recovery boorloop Galaxy 4.0 - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

After flashing a rom and kernel I got myself into a recovery boot loop. I need help on fixing this. I tried to go back to stock rom found on on the form coming from Icy Fusion ROM and Terrasilent kernel. This put me in this loop flashing through Odin. I also tried flashing with my PIT file and even another from the form to repartition no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction. If I can not go back to stock at least help me make it usable again
Thanks

[Q] i flashed wrong kernel plz help me

ok i flashed team whisky 2.2.1 4g based rom to vibrant later i flashed stock 2.2 kernel on team whisky site. I know it must have been a wrong kernel for the rom. But can any plz tell me the easiest way to get my phone back running it only goes to the boot samsung screen i cant get into clockwork but downloading screen. Please and thx plz provide links
You need to use put your phone into download mode, use Odin to flash .
update
the rom i had was bionix frost 2.2.1 is there some kind of way to just reflash a rom to get my phone back running
You can PM tomorrow, if you don’t have the files.
Yes,you need a tar file and using Odin
Your phone is soft brick! You can still flash but only by using Odin. Do you know how to use Odin
If you can still get in to CWM and you left the ROM on your internal SD, just re-flash. Everything should work after that. That would be the easiest way, followed by ODIN.
As long as you have a complete ROM on your internal SD card you should be able to get into recovery (hopefully) via the hardware buttons and re-flash that ROM with its correct kernel.
Otherwise you are stuck having to go with odin/heimdall and flashing it that way.
Goodluck.
how exactly do i use odin i downloaded it but what do i have to do first i still have a copy of the bionix rom on sd
Use the Vibrant Toolbox here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 It's the easiest way to go back to stock. Also, anytime you have a problem like this it's best to just Odin back. Reflashing through clockwork can leave alot of bugs.
here is some videos that you can watch

[Q] Help, flashed wrong kernel on SGS2

So this is the case, I had a rooted sgs2 running on MIUI 2.3.16 and brightly decided to flash the kernel into siyah.
Obviously that didnt work out too well, and I ended up in a situation where the phone stucks at startup showing the sgs2 logo, and wont budge from there.
I have no clue what was the kernels "version". Is there anything that can be done?
Allready tried to search the forums, but didnt find a similar situation.
Boot into recovery & do a factory reset. If that doesn't work, reflash Miui which will reinstate the Miui kernel.
If you can't get into recovery, reflash stock firmware in Odin, CFRoot the phone, then reflash Miui.
I'm assuming you should still be able to enter cwm/recovery... just go in to that and re-flash miui

You should find out what kernel it MIUI used, else you can end up
try very many different hehe.
But no panic, I guess you have Odin on youre pc?
Just start phones downloadmode by volume down-home, poweron.
Connect to usb cable, fire up Odin, and flash kernel (PDA in Odin)
Good luck man
Cant get to recovery, Only thing that i can do is to use Odin, how do i get back to stock kernel, or, even better, anyone know the MIUI kernel?
Flash stock in Odin as I said, then CFRoot it. If you've got a Nandroid (CWM) backup, you should then be able to restore that rather than flash Miui. If not, flash Miui in CWM. Stock roms/instructions for flashing same can be found here, if links don't work search for stock firmware on Samfirmware.com.
What Siyah kernelndid you flash? I flashed beta6 over the latest MIUI and it just went to a black screen.
Just hold down the power button with vol up + home. It'll eventually boot to recovery where you can flash MIUI again.

odin -> bootloader flash -> wait for logo battery out -> odin flash stock -> odin cf root -> recovery flash ur miui and kernel again
Issue solved!
Thankyou for you all for your quick replies and help!
Good How did you fix it ?
managed to get to cwm recovery after flashing one of the cf-root kernels, and from there on, just flashed miui all over again...
Ahhh OK. Cool. Glad you got it sorted

Did you wipe your data?
yes. i think something got messed up with the .pit file because i did not get the error screen until i flashed the .pit
By flashing the pit you wiped out every partition on your device except efs. Why did you flash one? You NEVER need a pit unless reverting from mtd or if you screwed up your partitions.

