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.

So I've got a wifi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" and I have gone through the rooting guide. The guide includes ClockworkMod (CWM) v4.0.0.4, which for the most part, works just fine. I'm able to flash custom ROMs, make backups, and restore backups.
I'm having a problem mounting USB storage from CWM however. I go to the "Mounts and Storage Menu" and then select "mount USB storage." When I do this, I get a message saying:
E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
Any ideas what this means, and how to fix it? Is anyone else able to mount USB storage from their CWM recovery image?
Anyone can correct me if I'm mistaken...but I believe the reason we see this error is because the Tab is not like phones and the internal storage works differently, there is no sd card so it has nothing to mount. I believe it works more like a hard drive. (MTP is different although I know nothing about it) so CWM produces this error but it is nothing to worry about.
More knowledgeable persons please expound on this, I would like to know more too...
Appreciate the insight -- I hope someone else can expand. To expound on that though, how do you transfer a ROM to the SDcard if you wipe /data and don't already have a ROM available on the SDcard?
I'm worried that I'll accidentally wipe data & cache, but will forget to double-check that I have a ROM on the SDcard partition.
Not to worry, wipe data/factory reset in CWM does nothing to the sd card partition everything will still be there including the ROM file you transferred over.
However factory reset from stock recovery DOES wipe sd card data. So back up your stuff if you do this.
Oh and always make a backup in CWM so you have something to flash in case things get crazy
I'm just trying to plan for a worst case scenario -- let's say all the storage volumes are completely wiped, and all you can do is boot into CWM. On my T-Mobile G2 (Desire Z / Vision), you can mount USB storage, copy over a ROM, and install it.
Looking for some sort of equivalent ability on the Galaxy Tab.
Hmm, let me boot into CWM and see if the computer still can read the tabs storage if I plug it in from there...
Also there is always an ODIN flash.
Nope no dice, i suppose if you were in that scenario ODIN would be your option. I'm not sure if there is an ODIN flashable of stock 3.1, I know there is a .zip i always keep it for emergencies.
Sorry I miss read, there is no ODIN flash.
Would the worst scenario is when you don't even have CWM on the tab?
ODIN flash would probably be your last resort. I am wondering if anyone has run into the worst scenario and got the tab back to the factory stock ROM.
your are right FilltheVoid. if things go completely wrong and you have no backup or rom to flash. Odin will be your savior. You can flash stock roms with Odin bro.

Hey Task, do you know where I can find a stock ROM for pt7510 that is ODIN flashable? Ya know, just in case.
Well anywho, I think the point of this is, If you read and follow directions carefully, make backups, and read some more, you will not ever be in this scenario. And there are good, knowledgeable people in this forum that are willing to help you in a bind.

Even though the question is to Task, i will answer it with whatever i know.
1. http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/sys-backup/hc_31/ - But i read somewhere that this is the ODIN flashable stock of I/O tab
2. ROM | 001002-P7510_KME_Restock.zip - ODIN flashable Stock UEKME ROM
Or you could do:
Boot cwm, then
adb shell
mount /data
mkdir /data/media
adb push stock.zip /data/media/
and flash with cwm
Voila !!!
thank you!
you just saved my tablet! thank you.
i managed to brick my tablet (or so i thought) by an interesting combination of things.
first, i installed Alegro graphing calculator. then, i encrypted my tablet. then, i tried to backup my apps, using titanium backup, and whenever it got to alegro, it crashed superuser, market, myapps, googleapps, calendar, acore...a ton of stuff. so i told titanium to ignore it and backup everyything else, and then i went to the market to try to uninstall. no dice..it force closed everything again. so i went to the settings and tried to factory reset. i went through the steps three times, and nothing happened...the tablet rebooted and was the same as i left it.
so as a last resort i went into clockwork and wiped data and cache. tried to boot, and it was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen.
rebooted..same...waiting hours...same.
i could still boot to odin and recovery, but i didn't have a zip on my tablet, so i couldn't flash anything. i never thought of using adb to push the zip! but this worked perfectly! (after installing the drivers again on my computer).
thank you thank you thank you!

Hey 2 questions about the restock ROM:
1) Can it be flashed over In Paris V5?
2) Can it be flashed with CWM?
Update: answered this myself: Yes it can be flashed over in Paris, and no, it has to be flashed with Odin.
I still have a question though: This is not CWM, but is it the stock recovery or do I need to flash that too? Sending the tab in for service (newton's rings)....
This is what I was looking for. I have a slow internet connection, and Clockwork was still working, but nothing else was. Flashed Task's ROM v8... it's looking good so far... You rock, dude.
This worked for me this afternoon! Was stuck in a constant reboot after thinking that the samsung update would be a good thing. Gave thanks!!! Ordered the 30 pin adapter and now dont even need it. Will come in handy though I am sure.

This maybe complete rubbish, but I can report a similar issue with the Galaxy S2.
When I install a new ROM, I usually do this:
1/ factory reset
2/ wipe cache
3/ wipe dalvik
4/ Mount ALL the folders, then format each one
When I do this and try to mount USB storage, it says the same error message.
If you then fire up ODIN and push another kernel to the phone, everything works fine. I know its something I am doing wrong, but no idea what!
For you, the solution is to use odin to push another kernel across.

