have u flashed another rom?you need all music player files
like
lib
perm
app
etc
.
without it won't work!
well ive managed to get cwm on it and i can flash roms.. now i have a new problem and i cant figure it out.. doesnt make any sense. After a restore I cannot reboot. it gets stuck on a little spinning wheel then shows an empty battery symbol. but the battery has plenty of charge. and when that happens i cant get back into cwm or get it to boot i have to reflash the rom and cwm kernel.. any help here would be greatly appreciated.. starting to think i wasted my money on this thing.. even with stock rom it wont reboot.. what would cause this? bootloader? thats the only thing i havent tried flashing cuz i dont wanna brick it for good.

Hello, i am android newbie, but i use my 5801 for a few months. But with help of this forum i make from my stock phone pretty good machine for me. Everything was perfect, i instal cwm,root, kernel g3 2.4 oc,setcpu, bassbeats,... A still no problems. But two days back i tried to instal BLN via SGS kernel flasher within android. During flashing kernel it was o.k. but at the end phone freeze a take did not reboot. Just screen stay for 10 min same. So i decided to hold power button and turn off phone. After that all the user apps were gone. So i decided to recovery via cwm from backup. after that phone started , still no user apps, only system apps and no possibility to install anything cause task manager in phone showed 0kb data , like rom was not mounted or i dont know... I started panic and wipe everything boot, cache, sd,data ... just all. And reflash kernel 2.4 back to stock
After done that it was totally in ....hole. Phone could boot to recovery but, could not start android. Just logo "samsung" is still on the screen. I tried to instal firmware( samsung 5800 xwjpi with files sbl.bin and boot.bin through odin but still same...Only boot animation is changed now...And still is just shining "samsung" logo. Is there any chance to repare that? I think i should install bootloader but i am not sure how. Or is it automatically doing by flashing rom? Pls help if u can. Many thanks.

So, it looks problem is solved. I tried to flash froyo kyrillos rom 9.7 and phone finally works. Now I only need to solve problems with freezing, after flashing it happens two times during one hour Updating to 9.7.1. actually not possible cause download servers down...Maybe tommorrow. And why did you say i should install just CM 7 ?

I think it's kernel related problem. Try to flash CM7 or Kyrillos 10 or use PuruKisadHybrid
It is possible that was only temporary problem as looks , freezing has never repeat again . But after your advices i tried flash cm7 i now use cm7 kyrillos 10.6. Just testing , only well known gaming issues yet. But now i know flashing is so easy :victory:
I have a p5113 and it is running 4.2.2 it is a friends. It turns on all the way to the homescreen for about 30 seconds. Then it reboots. I have gotten into recovery and it lets me wipe data factory reset. Then when I go to reboot it shows an error below the android and there has been no data wipe when it reboots. and reboots and reboots.........It also says NO COMMAND when booting recovery below the android. OH, I also tried flashing another stock recovery. Did not fix issue with recovery.
I have gotten into download mode and tried to cf root. Doesnt work, no recovery. Still same as above just goes to stock with no command written at bottom then error when you go to reboot it. Tried both versions of CWM and TWRP Odin files. DONT WORK. Tried to flash recovery by zip and get signature verification failure.
I figured oh, I will do what I always do to tablets try and reinstall the firmware. Which is the 4.2.2 firmware I go ahead and odin it, everything looks fine, it did take way too long like an hour and half. Passes, reboots, same operating system same data didnt change a thing! Still rebooting still recovery errors. Tried to downgrade to ICS and it passed after an hour and a half of slow odining NOTHING again same story as JB didnt change anything.
I have noticed that there is an avg in apps. I never get enough time to uninstall it. It always reboots before I can get to it. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

not a brick and I am on stock if you would have read the OP you would know that. I have had a brick before the definition of a brick is a device that does not turn on. I have flashed many tabs with stock and customs. Thanks for the great advice but I am a member of XDA and I like to do things myself or with the help of others in my community. I REFUSE TO TAKE ANY ANDROID DEVICE TO CUSTOMER CARE THAT STILL TURNS ON>