Follow the instructions in this thread.

The US 4.0 stock rom should be posted there in the next few days. I used the instructions to recover my US 4.0 but I had to use a custom ROM that is buggy. I'm just waiting on the stock ROM.
what rom did you use? did you use odin or heimdall?
Wait for a stock US 4.0 ROM to be released.
I used heimdall and loaded the Klassic ROM. But for the partitions PARAM, CACHE and DBDATA I used the files in the international stock ROM from from zaclimon. I would not recommend mixing them like that. I just did it to practice for when we get a stock ROM for the US 4.0. Currently Android boots but the home button does not work (US version has a touch button instead of a physical button for home) and the settings process crashes on startup.

unflashable P7500!!!! can't flash any custom rom.

help me out guys, i can't flash any custom rom.all i can get to is, the first boot, that says Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1, i don't even pass into the boot animation, help me out, all i can flash is stock rom and via odin, help me out guys,
Hmmm. Do you wipe data/cache/dalvik after flashing?
i do wipe everything BEFORE flashing, but i did tried to wipe cache/dalvik after flash, i did everything, i waited for 30mins for it to boot, i also flashed a rom that worked for me, but it still goes stuck on galaxy logo, all i can do is a nandroid backup and flash a stock rom via odin. help me out guys, don't know what to do with it.

You mean that it used to work and now it doesn't?
let me elaborate it, so everything was working, i can switch to different roms, i'm actually on Toldo's Jellybean version 6, so what i did was update to the latest version to version 7, and that is where this started, all i get from it is on galaxy tab logo, so what i did was go back to stock and tried to reflash it again, ( i did install cwm and root, of course ) and it still persist, so i did was flash a rom that i know is working for me, tried 2 roms that used to work for me but no luck, what happen to my tab? did version 7 of jellybean rom have to do with it? i did a normal wipe. and i know what i did with it, so what happen?
and now kies don't recognize my phone for update, what happen to my tab??????????
I really don't know... Did you ask in the rom's forum? Listen, try to use a pit file with odin and start over!
http://www.mediafire.com/?7obe8a5ne0tgc4p
can you please give an instruction? what do i do with it? re-flash my stock rom and this pit??

Tab in download mode, just like you flash a rom. But use only the pit file and put it in the pit section in odin! After the flashin is complete, then put the tab in download mode again and flash the rom!!
if i may ask? what do the .pit file do?
and should i wipe it before installing the stock rom?
btw, thanks for shedding some light, if this does not work, well gonna stick with ics stock rom

pit repartitions the tab. Flash it, then close odin, then fire it up again and then flash stock ics.
oh my................ dude, i had a heart attack on this one, i did was wipe the tab, then do pit file, and then tab restarts back to download mode, then flash stock rom, then it like hang on the samsung logo after the boot animation, so i did was reflash rom and it magically says pass. is that okay??
Well, if it finally boots up, yes!
well i thought that will solve the problem, but i can't still flash any custom roms, so anyone have an idea???????????????????????
Did you tell your story to toldo? Maybe he can help!
i can't actually post on the thread, because of i'm a new member, but i pm'd him, he told me to go back to stock and just reflash v7, i did that just now after the repartion of .pit file. but no luck, oh my, i'm running out of patience here, saw a thread about unflashable gs2, but don't know where to find the bootloaders, kernel, phone and csc for the tab, or that's in the tar file already on stock rom?
They are indeed in the stock.tar
is there anyway i can put my tab into a full stock?? i mean back on state where i like first bought it? maybe that's the only way to make it work? if now, well i need to face the stock roms.
Well maybe flash a honeycomb rom from www.sammobile.com??
i did that too, no luck, ohhh. am i the only who encountered this?

Its does the same thing on TWP i tried that this morning but thanks for the advice
Odin back to stock and start over from scratch with a fresh download of the recovery you want to use, preferably a .tar that you can throw into Odin after you are on stock.

Thanks for the advice but how do you find the stock ROM and the stock recovery ?
Stock recovery is within the stock Rom .tar
Have a look in a sticky (threads always at the top) in the general or dev section or maybe even the top of this one.
