Hello all,
I could not find a solution to my question anywhere. I tried searching, and no luck. I'm hoping one of you really smart devs can help me figure this out.
Ok here goes
1. I was trying to root my mp3 player for a while, a Galaxy Player 3.6 US version (capacitive button)
2. Using the steps at this guide, and the rom from this guide
3. Everything was working perfectly until i tried starting up after i had finished with Odin. As it booted up, I saw that it had a discolored and messed up screen, as in everything was yellow and garbled
4. When i finally got past it having a black screen after that, I saw that it was way screwed up. The screen resolution was way too large, and I couldn't do anything
5. When i tried to re flash the phone to the original stock rom, I tried going into download mode and Odin did not recognize the device, and neither did windows. When I turn it on, and let it boot into the screwed up resolution, It works to a certain extent, as i can open ADB, the drivers working. When i tried using adb push sysbkup (my backup dir from before the root) /sdcard/system (the system directory), nothing happened.
6. This mp3 player is what I need everyday, so I really need help fixing it. Just for the record, Odin does not see the device when it is in download mode, so I cannot re flash it to the original stock rom D:
Thanks for any help, appreciate it
The player actually starts up, but I cannot log in, and It won't show the entire number pad. Adb only recognizes the device when it is actually turned on and booted up into android.
If anyone could help, It's greatly appreciated

I think if you can enter in download mode you flash the 3.6 US rom from my topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741
Rom is a Linux Kernel and Android system : The kernel must be compiled for every device because he have driver and some feature for this unique device. The Android system can run can run with another device like freexperia rom for sony. 3.6, 4.0, 4.2, 5.0 device are different.

I can enter download mode, That isn't the problem. The problem is that i can't connect it to my computer , my computer won't recognize my mp3
Also, I have tried new drivers, but Odin only detects it while it's actually on (android)
Edit:
Windows update is so useful! It downloaded the CORRECT drivers, so now im able to reflash to the stock rom. Any ideas of how to root it correctly? I don't want to screw it up again
I reflashed the stock rom, and now it STILL doesn't work???
It is still having that discolored startup and the resolution problem

This is a really weird problem, because when i go into download mode, it still says that im running the official samsung rom, so I'm wondering if it even flashed correctly?
Now it says custom, even when i download the stock rom? Is there something wrong? I do NOT want to root it if i can't use my mp3, and the main problem of using it after trying to root is that the screen res changes, and I'm only able to see the top half of the screen

Can you provide me with an actual stock rom from anywhere? I can't find one, they are all rooted and I need a regular, stock, unrooted rom :S
I tried unrooting with a rom i thought was "stock" but it still says custom rom in download mode, and I haven't seen anything except once i tried to flash and it gave me a yellow triangle. The system boots up into the screwed up verson,
I also cannot clear my caches as recovery mode won't let me select anything because the home button doesn't work, and neither does the screen or anything for that matter. The screen does not register touches
Ok i tried something new and just flashed the stock INT version
The system starts up in the correct resolution but it doesn't register touches still
Ok, so I managed to get the correct rom installed, everything looks normal except for one thing. The touchscreen does not work. Does anyone have ANY idea how to fix this?

What you want to do is start clean by deleting the drivers for the gplayer 3.6 and reinstalling them, then plug in your player and make sure Odin can detect it, then flash the appropriate ROM. this whole thing could have been from a bad cable or driver, make sure you have the USA ROM because the international does not have the same kernel.

Actually he has been posting in many of the 3.6 threads. His problem was caused by flashing 4.2 ROM to his 3.6 device, which seems to have overwritten more than just his kernel and system. He always seems to leave that part out In hopes that someone actually can fix his problem without understanding it

Hi,
I flashed the new Build of CM9, i thought it was a normal ROM that you would flash like a another ROM, but then someone told me that i had to flash something called Gapps + fix, but since i can't access to market, or paste files to my phone i can't do so much.
I want to go back to my old rom (checkrom), but i didn't do any backup and i don't have the rom in my phone (i removed it). Please how can i solve this problem?
thanks
Never tried CM9, but if you haven't backed up and "removed" your previous ROM, you've lost all your data/settings.
Factory reset and clean install of checkrom seems to be your only option - please correct me if I'm wrong, CM9 people.
Advice - Never ever ever ever flash a new ROM without a backup - asking for trouble.
what happens when you put your phone in download mode and connect it to your pc with odin?

