Battery issue

I am reporting a battery issue after rooting/flashing ROM.

I own a Samsung GP 4.2 YP-GI1CW/XAC (Canada).

After rooting and flashing the ROM that is posted on this thread, my device is not recognized anymore by KIES when plugged with USB. I can easily overcome using AIR KIES, but still the device is not recognized anymore on my computer.

In addition, it seems that the battery is not charging when plugged with the AC adapter. I have tried another samsung wire (from an old phone) that has the same specs, and it does not charge either.

Any ideas how to overcome this issue? I tried removing battery. I also tried wiping battery memory in recovery mode but I can't access advanced options for some reason.

Thanks in advance.

[EDIT] : I forgot to mention that I also calibrated battery right after root, when full charge, using BatteryCalibration app.

Hi,

I have a YP-GI1CW/XEU model, It's completely BRICKED!

I have tried Odin, Heimdall no luck. I accidently flashed the wrong Kernel i think.

The player is stuck with Samsung Galaxy SII logo with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside it.

Help anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] brentb636:
Can you get into the download menu, using the home, down volume, and power keys ? If so, then try again with the correct stock firmware.

Take out and replace the battery, first thing.

After nervously rooting the Player, everything seems to work as well as before. I've tested battery charge, WIFI, root access, camera, GPS, etc. Still nervous, though. :) Would love to see the simplicity of ClockWork Mod, and Cyanogen roms for this baby. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Viper888899:
Hi,

Yep i can get into the download menu, tried to flash with Odin with the Rom provided on first page, it just fails.

Tried using Kies, it wont detect the player to do a restore on it.

I managed to flash the rom using Heimdall, but how do I flash the kernel using Heimdall?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] brentb636:
Don't know the answer to that ! Do you have a US version of the player ( mine is YP-GI1CB/XAA), and if SO, then are you using a ROM from Alice90's thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1885374 ? You should be using the US version firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Viper888899:
No, its a UK version

A big thanks to everyone involved. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zebluk:
Thanks everyone for feedback :)

@PurQuebecois

As I'm not providing support for these roms (I browse this forum something like once a month) answers might take a long time. Also remember this rom is for XEF version (French) so you will likely run into troubles if flashing on another version.

That being said, you could install Zadig drivers (link in OP) to try re-establish recognition of SGP42 by Windows.

If Zadig re-enables the connexion PC - SGP42, then you might try a reset via Kies.

For the battery problem, I'm not sure, first time I hear this. Sounds like you flashed the kernel instead of just the factoryfs. If this is the case, to recover your stock kernel you will need a friend with the exact same device model who accept to flash the factoryfs on his device, and then thanks to root privileges, extract his kernel in a file, which you then flash back on your device. But first try the Kies way.

Good luck,

zebluk

Hi all,

First of all thanks a million to the thread starter for posting this guide.

Please excuse my noobness..Using Windows 7 Im trying to root my Galaxy S 4.2 with Odin but cant seem to get beyond the device being detected. The earlier version of KIES on the phones SD card didn't seem to work with finding the drivers. The samsung drivers were eventually found, installed and the device recognised in windows but only by using the very latest version of KIES downloaded from Samsungs website. , The player is in USB debugging mode.

I've only got this far...

"- change active directory to where you installed AndroidSDK or ADB, on a windows system I would press Win+R then type cmd to open a console, and then in the console:

Code:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"

No problem

- make sure your device is detected-

Code:

adb devices

Should show your device serial number and status. If you don't see them, check if: you have the correct drivers / USB Debugging is enabled / USB cable properly connected

I think the device is recognsed, it displays - "57180006FFFC0000 device".... , but no status?

- backup your /system directory

Code:

mkdir sysbkup

All I get is Access is denied

What's the likely cause? Any pointers or advice gratefully received.

Thanks,

Ari

Scrub the above... I took a big chance and rooted without backing up my files, I'm just glad Wi-fi is still working. It seems to have rooted fine as I'm getting superuser privelages now.

I immediately downloaded Voodoo sound plus (The paid version) only to find that the stock kernal doesn't support it... gutted!

Does anyone know if the 'stock' kernal which will give a SGS2 boot logo (linked in the original post) will be compatible with Voodoo?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zebluk:
Hi, happy new year everyone :)

Glad you rooted your SGP even if you took risks... just for the sake of competeness, your problem after "mkdir" command was probably local, meaning on your computer you didn't have the permission to create a directory.

About the stock kernel, do not use it as you already have it. "stock" means "default", it's the kernel you have out of the box. As my file is for XEF version of SGP4.2 you probably should not try it either way, because very likely:

- you could brick your device

- it won't make voodoo sound work anyway

Sorry, maybe other SGP owners could point you in the right direction.

@V4Vendetta: have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2026959

@Ari33: I think that Voodoo Sound is specifically developed for the Wolfson Microelectronics WM8994 chip, but our player has Wolfson Microelectronics WM1811, so it is not matter of kernel, but matter of hardware.

I think you could contact the developers and ask them, as stated in Voodoo Sound Plus page:

"Please contact me if the module option behavior is unexpected on any of the device listed here, and also if your device is missing.

As I publish updates very often, enabling auto-updates is recommended.

If the program don't work for you, contact me for support or a refund via the email address below."

