[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sherman619:
Sadly, this is where I am right now. I did start all over again, formatted the card and only put Hebrew, Octane and Anton's kernel. This is all that is on the card, when I installed them some of the default folders were created. I am yet to put anything else on the memory card, and at the time of this typing I only have basic market apps installed, nothing from transferring from pc to memory card or anything.

1. I have fully cleaned the system using all the steps in GR so I doubt the problem can be with the software on the phone.

2. I doubt it can be an app causing it because even after restoring the official rom just after GR it still does not work.

3. I am not sure if it can be the memory card, since I formatted it so many times, if it had a virus shouldn't it be gone by now? Not sure, just asking. I have some other memory cards handy I will format them and start back from square one again to see how it goes.

4. As for the headphones, I tried different headphones all the same thing. If anything then the problem about the incall sound might be with the headphone port itself. Maybe the phone's hardware or something in that port got stuck or something just something that is making the phone detect a headphone when there is actually none, maybe that's why...that's the most plausible thing I can think of relating to the incall and music volume. Now since I pushed it and out multiple times that maybe fixed it? Not sure..

As for the screen not going off I have no idea; so I will do everything again using a new memory card, not restoring anything, only install market apps one at a time and let you know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sherman619:
I followed all the instructions down to the last letter. Did everything over. Removed battery left for some time. Formatted new memory card and only put the cleaner, one mp3 song for testing, Octane and Anton's kernel on it. Did the adb cleaning. Flashed Gremlin Remover. Left for 15 min. Flashed Octane and then Anton's kernel. Reboot and waited 15 min. Did not install anything whatsoever. First thing I did: make a call and play the mp3 file and suprise!! All the problems were still there. Nothing changed. Screen still remained on, no sound in call, no sound from music player; only through headphones like in square 1. Pissed off to the max.

I quit.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Honestly, if you did all that, your device should be running it's best ever... You may have some sort of hardware malfunction. Even after trying different ROMs you still have the same issues correct?

I can tell you, I started experiencing some really bad things (not near as bad as yours) after I flashed a ROM WIP, and it took me several flashes to get my phone up and working again. But the only thing that was even remotely hardware related was the mis-calibration of the screen... I have to say, your problem is one of a kind...

However, have you tried pulling a logcat to see if by some chance there was something in there?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sherman619:
I don't know anything about logcat and how to interpret it. I see nearly 20k lines of text when I did it, what exactly should I look for?

I added it to my dropbox account if it is going to be helpful, here is the link:

This is the logcat I saved from my phone. Click it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I'm almost positive that it's some mechanical/electrical problem with the headphone jack. Something is stuck there, or it's dirty, so the controller erroneously detects like something is always plugged in. Hint: you said earlier that it suddenly started working when you were actively plugging-unplugging headphones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sherman619:
Yes I believe so too. I will try to open the phone to see what I can find concerning the headphone issue.

What about the screen not going off? Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Re: the headphone jack, if you can grab a can of compressed air. Using the straw might cause it to blow out. Also there could be something causing the proximity sensor to foul up. Like a piece of dirt or something lodged in between the glass and sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sherman619:
I will try the compressed air, thanks for the suggestion.

Looking closely at the proximity sensor it looks pretty clean to me. As for how a piece of dirt will get there, not sure, considering I treated this phone better than my girlfriend. :D

My Galaxy Player is Korean, and i tried to flash a International firmware, but i failed.

Mine was originally KRKPL, and i tried to flash XXKPH. I didn't know I needed to factory reset, so i came back to KRKPH, and tried to wipe, and failed. I flashed KRKPL and i couldn't as well. XXKPH doesn't work also.

When i tried to do factory reset, it says it can't mount.

I've attached two pictures.

This is not mine but it has same situation.

Plz help me guys...

im using odin to flash the ROMs

and i thought it was a hard brick.. soz
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Samwes:
The problem on the other post was the same as yours. However he used rom manager to flash the rom which was the source of his problem as he told rom manager that he was using a different device to what he was using.

What version of odin are you using? Also just checking, when you flash, you are putting it in PDA and have all the things that need to be ticked/ unticked, ticked or unticked.

I think that you're problem is that you have lost your partition tables. So this is what you should do: odin3 rebuild partitions, with valid pit file and one package in PDA

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Harry GT-S5830:
Here you go.

