Didn't someone on the SGP 4.2 root threads uploaded his wifi folder and all you need to do (once rooted) is copy the folder to the directory? If I'm not wrong it fixed most wifi problems. I mean no need to flash :p unless you want to do it for the fun :D

See the part I bolded. Notice that you did not delete or format anything, so all of Samsung's stuff is still there. I recommend delete_recursive("/system"); You will need to set permissions and symlinks for anything to work (especially root) because zip files do not record them.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] android@system:-$:
Now i see that i copied /sdcard, but i did not have a /sdcard in my zip... i have to copy /data... oh my god...

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Examine the updater-script from Chip. You don't need to copy anything in data or sdcard (or touch them at all) for a basic ROM. You can copy my script, but if you are using a different busybox than the one from the kitchen, replace all of the busybox symlink lines with the run_program in yours.

Now i rewrite the updater script with a little more precision.... lol... i moved more apps to data and delted more bloatware from system app... i (first of all) removed all my old work and started it again because i remember that the first time i only deleted 8nit.d folder and not other link/mod thet need init support... lol... tomorrow or saturday i will finish my work and try to flash it again after a deep clean.

The script now symlink automatically (without busybox installer/script) the toolbox and busybox binaries, next i will use terminal ('ls -l') in /system on the player and try to set permission in updater-script...

I've got only one question: Now i'm seeing an updater-script with the set_perm and set_perm_recursive, The systax is like:

set_perm([COLOR="Green"]?[/COLOR], [COLOR="Red"]????[/COLOR], 0[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]XYZ[/COLOR]0, "folder")

for the folders and

set_perm([COLOR="Green"]?[/COLOR], [COLOR="Red"]????[/COLOR], 0[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]XYZ[/COLOR], "folder")

for files

Now, i can say that XYZ (Blue) is the permission code, but how can I determinate what I will write in ? (Green) and ???? (red)? what's the correct syntax of set_perm/_recursive?

EDIT: found how to use it and its syntax! problem solved, permission setted! next: another method 4 use init.d scripts without init.d and without mod the kernel... next of next: latest optimizations and flashing!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] android@system:-$:
Now flashing! BigRom beta 3

EDIT1: Returned Status 6, now fixing

EDIT2: Flashing again... ROM is only 198MB (big).

EDIT4: Flashing... WTF...

EDIT5: Another 6... I will try again tomorrow or never (tomorrow)

This is probably an incredibly stupid question but I have never rooted something before, if I root my Galaxy Player 4.2 will I be able to use chrome on it? It's the only thing I don't like about it, my phone runs Jellybean, my tablet runs ICS and I use chrome on both as well as on my laptop and it's a little annoying not being able to have it on the player.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] 64kb:
We have a few ROMs, nothing compared to what all of the 4.0 and 5.0 owners get to enjoy. We DID have a CM7 project going, but that seems to have died off. A few days ago, I started a project to build CM7 for the 4.2 though. If more developers had this device, we'd have a lot more ROMs.

Well, hopefully after a slow start this wonderful piece of the galaxy family will go a long way

thank you in advance! it is because of people like you that this thing wont die! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JMS74:
Any links on that CM7 project going on?

I need the standard ICS Bluetooth tethering working here, and i think CM7 isnt going to solve my problem.

I just needed to tether my 3G connection from my phone to this by bluetooth (much less battery use) and would need ICS (at least) to do that. :(

The other thing i would love to have is Voodoo Sound Kernels built to this device. After all this device could be even greater in sound quality than it is, it has all the necessary hardware. all thats missing is the software.

Still No root and FIXED DEAD LINKS SOMEBODY GIVE ME THE FILES

I bought the device from second hand
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] warwound:
Does anybody still follow this old thread..?

My company has recently acquired a couple of thousand Galaxy Player 4.2 YP-GI1 XXLC3 all running stock Gingerbread 2.3.6.

I have managed to root and install ClockworkMod.

We develop android software for 'guided tours' and our existing software runs on Kitkat 4.4 and later.

Our software fails to run on the Players as it uses features of the Android API which are not available on Gingerbread.

So we have 2 options:

Install a Kitkat or newer ROM on the Players.

Rewrite our software to be compatible with Gingerbread.

Installing Kitkat or newer would be ideal and save us a lot of time.

But it seems no one has ever created a custom ROM newer than Gingerbread.

Even if such a ROM existed I expect any links to it would be long dead!

So my first question: Does anyone know of a Kitkat or newer custom ROM for the Player 4.2 international edition?

Github lists a CyanogenMod 11 ROM for the YP-G1/YP-GB1 custom ROM.

I tried installing this via ClockworkMod but it fails with an error:

My second question: Is it possible to modify this YP-G1 ROM so that it installs on the YP-GI1?

