Hello everyone. I bricked my US Galaxy Player 4.0 after trying to install a certain ROM for it.
i visited this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850
for the stock rom and tried to flash the PIT file along with a ROM's PDA file. All i keep getting when i try to reboot it is the Samsung logo followed by the image i'm going to attach to this.
I can get into download mode and everything, i think it's just a matter of having the right files to flash, etc. Can anyone help me out?

follow the proper instructions in that link with the proper files for the US version, when using those files to recover you use Heimdall not ODIN, also make you have a good backup of your EFS.tar or you'll be like me after screwing around with the CM7 beta's and not have a lockscreen or powermenu.
Simple flashing the PIT and the "stock" .tar via Odin will NOT work, I assume your trying to use Odin because you say "with a ROM's PDA file" and there is no PDA box if you are doing what that link says to do for the US version.
That's exactly how I bricked my Galaxy Player 4. Except that I can't enter recovery or download mode. I have to enter download mode with Adam's Resurrector. I used Heimdall with those files and I keep getting error: failed to receive response. So I have no way to revive my player.

yea, he should do it at first after flashing right kernel and rom, factory reset, format cache, clean dalvik and fix permissions, if not through CWM, just manualy (adb console)
Mine is hard bricked, but I can still get into download mode with the resurrector. But when I try to flash the correct rom and kernel, I get the following error in Heimdall: "kernel upload failed", anyone how to fix this?
Thats just soft bricking ur fine go back to stock start over find the stock tar files

Very strange problem with Galaxy Tab 10.1, was behaving very strangely so I figured I would root and install custom rom for better performance.
Problem is that CWM will not install (read all of the tutorials, have rooted Samsung phone / Xoom tablet with no issue). Odin flashes yellow but when I go back to recovery mode it is still the standard one.
I figured I would do a hard factory reset (tried both via settings and stock recovery) which doesnt reset anything? Upon reboot after reset tablet is just how it was before? I have tried deleting accounts and upon reboot they are back? Its like its write protected or something, anyone know what I can try?
Note if I copy a file onto the internal memory (custom rom), upon reboot it disappears....
Its because you hav rooted nd installed cwm...therefore factory reset via honeycomb does not format the tablet....use the below link (step by step method) to restore ur tab to factory condition and den try to flash cwm first using odin pda mode and den root using cwm....
http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5
Go down in the above page to "re-stocking yer system" nd use the guide...
After flashing a stock frmware with odin using the above method...ur tab might want a passwrd etc...after booting up...Turn the tab off...nd den boot into the recovery...den wipe system..cache etc....nd reboot...this should solve your problem....
Thank you I will try. If I have flashed CWM why cant I boot into it?
Followed the instructions and it fails to write:
Bct_sync_odin: Error to NvBvBctUpdate![err:0x140005]

In which step did you face this problem...??
---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------
Did u make it sure to re partition using the pit file..?? http://www.mediafire.com/?kkq5k6q1joblq98
Also make sure dat wen u hav chosen a pit file the repartition box is checked...den select the PDA file...(the stock rom) nd click on start...after flashing completes....reboot tab into recovery nd wipe data cache etc....
First of all finish re stocking ur tab...den post if ur successful...den move on to rooting nd cwm....
Follow every step carefully...dont miss a single thing...
Here is what I get:
The tab is NOT rooted, I checked.
I cannot do a factory data reset at all, the tablet works fine but any changes I make to it go away upon reboot, someone has to know how to fix this??
Have you tried different stock ROMs or just the one? I remember flashing one of the earlier ROMs and as part of the process, it nuked the whole thing, might be worth getting one of the first ROMs from Samfirmware and see if one of those helps you out more than the one you have currently.

