I've experienced the same problem before when trying to reverse the dd command to install my rom, and a flash back to stock was all that was necessary.

Anyway, I'm on spring break and today I've managed to port cwm 5.0.2.7 to steves kernel! (steves is based on cwm 3.0.0.5) It might fix the bricked after nandroid backup problem, though I've never actually experienced it. No ETA yet, but I'll release it once I get proper ext4 ghetto lagfix working.

Well, from start to finish: Flash Steve's kernal (no problem), enter cwm, make nandroid, bootloop, try to flash my own backup, first fails with phone to PC image, reflash then stuck at plain (no pulse) Samsung text, get errors posted above, then flash kwipper's stock (no repatition, just factoryfs.rfs and zImage), bootloop, wipe data and cache = fixed!

sorry about that it's fixed now.

My experience so far:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 8Gb (YP-G1CWY/XAA).

I installed Steve's kernel (followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1377771 ).

Installed a CM7 mod (following http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1517194 ) but that resulted in a bootloop.

Decided to follow the instructions in this thread to return to factory ROM. Everything flashed ok, but aftewards the Home button didn't work anymore. (I now realize that I had flashed the International firmware, because the US link in the first post pointed to the International ROM instead of the US ROM).

I was unable to get back into download mode; the secret keypress just didn't work anymore. So, I used the ROM Manager app to 'reboot into recovery'. The device rebooted to the 'android recovery (e3)' screen. I was stuck at that screen. I could use Vol Up / Vol Down to change the highlighted line, but couldn't make a selection as the home button didn't work. Rebooting the device put me back at the same 'android system recovery (3e)' screen.

I killed a usb cable, added a few 100k ohm resistors (more or less following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841512 ). This got me back into download mode. I downloaded the US version of the files from the thread (the link was changed today to point to the US Rom). Flashed with repartition, when the device rebooted it went back into the 'android system recovery (3e)', but this time my home button worked. I choose reboot system. The device rebooted, but returned to the same screen.

I then flashed steves kernel. Now the device boots into clockworkmod system recovery. Choosing 'reboot system now' causes the device to reboot, but it always returns to CWM Recovery.

I tried flashing the bootloader (using the one from the US .zip file from this thread), but I get the below error in odin:

<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> param.lfs
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

At the moment, I am stuck booting into CWM Recovery and I still cannot get into download mode, except with the USB jig.

Any hints/advice on how to get this thing booting to something other than the recovery modes would be greatly appreciated.

Followed instructions on second post failed with results like the above post... also tried with .pit file from the other post that got it fixed http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1545336&page=3
