Hi guys
I really need your help, i have got a 5830i and no matter what rom i load onto it, the phone works fine untill i try to put google play on it, then it just says insuffiecent storage. then when i look in apps, there is about 20mb left.
I have even had cwm on it and wiped cach/data/kalvin cache, yet still cant install any app.
Also i have used odin to apply original firmware yet still insufficent storage, surely these phones cant be that bad, i should be able to install at least 1 app
Just to add, when i try to wipe dalvik cach, i get "cache wipe complet. E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
is that right??

this is what i saw after flashed rom, can anyone help me?
The zip file got corrupted in the download or when you transferred it from your computer to your phone (more likely the latter). You need to redownload the file and put it on your phone again. Make sure you don't disconnect your phone until you are 100% all the files have transferred.

thanks and i'm trying to "redownload"
but i have another question, i wiped data and cache in the cwm recovery, however when i flash "I9100ZSKI3_I9100OZSKI3_I9100XXKI3_HOME_ROOT" and go to the home screen, the things i've downloaded are still here!! i've tried twice ( i mean "wipe data and cache" and the apps are still here!!!
it means now it seems the problem is "can't wipe data" !
can anybody help me?
What on earth is "I9100ZSKI3_I9100OZSKI3_I9100XXKI3_HOME_ROOT"?
What I think you're asking is why after flashing doing a data wipe (factory reset) and flashing a ROM you still have apps etc? The ROM installs things onto your phone that are deleted when you data wipe. Data wipe will remove everything that a ROM cannot install for you (random apps form the appstore you use, text messages, contacts etc.).
I'm running rooted ICS on my SGS2, have had no problem with it and have been running it for a while without any further modifications, however last night the battery went completely flat on me which hasn't happened before and after fully charging the phone, when I turn it back on it goes into a crash loop - That is no applications will start, and the screen is non responsive, then it closes TWLauncher and restarts the on screen apps again. For a few seconds the screen is responsive but whichever app I click on just says it has crashed. I can't even get it to display the Power off/reboot menu. After several cycles of this the phone completely resets.
I've removed the battery and attempted to get it into CWM but the screen just goes black when it should show CWM and then restarts after a few seconds.
Can someone please help me as I can't use my phone
I've managed to get into CWM - Backed up and then cleared cache & dalvik cache.
It went through it's "Android is upgrading" process and came up looking hopeful (Loaded a few extra bits) but then reset and is doing the exact same thing again
Any further ideas?
Factory wipe, if that fails, flash your stock ROM from odin assuming you can get onto download mode?

I was hoping that would be a plan F. I wanted to try plans B>E first if possible.
Edit: Is it possible to backup with CWM the "SD Card" section as I have no other way of backing up it's contents and would like to keep them (Photo's etc.).

wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and reboot. wiping data will not delete contents of ur sdcard.if that doesn't help copy rom files into external card and flash rom from external card by full wipe.
If your CWM recovery support usb mass storage mode, copy ur rom flashable zip into /sdcard, wipe data, wipe cache, then install zip. You should at least able to boot successfully, though all your contact, sms, apps will be gone.
Hi guys,
As the title said, Galaxy Player 5.0 Wifi got soft-bricked during the flash process. Now, it stucks at the loading screen with the samsung text only. I can still get to the Recevery and Downloading mode but up till now I have tried flash many stock ROM, factory reset without hope. I believe that it's the software conflicting problem or problem with the bootloader
Please help me with this, my friend ask me to flash it to Cyanogen Mod 9 and I bricked his player. That's really bad for both of us. Before any thingies, it run on Froyo and on the back cover, it said YP-G70CW/ Made in CHina
Please help me with this soon ( any suggestion is appreciated
Hello my friend!I will say again:
ALWAYS WHATEVER IS HAPPENING,BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM YOU MUST BACKUP THE CURRENT SYSTEM FROM CWM!!!
If you have this,you may go to back-up and restore in CWM,restore and vouala you have again your current rom.
If you have not made a system Back-Up (also Nandroid backup) you will have to download a new rom,send it to your device in downloading mode and then install this.
I can suggest you the ROM CM9 that I use because its just awesome.Just a little prob with the preloaded microSD card.
What device do you have?INTL or USA?
Actually, I'm having the .zip file of CM9 from this topic as well : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679957
However, even though I can connect my phone to the computer, use ODIN to root it and flash the .zip file after factory reset, etc. , the situation is still the same :-< It stay stuck at the samsung logo like forever
I believe I'm using an Intl one because it has hot physical home button. However, the back cover read: YP-G70CW Made in China. Therefore, I don't know which ROM should I flash??
do you follow ALL the instructions from this thread?