Which Tab r you using..?? the P7500 or the wifi only P7510...??? Make sure u'r using the correct rom...if u hav the P7500 then the rom u've used is not the correct one...also do try some other roms from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1&m=GT-P7500&r=1#regiona But u need to sign up there to download roms....Best of luck..
I have the P7510 and I have tried numerous different firmwares but it will not write ANYTHING at all, is there anything else I can try?
Please forgive me for asking this, but you "are" putting the tab into download mode when you try to use Odin aren't you?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Yes I have it in download mode.
For reference, if I go to stock recovery and try to factory reset, it doesnt work. If I try to firmware upgrade with Kies it doesnt work. Its like the thing is stuck in its current state and nothing can change it.
It boots up, it works, it just always boots to the same state (doesnt recognize any apps or changes made prior to reboot).
Will it do any good to drain the battery (is there any memory that will clear if I leave the battery dead for a few hours / days)??
when you flashed CWM through ODIN, did you extract the .tar file first, or did you try and flash it as an .md5?
Have tried both .tar and .tar.md5, same result.
Realize that my using Odin did not cause the issue, the issue existed prior to me ever messing with it, I was going to root and flash a custom rom in the hopes of solving the issue.
I had also faced problems like dese...but everytime restocking via odin was successful....dont know why odin is not not able to flash the firmware in ur specific case...
Is there by any chance an app in the app drawer named "Factory Test" or "Factory Mode"?
pbiancardi, were you able to install a custom recovery? I am experiencing the exact same problems as you.
The device is not able to ODIN properly and any files uploaded to the root of the device folder is erased after a reboot.
Bump bump.
this is a perplexing issue. None of the brilliant xda minds can figure this one out?
Same problem
hello, im having the same problem and i tried everything i could find on the web flashing new roms, wiping data from system and recovery and when it boots it restores everything.
but mine also freezes if i dont turn off wifi when it boots up
have you solved this problem please?

Hey friend,
I doubt that the pit file you are having is for p7500 model and the rom you are installing is for p7510 model. I think that mismatch is causing problem.
When I looked at the screenshot I found p4 at the end of pit file's name. And all the p4 files I have seen so far, are for p7500(3g) model.
So I suggest you to download any stock rom from sammobile.com and then just select file in PDA tab in Odin. Don't touch any other thing in Odin and repartition should be unchecked by default. Now just flash it this way with tab in downloading mode and this should install stock rom successfully.
Now if u have rooted before and installed cwm recovery before then flash stock recovery by Odin with same method without touching other things.
After that when ur tab boots up normally go to settings and then factory reset. This should erase everything. Even your user data.
Hello,
I've managed to soft brick my Samsung Galaxy 4.0 [YP-G1 USA], and after looking through several threads I have determined that I have managed to butcher my partitions on my device.
I have already attempted to flash Stock roms onto the device using ODIN (I have used the ODIN ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850) alongside the PIT file. However, after looking into the .TAR files, I have found that they do not contain the whole rom in order to fully re-partition my device - usually there is only a zImage and maybe a factoryfs.rfs file inside.
I can still access download mode, and when the device attempts to boot up normally, the Android Recovery Service appears. When I attempt to wipe data, formatting of both "dbdata/" and "cache/" fails, and upon reboot I am returned to the Android Recovery Service again.
I am wanting to try re-partitioning by using Heimdall 1.3.1, in hopes that this might fix my ARS boot loop issue. However, the Heimdall ROM in the above link is unavailable at this time, something to do with MediaFire download limits on corrupted/encrypted archives or something similar.
After several highly-unsuccessful searches here on XDA, I can't seem to find a stock ROM that has all the partition files within. Does anyone know where I can find a complete download of the USA YP-G1 Stock ROM that I can use with Heimdall to manually repartition my YP-G1?
I will be using the instructions provided in the above link for Heimdall flashing.
Many thanks,
Anorax|Audio

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 stuck on "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen

The few times it does, it just says "Connecting.." in Kies and won't go past that. I've looked everywhere and couldn't find anything that works. Is there anything I can do?

Hello, I had that too
Follow these steps to unbrick your device:
1. Take the battery out of the device and wait a few seconds
2. Put the battery back in the device and wait a few seconds, again
3. Boot into Download Mode -> It will say "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select...." again. Ignore that!!!
4. If you haven't done it yet, download the stock ROM (Kernel and ROM) for the 3.6 US here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741
5. Start Odin and select the tar-file from the stock ROM in the PDA section
6. Connect your Player, wait until the device is recognized...
7. Flash!
8. Disconnect it, and reboot
If this solved your problem -> Put "[SOLVED]" in your title

In your situation, If you're loading attns stock ROM, you need to load his kernel as well.

