Help!!! My Samsung galaxy player is bricked! (i think) - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

hello, my name is shahrukh and i need some help. i downloaded animmod (from 4shared) and then i donwloaded busybox. then i pressed blur and then it asked me if i want to reboot it. i pressed yes. this is when the problem starts. It turned off and then it turned on half way and then it turned off. it kept doing that and then i just left it for the night. in the morning it was not doing anything. when i held the power button it turned off and on for like two times and then turned off. i cant even start it up so i have no idea what to do.
i don"t know what to do
please help!!!!

Okay, we need details, describe exactly when "halfway on" is. We need your full model number and rom version (if you know it). Have you tried plugging it in to charge? Does it show anything now that you try to boot it? try holding volume up and powering on to enter recovery menu.

details
ok so when it turns on it says samsung. then after like 10 seconds it turns off. it does that for a few times and then it just goes in a black screen. the model number is YP-G7OC/NAW. when i plug it in to charge it goes on and off two times and then off. if it has low battery it just shows the sign. as for the rom i don't think i have any. i just rooted it using superoneclick. if it goes to recovery mode what do i do?
thanks!
(you got me really fired up when i saw the recovery menu!)

If you can get to recovery menu, try a factory reset, and clear cache. I am not sure if there is a recovery rom for your device, you should check samfirmware.com

tried both of them...no luck. and i couldn't find a recovery rom on samfrimware.com.

Your device has capacitive or mechanical home button?

it has a capacitive home button...the usa version

The phone boots in recovery?
If so, I can investigate a little more what's happening.

I'll try to post a return-to-stock image soon... The problem is that mine is cluttered with crap that the zergRush exploit added (it insisted on installing busybox instead of just rooting...)
(I'm not sure, but I think someone else already posted a stock zImage and system image...)

Here is the post about fixing capacitive buttons. A quick search of forum should have found it.

nooooooo!!! you guys have all got it wrong. first of all it doesnt boot in recovery. the only way to get in recovery mode is when it shows the battery sign i hold "up volume"+ power button.and the capaciative button is completely fine. im just stuck in a bootloop (i think) and it has nothing to do with a broken capacitive button! i will try to post a video today to show you guys exactly whats happening.

i kind of had the same problem, one time i thought i had entropy's kernel on and i had CWM well i didn't but i still thought i had so i tried rebooting into recovery using the terminal:
su
reboot recovery
then i turned off and went to this weird recovery menu it had four options, reboot system, apply update from SD card, wipe data partition, and power off and it had a ton of red letters and words saying like, couldn't access data partition or cache partition and couldn't access /data/media, or system, and then i just turned it off because i wouldn't let me choose an option, and then i got stuck in a loop but not during when it says SAMSUNG mine happened during the animation music part that look like fireworks and then SAMSUNG would light up blue then go through it again and 2 more times then go black and i tried flashing the US stock ROM in download mode but still would go through the loop and it doesn't even charge so i got nothing

so did you somehow fix yours? and i never got a recovery menu that showed something about shut down.:confused

Before brick
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

wait....are you asking me those questions? just to tell you im no developer or something. im just a 12 year old who has his galaxy player stuck in a boot loop. you have to make another thread if you have a problem.
sorry!

Ok. : ) You got it wrong. No problem. His case is different from mine. Just wanted to use her Brick in case. Nothing more. good luck.
I resolve my doubts alone. Nothing that Google does not respond. haha
At least before brick.

ok. let me ask google too xD

anyways..anyone have any idea of how to fix this boot loop?

im trying to do the Linux thing by running the ressurector ans the VM windows the forum is posted under development called hard brick recovery for galaxy 5.0

ok.(i have no idea what you are saying...just saying!)

[Q] Odin is flashing several hours...

I've flashed my Galaxy S2 with Odin several times and it has worked fine until yesterday, when I tried to flash again, and everything just froze.
I followed the normal instructions for flashing and the phone just stopped at the "downloading" screen where it says, "Do not turn of target!!".
So it has been, for several hours now. The Odin window on my computer seems to be waiting... but for what? Will it ever time out?
Is it normal that a flash session can take several hours?
Is it safe to interrupt it?

