So I just installed cm 10.1 on my galaxy player 5.0 and everything was working fine until the battery died and i tried to recharge it. Whenever I plugged it into my charger it would boot up normally and then maybe 20 seconds later it just shuts down. While on for a couple of seconds it says the battery percentage is 0 percent and I cant charge it because it automatically starts booting up. I also have had no luck in cwm recovery and I can not even boot into download mode. Did I just brick my galaxy player or is there anyway to resolve this issue? Thanks so much in advance!

I am not an expert but here is what i have to say. it sounds like a soft boot loop brick, that should be easily fixed with software

ok ive posted a few times on here about my problems not trying to be a nusence but i figure out more and more my problem is that my player will not boot up properly it just get stuck in a boot loop anytime it is shut off or dies the only way to get it to reboot is by plugging it into a wall charger not a usb charger and then mashing the recovery buttons and every once in awhile it will boot back up but it doesnt charge right it will charge to 100% but when i unplug it it says its still charging untill it gets to 10% and its normal again but its like its always charging other then that its fine untill it dies or freezes or something ive tried switching roms but it does the exact same thing everytime and any rom.

My friend: as droid_noob21 has pointed out, you need to give us more information. You have the USA 5.0 Player. Good. Are you rooted? Do you have CWM Recovery? Custom roms or kernels? We are XDA and we are here to help. But you have to give us more details first.
yesterday the battery of my s3 was very low (around 2%) and i went to sleep without charging it. When i woke up after about 4 hours or so the phone was dead. I plugged it to wall charger but nothing changed i mean there was no battery sign or LED light. I thought the battery is completely drained so i left it there for about 15 min. When i checked again there was still nothing. I tried to turn in on but no response, unplugged the charger took out the battery then put it in , still no response. so i just left it there to charge for half about half an hour. Then i tried to turn it on again but still nothing. I tried recovery mode but no response. then i tried download mode and it did got to download mode. Now i thought it was OK so i restarted the phone but again it wont respond (Black Screen). I tried the download mode again(wall charger was plugged in the whole time). The phone did go to download mode but the screen started to Flicker and when i restarted it the boot screen(I-9300) turned up(still a little flickerish). and then it stuck there for a while. Then it went black. Again i left it to charge for about another half an hour. Now when i tried to turn it on, recovery mode or download mode Nothing happened, there was no response.
Then i started reading different threads on internet but couldnt seem to find anyone else with similar problem. Btw i checked the charger on Note and it was charging fine. then i tried to charge my s3 through laptop and the battery sign appeared and phone started to charge. I turned it after a while and it turned on Ok.
My phone is rooted , custom rom -Omega 39 with Custom Kernel Yank555 and Philz Recovery v4
Now my question is, Is there something wrong with my set? i mean the non responsive state and screen flickering. Should i get it checked or was it something that just sort of happens. Has anybody else faced a similar problem?. what can i do to avoid it in the future.
*Sorry for such a long post, its my first time. and i read about the S3 Sudden Death and now i am freaking out!..

I know this sounds silly but its not in "hardsleep" as some people would call it, where the phone is idle for too long and basically shuts its self down? Or it could be the sudden death issue associated with the s3. This probably isn't much help but its a suggestion, I've never come across this before

Ok so for some reason now my SGP 5.0 USA will not turn on right. Whenever I press the power button it shows the loading circle then the battery icon. Now I know what your thinking its dead. But it is not! The battery is always charged. Right now it is at 85 percent and doing this. Only way to get it on is to plug it into the outlet and hold on until finally(after many of the battery reboots as mentioned above) it boots up.
Also it will not stay on. As soon as I unplug the charger the device turns right off. It only seems to start up properly when it is above 95 percent battery. If it is anything under I am forced to have it in the charger. I am on PAC-Rom with Sultan Kernel R5b2. I do not have fast charge enabled.
This is really weird, anyone know whats going on? Is the battery just shot?
Yeah, it happens to me on CM 10.1. I don't think there's anything you can do about it, and if you're worried about it not turning on, why not just charge it whilst it's on? It also seems that both ROMs don't have a charging animation. I'm not even sure if I understood your question, lol.

It does not matter if its on. I plug the charger in and taking it out will turn the device off. If I try to turn it on it wont turn on it just shows the battery icon then turns off no samsung logo nothing. Im just trying to wonder why its happening. It has never been a problem before been using cm 10.1 since they first released it for the SGP 5.0 and this has not started happening until a week or so ago.

Do you try to turn it on when it's plugged in? It's probably the ROM that's causing the problem.
Yes have to hold power button for a good 30 seconds it will do the whole battery icon several times on third one it finally goes to system completely bypassing Samsung logo which is weird.

Did you try draining the battery completely (boot to download mode and let it sit)? That has fixed it for other people.
Can clearing the battery stats by recovery work?

I have just tried this with no luck. This really sucks Its hard to install nightlies and turn it off during the night like I like when I can't even turn it back on or have it reboot into recovery. Think I should try flashing stock then cm9 then cm 10.1 in order see if that helps cause like I said been on cm 10 since it first came out never had a problem until a week ago.

