i tried that but odin or no other software is reading the phone

because it will not install the driver....it showing as unknown device in device manager

so do you have any other suggestions?!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
1. Download and install the driver? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2038555

2. Use a different computer?

3. Check this if you can't get a working driver: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-find-unknown-device-drivers-by-their-vendor-device-id/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kings121:
i have the drivers installed but as you should know when the phone is in download mode it always update the driver so the software can recognize it and that is not happening

when in run this "lsusb" in ubuntu terminal i can see that ubuntu recoznised the phone but fail to mount it so i can flash it

Forgot to ask about the pit file, make sure to use Adam Outtler's for your model. Then you should be set. Fingers crossed.

Back to the connection issue. I believe either the usb port in the device was dirty or the usb cable. I wound up using a Samsung OEM cable.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Never use a 3.0 USB port.

You need a 2.0 USB port and a 2.0 USB cable!

OK, So when I flash with Odin - It get the the Blue Reset option...but then Odin doesn't show the Yellow box meaning my phone is connected because I am in VirtualBox and have to manually mount the USB...however I still get the Green Pass. But the Player is still black. Is it supposed to back to download mode?

Because I have the Player that doent have the Physical home button...just the led keys...so I have tried holding volume keys+power...in different combinations...and I can not get it in download mode on its own. I again, use the Resurrector in linux to do this and still...I have the same screen as shown in the image. I have attempted to flash firmwares to no avail. Am I doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
You have to flash the bootloaders tar (comes with resurrector) before it will boot on its own again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JimiGEE:
Thats my problem - It gets to PAS - goes black. I can not get it into download mode unless I use the resurrector. I have googled and dug for firmwares, etc...and flashed everything at this point. Still havent recovered my device. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Hi friend, try to be sure that:

1. You are using a Samsung USB 2.0 Cable

2. You are conecting this cabe to a 2.0 USB Device. If you conect it to a 3.0 the procedure wont work

3. Try using 1.81 version of Odin

I used a russian ROM for International SGP 5.0

Hope it helps

Hello friends

After several months trying to ressurect the International Version of SGP 5.0 it worked but sometimes it starts rebooting from nothing. So I thougth about flashing a custom rom (would like to have your opinion on wich one to flash for internation version)

The matter is that when I try to transfer a rom zip file to flash it using CVM I got:

E:Can't mount /sdcard/

Error mounting /sdcard!

When I try to mount USB storage I got:

E:Unable to write ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

Can you please help me?

Nothing happens.

Unbrickable Resurrector

Can anyone send me a current link for the resurrector? I can't seem to find a working download for it. I know most of you might not have it, but if one of you could pass me a dropbox link (or something along those lines), I would appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nynativ:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] BXWolf92:
Works great, thank you.

Though I think this might be related to me running Linux in a virtual machine, but when I plug in the device, it detects it as a S5PC110 (Galaxy S), and none of the options seem to work on the device. Not sure how to proceed from there.

Edit: I see why what I said was not very smart. Running Ubuntu on its own partition. Ran the resurrector. and I found what Usagi is talking about. There is a thread exception error in the jar. Not sure what causes it or how to fix it though:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] BXWolf92:
Con't...

Just to point out, I found the error because I hit it, and I can't seem to resurrect my device. If there is another method or another way to get the current resurrector working, I would love the help. I want to make use of this device. Hate to see it collect any more dust.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ratyfu:
Just bumping this, because I'm sitting in the same boat.

I've been trying for days now, but I'm finally giving up.

My player all of a sudden just didn't turn on anymore. I could force it to turn on by connecting a cable to it and then do some voodoo magic involving plugging the cable in and out while pressing or not pressing some buttons.

I somehow managed to fix the "Exception in blablabla" error and supposedly that put my player into download mode, but actually nothing happened.

Then I somehow managed to flash the files in Odin, that also succeeded, but I still couldn't turn on the player.

Then I somehow managed to turn it on, flashed a stock ROM and still: blackness.

And worst of all, now the voodoo magic doesn't work anymore either :(

So, if you or anyone find another way to do this, PLEASE let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] BXWolf92:
Shortly after my post, my device started working then quit again. I've officially given up hope. It is a single core processor after all. Won't be able to handle much, though I was just trying to turn it into a universal remote.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ratyfu:
Thanks for your answer. A shame really, I liked that device. Had it in the kitchen as a recipe/music provider.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ratyfu:
So, I just managed to make it boot into a Russian Froyo ROM, but after turning the player off, it stays off :( I really don't know why.

First, I had to get it into Download mode.

It was extremely hard to get to that point, and I had to run the UnbrickableResurrector at least a hundred times, before I got there.

Then I did the following, making sure to NEVER UNPLUG the device in-between the steps.

1- Flash the files as instructed in Post 1 of this thread.

2- Flash Rumirand's Kernel.

3- Flash G70JKKE3-REV00-ALL-low-CL1014588.tar.md5 (in PDA) AND G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig-Inter_model_2.3.5.pit (in PIT) with "Re-Partition", "Phone Bootloader Update", "Auto Reboot", "F. Reset Time" ticked.

