Galaxy Player 3.6 YP-GS1CB/XAA Stuck in Boot Loop - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

I have a Galaxy Player 3.6 YP-GS1CB/XAA Nothing was modified from the factory image, It went dead while a game was running and now when I start it, it comes up with the samsung logo and restarts. I havent been able to get it connected to the PC either. I left it charge for hours, when off the charge icon doesnt come up on the screen either. How would i reset it to the default rom, I havent been able to get it to start in download mode either, if im doing it right.
I have a few of these around so I did try putting a full charge battery in it and using its battery in another player and the other player works fine, the battery is full. So basically its stuck in a boot loop and I would prefer fixing it myself then sending it off for repair if possible, any ideas?
Edit: I managed to get into recovery mode and reset it to defaults but its still stuck in a boot loop after recovery and clearing caches, I can now get it into download mode, it seems i need to reflash the stock firmware if possible. Where could I download it and how would i flash it? I have another player available if i need to download the firmware off of it

if your device has a physical home button, it is eu/int
if your device has a capacitive home button, it is usa
you can find the files here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741
this wont be 100% default, you will have root too
you will need to use odin in windows, do NOT check "repartition", just check PDA and load the factoryfs.tar.md5 file (at least i know thats the filename for usa version, as that is all i use)

My little brother ran into the exact same problem with his Galaxy Player 3.6 he sent it to me to try and fix. The problem is identical to the one you had. My question is, do you recall how you were able to get it into recovery mode? I've tried pressing the Power and Down button which does bring me to the "Warning Custom OS" screen but as soon as I try pressing the Up key it just reboots and goes back to the Samsung screen.

Keep holding it.

Hello,
Try these steps:
1. Download stock rom (tar file/for EU or US, if you got the US edition, download factoryfs.img and normalboot.img and repack them both into a tar file, maybe with 7zip)
2. Download and install Samsung Kies for the drivers
3. Download ODIN3 (This is a flashing toolkit, just search on the internet for it and make sure you download V1.85 or higher)
4. Take out the battery from your player and wait a few seconds
5. Put the battery back into your device and wait also a few seconds
6. Boot player into Download Mode
7. Open ODIN (odin3.exe)
8. Click "PDA" button and select the tar file which includes factoryfs.img and normalboot.img
9. Make sure nothing except "Auto reboot" and "F.Reset time" are checked
10. Connect device and wait until ODIN recognizes it (you will "Added!!" in the white box
11. Click "Start" and wait until flashing process is fully finished
12. Unplug and reboot!
Good luck!
If this helped --> Let me know and hit thanks
If not --> PM me or answer the thread
For future --> Please post questions in the Q&A thread, thanks

i had the same issue with my galaxy 3.6 media player, the only difference is after the annoying ass bootloop the player just stopped turning on entirely. is there any way to fix this? my pc wont recognize it, it wont start up at all, so i have no idea if its even taking a charge. any help would be appreciated greatly...

Try to charge the player completely and take the battery out for 15 seconds. After that you need to go into download mode, download Odin, and load a stock ROM that fits your region. Fill it in as PDA and press start.
If that didn't work then you can try to download a kernel that best fits your device aka clockworkmod recovery and put in PDA and press start. After that your device should boot up in the recovery.

I think I have the same story.
I have a Samsung Galaxy player 3.6 model: YP-GS1CB/XAA, that seems to be dead. I have looked a long time at different ways to solve this own my own and am at a dead end.
Symptoms:
1. Device shows only the Samsung Logo when I try to turn it on, looks like it is in a reboot loop.
2. When hooked to a charger or computer, it shows a small pinwheel on screen.
Actions: I hold down power and volume down buttons to try to go into Odin download and the logo goes away(blank screen). Then it vibrates and logo reappears. If I continue to hold the buttons down it just repeats, hence reboot loop.
I tried the restore mode, power and volume up buttons with no results.
I attempted Odin and Unsoft Brick. Both did not recognize the device. I also tried two different windows computers and different USB ports. Still no progress.
Question: Do I have a brick or is there some other way to breathe life back into my little toy?
Thanks for any light you might be able to shine on this.

Yes, first download a ROM, choose from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741 try the Original ROM. Then boot into recovery by pressing Home, Volume Up and Power Button at the same time while the device is off! Then flash the ROM. Just ask if you need questions/help.

Have you tried the hardware jig? That is a guarantee getting it into download mode.
How are you trying to enter download screen? Did you disable voodoo first?

If it boots on its own without pushing power, take battery out and plug in usb, hold only volume up and down replace battery and should jump right to download. Bricked my phone every way possible, by now I can get out of almost anything.

Are you sure you installed the samsung drivers right?

