This is my first post on XDA.
I seem to have soft bricked my GP4.
I was running PAC-ROM CM10.0 (4.1.2) and trying to upgrade to CM11 (cm-11-20140323-UNOFFICIAL-ypg1). I loaded the ROM and gapps on the external SD card and used CWM 6.0.2.8 to make a backup, wipe cache, system, and data, and at that point I accidently rebooted so I forced shutdown, booted into recovery again, wiped again and installed the ROM.
For some reason , after the second install, the CM signup screen appeared. After I filled everything, I tried to reboot but I can't get to either the android or recovery. Either attempt (boot or boot to recovery)results in the same thing: a screen saying "Samsung" followed by one saying "Galaxy S Cyanogenmod" followed by the screen saying "Samsung" again - where it stays until I pull the battery. I'm not sure what I did wrong. I've successfully installed KK ROMs on my GP5 and Galaxy Nexus.
I can get to the Download screen.
My backup isn't much use unless I can get to recovery.
Any suggestions for my next move?

If you can't get into recovery then you are going to have to flash back to stock. What happens when try to get into CWM?. If it shows the Samsung logo 3 times in a row then that is normal and you just have to wait till it boots. Otherwise follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51762484. If you have a non North american device then download its heimdall file

When I try to get into CWM, I get the same result as when trying to boot. It won't go into CWM.
The link above doesn't mention needing to repartition. Is the pit file needed to return to stock with Heimdall Suite 1.1.1?

No you don't need to repartition and a pit file is not needed. If you have a us galaxy player ( has capacitive home button) then I provided all the files you need. Just follow the instructions.

Thanks for the help. I'm running 2.3.5 and can start over. The only minor glitches were needing to download the Samsung USB driver and disabling Windows 8's driver signature protection.
You still had to download the samsung driver even when using zandig? That is pretty odd lol. Also backup make sure you make a backup of your efs just in case you want to stay with the stock firmware

I reinstalled KK being careful to follow all directions, but the result was another soft brick. The next time i figured it out. I had been using the directions under:" If coming from a Pre-LVM build: (ALL builds before 28/12 as well as CM10.1, CM10.2)", since I was coming from 10.1.
I finally used the directions for: "If Coming from an LVM Build" and it worked.

Sorry for the late reply. I used the directions in the following "How-to-Geek" article to disable driver signature verification. I don't believe that the change is permanent.

Using this thread because it's pretty relevant to what I need... All the files for the US version are in the link, and I've downloaded and followed the driver instructions, but when I press the flash button, it throws and error and shows the PC and Kies screen on the player.
Am I doing something wrong?
Take a picture of your devics 's screen because you shouldn't get any error doing this unless the drivers aren't being install correctly.

My phone wont boot now.
It stays stuck at the 2nd Samsung during the boot up.
What happen was I updated today to offical ICS from my rooted gingerbread.
I updated via kias today to get official ICS, got it working and I noticed I didn't have cwm install anymore, so I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
It is pass it did it reboot thing, and never got past the 2nd "samsung" loading screen.
Anyone know how to get my phone booting again?
Flash the latest ICS kernel
I am not sure how to do that without cwm.
Before I updated to ICS when I press power + up down, it booted into CWM. Now when I do that I boots into Android System Recovery <3e>
EDIT: Good news.
Got CWM through installed though odin and then I restored to my gingerbread backup I made earlier.
Flash your roms via clockwork recovery mod from now on.
Drop the ROM .zip on sd card and then enter recovery. Wipe everything three times each then flash a uclf6 based ROM. Never touch Odin or kies again. Be happy. Ice cream sandwich is way better than ginger bread

