Hello there,
I was trying to flash Rj's Custom Kernel to my Glaaxy Player 5 which I had just rooted using SuperOneClick.
I went into download mode (Power+Volume-down+Back button) on my phone, opened up Odin and selected the tar file I downloaded as a PDA, Only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time were checked, nothing else was changed.
Clicked Start and the process appeared to go Successfully in Odin, when the phone was reset the Samsung Logo appeared for longer than usual, and my computer (which was still connected via USB) complained that the USB device was not recognised, then eventually the phone rebooted to the Samsung Logo and the process repeats itself ad infinitum.
The only thing I can do is get the phone back into Download Mode, and flash another rom, but I don't know what to try, can anyone please help me get my phone back to working order?
Cheers,
Blaiz0r.

Does your player have a mechanical home button because if it has a home button that is a light capacative and also if its capacitive you need entropeys kernel search on google

Hey everybody. I bought a fascinate from CL, which was soft-bricked, thinking I could fix it. Guy told me it froze updating to 2.3. It had been stock the whole time. Phone would not boot at all, no display, only four bottom buttons would light up on touch. No dl mode, recovery, or anything.
Odin somehow would still recognize the phone (comm port turns yellow) but fails during flashing of modem. I tried all stock .tar packages with atlas pit too. I tried to flash superclean with no modem, Odin said success, but phone did not do anything.
Now, I moved on to Heimdall to flash. I successfully flashed stock 2.2. When reboot command was sent, I heard the verizon startup sound, but still nothing on display. I waited a little until the phone vibrated when touchwiz force closed. Then, I locked/unlocked screen with power button and the display came back! Yay, I thought until I saw no internal storage, cannot install app, blah, blah.
Now, every time I turn off the phone, it returns to bricked state. Odin still fails, only Heimdall one click unbrick can successfully restart the phone, but again the display is off until it finishes loading and i can lock/unlock the screen.
Sooo, am I just stuck with no internal storage and cannot ever turn it off or does anyone have another suggestion? Thanks for hanging in there and reading all of this too.
So it seems that the phone powers on into dl mode, maybe? The screen is blank but Odin will see it when I plug it in the computer. This is no key combos or usb, just power button.
It also connects right back to Odin if the flash says success. The phone will reboot (I guess, no display), then Odin beeps and com port added again.
Sorry for double post, just thought that was weird.

