[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Orzmud:
Unable to have device boot after following all suggestions

First I want to thank all who have made possible either by developing or recollecting the data required to unbrick the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0, an excellent effort!

Let me know explain my device situation:

1. I got the Galaxy Player 5.0 US (capacitive buttons) from a friend (original owner) who I think he did try some trick (he couldn't explain) and the device never booted again.

2. I've been researching the different tools, files, kernels, factory ROMs around the Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0.

3. I've patiently read gazillion threads in this forum which all of the interconnect at a given time, from there I was able to finally identify and download: :)

Tools required:

- UnBrickable Resurrector - Adam Outler

- VirtualBox VM with Windows 7

- GalaxyPlayer Bootloader package

- Odin

- Heimdall

I have downloaded the ROM:

- YP-G70_UEKI8_MIN.rar

- Eryigit_Rom_PDA_YP-G70_G70ZCKPA.R.3.0-Defult-USA-Extract-it.rar

which only includes the kernel (zImage) and the filesystem content (factoryfs.rfs) and the pit file (euki8.pit).

I've find the euki8.pit to be useless in the many attempts to try to flash using it (Odin will stall the process of flashing if I use it); instead of it, I've downloaded:

- G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit

- GB70-GalaxyPlayer70-16gb.pit

I don't know if it is a 8 or 16 gig, since I never used the device.

What is the condition of the device?

- The device will not show a charging icon when charging cable is connected (either to the USB power adaptor or the computer USB port)

- The device will get warm if I connect the charger to the wall outlet

- The device screen does not react to pressing the Power button

- The device screen does not react to pressing Vol Up/Down and Power (Download Mode)

What I've accomplish so far:

- Device is able to go to Download Mode using the UnBrickable Resurrector.

- Use Oding to transfer files to the device while in Download Mode.

Data Transfers Successfully attempted:

- Download Mode only:

- Put device in Download Mode using UnBrickable Ressurector.

- PIT File included in Galaxy Player Bootloader package

- Selected to Re-Partition

- Used the Bootloaders included in the GalaxyPlayer Bootloader package.

Transfer reported by Odin as pass, the device behavior is exactly the same as originally described.

- Partition / Boot

- Put device in Download Mode using UnBrickable Ressurector.

- PIT files (G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit and GB70-GalaxyPlayer70-16gb.pit)

- BootLoader from GalaxyPlayer Bootloader package.

Transfer reported by Odin as pass, the device behavior is exactly the same as originally described.

- Partition / ROM

- Put device in Download Mode using UnBrickable Ressurector.

- PIT files (G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit and GB70-GalaxyPlayer70-16gb.pit)

- BootLoader files from GalaxyPlayer Bootloader package.

- ROM file ueki8_min.tar.md5

Transfer reported by Odin as pass, the device behavior is exactly the same as originally described.

- Partition / Boot / ROM

- Put device in Download Mode using UnBrickable Ressurector.

- PIT files (G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit and GB70-GalaxyPlayer70-16gb.pit)

- BootLoader files from GalaxyPlayer Bootloader package.

- ROM file ueki8_min.tar.md5

Transfer reported by Odin as pass, the device behavior is exactly the same as originally described.

- ROM

- Put device in Download Mode using UnBrickable Ressurector.

- ROM file ueki8_min.tar.md5 and Eryigit_Rom_PDA_YP-G70_G70ZCKPA.R.3.0-Defult-USA.tar

Transfer reported by Odin as pass, the device behavior is exactly the same as originally described.

I've also tried using Heindall without success, most of the time the communication breaks and I see a lots of communication error reported back from libusb. So far the only success I have had is using the combination of UnBricable Resurrector + Odin.

Is there anything that the community might see that I'm missing?

I volunteer to be the ginnea pig for any additional crazy testing since at this point can't do much. If one or more developers want to work with me, we can develop a testing procedure and validate it.

Looking forward to make this Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 device to work! :)

Best regards,
