[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
US or INTL: USA.

What you flashed, with a link to it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531850 (the US pit file)

What happened AFTER you flashed the above: There was blue, green, and red dots, and they were in the "shape" the triangle in download mode. Afterwards, it turned off (after I disconnected it) and did nothing.

What your device does currently, eg, download mode, CWM only, partial boot, bootloop, no logo: It goes until download mode, but only if i use the Unbrickable mod. Otherwise, it does nothing. In fact, if I use Odin, it just says "Pass" and nothing happens (black screen).

What you tried doing to solve this problem: Using the tools from Adam's topic, using your tools, and tried different roms.

I haven't used Heimdall, btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
In the PM you sent, you said Odin3 was stuck at SetupConnection. Try using Heimdall, it tends to be more reliable. Also, do you have a 4.0 or 5.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
5,0.

Well, I got it pass the SetupConnection, but it did nothing but turn off (and not boot). What files do I need for Heimdall? If Heimdall doesn't work, then my SGP is probably dead. Not sure if I mentioned it, but I installed the wrong pit (for 4.0).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Well are you sure you followed the directions EXACTLY as in the thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
Well, I loaded the pit file than came with Galaxy Player Bootloaders too, if it matters (and if I remember correctly, I MAY have tried to do it without a pit, but it said it didn't have a pit file or something)..

Silly question, but does the Unbrickable Mod have to stay up or something? Because I have to go from Ubuntu to Windows, since Ubuntu doesn't read my Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I think it does, that's how I fixed it. Virtual Machine of WinXP
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
How do I install the drivers on Ubuntu?

I just tried the stock rom and pit file (UEK8). The first time, it got stuck at set partition. The second time, it said "can't open serial com port." And for some reason, only Odin 1.83 (I think it's that version) sees the pit and tar files.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Yeah that's the only Odin that works for me too. I don't know if you can install the drivers, try doing it manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
If I can figure out how, lol. Anyway, thanks for the help, but I'm just gonna say I'm out of luck (unless I send it to MTV). As said above, it gets stuck at "Set Partition" or whatever else, and only 1.83 sees the files. Heimdall mentions something about liusb error -12, and Zadig failed to install the device/driver (although didn't try liusb k or WinUSB).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Alright but what made you flash a PIT from the 4.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
I didn't realise it was a 4.0 oit until it was too late.

Edit: Heimdall mentioned something about not having the partition file, and I was wondering if you knew what it meant.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Partition file.. hmm. I'm not much of a dev here to answer what you mean but in a AdamOutler thread he has flashable partition tables
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
Yeah, I figured out the problem.

Another question: Can I install Virtualbox on Windows, and boot Ubuntu that way? Because I didn't exactly follow the directions (download virtual box)?

2.What you flashed, with a link to it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531850

3.What happened AFTER you flashed the above. so it was already messed up, i did something stupid, so i tried to use that to fix it, but my gplayer won't turn on.

4.What your device does currently, eg, download mode, CWM only, partial boot, bootloop, no logo. according to unbrickable resurrector its in download mode, but my gplayer won't turn on or anything. odin CAN detect it

5.What you tried doing to solve this problem. everything on this forum that says how to fix it.....

i'd really appreciate it if u could help me out on this. thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
Looks like you have the same problem as me, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
So you can flash files via Odin3. Great, use the Russian stock ROM in the OP and you should be back in business. Make sure to flash the correct file, as there are several in the download. It says in the OP which file to flash.

Did you try flashing the Partition Tables in Adams thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
Yup, nothing happened. I'll probably give it another try sometime. I don't understand why I can't just load the 5.0 pit and it works again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TonyJ999:
Stupid question possibly but have you got Virtual Box running within Ubuntu?? Or are you trying to do all this in Windows only?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
I finally fixed it! But CMW keeps saying it can't mount/recovery/(enter here)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Are you using Entropys daily driver? I'm glad you fixed, mind sharing so I can post alternative methods in the OP?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
I just did, and I still get the same message (maybe it's a damamged hard drive?). Even when I "fix" it, I can't do anything. Looks like I may have to buy another SGP. Awesome!

I did the "usual," switched to Windows (used the pit from Adam's thread), and added the files that I were supposted to and it worked. It's weird, because it wouldn't work on my sister's laptop.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TonyJ999:
As you can now get CWR have you tried the method from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468213

Post three is the one to look at - it finally fixed mine... Flashing all these PIT files dotted around never worked for me.....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
How do I do it for US version?

Edit: It said it couldn't open "fdisk dev/block/mmcblk0p15." Not sure what to do, lol. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TonyJ999:
I can't remember the exact sequence but is there an option to display the valid commands once you have started ADB??

I vaguely recall displaying the partition list on my device (probably pressing D or something,,,) and it simply had 1 line and nothing else. I deleted the partition that was there and then added each one manually according to a list I had from another working machine. I notice on that thread I quoted from the 2nd page it seemed to list the table from a US model and you will have to manually input from there to see if that helps....