Thanks for all and any replies.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
What about me? I'm the one who invented the method in the first place :). Just kidding, I'm happy you guys are getting a stock ROM, as I have been rather slow to do it (it involves some missing tools that I was too lazy to find). If all goes well for you guys, hopefully the 3.6 users can get a rooted rom soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
Wait, what are you saying? Are you giving up on us?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alice90:
It's because I didn't thank him :(

hanthesolo, thank you! ;) And say hi to Chubaca.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
No, I'm not giving up on you! Zaclimon made a rooted ROM before me, so if he puts his up I will focus on making one for the 3.6. If all goes well, maybe I will make an tweaked ROM for you guys :).

I was kidding, no need to thank me, it doesn't t really matter. I hope zaclimon gets his ROM up soon for you guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] k4ry4k:
Thanks to all you! But i don't know what you say exactly.

We need two Roms? One for make the root and another if something go wrong with first. Isnt it?

You provide us both roms?

Thanks ;)

Ps. If you need anything else. I will help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Actually, you guys need to find a stock ROM, because there is a possibility that this will not work. I will make a ROM for you guys, I just need to compile a tool on my computer first. As bad off as the 4.0 community I, it's a shame that you guys don't have a dev, and me and zaclimon have to make a rooted ROM for you guys. I hope you can get one soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baruch6132:
yo i made a mistake. me and zaclimon probably got it working but when i was doing it in odin i accidently hit repartition. so if u can help us get the .pit file we need just by explaining the problem a bit better maybe to someone else in this thread who has a 4.2 and using heimdall and extract there pit and send it to me and ill select that and fix mine plz? thx :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
you don't have to anything! don't make it if it's such a husstle. We've tried to provide you both with everything we could, some even bricking their devices along the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Uh, what? I wasn't complaining in the slightest, I just thought it must be dissapointing that you guys don't have a dev with a device to help you (create a custom kernel, ROM, etc, stuff me and zaclimon would be unable to do). Why do people keep misinterpreting what I say? I guess I'm just one of those people ;).

I better news, I have what should be a rooted image, which I can upload soon, but make sure you have a stock ROM to flash to. If this works, I can theoretically use this to create a full restore image for you guys, or someone can follow the partition table and dd the partitions to create a odin-flashable image.

@Baruch, you will need a pit file, and a full recovery package before things will work again, but we can construct people on what partitions to pull (as soon as we can get a pit to examine, or someone can print it via heimdall), and zaclimon or I can create a flashable package for everyone, so you can't brick anymore, hopefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] k4ry4k:
How can we obtain a stock rom? From where? Using download mode could we restore the system?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Well, kies for one, if you can get it working. I also though I say a few floating around in this thread earlier, but that may have been the 3.6 thread. Worse case scenario, you have to wait a few hours while we make a working image for you to flash, so no giant risk here (hopefully).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
We can have a .pit file from heimdall but we need root to make the dd of the actual partitions. So I would need someone with a fully working heimdall and a 4.2. Also it's said that when you update or restore your system, kies download it in a temp folder. I don't think there's an update for the 3.6 and 4.2 so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Well if course, assuming I get my image out there and working.

Can someone out there in the community please restore your 4.2 using kies (Google the instructions)?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] k4ry4k:
Restore for what?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Well, if someone restores, the .tar is saved in a temporary folder, and if we can locate it, you guys can use it to flash back to stock.

For everyone who is waiting, I am uploading the rooted image to my dropbox account right now. Keep in mind that I will be at freshman orientation this afternoon, so I will not be able to release a tweaked image if any issues pop up.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
what do you mean by "restore"?

Ther's no way that i can see to re-update the software. I guess we need someone with a device that haven't been updated
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
I was relating to zaclimon's post above, although it's not important if we get these images working.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Alright so, does someone have a fully working heimdall at their disposition?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
you get me lost with the way you describe things, man :) i cannot follow your logic..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
lol, I can be hard to understand sometimes, my brain spits out info too fast :D. Basically, all you need to do is hook up your 4.2 to a computer, open kies, and select the restore option from the menu (I don't know which). Then, we can help you track down the temporary folder the image is saved in when it's downloaded.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] asheehanjr:
Hello everyone. I just got the Galaxy Player 4.2 today, and if anyone needs any testing to be done ill be glade to help out! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I meant restoring when you are updating and your device messed up when updating.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
:) but that's what i thought you said the first time i read your post and then you said you were talking to zaclimon

anyway in Kies, there are:

Emergency firmware recovery - doesn't do anything, asking for some Emergency recovery code???

Firmware upgrade and initialization - asks for a model name and a s/n and does nothing as well..

basically, Kies tells me - your device is already updated to the latest version, so f/o..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Perhaps it will perform an emergency recovery when you are in download mode? It looks like I got confused at some point.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] saleenman95:
Kies will only perform an emergency recovery if it was stopped during an update. You can't trick it, unless you get a recovery code.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
tried that too - no luck there either, i think saleenman95 is right- there's no way to full the sucker
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Well then, it looks like someone needs to deliberately bork their update process to get the kies restore package, which I am sure noone is eager to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
if i could start the update process there would be no need in borking it - because that would be what we want in the first place