follow the steps in section 5 of my guide in general section.
I was using your guide from the beginning. I tried both the Froyo and Gingerbread but Odin fails at the modem.bin every time.
Tried all usb ports, reinstalled drivers, rebooted computer...
The heimdall one click is the only thing that kind of works. Are there any other heimdall packages to try?
MUIE DUTZU!
Had a SGS2 I9100-G, Gingerbread 2.3.5, XXKI4.
1)Tried to flash ICS RR, rebooted, stuck at SAMSUNG LOGO + Exclamation mark;
2)Tried to flash STOCK ROM, got NAND error in Odin, PC - ! - Phone logo shows up;
3)Flashed the GINGERBREAD VERSION kernel from [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!), rebooted, now the SAMSUNG LOGO + Exclamation mark shows up again;
4)Tried to flash Lightning ROM, Odin failed after writing a while, PC - ! - Phone logo shows up again;
5)Did step 3 again;
6)Tried to flash the Recovery Package/ROM from [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!) without .PIT and without Re-Partition (steps 1-4), got NAND error;
7)Did step 3 again, JAM;
-----------------------
Now my device cannot be powered on by any combination of buttons, except when I connect it to a power source(PC, AC). After I plug the device, the SAMSUNG LOGO + Exclamation mark shows without any push of button and I cannot acces DOWNLOAD MODE anymore.
Tried evey combination possible: download mode combination before the device gets plugged in, after, long pressing, short pressing ... and nothing.
How can I fix this?
Thank you.
Later: I've made myself a jig. I'll post a photo with it later when I'll manage to get this done.
Later2: **** IT! The jig worked just fine, entered download mode a couple of times. Noticed the counter was still the same, but I didn't care as long as I had could access the download mode. Now the jig is useless ... the download mode no longer shows up. The solding is fine, but I don't see any reason for the jig to stop working. Any ideas?
MUIE DUTZU!
Bump!
I solved the problem minutes ago. Here's what happened:
1)I was getting the NAND error because the KIES service was still running, althou the processes were killed;
2)The USB cable I was using wasn't working as expected, althou the drivers were installed correctly;
3)The ROM I was trying to flash isn't compatible with 9100G, that's why I had bricked it;
4)When I was unable to access download mode, I've made myself a JIT and succeded to flash a new kernel, but suddenly it stopped working; the JIT was no longer able to enter the download mode ... because the device's battery was empty;
5)Finally I flashed a STOCK GINGERBREAD ROM through PDA and everything went good.
Thanks ... for the views.
Hope this helps someone else.
I rooted my phone successfully, tweaked a couple roms successfully as well. The last rom I tweaked was I think something to do with init.d. After I tweaked the rom, I restarted my phone and bam... that $H1T stood stuck at the boot animation loop a.k.a BRICKED.
I downloaded odin and some tars, but before that I deleted partition erased in recovery mode holding up and power button. I went to download mode using down and power button. I failed 9 times using odin, and then eventually I got the box screen to display "PASS" with a green color. I restarted the phone and it had a different model lol. However my phone still did not get back to the way its suppose to start up. I tried using new files for ODIN, and everything seemed about right until it said: Wait about 2 minutes, it was the last step I think and I was actually waiting 15 minutes, so I got anxious and unplugged it and restarted my phone and it shows a different model instead of SPH-D710 it shows GT-19100 and goes straight into recovery mode.
All I can do is scroll up and down using volume buttons but I cant hit the (ok button) which is the (power button) to attempt the action I want. I have a boost mobile samsung galaxy S2. Also Odin, Kies and my Computer does not recognize my phone anymore through usb. I tried usb samsung drivers update, and I even tried a bunch of different versions of ODIN including a different computer. My downloads folder is literally packed with a whole bunch of tool aid kits for my phone lol. OH and by the way before I used odin I did end the process of Kies in the task manager so yup. I do not know what else to do, I tried different computers I think I am pretty much PHUCKED over now. Unless someone has another solution.
I do not understand why I cant enter nothing in recovery mode all of sudden, I can only move up or down. I can only go into either recovery mode or download mode. In recovery mode it says:
Deleting Cryption Meta Data
-- Copying media files...
Successfully copied meida files.
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
Successfully updated application.
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
If it shows I9100 on the boot screen instead of SPH-D710 you've obviously used firmware for the I9100 on your device, and there's a fair possibility you'll be making a trip to a service centre.
Find stock SPH-D710 firmware, flash that with Odin. Where ? No idea, like most people here know almost nothing about this model; try the usual haunts - Samfirmware, AndroidFirmwares.Net, Samsung-updates.com, Google search),.
I wanted to root my i9100, so after a quick google search I came up with this file: http ://downloadandroidrom. com/file/GalaxyS2/recovery/CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.tar
I booted my phone into download mode, and installed the tar via odin. I ticked PDA and pressed "start", everything was fine.
When it finished, I tried to boot my phone but it just won't boot. It's stuck on the Galaxy SII logo with the yellow triangle, and after a few seconds the screen just goes completely black. The phone is on, I can tell because when I plug it in my PC does the USB sound, and automatically installs driver, but there's nothing on the screen.
I can't boot into download or recovery mode either, my phone is basically dead.
Is there any way to get it running?
So basically, im a noob. i tried flashing stock lollipop on my galaxy s4 from CyanogenMod with odin, but it says not responding everytime pda is clicked. Now, when i try to boot up the phone with recovery mode (vol up home button and lock) it says "Recovery Booting" in the corner and vibrates twice. Then it tries to boot normally but of course fails with the cyanogenmod splash screen eternally spinning. PLZ HELP i have no other phone
Try a different PC and/or version of Odin. Sometimes Odin does that for a couple minutes and then will finish checking the md5 and work fine afterwards. Can be finicky on some computers.

your device is on a bootloop. you can overcome it by flashing last working official firmware of your device.
& for the lollipop update,
Check whether the update of lollipop is in .tar,md5 format then only you can flash it via odin through PDA option. You can even try Odin_v3.09 & select the AP option or simply follow any guide how to use Odin_v3.09
If the update is in .zip format then install a custom recovery to your device and flash it.
Lastly you can restore your phone by flashing official firmware that previously worked on your phone and then try flashing lollipop update with a fresh start.
Let me know for any other assistance
