no os, bootlooping, unable to access download or recovery mode.

It was a LineageOS ROM for Ace 2 because thats what i thought my device was.
ok so just to be clear fastboot commands in adb does not work even though your pc sees your device (...well sort of). you can't use odin because you can't get into download mode....which does nothing other then to flash some lights....is that all correct?

i wonder if you pretend that when you do the button combo to get to download mode (even if it really does not do anything) and try and flash using odin. or even try adb fastboot commands by trying to boot into fastboot, regardless of what the screen is showing.

What are the fastboot commands that i need to run?

yeah flashing a rom not made specifically for your device creates complications like yours. going forward i would go by model numbers rather then device names....especially with samsung devices.


What are the fastboot commands that i need to run?
try fastboot reboot recovery. this should get you to the recovery mode screen. you should be able to from there get to twrp

Like i stated above, my device isnt detected the way it should be,
when i ran the fastboot command it just said "waiting for device" even thought the device is connected
ok well i was hoping that while bootlooping communication between your phone and computer would still work.

TBH i'm not sure what else you can try. i mean if odin or adb does not work, your phone might be hard bricked. like i said earlier, i do not know what other options you have at this point.

when i run it, it will get as far as setup connection because my phone will just restart itself pretty much
well that is not really seeing the phone per se. if it just stops at setup connection and nothing else then it is not communicating properly. another suggestion is to try like a different cable or maybe even on another computer. but TBH i don't think those will will help either.

i wish i had a solution for you that will work.

like i said earlier.....maybe it is time to start thinking about upgrading.

Due to what you just said after explaining about the phone losing connection just at the beginning of the intervention..leads me to the question..what was the last time you change the battery..the battery might be fairly not that old..but maybe when you did the wrong rom..maybe that fried your battery..or a component inside the phone

By flashing the wrong rom, what components would've fried. Just so you know, it worked perfectly fine before i advanced wiped every thing off of the device and i tried to flash the .zip using TWRP not using Odin.