I did. I did the factory reset and deleted cache, etc. before installing the .zip file. :-<
did you do this in CMR:
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache
?
To wipe dalvic cache go to advanced section in CWM

yes, i meant CWM, mistyped it..
I did them all too. However, for the Dalivik cache, it does not show up text at all, just a little flash nothing changes. What seems to be wrong here is that every time I finish an action, it show up 4 line of errors like: can't mount to cache/..../recovery.log. Is that the problem??
Yes thats the problem.You may have locked the internal SD...Try formatting you external SD and then pass your zip again,this may fix the problem
If system can't mount it's files,there is no way it will load.
I took the external SD card out, formatted it and flashed the CM9 again. No luck
The four lines of error read like below, they keep appearing every time I do something:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Those errors are common within using CWM for the Galaxy Player 5. If you rebooted the device, it will most likely go away. There is no need for concern.
Hi guys, I'm new to this Forum
Actually, Im having this problem…
It all about my font ..
I was using the fonts from settings > display > font … but then I thought of changing a newer font, and so I downloaded “Font Installer”
I didn’t read the instructions carefully before I download and install…It says **Backup first before you do anything**, and so, I install the font and it change my browser’s font and the folder font (like when you create a folder, it will show you how many app you have in the folder, it changed the numbers too)
I wanted to change it back to my original font but it wouldn’t let me anymore, I downloaded other fonts but it still doesn’t work..
My friend told me the original font for S2 ICS is [Roboto-regular.ttf]…
So, I try and try and try, finally, it allows me to change the font and it ask me to reboot.
Okay, I reboot my phone, then the phone starts and keep on loading at the “S Samsung Galaxy S II Logo’ and I wait and wait, it still doesn’t do anything..
Im thinking of my phone was BRICKED..Then I ask my friend straight away about it…What he told me was it is just “BootLoop” (not sure what is that)…
He ask me to do these steps..
1. Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button
2. It then directs me to CWM, It gave me 6/7 choices… (reboot system, wipe data, wipe cache and few more)
3. 1st I click reboot system (still doesn’t do anything), then 2nd I click wipe cache ( click yes and then I click reboot system again), not working also…
4. then my friend ask me to clear dvcache and clear all data, he say it will lose everything…
What should I do now ?
I've saved my contacts in my SIM..gallery, apps doesn't care anymore..
If so, do i need to reformat my phone ?
It won't help you so don't wipe

So can you go into CWM? (Volume up+home+power). Clear the cache and dalvik cache. Then go to install zip from internal SD(depends if you put in phone storage or micro SD.). Find the file from the above and install. Then reboot. Should be fine then.

I manage to get into CWM and I've done the wipe cache step...but for the dalvik cache(my friend told me that it will erase all your phone data files- reformat)..
If not, what does dalvik cache do ?
and i also cant connect my phone to pc /.\ zzz

Dalvik cache is just for the apps data. It doesn't reformat. Its not much actually. Just that it might cause errors with you don't wipe it. Hmm. Put it in micro SD card then. Install from external SD and reboot.
Sent from my potato.
When your phone starts up, the Dalvik Virtual Machine ( Dalvik Cache) looks at all your apps and frameworks, and creates a tree of dependencies which is stored in the dalvik-cache. This allows applications to run in an optimised state (and explains why your phone takes longer to boot up after applying a new rom, it’s rebuilding the cache.)
SO when flashing new roms without wiping dalvik cache sometimes will result in Force Close issue due to Dalvik VM skipping the caching process for apps as it detected existing app cache.
To connect your phone to the computer, connect it and in CWM go to "mounts and storage" . The last option should be "mount usb storage". Then you can move the file written above

Guys, dont worry anymore, someone helped me out with the problem
*The jellybean flash doesnt work with my ICS (sorry, i didnt mention it at first)*
but after my friend tells me what to do by using this
https://www.box.com/shared/dec6a13337a23f54906c
it finally works !!!
now my phone is back to normal and my font has been changed !
anyway, you guys can now lock the thread if you want...i really hop this thread will help those people who encounters the same problem as me
I was running AOKP 4.3 and downloaded the latest 10/30 update. I flashed in CWM recovery and everything took as normal. I wiped cache and dalvik and then rebooted. Apps updated as normal and lockscreen presented. I unlocked and immediately received two force closes (timely & swype) if I click them or not, if I unlock or not, the phone will crash and reboot every 6 or so seconds. Luckily, if I'm quick, I can reboot into recovery. I am in CWM but my external SD card won't mount so I can't load anything onto it and attempt a new flash and the only rom file on my internal SD is the one that got me in trouble here. I've gone back into recovery and attempted to wipe data/factory reset/etc. and nothing changes. Internal storage won't mount when I'm connected to my computer with a cable.
I don't mind losing everything and starting from scratch. I've tried to seek out my own info but there is SOO many threads and videos and I don't know where to start. Can someone please tell me the most efficient way to get back to a clean start? I was on JellyBeans from 1-22 and looking back that was probably more my speed. I shouldn't have tried to switch to 4.3 at all. I was able to run AOKP for about two months without issue but I seem to be out of my element here.
Can anyone smarter than me please take pity on me here? Sorry to waste your time as well.
Try just wiping the system, reflash rom and gapps. I think this keeps your apps in tact, if just not just use tb and restore. Otherwise full wipe sounds necessary, but not horrible. Just restore everything with tb
