I recently got a galaxy player 5 international with froyo. I rooted it with no problems, but when I tried to flash a kernel with cwm recovery it would get stuck in a boot loop unless i went into the cwm recovery mode. I noticed that the kernel I used, rumirand's r14, was based off of GB and thought that might be my problem. I tried updating my firmware to GB using WT Ho's custom rom, and now it just hangs on the samsung logo, but I can still get into cwm. I made sure to wipe both caches and wipe data before installing the rom. Is this fixable or have I turned it into an expensive paperweight?
Did you try a factory reset?
I am not expert but i tried the same with R14 kernel and bricked but done the same with R13 and it worked .

Now or before installing the rom? I did a factory reset before installing, but I haven't done one since.

I just flashed the R13 kernel, but I'm still in the same situation.
Instead of flashing a new kernel there should be factory reset option on the first set you have or in "mounts and storage"
I had this problem once and I managed to solve it flashing a full rom (like 2.3.5 rooted and with rj kernel). It seems some users are having problems when flashing only the kernel. After you solve the problem, flash back group rom.
I just tried the rom+kernel. It said it was successful but it must not have been because it was hanging on boot again, and now it won't respond to the power button. If I plug it in to the computer it gets an image of a battery turns off and repeats.

Can you go back to CWM after flashing rom+kernel? If yes, usually it is a matter of wiping the data and Dalvik cache. Which ROM+Kernel did you flashed?

No, I'm not able to get a response from the power button.
I used the ROM + kernel you posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446774

As the thread title states...I was on 7.1 and downloaded/updated it to 7.2 Now the phone doesn't boot up and all I get is the Kernel Panic Upload Mode.
Anyway I can fix this? And if so, is there a way of doing it without completely formatting my phone and losing all my apps?
Oh and if it makes any difference I had to install that Siyah Kernel or whatever it was called to get out of the bootloop issue that I had with CM7.1. I'm thinking that that may be causing the problem....? But then again what do I know
wipe cache only.

How? I've been trying [Power+Volume Up+Home] and it hasn't been doing anything. Can I do it through download mode somehow?
Had this problem when i flashed Lite'ning rom. Had to go into download and flash stock with odin. Took me a few tries to actually get the rom to work. As far as I know, that'd be your only option, seeing as recovery doesn't work for you.
take a deep breath and read, there is a very small chance of bricking your phone just so you know. Flash back original with Odin and start everything again
thanks for the replies...looks like i'm gonna flash the stock firmware back and see what i can do about getting to CM7.2 to work. hopefully flashing stock firmware is enough. I can't imagine how this would completely brick my phone and render it unusable.
As an aside...wtf is the point of this "recovery mode" when the thing doesn't even work half the time?
Anywho...downloading the stock .exe file now from here: http://devsrom4android.blogspot.ca/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmwares-bell-canada.html[/url
Ok so I flashed the stock rom and now I'm in Android system recovery: Should I just reboot system now or do I wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition??

If you flashed stock, you should be fine just rebooting.
Its stuck on the boot screen. I tried just rebooting, then wiping/factory reset, then both wipes...reinstalled stock a few times and nothing worked each time. I'm suck on the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 screen
:-\...when I go into recovery, I get a ton of red messages/errors
I'm gonna try somethig other than stock firmware see if that helps.
edit Ok so I rooted the phone and it got past the first boot screen and now appears to be stuck on the "animated S" boot screen...progress!!

Ok everything back to somewhat normal. Stock ROM didn't work but 2.3.6 did, so I'm on that. Now do I wanna go back to CM is the question...
Either way, thanks again for all the replies and helping me out with this. Greatly appreciated!
Hello,
I was trying to do a factory reset on my S2, and I noticed it doesn't delete my other files (Music, Photos, Etc.) but it does reset my apps installed. Because I want to totally erase my files, I went to recovery mode and did a wipe, and I think I may have wiped the data, system, dalvic, etc on the process. And now my phone wont boot up. It is stuck at the Siyah logo (Because I flashed siyah on it before and it was a success). After this, I tried to flash siyah again into my device and its still stuck. I dont know what to do anymore, I also tried factory resetting using recovery mode. I have flashed other kernels but it still doesn't work. BTW I am using a jelly bean device

If you've formatted system as you say you will need to flash a rom, I'm running the latest neatrom lite, I'm confused by your post its 4am here

