Greetings.
I've been trying some ICS ROMs on my US 5.0 Player but I decided to just go back to GB.
I flashed what I had before, Eryigit 3.5, nothing out of the ordinary, while it was charging. Everything went well.
At one point I turned it off, while still charging.
And when I tried to turn it on again I couldn't. Instead of the Samsung logo that would normally appear, only the "waiting" android sign showed up (8 lines forming a circle), sometimes the charging battery animation, even if it is unplugged, but nothing else.
I've tried to flash stock GB ROMs on Odin, flash Entropy's kernel on Odin as well, and it boots normally when the process is finished.
I had soft bricks which I solved, but when I try to flash the stock ROM with PIT files on Odin, it wouldn't go past "Setup Connection".
Right now I can go to Download Mode but not much else.
Any help would be appreciated.
From my GNote. That's all.
I'm sure you did this, but did you flash the correct version kernel for either the us or international variants? This is the only thing that ever caused me a soft brick. Was stuck in boot loop, but was able to get into recovery.

Yeah, I used the right ROM and kernel, for the US version of the Galaxy Player 5.0.

Flash back with odin tou your stock samsung rom and then try it again!
Next thing to try, any chance you
Can verify that the drivers are okay on the computer? When I was running erigit, my computer did not recognize my device in mass storage mode (debugging off), I had to uninstall Kies and reinstall, drivers got updated... Weird.
Could the bad Odin flash be driver related?

That's just driver related try to reinstall the drivers!
I've reinstalled Samsung drivers like 10 times. Each time I had a soft brick I had to install Heimdall drivers and then reinstall the Samsung ones to use Odin, so no, I don't think it's driver related.

No recovery mode at all, just download? Have you tried a different usb cable? Had that issue with droids. After that, I'm at a loss until I do some digging.

I can get to recovery only after I flash a ROM with Odin and then I restart it with a special toggle to go to recovery. But if I turn the device off, no recovery for me, only Download Mode, so I guess something is needed up with the bootloader.
I will try a different cable tonight when I'm home. Thank you for the suggestion.
From my GNote. That's all.
Ok, seeing as recovery is pirated in, what about re rooting using super one click to unlock that bootloader (again?). Can't see how it would have re locked, but could explain the rom not being able to run or recovery not accessible. Would make sense that this could be bootloader related.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Well, I've tried everything I know.
Reflashed with Odin, and everything works perfectly up to the point I turn the device off. After that, no reboot for me.
Maybe a damaged partition, a damaged bootloader, who knows.
Tomorrow is waiting for me a trip to Best Buy; fortunately I got the extended warranty and I unrooted the device before turn it off.
Thank you for the responses I got, I really appreciate it.
Wish I could help more, but truly stumped.

Long story short is that my fascinate will not sync to the computer through usb. This usually was not a major issue for me until the phone started shutting itself off, and wouldn't power back on without being plugged in. I'm thinking hardware issue. So I need to take the phone in for a warranty exchange, but I have powerwashed on it.
Since I can't odin due to my damaged usb port, is there a cwm-flashable stock rom available that also gets rid of cwm itself?

Have you tried the following:
Different battery?
Cleaning the USB port on phone, both ends of cable and PC?
Uninstalling and re installing drivers?
I ask because I don't think you can get back to an official Verizon rom with out Odin, but I don't know for sure.
power washed is ed05 I believe, you may be able to find a stock kernel that is in a .zip file and flash with you're current recovery, reboot and allow the stock kernel to overwrite recovery but i'm not even sure if that's possible??

Yes, I've had the phone for a bit so I have a bunch of accessories.
different battery, check.
cleaned usb ports, and tried another cable
Drivers on 3 different computers (ubuntu, win xp, and win 7) too.
I haven't had a stock kernel on the phone in a long time, so that's a good idea for recovery.
I'm thinking if I can get an early build of a rom like geewiz(very close to stock) and reinstall the bloatware manually, then un root it, plus do the recovery thing, I can give it The appearance of being stock.
Or I can try to brick it and play stupid.

