no launcher installed - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Ok well i am a dumbass as well as a noob but i need help.
so i found 2 other threads with my problem... but they are all for phones and i have a samsung galaxy player 5.0 US version
i had both TWLauncher and Go Launcher installedbut i didnt feel like having two launchers so i backed up TWLauncher and uninstalled it leaving just Go launcher. but i had read somewhere that if you stopped TWlauncher you went back to the stock gingerbread without any samsung apps overlaying or something.
Anyways i uninstalled Go launcher as well and now i turn it off and it reboots but stays on the samsung boot logo and only boots all the way when it is plugged in into the computer. i can connect it to the computer just fine, same thing with the status bar but other than that i can't do anything else please help

Okay, okay, I just barely understood what you were saying, I was reminded again when I read the topic title.
One important thing, can you enter recovery mode? You can try flashing a new rom. Or, if you are not rooted, you may have to use this here page to completely reset your device.

haha sorry about that sir but umm no i factory reset it and im pretty sure it unrooted it ._. but thanks i shall check the link out thank you very much

Can you access your status bar, turn on your wifi, and push a launcher from the play store by clicking install via. your PC? That way, you can have a launcher as your basis.
For instance, I go to the Play Store via. my PC, click Go Launcher, sign in if needed, and click INSTALL for my specified device.

it's only for international versions i have the us version.

Factory reset won't unroot your device. Do what the other guy said. Put a rom on your SD, go into recovery (if you installed one) and flash it.

You didn't look carefully. I wouldn't have given it to you if it was for INTL only.

EDIT: My apologies, i gave you a link to the 4.0 stock recovery.
Anyways, if you can go into recovery mode, then flash a rom from there. It should do the trick.

Help! bootlooping

i was on galaxy task 10 on my p7510 tab. i wanted to flash the new version of task, so i went into cwm and formatted system. then when i went to wipe data/reset it just got stuck on formatting data.
i hard reset the tab and now when i try to flash anything it just reboots and can't get anything to work.

Do you know how to use odin? I think you might have to flash to stock again.

You gotta read instructions. No where in the instructions did it say wipe system. Now you need to read up on how to use odin to install a stock ROM. Look for the stock rom in the developmemt thread.

Np, Glad it worked out. :

Desperately need help.

This is slightly off topic, but I desperately need help.
I put ICS on my Dads Samsung Galaxy a few days ago, and left him to it after that. He decided he didn't like it and without asking me about it, decided to restore it back to GB through CWM recovery. He's now stuck on the boot screen every time he starts his phone.
I'd really appreciate some help here guys.
Thanks in advance.

Also, the reason for him wishing to restore was something to do with the fact his phone calls weren't working. He said he posted on here through this account and got no reply so decided to try and restore it.
He can make and answer calls, but he can't hear or be heard by the other person.

Edit: went back and read... Yup, you said he is stuck on the i9000 screen. You are better off asking for i9000 help in the i9000 forums...else people will assume you are talking about an i9100, and tell you to do things for the i9100, like above.

Anyway, you are either not following directions or have bad directions. As the phone reboots from Odin you are to pull the battery out.

I've never pulled battery and haven't ever had issues installing recoveries through Odin. But it wouldn't hurt trying. Out of curiosity, what exactly does it say at the top when you boot into recovery?
Edit: just remembered that if you upgraded to ICS through via OTA, the system reverts back to stock recovery due to code that is imbedded in the ota version of the update. But this code does not exist in the update provided through Kies (what i used). This explains my not needing to do a battery pull during reboot.

As I stated "I just remembered". Confirming your post. So nothing new learned for me lol. It's why I explained why a battery pull may be necessary IF the update was through OTA. If he went through kies, its due to some other reasons. Always best not to make assumptions that's why I asked the questions I did.

You have stock recovery, you need to Flash a custom one like clockworkmod to be able to take nandroid backups and flash roms.
If you are on cwm, then just choose the install zip from sd card option and browse for your zip..

if you boot your device into recovery mode (power + volume up), does it say CWM recovery 5.x.x.x?
if it does, then you have a custom kernel.
if not, flash a custom kernel. use rj's kernel if you have a physical home button or entropy's kernel if you have a capacitative home button.

To flash any of these roms, just copy the appropriate zip to your internal storage and reboot into recovery.
Then:
1. Wipe Data/Factory reset
2. Wipe Cache

So, my phone is very crapped out. I rooted it and started to flash roms and kernels like crazy. Now, is very slow, it overheats and battery drains really fast. Id like to go back, to have my phone like new.
I already tried to do this with my tablet, but i got some serious troubles. So, can someone help me, step by step, how to get stock rom/kernel and all that stuff? With all samsuns' things working properly, like OTA updates and stuff. Any info needed just ask!
Sorry for bad english :S Thanks!

get ODIN, install drivers on pc (install kies), go to sammobile website (google it) and download the firmware for your phone/carrier/country
enter in recovery mode, wipe data, format system, preload and emmc (will format your internal sdcard)
enter in download mode, endt all task linked to kies programs, plug your phone to the pc
open ODIN, u should see a yellow box saying COM: some number (number of your usb port), if so your good to go
click PDA and select the donwload file (dont forget to unzip it until you get a TAR file), click START
wait and if there isnt any error in the process your phone should reboot to stock, if its stuck jsut enter in recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset and it will boot
Hope this helped, any question ask and for download links too
dont forget to hit thanks

Choose any american firmware but make sure its for yours.
The true is that u can install any firmware from any carrier, it just needs to be for your phone

Probably follow the advice from the second post. You could've easily looked up the steps that are given to you if you would've bothered to search a bit.

Im saying to use a US rom cuz of the CSC... But yeah
Im using the latest UK vodafone rom on mine and im from portugal not UK
I have data, H+ with great speeds and my phone is buttery smooth
Use an unbranded rom, LSD is the best one, and it will work for sure!
