Hello, I've been trying to figure out how to completely reset and unroot my Galaxy Player 5.0 US and in the process accidentally got to the point where it won't boot and was wondering if anyone could help...
The devices will start every once in a while, does not get to a boot screen but shows a little phone with two dots beside it and beside that a yellow warning triangle followed by two more dots and then a computer beside that. Seems to be able to connect to Odin, randomly shuts off after a while then eventually starts again in a loop.
Where should I go from here?

What you are seeing is forced download mode. You can just flash a stock ROM using Odin and it will work again

i have had the same issue before. you can use the stock rom or any kernel though i would reccommend the rom
After i restart my p769 it gets caught in a boot loop type of crap. Where im unable to use the phone. Im completely stock have never tried to root it or anything. Then the only way to fix it is to hard reset it and redo everything. ): what do i do????

You can Hard reset with press vol-, home and power at time
or put on the USB cab then press vol+ and power button to start S/W Update , in the Computer using KDZ update to reinstall SoftWare for LG L9
I was thinking about trying to root the phone but seems like I might mess it up. A lot of steps.

You've not even tried and your phone is bootlooped? How do you it will clear booting after a hard reset, have you tried? Does it bootloop again once youve restored your apps?
No I haven't done anything to the phone conceive gotten it back in January. I am running jellybean tho. For two straight days if I restarted my phone after the hard 're s st it would stick either on the t-mobile 4g screen or load all the way up and the screen would switch from" android is updating" "loading apps" to my home screen. But phone would finish. I Let it sit for two hours like that. And nothing happened so I just hard reset it and it has worked fine since then. And I have restarted it since then. I was thinking it was my dad's cheap car charger doing it?..

So I flashed to DrakyRom, everything was going great then I flashed SiyahKernel S3-v1.8.6, everything was good too, after trying to install and download an application from Google Play, i had a message "Package file is invalid". I decided to reboot the device, it got stuck on the booting screen, I did a battery pull. NOW MY PHONE WON'T TURN AT ALL! I plugged the charger, connected it to pc, tried to go into Recovery/download mode, nothing is responsive at all. What went wrong? :crying:
i hope i mentioned all the details you guys need.
DarkyRom I flashed:

The device is not able to connect with the PC. Not even the sound of plugging in a device goes on when I plug it.

I tried, no luck. The phone is getting jtaged at a store. Is there anyway i can avoid bricking my phone again? what is weird is is the fact that more than 30 users did exactly what i did, flashed the rom, then flashed the kernal, but no one reported any issue!
you probably don't have an i9300
Ok, where to begin. so i rooted my phone fine. i was trying to attempt to apply some hacks to swap external sdcard with internal but everything said i have to change my bootloader. rooted fine with some Chinese program. i tried rom toolkit for the bootloader unlocker. reboots, but nothing. so i found an APK file that you run on the phone itself, that you hit an unlock button and it reboots. it said it supported my model etc. but now when i turn it on it goes past the MetroPCS screen into a white screen with "Encrypting" and a button saying "Reset Phone". then an error pops up that says "com.android.phone has stopped" then it sits there forever.
Well, i did figure out that if you let the battery die down a warning message pops up like normal warning of low battery. it gives options to hit OK or Battery Use. if i hit battery use it takes me into the settings menu. i can change anything from there. i tried a factory reset from there and nothing. i tried hard reset [buttons] and nothing. i tried flashing the 10B_00.kdz using AIO Toolkit and it fails saying my phone isn't connected. so oi go back into settings and enable debug etc etc, reboot and then try....same failure. doesnt recognize. i uninstalled and reinstalled pc suite, LGUnited mobile drivers......nothing nothing nothing. i have seen others with same issue and they end up recovering....but not me. am i supposed to flash 10B kdz? that's what my settings say i have. LGMSP76910b or something like that. all firmware sites the p769 model is TMOBILE....can i try flashing a tmobile kdz for my phone and it NOT mess up my metro service? i have tried the update tool....nothing.
My wife has been threatening to kill me so please help. i can only say "Woman! get your ass back in the kitchen and make me a sammich!" a few more times before she realizes all she has to do is whop me over the head with a pan....or broom.....or my broken LG Optimus.....help.

You performed the online restore method.
In order to get the offline flash to work, you need to use the unofficial fastboot and restore an ice cream (p769) x-loader & u-boot. Then perform the offline flash.
There is a problem with jellybeans x & u, and performing the s/w upgrade starting from a cold boot.
The only way for the offline flash flash to work and still be on a jellybean (x-loader & u-boot) the phone must be operating properly and turned on normally (plus it needs to be in the lg software mode).
Finding this information is not easy, because the main sticky threads are out dated.
I've posted this information so many times. I'm like a broken record.

Remove any changes to your windows host file (if you don't know what I'm talking about disregard)
Setup the program put your phone in s/w mode (hold vol + then enter the USB cable into your computer). Enter the information and wait a really long time.
Please don't do anything else while performing the restore. Also make sure your computer doesn't go to sleep during the whole process.

So I'm having the same issues as OP and this is apparently the only thread on the internet where anyone is experiencing this issue. MetroPCS 769 running JB. The phone POSTs and gets to the metroPCS carrier screen but goes to a white screen that just says "encrypting" with a blank progress bar, and that one app crashing. Every other reboot I get the Android recovery screen with the robot and a progress bar, and it reboots back to the "Encryping" screen. I can't even force the phone into a recovery or factory reset mode.
When I run the LG software updater, it says the software on my phone is up to date. There's a menu item for "Download recovery" which detects my phone, and acts like it's downloading something but never finishes. Any idea on how to proceed from here?

I assumed it would but at this point it's been going for ~14 hours with the "Time Elapsed" stuck at 13 seconds.
Guess I'll just let it sit some more.