Odin will flash, takes less than 5 minutes.
Is there any data running that you can see? I mean at the bottom left. I would suggest you turn off the phone, battery pull, wait for 5 minutes, and reflash back.
If it semi bricked, use JIG to revive it.
Either way, you can't be letting the phone there for the next few days etc right?
Did you click Start in Odin??
Although i don't have an s2(will be getting one soon) did you try to reset your pc? When i was flasing my sgsl i was stuck in this situation where odin seems to freeze everytime. I restarted my pc and poof, flashed without a problem
Edit: was flashing successful? If so maybe you should follow the instruction from the post below.

This might sound stupid but did you have 'auto-reboot' checked? It happened to me once even though I have flashed hundreds of times. Odin was still open after flashing a kernel and never reset.
Start was clicked - yes.
Re boot was checked - yes.
I reset my computer and restarted my phone and - now it's still frozen, but with an icon on the center showing three icons in a line. First is a phone, second is a exlamation mark and third is a computer. Yiipiiiee. It doesn't boot. I can't get into recovery mode. Download mode does work however, but still the same behaviour. It freezes if I try to flash it.
Now what? Where is that reset-button which resets the phone and clears its brain down to original mode? A simple "brain wash" would be nice.
Is there anyway out of this "freeze of death" ?
Flash CWM kernel, download CM7 rom, copy it on SDCard (mount USB storage in CWM, connect to PC via USB, copy ROM), flash ROM from CWM

Try to go into recovery mode and factory reset and clear cache and try flashing again (make sure you are on download mode)

Hold power button to off it (hold a lil longer for this).
Then Go into recovery mode (power, home button and volume up at same time). Try do wipe all data, cache and even dalvik. Reboot and see if that works.
Alternatively, at the same place, go into restore backup.
The man said: "I can't go into recovery mode"
...
Recovery mode doesn't work - nope. But thanks anyway. It's nice to see that people at least try to help. Big hugs to you all.
If I try to flash CWM, I come into the same freeze again. Mindbending stuff ala Samsung, huh. They clearly don't make idiot-safe products. I'm stuck. My next phone might be a StarTAC...
Has happened to me before. KIES was opened. I closed all KIES files and the flashing fun started again~
Good point, make sure Kies isn't running when using Odin!
Also, now that you've flashed CWM, can't you boot on it?
Kies is not running and whatever I flash - it freezes. The green progress bar in Odin reaches maybe 1 cm, but no blue progress bar is visible on the phone as usually happens when flashing. It just says, "Downloading... Don't turn off target!!"
Am I slowly heading towards the brutal-axe-method?
Sounds like the NAND is damaged to me, but I'm no expert...
"NAND" means? Why does it sound like it's damaged? How can it get repaired?
NAND is the flash chip (internal sdcard). Seems that its damaged because you're unable to fully flash it.
I don't think you can have that repaired (if the NAND is truly damaged, like I said I'm no expert), you'd have to get the phone replaced.
With all respect, let's hope you aren't an expert, but better. But has anyone else interrupted a flash process and went though a "freeze"?
I'm looking for a way to reset the phone to use only what was burnt into ROM from first delivery. I just can't accept that it is so easy to mess up a phone, and I doubt Samsung would be so crazy not to build it with a rescue kinda last savior. Am I totally naive? Is my baby dead? :'(
lol I hope for you that I'm wrong also!

Something similar had happened with me too. The phone was stuck b/w flashing with odin. And the startscreen was showing those 3 icons. It was soft bricked.
But I then finally fixed it by flashing CF and then a ROM