Hi there,
I may have softbricked my i9300 S3 after failing to flash MIUI. I had the phone rooted already with custom recovery installed.
CWM 6.0.1.2. A friend recommended the recovery after he successfully installed it on his S3. I was running Android 4.1.2
so no Knox problems hopefully. I downloaded the latest MIUI rom for my phone directly from the official website and used the CWM
to try and flash it. My phone was already rooted at that stage and I had wiped cache and reset the phone prior to the flash attempt.
Unfortunately it gave me a Status 7 error. Even after I unrooted and rerooted my phone the error still remained. I read somewhere else
that this happens sometimes and so I edited the Updater-Script as suggested elsewhere and deleted the section pertaining to the
Verification process. I double checked I had the right ROM too and proceeded to wipe and flash again. It seemed to take and the phone
restarted and I was met with the MIUI language selection menu. However, when i tried to select English, the whole thing just froze and switched
off and restarted itself. But this time the screen went all weird and fuzzy and wouldnt boot back to MIUI interface. I tried to boot into recovery but with no luck. I have tried to reflash the recovery also with no luck. I have tried other versions of CWM alos without luck. Tried TWRP and also no luck. I have used both the 3.07 and the 1.85 version of ODIN with no luck. The flash would fail with either a PIT error or a COM port error. But I have all the necessary drivers installed. I have Kies but dont run it at the same time. The Emergency Firmware something also doesnt seem to work.
I have pictures of the various errors and such and can provide dropbox links if required
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!
Original Firmware
If I were you, I would go to Download Mode and Flash the Original Firmware from Samsung. Download it from the Sammobile Website and after you successfully installed it try it again.
Like Tkkg1994 said above download the Samsung firmware and use Odin to install it through download mode.
You were having a "Status 7" error when initially flashing miui because your CWM recovery was not the latest...download the latest cwm recovery (6.48.something not sure??) Then flash miui and hopefully you shouldn't have any problems.

Yes that's correct. Because of this I would do all things to get a normal S3 without root. That in download mode it shows Original and 0 flashs. Than I would download Philz latest Touch Recovery, clean to install a new rom, download the ROM again, maybe there is a fault, than install it again and root it later, not than.
Hope I could help
Thanks guys! I think that was the general consensus then. I'm trying to follow this guide here
http://unbrick.itcse.com/unbrick-soft-bricked-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300/
But when I download the Original 4.1.2 ROMS they dont have all the mentioned csc files nor do they have any PIT files in them either.
The only file included in the ZIP was a MD5 file which i guess is the PDA file.
Regardless, I'll give it a go. I've found some newer CWM recoveries but they seem to be IMG files instead of ZIP or MD5.
Any idea how to convert it. I'm getting the file directly from the CWM ROM MANAGER website.
Thanks for all the help again!

Extract the file inside the ZIP File. Than go to odin and on Odin3.09 select AP! Not PIT. This works!
Yes Sir Thanks but I was doing that before. When I unzip there is 2 files.
One is MD5 file and the other one is SS_DL.dll file
I loaded it in AP slot in ODIN 3.09 and ODIN 1.85
Still gives PIT Partition Error!
Is there any PIT file that I can use that wont brick my phone??

You don't brike your phone this way. I never select the SS_DL.dll file. You just need the MD5 file and do this in AP. I do some research on that but it should work
Yes thanks man. Even Samsung Official readme says that I should do it that way but I still get PIT error when I load the .tar file in the zip.
If someone can link me a working .tar file with PIT as well I would greatly appreciate it!

I did not know this before I had the problem but there is apparently an APP on the PLAY STORE called eMMC Brickbug App.
That will apparently check your eMMC status. Since I was not aware of this app beforehand I cannot say for sure if this app
does or does not work. However I previously owned and since gave away a 2013 late model Galaxy S3 which had no issues
whatsoever. From all the details that I have read, it seems that most 2012 models of the i9300 are more susceptible to this kind
of problem. If you own a 2012 model please take extra care when flashing any type of software, even if its original from Samsung!
Finally thanks to all the Posters who have attempted to help me out. I'm sure that all of your suggestions would have fixed the issue had my
phone not been hard bricked in the first place.
Hi,
I recently tried installing a new rom on my Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 with Lineage 14.1. The installing failed as there was a problem with some signature I didn't have.
I have since then tried flashing CWM recovery, multiple different stock roms via Odin, samsung kies firmware upgrade, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache yet nothing is working.
When I flash with Odin, everything flashes fine but after, when I try switching my phone on, the phone gets stuck in a bootloop. I can access recovery and download mode fine but cannot load my phone.
Please help as this is my main phone.:crying:

Hi again. After I finished flashing via Odin, the phone rebooted into the screenshot below. I didn't know where to type the code so I rebooted system and the phone returned into a bootloop. Any ideas?
Did you use the pit file u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit from the archive for Odin?
Do it again in Odin with the pit file u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
Put everything in Odin like on the screenshot!
