Hi,
I have a samsung galaxy player 5 international version (YP-G70CW). I wanted to upgrade to Gingerbread, but my attempt failed.
I put it into download mode and started up odin, trying to flash this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414565
It got stuck on "Setup connection...". I now realize it was probably because I didn't shut down the kies process running in the background (which really should be included in the guides).
nyway I tried it a few times more, but then gave up and held down the power button to exit download mode. I'm now stuck in this mode only showing a "Phone ! computer" image every time I try to restart the device, and I cannot get it back into download mode. Odin recognises the device and I didn't really flash anything onto it so I would think it would still be good?
I read somewhere else that to fix it you should take out your battery and sim card for a while and try again. The Player 5 cannot easily be opened to get to the battery though, so is there another way to get out of this mode?
I've tried looking for an answer but come short. Would really appreciate some help.
Thanks

This is also download mode...
If you flash a gingerbread kernel( I think rj's is gingerbread only?), I do not think it will boot a froyo rom. I would suggest that you flash one of the INTL ROM's(or mine) along with rj's kernel.
Haha I feel stupid But great answer. Thank you!
Yea I was going to flash your ROM, but it said in your guide as the first step to flash that kernel first. Gonna try it now.

hi all, i would like to ask you for a help with my vibrant. I just purchased it and successfully made the root and unlock. I managed to do both even tho my hardware button keys does not support the recovery mode. Any holding of the buttons will not allow the phone to go to recovery mode, this is not working even with an odin. After i did the root and unlock i downloaded the rom manager, created a clockwork image and back up i tried to make the partition of my 16gb SD card using the rom manager. After this my phone restarted but after t mobile logo and galaxy s logo the phone screen stays black. Tried all thee methods to go into the recovery mode but was not able to do it. i searched this forum also but was not able to find similar case to this one. i would be very thankful for any advice.
You'll have to get T-Mo to exchange it.

thanks to this instructions i was able to use odin but this did not change the satus of my phone?????
unfortunately cant i did not buy it in the store
NEVER use rom manager to partition your SD card. Try the steps in this thread
thank you, trying to do it now
a friend of mine bricked his phone and it boot up to the "S" screen then go black after a min. i flashed it using oden and the T959UVJFD file but i got the same results when trying to boot up again. it wasn't my phone and i had already sent the guy to get a new one, but i just started flashing it with all the vibrant oden roms i could find... non of them worked. i really didnt care any more so i was just playing around with the phone and flashed a i9000 rom, of corse it didnt work but when i flashed it back with the T959UVJFD file it worked.... i dont know if it would work out for you i just wanted to share the story... good luck
thank you, unfotunatelly i am stuck with HW keys problem againm!!!!
i follow the steps from the post 4 from @Alkaloid and now from dead i am at froyo and will hang here for a while cause at least for a week dont want to flash nothing. Boy what a day, 12 hours fixing this samsung!!!
Ivuso, how did you get in to download mode? I tried everything from every single thread here that mentions how to get in to download mode..
Odin is the way to go..it saved me too

how did u manage to do that
You do not have to exchange it the same thing happened to me. You just need to use odin to flash the stock rom onto it. Its really easy. Youtube it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
if you have the hardware keys lock the only way to get to download modwe is through odin. For me worked this.
start odin, fil pit and pda
remove battery
usb in the computer
hold volume buttons
put battery in - phone is showing just the battery charging status
disconnect usb and than fast connect back
now you are able to flash froyo from the the 4th post in this thread, once finished you will be in download mode but need to reboot with adb cause hardwate "enter" button will not work
GOODLUCK
Hi there, i finally got round to trying to root my galaxy s2 having put it off for a while due to the fear of it all! I only really wanted to root it to move the games over to my sd card since they were taking up all the room on my internal memory!
Anyway now that i have done it, i have really messed up my fone. My fone will not boot anymore, it will only go into download mode. It won't go in recovery or boot at all. It goes to the galaxy s2 logo and displays a yellow sign at the bottom of the screen. I have tried numerous tutorials online to try and fix this problem. I have tried 'Phistachio's guide on this forum and i still couldn't get it to work. It just comes up 'Fail' when i try to flash everything. It flashes the kernal fine, and it also flashes the pit file fine, but the rest it just fails on.
I really need my phone up and running again through any means! If anyone has the time to help me, that would be fantastic! I just need it fixed, and it feels like i am running out of ideas on what to do next.
Im sure i was on ice cream sandwich when i tried to flash the device so i followed this tutorial on galaxys2root....com (i can't post the link)
But it after this, it never booted.
Please help!
Thanks

What's your phone Model no?
were you on Gingerbread or ICS before trying to root?
If you can get in download mode, then just flash a stock rom

Hi!
I can see that you are stuck on bootloop. There are a lot of options to get you started on fixing this.
If you can go to download mode, you can just flash a stock rom/firmware via odin..
If you can't go to download mode, you use a usb jig to get you to download mode (if you don't have a usb jig, you can borrow one near you.. the link is on my signature).. and once you get to download mode, you can flash a stock firmware/ rom..
you can get/ download stock firmwares on sammobile.com but you have to have an account there. don't worry it's free
I hope this helped
Cheers!
usb jig n flashing stock rom over pc odin the best way

Hi.
Firstly take out the fear in you n then try out anything with yr phone for wat u need.
Now find a jig which will reset yr binary count to Zero.
Find your countries latest stock rom on xda or sammobile.
Odin v 1.85
Stock rom tar file (which u get after extracting downloaded rom )
Install samsung mobile drivers on yr pc.
Put yr phone to download mode manually (vol down +centre+power)
Then open odin n don touch anything other than pda.
In pda select the md5sum tar file.
Then connect yr phone with usb cable to odin n after u find an yellow vom port u ve to start n wait for stock rom to get
Flashed n with fear don remove cable in the midfle of flash n once done it will restart n work the way it was before.