I'm pretty sure if those options didn't work your Vibrant is a hardware locked one. You may want to try the hardware jig as mentioned above. I've fixed my hardware locked vibrant countless times with that little tool

well after tons of hours and trying every way i came to the concusion that the usb port might be damaged or corroded on the phone, like ive stated before my other vibrant connects perfect to the computer,,and on this phone i can wiggle the cord by the phone and you can hear it connect / disconnect from computer, but it still it not recognized by the comp. and so i dont think the jig would work becuase u would need a good usb connection to begin with,im thinking my gf got some water / snow or somthing in the port corroding the connection, i took a magnafying glass and seams like there is some green corrosion in the port.
nevermind ...........
Also bricked my phone - Will the jig help?
After trying to install Froyo through Kies and failing, after trying to put stock ROM with Odin and again failing, i got the phone to the state that the only thing I get when powering up the phone is the picture of "phone --! -- computer". It is not trying to boot at all.
Will the jig help to get it into download mode? Are their any other ways to bring it to life or it is total brick?
Tnx

Pull everything out of your phone (battery, sim, sdcard)
Open ODIN on your PC and plug the USB into it (PC)
Put the battery back in and hold down both volume e
keys
Plug the USB into the phone
Should be in Download Mode and you can let go of the volume keys.

Try one more thing... Pull the battery and put it back in so your phone is off...plug in the charger so you get the charging screen...now when you see the charging icon hold in both volume buttons and the power button. You will see the icon flash off and back on then flash off and back on ...now when it flashes off for the third time...let go of the power button only..keep holding the volume keys
see if it will go into download mode that way
i had tried all of these methods and the jig...none of them worked...ervery time the screen turned on, it was the phone ! computer screen....no charging screen, nada..no matter what i did
ok try this too, pull batt,,,plug in charger,,,put batt. in then as soon as it lights up pull batt again,,then put back in fast,,then pull again as soon as it lights up ,do this 4 times and see what happens,,,my phone will get stuck on the samsung screen,and no matter what i do it gets / stays stuck like that untill i do the batt pull reinstall 4 times .then on the 4 th time i leave batt. in and phone boots up normal

[Q] Possible brick

Phone charged up overnight, and after half an hour of listening to music, I noticed the battery had fallen to around 30%. I then rebooted the phone, but it did not boot up. Cannot seem to enter any recovery/download mode.
Rooted running the Omega ROM. Haven't done any modifications to it for a good couple of weeks. Any chance of salvation?
maybe the battery gone bad? did u try with other battery?
Maybe, but I forgot to mention i somehow entered emergency recovery mode earlier (once) which would suggest its not? How do you enter that mode?
i've heard of that emergency recovery mode, but never actually seen it or know exactly howto trigger it. try vol up+vol down+home+power
Thanks that worked.
Now in 'emergency dload mode (arm9 mode)'
Where do I go from here?
so hows that recovery looks like? got any menu selection like normal recovery such as wipe data etc? if got, try to wipe data.
Nope not like a recovery mode. All it is is the Samsung logo with the 'emergency dload mode' text...
frankly we all here doesnt know exactly what the purpose of that emergency recovery mode.
try to connect your phone with odin and see its detected. maybe u can flash stock rom from it.
if it doesnt work either, u can try to force the device into normal download mode and flash with odin. first take off the battery, wait for around 5 seconds, hold the three button combination for download mode and while u still hold those three buttons, reinsert the battery. it should go into download mode and u can flash stock rom via odin.
Thanks for help. Will give it a go, and let you know the results....
If it treat it like a normal download mode, am I right in thinking I just follow the normal procedure for flashing via ODIN?
Ie, follow this tutorial: http://acetips.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/upgrade-ace-odin/

Thanks for everyones help.
Managed to get it to the 'downloading' text, where I eventually managed to flash a stock ROM via ODIN, so I'm now unrooted.
Problem still remains where it won't boot up without being plugged into a power source, so taking it back tomorrow. I believe the battery somehow died and may have taken something else down with it...

While using odin, I screwed up my galaxy yp-g1. (i think for good)

I have a samsung yp-g1 player. I was trying to flash the stock rom and something terrible went wrong. It was hanging there for like 40 minutes. I unplugged it from the usb and now when I push the power button, I see
phone, exclamation point, and computer. I purchased one of those galaxy jigs and all it does is load the same screen after 6 seconds or so. It will not go into download mode for nothing. Is there any help available? I greatly appreciate it.
Wrong section to post dude
Same thing happened to me with my galaxy player 5.0 just connect it to your computer and use heimdall or odin and it should flash back to stock

Same here. That exclamation mark screen IS a download mode. Connect it to your computer while it's showing that screen and reflash whatever ROM you were trying to.
Sometimes that kinda stuff happens when the flash gets screwed up, but should be easily recoverable.

It's weird but once you install heimdall drivers you have to REINSTALL the drivers Odin uses, also it's best to use a different USB then the one setup for heimdall, but yes that is the "forced" download mode.
ok I'm making progress. I now have it out of the "Force download" mode. I flashed the stock "yp-f1cwyxaa" tar (device is a yp-g1cwyxaa) and now it just loops from samsung word to boot animation and repeats. What do I do now?

