What Partitions

Like What partition would I dump to get the kernel, or the recovery, or the data.rfs?

Sorry, I'm a noob right now, but I am trying to learn!

Clockworkmod

Once i get the recovery image, the graphics file, and some other files i will be able to make clockworkmod recovery for it. I am working on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
How can I help?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
Tell me what to do and I'll get the files you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
Updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] superflyingbrick:
i need the recovery.img file. I have everything else, but all of my system dumps have failed when attempting to retrieve the img. if you have that it would help much as i would be able to complete the process of making a clockworkmod recovery for our device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
How I get it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] superflyingbrick:
like i said before, if you can get it i need a system dump with the recovery.img in it. My dumps have failed in giving me the img. i have everything else ready

i have tried gscript but it is not working...

we could extract it from the rooted or stock rom using an archiving tool, but i dont think that it will work

I will ask the creator of the rooted rom if he has it or knows how to

K well my helper had to go sleep so I am back to being complete noob. But he said that Samsung devices, the recovery.img is in kernel if i understood him correctly.

Success?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alice90:
The recovery partition is empty. The recovery binary is located in the kernel partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
So can u extract the recovery thing?

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

isnt the kernel already on the thread?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ajws7036:
I need to dump the kernel myself... where is the kernel partition?

Can you also list the other partitions' locations (recovery, kernel, data, cache, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ajws7036:
ODIN3 Can't write my factoryfs dd

Hello, I accidentally soft-bricked my YP-GI1 after some wifi issues, So when I attepmted to flash the factoryfs img that I extracted, i realised i needed it to be a tarball, not an img. So i compacted it into a tarball, and my yp-gi1 refused it. Is ther something that I did wrong? I dumped my factoryfs.img from the advice I got earlier.

Hi, I don't know if it could be still usefull, but here you can find a Kies update for Galaxy S 4.2 WIFI

It's Hungarian, but it is multilanguage and works in Italy.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
What update is it?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ozelot64:
The product code of my player is: YP-GI1CW/XEH, I know, it's Hungarian and I'm Italian....but the bay is international ;)

When I connected it to Kies, it showed me that update and I managed to copy the temporary file dowloaded by the program

The file is named: CODE_GI1XXLF1_CL1142849_REV03_user_low_noship_HOME.tar.md5

Inside there are the files: normalboot.img, cache.img, factoryfs.img
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
Is it android 4.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ozelot64:
No, it's still GingerBread 2.3.6......but it seems to be at the moment the only complete stock rom available, I think (hope) could use it as a starting point for modding the player....like extract and modify the recovery, for example, or developing custom rom....

Unfortunely I haven't the skill to do that, so I made it available for the community ;)

can someone make a video tut on how to do all this. I would love to do this with my US 4.2 SGP but really dont know how to start i have downloaded ypgi1cb-factoryfs-stock, ypgi1cb-factoryfs-stock-rooted, ypgi1cb-kernel-stock, Odin_Flasher_v3.04, but dont know how to use any of them If someone would please make a video tut it would really make it easier for me to understand. Noob yes that I am but willing to learn :confused:I learn better by visual than just reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ajws7036:
I'll put together a video

onthegrezinn I think a video would be a good way to explain the how to. I remember how i wished there was one.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] onthegrezinn:
does the samsung galaxy player 4.2 need to be in download mode to be recognized by odin 3.04 because it only recognizes it in usb debugg mode for me I have the US YP-GI1CB/XAA and using windows 8 have the samsung drivers installed the only way is usb debugg :confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ajws7036:
Yes

yes, it needs to be in download mode. to do this, turn the device off, then press and hold home, vol down, and power.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
Any work on cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] onthegrezinn:
I run odin first ,like it says in the tut http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1884071 then I put the SGP in download mode but when i connect to the usb it wont read how do i use heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32, that one does read my device in download mode but where do i put the rooted rom and can i use the rom i download from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1885374 :confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
thats why Odin won't recognize it, when you install the drivers for heimdall it replaces the drivers that Odin uses (assuming you ever installed them) on any USB port that is part of that USB header, to use Odim and Heimdall on the same computer you need to first install the samsung drivers (that Odin uses) then put your player in download mode and connect it to the USB you want to use for heimdall and setup the heimdall driver there, then use a DIFFERENT USB ON A DIFFERENT HEADER (if on a laptop use a USB on opposite sides of computer) with the player in download mode to allow the regular samsung drivers to configure and use that one for ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] onthegrezinn:
ok i download the drivers for samsung from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11498043 that was like the first thing i did but still no luck really need a video to see what am i doing wrong and no i didnt install drivers for Heimdall tried only odin and still no luck should i install kies