So just to be sure you've tried hooking up to Odin, putting the phone in download mode and see if you get"com"and a number in the box?
I ask this because I've had my PC(running vista home basic and Odin v 1.7) not see my phone but Odin would still see it and I could still flash...
I would not try to brick it and play stupid..I brought them a fully binged and bloated eb01...not even a official release, when I was having data issues...end result my modem was fried..got a new one free and returned old one with eb01 still on it and never heard a thing from Verizon
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yes I have tried hooking it up in download mode. Windows pops up with a dialog saying that the usb device connected has malfunctioned when in download mode. Never get a com port. When normally booted I can't get the sd card to mount, but it will tether via usb. I've just been using an app called software data cable to transfer files to the phone.
Also ubuntu pc with hemidall gets nothing, but I don't know if that's just from my own stupidity. I've never been able to get that working.

Just as an update, I'm downloading an old, bloated EB01 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948943) to see if I can get that stock look. It's deodexed, but i doubt that will make a difference.
Tried the update, and guess what... Not edify compatible. is there anyone out there that can package a cwm 3.0 flashable, fully bloated , fully stock rom?

Here ya go...edify and amend script support in 1 recovery!...flash this zip with current recovery...select reboot recovery in the cwm menu after it should reboot into the 3-30 fix all recovery...I believe its 2.5.1 but don't quote me, the point is it supports both scripts, then flash the fully bloated rom you have...it should work

when my phone entering usb storage mode my pc cannot show the sd card folder in the explorer..anyone can help? im on GeeWiz rom and OTB kernel
Is USB debugging selected in settings, application, development...it should be checked?..also you may have to select mount external storage or whatever it says in the pull down notification bar after you plug in to your PC to get it to recognize it.
And one last thing make sure you have the correct drivers...if you do, try uninstalling and re-installing them

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

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

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.

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.

Hi folks, earlier today I tried flashing the latest ICS firmware using Mobile Odin and after it installed I can't get the phone booted up, I get the white startup logo then the screen goes black, tried pulling the battery, no joy.
I can get into that pointless ICS recovery but no CWM anymore. I can get into download mode but nothing will detect my phone, I've tried 2 laptops and 2 desktops but it's always coming up as unknown device.
If I go into the ICS recovery the phone is detected ok but I can't flash anything from it as it comes back with some verification error.
Is there anything I can flash from the ICS recovery to get me CWM back or am I able to flash a default firmware from it?
I'm guessing the problem is my cable (it's a generic Ebay job rather than the official one) but I the replacement won't be here for a few days and I'm in dire need of using the phone, which'll teach me in future to be more careful I guess
TIA.
I presume you have Kies installed on your PC ? If you do, uninstall it. Then re-download it. Then reboot. Then reinstall it. Then reboot again. Then see if your phone & PC can talk to each other & Odin recognise the phone.
If you don't have Kies installed, install it.
Also, when you're using Odin, make doubly sure Kies or any of it's processes aren't running (check Task Manager & kill them if they are running). Tho you need the drivers that come with Kies, you don't want it running when you're using Odin.
If those things don't work, wait for your cable given you've tried a couple of different PCs.
or u can just uninstall kies and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956 instead... its driver pack without kies
works for me atleast
Try to put siyah kernel to your sd card and flash that, I think it is signed so you should be able to flash that in 3e

It's def. not a driver problem as I've tried it on machines that have never had Kies on them nor any samsung drivers, I've tried the samsung driver pack but that still won't detect anything other than "unknown device" in download mode.

Hey, instead of creating another thread, I'll just post in here.
My SGH-i777 was working fine, I downloaded the latest Update CM9 Nightlies 2012-06-09 directly from CM's download site. I was previously running CM9 Nightlies 2012-06-03.
I put the Update in the root of the internal SD memory. I started up ROManager, and selected the "Flash ROM Update" option. The Phone shut off, as normal, so it can go into Recovery Mode and Flash the Update automatically.
The phone never got into the Recovery Menu! I waited for about 5 mins, but nothing was booting up on the screen.
So I removed the battery and inserted it back in to turn it back on. It shows the Galaxy SII Splash Screen and then the screen turns off, and it just keeps flickering on and off. You cant see the flickering unless your in a dark room, in the daylight you won't notice it, because the backlight turns on for a split second and its really faint.
So I ruled out that its not that the battery has died, because before I started up ROManager the battery was full.
Anyways, can you guys help me? Thanks in advance!