OK, this can be kinda tricky, hold volume up and power till it shuts OFF, keep holding both buttons till it turns back on, then release just the power button, this should get you into the stock recovery, from there "wipe data/factory reset" and "clear cache" then reboot, it should boot up now. The tricky part is telling the difference between the bootloop starting over and the player powering off and back on.
Perfect... It works now. Thank you all for helping me with this. Damn, I'm glad to be born in this era where help is readily available. Thank You very much

Bricked S3

I flashed a kernel on my S3 via recovery and then reboot my phone. It goes to a black screen now. When I pull the battery and power on holding volume down to go into recovery the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo keeps appearing and disappearing until I let go of the volume down key. Then it's stuck at the same black screen. When I try to put the phone in download mode to re-flash via odin it does the same thing. I'm pretty sure I'm fu*ked, but I just want to make sure there's not a way to fix this. Any ideas?

Don't worry..i have done worse things with my phone and yet to brick it..
Fist thing to go into recovery you hold vol up + power + home and not vol down..
Second thing what you will have to do is after the Odin flash..press and hold vol up+power+home..you will boot into the stock recovery..from here do a factory reset but mind you all the data on your internal sdcard will be lost when you do this..now reboot your phone..your phone will boot up properly now..assuming that you have flashed the firmware properly in Odin..

As zoot1 replied to you for download mode press vol down+home+power for a few seconds......for recovery vol up+home+power.........
And make very sure the kernel you flash is compatible with your phone and firmware!!!!!!!!!!!! The rest zoot1 explained in his reply
Good luck

Anyone have an idea what I've done.... Black screen with blue light. I can get to the recovery menu, clockwork is installed, but I can't flash a rom. The only way to get the phone to stay off is by removing the battery.
This is a Cspire L710. I've attempted to flash a Cspire_nandroid_stock zip, the phone will find it but can't open it. I missed a step somewhere I guess. I had it in download mode but made the mistake of trying the factory reset-which changed that.
I've also tried a couple of other roms with the same results.

Need Help! SGS3 stuck at boot logo.

Hey,
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 GT-i9300 that wont boot up (it only shows the samsung logo).
Ive rebooted, removed the battery but no success. The only thing that works is download mode. It is still stock (not rooted).
I know theres some similar threads already however theyre rooted with custom roms. Any suggestions? What can I do?

You could try reflashing your firmware via Odin, you can download it from Sammobile quite easily

The only things stopping me is that the handset is still completely stock and under warranty. I dont want to try it and risk losing that warranty...
Try go into recovery and factory reset

How can I get in to recovery? Power+VolDown+Home only put me in download mode with no other options.
Hi recovery is different. Power+home+vol up

Thanks, tried it, failed.
I turned teh phone off, held power+home+vol up until I saw the logo and then it didnt go any further.

If you flash a official release from sammobile it should not increase your binary count, thus leaving your warranty intact. It is when you root or flash a custom Rom your binary will increase.
Worst case you need to use triangleaway if counter increases

If anyone's interested, I had to return the phone under warranty where they replaced the main PBA.
The combination to get to recovery is this (for future reference)
Vol-up + home + power button. Once galaxy s 3 logo pops up quickly let go of the power button and hold in again then let all three go once in recovery.

You guy´s soft bricked your phones thats why u dont get any where re-flashing, but heres something worth trying without risking anything!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JUST GET YOUR SAMMY STOCK ROM FIRST FROM THEIR SITE
Use this Odin version >android.gs/download-odin-1-85/.
Above the country code and you can know the three-letter code which applies to your country. Now look for the date of release and select an appropriate update release for your phone.
Step-4 Rebooting
Reboot by holding Home, Volume Down and Power buttons. Remember you need to hold the Volume Down button and not the Volume Up button as in the first step. You will get into the download mode. So, you phone is now ready to get the firmware via USB.
The phone will flash a warning about the dangers involved. You should not worry as you are putting the firmware back on the phone.
On the computer, now unzip the Samsung firmware folder you downloaded from the official website. Now extract the .md5 file.
Now open Odin, select.md5 file in the 'PDA' section of Odin.
Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked.
Connect your Galaxy S3 to your computer via the USB lead. Odin will automatically detect the phone and a pop-up message will show. Now start the process of transferring the file.
Step-5
Wait for the file to download. Odin will show 'PASS!' in the box once the transfer is successful. And the phone will then, reboot.
If it hangs on the Samsung logo, don't worry reboot into the recovery mode by holding down Home, Volume Up and Power buttons. Wipe the data/factory reset and reboot.
This will in all chances bring your phone to a functioning mode. Sign in and start working.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The extent of you phone being bricked may vary, but the symptoms are often the same -- a reboot loop, switching itself off after the Samsung logo or never getting into the operating system. As long as you can get into the recovery mode, there is hope to recover the Samsung Galaxy S3,
no success
Hi guys,
your solutions are great but in my case it didnt help at all.
My phone still stucks at logo. Only download mode is possible, but odin wanted a pit file always when i tried to download the sammy firmware rom. After all i even downloaded the pit file GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit. But even with the pitfile and Re-Partitioning it didnt function at all.
My SGS3 T-Mobile can not start at all.
PLEASE HELP ME, i am helpless.
with best regards
