[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
Ok, I’ve been thinking about putting together a tutorial on flashing this ROM for a while, but we've seemingly been on a verge of rooting the official rom, so I hesitated because once the official rom is rooted this info will become obsolete. However, seeing how different people are trying to flash the Korean rooted rom and some are making mistakes with flashing process and others asking questions which have been already answered in a long thread dedicated to SG 3.6 rooting, I decided to do it.

As of now, flashing this rom is the only known and safe method of rooting your SG 3.6, however this may change soon(ish) :)

First of all, a couple of important points you need to know about this rom:

1) It only has 2 languages - English and Korean, if you need other languages, you will need to look for a solution to this... (like - search on the Google Play store for "custom locale", there are a couple of apps that will allow you install a LOT of languages)

2) This rom is for the INT version of SG 3.6 (the one that has a physical "home" button), not the US version (that has a capacitive "home" button). If you install this rom on the US version of SG 3.6, your capacitive home button won't work (all other functions will work, though). If that's a problem for you, don't flash this rom. There's a thread dedicated to finding a solution to this problem, but AFAIK it hasn't been found yet.

Apart from what's mentioned above, this rom is great, I’m running it and loving it. After some cleaning it now runs smoother that the official rom.

Beware, flashing any rom has a potential of wrecking your device! The flashing process itself is intrinsically not 100% safe, so make sure you know what you're doing. However, flashing this rom isn't more dangerous than upgrading your SG 3.6 through Kies (providing you know what you are doing, which this tutorial attempts to help you with).

In this how-to i used pictures and some info taken from a thread by Intratech.

Before you start, make sure you have KIES installed on your computer and that KIES can communicate to your SG 3.6 (meaning it can synch contacts, and do other things).

1. Download the rom from HERE

2. Download ODIN 1.85 from HERE

You need ODIN to flash this rom. Maybe it's possible to use other versions of ODIN, but that's what I and others used and it works well with our device, so why bother.

3. Go into Recovery mode of your device by doing this:

-Turn off your SG 3.6

-Hold Home, Vol +, and Power all at the same time.

-When the Samsung logo appears let go of Power.

(once there, Use Vol + and - for moving up and down the menu, hit the Home button to enter on an item. (or click ok))

... and then "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe cache partition". (i'm not sure if this step is needed, but it won't hurt)

4. Make sure all instances of Kies are closed in Task Manager. Kies conflicts with ODIN, so make sure it's closed! For this open Task Manager on your computer and close everything that has KIES in it.

5. Run ODIN 1.85. You will see something like this:

Don't change any selections, just click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted from the file you've downloaded at step 1. Repeat - do NOT tick anything else and don't change the selections from the default, you may brick your device!

6. Put your SG 3.6 into Download Mode by doing this:

-Turn the device off

-Hold Home, Vol - and Power at the same time.

-When Samsung Logo appears let go of Power

Connect your SG 3.6 by USB cable and wait for any required drivers to install and the ID:COM section to turn yellow like this (on the picture it's blue):

7. Click start to flash. If Odin hangs at setting up connection just unplug the USB cable and re-attach it, Odin should now resume

8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device once the flash has started, it will reboot when it finishes.

9. Once it's done, go into Recovery mode again and "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" once more (basically, repeat step 3). This step is necessary, if you skip it, you may have some programs crashing on your device and other weird behavior.

10. You are done!