Hello sir, sorry if I disturbed your sleep XD no I did not flash a ROM. I just flashed a kernel using ODIN. Should I flash a ROM?
If I flash a new ROM, say the latest Snapdragon for S2 will the kernel be included in the package? I still cant pass the logo screen even though I have flashed different kernels

Thanks Sir Slim, I will try to flash the Snapdragon ROM as soon as after I finish downloading it. Because I believe I have cleared out the operating system and other important data on my device, that's why I need a new ROM.
Hi mate,
Do you run a stock ROM on your phone like you didnt flash any custom ROM on it....
Did you check if the SIYAH kernel you flashed on your device has STOCK ROM support, cause if the siya kernel you flashed has no support for stock rom it will just stay on the siyah logo the whole day until it drains out your battery.....
if you want to go to this website : http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ and dowload the v8.xxx those got stock rom support..... then do a wipe data factory reset....
if your phone booted up, and want to you wipe the phone completely, go to settings and do a factory reset there, your phone will prompt you if you want to wipe the memory card too.... put a check on it then follow the steps okay....

Thank you sir! You are right that I did not have a custom ROM when I installed the Siyah kernel. Maybe that's the reason I was stuck

Hi my phone is behaving as though it is bricked but its never been flashed until now. the phone was working fine all of a sudden the phone wont boot up in normal mode but will boot in download mode and recovery.
if i do a battery pull and the power on phone it boots straight to recovery. I have tried flashing two different stock roms and also installed siyah kernel and a custom rom but same issue when trying to boot up with a reboot in recovery the screen stays black and the computer recognises it a Sec S5PC210 Test B/D
Phone boots okay in recovery and download just not normal mode
Edit when i put siyah kernel and add second rom it starts booting but then the rom is in bootloops ????
Are u flashing roms through odin? If so try flashing it via cwm recovery. Before u do that try wiping cache, Dalvik cache and then Flash rom.

when flashing through cmw it boots rom bot rebooting the phone it crashes and with odin phone jus boots into recovery
I think you flashed siyah kernel with non stock rom. Siyah works only with stock based ROMs. Were you in Stock rom and kernel when your phone acted strangely?

at moment i jus managed to get wanam lite on it and it boots up and acts fine when on but sometimes phones turns off when screens off i have to do a battery pull and power back on it boots back up. when the phones on everything works fine which is why i dont think its hardware related
still dont understand why it wont boot up properly even with full clean odin flash, i tried using oding and nand erase all but odin just froze on erase and didnt go further so not sure what prob is
I don't know bud. Even when your phone was never flashed it acted strange. Since it works now, u may try wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, system, battery stats and Flash new rom via cwm recovery. And make sure u flash compatible kernel too.

this is soooo wierd . i tried to flash kernel on the rom but went back to square 1. so flashed with odin and flashed siyah kernel and added second rom. phone rebooted ok but stuck in bootloops so this time i decided to do a full wipe and install wanam lite without updating kernel and modem. This has worked and now phone is fully working tested it for 12 hours no random reboots phone boots up normally ok.
So why doesnt it work if its flashed with stock from odin. iv have had many android phones so kinda know what am doin but the issue with this S2 is baffling. not gna flash this now as at moment its working perfect

Hi, i was charging my i9100 via USB. Tried to turn on the screen and the phone reboots.
Now, i am in bootloop. Can't access recovery mode. But can into download mode.
So i flashed different ROMs via ODIN and always bootloop. Tried with the last stock ROM and a branded ROM, and also flashed dorimanx kernel.
Never boots, it only changes the animation on the start, but still in bootloop.
Any ideas?
I can go into recovery mode now, but still cant boot any ROM. Help!

Go to recovery . Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache . And then flash the rom from your sd card.
Good luck :thumbup:

First do multiple cache+dalvik cache clear and reboot to see if it helps else
Do a full wipe(data+cache+dalvik cache) and then proceed to flash a rom
Gud luck mate

Boot into stock recovery Volume up + Home+ Power then factory reset wipe cache and reboot do this after every flash as standard to stop bootloops.
i tryed everything is it possible that it is a hardware problem? should i keep trying?
As the above senior member mentioned.
You could try it.
You can also re-flash the latest stock OS. You can download it from sammobile or you can plug in your device in computer and update or re-flash the OS via KIES.