- Install Samsung Kies: For your drivers

- Wait for it to do all its setting up

- Reboot PC

- Now CTRL-ALT-DEL and open "Task Manager"

- End "KiesTrayAgent.exe" and "KiesPDLR.exe" and "Kies.exe" if its open

- Now, get Odin3 1.83 Odin3 1.83

- Put Galaxy Player 5.0 INTL PIT into the "PIT" section

- In PDA put Galaxy Player 5.0 INTL Firmware

- Now hold Home + Power + Volume down, you should see this or similar.

- Connect device to PC

- Odin should pick it up in one of the boxes, it will turn yellow

- Check "Rebuild Partitions" and hit start

- Do not disconnect from PC

- Wait till it says pass or simiar

- Your device should now be alive

- Boot into recovery (Home + Power)

- And wipe Data and Cache

Your device should now boot, and be in a nice Gingerbread firmware :D

-Note. Do not use my ROM- it is for GT-S5830
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Miracle.vl63:
Harry GT-S5830/ Isnt that PIT file for 8G? Cause mine is 16G... or doesnt matter?

Samwes/ whats a rom manager? i thought thats one of the apps for CWM...

also, wt do u mean by "have all the things that need to be ticked/ unticked, ticked or unticked. "? when i flash, i tick only PDA so is it right?

and how do u mean by "one package in XDA"? do u mean a firmware file?

Thank you very much guys...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Harry GT-S5830:
ROM Manager is a app of market, past that I dont know much as it hard bricks my device the moment you grant it sudo permissions, but Cyanogenmod likes it as you can wirelessly "send" ROMS to your phone.

Ill see if i can get a 16G PIT

- Edit, only can find PITs for the 4.0 version 16GB, but I assums as the hardware stays the same (only size of solid state drive changes) it should work, good luck.

One package in PDA and yes, it is the firmware file, it contains boot, systemrfs, csc and modem perhaps- not to sure as its not a phone. but it has all you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Miracle.vl63:
so... ur telling me to use 4.0 PIT and 5.0 firmware? is that right?

and isnt rom manager a app in android device? how can u use that to flash a rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Samwes:
Im note sure about your first question but harry will know that. I would have thought that you would use 4.0 pit and 4.0 firmware, maybe harry thought you had a 5.0, I will check with him.

But yes you can flash a rom with rom manager however I would not recommend it as it is likely that it will brick your device. Check other people trying it on your 4.0 though, I wont use it because I do not fancy I hard brick. There are however many other applications that do the same but I would stick to odin if I were you. If you did decide to use a mobile rom flasher then I would say mobile odin would be your best choice but once again I have not used it myself.

If you choose to use rom mangager then check out this for a full explanation: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/32771-faq-what-rom-manager-how-do-i-use.html

thx i will search about ROM manager, but im confused...

i have a glaaxy player 5.0 16G.

so do you recommend using PIT for 5.0 8G or 4.0 16G?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Samwes:
I would use pit for 5.0 8gb and firmware for 5.0, korean and see how it goes if you can't find the 16gb pit. This is because only the size of drive changes, no other hardware nor software. The kernel should be exactly the same. So I would not recommend using 4.0 pit otherwise you may brick or come into another problem. If the 8gb pit does not work then ask around on the forums for the 16gb pit, and if no one has it then give the 4.0 16gb pit a go.

Sorry I got a bit confused there, I was helping someone out who has a 4.0.

I would stay away from 4.0 stuff for your 5.0 if I were you

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Samwes:
Try flashing as you did before. That's all I can think of doing.

Maybe try a different kernel, custom or a stock kernel. Make sure you have the stock one there though. I doubt that will help though :/

Try to brick it and then send it back to samsung? Or if you're feeling lucky send it how it is.

Or try asking on a different forum, android forums maybe, someone there may have had the same problem or know the answer.

Sorry I could be no further help, fixing the partitions is all that I can think of doing. Maybe try a different PIT, I don't know. If a different PIT doesn't work, and it bricks then you can send it to samsung and they will think that it is a motherboard issue and replace the whole motherboard for you. Check another forum first though. Or maybe someone else here will know another way to solve it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Miracle.vl63:
i was always wondering... wts a stock? stock rom or whatsoever...

