Is it set up like Win 7 is now, where basically factory restore sits untouched on a partition waiting to put you factory fresh again, or does doing a factory reset just format cache and all aftermarket apps?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greenjeans:
Pretty sure it's the latter. A factory reset didn't fix my old razr's bootloops, which were due to a changed system file (woops!)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
The latter option.

Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?

It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.

I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] v_lestat:
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.

it is CWM or Odin flashable.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html

it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.

frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...

but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.

Edit; where do I even download Odin?

Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] v_lestat:
nope no manual install. its a flash.

and google is your friend dude.

just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.

but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)

and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.

and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.

downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget

unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.

odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )

plug it into your pc.

open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)

click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar

then click start.

once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?

Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] v_lestat:
yeah but it works fine on my mesmerize and it uses 2.3.4

best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.

and where you going to get a backup rom ? does Kies do some sort of full back up ?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Oh, I guess I will try it then, just a sec...

1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)

2. download odin3 1.85.

3. flash using pda button

worked for me.

ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.

Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?

Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

What are all your partitions?

If same as the one I got I will give you this recovery.bin
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Johnsondr80:
I mean when you did the back up....i assume you used dd commands.

What partitions did you pull all this from?

Eg /dev/block/???
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
All I did was this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082288

Btw: I flashed a rom with just the zImage and the factoryfs.rfs, and now I get samsung, but it doesn't go beyond that, I can now get into download mode.

I can also get into adb shell, so I can add and remove files. I did this while trying to flash cwm, so maybe I need to change a file there?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Johnsondr80:
Look.....i am building a custom rom for odin delivery......it will only include the system partition at this time......it sounds like your system partition is faulted to me.

Now I think I can and really want to help you get back running.

To do this I need you to tell me the excact commands you used to create.the back up that you flashed and anything you may have.added or taken away.

If you followed that thread to the letter (meaning you did a dd comand on the /dev/block/sbl9)

This is your problem and I know what I need to do.

However you you did a dd command useing diffrent /dev/block/###

I need to know what they are so I have a clear understanding of the problem.

If its only your system and or data partition.....i can get you something today. How ever if theres more gping on .....it will be later tonight.

Please

Be as discriptive as possable.

Be as honest as possible

And I am sure we can fix you right up.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
OK, sorry, I was gone all day.

I followed that thread exactly, I'm talking copy & paste, only I used terminal editor, not adb.

I didn't do anything with the files, until I made a rom with zImage and factoryfs.rfs (I used cygwin to do this). I also backed up my data but didn't put it in the backup rom. Really nothing else to say, other than I accidentally used the "phone" feature first instead of "pda" in odin, but it didn't say it wrote anything, or failed, just nothing.

I did have some loose files floating around in system because of modifying, like a vold.fstab.bak.

BTW: I can also get into recovery, would factory reset, or wipe cache partition help?

Also just in case you missed it; SGP 4.0 U.S. with 2.3.5
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Johnsondr80:
Yea I missed the 4.0 part.

well what happened is you pulled the wrong parts and then put those parts in the wrong places.....

You will need a whole package odin....minus bootloaders and recovery.

The reason you cant boot is be,ause the system files are in the wrong place and cant be found to boot up.

I can however build you this whole package odin of the 5.0 minus the bootloaders and data.....it will be just a system....a factoryfs.rfs

You can flash it. Im may boot or it may bootloop. Im not sure what the firmware diffrences are. This is 2.3.5 ki8.

Or....you can go to samfirmware.com and get a froy release odin flash it and use kiles to upgrade to gb if its avalible.

Let me know what you want to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Hmm, guess Ill try your factoryfs.rfs, the froyo wouldn't work because of no physical home button

Mine is something like UEK8

Also, could you give instructions on how to pull correct files so if yours don't work someone with a 4.0 could do it?

EDIT: would "repartition" in odin help?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Johnsondr80:
Not in the one you buildt I wouldnt think.

I finally found the kernel partition

The commands are correct but the partitions were wrong

/system/ is> /dev/block/mmcblk0p13

zImage is /dev/block/mmcblk0p11

If you can get some one to pull their partitions that would be best I think. I will pm you the odin link in the tomorrow

@johnsondr80,

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:

At this point I am ready to send it into samsung, but will they still be able to tell if it rooted?