i like your confidence brother but i was just helping you
also with your threads title in thought you were still having bootloop
also boot loop mainly happens when system files interfere with each other and result in instability during boot and crashes also it is not always necessary that in boot loop device would not turn on as you said earlier
i have seen boot loop on my tab even during charging animation as it was off it was due to use of flashing scripts that conflicted with each other
So I had a problem where I had issues getting a ROM onto my phone after entirely formatting it.
Some kind members helped me to get the phone running again and then getting TWRP 2.6.3.1 on it with the 4.1.2 build.
This was flashed to the phone using Odin after using E-Z Unlock 1.2 to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP 2.6.0.0.
I saw some random issues when I would reboot or power off and on with it locking on the Samsung Galaxy S III logo... but the phone rebooted eventually and I was able to continue use.
Fast forward to today -- for the first time in awhile, my battery fully discharged. When I got home, I plugged in and tried to power on my phone. Locked at the Samsung Galaxy S III logo... EVERY. TIME.
So I go into recovery... I find that the first thing that greets me is a message asking me for a password. This is odd, since I never put a password on anything... I try to mount the system/cache/external partitions. I try to factory reset to try a different rom. I'm told it works but there's a failure message because of E: cannot decrypt data. I try to flash a different rom anyway. It says it was successful. I flash the gapps, more success messages. I try to reboot and again I'm locked at the Samsung Galaxy S III logo.
Random side note -- sometimes my Samsung Galaxy S III logo has a blue android cat of some sort on it... not sure where that came from (one of the CMR flashes when I was trying to fix the phone, methinks).
It's so strange -- because I was obviously able to load a custom ROM with the current bootloader and recovery -- and now after my phone's battery drained, I'm back to being dead in the water... I really need to get to the bottom of having my phone boot into a ROM reliably.
Previous ROM was Gummy Nightly 01-06-14.
New flashed ROM is CyanFox 2.0.2.
Please help. I need my phone up and working as soon as possible here, I'm expecting important calls in the morning, so this is horrible timing.

At this point I would take the phone back to factory stock, are you able to boot into Odin mode?

Yeah -- I can boot everywhere, pretty much.
I ended up formatting everything... I tried CyanFox again, but after install, it was throwing errors all over the place (not sure why).
I then formatted everything again and loaded up Gummy... it seems to be working relatively well.
I'm not sure what caused TWRP to think it was encrypted, but I'm guessing that had something to do with the issue?
Is there anything I can do to try to prevent this type of issue from happening in the future?

I know for a fact that there has been issues with the flashing of 4.4 and encryption. The best bet is to turn encryption on then off again. Now you said you never encrypted it but the Turn it on then off again approch might work here. I also know for a while TWRP had issues flashing 4.4 so it might be worth it to run CWM.
I am really not sure what happened to the phone but I will tell all I did that might have connection to the current sitiuation.
I rooted the phone a while back , no issues with root.
As internal memory is low on this phone (4 gbs) I used link2SD.I have used in past with other phones never had a issue but this time the apps which were linked magically disappeared and some wont start saying " Application has stopped working " , So I decided to , oh wait I forgot I also had TWRP custom recovery on this phone too , no issues happened with it either, yet. So I decided to restore to a backup I made with TWRP a few days ago, I have previously done this thing and it worked perfectly unlike this time.I booted to recovery then restored to that backup but when I booted back the device wouldn't start! All it was showing was the boot screen(circles moving in weird pattern) I waited around 3 hours then I decided to factory reset , I took out the battery (BAM I did a mistake here I guess) went to recovery did a normal factory reset then again I was at the boot screen looking at circles This time I gave a around 10 hours but it still didnt load up , then I took out the battery again next what I see it when I try to start my phone NOTHING WILL HAPPEN only screen turns on for like few miliseconds showing only back screen (NO KARBON LOGO OR ANYTHING) and goes off again. I tried pressing Vol Up and choose recovery mode but it wont let me go in recovery it turns off again as soon I choose okay (RECOVERY DONT LOAD AT ALL NOT EVEN THE LOGO). Please explain what happened to phone and how can I fix it. :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Hey can you please help me.I have karbon sparkle v.everything is on stock.after marshmello ota updates the phone was little bit unstable .many google apps were getting fc. Recently in decided to factory reset my device.after factory reset I can't get past the "checking connection" screen that we get after factory reset. There is no option to skip that to as usually it is available in other devices and ROMs.can u please tell me how can I fix this.can I flash stock 5.1 via stock recovery ?or maybe 6.0.1 again? I can't bypass the screen so I cannot switch on USB debuinging else everything would have been OK ?.please suggest something
Phone stuck on "Checking Connection" screen after trying to flash stock rom.
I have tried looking at every forum my mind can handle and haven't been able to get any luck.. I'd really appreciate any help.
Device: G930A
I've been trying to fix without posting for help for a few days, I rooted my device then a day later it started acting weird (not being able to send texts on Samsung standard messaging app, then not installing apps downloaded from the play store then it went to not being able to use data on almost every app except Insta and default internet..
I don't know what else to try after attempting the stock flash to fix.. Odin says a few different errors depending on which file(s) I use.
Thank you guys and gals so much for any help you're able to give!
Boot to recovery and clear the caches
If that fails, factory reset
If that fails, flash stock