Please understand. When you're installing CM9, you cant access your phones memory, because you'll need a program from market, or you need to put a apk in your phone. But since i forgott to install Gapps together with this rom, now i don't have market, and i can't access my memory = This mean, i can't install my new rom.
So i need to know if there's another way to fix the mtp problem or what's called so i can put files to my phone.
thanks

I havn't tried that yet, but that should work. Do you mean i should install stock ROM from there, and then root phone again?
there is something called SDK, its for debugging and you can push apps on your phone with this!
Not sure how it works though, you should check out some guides first
You should still be able to boot into download mode and use Odin to flash a stock ROM.
Put your SGII into download mode by pressing the volume down button, the home button and the power button at once.

Answer - With difficulty becauseyou didn't do a backup
You didn't mention the mtp problem at all in your original post.
Doesn't matter which ROM you install, you should always do a backup, and I'm sure you know that..??
As said, if you don't do a backup, you're asking for problems. You didn't backup, you've got problems. Live and learn.
Lykke til.
This really is not that complicated, ..
Download the app "Android Commander" ... google it ...
Install it ...
Make sure debugging is on, on your phone ...
Run android commander , you now have a windows file manager that you can use to dump files to , or even double click to install apps to your phone ....
you cant just go back to checkrom from cm9.
you have to flash a stock rom via odin and root it again or flash prerooted via odin. then you can install new rom zips with cwm.
as far as i know you cant even use a normal backup when cyanogen is flashed. tried it on galaxy s when i started flashing, but it just doesnt work.
when going back from cyanogen you always have to flash stock with odin.

1. Flash a stock rom with Odin. 2. Start again with your flashing.
It's really basic knowlodge.
Hi,
I want to try install the new Cyanogenmod on my Tab, read a bit about it, and tried last night to get it going. many different forums and steps were tried... none worked? Thing is, I read a lot of terms and stuff, but I'm not sure what they all mean.
My route took me through Android SDK's for drivers, Samsung drivers with escape??? no clue what that was?? Nvidia drivers? Then tried to use a program called Clockworkmod? Confusing, especially since nothing seemed to actually do anything?
What is it that I need to do exactly?
What i can say is that when I boot my Tab up, there is an unlocked padlock at the bottom of the screen.
I have the latest Cyanogenmod for my Tab "p3" downloaded, as well as the Google Apps.
Cheers

You need to use Odin to flash Clockworkmod recovery onto your tablet.
Then you need to download the p4wifi (if yours is wifi) edition of CM9
Then boot clockworkmod recovery and flash CM9 and then Google Apps

Root http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-root-clockworkmod-recovery-50799/ (stop after step 12.)
CM9 Flashable Zip http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/4709/cm-9-20120720-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip
Get into recovery mode, go to install zip from SD, select the zip /\ hit yes. Reboot.
Ok, no joy,
What I seem to have:
A working fastboot, fastboot devices does list my device. And when I try flash something via Odin, my Tab says "flashing mbr to device" so my action on my pc does initiate something on the tab. yet it stops there, at the flashing mbr to device screen. It does not start the recovery img.
A working adb, adb reboot recovery does reboot my tablet, but it still does not boot into recovery. It has a android sign, with a yellow exlamation mark over it.
I've tried to flash skitzandroid, clockworkmod, and the tabrooteasy one. I just cant seem to get this thing rooted?
Is there something I'm missing?
I do have an unlocked padlock on my screen when i boot it up.

I have this old Galaxy SGH-T959, which I'd like to get on CM10.1. I started out with a phone facory reset (it's on 2.2) and then followed the instructions on the CM site: First I pushed CWMR using Heimdall, which worked ok (I can get into CWM recvovery), but after that the phone seems to be soft-bricked (hangs after the splash screen when doing a regular rebooot). No big deal I thought, since I just need to get a ROM on there. I went through some troubles with installing USB drivers (eventually, I installed Kies and the drivers that came with it made it show up properly in the device manager). Now I just wanted to push my ROM zip via adb. So "adb devices" (after adb kill-server, adb start-server) shows the phone as 'T959xxxxx recovery'. So far so good. But now when I issue a push command (or any other adb command like shell or remount), there is just a blinking cursor and nothing else happens. Any idea wha's the problem?