It then booted into Froyo.

I used these files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bd73ncz0km72vpa/GalaxyPlayer-Unbrick.zip?dl=0 (the Bootloader package provided by [MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION] plus the ROM and the PIT file I've used, each in a folder named PIT and ROM respectively.)

and http://www.mediafire.com/?zmosctgvifab9z1 (Rumirand's Kernel).

I am now officially giving up, though. It was to frustrating to see the player boot up, work properly and then, just because of a reboot, nothingness again.

At 9 squid, I took a punt with this case from Amazon, not expecting much:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006DUTNU4

I am, however, quite surprised. The leather is slightly padded, well constructed edged etc and seems a similar build to cases by the likes of PDair or Proporta. The only let down is the clip holding in isn't grippy enough for me, so I have tightened it a fair bit, which helps.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cnshough:
Hey guys, just got my DInc2 Monday and found that the signal strength was no better than the Eris I had before it. The problem with the eris was that there was nowhere to connect an external antenna. After messing around with my new DInc2, and reading this forum, I found that by using the antenna that I bought for my eris: http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Electronics-Trucker-Mirror-Antenna/dp/B001DTZ25A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323615483&sr=8-1

and the passive antenna adapter

http://3gstore.com/product/1691_passive_antenna_adapter.html

that I never could get to work to boost my eris' signal, I was able to DRAMATICALLY increase my signal and data speeds!!!

I have the antenna pointed in the general area of my closest tower.

I cut the end off the adapter, and stripped the wire. I then slid the wire into the antenna contact on the PHONE SIDE...not the cover. I went from 2 bars of signal and an average of -95dbi without the antenna, to a STEADY 3 bars and an average of -86dbi with the antenna. The back cover has to be off for this to work, so it's only a fix if you are at home, or somewhere stable where you can just connect it and set the phone on a table somewhere.

If anybody knows where I can pick up some kind of small alligator clip or ANYTHING that would allow me to more permanently attach the antenna while I'm at home, I'd love to hear it. I think if I had a better connection between the phone and the antenna, the signal would be that much better.

Here are the speedtests I took this morning. The first three are without the antenna, and the 2nd three are with the antenna
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
Antenna fix

You could get a spare back and drill into the area where the connections are and solder the wire to the contacts on the back.

Try it with the stock antenna intact. If the signal is not better, interupt the trace of copper for the stock antenna.

Enjoy...:)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Firealoha:
Poking around in the back of my phone, I pulled off a tiny rubber cover located just above the SD card slot. Just underneath is what appears to be an antenna port. I have a Wilson antenna that I used with an old flip phone from back in the day, but the adapter I had did not fit. I ordered this one off of E-bay: Wilson 359909 Antenna Adapter LG, Motorola, Samsung,HTC (160641678739) - even though it did not explicitly state it would work on the Dinc2. In the meantime I spliced off the end of the adapter I already had and put the exposed wire in the antenna port. I noted an immediate increase of signal strength of -5dbm. Unfortunately, the ebay adapter arrived and it also does not fit. I think if we could find the right size adapter, we could drilll a hole in the back of the cover and it should seat nicely. Anyone have any thoughts?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cnshough:
I see that port. I didn't get any signal at all when I put my wire into it though. Anybody know what this port is for if not for an antenna? I find it hard to believe that nobody has noticed this before.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Firealoha:
I find it hard to believe that nobody has noticed this before.

I agree. Maybe wishful thinking got the best of me!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cnshough:
I just hope there's something to this!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Firealoha:
I shoulda thought more before posting. There is no doubt in my mind that I got a signal increase with the external antenna as compared to the last signal reading prior to taking off the cover (and having no signal at all).

Question is - could I have inadvertently touched something else in addition to that port?

At work till tomorrow afternoon and will retest then.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Firealoha:
It IS an antenna port

I have attached pictures of the "setup", and a screen shot displaying my dbm's with the cover off and the antenna attached. Cover on signal status was -96 dBm and with the antenna attached it was -87 dBm.

Hopefully this will get someone a lot smarter than me interested in figuring out what kind of adapter would work on this port.

Thanks in advance for any and all feedback!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ryankliber:
Umm i get 2meg download speed with no app and the back on. Remember the phones internal antennal is actually the back door of the phone. Did you do those first speed tests with the back on? Try flashing a new radio. The newest one ending in .1111 is great!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Firealoha:
Thanks for the advice! I flashed the .1111 radio a couple days ago and have noticed that the dead spots on my 1.5 hour drive to work have gotten shorter and my average dl speeds have increased from an average of .5 Mbps to about 1.2 Mbps :)

My hope is that with the right adapter, I could plug in an external antenna (pictured in my previous post) and cause those dead spots to disappear all together.

By taking the back cover off and plugging the bare wire of the adapter into the port directly above the SIM card slot, I get better reception than I had with the back cover on. Problem is, it's a very precarious connection. I think if I could find an adapter that actually fit in that port, I could drill a hole in the back of the cover and plug and unplug as needed.
