Running CM10.1 on my GT-P3113
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] N7_X:
Okay, I've been driving myself crazy trying to find the answer to this little bootloop, and have been all over the place. So I apologize in advance if there is an elusive thread answer to this somewhere...

Here goes:

I downloaded and installed (properly) the [ [ROM] CM9 (ICS) for the Galaxy Player 5.0 USA ] by JackpotClavin. Now normally I would post my issue there, but due to me being a new member, it isn't allowed as you all know. So please bear with me.

Everything works fantastic, until I plug it in when the device is off. Then the screen and buttons light up, it shows the busy signal asterik, and gets to where it would NORMALLY show the battery next, but powers down. Now if I do something that stops the boot loop here (can't remember what right now; no internet at home) then when I plug it in, it actually boots up. But as soon as I unplug it, it kills itself as if it had no battery.

But if I plug in the device when it is already on, then it charges like normal. So I am REALLY confused here.

I already un-bricked it by myself at home when I did something dumb during the ROM restore (CWM). Set it back to stock, and it ran fine. As soon as I switch to the ICS ROM, issues :p

Now I did a little searching, and in the boot.log it references a "charging_mode_booting" I followed the file path, and found no file there. Now I am aware that I have little (none :D) experience in android until now, so that may be normal. I would post the exact log here, but since the device is bootlooping as I type, this will have to wait until I get home again and can troubleshoot :(

Anyways, I hope I'm not wasting your time. Hope you can help me solve this!

Thank you for your time

Are you charging your device (while it's shut off) via laptop, console, desktop, or anything else besides a wall charger?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iurnait:
Look under your /system/media

There should be a bunch of battery charging files. If they aren't there, find the files from another ROM and move it there.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] N7_X:
Ah thanks mate, that's what I did to get it to boot up while plugged in. Then it has the error here that if I unplug it, whole device shuts off as if the power was the only power source, but will reboot from the battery if I turn it back on.

Good idea, I'll get right on it and see if I have any progress.

Thank you both, cheers!

Strange boot loop too with YP-G70

Hello everyone ,

first thank you for all your developments.

Secondly, excuse my English but I'm Portuguese.

I spent a lot of time to read all the topics related to this problem, and I have too with my Intl Player.

Since I installed the rj 's custom kernel (r14) if my player is turned off, as I branch as a wall charger or on USB in my MacBookPro , I boot loop load as described above.

So I installed a file explorer that allowed me to see that I had none of the files in the directory system / media. :confused:

Ok, I installed adb and fastboot on my Mac , and successful (despite the write permissions only one I managed to get around) to copy the files I found there.

I was sure now it was going to fix my problem, but unfortunately, I have always this kind of boot loop charge if my player is turned off. :(:(

Apart from that , everything seems to work well , I do not even know if this is really a problem , I did not let my battery run down lest I get stuck . As long as the player stays on, no worries, battery charging well. Of course I did all the basic wipe's (data/factory, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats).

Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much information .

If someone has an idea of ​​where it may come again, or at least tell me if it's serious in case my battery is fully discharged .

Thank you ! :good:

Edit : actualy I have installed the [ROM][4.3][YP-G70]CyanogenMod 10.2 - M1 Release whith the KKernel R2.1 by KOala888 (My YP-G70 run super fast...).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
The charging mode bootloop has been a problem since the first gingerbread custom kernels and has been a problem up until KitKat. It is solved in KitKat. There is no fixing this problem in pre-KitKat custom roms without recompiling the kernel.

Here is information about the fix:

Strange boot loop too with YP-G70

Thanks for your answer. ;) I understand you be tired of answering this problem ... But everything I 've read (and I read for hours and hours , really), I thought it only happened when a USB connection to a computer, not to a wall charging.

If it's just a minor bug and I can use my YP-G70 like that, it's going well, I 'm just afraid to let the battery get to the end and did not do anything. (I also read an old post that says let the battery get to 5% and then moving into CWM mode, and let it discharge completely before reconnecting to a wall charger)...

Last question, is there an kitkat "light" version of that will go as fast as the YP-G70 I installed (4.3) ?, because really outside this bug, all is so good and speed all I 'm doing it (basic use) is really fast. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ToniOsX:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
When I was running pre-KitKat ROMs, I let the battery drain completely a few times. It does charge, when it is bootlooping. I let it bootloop for a while, say 10 mins or so and then disconnected it and started it up. Then plugged it back in and let it charge the rest of the way...

:good:

Strange boot loop too with YP-G70 (4.3) --> 4.4

Someone / ANYONE: Used Mr. Robinson's method on S3 (AT&T) to root. CAN I still get Samsung AND AT&T standard updates??? I only rooted as shown above.