[Q] SIII will not boot

Hi
So I've had my Samsung SIII for just over 18 months, and it's all worked fine etc. I've never rooted it or anything.
But this morning it will not boot up. When I try to switch it on the start up sequence happens, but it gets stuck on the flashing Samsung splash screen. If I turn it off it just restarts and ends up back on that screen. The only way to stop it is to take the battery out.
I've tried starting it in recovery mode (power+home button+vol up), but the standing, open android just flashes and I end up with the android lay down with the red exclamation mark from there. It then loops between the two androids and the Samsung SIII start up logo screen. I have tried to press the volume buttons whilst on the red exclamation mark screen but cannot get to anywhere from it.
However, it will load the download mode (power+home button+ vol down) just fine.
I have looked all over but most people encountering anything similar have rooted their devices, which I have not.
Also, last week I lost all of my contacts which were stored on the device (I don't know why) but that might have something to do with it.
I don't particularly want to hard reset the phone and lose everything, but if it's the only solution I will do.
Thanks.
In download mode is the product number shown or a blank?
If it shows i9300 then you have a good chance of flashing either a full stock rom or a rescue firmware (see general forum) using odin. You will need to factory reset in recovery afterward, but your data is almost certainly unrecoverable.
If the product number is blank then you have partial SDS and require a new motherboard.

Do has boomboomer said above but as a last resort before flashing back to stock or a rescue firmware if you flash PhilZ recovery in download mode with odin.You then have a Aroma option in PhilZ recovery to browse and copy phone files so you may be able to recover some data pictures etc.
Please read PhilZ thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 << and the special features thread about Aroma file manager in post #3
Please note use as a last resort to get your data back! and read everything! Also all this is presuming you can get into PhilZ recovery after flashing..
I'm having the same problem , been looking through lots of topics. When I switch on the phone it's not booting android guy lays on his back. Download mode and Android Recovery are in my range.
I've been trying to flash stock-firmware from sammobile.com with ODIN but no effect , I mean It all went OK in Odin Operation list than fially phone reset and PASS. But this android guy is still laying on his back and making fun of me xD
Before trying to get back to stock ROM, I've had rooted phone and installed RR with 4.4.2 for S3, now I don't have a clue what shall I do next ...
Any ideas ? (the noob[me] have asked )

[Q] I-9300 bootloop and no recovery

Hello,
I have a S3 which is stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo.
when i turn it on it shows the logo for some seconds then the screen goes black and the logo re-appears.
i can not boot into recovery mode, but download mode is working without a problem every time.
i tried flashing stock firmwares with odin and also tried kies emergency firmware recovery. the flashing always went without any problem, but it had effect. whatever i try, i am never able to boot into recovery and still stuck in the bootloop.
in some tries after flashing the screen just shows the samsung logo forever, but after rebooting it once it then is stuck in a bootloop again (shows the logo - screen goes black - shows the logo...)
i also tried flashing TWRP and CWM via odin, but again i can never boot into recovery mode.
what should i try next?
thx alot for any helpful comment

You can Try this:
1.) Pull out battery
2.) Put it in again
3.) Press Vol up + home + power
4.) When the Samsung Logo appears let it off
I think you press the Buttons too long.
I had the same problem!

i really tried everything, it's not working. btw with i am stuck at the very first image, where it says "samsung Galaxy sII GT-I9300".
i dont think it's just the way i press the buttons because i can reach it on my s1 and s2 without a problem, it's just not working on this device.
could some setting like "nand erase all" in odin help? in other threads there is sometimes mentioned that the internal file system might be screwed up and in those cases a simple odin reflash does not help anymore...
Nand erase will usually hard brick it. Try the rescue firmware from general forum, sticky thread. Follow the guide exactly as it includes a pit file.

