Yes, GrooVe IP works great on the YP-G70 5.0 u.s. version running 2.3.5 for Google voice. I've been using it for a while now.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] simonti:
how do I know if its rooted?

I am trying to root my device so I could fix my "no gps" problem. I was using superoneclick 2.1.1 to root it. In the middle of the process superoneclick could not find busybox. superoneclick ask to download busybox but it froze in the installation of busybox.

I went to busybox website and downloaded the last version of busybox and then try to root again. during my attempt to root again superoneclick said my device seem to be rooted.

I used superoneclick last year to root archos 101 and archos 70 by following the yourtube video. It was very straight forward
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] simonti:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rumirand:
I emailed Samsung and they updated the source code for YP-G70. I'll try to build the kernel as soon as possible.

I need the PIT file of YP-G70. Could someone send me the file?

To get the file:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/pit.pit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/pit.pit ./

I have a question. Would it be possible to create a ice cream sandwich kernel for this device with the source code that samsung has provided? I'm thinkin of buying this device, because im tired of my viewsonic g tablet, because it's still stuck on android 2.2, but i don't want to end up in the same postition with the samsung galaxy player.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] madsere:
I'm sorry, I know this is going a little off topic, but what's so special about GrooVe IP that makes it worth paying for? It seems it's just a VOIP client? Most better ROM's have that built in?

Or is it a way to "hack" Google Voice? I don't live in US. I have a Google Voice account but I've never been able to use it because I don't have a US number to redirect the check-call to. Is this a way around that?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rumirand:
I've recovered my YP-G70. It was bricked, but OneClickResurrector works fine with some modifications. However, I lost my partition table so now my device boots only in recovery and only recognices /dev/block/mmcblk0, but not the partitions inside there. I'll find a way to fix it.

Maybe someone can help me to rebuild entire mmcblk0 (Odin3 re-partition option doesn't work). One idea is to dump a .img file to mmcblk0 with dd.

Also I finally got a kernel built from source which boots in my device. When I fully recover my device and do some tests, I'll share the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
If you have the instructions, I may be able to get a dump of mmcblk0 for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rumirand:
Thanks Thanks.

You need a rooted device and probably a 8gb microSD (depends on the compression). In the terminal (on the phone), just run:

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1024 conv=noerror,sync | pv | gzip -c -9 > /sdcard/external_sd/backup.gz

It will take some time.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
First of all, does it matter if I omit the conv option? Looks like that option is disabled in my dd.

I manage to backup the device but it is huge, about 3G in size. Actually I did the dump after a factory reset and clean up all the personal stuff in the internal memory. I wonder why it is still so big :confused: and how I can send it to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] johnston9234:
Did you backup your SD card in the process? Your system backup shouldnt be that large
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rumirand:
Yes, you can omit that config. You get a 3Gb backup because a normal format doesn't erase the contents of the drive physically. You'll need a low level format of /sdcard in order to get a file with less size. To do that, you have to do this before you make the backup:

su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 ##here is located /sdcard (it won't affect the external_sd contents)

Now, you need to recreate the filesystem of /sdcard in order to do the backup (you need a valid /sdcard and /sdcard/external_sd). To do that, the easier way to do that is to connect the device to a windows pc, activate usb storage mode and format the drive with FAT16 or FAT32). Then, reboot the Galaxy Player.

Now, you should have a physically empty /sdcard and a working access to /sdcard/external_sd. Now you can do the backup of the device and the final size of the backup should be smaller.

Please ask if you have any questions. I'm really grateful for your cooperation.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
/sdcard is a partition on the mmcblk0 but sounds like deleting files do not clean up the space used by /sdcard. I will try out rumirand's suggestion and wipe the partition clean before doing the backup.

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

I will give it another try tonight. Now I understand a few more things about the filesystem of this thing :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TipTopFlipFlop:
Hi all im new to this just recently purchased a Galaxy 5.0 player and ive been reading about rooting it and still have no idea what it mean's and what happen's if i do it,could anyone be kind enough to tell me please?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Rooting its the process to have the su in linux (the superuser or admin if you want). After you get the root you can basically do all you want on your device (if you have a minimum in the programming universe of android). I think root it better on phone because you can thether without a plan. But I can say that is very nice for exemple if the galaxy player gets a port of clockworkmod recovery and gets custom roms, it will be much more useful. As for now I think the most principal use of root is for developpers. If you know what you are doing with the root go ahead.:D You can always search in google the benefits of root.

