[Q] Help with bootlooping Galaxy Player 4.0 - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Followed instructions to flash KlassicRom and am now bootlooping.
Installed Steve's Kernel and booted into CWM where I made a backup.
Then back to odin to install KlassicRom R5 - no errors but on reboot just bootlooped.
After waiting 15 minutes with bootlooping, I booted into CWM to restore. Restore indicated success but on reboot, now just get Samsung boot screen with Steve's android guy in the corner. Stuck on boot.
I can still reboot into CWM and Odin recognizes the player when in download mode, so I'm hoping it's recoverable.
Anyone available to guide?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Boot into CWM and
wipe cache
Factory Reset
go to advance and Wipe Dalvick Cache
then exit CWM and reboot.

Tried the wipes before. Did so again.
No errors reported with Wipe Cache
No errors reported with Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache reports:
Dalvik Cache wiped.
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Reboot hangs at Steve's Android guy and Samsung again.

R5 don't work with steve's kernel. It only works with klin kernel or terrasilent.

Downloaded and Odin Flashed R3
Odin reported PASS
on reboot, bootlooping again.
Booted into CWM and Wiped Cache, Factory Reset, and Wiped Dalvik, then reboot.
Bootlooping still.
Same error messages as before when boot hung:
No errors reported with Wipe Cache
No errors reported with Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache reports:
Dalvik Cache wiped.
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Then bootlooping.

US or international, if US there is a stock but rooted ROM on here somewhere (not the full restore using heimdall), i'll look for it later that you can use to flash back with odin then boot into STOCK recovery and wipe data and factory reset that is what got me out of the bootloops when I first started flashing.
here is the link if your running the US model http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512331&highlight=stock+rooted+4+0

Downloaded the stock rom. Odin flashed. Booted into stock recovery and did factory reset/wipe.
Rebooted to joy. Thanks!
Might wait a bit before trying to flash the custom rom again.

Flash the terrasilent kernel and use that version of CWM to make a backup, its a much newer version and backs up things the older misses, also don't have the USB cable connected to the player when your in CWM thats what seamed to throw me into the bootloop, As long as you stick to Klins ROMs only (not using any of those CM7's or anything based off CM7) what you just experienced and solved with the "stock" ROM flash is the worst case scenario when flashing only variations of Klin's ROM with Odin.

Help help helllllppppp

Hi Guy,
I got a BIIIGGG problem.
After doing some VERY quick research i decided to get started by rooting and installing VillainROM, which worked lovely...no probs, however because there was a lack of themes (the main reason i rom'd the phone), I was swayed to go for Cynogen.
After downloading CM7.1 and installing through CWM my phone will not boot.
I have tried to do a factory reset through CWM, wipe the cache, and reinstall VillainROM but to no effect and stupidly i didnt backup my data.
Any advice on what i can do or have I bricked my phone?
What does the screen show? Can you get into download mode or recovery? Have you tried flashing the rom twice? This worked for me in the past.
Ricey
yep i can get into recovery and download mode, but when i boot the phone no joy
Ive tried installing the rom several times
Try formatting /data, /cache and /system from CWM recovery before flashing the new ROM.
If that doesn't help flash a stock ROM from Intratech's thread in the dev section via Odin.
1st- Boot into recovery.
2nd- wipe data/factory reset
3rd- wipe cache
4th- go to advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
5th- go to mounts and storage - format/system
6th- go to install ROM from SD card - select the ROM you'd like
7th- reboot system DO NOT TOUCH MAY TAKE A WHILE
8th- let it sit for 10 minutes once its booted so all the cache can build back up
9th- reboot, set up, and enjoy!!
Hope this helps!
Enzopreme you are a legend many thanks indeed