Had the same exact problem. I "believe" the problem was that the CWM I flashed was perhaps incompatible with the official ICS?
I used Odin to flash cwm 5.5.0.4 as suggested and the fone was shut down with the hanging Samsung screen as you mentioned. I used the DL screen with Odin to the 600mb Team Objection ROM, which at least got me up and running again. I found out that CWM did in fact flash once the ROM was compatible with it. Updated CWM, then to finally get full stability, I had to do a factory reset after clearing both caches, then install the CM9 official.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Update: I installed official ICS again last night, looks like I lost my root and CWM.
I don't want to mess anything up again, so could you tell me exactly what CWM file you used to flash so it doesn't hang at samsung again?
I was having the same problems but I think I was doing it wrong. How are you flashing the root files? I upgraded from Kies, then used Odin to flash cwm touch (5.5.0.4 I think), make sure to let the reboot and that it's actually turned on and you can see your homescreen. Once you do that, THEN flash the superuser 3.0.7 in cwm. Let the phone reboot properly and it should be okay.
I was doing the same without the reboots and that's what caused me to hang at the logo, but after the above it worked well. Give it a try. For anyone who needs to flash the T-Mobile radios also let the phone reboot and then flash it because I was having issues with that which was fixed by letting the phone reboot.
Make nandroids at every step in case it does hang so you can just restore and try again instead of flashing everything all over again.

I've also tried rooting my AT&T Galaxy Note I717 which had recently upgraded to ICS via AT&T/Kies and my phone is stuck at the Samsung boot screen. While I'm no expert with rooting phones, I had no problem rooting it when it had GB installed so I figured I wouldn't have any problems rooting it again. Is flashing the ICS kernel the best way to fix this? Where do I get the ICS kernel from and how do I flash it?
Details: After my phone upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 kernel 3.0.8 (IMM76D.UCLF6), I followed some instructions to root it using Odin3-v1.85 and PDA->pda.tar. Other instructions used cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 and odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar and I tried those but to no avail. So I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed but I don't know what to do next.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I restored my phone back to a non-rooted working Android 4.0.4 by downloading the stock ROM for my phone (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) and uploading it using Odin3-v1.85/PDA. I didn't even lose any of my settings or data. Now I need to figure out how to successfully root it. But at least I'm not worried about getting stuck on the Samsung screen anymore.
Open odin , PDA cwm file, Droid in dl mode, plug in start unplug, reboot, go to cwm recovery mode and backup onto sd card.
Im learning more, as i soft bricked mine last time

You realize the reason you were stuck was because you flashed a GB kernel onto an ICS system? It would never boot. As the second post suggested... all you had to do was flash an ICS kernel to get it to boot.

This happened to me after misreading a comment.
If you put your phone into download mode, plug it in, run kies, and do an emergency firmware recovery. You'll need the serial number. My phone is stock ICS again. Works fine.

so cwm 5.5.0.4 touch is a GB kernel? Because that's all I flashed after the KIES update to ICS and I got the hanging Samsung logo.
I believe some people are trying to get ICS rooted with this cwm and are getting stuck. Of course there are ways out of it, but it'll help the learning process if we can find the problem.

I have a p4wifi that is stuck in a boot loop. I think the term is 'soft bricked'.
Basically, last night I turned my tab on for the first time in ages, and it all worked fine. I had rooted and flashed custom roms before (I'd been running a nightly of CyanogenMod for a long time, and it worked well), and I considered myself an expert. I updated loads of apps and stuff, and then realised I wanted a new font. I went into ROM manager and found the font I wanted, Ubuntu. It told me there was an update to ClockworkMod recovery so I wen ahead and updated it, checking the thing for Touch (I'd already bought it). That want ahead and it updated, throwing me back into the OS. I then went to get Ubuntu (I downloaded it within ROM manager), and didn't deem it necessary to create a backup, nor wipe anything. It processed it but returned an error, I though ok but never mind and I told it to reboot. Again that worked fine. I realised I was on a very old verson of CyanogenMod (probably ICS, it was around 201304). As I always do, I grabbed the latest version (again, in ROM manager), and elected to install it. I didn't wipe the delvik cache or whatever, and hit 'Reboot into recovery'. That was where the problem occurred. It wouldn't go any further than the 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1' boot screen (see attachment) into recovery. A similar thing happened before, but it just eventually went away after an hour or so. This has been running for a day, and there has been no progress. I've tried various key combos, like the normal way to get into recovery, but they won't work.
If I need I could find the instructions I followed, but it would be hard.
Is it completely broken? Can a save my data? Will I have to factory reset it? Will I keep my root/ClockworkMod? Will I keep my rom?
Thanks in advance to the person who can answer this
Do you have any ROM zips in your SD card? If you do, boot into recovery, full wipe and flash it. Piece of advice, don't use the recovery in ROM manager. Download pershoot's version of cwm instead in here. www.droidbasement.com

I have a few nandroid backups, if that counts? I do have a few ROM zips on my SD card too, though. Will a full wipe delete photos etc? I'm guessing it'll get rid of the apps, but that's no problem. But how would I get into recovery? I've already tried to get in with no success.