try a pc they are a lot easier to work with with android.
If you are on a pc then try odin... I usually understood heimdall as a mac alternative to odin or just an alternative to odin, odin is made directly by samsung so its gotta be quality stuff. vibrants do have bad ports too, i have two of them and both wont connect to the computer anymore and one doesn't even charge so try putting the rom on an external microsd card and throwing it in it then flash that through recovery, but if you are going to jelly bean usually you install cm7 first then cm10.1... not sure what guide you are using, a link would be nice, maybe a problem could be found there. theres a thread about the whole cm7 read post 2 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43706442#post43706442 haha thats me i had a similar problem
Thanks for the reply.
I am on a PC. The guide I was working off is here: [apparently as a newbie I'm not allowed to post links]
I tried ODIN to push the ROM, but ODIN accepts only tar files etc. and not the CM zip files (at least I didn't find any CM tar's). I also tried putting the ROM on the external sd card, but that was non-starter as well. CWMR would not find the external SD and any attempt to mount it failed.
Find tar versions. I'm not sure how to convert it but if you can't find one just ask and I'm sure somebody with some spare time will put one together for ya

[Q] Can boot into a "black screen" recovery and get ADB feedback but that is it.
Strange issue I have here, well it is to me at least, my fathers SGH-I777 the AT&t model boots fine and works when booted but the play store gives me the "no connection" on both wifi and hspa+ and there are a few apps that do not work and cannot be updated for android 4.3 because of the play store. All that is just a day on android and would be fixable if recovery worked. It had or possibly still has clockworkmod recovery installed on it, no idea of the version unfortunately. The first thing that came to my mind was to just update it, well, it cannot be that easy as the latest version of ROM manager does not work, it crashes on startup. So I decided to try ADB and I will get this back if it is in its black screen version of recovery mode
Code:
C:\1>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF recovery
C:\1>
and this if it is booted into android
Code:
C:\1>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
C:\1>
Kind of a side note but also the main issue, when I try to "reboot to recovery" or hold both volume rockers and the power button till to logo appears all I get is a black screen and if it is dark enough in the room you can see that the backlight is on. So I am assuming a corrupted file somewhere, I just need to get somewhere and so far after 3 hours of searching for a solution today I have not. I don't know where to splice this in so i'll do it here; I am pretty sure this is a result of my father having Cyanogenmod updater update from 10.1 to 10.2 without completely re flashing boot and installing from a "factory reset" device then recovering the data.
List of some other things I have tried:
installing the latest apk of the play store
installing the latest apk of ROM manager
not much else that I can think of at this time, but ask and I will either try it or tell you if I have and try again anyways. Not too urgent but thank you for being here xda .

Just a couple of points, which may be helpful if you are not very familiar with the SGH-I777. Recovery is built into the kernel, not in a separate partition of it's own, so you can't just install a recovery, you must install a kernel containing a recovery.
Rom manager is said to be OK when you have CM on the phone, but in your case it would probably be best to avoid it until the problem is resolved.
The solution 4-2ndtwin posted sounds correct to me. If it were my phone, I'd try that first before flashing back to stock.

Hello XDA members,
I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?

No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:
Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom? I've tried using the Philz Touch version: Motorola Atrix HD One Click Philz recovery installer and when I tried it a couple of times it said it failed to install although I'm not sure why. I came across these images the other day but how do I use the .img files on my device, as I'm not sure to proceed from here once I have them downloaded.

I was curious as why you relocked it in the first place.
Where are you getting Mokee from that doesn't have a link to their Downloads?

thanks will try this out and let you know later how it works! I download the custom rom from true android blogspot.ca (can't post links just yet, annoying).

Right on. Well, you should bookmark the thread here on XDA because that's typically where the action happens.

Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.
If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.

Okay I wasn't looking at the actual .exe sorry, I got it to work and all I installed the Philz One Touch Recovery from that program, just downloaded a different rom and all and then I select the apply update from external storage and when it gets to the verifying update package, it gave me the same error message as yesterday, Installation Aborted.
So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?

I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?

Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.

Look in the tools folder of the zip you downloaded. Download the newest Philz Touch img from the other link from earlier. Rename it to replace the one in the tools folder. Redo the recovery install. But you didn't say what version you already have.

Okay that did the trick, properly got philz recovery installed, did the install again, this time it worked, clicked reboot and now it's stuck at the Dual Core bootlogo screen

Did you do a full wipe, including wiping /system?
If you didn't, it should be under Mounts and Storage > Format /system of something of that sort.

Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.

The battery doesn't come out of my phone as you can't take the back off. I got into fast boot easily them selected recovery and nothing happened, I think my phone is screwed

Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.
Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:
fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img
If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.