A stock rom is the firmware that came with the device when you originally bought it.

Sent from my 5.0 US with ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Samwes:
Stock rom for you: http://www.4shared.com/zip/KMWmC7YM/_KPH.html? or http://www.mediafire.com/?hzawahyaz7fvhrw

By the way, if you want to just flash the kernel then unzip the rom file on your computer, take out the .zimage file and put it by itself in a .tar file.

Try asking a fully fledged developer such as entropy, since they develop for the player it is likely they will know how to fix your problem

Sent from my Motorola Xoom
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Miracle.vl63:
Um... is it only the kernel the problem? so theres no need to flash a new whole firmware(kernel+firmware)?

Mine was originally in Froyo so shall i try it as well?

i have contacted entropy, hopefully he might have an answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Samwes:
I doubt it but it says in the image you posted that it cannot mount the kernel recovery log, so this means there's a problem with your partitions but re-flashing a kernel may sort it out but its unlikely. You have all ready flashed a rom though and that had a kernel in.

You could try to use an adb command (a program that comes with the android sdk that allows you to interact more with your device) which will remake your file system. I do not know any adb commands so I cannot help you out there.

thank you very much indeed

------------------------------

I got this with adb and i dont know what to do...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Samwes:
As I said before I am not too sure when it comes to adb commands but what I can see is this:

He has said that reflashing the partition tables will not fix the problem so you will need to do this manually. So first of all you need to find someone else with the same model of the player and run the command stated in the link to get their partition tables. You can then do this with your player and compare the partition table on your player with the other persons working player.

I am not too sure about this part but this is my best: You must then delete the faulty partion (probably the last one) and delete this by using 'd', then create recreate the faulty one with 'n' but set the size to the same as the non-faulty player from previously. Then finally write the onto the player with 'w'

Finally reflash a kernel that you know works. If it doesn't boot then flash a stock kernel and factory reset.

It is likely I have misinterpreted this at the rebuilding partion part and may have misinterpreted before as well but I hope I have been a help with this. If this doesn't work then ask on that forum for them to explain this in more detail.

---------------

From what I can see In your image, you may have a problem with the first few after 1 as they are missing, 15 and maybe 14 due to the question mark. But these may be like this normally as well so make sure to compare it with a working player.

do i need to delete all of them and start from the beginning?

i dont know how to repartition it... i dont know what should i put for start for the sector

and do i create a logical or primary partition?

also in that thread what does he mean by "Finally, write the partition table with w."?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
No, I'd first try by only deleting the last one. It looks like each of the other guy's partitions start 5 after the previous one ends, so try it with that value. The last statement means you have to use the w command (like d and n) to save your changes.

Did you solved it?

If not solved yet, try the below solutions they worked fine for me.

the problem is not the PIT it is the memory hard partitioning. The reason why you device is claiming not able to mount block 15 (in red letters!!!), because it has been erased and not any more linux part.

I am not any kind of LINUX expert but I succeeded fixing it thanks to the 3 following posts that show exactely what the problem is.

Oh my goodness....

I have created partitions and it was working fine, except that it only recognize 8G of my 16G storage.

So i started to delete the last partition but accidentally I delete the first partition.. now i have no partitions on my Galaxy Player.

I can create the partitions but I can't create 2 3 4 partitions cause they start and end on 0 sector.

Also, when I create one partition, for example the first one,

/dev/mmcblk0p1 : start= 64, size= 15515584, Id= 5

it starts on 64 and has 15515584 size.

So i enter n, 64, and +15515584, but it creates a partition which starts with 64 and ends with 15515584...

so 1) how do i create partition with its size?

2) how do i create partition 2,3,4?

difficult to help you in remote and blind mode especially running adb!

In order to see what really happen can you send a print (p) of fdisk after this instruction done: (inside brackets)

"./fdisk dev/block/mmblck0"

then go to post 13 first thread.

I did it, you should be able to do it the same.

1)it recognises only 8G

2)when I create partition, i put n, l, and the beginning block(a), and +(size) (b) but it creates a partition starts with a and 'ends' with b not having a 'size' as b

3)all partitions that i create has a + at the end... does it matter or not?
