a few days ago i flashed Steves kernel for the us yp-g1 and everything was fine until i went into cm recovery, after that i got stuck in a boot-loop. i accidentally flashed a Korean rom trying to get out of the loop. from there the power button and capacitive buttons became useless, and was not able to get to download mode to re-flash. i got a jig and now i am able to get back to download mode but the problem now is after flashing a us rom the touch screen and capacitive buttons will not respond. I'm not sure of this but i thing the Korean rom overwrote the code for the hardware to know how to use the touchscreen, power button and capacitive buttons and when i flashed back to the us rom it never fixed the instructions.
can some please give me a direction to take this so i wont be left with a $220 brick?

My guess is that for some reason, you flashed a US ROM but not a kernel.

Don't know. Search on sammobile.
If you know someone with another YP-G1 US, a dd dump can be useful too.

I've tried that one already, when i flash it I'm not able to use the touch screen and capacitive buttons......
i unpacked the file and it had "factoryfs.rfs" and "zimage", i guess the zimage is the kernel....
i also unpacked the eu file and it had "boot.bin", "cache.rfs","dbdata.rfs", "factoryfs","param.lfs", "sbl.bin" and "zimage"
i did this so i could see the differences in the 2 files and its clear the us rom file is missing some that the other had.....i'm a little new at playing with android but i'm sure one of the files the US file is missing is having an impact on some of the hardware.........then again i could be wrong.
any thoughts?

This morning I wanted to install a new rom and for some stupid reason, I forgot my phone was a Vibrant and not a I9000.
The rom installed just fine using Clockwork but once booted into recovery mode, I am unable to use the power button as the select button. Also, the volume up and volume down buttons are reversed. I am guessing that the I9000 has a home button that my phone does not.
Question is this: Is there anyway to get OUT of recovery mode? I tried to connect using adb but my computer could not find the device.
Am I royally fcked?
Don't listen to the guys on top...everyone makes mistakes..try going into download mode and flashing "Eugene's froyo that does not brick". After that flash jacs nandroid backup. I would post links but I'm on my phone....you can find the links in the vibrant bible (its one of the stickys in this forum)
Instructions to get into download mode:
Turn phone off
Take out battery
Put battery in
Hold volume up and down and then insert USB cable.
This should take you to download mode.
Then flash the roms listed above in that order through odin (also found in the Bible). Hope this helps...

Do as he said above, but also make sure you have odin opened up before plugging in usb to the phone, and make sure you have all the drivers for the phone installed. I fought with odin for about two hours my first time before I finally realized I had to have odin opened first.

Thank you guys so much. Not only does it work but now Froyo is installed!
Like jtc442 stated, Odin must be started before anything will work.
As an aside: The up and down volume buttons are reversed and the splash screen is stuck with I9000. Not a big deal, something to remind me which roms not to use.

Well done dude! Mistakes happen, glad you sorted yours out. Those are pretty normal things in froyo as far as i know so its not a ROM issue. If you want a really good ROM I would recommend Bionix ROM, its currently the top dog of Vibrant ROMs

glad you got it back working. you should be able to get the buttons working right by flashing another rom, like bionix, or some of the other great roms in the forum.
You also could have used adb to reboot it.

can you not use odin and install everything to get it back to factory settings? using the correct pit and tar files? then start fresh? download the all in one zip, and start fresh.
There is a known issue with non-Vibrant froyo ROM's with the reversed buttons, and 3.5 mm jack. As far as the recovery is concerned, I think either home or back button should serve as a select button (on the original Galaxy it is the large home button).
Hey folks. Just had a similar case (all fixed now though ). In my case, I went from stock JI6 to the Vibrant Hybrid R3 ROM, and was stuck at the Vibrant screen for about half an hour. Decided to ODIN back to JI6, which made it stuck at recovery. Fixed that by using ODIN to go back to 2.1 July stock and then back to JI6. What is it that caused the two soft-bricks in the first case? (For the record, I followed instructions to the letter) Just wondering.
EDIT: I suspect I misinterpreted the term "stock." I assumed stock meant a T-Mobile ROM, not specifically the ROM that shipped with the phone. Was that the issue in the above incident?

In many cases no, but maybe in this exact one... If not you will get stuck after the "galaxy s" screen with a black screen and uplights on the four capacitive buttons...

Did you flash any custom ROM's with kernels?
Where did you find this kernal that you've flashed?
Are you on Gingerbread, Froyo, ICS, JellyBean? (Operating System)

No you shouldnt. To make everything clear, the USA Samsung Galaxy Player has capacitive buttons. The international samsung galaxy player has a physical home button with capacitive menu and back buttons and that is one thing you HAVE to do is read the forum to see if it is compatible with your device. I understand that you are a noobie at this. There is a certain odin that will only work on our galaxy players the last tine ive read. Only Gingerbread roms (not including cm7) will have camera support. If you dont care about the camera, try cm10 when you get your kernel fixed. Please though, read what you have to do before you flash your device.