If NOT, I need to understand how to unroot easily I recon...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
If you root you wont be able to install any ota updates (if there are any more coming) to unroot you would need to Odin a stock unrooted ROM. I know there is a sticky thread for unrooting with directions and the links to the stock ROMs.

IMO the 4.2.2 ROMs out right now far exceed any factory updates that will ever be available but to each their own.

-------edit-------

This is also in the wrong forum BTW. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] toy2boy:
I posted this HERE as I was specifically directed to do so from this site: General

I have NOT updated a ROM, using only stock, also I didn't install a ROM manager.

Sounds as though you are recommending I update the ROM.

I was under the impression if I didn't install a ROM manager, just root wouldn't disable my ability to get OEM updates??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Well, questions go under Help and Troubleshooting. I don't understand why someone would send you to General. That is odd. Also, in the Help/Troubleshooting/Q&A section, there is a handy "No stupid questions" thread.

You might be able to install updates, as you don't have a custom recovery (that's usually the issue). You'll most probably lose root, though. Funky things can happen, though. Safer to unroot before updating OTA, though.

~Ibrahim~
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] toy2boy:
Right, and that's what I'm getting at, because I did NOT install a custom recovery. Okay, wrong place for the post, got it - was directed by a system generated message is all.

Yeah, this is not a stupid question and I would think someone will know the answer based on the method I used to attain root, with my model phone. It either will update, or it won't. I'm trying to understand known future scenarios because I rooted.

And there is a link to UNROOTING here that the system won't allow me list, I tried.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pappcam:
If and when an updated stock ROM comes out, all you have to do is use ODIN to flash it on to your phone and them re-root. That's it. You'll then have the newest stock ROM with root.

That's what I do. I like the stability of a stock ROM but I like having the freedom to freeze or uninstall a lot of the bloat using Titanium.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] toy2boy:
Ah ok. I'll have to understand the steps necessary to do that.

So flashing a stock ROM removes root, and then re-root the same method as I used.

Thanks all for the input thus far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
To get a better idea I would say YouTube things like how to root samsung galaxy s3 for whatever carrier you have. And YouTube how to unroot for whatever carrier you have.

And I'm sure you will wonder the question of what's a good rom to use and really it would be you're taste and trail and error. And nanroid is another term of making a backup and how to restore them. I'm telling you now for future headaches learn how to make back ups and how to restore them and move your backups to you're pc.

How I do is I use twr and make a backup of you're rom that you're using. And I plug my phone to the pc and go in the folder of twr and find backups and move the file and save it the pc. But you will learn as you go. Clockwork mod is also another recovery and you can make backups with that also
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] toy2boy:
Immediately after rooting I installed Titanium Backup Pro and backed everything up, moved a copy to PC and off-sys storage.

I don't have ROM versions now, that I should get by following that link above.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
to summarize and simplify:

when updating firmware, you will most likely lose root. download root keeper from the play store to keep your superuser access https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper

understand that you may not be able to get the OTA update if you've used your root access to change any system files at all. the updater will check all that before downloading the update and let you know if you're good to go or not.

i would simply wait for an update to release and come back here to xda. in the android development section, you will find a thread that contains stock firmware, both unrooted and with root injected. you can then use odin to flash the latest release and retain root.

cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] toy2boy:
Yeah, that's exactly what my plan is now.

1) Added root via Odin (Mr. Robinson's method)

2) Downloaded Titanium Backup Pro, ran a full backup / set schedules to keep 2 copies of incremental backups weekly.

3) Downloaded various other apps taking advantage of root

4) Created a file system structure on the PC for ROOT / UNROOT

5) Made sure I have the necessary files in each folder including stock ROMs for root / unroot

6) Wrote the procedures to go both directions easily (no forgetting months down the road).

7) Automated backups from the phone to PC

8) Automated backups of ALL on PC to various external media for storage

- I included TriangleAway in case I flash custom ROMs and need to reset my flash counter.

Currently it's state is NO [as the above process did NOT trip the counter].

- My plan is to Odin flash the next stock ROM with root once available as you mentioned. [Will also update the OEM ROM to unroot at the same time.]

Being new to this (and smart phones) - I needed a method to control this device and not allow it to control me.

Now I feel a sense of stability that I can go in either direction, not lose data, and not lose my sanity in the process.

Thanks for your time!

Ok I have a question on this subject so I don't have to start a new thread.

Will our i747 do over the air updates from AT&T after being rooted? Does the phone have to be completely stock unrooted in order to take an over the air? Just wondering.
