I just bought my first android phone and I followed the guides here in for my Samsung Galaxy Core. I had successfully rooted and installed CWM recovery and then i followed the guide of installing Monster ROM. Being new to flashing i didn't know that i also need to unlock the bootloader and flashed without unlocking it and now my phone is soft bricked. I can just enter in Download Mode and whenever i flash with Stock ROM it gets failed at around 90%. Please help!
Remember : I didn't unlock boot loader.

You dont need to unlock bootloader if u have a retail galaxy core.. if ur flashing is getting failed at 90% try other pc or for last resort go visit service center
Thank you!

Thanks Siddhesh, it is working now. Actually i was using the wrong ODIN that is given here in CWM Flashing tutorial. But when i used ODIN3 v1.85 it flashed the stock rom right way.

Hi Guys,
I don't know if this is the right section to post this question, I'm new in the forum.
I just kept my ex boyfriend tablet and now I'm experimenting with it, but I have a few questions:
If I want to use Odin to flash a custom kernel , let's say rj's Kernel, do I need to have the bootloader unlocked ?
How do I unlock the boot loader for Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 International version ?
Could you please help me Unlock the bootloader ? Could you please explain if I need the bootloader unlocked to install a custom kernel with ODIN ?
Do I need the bootloader unlocked to install a recovery and then do a Nandroid backup and then install a custom kernel ?
Device:
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 - YP-G70 International version.

To flash a ROM or recovery and do a NAndroid backup you need an unlocked bootloader.
To unlock your bootloader, use this Windows program: http://www.mediafire.com/?f3gi19g1zz3frg3
I hope this helps you, but don't forget, with unlocking your bootloader, all your data will be erased!

well with this device im not sure if you need to unlock the bootloader. some need the bootloader unlocked some don't. i would ask in the official forums for the Player http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-player you need to tell them its international as well.
Thanks Guys, it has been really helpful.
Could you please let me know the name of the program I have to use to unlock the bootloader for this device?
I've been reading like crazy and I understood when I unlock all data will be lost, but that's not a problem at all.
Then I would like to flash rj's kernel which comes with Clockworkmod and then from there I would be interested in doing some Nandroid backups and installing cyanogenmod.
In fact I would like to be able to do a backup even before installing a custom kernel so I can preserve the original kernel and android, I installed an application called something like nandroid backup and I managed to do a backup compatible with clockworkmod but the thing is that it skipped the boot and recovery folders, so it makes me think the bootloader is locked.
Please any comments are very welcome.
If there is anyone here from Ft. Lauderdale we could even meet in a mall and do the thing together with the laptop.
Thanks again for all your help honeys

Like I said your going to want to hit up the official forums but I'm keeping a lookout for a way. There has to be a way if there's custom ROMs already
I am in a very precarious position I rooted my phone via an application called root genius, It worked fine for a few days but now the phone is stuck in Boot-loop and will only go in a recovery my phone come with a fixed battery so I can't take that out as some people have suggested in other forums So i figured out that I need to flash a custom rom but voila that fails because my phone is rooted and does not support an OTA update Plz someone help me unroot my phone I can only go in recovery menu.
Thanks in advance to people who show concern :'(
My phone is Huawei Ascend G-630-U10. Please help.

Custom rom and OTA are very different things. For installing a custom rom, you'll need a custom recovery, for a custom recovery you'll need to unlock your bootloader first. You CAN'T unroot your phone if its hung in a boot loop.
You can download the stock firmware HERE
Thank You for replying
I have downloaded the stock firmware and i have tried installing it but that is where the problem occurs the phone says that it is an OTA update package and cannot resume the download because the phone is rooted.
So me start from the beginning , my phone C2104 was completely updated i used this method to unlock my bootloader and used flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955, it unlocked and fell into bootloop so i continued with the method used flashmode to flash C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf Stock Rom via Flash tool it worked and i was out of bootloop then i tried few method to root the device didn't workout i found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/kernel-extended-stock-kernel-v6-t2321550 followed it got the CWM recovery started then i flashed Glade Rom V-2.0 and CM11-23FEB both go into bootloop and yes tried flashmode to flash C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf Stock Rom again didn't work only errors and now guys come in need your help and guidance and thank you..
You are doing right thing but it happens because I think your on version 4.1.2
Flash the latest firmware 4.2.2 then
Use towelroot app for root access
Flash the kernel thru flashtool that u mention in post.then try it will work
Hey XDA Devs,
I have an old S2 on which I was trying to downgrade Android from CM12.1 to CM11.
CM12.1 had somehow installed it's own recovery console; using which I couldn't have flashed CM11, so for installing CM11 I tried to flash "CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100" using ODIN 1.85.
The flash completed successfully but then my phone died. It doesn't even get into download mode or recovery mode anymore.
Also, while installing CWM, I flashed the PIT file "omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit" as it was instructed on http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/how-to-root-install-cwm-recovery-flash-t1814801.
Is there any way to revive my phone?
I've already tried jig, even that doesn't work.
I need to get some data from my phone. Even if that's possible somehow?
Thanks,

marshmallow rom available for J700H not J700F
So what to do now?
If nothing passed during the flash you can try to flash the last official stock firmware you had on your phone as long as nothing has updated to the marshmallow version before you tried to update if you was on lollipop before this then try to reflash the last official stock firmware you had already installed. The bootloader isnt locked or it wouldnt of made your knox counter 1 from 0. If odin flashing stock doesnt work then you need to use smart switch to do a emergency recovery. Im use to kies recovery but it says smart switch on your screen shot.
That official stock rom is also not flashing after i flashed a5 rom...after installing the a5 rom all these problems are arising. I was not being able to come back to the stock rom after the installation of the a5 rom long back ago.
Pls anybody give any solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...p/flash-stock-firmware-using-samsung-t3079176
Use smart switch then. This is why you only flash stuff made for your phone.. flashing roms for other phones will brick you. Your lucky your even able to restore it should be hard bricked.
Hi
I faced the same problem recently , it happens coz u are trying to downgrade to a lower version of bootloader , if you have a backup restore it without checking (efs/modem) or make a flashable zip of ur original stock rom without sboot...cm...modem.bin files
The easy solution is to flash russian lp via odin