Hey friend.
Congrats! !!
Kindly spare sometime on sharing what you did to get yr phone back to work.
It might help some1 who faces same situation lik you came across.
Hello everyone!
First of: I'm not sure if this is the right section, if not move.
Second of: thanks for the help you give, hope you can help me too.
I got a problem with my S3.
I was running Cyano10 Nighty (not the last one, i just update once a week) and in the last days my phone started to reboot randomly once in a while.
Today my phone start to reboot again, but it get stucked at the SG3 logo. I coudn't turn it off so i unpluged the battery. I tryed to reboot it again and nothing heppened, still stucked at the logo.
I tryed to run into CWM and then apply a recovery but I wasn't able to go into CWM. I can only make the phone run into Download mode.
I tryed to run Odin and apply some random firmware just to see if it woud work but when i plug in my S3 in donwload mode odin couldn't see it (and the whole Pc couldn't see it too).
I tryed to install kies first to get the driver, it didn't work.
I installed the S3 Toolkit and then installed the driver from here, it didn't worked.
so i'm asking: What can i do? I don't know if the phone must be functional while trying to install the drivers. Whereas i can find another S3 and finish the driver's installation, but then will Odin work?
Any suggestion is appreciate, Thanks for the help!
EDIT: I've noticed that when i put the phone on charge on screen appear a stuck battery logo, it doesn't get green and the grey spin doesn't spin.
Also in donwload mode i read this: (not sure if this can help)
Product name:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: Custom
Does this mean 100% no warranty?

I've seen Product name being empty before... I think it was something to do with a bad flash.
And, I'm assuming you used TA... but there's probably no warranty seeing the product name is wiped and it's "custom".

What do you mean with TA?
I've flashed the CM10Nighty trought CWM, but i was using it since a long time.
The phone was correctly working and then i found it stucked on logo. No flash between the "working phase" and the "stucked on logo phase".
It was working and then stuck, but i didn't do nothing in between.

What happens when you try to boot into CWM?
Looks like you may have a corrupted NAND and need a new motherboard.
Only way to know, is if you try to flash it in Odin you'll get a PIT error.
If that's the case, then they should fix it under warranty

I can't use Odin cause when i plugin the phone (in download mode) Odin and the whole PC can't see it. I have win8, i don't know if that's a problem for Odin or something.
Is there a way to check if i have driver/odin/any working without using the phone?

hi
I need help with my new Samsung galaxy Sii GT-i9100. the phone comes with a stock android gingerbread os. I was looking to upgrade to jellybean but Samsung kies keep failing to complete this due to an unknown error. I then began looking into a supernexus rom as a friend recommended it. after a day of fiddling and searching on the internet for a way to do this. I found a different forum that someone had the same problem with the same kernel as i have. the answer was to install a cm-root kernel. After booting into download mode i installed this kernel and then my phone diden't restart. it has continued to show no other sign of life even after charing.
please help

First of all: next time use a proper title for a new thread, because this one isn't quite 'usefull'..
Now, you say your phone doesn't show a sign of life. Do you mean it wont boot? Or can you enter Download mode? If so, try to reflash the kernel, and make sure it's the right one. You could also flash official firmware via Odin, if you want to.

my phone will not enter recovery mode or download mode. it will not turn on at all.
If you've completely bricked your phone. ..
Take your Battery out of the phone and charge with external charger. ..
After that use a USB Jig(should get on ebay, isn't much expensive) to boot your phone into download mode and Flash the stock Rom using Odin...
If this doesn't work then going to the official Samsung store should be your move..
Press thanx if I helped...

Hello buddies,
I think I have a big problem. Flashing failed on my Galaxy S2 I9100. As a result I cannot turn on the phone, I cannot get to Download mode, neither recovery mode, I cannot connect via USB, it doesn't recognize any devise, I reinstalled USB drivers, I tried on different PCs, I only get the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." ONLY when I plug in the charger. When plug it off, it's gone and nothing else appears on screen whatever I try. I just don't know what to do now... I do not have an access with PC. Can somebody help me please, I'm very discouraged now. Every post will be appreciated!
That message on the screen with the phone---!---pc pic is download mode - forced download mode.
The only way you're fixing it is if you get it to successfully take an Odin flash. Find Hopper8's 'Odin won't flash thread' & try the stuff in that thread till it works. Most people in this situation are looking for an easy fix & there isn't one. It may not work the first time you try, but it might on the 10th try. Persevere.
Edit - Oh, and your phone is staying busted until you do get access to a PC.

Thank you veeeery much for this help!!!
There were 2 problems. First my battery was completely drawn and it wasn't charging it at all when plugged in the charger because all the energy was in use for that super power consuming emergency mode (the device was getting hotter than never before). Then I took the battery and charged it fully on another Galaxy S2 (hopefully I could find one). Then I was able to enter the normal download mode. Then I prepared an original ROM and I tried to install it through Odin. The second problem was my maybe faulty cable which didn't let the installation to continue from the initialization. Then I used another unbranded cable from $1.99 and it just RAN! I installed the latest official ROM and the phone works as it should. A happy end I think. There is one more thing however.. Before the new installation the camera had a little pink spot in the middle only when shooting inside. Many say that all S2 have this problem and that this is a software issue of the white balance. I tried to play with the white balance settings and when turn off the auto-balance and for example choose daylight the pink spot is not present anymore... With the new ROM the problem is still here. I was wondering whether if I change the camera itself with a new this will solve the problem...?? But who knows if it's really a soft problem...
Thanks again for the tips it helped me a lot as I'm new to this.
Regards,
Nick.
