Thanks for the information. I have a Samsung SC-06D that when I am in Download Mode Odin will not load the files that I needed to flash. I just wanted to root the device and install Clockwork Recovery. Is there any link to an instruction on how to use it for rooting? Sorry I am not familiar with Heimdall

Hmm I haven't thought that I would address other device's issues as this is for the galaxy player 4.0. That said, I've done a search and here some instructions on how to root your device:

Galaxy Player People:

Alright guys, after seeing that this thread had a bit of attention, I decided to revamp it a bit from it's old October 2012 look so it can be possible to include all possible Samsung devices. Also I've moved it to the general thread so more people can see it.

Now for others here:

This thread have for objective to help people who have their first time with Odin/Heimdall.. I've tried to make the content on this guide comprehensible so everybody can use these programs without problem.

As I don't have all Samsung devices, I may have missed some stuff. If so please reply so I can correct it.

Also if you have questions/suggestions, I'm always up for them. You can leave them as a reply of the thread.

That said, Enjoy!! :)

help with ACE

Hello friends, I have an SG Ace s5830m.

I have ubuntu.

Can somebody tell me what are the partitions I need to flash to recover my bricked phone?

It needs a complete stock recovery, It wont go beyond the samsung logo. I bought a JIG TAG and I can get to download mode.

I can get heimdall to detect it but I need the files (links please) and partitions (names please) to flash.

Thanks in advance!
[Android General] zaclimon:
The best would be maybe to go to your devices forum to find the right partitions.

This is a great guide to using ODIN for noobs like me!! Now I have a question about re-partitioning. I am going to flash the Terrasilent kernel to my YP-G1 SGP 4.0 (U.S. version) running currently on stock 2.3.6 (unrooted). My purpose for installing the kernel is to be able to use voodoo sound. My understanding is that I do not need to flash a ROM in addition, just the kernel and I'll be good to go - is this correct? If so, then since I am using the stock ROM (albeit not flashing it) that is already on the device from the beginning - do I need to check that re-partition button? Thanks.

So multiview is here I was just wondering if you can customise the apps available in the list like can I add the ebay app and xda developers app to the multiview menu and remove chat on and talk for example? If so how? Or maybe we will have to wait for apps to be updated to support multiview so we can add them? Theres a workaround by using the full webpages but id rather use the apps in split screen.

Also anyone know what the edit feature is for in the multiview list?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] majesty9917:
I have searched and searched and cannot find a solution. Here is my problem. I bought a note 2 weeks ago. I updated to ICS through kies. At the very end of the update my pc had a blue screen of death and reset on me. The update seemed to take though as I was on ICS when I checked my android version. So I proceeded to install cmw and root my phone. I had been noticing some issues regarding uninstalling downloaded apps. I decided to connect to kies again and lo and behold I received a message saying that the update had not completed and I needed to do an emergency firmware recovery. Well, since my phone was rooted kies wouldnt do it. So, instead I decided to try to install official ICS (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) through odin. It fails every time. It goes all the way to the end and fails on (write).

I decided to take my note back to stock GB and see if that may help. I got it back to stock using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506330 and on download mode it showed custom binary: yes and current binary:custom also the flash counter read 4. I am however back to GB. I tried kies and it still says that my phone cant be upgraded through kies. This is what it says under current firmware version: PDA:LA1 / PHONE:LF6 / CFC:LF6 (ATT).

Next I tried installing cmw on the stock build and resetting the flash counter in hopes that kies would then be able to upgrade. Since doing that download mode now shows custom binary: no current binary: official samsung and no flash counter. However, I am still unable to upgrade through kies (still says my device cannot be upgraded through kies) or the flashable odin tar (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) still fails at the end when it has to write.

I just want official ics on my phone. I really hope someone can help me. I am very sorry if this has been answered, I hope you can see that I have done some searching and exhausted any options that I have found. Thank you in advance.

Just wanted to provide a little more info. I am at&t. Also, in the thread i refernced with the stock gb tar there is also a few other files underneath. Stock kernel only odin tars, one of which is for at&t. I did not install that. Also, cwm is still installed on the phone. Can that be whats causing kies to reject the device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
Looks like you have the GB rom and ICS radio and that's why Keis is not recognizing your rom. Flash the stock GB radio from the dev section and Keis should update. If not, you should be able to perform emergency firmware restore through Keis. There is a thread in the general section that details how to enter your serial number, etc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1731654

This procedure should put you on the latest firmware regardless of root or what you currently have installed.

You could flash one of the debloated official ICS ROMs.

I'm not sure but I think Bigfau has the complete official posted. Flappjaxxx has a nice one also

Prior to doing the reset facebook app wouldn't work, phone was deleting pic's on memory card and was registering on a different network other than Bell.

I don't have enough posts to ask a question in the ROM's actual thread, but I am currently running the Unofficial AOKP Jellybean 4.1.1 ROM on my One S from T-Mobile. I'm getting a problem almost every 2-3 hours of the day. I'll be chillin out, listening to music via offline google play, and then... POW! My phone randomly shuts off / soft reboots. By its self. Nothing causing it as far as I'm concerned, except when I'm listening to music, that's almost always when it happens, or right after I send a text message, even when the phone is just sitting on my desk it will randomly reboot on its own. I don't have scheduled reboot checked in the performance manager, and I know my battery / processor temperatures. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
From my experience with unofficial, unsupported devices getting the unofficial upgrades by porting from another phone, this is always an issue. Rebooting and also SOD's. Seems it may be because the sensors can't be ported or something. I'm no dev by far, I'm just a user but I have pretty much come to the conclusion that this is what you have to deal with from ported builds so now I really don't bother with them.
