So I'm following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010846
I just did step 6: flashing the cm7 initial kernel but I forgot to uncheck autoreboot.
Now the phone is stuck on a screen that has the cyanogenmod logo under "GalaxyS"
Phone restart and battery pull did nothing. Should I follow the un-brick tutorials?
UPDATE: So I got into download mode by putting the battery in while the usb is connected and the volume buttons are held. I re-flashed the cm7 initial kernel this time unchecking the autoreboot. Odin says "PASS!"
BUT the screen is now at the download mode screen with the progress bar full. Do I reboot manually?

Hi
I used the factory reset function on my tab a couple days ago to delete all apps and such and upon reboot it was stuck at the slowly flashing Samsung logo and would proceed no further. I left it for a good hour and a half in that state before I tried hard resetting it but no dice. I've had it do this before when I first rooted it, but unlike that time it doesn't replay the whole boot animation, just the logo part at the end of the animation. I managed to get it in clockwork mod or bootloader whatever that function is and cleared all the caches and did a reboot recovery (i believe thats what it was called) but upon reboot it did the same exact thing. So after that I gave up and went to bed, but the next day when I went back at it again it wouldn't even turn on. After messing around with the power button and volume button trying to get into recovery mode it finally turned on but went to the battery screen with no other actions. I've tried several times to get it into recovery mode but it either wont turn on or it just goes to the battery screen. I have it plugged into my pc at the moment and apparently it is in recovery mode or something because Odin recognizes it. Says [0:COM3] and the box is yellow, but the screen never turns on though when holding the power button and volume button while it's plugged into a pc, the pc recognizes something plugged into the USB slot. My pc is only recognizing it as a modem and will do nothing else with it.
I have the Starburst rom and the overclocked kernel installed and would like to either revert it to stock rom or perhaps the AOKP rom, milestone 6. Is there any way to do this if I can't boot it into a state where I can access the SD card on my pc? All the guides I've found always require I put files on the sd card to flash in clockwork recovery mod. Thanks for any assistance
Edit: Solved it myself, feel free to delete this post. Thanks!

Had a SGS2 I9100-G, Gingerbread 2.3.5, XXKI4.
1)Tried to flash ICS RR, rebooted, stuck at SAMSUNG LOGO + Exclamation mark;
2)Tried to flash STOCK ROM, got NAND error in Odin, PC - ! - Phone logo shows up;
3)Flashed the GINGERBREAD VERSION kernel from [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!), rebooted, now the SAMSUNG LOGO + Exclamation mark shows up again;
4)Tried to flash Lightning ROM, Odin failed after writing a while, PC - ! - Phone logo shows up again;
5)Did step 3 again;
6)Tried to flash the Recovery Package/ROM from [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!) without .PIT and without Re-Partition (steps 1-4), got NAND error;
7)Did step 3 again, JAM;
-----------------------
Now my device cannot be powered on by any combination of buttons, except when I connect it to a power source(PC, AC). After I plug the device, the SAMSUNG LOGO + Exclamation mark shows without any push of button and I cannot acces DOWNLOAD MODE anymore.
Tried evey combination possible: download mode combination before the device gets plugged in, after, long pressing, short pressing ... and nothing.
How can I fix this?
Thank you.
Later: I've made myself a jig. I'll post a photo with it later when I'll manage to get this done.
Later2: **** IT! The jig worked just fine, entered download mode a couple of times. Noticed the counter was still the same, but I didn't care as long as I had could access the download mode. Now the jig is useless ... the download mode no longer shows up. The solding is fine, but I don't see any reason for the jig to stop working. Any ideas?

Bump!
I solved the problem minutes ago. Here's what happened:
1)I was getting the NAND error because the KIES service was still running, althou the processes were killed;
2)The USB cable I was using wasn't working as expected, althou the drivers were installed correctly;
3)The ROM I was trying to flash isn't compatible with 9100G, that's why I had bricked it;
4)When I was unable to access download mode, I've made myself a JIT and succeded to flash a new kernel, but suddenly it stopped working; the JIT was no longer able to enter the download mode ... because the device's battery was empty;
5)Finally I flashed a STOCK GINGERBREAD ROM through PDA and everything went good.
Thanks ... for the views.
Hope this helps someone else.
Hello there,
I was trying to flash Rj's Custom Kernel to my Glaaxy Player 5 which I had just rooted using SuperOneClick.
I went into download mode (Power+Volume-down+Back button) on my phone, opened up Odin and selected the tar file I downloaded as a PDA, Only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time were checked, nothing else was changed.
Clicked Start and the process appeared to go Successfully in Odin, when the phone was reset the Samsung Logo appeared for longer than usual, and my computer (which was still connected via USB) complained that the USB device was not recognised, then eventually the phone rebooted to the Samsung Logo and the process repeats itself ad infinitum.
The only thing I can do is get the phone back into Download Mode, and flash another rom, but I don't know what to try, can anyone please help me get my phone back to working order?
Cheers,
Blaiz0r.

Does your player have a mechanical home button because if it has a home button that is a light capacative and also if its capacitive you need entropeys kernel search on google
So here is a quick overview of a problem.
Had Cyanogen mod installed on the phone and something went wrong for no apparent reason. The phone just got stuck on the infinite loop and the recovery would not load as well. So I flashed the phone to stock firmware and that did not help (Did it with odin and kies) also tried installing clockwork mod but that did not help neither. Phone restarts and get stuck on Samsung loading screen. When I go to download mode phone also restarts after few seconds of me being in download mode(But after few restarts is stops, so that makes DL mode available) . Recovery menu is not available(Displays a broken robot with no errors on the bottom and also restarts after few seconds of me being in recovery menu). If anyone would help me out with this I would really appreciate it.
Restarting in download mode is usually a stuck power button, try giving it a wiggle before you insert the battery.
Flash a full stock rom with odin, then boot straight into recovery and factory reset. Look for any error messages in recovery.
I wanted to root my i9100, so after a quick google search I came up with this file: http ://downloadandroidrom. com/file/GalaxyS2/recovery/CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.tar
I booted my phone into download mode, and installed the tar via odin. I ticked PDA and pressed "start", everything was fine.
When it finished, I tried to boot my phone but it just won't boot. It's stuck on the Galaxy SII logo with the yellow triangle, and after a few seconds the screen just goes completely black. The phone is on, I can tell because when I plug it in my PC does the USB sound, and automatically installs driver, but there's nothing on the screen.
I can't boot into download or recovery mode either, my phone is basically dead.
Is there any way to get it running?
