My galaxy player 4 wouldn't boot, stuck in download mode. So, I installed Klins kernel and EtherealROM, it seems to be stuck in a boot loop. I cleared both caches to no avail- I have no idea what to do now
to get out of download mode, hold down the power button until it restarts. Go into recovery mode, wipe data, and cache. Then flash a ROM that u know works. And see what happened to the ROM you tried to flash with. Prob redownload the ROM you wanted, and try agian.

I had to use my other computer (Kubuntu), but I got it restored to stock, then I put Klins R3 kernel on it. I then flashed IcyFusion on it- it seems to work!

Ok so my Galaxy S2 i9100 arrived today!
I began by flashing VillainRom 1.1 and then decided to give Litening Rom a try, fired up odin, selected the rom and hit start. It completed but instead of rebooting the phone has gone into an endless reboot cycle, just showing the boot screen over and over.
I pulled the battery and am reflashing now, it that doesn't work where do I go from here?
Cheers
Edit: Nope, still not booting up properly
You go to the OP of the VillainROM thread and read the words in big red letters.

So if I reflash VillainRom then enter recovery, wipe user data and THEN install Litening Rom it should work?
Or have I permanantly screwed my phone?
Edit: So I reflashed Villain and it booted up fine, I went into recovery as suggested and selected wipe user data. After that finished I held the power button down until the phone turned off, then booted into downlaod mode and flashed litening. Same problem occurred, I tried this two more times but both to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers
flash to stock KE7, then boot into recovery, select wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, boot into download mode, flash lite'ning rom, then then it should work 100%.
oh and btw, as long as you can boot into recovery/download mode, your device isn't bricked.

Worked brilliant, thanks
I had a similar problem, but I solved it by just booting into recovery mode, wiping data(/factory reset) and dalvik cache and then just flashing then ROM through "download" mode.
I did not have to flash any stock ROM prior to that. Just these two simple steps!
Hi, I have a problem with my ace. I have official stock rom 2.3.3, yesterday when phone was on charger, he began to turn off, agin and again. when I attempt to start standard recovery mode to wipe factory reset, before I did that, phone started bootloop continuosly, it can't even reach recovery menu. I tried to flash with Odin, stock rom and others, didn't work, odin show pass but when restarted, he did bootloop again. Is there any help or service? May I flash stock rom now, because of warranty?
enter recovery mode
wipe davik cache
factory reset
clear cache
and flash with Odin

I have ever experienced it too... What i did was removing my SD card and SIM card, and then wipe dalvik cache and cache via Recovery before factory resetting it and then flash the stock ROM with ODIN.
If it still wont work, then its probably because of the ROM file.. maybe its corrupt, try redownloading it.
Flash a stock ROM without root and go for the warranty. Sounds like it's f***ed

Can you go to download mode? Then flash full package stock ROM.
Try to keep holding Power+Home button, it sometimes restart before coming to Recovery mode... so just keep doing it
I've tried to flash full stock, without results.
and i started emergency dload mode (arm9) mode. what is this?
hold power + home + volume down it should go into download mode... then you can flash stock rom with odin
Done, several times with different ROM-s, didn't work. Service is only solution I guess.
I'm pretty sure I pricked my gp4. I have everything wiped on it (no rom) and when it enters recovery mode it fails to open /etc/recovery.fstab and cannot mount any partitions. When I try to enter download mode it doesn't even go to it, it'll just reboot straight back into recovery. I'm running cmw 5.0.2.7 and have terrasilent kernel. I really need help:crying:
Flash your stock ROM. It might work.

For download mode, instead of the 3 key combo, just boot and once the device is on, hold vol- and power until the device reboot, once it reboot, let go the power button but keep holding the vol- button. This should do the trick. Then you only need to flash the stock rom wich you can find in the recoverie thread in development section.

That worked great thanks! It fixed the recovery and mount issues but now when I flash a rom it says it's successful but it only boots straight into recovery.

Do a factory reset then clear cache and in advanced wipe dalvik cache.

I did that and it still doesn't boot into a rom. Should I be running a specific rom, kernel, or completely factory restore (which I don't know how to do)?
EDIT: I got it to work, needed to fully wipe everything. Thanks for the help!
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

Nope didnt mean to
Was in hybrid mode and didnt see his post
Sorry if it offended you
Here is my case.
Was on 4.4.4 SlimSaber with TWRP recovery..
So, i intended to change back to stock rom. Downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile
After that, I used ODIN 3.10 to flash the stock firmware. Everything goes smoothly. But, after the process completed, I have bootloop in the Samsung logo.
Tried removing the battery and replaced it.. still the same.
Now I cant enter the Download and Recovery mode. My PC still detects my device, ODIN still show blue sign when I plugged it in
Any advice for me to recover it?

Wipe data and cache partition in recovery. Turn off the phone and hold 3 buttons at the same time (volume up+home+power). Then wipe data and cache.