If unsure about ADB try this link http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-do-i-use-it-20120124/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
Do I choose extended or partition? And which number? And I didn't even have a partition, lol. When I get the time to "put down" the tables, I'll see if it works.

Edit: I don't know why my end "sections" aren't as high as the tables,
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TonyJ999:
Yep looks like this might go some way to solve your problem as I had a similar issue! I've attached the partition table I loaded up on mine but as it's an Int'l model don't know if it helps or not...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
Would it still be possible to add it even though it isn't as high as the table's?

Edit: Forget that ^.

I made use of the "great"resurrector( 10 times) with my Windows 7 computer and I never used the virtual box , I simply rebooted to windows from unbuntu after getting the yellow triangle signal (without touching at the usb connexion!) and that's hit, you can go to odin or ADB without trouble expected all the drivers are well settle.

I'm using SGP 5.0 16GB INTL, was on stock rom, device was functioning well. I turn device off and now is hard bricked.

Installed linux ubuntu 12.6 and virtual machine with windows 7 on it. Doing as it is in tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386669.

Resurrector revision40 found device and it is in download mode, device screen is not showing anything. With odin3 I'm trying to install bootloader but every time it is stuck, with repartition or withouth. It stopped ar PIT upload failed!

Tried with heimdall-frontend, same result.

Does anyone has solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Please, my friends, help me!

Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 (with phisycal home button) bricked.

I accidentally flashed the rom to SGS-I9000B to the SGP 5.0 so it got bricked.

It's status is: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.

After weeks of exaustive researche, the only way I was able to enter in download mode was using the Adam's Outler procedure: Instaling Linux, Java, Oracle Virtual Box a version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40.

Well, using this procedure SGP 5.0 enters in downloading mode and when I use the PIT file and BootloadersOnly provided by Adam the result in Odin is PASS! Despite that SGP doesn't reboot and keeps the same way: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.

So I enter in download mode using Unbrickable Resurrector R40 again and try to flash several SGP 5.0 YP-G70 Intl ROMs: Stock Froyo, Stock Ginger Bread and some Customs ROMs most of them PASS in the Odin result BUT SGP 5.0 never reboots or turn on after the procedure.

I have a doubt of marking or not Re-partition in Odin, but the procedure just works if I mark it.

I'm a N00b and I feel I was close to resurrect it and make it work again but all I've got is frustration.

I'm not an expert as the major of you so I beg some enlightned soul show me the way to make it works: step by step and share with me the right files I have to use to make it works.

I also have installed Heimdall but I was not able to find the appropriate files to use it and SGP 5.0 can not have the batery removed. Someone wrote Adam has developed a tool for SGP full recovery but I didnt find it.

Please, folks, help me and I will share the solution with other people in the same situation.

Thanks and best regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Alright, what you should try is re flash the bootloaders, and when you get it in download mode, flash a kernel with ClockworkMod. Do not press the Automatic Reboot option in Odin. Reboot yourself into recovery. And download a Custom ROM and flash it via CWM. That should get you up and running. Let me know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
SGP 5.0 YP-G70 wont turn on

Ok, friend. So where do I get the right Bootloader file? And what options I check and what I don't check in Odin to make it?

Also there's a doubt regarding to wich Odin version to use. I read several threads and each one tells to use one version and I don't wich one is the best for my need.

Thank you very much and best regards
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
This is where you get them:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386669

But you did tell me that you managed to get it to download mode using the resurrector right?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
SGP 5.0 YP-G70 wont turn on

Yes, Zaclimon. The only real progress I was able to reach was getting it into download mode using Adam's method. I dowloaded the Bootloaders in the Adam's thread's link (the same) you posted here (btw thank you).

I really don't know if I'm doing something wrong. I've been trying several Odin's versions. And sometimes it's suggested to use re-partition, other times to don't use, to use phone boot update, other times do don't use it. So I tried a lot of times and Its still dead.

What exactly I should do? :(

Most times Odins shows: PASS. Despite that SGP wont reboot itself and doesnt respond to turn it on or get into Donwload mode by the buttons.

Really need you experienced guys advices and guidance.

Thank you so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Maybe try to update your bootloaders at the same time when you will flash a rom.?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Hello, Zaclimon. Good idea! Just done. I used Pit (on pit section) and Bootloaders (on bootloaders section) files from Adam's resurection thread and Froyo Stock ROM (on PDA Section) marked phone bootload update. Used Odin 1.83 to do so.

The result is PASS but it still doesnt turn on or enter download mode by buttons.

I was wondering if would be there something related to the battery, once we can not remove SGP battery. Would that be possible?

I though about running Resurrector R40 to force it to enter in download mode and left this way till battery dies, but I'm not sure if for been conect to USB battery will be charging or not, on the other hand if I remove it from USB it dies again.

Make it enter in download mode using Adam's method always work.