The title says it all. My brothers Note 2 will only boot past the Galaxy Note 2 boot screen if it is connected to the charger. It doesn't matter if it is a USB or wall charge. If the phone is connected to a power source it boots into the system fine, however, once you remove it from the power source it turns off. I was wondering if it could be a bad battery but the charge is showing it at almost 80%. Has anyone ran into something like this before? If I try to boot the phone without it being connected, it sits at the Note 2 screen for about 15 seconds and then shuts itself off.
I'm not really sure but it sounds like the internals of the battery are closing up (shorting). Are you able to get another battery to test and see if it is the battery?
Note 2 - Boots , Loops, No SDS Detected as per eMMC checker on play store

Having same issues
Seems it hardware plus software issue.
Running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
Happened after installing few games .
Goes in constant boot loop
Can start by attaching power cord only to socket.
With USB attached to Laptop .. still goes in loop
Powerbank is workaround.
Seems to reboot when saving to sd card ..
Will keep posted

The problem, after getting a stock image back on the phone, ended up being a bad battery. The phone wouldn't hold a charge even though the charging image showed otherwise. Once you get a working image on there, try replacing the battery. I ordered an eight dollar cheapo battery from Amazon and it worked like a charm.

I second this. My phone went down Saturday. Thought it was something with CyanogenMod 11, but flashing back to stock did nothing. Replaced the battery, haven't had any problems since.

Thats first thing i did .. checked different battery ..
Battery is fine .. its not battery issue .. atleast in my case ..
i checked for SDS .. my phone has no SDS insane bug either .. though symptoms were same .
I have backup phone, using it.
I showed for mobile repair.
Said he will solve it .
So plan to take tomorrow.
I can root and all..
But after this booting dont want to brick it ..
So plan to do it via the mobile repair shop
Had same issue. Solved after replace the battery.
I have the same issue right now as well. I was on stock for awhile and used casual one click method, switched between a few roms. Than it started happening after that. So I flashed back to stock on odin and still have that issue. Havent figured it out yet.

I have had this issue and replacing the battery did the trick. I was having issues with the battery beforehand. once the battery showed as being at 17% the phone would start the reboot cycle and not fully boot until it was plugged in.
Have same problem here.....All these started when I replaced my bulge battery. New battery doesn't hold power below 20%. Phone goes off in boot cycle until plugged in a charger
Try to boot on USB/PC data connection
When connected t PC-system will boot to a point. PC indicates new connection then looses it and Note 2 returns to flash screen. Problem start when using corporate email and encrypted data. Works w/o error connected to wall charger. Disconnect crashes system. Flashes screen forever. No diagnostics. Did all SW reboots. Doubt battery, but will try.

Did you ever test a new battery/figure it out?
Mine is doing the same thing I think. I only boots if connected to a wall charger. If connected to PC with USB it will boot to the [T-Mobile in my case] boot screen, connect to PC for a split second (long enough to make the connection sound in windows, then I can't find it) and it stays on that screen. Without being connected to either, or after pulling plug, it turns off.
Same problem here with mine
can't be just the battery because it will stay on w/o charger when in download/recovery mode or if it gets stuck on the Verizon screen.

I'm having the same issue but i can boot into recovery without the charger.
I've been trying to find a definitive answer on this and did several searches of the forum. I found one issue which was similar here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413998 but, am not sure if it is really the same thing.
My battery has 100% drained on my Galaxy Player 5.0 . I am running a 4.3 ROM and Kernel, though I can't remember which off the top of my head.
Whenever my Galaxy Player is fully drained or is turned off, I cannot charge it properly through USB. I get a clocking/refresh screen, a white empty battery and then the system restarts and the same process starts over again. This has happened no matter which kernel or ROM I have used in the past as well, and only goes away when using the factory default ROM and Kernel. This loop happens regardless of using the wall charger or just the USB wire to computer.
I have tried timing the removal of the USB cable between the loops to get the device booted up but, when the battery is dead there is not usually enough juice to jump-start the player. The only way to fix it is to let the thing sit for hours and hours and hope that maybe the battery has somehow managed to get enough charge despite the looping.
Whenever the Galaxy Player is in this dead battery or powered off loop you can't get into download or recovery. Luckily, if the device is just turned off and still has battery power you can just remove the USB and turn it on. This obviously does not work when the battery is dead.
The biggest problem is not when the device is powered off but, when the battery is dead. It is nearly impossible to charge through the constant loop.
So, I have a couple of questions:
Has anyone come up with a definitive way to get out of these kind of loops other than installing the factory standard ROM/Kernal?
Is this something that has been fixed in any of the 4.4 kernels or roms?
That sounds really bad man I don't know if that's odd internal problems with your Galaxy Player or something
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA Free mobile app
Well, I was able to get it working after plugging it in to a wall charger and some luck. However, it still doesn't explain why the looping happens whenever the device is off and the USB is plugged in instead of just charging. It also doesn't explain why when the battery dies and I plug it in, it loops instead of charging.

This is why you don't let the battery drain 100%.
