Can you help me?

I had the same thing as you. Used oneclick.jar and unbricked, but now when I try to flash Erygits rom Odin says FAIL and something with blablabla pit.

What do I do now?

BTW how did you flash with Heimdall (or didn't you?)?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NullUser:
I flashed with OnClickUnbrick which is part of Heimdall.

Did you unbrick your device already (and bring it to download mode)?

No - refer to here.

Yes -

You'll have to know if you have the US, International or EU version. FYI, The US version has a capacitive (non-physical) home button.

Install Odin

Make sure the Samsung Driver is installed (check device mgr)

Use a PIT from here

For the US version: Use this (2.3.5) or this (2.3.6), or this ROM (all ROMs are rooted)

For international use one of the ROMs here.

I'm just trying to help, I'm not resp. for any damage etc. etc. etc.

If you have a different device, or u need any other help, buzz me and will provide links, I have some, in just a few ago I didn't have a clue what a ROM means, so don't be shy to ask, and sorry if that's not the case.

And BTW, should u ever hear about a tested ICS ROM for the US ver. please PM or buzz me.

If you have the Phone-PC screen, you don't need bootloaders. The Phone-PC screen is "forced" download mode - device is saying "you need to flash something in Odin"
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
Well I tried to do the Odin flashing with a bootloader and pit, yesterday. They didn't work though, Odin said: FAIL, so my only simple option left was to wipe data and cache while in recovery mode. I did that and then rebooted and it worked, strangely enough. It was so simple...

But I had a soft-brick. I had to use oneclick.jar to un-soft-brick the device. Then I could use the power and volume buttons to get into downloading mode or recovery mode.

So maybe you should get into recovery mode and wipe all data and cache?

That's what I did anyway.

Good luck ;)

I am an android noob and can't tell if it matters that much all I can sure say is that the us version isn't available as 16gig,only 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] wingcook:
Have tried all of this, but still getting a black screen after Odin reboots the player. Odin is reporting "PASS!" though. Any ideas or suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DeLaVicci:
If Odin says it's a Pass but it isn't showing anything on the screen, maybe it's a hardware problem? Do you have the Android SDK installed so you could try running the ADB to explore the device? If USB Debugging was enabled before your friend broke it, it might work. If that's the case, then it's a hardware problem and there probably isn't jack you can do about it. =\

Forgot to mention that I also tried the oneClick unbrick software. I set the device in DownloadMode (via UnBrickable Resurrector) then I run the OneClick and click the button, the device then reboots and goes back to a blank screen, no reboot and still did not respond to any key pressing sequence.

No, I meant that I had to use oneclick.jar to get back to downlaod screen, sorry for saying it wrong.

Once you're in download mode or recovery mode you should either restore your back-up files (recovery mode) or flash a new rom/kernel (download mode).

Some news...

I tried multiple combinations of :

- PIT

- Boot

- Kernel

- ROM (Kernel + FileSystem)

and at some point in time the device booted into CWM mode and it was sowing errors about not finding the following partitions:

/cache

/cache/recovery

/efs

/data

and other that couldn't read because they scroll in the screen.

I was able to save a copy of the log into the SDCard:

Orzmud, don't you have back-ups, so you can restore? If so, wipe all data and cache and then go to advanced and click on delete dalvik cache or something. Then restore.

I didn't have a back-up saved, so:

What I did when I got into downloading mode:

- Startup another computer and install Odin, the .pit files and the custom ROMs/kernels.

- Go into recovery mode.

- Wipe all data (3×), cache and dalvik (in advanced menu).

- Go back to downloading mode and connect to the pc.

- Open Odin 3 v1.85 and click on PDA. Select http://www.mediafire.com/?nch3g45zw5qdyhx (INTL). If you have the US version of the player then download the US stock ROM somewhere.

- Click on the "PIT" option and select one of the .pit files that fits your galaxy player version (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389873)

- Then click on Start.

- Voila my player worked again.

I don't know if this will work for you, but it might be worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] a.fiodorov:
Finding it hard to get my GB Samsung out of the "downloading" mod.

rumirand's recovery rom is down and I can not post there, I dont have enough posts.

Can anybody link me to the recovery rom?

Further information about which trick got you out of Downloading mode would be helpful.

Somebody said to try Froyo, but I can't not find FROYO Rom too. French firmware from samfirmware gives some error in chinese/korean when I try to flash it with ODIN.

EDIT:

Froyo does load up, just took me some googling to find froyo.

So Re-Partition + flash froyo to get it working again.

Added:

Use PIT from Partition Tables (Galaxy Player 5.0 International 8gig). Now to get 2.2.2 (Froyo), I resorted to this link. Bear in mind it's in Russian, so use google translate or just click on 2.2.2 then enter the numbers and click on the green button "Скачать" (download).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Orzmud:
I don't have backup because the device was given in the brick'ed condition.

The issue is that I can't wipe data from any partition since the partition schema that I've used (all the PIT files reported used in my previous post) doesn't seem to actually create them.

Today in an attempt to re-flash the device I lost the boot capability, now I'm back to square 1 ... black screen. Tried to flash PIT + Boot then Kernel without any avail.

Will try more sometime tomorrow.

Regards,
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Orzmud:
Great! I'll try it that ROM and will post results.

UPDATE:

Using Odin 3 1.81 I flashed the PIT file that comes with the Galaxy Player Bootloader + the ROM downloaded from the russian website, now the device boots into the "Samsung" logo and stays there. If i turn it off the device will turn on by itself and will stay again in the "Samsung" screen.

