Galaxy ACE S5830B - can't access download mode through buttons or jig

Hello everyone,

I have a Galaxy ACE S5830B in bootloop. I can't flash it via odin since I could not put the device in download mode.

Button combinations give me either a "LT (Little Kernel)" message or just the word "downloading..." in yellow, but not the download mode. Odin won't recognize the phone connected via USB in these cases.

When another combination is used, I see "Emergency Dload mode" written on the screen and the Odin can find the phone. But flashing procedure doesn't work since it's not on download mode

I used a JIG USB and it showed "ARM Factory Download Mode". Also innefective for odin.

I read about booting on download mode through adb (never done it), but I can't enable USB debugging because it won't turn on. Is there another way to do it, or does anyone have an alternative idea?

Thank you very much