If you can find a way to get into recovery, then yes you can use your nandroid. You problem now is you can't get into recovery or download mode, right? Well can you try using adb? If you can then type adb reboot recovery in command prompt to reboot to recovery.
Oh yeah, full wipe won't delete photos etc unless you wipe your internal storage/SD card.

Just tried that, when I selected recovery it just turned off
So you can get into download mode?
Download mode, yes. I've got it open now, in fact
Now that's easy. Your tab can't boot because it doesn't have any sort of recovery(don't ask me why I don't know ). Apparently ROM Manager wiped your recovery clean and didn't flash the new one. Just flash cwm or twrp via Odin and try to boot. If it still can't boot, then restore your nandroid. Ironically, the same thing happened to me yesterday when I tried to flash latest twrp using Mobile Odin.

I actually have no idea. I think I used a program similar to Odin that did the job. I remember booting into download more before. Oh yes, I flashed the disk image for the root and CWM using the default windows tool. Anyway, I've fixed it now. I couldn't find a .tar to do the job so I converted a random file to a .tar and flashed it that way, tricking it into thinking it had a recovery and therefore booting. In the OS I used ROM Manager to get CWM.

I was experimenting with custom roms (mistake on my part) and got my Galaxy Tab to a version of JellyBean (CM 10.1) that is stable. However, in my noobliness, I didn't realize I couldn't get apps from the app store (makes more sense in hindsight). I also didn't realize that I can't revert easily.
If I connect the device to my computer, it says that Windows doesn't recognize it, and doesn't even acknowledge it in any other way. I tried running Kies, but could only ever get it to go through with the firmware upgrade while in download mode (again, not sure if this is what it was asking for) and even then I'd get an error with a bunch of random boxes for the description. I can get a screenshot of that if necessary.
EDIT: After a long time of inactivity, Kies informs me that the device is not responding.
Apologies if I'm missing something completely obvious, but this is really frustrating, so any help would be appreciated.

It's not the ROM that needs to be compatible, it's the device. Below is a link of the entire list of devices that are compatible with the clockwork recovery
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
And this is the link of the entire list of compatible devices twrp.
http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices
If your device is not on either of these lists , that means it is not officially supported. Does not mean it is not available. A developer may have compiled a copy specifically for your device. In which case, if you look at the "Original Android development" forums for your device it would be there. If you cannot find it there, it probably does not exist.

OK bro, took me some time but found and flashed CWM to my Samsung galaxy exhibit t599n. Now my dilemma is that when I try to flash recovery I loop back to CWM recovery screen. Tried to install Cerberus from Rom Manager and used the in app flash tool. It installed and when I clicked reboot. It just kept going to the recovery screen. Thanks too for the advice earlier. That really helped. Now, please help me to avoid this looping. I think I may be doing something wrong or leaving out something.

Okay that makes sense then. Do I boot into recovery, wipe data and then flash everything using Odin or is there a more preferred way to wipe data. Just making sure I have all this sorted before I do something bad.

I think after flashing a factory firmware by Odin, the device will AUTOMATICALLY boot into stock recovery, where you can wipe data in the correct format. At least that's what it said in the guide I read, and also happens on my Player 4.0 for both Froyo and Gingerbread.

Now I have a boot loop.... I followed this guide with no success. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850600
Any other ideas?
I am getting lots of errors in recovery mode. Lots of can't mount errors and everything else. I have no idea what to do now. So much for selling this to make some money.
Dude I had the same problem all you need to do is flash RJ cwm 14 kernel then go back in download mode go to Odin and I hate to say this but flash your gingerbread firmware. Tell me if this works or not because this happened to me 3 times Boot loop and brick status and semi brick.

No did not work. Still stuck in the boot loop. When I am in Recovery mode, I get unable to mount errors. It wont see my external SD card either.

Well since you're getting mount errors, are you sure you flashed the correct PIT file? Mount errors are likely caused by a wrong pit file.
EDIT: I see you have pointed to a thread with correct PIT files. So I think you should flash the PIT file first, boot into download again and then flash the Stock ROM and Kernel. If it boot loops at the boot animation, boot into the stock recovery and wipe data.