thx, but i already did that (multiple times) and flashing via odin always succeeds. then the phone reboots and is stuck at the first samsung galaxy s.. screen. twice i managed somehow to get into recovery (after flashing cwm6) but it then randomly rebooted.
and i dont think that the power button is stuck because when i am in download mode it is perfectly fine it never reboots itself unexpectedly.
Had a similar issue on my tab2 p3100. It all happened when I tried flashing a custom recovery from rom manager.
A bad flash of anything related to recovery or bootloader could be a probable cause.
I remember a knowledge share on one of the threads describing this issue and as mentioned on it all I had to do is this:
1) switch off the device and plug in the charger. This would light up the display showing you the charging status. The status has to show if at least your bootloader part of the phone is fine.
2) plug out the charger and immediately press the three buttons (home + vol up + power) get into recovery mode. This step has to work and help you get to recovery mode.
***Note : the interval within which this step has to be performed is too short since the display would turn off immediately as soon as you plug out the charger. A bit tricky too so you have to be fast. If this misses getting you into recovery, pull out the battery and put it back again. Repeat step1 and 2 again.
3) upon successfully getting into recovery, perform wipe data, cache and select reboot phone from option available on recovery again.
Allow the device to boot. This could take a while since you have performed a data wipe and may prompt for first time set up.
I was able to restore functionality on my tab after these steps and like ppl learn from their mistakes, I then learnt that recoveries and bootloaders are things that needs to be done with a pc only.
Worth a try if you have tried other alternatives and found no go. may help. Who knows..
all the best.
thats also not working. i tried to get into recovery since two days now...
i also tried the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367
but again, after i flash the cf-root (successfully) the phone does neither boot into recovery by itself nor can i do it by hand...
its crazy... in download mode i can see the model number (GT-I9300) and i thought as long as the model number is there and i can enter download mode there should be a way to recover the device.
but i cannot think of anything to try that i have not done yet
If the rescue firmware didn't help then it looks like the emmc chip is damaged.

i just dont want to let the phone go, it looks still so shiny
is there anything else that could cause the phone not booting into recovery mode after flashing custom recoveries?

Same here, still didn't found how to fix it.. I guess our motherboard just died..
Howewer I have a solution that "almost" worked for me.
Get a stock firmware in odin and turn on Nand erase and T-flash
When it's done phone reboots and you'll see just "Downloading..." mode when you turn it on.
Then got to Kies and Select firmware recovery...
Enter s/n and model name and wait for the flash to complete.
With it , I got past boot logo and actually booted into android but the phone crashed because I guess I have a memory issue..
Well , gl. If you don't find anything else helpful , try going with this method..

Help with HTC amazed, display has no lights but the phone is on.

Hello, I have an HTC Amaze for over a year now. It was working fine, I rooted it CWM 5. and I installed Android revolution custom ROM. Until 2 weeks ago my battery was giving me some trouble, so i put away the phone for a bit, I bought a new battery then I notice the phone wasn't coming on. SO i charge for an entire day it still wasn't charging. I carried it to the shop. They said, that they don't know whats wrong with the phone.
I came home and decide am going to fix it my self i tried powering it into recovery mode, hard reset. screen is still blank, at lease that is what I thought. I look closely and then i notice the phone was in recovery mode but no lights were on in the screen. So normally I thought what anyone would of thought, the bulb in the screen or some kind of wiring went bad. The i tried wiping cache davlik install new new rom. Nothing worked. and this was defficult because I had to use a flash light to see on the screen. Lastly, i just click reboot and then the phone lights up perfectly and HTC logo comes up and then it blanks off again. So can anyone help? any advise

Find the way to install adb and communicate with the phone via adb and fastboot. If you can do that, you will be able to install anything necessary to get the phone working again.
First however, remove the battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert the battery and charge the phone overnight. Next day, try and start phone usual way--see what happens.
If NOTHING happens and you get a black screen, remove battery again for a few seconds, reinsert, and this time hold the power button in for AT LEAST 20 seconds.
See if that starts the phone.
If you get absolutely nothing again, find the "Unbricking Project" thread, but if you get any kind of screen, see if you can boot to recovery and restore anything. If you get a screen but can't do any kind of restore at all, find instructions for adb and fastboot I mentioned earlier, so you can install a new recovery and flash a new rom..
I did everything you said. Except I complete forget how to flash recovery and custom rom from my pc but when I type command in fastboot "adb devices" it was successful.
However, I charge the phone and I got into the recovery mode again and the wipe everything and then click backup and recovery. I rebooted the phone and it came on as if its a brand new HTC Amaze. I had the phone working i rejoice for a bit and then I realize I forget to put in my sim card. So i turn the phone off, put in the sim card. The same problem again. No led, no light in the screen, the phone atomatically boots into recovery mood.
One more thing. when booting into recovery mode. the phone doesn't go where I see the 3 android at the bottom and you see, fastboot, reset etc. It goes straight to cwm screen.