Is this what I've seen some people refer to as "the boot-loop" problem?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TiMthisIS:
This is where I've been stuck too. I see the same errors with either stock recovery but a few less errors (I think) under the CWM recovery. Partitions fail to mount, etc. Mine is an international 8G and started out with Froyo. The stock pits in the pit thread don't have a Froyo for me which I believe has some differences in the partitioning type. It's been weeks since I've tried anything. I needed a bigger microsd to try to fit a backup zip on it for CWM. That isn't working either so far.

One interesting find over in the Nexus threads over a user with the same /cache errors with cwm. User cjward23 posted "It sound very similar to an issue a range of HTC devices had that contained a Samsung EMMC. What was happening is that EMMC would not allow certain partitions of the device to written to."

There wasn't a solution listed, just to chat contact some people. I want to try my stock Froyo setup to see if that cures things but it seems I will have to poke around in ADB to wipe or redo the partitions manually. I have to re-find the discussions of the partition differences between Froyo and Gingerbread.

No amount of flashing has worked at all since the partitions seemed to not be cooperating. The flashing has passed but I still had the problem of no Froyo pit for this unit.

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------

I've tried that myself but I don't think one can use International 8gig pit going to Froyo because I believe the partition formatting is changed between Froyo and GB. Most of these devices started as GB and that International pit is (I think) from a GB device. Mine started as Froyo. The Russian Froyo file doesn't have a pit file embedded in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Orzmud:
I found the thread you're talking about in the forum also, nothing to do so far.

Unforunately for me, since the last flash the device booted and stayed on the SAMSUNG logo screen until battery drained. Now I can't put the device in download mode using the UnBrickable Resurrector.

Anyone has a recommendation to have the battery charged? :)

Regards,
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TiMthisIS:
I haven't had any trouble with operation/charging with the usb cable even when it was hard bricked. I have no idea what the charging level was at but I left it plugged in until I got cwm on there which has a power off option.

A hard reset may get things working again in unbrickable. That's all I had to do. I'm not quite sure if the key combos on the US version are the same. Mine is to hold the physical home button and power button.

If you have the Samsung logo you should be in soft brick and not need unbrickable anymore. My download mode is activated by vol down + home button. I have to hit that right away after a hard reset to avoid the boot loop or the hanging logo. That seems to be from bad bootloaders. But I'm not too sure at this point which piece of the puzzle is the culprit. I've tried some the new roms but it still boots straight to cwm recovery with the errors.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] asheehanjr:
Thanks for this post man! I just go my 5.0 player today (9/1/12), and already "semi-bricked" my player. I got the same thing you did with the exclamation point, and i used the OneclickUnbrick and boom up and running! Thanks again! Saved my arse! lol.

I suffered with this issue many times and tried so many corrective action, I also reached a full boot but no memory was mounted and I finally found the solution here.

Just a matter to verify the internal memory partionning using ADB and Fdisk and correct the 4 last partition if they are wreid.

I was thinking about this, because custom ROMs can be unstable and can freeze your phone. But we can't pull the battery, so what can we do?
[HTC One S] ZeppeMan:
Nvm

Found similar thread on the One X forum. Imagine that we couldn't reboot.. stuck for life on the freezescreen LOL xD
[HTC One S] ChrisDDD:
This is definitely a positive side-effect of a non-removable battery, although other phones can (and do) function the same. As was said in the linked thread, the iPod/Phone will reset with a long-press on the power button. My old Fascinate would reset if you held the power and, I think, volume down for long enough. Hardware-wise, that was probably the only complaint I have against the Inc 2 - every time it freezes (usually my own fault), I have to pry the battery cover off, pry the battery out, replace, then snap the cover back on. Really nice just being able to hold a button or two down for x number of seconds.
[HTC One S] rootrider:
You can wait till the battery is empty (sorry I couldn't resist).

[HTC One S] MinecraftZombi.es:
Reboot:

Press and hpold power button until phone reboots.

Touchscreen buttons will flash 5 times, and then the phone will vibrate. At this point phone is turned off.

the phone will reboot automatically after a few seconds.

Bootloader:

Press and hold until buttons stop flashing and phone vibrates. phone is now off. Let go of power.

Press and hold vol- and power before the phone automatically reboots.

This is tested on 1.53.401.2

But on the One X it's hold volume button (+ and -) and hold power !

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DanRo80:
I plan to root it and flash ROM's. Does it seem that one or the other will matter if I want the option to use the 4G and not only the WIFI. Does it seem that the 6210 would have more ROM's for it? Does it matter when it comes to the ROM's
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] bdds13:
The roms depend on the developers. The advantage p6210 is that samsung will probebly upgrade it to ics before the t869 because of the carrier. There are currently no roms for neither of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DanRo80:
I haven't owned a tablet with both WIFI and carrier network connection before. I am assuming once roms are built that I wouldn't be able to have the carrier connection if the rom is cooked for the P6210 and use it on the T869. Is this correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
One reason why I went with a p6210 is because I think its pointless to add a contract to tablet when you can simply just tethered from your personal phone. (If you have that feature).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] bdds13:
Unfortunately you can't use p6210 roms for t869 because their partitions are different and use different boot.img. So if you flash a p6210 rom for t869 you will soft brick it and maybe even mess up your recovery and end up having to recover it with heimdall or odin. I also thought that you could use the same roms, but i learned that you can't because of the partitions, you would have to port it for your device, its not too hard but you definitely have to make some changes to the updater script and boot.img.

I'm actually making a rom for the p6210 and im planning on releasing it today :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DanRo80:
Decision made, P6210 it is.
