You tried actually understanding the basics before flashing ???
Downloading mode is part of flashing stock roms have you connected ODIN ???

Probably not the right topic, but my answer isn't based on fact and/or experience with CM9 - for good reasons, I don't do betas, ever - so we're quits...
Haven't read your post history, but you seem to be yet another new guy who is flashing an unstable beta ROM without previous experience and/or knowledge.
I can't for the life of me understand why inexperienced people do this. Presume there's some overriding urge to have The NextBigThingCoolLolzz on the phone...
DON'T!!!.
Read every sticky here, read every FAQ. If you think you understand - you don't. Read, read and read again.
Think you've got it it? You haven't. Read some more.
Then - and only then - try and flash a 2.3.6, never an ICS. If that goes well, read and read and read.
Then you're ready to take the consequences of flashing beta buggy ROMs (and that's what they are - could use stronger terminology, but I respect the devs..), and you can't say you haven't done your research etc.
Nothing personal. You're just diving into the deep end with lead-filled boots. Never going to end well, yes?

Flash back to stock. You clearly have no business flashing such an immature ROM, because you are apparently not equipped to deal with any issues that arise from using it.

Only used this once, but I now feel the need to bookmark it...

Boot loop on 5.0

I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 (YP-G70CWY) and used it for a few weeks until I got the itch to root and install a new rom. I successfully rooted and installed RemICS-UX Electric Catfish. I like the rom but the camera is a deal breaker given my needs unfortunately (the tablet mode was a great experience).
In my attempt to revert back to the stock rom something happened. I used Odin and successfully installed a new pit file along with the related tar. I have since done it many more times using different roms. However, with each successful Odin message the player reboots it shows the boot animation with sound and then enters into a boot loop.
I have read every post I could find on fixing boot loop for the Galaxy Player 5.0. I have carefully applied each solution without success.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated. I have rooted tablets and phones and run custom roms without problems. I am not an expert but by no means am a noob. However, I have met my match with this Player!
Thank you in advance for you time.

you need to boot into recovery (just hold power + vol up until samsung logo) and wipe data and cache. then the bootloop will (should) magically go away!
PS, have you tried cm10 or PA-JB? The camera preview is kind of messed up but it still takes pictures perfectly fine (just remember to set focus to infinity first). PA-JB has a Hybrid engine that allows you to choose not only between phone and tablet mode, but also phablet (aka nexus 7) mode!
Not trying to put down PA, but I get Gallery, PA Preferences, and random app FCs on all three times I've tried the ROM. If this is just me, I'll shut up, but that's why I stick to CM10

That is a picture of a forced download mode. Re-flash with Odin, and try going to recovery again. If you need both Bluetooth and camera, unfortunately you will have to stay on gingerbread for now.
That was easy. Thank you so very much. Next time I will put my pride aside a few hours earlier.
Looks like I am sticking with gb for now. Any suggestions on the best gb rom? I will probably try them all. Just hoping to avoid some unnecessary effort. I already made the mistake in upgrading without proper research and look where that got me
Thanks in advance to any suggestions!

SCH-i500 Bricked

Hello everyone; I've been desperately attempting to get CM7 installed on my Samsung Fascinate since its release, and I have been unable to do so despite it being 'so very easy'. Today I had installed CM10 on my HP touchpad with zero issues, so I decided to attempt to install CM7 on my Fascinate again.
While following this tutorial (http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/32474-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-samsung-fascinate-v710-9-oct-2011/) I came across a step that 'bricked' my phone. Below are the steps that I was required by the tutorial to take:
Root the device and install ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions are available here.
My phone had been previously rooted; I purchased, downloaded and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery onto my phone successfully.
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
I elected NOT to do a NANDroid backup; my phone was cluttered and I decided that if things wen't wrong, I'd like to reboot into a factory reset phone and re-root from scratch (where inlies my issues).
Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
I did, successfully.
Perform a factory reset.
This is the last step in which I was able to complete (for obvious reasons) after the factory reset was complete, however, I was UNABLE to get into download mode to be able to finish the ClockworkMod Recovery (all files for CM7 are still on my SD card ready to go). However, upon rebooting my phone I've noticed that my home screen manager does NOT function, and I am unable to navigate within my phone. It does NOT launch when I hit my home button, and I've been unable to do anything else with my phone.
Flash CyanogenMod.
I was unable to get to this step.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.
I was unable to get to this step.
Being a tech geek, I would not open a thread unless I've exhausted all options at my disposal; A quick Google search resulted in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746) in which I was sure I'd be able to get my phone working again. However, the files associated with it (EB01All in 1) are no longer hosted at the links provided. An extensive Google search yielded no results.
What I'd like to be able to do is to get my phone operational to the point where I can continue with the installation of CM7. Any and all help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I would use section 4 of that guide by droidstyle

From what I can gather by your post, you're suggesting that I use section 4 of this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17050028
In which I would not be able too, considering almost all of the pertinent files that were uploaded for use cannot be found, and are no longer hosted. Anything else?
=========================
Update:
By some sort of miracle I was able to get my phone into download mode by using the SDK command; as of now I'm loading up CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5 as you've suggested. I'll update this post again once the process is complete.

okay so, why did you root the phone? that was an extra step that was unneeded. you just had to flash cwm_fix_cm7 or whatever and then boot into cwm and flash cm7. also, I'd flash EH03, that's gingerbread, you don't have to go back all the way to EB01 or whatever, no need to. and lastly, you shouldn't of factory reset it. it sounds to me like you have soft bricked it, does it boot up, even with errors? if you can bout it, try powering it off and then take out the battery and the SD card, then hit the vol - and power and it should boot into download mode. (also put the usb into the port and phone before) but like hhp said I'd go read droidstyles guide
What I don't get is why you'd want to use CM7 when there's a ton of great 4.2 roms available for the Fascinate (including CM10.1) that run very nicely

Probably Bricked My YP-70

Hi Everybody,
I was trying to install a new version of cyanogenmod that held kitkat, worked, but heres the problem. After installing the new rom i wanted to put a different kernel. This specific kernel I wanted was not compatible with kitkat, but i wasn't reading, so when it was booting up it was stuck at the Galaxy S Cyanogenmod booting screen. I turned it off and put the device in cwm recovery. I was going to put the right kernel for the device but the SD wound't mount. I looked for a solution, which led me to odin. When I started flashing the status was frozen at nand start write. So I stupidly unplugged it, so now I am greeted with a Phone+!+PC please help me!

Without seeing a picture of the screen, I'm going to have to assume the screen is a blue color with a picture of a computer on it.
If so, that's not a problem at all. That screen is basically the same thing as ODIN/Download mode.
With your device on that screen simply replug in your USB cable and reflash with ODIN.
If you could provide a picture of the screen, I could definitely say for sure that your device is good to go, or not.

If you're talking about this above, then do as Higgs_Boson said above. This is just a force download mode, and happens when you improperly flash something.

Tried functions (not their functionality) and worked quite well. I am still waiting for my 1+1, still under processing..
I have one question though, is it possible to allow this utility to flash own files like recovery or kernel without downloading any by referring to our own copies? If not, can that be implemented in any future version?
Newest version still opens and says outdated, and trys to prompt me to download the EXE file again, over, and over, and over. Disconnecting from the internet should fix this problem, but i mean, really, who does that anymore.

and when started without internet connected, straight to run time errors from trying to connect to dropbox on start, and having improper try/catch methods for startup.

[Q] Soft Bricked Nexus 4

Hi there, first of all I need to say that I'm sorry if I started this topic in the wrong section, second of all sorry for my english. Hope that I will be undrestood.
On my Nexus 4, I was running CM 11 custom ROM, and I've heard about the brand new one named Lollipop 5.0 . I've found Mako build for that new ROM and tryed to flash it via Rom Manager (Play Store). It runned smoth without any issues even if it's just an alpha release. But one day I've checked my storage tab, seen there that almost half of entire memory it was full, and I didn't had than just a few low space requiered apps. I tough about it and I realised that Lollipop ROM was installed OVER CM 11, of course not the ROM by itself but even if it wiped all data before to install the Lollipop, all junk stuff from CM 11 remain there.
So i wanted to reinstall a fresh copy of that Lollypop by using Nexus Toolkit.
Things would have been fine if my computer suddenly restarted while processing the flashing ROM, right after it wiped everything or something like that. Bad luck, huh?
So now I've got a soft bricked Nexus 4, where bootloader apparently still works but without recovery wich now it's replaced by and android dead icon and over that big red triangle, and when pressing the correct combination of volume + power buttons should give me fastboot, instead of that I'm stuck on "Download Mode". One more thing I forgot to mention, If I'll boot up device and run straight without pressing nothing, it will pop out the Google loading screen and it will stuck there, doing nothing.

I've read many threads about how to unbrick devices. Still got no answer because they refer at other soft brick posibilities, that includes pushing backups or what requires to simply flash them by fastboot or ADB, the problem here is that those posibilities will be great if I CAN get acces to my phone, what that means is I cannot run "USB debugging" to get my device being recognized by computer in this dead stage. Even my drivers are installed and "Download Mode" is active where should, as I read, grant me the acces to device even if it's not waked up completely. And second option to unbrick it leads me to the recovery mode (wich is dead) and restore from there a previous backup, and even if I had access to it, I DON'T have a backup.
So the big question for you guys about this annoying mishap: "Is there still a possibility to push files from computer to device, or I need to visit an authorized service?"
Thank you in advance. Peace.

Hi there, first of all I need to say that I'm sorry if I started this topic in the wrong section, second of all sorry for my english. Hope that I will be undrestood.
On my Nexus 4, I was running CM 11 custom ROM, and I've heard about the brand new one named Lollipop 5.0 . I've found Mako build for that new ROM and tryed to flash it via Rom Manager (Play Store). It runned smoth without any issues even if it's just an alpha release. But one day I've checked my storage tab, seen there that almost half of entire memory it was full, and I didn't had than just a few low space requiered apps. I tough about it and I realised that Lollipop ROM was installed OVER CM 11, of course not the ROM by itself but even if it wiped all data before to install the Lollipop, all junk stuff from CM 11 remain there.
So i wanted to reinstall a fresh copy of that Lollypop by using Nexus Toolkit.
Things would have been fine if my computer suddenly restarted while processing the flashing ROM, right after it wiped everything or something like that. Bad luck, huh?
So now I've got a soft bricked Nexus 4, where bootloader apparently still works but without recovery wich now it's replaced by and android dead icon and over that big red triangle, and when pressing the correct combination of volume + power buttons should give me fastboot, instead of that I'm stuck on "Download Mode". One more thing I forgot to mention, If I'll boot up device and run straight without pressing nothing, it will pop out the Google loading screen and it will stuck there, doing nothing.