Flashing with Odin works for most ROMs resulting PASS. But SPG doesnt reboot or turn on. May god guides us to show what to do. I fell we are close like if it was a matter of a simple detail to make it work but I don't know what to do. I Did very exaustive search, followed lots of instructions but I'm still stucked on this status. :(

Thank you for been a partner to this mission. Possible mission I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
EchoFiive, wich kernel includes CWM?

The procedure you suggested will work if I can enter download mode only using Adam's resurrection method?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I think you can use Entropy512s kernel for INTL. And after you get in download mode with Odin inside Linux, try using a VM and boot windows inside of Linux to flash. That's how I fixed mine. And in the first post, there's a ROM with built in boot loaders I believe. Try using that
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Yes, I'm using Windows XP running under a VM (VBox) running under Linux (Ubuntu 12.04LTS). I'm able to get it into download mode using Unbrickable Resurrector R40 (and its the only way I can get it into download mode) I can flash ROMs and Kernels but I noticed that they on runs with re-partition option checked. If I don't select it Odin fails.

YP-G70 Intl with physical home button. I'm looking to find that ROM for my model, if you can send me a link I'd really appreciate.

It's strange cause when I flash Stock ROMs or evem Customs Odin says PASS but SGP 5.0 wont turn on or reboot itself.

Any ideas?

There must be something to be done.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I dunno man, it's honestly all the same to me. I've tried CM7, CM7 Cheery Pick Kang, EaglesBlood and Phoenix Blood... er I mean Hellfire Phoenix.

All run really fast and almost to no lag. And since it's from the same source all of them have the same bugs/problems. Each ROM opens apps as quick as can be. And if one is truly faster than the other, then I guess the fraction of a second speed is too little to notice with the naked eye.

Although if you look at EaglesBlood's OP he seems to have changed a lot. He's changed thing like changing it to GPU rendering rather than CPU. So I'd imagine that would make things better. So I guess you can go ahead and try that first.

Anyways, good luck man.

I've been running HP since v1.6. This ROM has been stable from me from day one. I prefer flashing morphic's Trinity kernel, instead of the Faux123 kernel supplied with the ROM, but that is a matter of preference.

Just flashed Hellfire Sandwich v1.0-beta, which is x0xhellx0x first version of ICS, so far so good.

I was messing with my tab and rooted it then tried to flash a rom on from clockwork. I then kept getting an error and the tab kept doing a continuous boot up loop. The tab eventually died and will not state up again. Any pointers on how I can get it charged up and if I can do I just try and use Odin which I was trying til it got to late and I went to sleep. I did see on the internet that someone has a way to take it apart and then charge it up and then just put it back together. Or should I just take it to best buy and say it won't charge anymore..it has been over 2 months however.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
What "rom" (it's not a ROM. It's firmware) did you try flashing? Which "clockwork" did you try flashing from? The CWM Recovery (which is posted in the development subforum) or the clockworkmod "ROM Manager"?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zion4887:
Yeah I bought Rom manager pro and tried to install one of the roms from there. Worked I. The past just not for that tab. I select the three choices to install and boot into recovery mode. Delete partion and install from sdcard and it would normally boot up. That time I just hung on the boot screen then restarted. I was trying to but cyanogen on the tab.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
You really should have read the "sticky" thread at the top of the galaxy tab plus general subforum. The one that you see at the top of the list any time you view the list of messages.

Actually, you didn't even really have to read the thread. Just seeing the title in the message list would have been enough. It's titled:

"** FAQ and useful info ** Do NOT use "Rom Manager" with these devices"

Had you clicked that, the very first thing you'd have seen would be:

You might be able to restore your device with ODIN, but first you'll have to get your battery to take a charge. Leaving it on the wall charger that the device came with for a few hours might do the trick. Or it might not. You might be able to boot into recovery... if so, leave it in recovery while it's charging (as your primary normal boot kernel appears to be messed up.)

If you can't boot into ODIN (download) mode, you might be completely out of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zion4887:
I tried today after a while and it actually turned on so I left in that screen used with Odin. I need to make sure I have the correct firmware for the tab plus then I will retry Odin. Is there a link on a step by step to get it back correct?

Not that I'm aware of and I'm not proficient enough with Odin to be comfortable giving instruction.

That's what I was kinda getting at Epix...:) Socalborn, like Epix said, why not just install a widget or app to give yourself reboot options. I use a widget called system info widget by Jason Calhoun, it has the option to add a reboot button to your home screen. Plus it reboots way faster than using the power button mods.

Using an app is the easy way, lol. It's just more fun doing it the hard way. I'm pretty sure an app is going to be my only option.

I wish someone would make up a bunch of MODs for the EL29. It's just more fun being able to completely customize rather than using a ROM. I was going to use Calkulin's ROM but there are a few things I don't like such as the numbering of the bubbles on the home screens. Shouldn't the middle home page technically be numbered one, haha?