Hey people with bricked device you can check this. It is listed for the captivate but it works with all the devices working with odin:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242466

There the site for the download with the galaxy player support (note: this is a BETA!!)

http://code.google.com/p/hummingbird-hibl/downloads/list

I hope this helps!! :D I would like to thank AdamOutler for his great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rumirand:
In fact, it was my device which was bricked. The Hummingbird HIBL works for any device which has a Hummingbird cpu and it's in debug mode. Our player doesn't need any hardware modification to enter in that mode (when the IBL+PBL is destroyed), so HIBL works. The problem was that SBL.bin provided in the resurrector wasn't the right one, so with AdamOutler help, finally we managed to unbrick my device.

So good news for galaxy player users: Our device is now Unbrickable without any hardware modification thanks to AdamOutler, and he added BETA support for our device.

I have windows 7 64bit and ubuntu, I use odin and heimdall , if I use heimdall it trys to get pit mapping from device but cant find it, and some time it trys to upload provided pit file but fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rumirand:
Ok, download the resurrector from: http://code.google.com/p/hummingbird-hibl/downloads/list and unpack Sbl.bin from a firmware package (you may need the PIT file too... not included in the package).

On a console, run:

java -jar /path/UltimateUnbrickResurrector.jar

Open /tmp and copy the folder which Resurrector created to your desktop and Script.sh. Replace Sbl.bin with the right one for your device. Edit Script.sh accordingly.

Now, run with the combo combination to get your device in download mode (home, vol down):

sudo Script.sh

Your device should be now in download mode.

Reboot in windows and run odin. Flash the firmware twice. If doesn't work, repear the proccess and re-partition the device (you will need the PIT file).

That's it. I hope it works.

This is the only thing I am missing at the moment. I have read and tried anything that google and the market had to offer, to no avail.

I can see that there is native support for BT DUN, albeit a bit Lab_level as per android FAQ, but people with Archos Tablets running 2+ (previous generation of tablets) are doing ok tethering to their dumbphones..

Set ledkill to run as root and Save the settings. Plus I've made a widget with SMWidgets (see screenshot), now ledkill is a switch!

It is quite easy to unroot if you have the Samsung USB drivers - just follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349652 - it works perfectly. Of course it's not as convenient as OTA Rootkeeper
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] roustabout:
@tapioco: Great to see that the LED kill hack is useful.

I found that to get it to run at start time, I had to use ash to start it. sh is the default shell (if I remember right) and a lot of the stuff you weren't tracking was about getting ash available. It may be that calls to ash are normally seen and caught by a device rooted by a less-manual means than the one I used - busbyox may well set up ash all by itself if you use a Busybox installer from the market.

It may also be that it doesn't have to run from ash in your setup (although I expect you have to have ash around or the first line would break) - I could get it to work if I ran it manually from a commandline, but needed ash to get it called and working from a startup script.

guys DO NOT plug this thing into a USB hub when you are trying to root.

a USB Hub will kill any chances of rooting it.

try it, then plug it into your computer directly. and watch SuperOneClock go crazy as it roots the Player.

well i shouldnt say that SuperOneClick is just sitting here looking at me taking foreverrrr to root

its at step 7 just waiting for... something.

Hello out there!

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rjsmith2007:
Hey. I did some research. You can generate a pit file by putting your device in download mode (turn it off, press home + press volume down + power), connecting it to your PC via USB, and using Heimdall.

Install heimdall: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/

Go to the Utilities tab and detect your device, select the save location for the pit file, and click the download button.

Edit: I'd like to note that you need to install the driver for Heimdall first. Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=6TgyaUbjcm4#t=101s

Attached you'll find my generated PIT. XD
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Johnsondr80:

By this I take it every body would prefer a custom rom to be delivered via heimdall package as opposed to odin?

That's because you've never tried a Heimdall One-Click. It's way easier than Odin. It installs the drivers for you. It also works on Windows, Linux, AND Mac, not just Windows like odin. On top of that, it has several safety features which make it entirely safer than odin by a long-shot.