Find whatever version of Odin is the latest and greatest. I'm sure it does have something to do with it. Make sure all your samsung drivers are up to date on your computer as well. Also, try hooking it up to kies and doing an emergency frimware something or other option. Here's a little guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088809. Something will work.

I have never seen that screen before. Profresh is probably right in one sense, using Odin. which I believe 3.185 is the one, but don't think it really matters. if TWRP is not working?, doesn't make sense, don't use home key there anyway.
may I suggest the Odin and just start over returning to stock. stock ICS though. don't waste time with GB beings your device was upgraded there long ago. then you can upgrade official JB. may be an extra step but that doesn't matter, your wanting to know if HOME button is going to.
you don't use home button in either process (Odin or TWRP). maybe your phone???

One last thing before i try your suggestions..I am so confused as to which STOCK ROM to use,,I have one which is:

you can check your "Super Everything Thread" under general forum. you can find a step by step and there are youtube videos also.
I do believe just the stock is going to get you the Kernal you need. do what you want, but I think your wasting your time with GB. can you get download mode? if so just flash the stock ICS tar file. if your home button doesn't work, why would you waste your time with any recovery or even rooting.
see if that thing will boot. then worry bout any upgrades.
baby steps man. lets find out if that home button works or not. if it doesn't work, then you are not rooted and go talk to carrier for possible replacement?
NO?
The screen you showed us is not a custom recovery.

Hi,
My S2 was working perfectly and I put it on charge. About 15mins later I walked past and noticed it was displaying just the very first screen ie the one you see as soon as it starts and says Galaxy S2. Tried all the usual things like removing battery etc. I thought I might have a corrupted ROM so I have re-flashed it with Odin and whilst that was successful it is still at the same screen. I flashed it with the Australian XSA ROM. I can get it into flash mode but nothing else.
Anyone have any further thoughts?

OK thanks for the quick reply. Tried to get there but what happens is the android appears with his whirling blue bit....then it goes to black and the samsung galaxy s 2 screen again appears and thats where it stays. The only mode it will go into is the flash rom mode. In other words vol up plus power and home buttons does the above whereas vol down plus home and power gets me successfully to the rom flash screen.

The only other thing I can think of is to flash a .tar recovery from download mode(vol down+home+power).
Try the modified kernel from philz HERE You will need to match the kernel to the rom version, read carefully particularly the 2nd and 3rd posts
Just untick reboot on finish in odin and once you succesfully flash the kernel try to enter recovery from power off. Good luck

Do you still have the stock rom file that you used with odin? If not you might be able to identify the rom from the website you got it from.

Yes ...I do but again, when I repalced the ROM I didnt know which of the files to try (SamMobile)...the phone originally had an Optus ROM on it before all this happened soI couldnt readily identify which of the 4 files I found were correct to use so in the end I thought I would load the XSA file ...which had the latest date.... hoping that would work....so thats what I went with.... it was I9100XWLSH ...ahh now the penny has dropped... I need the XWLSH Kernel dont I ...butwhat does fixed for bootloop mean? Sorry if these are dumb questions but thanks for your patience

Yes, thats the kernel you need. Just get the .tar version of the kernel and flash in download mode(vol down, home, power). I'm hoping you can get a working recovery to give you a few more options. It may not work, as I suspect you have filesystem corruptions or something, but try that anyway
OK ...will try that in a few days ...again, thanks for the help

im using cm12 archidroid 3.5.14 and decided to update to 3.5.15 version last night. but the update didnt went well, something went wrong and i got 'recursive' error, and it started to boot loops.
i tried so many solutions, i odin this and that and nothing worked. i downloaded cwm 6.0.0.47 i think, and managed to install the AD rom, but now im stuck at languange selection, i cant select anything because screen support isnt working
what do i do now?
Samsung S3 i9300
You did "odin this and that"? That's never a good idea. Just saying...
I would try to flash latest AD again but with a proper up-to-date recovery e.g. latest TWRP after making a nandroid backup.

Well then, if you already flashed stock rom via odin, your data is already gone. Make sure your phone is working on stock first now. Please be aware that the first boot after each rom flash might take up to 15 min or so because the cache has to be built at first boot!
You can find the link to TWRP recovery in my signature (see My Gadgets). I suggest your read the tutorials that are linked there also for more information.
thanks again, glad to hear there's still hope. i will do as you advised.
So, in order to get stock firmware flashed and running, can i use twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar from your signature?
1st i odin the twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar, and then reboot into download mode, and odin firmware stock?
in that order? i havent done this in a long time, i've been using AD for so long without any problem, i dont really exactly remember how. i just concern about the touch screen not functioning, i really hope no hardware failures. i never experience anything like this, even in recovery mode, the touch screen doesnt work, i had to flash entire process using up/down and power button
right now i havent done anything since the last attempt ( flashed stock rom, and stuck at samsung logo )
currently., im charging the battery, will try get it up and running after the battery is full
thanks mate