Why does your pit fail, when the bad pit sucseeds?

EDIT; looking in the pit you sent me, I see the line "YPG70_8G-0304.pit", so maybe it does matter if it is for the 4.0 or 5.0.

If someone could please send me the pit for the 4.0, I would appreciate it so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
So, in more detail here is my current situation:

I tried flashing a pit file to see if it would fix my brick, instead, when I boot I now get sent to the recovery menu and get a long list of errors in red, generally saying:"E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)" and "E:failed to mount /dbdata (invalid argument)".

So, reading up some people simply have to reflash their stock rom to fix this; should that be the case with me? Or do I need to do something about the pit?

I tried flashing the one Johnsondr80 gave me for the 5.0 but it fails.

The original one I flashed is this one: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showpost.php?p=586169&postcount=2

It is supposedly the correct one for the 4.0, but I don't know.

If someone could clarify what I need to do, and if neccisary, post the pit for the 4.0 I would appreciate it. Still waiting for someone to post the rom...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
So, I am requesting a repair service for this from samsung, but I have gotten to the screen where I select the service repair center and it is 758 miles away.

I do not see an option to send it via a package? In the repair summary box it says "In Warranty

Carry In (Repair Service)

Cost : $0.00"

How does samsung repair work? do I go to the next page and will it give me a shipping label? Or do I just send it to the address shown for the repair facility?

I don't want to go to the next page and use up my repair request if it is only for "Carry In".
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Don't worry You'll have your rom. About the red lines, you need to have your stock rom. ( I had this before)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] itasoulas:
bad news... I don't know what coolya said about definately having an official version, but after that I really doubt it boys. Honestly so far CM7.2 by vo-1 is a very good rom, in my opinion is the most complete and stable and something tells me that it won't get any better than this.

I mean even if we won't get official, our ACE is still one hell of phone with this version of cyanogenmod on. And afterall, it's just a phone!!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 5pace:
In my opinion the thing is, all ROM cookers are separately working instead all collecting under the same roof and starting a big project (pointing at MIUI). Most of the phones which have CynogenMod or MIUI are on the main index, bacause? Its because those ROMs are made collectively by many developers at the same time.

It goes like this:

The bigger the project is - the more bugs spawn - more suggestions come - more mods come for them - more fixes - more themes - which ultimately leads to more activity in that particullar forum.

So as a viewpoint from a user, I'd like if all our developers come together no matter how much education he has about Android but they can contribute to the bigger goals. Make an official ROM for our Ace with widest possibilities of modding in it. I think we would gain our position back on the main index.

So what do you guys think?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] itasoulas:
I talk about it exactly as you said in the very recent past and never got an answer for that. I absolutely agree with you.

The bottom line is this... mobile phone market as every electronics market is moving so fast that our ACE is now cosidered an old device. Keeping that in mind along with the fact that ACE happens to be a mid range phone then game is over. So if we haven't got an official CyanogenMod by now that means that will never gonna get one. Actually if we haven't got anything by late January 2012 GAME IS OVER!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 5pace:
Copy that. But the device never gets older till it gets updates from the dedicated dev's who constantly develop for it, making those phones accomplish bigger tasks than the newer phones. Samsung Galaxy S is the biggest instance, which's still on the index.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sdotmouse:
To be expected considering how fast the release cycle is for smartphones. The manufacturers hurl a dozen models at the consumer and hope one or two stick. For example in the UK a Galaxy Ace costs more than a SE Play to buy sim free. We also have "better" phones for half the money like the ZTE Blade and Crescent both £70-80 less than an Ace with arguably higher specs and a much greater user/dev community. I have ICS on my ZTE Blade which is older/slower than the Ace. My Crescent has an ICS port coming and its only been out a few weeks here. The Ace becomes unappealing to new buyers when they see this. The problem is Samsung skimped to much on this phone, they should have given us an HDPI screen and 512MB of RAM to compete with other budget/low end phones.

However, back on topic, all this decision is, is the site owners looking at number of views/clicks and crunching the numbers. Galaxy Ace fell below others and that's that no big deal as long as there is an active community. If it really bothers people not being with the cool kids there are other places to build a community.