Hi Guys,

Had a question about the Galaxy Player 4.2 which I bought for my girl. It is still to arrive but was wondering if there is any custom ROMs available for this device? :confused:

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ajws7036:
I'll put together a package

I'll put together a package that has all you need to root it. You do need the official SAMSUNG drivers to use it with ODIN, and could you maybe provide some screenshots?

Help Please!

received my Samsung player model YP-GI1cw/xeu (UK model)

Booted the device all worked well until I decided to flash it!:crying:

Currently wont boot, just sits on boot screen.

Can anyone help and get me back to factory settings!!!???

I tried Odin3, it just fails. I have downloaded the latest Samsung USB drivers. Odin see's the device, after hitting start i get a Complete(Write) operation failed.

I tried using heimdall 1.3.1, added the drivers as per the instructions. I ran Heimdall front end, I loaded the factoryfs.img it fails with Tar headers contained an invalid size.

Thanks

Thats why i haven't flashed it all ready, only otas for now... But root would be welcome so anytime soon I will flash it.

What would be nice is a ics or even better jelly bean for this device.. It would be much more fluid, as this country isn't that bad for a single core.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Qaari:
Hey everyone. Just wanted to say that I've also got this device but I've not messed about with it as of yet. Is there any chance we'll see CWM or custom ROMs for the 4.2 though? I don't mind supporting any devs that are actively working on it as my Galaxy Player isn't doing anything :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] RCO20000:
Same here... Would love to support Dev of Cm or similar for 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ajws7036:
Usb host support?

There wouldn't be a chance that there might be support of usb host maybe? Could a custom kernel be made? or could a driver or module be downloaded and installed? Oh, and usb audio. usbaudio.o is missing, but it seems to be present in the 3.6... any way we could get usbaudio.o to the 4.2?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
so everything is good? i did it right? :yay i feel happy now... u think it will be much longer till the rooted image is up?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Ya basically. I don't want you to screw up your device so... It's your choice, your device can have problems, Do you want to proceed?

EDIT: wait I think this method can't possibly work. Can you run with adb shell, can you do the mount command

or in terminal or command shell:

adb shell

$ mount

Then blablabla copy this and paste it we will do a dd of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
yes of course! however i would like to know how to restore back to the stock image. rather how to make the image. cause its a rar file now. should i make it a zip or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
We will make a rooted image from a dump instead of a dump. See the instruction I said on the previous post.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
fantastic thanks :) so how long? sorry if nagging
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well sorry if i'm asking you to some things again, but can you, from adb shell, write the 'mount' prompt and when paste it there please?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
You are not obligated to write the '$' this is just to show what it is in the shell. So then write this:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/external_sd/factoryfs_orig.img bs=4096

and upload it (the factoryfs_orig.img) and then your job is done :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
it says it cant open for read permission denied.

$ dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/external_sd/factoryfs_orig.img bs=4096

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/external_sd/factoryfs_orig.img bs=4096

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8: cannot open for read: Permission denied
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
ahh damn, this is what I thought. It's because it isn't rooted. Ok then let's do it the alternative way then.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
kk lets do it :) im very enthusiastic about this btw
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I'll make it tomorrow because I have an exam and I need to study.

aight sounds like a plan! thanks so much for doing this btw :) and gl on ur exam
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
This is exactly what I have been working on the last few days. All I need to do is discover how to have dd create an image of x size only. What I did was basically setup the 4.2 filesystem/structure on an SD card, and I am using it to dd from. Probably a better method out there, but that's what I came up with, and It's what works :). If this method works for you guys, I will make one for the 3.6 thread. What method are you using, zaclimon?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I planned to make an image from the dumped /system. Then for the size, I use the size of the partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
What tool/s are you using? I (as you know) have been using DD without success, maybe I need to approach it in a different manner, unless you don't mean the adb pull dump.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I use the adb pull dump, then I ad dthe superuser app and binary, and I make an image out of it using make_ext4fs. I'll uploading it now.

