Help Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5630 stuck on boot loop

So this one time I was playing with the game Flow (it sometimes crashes the phone if the board size is too big). It was working fine. Then I minimized the app. Several minutes later I got a call, everything is still normal.

Several minutes after the call though, I discovered that my phone has shut itself down. I tried to power it on but then it's stuck on the SAMSUNG screen, forever looping the animation.

I looked up for help and they say to flash the thing. The problem is I don't know the exact version of the ROM needed. Moreover, I tried flashing once with Odin and thru the install screen, at the end it said "can't mount" something, I forgot.

I never played around with the system before, I think. The only one time I tinkered around with it was to be able to move apps freely to SDcard, and it was quite long ago.

So any help with this?
 
I can't flash my phone. its USB debugging is turned off. and I seriously can't go to the menu. it is stuck on the boot screen.. :confused: :(:mad::mad:
 
Hi, I think my sister has downloaded a malicious app and now her phone will not boot past the "samsung" loading screen. :mad:
I have done a factory reset and cleared the cache.
Also can't be sent to manufactures as it is not under warranty.
I don't know what else to do can someone please help me.

Thanks~ :)
 
My sisters phone is stuck on a boot loop as well. I don't know how she got her phone in such a state. If anyone can help please let me know too.


I've tried to google it but keep coming across "factory reset" but thats not helping at all.
 
Hello foxtrap!
I moved your thread into this thread that you have already posted in. :)

It's a little easier to keep issues in one place than make several posts/thread about the same issue:)

You said you factory reset the device and it still is bootlooping?
How did you go about the factory reset? Via recovery?
 
if u manage to get into dwnload m0de u can fix it just use the indian firmware i fix my phone using it i cnt put a link coz im on m0bile
Just search for galaxy indian firmware
 
If you are not able to go to the recovery mode...
go to download mode... (power+home+down buttons)
conect phone to the pc... now press the up button to confirm...
if odin detects your phone.. i.e., if you get a yellow box in odin... heave a sigh of relief...
now download your galaxy y's firmware...and follow the instructions on a website.. like... galaxyyarchive ... and if it helps u... press thanks
