Hello,
I have rooted my device and have CM10.1 installed (already months ago).
My kids did something and now the device is stuck on the CM boot screen.
I can boot into the CWM recovery (unfortunately there is no backup present).
I did a factory reset/wipe cache/wipe david cache.
This did not solve the problem.
I wanted to use Odin1.85 to flash a new rom, but Odin can not connect to my device.
I downloaded the Samsung mobile drivers and tried the version 1.3.15 and version 1.3.25 drivers.
When I go to the "Download Mode" and connect the cable to the device (with Odin already started), I get the message on my laptop that the "device is not recognized". On the device the message "waiting USB cable" keeps showing.
I tried to connect with ADB but then when I try to see my device "ADB devices" the list shows nothing.
So I think it is a driver problem, not sure.
My laptop is running Windows 7.
Anyone got any idea what to do??
Any help is much appreciated!!
Do you have any ROM zips in your SD card? If so, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik in recovery and flash that ROM.

No I don't have any roms on the device.
Wished it was so easy.
Well I can't help much since I don't know what your kids did. All I can say is just try to get Odin to be able to recognize your tab, but you already know that.
BTW, here's the driver that I use. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/GT-P7510MAYXAB

Thanks for the link.
Did try the drivers you are using, but that also is not working.
I will try to get another laptop and see if it is working on there.
I reinstalled all drivers of my laptop, but to no avail!
I (un/)installed several Samsung USB drivers but all I tried did not help.
So my next step will be first try it on another laptop (I did not get hold of another laptop yet)..
Stupid, stupid.
I had a nightly in the cmupdater folder.
I did wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
Then I installed the nightly from the cmupdater folder.
Rebooted the device but it still hangs on the startup screen of Cyanogenmod.
Any other ideas or is it now really bricked!

There should be boot.img within the cm's zip file.
Check it
or
reflash the rom again and perform the full wipe.

I know there is a boot.img inside the cm rom. But I can not extract it from the rom since my tablet is stuck at the boot screen with the cm logo.
And it is not possible to flash a img from CWM recovery, only zip files.

A full wipe means formating system, data, dalvik cache and cache. You can find in under mounts.

put the stock rom on it if u want and flash it.
and i asked u for the tab details
use this
Hold down the power button and make sure it turns off. There might be a battery charging symbol on the screen once it’s off.
Hold down Volume Down, and then Power buttons. The tablet should power up. Wait till there are two icons.
Press the Volume Down button to toggle between which icon is selected. Make sure the LEFT (USB) icon is selected.
Press the Volume Up button to actually select. Now you are in “Fastboot” mode.
Plug the tablet into your computer’s USB port

I'd really appreciate some help guys, I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find answers.
I had Cyanogen Mod 9 rooted on my phone, however, I decided to install Omega instead, I installed it but I can't get on it! Everytime I install zip and reboot, it goes back to CWM Recovery!
The procedure was:
-deleted all files in internal SD
-Reboot into CWM Recovery
-Wipe data,cache,dalvik
-install zip from sd card
and now im stuck
Please help, and apologies if any noob mistakes were made

You'll lose all your data but do a factory reset and wipe your system in addition to what you've already done and re flash the rom. FYI always have a nandroid backup around before flashing. It's time consuming but saves you a lot of grief in the long run

Factory reset(wipe) is an option in cwm(3rd from above) wipe and reflash the rom and let it boot,this can take 10min
1st check md5 .. it will show u wether its bad download or nt ... and then do this
go into cwm and to wipe data\factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik and insll rom ..
omega 10 is up so better try omega 10 as its new rom :

How would put it into my internal SD if I can't transfer the file because I can only boot into Recovery or Download mode? Do I just Odin it straight in via the PDA option?
If you connect your phone with the PC while in recovery you should be able to use adb commands
Put the rom file into the adb folder than try
Code:
adb devices
now you should see any cryptic combination of letters and numbers in the next row
(if you see a empty row... that wouldn't be nice^^)
then do:
Code:
adb push yourromfile.zip /sdcard/yourromfile.zip
than try flashing again the new file
dont forget to do a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, the common procedure^^
PS:
If you don't know about adb, it is installed with the android sdk, but you can download it seperately
place the ADB folder somewhere on you system hd, maybe directly to C:\
the open cmd and type
cd C:\ADB\
now you're able to use the above commands
You can put it on an external sd and flash it from there...

Hey guys, I'm really desperate and I think I just screwd my S2; so a little help would be really really nice !
I have a S2 which was previously on a "Resurrection-remix_ics" Version 2.4.1! I updated the version to Resurrection remix 3.0.2 but I forgot to "factory reset" the phone before going to recovery mode and updating the version...
Now the phone won't load, It gets stuck on the loading screen...
If you have any Idea what I could do to fix it, please notify me! Is it possible to put the previous version in the SD card, and just downgrade the version...?

Btw, before flashing the rom, I did DO the following in the recovery mode:
wipe data/ factory reset
-- wipe cahe partition
-- advanced > wipe dalvik cache
If u can enter the recovery just flash the older version

Is there a way to do a factory reset in Recovery Mode?
i guess that wipe data/factory reset is listed in recovery mode,or am i mistaken ?
and u say u can get into recovery so just choose wipe data/factory reset and it's over then flash ur older version
I recently wiped and flashed my phone with another ROM via CWM recovery. afterwards, the home button, while not dead, does not act the way it's supposed to! It can still be used to volume up+home and power to enter cwm recovery, confirm in cwm, and be pressed to turn the screen on from sleep, but nothing else. I suspect it to be something that I did in CWM recovery, but I can't fix it. help!
Sound like rom problem. What rom you flashed? Double check that you downloaded the correct rom for your model. Then reflash again.

