Hi, the problem is my Galaxy Player 4. is frozen on the samsung screen and when i try to go to recovery it takes me to download mode. it is rooted i used this app to try and flash its orginal rom and it stays on those screens. Any help would be most appreciated .
Are you sure you are doing the power+volume-down combo to get into recovery, bucause volume-up will get you into download mode.

No, voulme+down will get you into downloade mode, volume+up will get you into recovery.

Did you flash the stock tar and pit files?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes i did from 2 different people on 2 different computers( Home and work)
I even watched some youtube videos on how to do it so i couldnt possibly mess up the written directions
Try to flash a 2.2 voodoo kernel with odin. If the flash is successful, use three button method to get into recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
where would i get the 2.2 from and how do i use odin to do it.
I know it sounds like a stupid question but i really want to make sure i dont mess up.
Thank you very much for your help

Get into download mode and make sure odin sees your device. If it does, take one of the 2.2 odin kernel files found in that link above, and place it in the pda slot in odin. Flash and hope for the best.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
none of the links work it just keeps taking me to a blank page or the general xda forums
Sweet they work now for some reason or another..
and now instead of looping it just stays at the vibrant screen
This is my first post & thread in XDA, I'm a active user in another forum. I have an OV, which is rooted, has multiple mods, and running on a IHO ROM... So I'm not a complete noob xD
Getting to the point... I currently have a Galaxy Ace that I'm allowed to tinker with (It's a friends) and Ive already rooted it with SuperONeClick.
Now I've tried to flash CWM and I've failed miserably xD
Theres a sticky in the Galaxy Ace Development section, and I've tried a method there for flashing CWM multiple times and I cant get it to work. I've also tried flashing it via the Terminal Emulator like I did with Xionia and my OV, but that didn't work. The last thing i tried was using the stock Samsung Recovery to flash the zip but it wouldnt work, so I renamed the CWM zip to update.zip and I flashed it and it said it flashed CWM and it was successful. When I tried rebooting into Recovery it just hanged on the first Samsung logo. I battery pulled and tried the button combo to boot into Recovery mode and it just hung like before. So I tried to boot into download mode and it would say Emergency Download mode instead of the normal one. So I figured the phone was semi-bricked, but then i just did a normal reboot and it booted up into the stock ROM fine! I dont get it... it wont boot into Recovery but it will boot into the stock ROM.
Before any of you burn me, I'm sorry, I'm new to tinkering with Samsung.
Other points to mention: When Samsung Kies is opened, it just says connecting with that sync icon and just hangs there. It never connects to the phone.
I was trying to use ODIN, and i selected all the files i was going to flash and i plugged the phone in, and ODIN never budged... It didnt recognize the phone, never did anything. I WAS in debug mode...
The Kies things and ODIN stuff i mentioned was tried before and after the rooting...
SO if anyone has any idea, any suggestions on whats going on, and on how i can flash a recovery from where i am now, will be greatly appreciated.
The phone has 2.2.1, Froyo as stock.
you cant flash cwm on a 2.2 phone only 2.3 try the download mode vol down home power

Oh! That's great to know! Well then what can i do? What are my options?
And yeah, Vol Down, Home, Power starts Download mode. I already know that.
I reset the phone to see if itll boot into recovery mode, but no luck & Now, it wont boot into the stock ROM anymore /: it hangs at the Samsung logo.
It boots into Download mode fine...

directly flashing may not workkk stop... i saw somoeone who got fu*ked up with doing so...
try to get it from kies as it will have GB bootloader...
if you flash something that dont have then you may end up with ACE as paper weight
after you get something from kies to 2.3.x then you are free to flash any roms on it for ace

Oh god, what should i do? Im still downloading 2.3.5 from Sammobile. If i flash that with Odin you're saying i might make the phone a paper weight?!?! That sucks. I really need this phone to work like NOW. Im leaving my friends house in the morning, so by then, the phone needs to be working.
I was having problems with Odin. It wouldnt recognize the phone. But i think it just finally recognized it.
And after all this crap, i turned the phone on, and it booted up fine. I restarted it and it hasn't boot up since... anyone have an idea why?
Im scared i might eff up this phone.
And im kinda happy Emoboii is commenting... i saw that he's on many threads for this phone...

Thank you all for your help and suggestions.!!!!
Sooo yeah, phone works great. Faster than before. I can reboot it works how it should. I can also boot into Download Mode.
BUT... i cant boot into Recovery. I try the button combos and the Samsung logo shows, it turns black shows the same logo again and then boots up as normal. It won't boot into recovery for anything.... Pretty weird.

G. Flash Custom Recovery:
1) Push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.img to your device using "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/" command
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Login to your device over "adb shell"
5) Mount /system using "mount /dev/block/stl12 /system" command
6) Flash CWM recovery using "flash_image recoveryonly /tmp/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img" command
7) Umount /system using "umount /system" command
8) Reboot your device using "reboot recovery" command to test your new CWM recovery
9) Reboot your device
I tried that before all of this, and i couldn't get Adb to work.

Then flash a firmware with Odin you know how to root. Or better yet flash entropy512's stock plus root package.
By the way you should be able to get into recovery by holding down volume up + volume down + power button - do not let go off any buttons until you see the recovery menu - the bout splash screen will flash at least twice before recovery comes up.

you don't need to remove CWM
You only need stock rom and stock modem. If you have that go to the Samsung site and get your upgrade.