Hope this help.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
It's a WM1811 but because your kernel is the 2.6 one, it's configured like the WM8994. Maybe voodoo could work on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ozelot64:
I 'm not sure, my knowledge is not enough, but in original thread , Supercurio (Voodoo creator) stated:

And SGP 4.2 and SIII have the same DAC, so, imho, it seems to be hardware matter......

has anyone rooted a YP-GI1CW/XEU ?

its been bought in the UK, so im assuming that the 'U' indicates the UK version

Yes, XEU stands for United Kingdom.

What is your buil number ?

( Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number )

Build number;

The build version is the same that my YG-GI1 has before it was updated, but the kernel version is different......

Have you checked if updates are avaible via Kies or OTA ?

Alternatively if you have the possibility to upload your rom I could root it for you.

Have a look at 3d in my signature ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] xedge:
ive checked for updates via both methods twice now, today & a few days ago.

Current firmware version: PDA:LC3 / CSC:LC2 (XEU)

Latest firmware version: PDA:LC3 / CSC:LC2 (XEU)

how would i upload thte rom? do i just do a backup (as per 1st post) & upload it?

thanks

from reading this thread & others, i think the 'XEU' code is the important bit,

(interestingly X is avaiation code for International)

XEU > UK

XEF > France

XEH > Hungary

XEG > Germany

XET >

XSH seems to be Hong Kong (no idea what the S signifies)

XTC > Philippines

XME >

XAZ >

XAX > Mexico (?)

XAC > Canada

XAA > USA (America)

i *think* that this code refers to the wifi drivers/settings, & a few others

different countries have different regulations around wifi usage, controlling the channels available & the power level of transmissions. therefore if you have the wrong wifi drivers/settings, 2 things could happen;

1) you wont be using the full channel allocation, eg if your country allows up to channel13, & your drivers only allow up to 11, you wont be able to connect to any wifi-points using channels 12-13

2) if your country only allows up to channel11, & your drivers are up to channel13, youll be searching (& transmitting) on channels 12-13, which is a waste of power, & illegal in some countries

Xedge, now I am outside for the weekend and I have some difficulties with my pc(where are stored my links and other stuff about the matter)

For the moment:

1- if you don't have available an official complete rom you can only follow two way to get you SGP rooted:

- follow tris great tutorial, backing up you wifi drivers

or

- dump your system partition and repeat the procedure to get it rooted ( i can help you in this last step)

2- google for sammobile to get the complete list of international codes used by Samsung foto their roms.

Only one thing....I think that we are going to go off topic here, perhaps it would be better to go ahed with this "conversation" in another place more specific....

At last...sorry if I could'nt explain me better, but my English is not good enougth... :(

Hey, thnks for the really nice post .I have rooted my device YP-F1CW/CHN sucessfully

Anyway I meet some problems and wondering if you can help me?

1. The system was continuing crush if I try to open Google Play

2, The system was continuing crush if I open wi-fi

3. It seems the root ROM didn't installed any application at all? Not even superuser? Is this mean root fail?

4. I can type th su command on adb shell, but on the device I was unable to proceed any operations if it required su permission, like delete the pre-install apk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] sinbad21:
Hi,

My device is a YP-GI1CW/XEU, I rooted it with the rooted rom and wifi is ok (I live in France). I've compared the /etc/wifi folder beetwen the stock rom (XEU) and the rooted rom, and there is absolutely no difference. So if you own a XEU device, it's not necessary to restore the original wifi folder, it's the same.

I've also compared the whole roms (XEU/rooted XEF), here is the result :

Has anyone tried flashing the YP-GI1CW (white/europe) with the YP-GI1CB (black/america) rom/kernal and vice versa? I'm in north america and have a white/europe version as the black/america versions are already out of stock.

In theory it should work if they are the same hardware, just white vs black. The wifi would work since I'm in north america.

Would it be safe to try if I have both roms/kernals and can flash back if something doesn't work properly?

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

What you mean no wifi? It cannot be connected with any rooter? Or it says error like others problem. If so ,then toy have to back up the wifi drivers from your back up

Just go to the folder platform-tools ,open the command prompt and paste

adb push sysbkup/etc/wifi /sdcard/wifibkup

this will make a folder with the files needed for wifi. The tutorial at the first post is very helpfull,try it

If your friend's SGP 4.2 is the same version as yours,yes you can restore his wifi files!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alenotario:
I already replaced the wifi files from my backup! The wifi was working fine, but I still wasn't able to connect on my university's wifi, but this is a known bug in Android 2.x.x. But when I was trying to fix this issue, I must have corrupted some files, I changed my wpa_supplicant and my wpa_supplicant.conf files, but even restoring these two files from my backup I had aways an error message when I tried to turn wifi on. I flashed the kernel, but no sucess... So I took my player to the assistance, even knowing that I lost warranty for flashing the kernel. But for my surprise, they said that it was being covered by warranty still! Even my counter saying "5" flashes... I will get it in a little while, hopefully it works out!

But, thanks anyway!

YP-GI1CW/XEG is rooted

First thanks for your tip, this was the right driver to start with.

After installing the driver it was a piece of cake. Ok during the first restore i did some typing mistakes. But in the second change everything OK.

My (or my son's) YP-GICW/XEG is rooted. Including WIFI and Playstore is working again.

The best was all my APPs are still there, nothinmg changed, only i have root now. (Checked it yes)

Now a new rom would be great. I'm not the specialist. But when i see my old SGS I9000 (almost the same processor) and this is running with the newest 4.2.2 android JB.

So hope good luck for the devs, i wish you all luck and thanks for this first step...... :good::good:
