i wanted it to put [KERNEL][CWM][OC&UV] rj's custom kernel for Galaxy Player 5.0 INTL (YP-G70) r13 in my device and ODIN said PASS in green and i thought it was done and then it started booting AND ITS STUCK ON SAMSUNG BOOT UP LOGO FOR 15 MINUTES,i bricked it!!
PLEASE help me how to make it work back, it was Froyo 2.2.
Search for threads on boot loops. That's what that is called, and there are plenty of threads on how to fix it

I think the instruction in that thread is for US Galaxy Player. Following that down to letter will really brick his device. He will need a ROM that match his international device.
He was trying to flash a GB kernel on a Froyo system, which is most likely what caused the problem. Reflashing the stock kernel on rj's thread will not help.
What he need to do is to reflash a stock ROM or some other odin ROM under development forum. If his device is an international YP-G70 5.0, these Odin flashable ROM should fix the problem.
Stock ROM:

Now let's check if you can go to download mode (Home+power+vol down). If you can still get to download mode, then you should be able to flash one of the above ROMs.

I went from stock Froyo to a custom GB rom without a hitch... The issue here seems that he might have tried a US rom on his international unit... Also to get into Download mode is Vol down (-) + Power... Hold them both until you see the yellow download mode picture... then plug in to your PC to run Odin3...
On a second read... I realized the OP had put a GB kernel on his stock (Probably Froyo) rom... hence the bootloop... You need to get the entire rom package... Look for the threads that start with [ROM]... and not [Kernel]... and also make sure you are getting the right (International or US) rom for your device... Good luck

hello,
i have been unable to install custom ROMs on my galaxy s2, various forums indicate the installation took place but in my own case the installation process stops when ever the kernel is trying to unpack the .zip file in order to commence installation. i have followed the step by step procedures of the devs but still havent been able to. especially resurrection and batista. are there any prerequisites i need to follow. i am currently using a rooted SGS2, kernel cf-root 5.2, stockROM XXLPH 4.0.3. thnks much.
i am not an expert when it comes to resurrection or batista, but i believe that some newer roms need at least the cwm recovery that comes with cf-root 5.4 or above, so maybe you should flash a newer stock rom with a corresponding newer cf-root to begin flashing.
or, if you want, you could flash the latest siyah kernel through odin, which is compatible with both stock and aosp/aokp roms and have a nice new touch recovery that is certainly able to flash all roms as well.
also, a problem is also a question and this thread belongs in the q&a section. reported. this time someone will move it for you, in the future, please post in the correct section in the first place, for reference have a look at the thread Questions belong in Q&A.
thank you for the response. kindly advice on what stable stock roms i could try. cus i believe i have also tried with a 5.3 but still same.
just also tried the F1 nexus rom still same. maybe i need to take the S2 back to factory, like repartitioning and all, pls what do you advice cus i think something behind has been messed up.
i also noticed something, when i flash with a stock ROM, the fone reboots into the android sytem recovery and i get an error "dst read(I/0 error)". please what does this mean.
please can someone help , i can only flash ROM's through ODIN, but cannot install zip files through recovery. recovery never unpacks the files and all ROM's come as zip files. please help
Hi everyone,
I am having issues with my Samsung S3 i9300. I rooted the phone while using ICS OS, then updated to jelly bean today, via official update. Then unfortunately tried to install chainfire 3D and my phone is now stuck on the samsung sIII i9300 logo.
I have tried to wipe all the data by using volume up + home + power, but still no success.
Furthermore, I was trying to do a fresh install from a downloaded stock firmware from samsung website, but I do not know the exact model number/code for my device as I really did not pay attention before. How can I check the firmware version if the phone does not start?
Please really need your help, as I am new to android and Samsung S3 and I am stuck.
Please any other suggestions?? I have not made any backup (neither with CWM) of the phone, but it does not matter, phone was almost clean.
Thanks in advance!!

Any firmware version will work?
Will the firmware version on that link work on my device?
Are there any other special procedures to flash the firmware of my phone (besides the instructions on that link) that I need to be aware of, or just by using the pda with Odin it will work fine? Since my phone was already rooted and so on....
thanks
Might be a kernel so just flash something new.
Dear all,
I know there are multiple threads running for the same, but still i was not able to understand most of the way. Am having SII which is running on Android 4.0.4, I want to root my phone so that i can install Jelly Bean Rom available in the forum.
last i have rooted Galaxy Spica 5700, but it required flashing device with Odin and instillation of a new kernel. But it seems like many new things have came up. Can someone please post me Point by point procedure of rooting my device with ClockworkMod recovery.
Plenty of threads that answer this question in detail. No need for people to duplicate topics or answers.
look at this

If you know how to flash kernels via odin its simple. Just download siyah kernel for i9100 , install the drivers required fr odin , flash the kernel in download mode. It will give you rot access and CWM recovery. Then yo can boot into recovery,wipe data/cache and install any rom you want. But do not wipe anything n stock recovery since you are on 4.0.4 (which has the brick bug)
you can also root by stock recovery just by flashing a single .zip file. But if you know the way to do it by odin i suggest the odin mehtod.
and to flash JB....MobileOdin Pro.......so you'll forget about rooting with the EverRoot option........................beware of the wipes with 4.0.4 tho, that crap is nasty.
First : Im sorry this maybe the wrong forum in which i have posted, please if necessary move to correct forum if this isnt the right forum.
I have a S Duos and im new to andriod and everything but i did root it and rom it and everything. For some reason i see major battery drainage, so i want the STOCK ROM for my phone. Okay so i hopped onto SAM Mobile downloaded my latest firmware with the appropriate country ( eygpt ) and used Odin to flash it.
Stock rom 100% ... but my problem is the Kernel
it still says OpenKyle 3.08 and i dont want a custom kernel i want the pure over all stock experience.
now i know theres a million threads on this, but the problem is it tells me to stock flash my latest firmware but its just not changing the kernel
I am new to this andriod world and i need help. Thank you very much
Hello everyone, i know i am really late in the game here by playing with this phone but my friend has one and wants me to fix it up for him. it is completely stock running android 2.3.6. I can't seem to make heads or tails of how to stick a recovery on this thing and flash a rom. can anyone point me in the right direction as how to do this? thanks mates
First thing you need to know is that the recovery is compiled into the kernel, so you don't flash a recovery separately, you just flash a custom kernel and you will have a custom recovery after.
The latest stock firmware for this phone is 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, but since the phone is still on the original 2.3.6 firmware, you could flash the old Siyah kernel and use it's recovery to flash custom firmware.
You need to root the phone first. You can root this phone with Framaroot using the Aragorn exploit. Then go to this post and download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA without ticking Re-Partitioning.
Stable custom Touchwiz based firmware available in the development forum are SHOstock or Cooked. Both are based on 4.1.2, and neither are currently supported but both are stable.
If you want something more recent, there are various aosp based firmwares available in the development forum. You may not be able to flash some of them directly from that old recovery in Siyah 2.6.14, but if you need help, you'll have to try to get some help in their threads, because I don't use those.
Happy flashing, and if you need help, ask.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the benefit of having the recovery compiled into the kernel. Do you think it is better than having them separately, and if so, can you explain why?

You'd have to ask the Samsung engineers why they did that. Since the more common standard is to have the recovery in it's own separate partition, it suggests that is the better solution, I would think.
Having been on a device for a while that has a separate partition for recovery (N5), it's a feature that is extremely comforting in that it is virtually impossible to brick those types of devices.
The way I see it is that having the kernel on the same partition as the recovery is beneficial as more kernels can be built, instead of it being ignored.