I think that is what you should see when you boot into recovery.
Do whatever you did before to get the phone lit up again, then change the display settings to maybe 3/4 brightness for instance. Reboot the phone normal reboot and see if it comes back with light.
If it does, maybe you are fixed enough to install the sim.
Do you possibly have a nandroid backup saved somewhere, you could put it back in the phone via recovery?
The phone is lit up again like you asked me to do. It was hard to see in recovery mode. But i used a flashlight to look on the screen of the AMAZE then i flash a new custom rom. After multiple tries I got it up. SO its up and the brightness is at its highest point. But I dont believe thats the problem. I just need to figure out how the light stays off when in recovery mood but comes on when booted normally. Its as though the recovery is broken. How do I fix it? if its broken

[Q] One S Bricked? Won't boot

So I rooted my HTC ONE S (villec2) today, and I wanted to flash a custom rom on it. I got a recovery (turned out to be a bad one, but it worked either way.... I noticed way too late it was made for HTC One M8) I got TWRP 2.7.1.0 and I got it working on my phone. I then backed up the system, and realized I messed up the recovery. In the meantime I got a CM 12.1 img on it and wiped the thing. The wipe removed the old Android system and the CM I downloaded was a bad download. If I go to recovery in the bootloader, it will just do the HTC white screen with "Entering Recovery" and the red warning logo but it won't get anywhere. It's just stuck there. So now, I'm stuck with a device that won't boot normally - just stuck on the white HTC screen, will boot into bootloader, and I want to know if there's a way of accessing the internal storage without being in the operating system. The worst thing is, there's no external SD Card, all just internal... Please god help me. I'm really stressing out about this since it's the only phone I have and if I lose it.... well I'm practically f-ed.... :crying: I know that I messed a few things up really badly and I'm not sure what state the phone is in.
Also just to add, the phone is barely loading up right now. I'm really scared since it's my only phone and it won't even boot normally right now. It's really acting strange, it was on 90% battery but now it might just be dead... i don't know.... someone please help
I honestly think I screwed it up.... All it does now is just a white flash / flicker when I hold the power button (both only power button and vol down) and that's it. I'm really disappointed right now but oh well.... Maybe just because the battery is not charged.... Also been looking around the other threads and looks like a lot of people had the same issue but with 0 replies...

I have no way of trying the stock rom. I cannot access the phone itself because I deleted the OS. There's a weird thing, that if I plug the USB to the computer, it does the connect windows sound but the phone's internal storage is still not accessible.... So as it turns out I can get to the freaking bootloader but then it just turns off with a white flicker a second later.... I have no clue what to do :crying:
try to hook your device with windows and hold the Volume Down and Power
to see if it can detect it

Alright. I slept through the night and now I'm here trying to resolve this again. Status now, is that when I try to boot it up, it just shows a white flicker and won't turn on. no matter if i try to boot in bootloader or normally. The device doesn't appear to be charging when I plug it in because it doesn't show the LED light for charging. I think it's hard bricked. I tried other threads, showing bright light to the proximity sensor, but nothing happened.
//edit// - My bootloader was unlocked, and I was on S-ON (HTC ONE S, S3 villec2) that might change on your phone and might make the process different
So I fixed it. I will leave the tutorial for anyone in the future that might be having the same issue. If you "locked yourself out" of your system, eg. no OS, and broken recovery just plug it into the computer, try somehow getting into bootloader, go into fastboot and plug the usb cable to your computer so you're in Fastboot USB. Then you can flash a recovery on the phone using a fastboot command. I believe it's fastboot flash recovery _filename_. Just google that, there'll be plenty. Then you have the recovery and you're back on track. After that you can get the rom you wanted. Just don't make my mistake, and check if your device is exactly the same as the files you're downloading for it. I messed up there . Anyway, good luck everyone!
t
yea
Happy to hear that u have fixed your phone add "solved " to the title and add a fast tutorial for help purpose