EDIT: I forgot that I have to compress it before uploading it -__-
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
AH ext4fs! I didn't know it make images out of folders! Guess I never had a need for it before :D. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
aight so whats happoning?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The image is basically ready to be download however I make some checks before sharing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] superflyingbrick:

If someone could upload the recover image it would be much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ajws7036:
I could upload the recovery image.. what partition is it? Also, how would I make an Odin recovery tarball of everything ? System, data, dbdata, kernel etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computertechie98:
Rcovery

sorry i just realized that the recovery builder failed on my image because i didn't have a full image so if someone could upload a FULL recovery image, thanks

Can you paste the output of Heimdall's "print pit" feature (or

heimdall print-pit

on the command line)? And are you using Windows, Ubuntu or something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ajws7036:
I 'm using windows.. But I do have access to ubuntu.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Ok. I can give you instructions once I have the PIT information.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ajws7036:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mymo82:
All of a sudden my device says that it is not rooted anymore (verfied with rootcheck and the likes). do I have to go through the whole odin procedure again or do you think there must be a faster solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
Hey so any updates?

Update : I didn't realize that the last post only a half hour ago
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Cool. But, of course, Samsung's PIT is unnecessarily unclear. It tells me most of what I need to know (file names) but not which is which partition. So could someone send the output of

mount
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

run on their device (ADB or terminal as root). That should get me all the mapping I need.

Hello, i have YP-GI1 wifi 4.2

kernel 2.6.35.7-CL1041571

where should i go to upgrade to a newer stable rooted rom please? Is it US version?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Here are instructions for making an (almost) complete backup of your device. I do not include boot loaders because I cannot guarantee my accuracy, and a bad flash will leave you permabricked.

First we pull the partitions off your device. Run these commands on your PC in an empty folder after closing all apps and letting your device sit a few minutes. You must use ADB; there is no way around it.

adb root
adb shell "sync; sync; sync"
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 efs.img
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 param.lfs
adb shell "sync; sync; sync"
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 cache.img
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 factoryfs.img
adb shell "sync; sync; sync"
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 data.img
adb shell "sync; sync; sync"
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 user_8g.rfs

Then we need to make a tarball for Odin. On windows use 7zip. On Linux:

tar --format=ustar cf Odin.tar *.img *.lfs *.rfs

And if you want one with md5sums, also do

cp Odin.tar Odin.tar.md5
md5sum *.img *.lfs *.rfs >> Odin.tar.md5

Note that there is some possibility for corruption as Android is still running. Running sync makes sure there's no buffering going on, but it doesn't keep background services from writing to disk. The best way to pull the files is in recovery, but that would require modifying default.prop in the initramfs to give us root access. It's not too hard, but I do not have time currently.

If you really really want one with boot loaders, I will also need the output of

gdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

It will also take me a few days to check sizes etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ozelot64:
@Mevordel:

Curiosity.......there is a way to get all the partitions needed splitting an official stock rom ?

I have one available recovered via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Open the stock ROM in 7zip. The files are named the same. You can mix and match whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ozelot64:
I meant to retrieve the recovery partition starting from a stock rom, having the stock rom I don't need a flashable backup of the system ;)

P.S. As my English is not so good, sometimes I don't understand very well what I'm reading, and sometimes I cannot explain in the right way what I'm thinking.......sorry for that
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
You may still need a partial backup, especially your efs.img, as it isn't included in the stock rom because it is device-specific.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ozelot64:
I've learned something I didn't know....thanks :)

Anyway, have a stock rom could be useful to try to get custom recovery ?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
No, just the kernel(s). I could probably do it in an hour if I had the device, but I don't, and I don't want to break yours.

Can you guys get into stock recovery? I have a potentially dangerous (if you don't know what you're doing) research experiment (for getting a recovery working) that I need someone to do. Could someone PM me that has Linux and is confident with ADB?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ozelot64:
Mevordel, you have a PM ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