[ISSUE/WORKAROUND]Strange Problem while flashing a ROM from CWM Recovery

I'm currently getting strange issue while flashing ROM from CWM recovery and in process of finding solution for the same. Meanwhile, I thought it would be better to create a thread so that anyone else who has same issue as me will find it useful or someone who has solution can guide me.
Phone Details
S2 with 32GB Class 4 memory card
Issue Description/Repro Steps
Issue started when I moved from CheckROM v6(GB-Siyah 2.6.1) to I9100DXLP9 (4.0.3).
Steps:
1) Flashed DXLP9 through ODIN(went smoothly), rooted with CF root v5.4 given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 thread.
2) Used Triangle away to reset binary counter
3) Rebooted in recovery, wiped data/cache/dalvik cache, now while wiping dalvik cache I got an error E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext], but dalvik cache got wiped.
4) Now flashed Foxhound ICS ROM and rebooted.
5) Bootloop
6) Again repeated Steps 1-3
7) Now flashed Hydrogen ICS 4.0.4 and reboored..still bootloop
8) went to download mode, Repeated steps 1-3 again
9) Now, decided to investigate this issue little in detail and noticed that while wiping data partition through CWM was giving this error:
Failed to mount /data/.android_secure
So, this was the culprit, if data partition isn't getting wiped that means CWM is not able to write on it either but ODIN is
10) So, to experiment flashed Hydrogen ICS through CWM -> rebooted phone -> checked that bootloop was still there -> put phone in download mode and Flashed Siyah 3.1.2
11) Voila!!!! phone booted successfully with Hydrogen ICS ROM, also strangely binary counter was not increased
But Step 11 is still a workaround for ROM flashing issue, I still need to flash kernel separately after flashing ROM.
Any suggestions/questions are most welcome
Hoping to resolve this issue soon!!!
Try this:
1 Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik,
2 Install from sd card in CWM this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738.
3 Install the rom.
You may have to format /system by going under "mount and storage"

Reflash a CWM and Root Kernel should have been the next step
same problem format cache system and data
.and factory reset

Already tried those steps..still result is same.
I'm beginning to think that somehow data partition has become corrupt(same like Siyah rc6 issue) and it can only be flashed via ODIN. Still, mystery is how my binary counter is not getting increased when I Flash kernel via odin

Stuck on boot screen

Hi guys,
I just flashed criskelo rom to my phone, but I tried to do a hard reset using the code (*2767....) and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen (SAMSUNG). I've waited a long time already, left it over night and nothing.
Also I tried to recover the back up I made with CWM, but I'm again stuck on boot screen...
Any ideas on what I can do??
Thanks
go to recovery, do a data reset and wipe cache..hope this helps..worked for me a few times.

Try either flashing a stock firmware through Odin, or go into recovery and format /system in addition to wiping data, cache and Dalvik, and install the ROM zip again.

OMG THX...
I just flashed a stock firmware through ODIN and it's ALIVE!! Thanks...
(before i flashed on ODIN I restarted my laptop and it was stuck on BOOT... its like a curse omg... i had to go to safe mode to make it work again...)
Its all working now thanks
EDIT: Well... i rooted the phone again, flashed the rom, but this time I tried to make the wipe cache and factory reset through the CWM (volup+home+power), but I got stuck on boot screen again.... Guess I'll have to stay with the rom but without wiping it

If I remember correctly, Criskelo ROM does not require you to wipe anything if you're coming from a stock ROM (it does everything through the install script). So just install it and live happily ever after
getting stuck on the boot screen is normal...i did twice already while flashing new rooms...usualy for forgeting to wipe. reflashing the stock rom always works.

[Q] Bootloop on any rom, after wiping cache, data, etc.

Hi,
Last night my I9300 decided to randomly reboot and get stuck in a bootloop. This morning I took the time to wipe my cache, data, etc. through CWM but it still would not boot. I did a wipe data/factory reset, wiped cache again and installed the latest AOKP nightly, but it still will not boot.
I can start the bootloader through CWM and I can also get into download mode, but it just won't boot Android.
ADB does list my device while in the bootloop, but I get a "device unauthorized" message.
I've had bootloops before and wiping cache/data/factory reset/installing a new rom always worked, but in this case I am clueless.
What can I do? Is there maybe a way to connect logcat without unauthorizing, or authorizing from CWM, or something?
Do you have the newest CWM?? Or try any other custom recovery
As above, use the latest recovery then manually format system, data, cache preload and data/media/0

How can I do this if I cannot authorize a ADB connection?
If yours recovery works flash the newest version
If not flash a stock ROM via Odin
dalvik cache

On Cwm click advance and try wiping dalvik cache if that doesn't work install your stock rom

[Q] Inquiry i9300 about reverting and recovery and stuff

ok I went to cwm mode(power+vol up+ Home) and wiped the
Factory Reset/Wipe Data
Wipe Cache Partition
and finally wiped dalvik cache
now my phone reboots to stock but SuperSU and CWM app still there. Does that mean that my phone is still rooted? I also got Siyah kernel. Im using 4.1.2 firmware
You must flash stock ROM via Odin if you want to have stock recovery and no root