You obviously read nothing before trying to flash otherwise you would have known not to use rom manager unless you're on CM9 already
Edit : okay you were already on CM9 but you still should stay away from rom manager, it's not known for being reliable

If it's not reliable, why does CM9 come with it installed on its ROMs?
And I've used it a few times before and never had a problem with it. Also like I said, if it's so unreliable, I'm sure the devs over at CM would have taken it out of their ROMs...

I was using the Siyah Kernel made for the SGH-i777. And the latest version of Rom Manager.
Edit: The thing im confused about is I didn't flash anything yet and it just stopped working. I would understand that if I flashed something and in the middle of flashing it stopped working then that's completely different.

I've always had problems trying to flash from ROM Manager. Always boot into CWM manually when flashing. If you can't get it into download mode and see it in Odin, you may be screwed. There's a another way to get into download mode...something like removing the battery, connect to PC via USB cable, then hold volume buttons down while inserting the battery...or something. I searched and couldn't find it again.

Big is right . Best to boot into cwm manually, I've had problems with using Rom manager to do it as well, the few times I've used it. Also, Im 99% sure Rom manager comes built into cm itself, as a system app for all cm releases. So i don't think they stick it in there for just our device or anything. But i could be wrong.

IDK if its a Hardware Problem or my Mother Board got fried somehow cause the screen turns on and shows "Samsung Galaxy SII" and then it just turns off. And in the daylight it looks like the phone is off, but if your in a dark room, you can see the screen's backlight flickering on and off.
Do you guys think that USB Jig will work?
Thanks guys for you help!
EDIT: BTW, I'm now stuck using a crappy WP7! It was my step-sons, LOL. It is like a watered down smart phone... I don't even think it deserves the title "Smart Phone".
Pull the battery and leave it out. Then go into download mode the usual way by holding the two volume buttons and plugging in the USB cable. The phone wil go into download mode with power supplied by the cable. If this fails, then there is definitely some serious problem, and hardware can not be ruled out as a possible cause.

Thanks!!!!! Your a life saver! I plugged it into the phone charger and held the Vol. Down Button and it was able to boot into Download Mode and the screen did not shut off like it has been on every boot up I've tried!
Right bow I'm charging it so I can plug it into my laptop and restore my phone later tonight after work.
This is my first Android and even though it kinda crapped out on me, I still love it better than the iPhone.
Thanks again!
Hello! So I've had some vibration problems and discovered that its the headphone jack slot being slightly misplaced or something that causes this. My phone is still technically under warranty as long as i can revert it all back to stock. So i've been following this thread and trying to get all to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
But I ran into a problem. My stupid computer won't detect my i777 through odin! I've installed the i777 drivers and everything! I currently have the latest version of the shoshock rom installed (ICS), but when I enter download mode, it won't detect the phone normally. All i get from my PC's hardware manager is "gadget serial"
When i start odin, its supposed to show some #'s right? Its just blank in the boxes. When i tried flashing a .tar through PDA, i got a 0 success/0 fail status.
I'm stuck. Where do i go from here? Mobile Odin won't work because i can't find the add on for the i777.
What I have done is open up kies and put my phone in download mode then went to firmware recovery and applied it. It has worked twice for me and my comp doesn't recognize my phone

I don't think that'd work because i need to clear the bootloader flash count. To do that i need to flash a .tar file and i think you can only do that in odin?
YouTube how to make a usbjig or use chain fires triangle away I think it might reset the counter. I have not tried it yet. The ones that are for sell don't work on our phones but have read that making your own jig would reset the flash counter. Just suggestions

Try using Mobile Odin, I believe it flashes tar files.

the flash count has nothing to do with odin seeing your phone. try a different usb port. if that doesnt work download samsung drivers from samsung not kies
But kies you can do a firmware recovery which will take back to stock. But it doesn't reset the counter.