I DID some cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and accidentaly included data wipe too..the phone rebooted and ask for goole etc etc to be filled up but then the phone died and when i tried to reboot it. I get stuck at CM7 boot screen. I tried recovery pressing power-volume down-menu all at onece and when i try to restore back up it says E: Couldn't open directory/sdcard/nandroid/ please help me please i dont know what to do
Did you move the nand backup elsewhere on your card or to your computer? Toggle USB storage and copy the nand backup back to the sdcard (and to the same folder).
no.backup was not moved ever since i created it using nand backup.and upon checking..it is still there
my guess is that the rom has become corrupt (somehow), so this is what i would do:
1. wipe everything again (as if you were going to do a fresh install of new rom)
2. flash cm7
3. once everything has booted properly, reboot into recovery and try to restore the backup
Im gonna try that one out sweet...anymore suggestions or solutions or is there anyone out there who knows exactly what to do?
Hoping your suggestion would solve this problem...Rebooting now after re-installing cm7......
Re-installed CM7 and phone went On..Tried to restore backup but to no avail....anyone who can suggest what to do?
did you rename the folder of your backup? i know that the name cannot have "invalid" characters, such as asterisks and spaces.
also try reflashing your recovery and try again.
I think I know what went wrong. Yesterday I used Amon Ra to wipe cache and dalvik cache and battery stats coz I've seen somewehere here in this forum that CWM recovery doest completely wipes caches so I used it but I forgot to return to CWM. I think that causes the problem "couldnt open file directory". Upon reinstalling CM7 rom, I flashed CWM and tried to restore backup and it did.
Nope..I never did anything with the backup...reflashing recovery solves the problem
so everything is now up and running? glad to hear that
yeah..up and running thanks
I wanted a clean cyanogemod installation on my desire z so I followed this guy's advice:
For a clean install, just boot into recovery, format the /system partition (found under the Mounts and Storage menu) and then perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. After that, you are good to install CM and gapps. This does not erase your sdcard, so if any apps stored stuff on there, it will still be there unless you manually erase it.

I didn't think it through and restarted the phone thinking I'd use clockworkmod to reflash the cyanogenmod rom. When I turn it on now it just displays the green 'htc' text on white background, none of the buttons do anything.
I've still got adb etc installed from rooting a year ago, is there a way I can unscrew this up? A million thanks.
Edit: When I start it and go to the loader screen by holding down the optical button, it gives me 'bootloader' as an option but when I select it, it looks like it scans the SD, tells me there is no image and offers to start an update. I can see it with adb but can't get a shell, it says - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -'. Is there a boot file I can push onto it?
Read one of THESE.
I believe adb push a ROM and gapps to /SD card.

It seemingly randomly booted in cwm recovery after about 30 on-offs and I loaded the cyanogen rom, not a satisfying fix but I'll take it. Thanks for your help.
help.
wont boot past cwm recovery window on the internal card
reflashing to the cm-7-team-b-beta1-signed.zip does not remedy it

What SD Card do you have and what class? Sorry I fell asleep but im back on. Also what GB Tablet do you have and what are you running? Can you still boot up and is there anywhere you can get to factory reset ( clear data ) cause thats whats looking like your problem. I had that problem on my HTC Hero CDMA I freaked and then I cleared data and rebooted back into recovery and error was gone

I did the exact same thing with rom manager on the NT. :< There should be big flashing warning signs that say "DONT DO THIS IF YOU'RE TIRED"
I wound up having to ADB to the device, completely wipe the partition table with gdisk, then rebuild it. However, the scripts to acutally format it werent avaliable anymore (Dropbox account was banned) so I then had to use the Ubuntu restore method to go from there.
I did loose the ability to run the B&N Factory ROM (wont pass registration anymore)
but at least the tablet is useable.
Dont give up, from what I understand, unless you physically BREAK the tablet in some way, its nearly always recoverable!

Ha! maybe im not that dumb after all. although the ubunut failed, the tool here worked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 but /slap! forhead/ i still have the cym recovery img on the unit ... so i think i will try this:
go back and set up the SD cm7 alpah boot that worked to boot the SD
boot in and update rom manager
install stock recovery img
then try the new link again!
as for the stick:
Sandisk - its pretty generic and came with my htc glacier...
16 bg nook table
it came with 1.4.1 image
put on cm-7-b-teamb-signed
installed few apps, *tried* to start installing gapps to get gplay and the google framework
then i got a splat
then i flashed it back again
seemed ok
it wasnt
it locked up
powered down
reboot = duuurp
after that i did not READ... booted into recovery and selected (wait for it) reset.. and cleared the user data.
after that i swore enough to get people to come to my office and look concerned... took advil... read.... cried... threatened...

Personally. I wouldnt mess with Rom Manager. That's what bricked my tablet, too.
Just make an SD card with the CWM bootables (I posted a link in your other post about noob questions) and install roms/etc from there.
I think that's what's killing my gnex!
*This Jedi master be a Ninj-ESS*
hrm i missed it? (the other thead link to bootable cym)? i did try to repartition once on another bootable build but the cym did not like it... even after reinserting it
i had that problem before because i accidently formatted the 1gb user partition while in cm7...
this link saved me. try it out!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513583
still bricked. *tried* to use rom manager to install the "stock recovery" but it still boots to a "cardboard box".......
starting to think the partitions are whacked...
what is the best partition recovery guide ??
looking at this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22157605&postcount=25
but the bootable cwm is not loading...grr
If I am correct you are still trying all of this from inside a bootable cm7 card, right?
Instead, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25786947
With that hopefully you can get a bootable cwm recovery image.
From there you should be able to install CM7.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH. DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.
I honestly think it is most of your problems

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??