Galaxy s2 international (gt 19100). It hangs on the boot logo, which now is a yin yang with ics on it, I guess this is a NEAT thing. I can go into recovery mode, it just hangs if I try to boot normally.

The yin yang boot logo is actually the kernel. (Siyah)
You should probably try a factory reset/wipe data from recovery. This will alleviate 90% of boot loops and stuck on boot issues.
How do I do that?

You just said above you can boot to recovery... Once you are in recovery mode, can you not follow the recovery menu system to find the wipe data/factory reset option? It should be pretty straightforward.
I'm not running Siyah, so I don't know what the exact menu item is called in the recovery image that is in that kernel.
I tried that but it still does the same thing... any other tips?

Ok. Are you SURE you're doing a wipe data/factory reset when in recovery? If so, then I'd flash a stock firmware, full wipe again, then try the Neat ROM install again.

As an easy rule before installing any new ROM (that isn't an upgrade from a previous version ex. Cm10 builds or if otherwise stated ) wipe data , cache and dalvik cache , which is under advanced

I will be getting a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 tomorrow and I am interested in installing the PACMAN ROM
However, the instructions are not clear for me since I am new to all this. I've downloaded the roms, gapps and kernal and now the instructions say to:
'Put the files on your device
Reboot into recovery
Wipe dalvik cache
Install the zips (or do adb sideload if you want)
Reboot'
Since I have no experience with android devices, I am not sure how to do these steps. I've tried searching on Youtube but there aren't any tutorials for SGP's. I am aware that I need to do a full wipe since I am going from GB to JB (so I need to delete data, dalvik, system and dbdata). It also says to do a backup if anything goes wrong, which I am not too sure how to do as well.
If someone could explain these instructions clearly to me, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

put your device in download mode (hold down power and volume down) and flash entropy's kernel with odin.
then you will have clockworkmod recovery, which you can boot into by holding power and volume up.
in clockworkmod, you can make a backup, wipe data, and install the rest of the stuff.
you could even do all of this without ever booting up the stock rom.
This is what I do/did...
I used this tutorial to flash CWM and root
http://m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
Download SuperOneClick and
Download Odin. Follow tutorial.
Odin can be used to flash ROMs or kernels and to flash CWM.
Download the Pacman ROM and a kernel and put it on your External SD card.
Use ROM Manager from the play store to reboot into Recovery mode (easiest way) or volume up and power button at the same time as the Samsung flashes after you first boot your device.
From recovery mode you can wipe dalvik cache etc, but if this is a new device, you shouldn't have to factory reset or wipe cache (I think) If you're buying a used device, wipe and reset.
You're in recovery mode still, navigate to-
"Load zip from external SD card" and select it. Navigate to the Pacman zip and select it.
You navigate using the volume up and down buttons and select using the power button.
Navigate back to main screen in recovery mode and select Reboot System.
Do the same thing to flash a kernel. If the kernel has clockwork mod integrated, load the kernel first.
I use Xplore to move files around, it's quick and easy.
The reason ppl tell you to back up any data is, they have data they want to keep. If this is a new device, you don't have anything worth saving, such as contacts apps etc.

After I flashed the kernel, it said 'PASS' on the Odin screen but now my device keeps rebooting, and it won't stop! D:
I can enter CWM Recovery, and I tried wiping data/factory reset and I've wiped cached partition but it still keeps rebooting.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know! I've googled this problem for 3 hours but haven't found a solution
what exactly did you do in cwm?
did you install pac rom?
if not, try installing (using install zip from sdcard) it directly over gb, after doing a full wipe.
also install gapps the same way

I followed instructions on this website;
m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
(I can't post links, but its the website that HOG1 posted above)
I got up to step 7, but my device kept rebooting after that. So I went in CWM recovery by holding POWER and UP buttons and wiped my data and cache but it still kept rebooting.
And I can't flash any roms since I still haven't rooted the device. I couldn't use entropy's kernel because I have an INTL Galaxy Player.

Would that work, even though I haven't rooted my device yet? Since I haven't done the steps under 'Rooting the Galaxy Player 5.0' on the link HG1 sent.
oh you have an intl device. in that case, you'll have to install cm9 first, power down, boot up into recovery and install pac rom
you dont have to be rooted for this

Okay, but in the CM9 thread the first thing it says for installation is 'Make sure your device is ROOTED' and mine is not - so are you sure it will work? I just don't want to brick my device or anything, just got it today xD
to install cm9, boot into recovery, and go to mounts and storage, then select the mount usb storage (connect your usb cable to your computer first)
then copy a cm9 rom zip over (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679957)
you should be fine
if something fails for some reason, try installing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144 via odin (put your device in dl mode).
this is a rooted stock rom

yup, dont forget to wipe data, cache, dalvik, (look under mounts and storage) system, and dbdata (or datadata)
All this INTL and US device stuff just throws wrenches into everything. The link I posted says it's for INTL and US devices. Apparently not the case.
I have intl kernel on my US device and it works fine, not sure why the reverse isn't true. Weird.
I use the INTL kernel because I like the governors choices.

Yeah it sucks that Samsung made different devices for different regions...Makes no sense..
But yeah, I installed CM9 and when I selected to reboot my phone from the actual ROM it said 'Rebooting...' and now its been like this for 30mins or so... :| I guess I'll have to wait for the battery to drain or something, but as soon as it does I'll wipe data, etc and install PACMAN with the new kernel and gapps. Sucks that you can't take the battery out the phone, I don't think the phone is actually gonna reboot.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I JUST SAW ONLINE THAT YOU CAN SWITCH IT OFF BY HOLDING DOWN THE POWER BUTTON AND HOME BUTTON...Yeah I'm totally new to Android and Samsung xD
Or you could hold the power and volume up buttons to go into Recovery mode and reboot from there.
