I was trying to return to stock using Heimdall. It failed for some reason. Whenever I have tried to use it it always says it failed but this time it went further then usual but the end result was a fail. I think it just repartitioned but I'm not sure. Anyways the only thing it would do is boot into cwm and download mode. So I restored a backup a previously made. Same thing it only booted into download mode and cwm. So I went and tried to flash through odin. Everything worked fine and still the same thing. So then I followed the unbrick thread on XDA and flashed the file and everything finished and said successful but my device would not boot up at all. Doing a little more research it seems that the unbrick method was for 5.0 devices only which I don't know why it isn't placed in plain sight for everyone to see but anyways now I have a dead device. Has anyone had any success with fixing this problem?

Can someone please help me
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Ok so:

1. This isn't even talking about development so why are you putting it into dev section?

2. Have you tried a jig to get you back into download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fresh85:
I posted here because I have learned that only here is where people respond but anyways yes I have tried a jig and nothing happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Wrong attitude, man. XDA is a free service and you are soliciting unpaid help. Follow the forum rules.

Most, if not all, of our Galaxy Player forum developers and contributors pay attention to all threads and you will get an answer from someone who knows.

If not, look in the development forum and find a developer and send a PM.

Don't clutter the wrong forum with your pleas for help, acting like you're the only one with that problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
And you expect really having an answer here? You are serious right? Please tell me 1 recent thread on general that haven't been replied and then we can see if we never replies. Geez people are never grateful from what I see...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fresh85:
You guys are getting upset for the wrong reason. I have no attitudes and I'm just looking for help. I tried the other forum and didn't get any reply so I moved it to this forum and I am seeing some activity. I didn't know it was a crime. I was asked a question and an answer was given. Don't mistake a straight forward answer for an attitude. Thanks for your input. Now is there a solution for my problem? The SGP is my little nephews and I experimented with it and messed it up. All I want is a point in the right direction.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
It might be a kernal issue. Try flashing a kernal for the 4 and see if that works.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Alright, let's all take a deep breath and chill. We empathize with you, dude, we really do.

We need to address another XDA rule that you overlooked. (Understandably. No biggie. Not calling you out, just saying.)

When you post on XDA, you need to be as thorough about your problem as possible, so we don't clutter the thread with Q&A.

1. Symptoms of the problem: What works and doesn't?

2. Any reactions to button presses? Lights? Screen? Sound?

3. Any evidence that it's booting?

4. Does your computer register that it's being plugged in?

That'll help you get started. List anything else that might be noteworthy. Someone will help you.

Also, nightfire brings up a good point. Try flashing the stock kernel for your device via ODIN.

EDIT:

What procedure did you go through when you were following the (wrong) un-brick instructions? Because, if your device is totally unresponsive, you've probably got yourself a Galaxy Paper Weight. If it's not something as dire as that, there may still be hope.

Did you attempt to flash a 5.0 bootloader on a 4.0? A wrong kernel flash wouldn't screw up your device as badly as that. You may need to re-partition some things (/efs and PIT, perhaps) and re-flash stock ROM.

But, please, work with us here and be specific about exactly what you did that led up to the current.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fresh85:
Screen doesn't turn on at all and odin doesn't recognize it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fresh85:
I used this method....."[10/13]Brick Station! Here to solve your brickable needs! BOOTLOADERS AVAILABLE!!!". I'm not even sure anymore why I felt I needed to use that method but before I followed those steps my SGP would only go into download mode and CWM. I flashed roms and kernels using odin and it said pass...reset. I even restored an old backup but no matter what I did it always rebooted back into CWM. I followed the brick station steps but not the un-resurrectable part because my problem wasn't that extreme but after following through with those steps I now have a device that requires the un-resurrectable method but now I know that it's only for the 5.0. When I connect my device to my laptop it makes a sound like there is some life but nothing pops up...turns on or flashes. I even used a usb jig to try and get it to download mode but nothing at all.

Thank you guys for the help.

Have you tried this ?http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531850. So what I gather is you can get to the download mode. If you can then you can fix it. The link I posted here is a good place to get everything you need. Use Hemidall method this was the only way to fix it. I had no luck with Odin. If your PC is not seeing your player go into device manager and remove everything under universal USB. after that click on the action menu and scan for new hardware. It will reinstall the usb stuff. reboot PC. Then get the samsung USB drivers install them. Next if you correctly installed hemidall it should work and see your deivice. Read the info ib this link carefully pick the right player. Down load the PIT file for your player. Then in hemidall install the partitions in the correct order as in the instruction. Let me know if this helps or if I can help you more
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Made any progress, fresh85?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fresh85:
No progress with getting my SGP working. I don't think I'm explaining my problem correctly because people are telling me to follow the steps that got me to this point lol but all the help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
If you press and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN for about 10 ~ 15 seconds, do you see a screen with a yellow construction-like sign appear? If so, you are in download mode, and that is a good thing. Try it and let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fresh85:
Nope nothing turns on at all. I dont think its a complete brick yet because i get a beep sound from the computer when i connect it but no signs of life on the device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scratchnbell:
I have the Verizon 7.7 and I've read how good the battery is in the 7.7. However even in airplane mode my tab 2 7.0 battery last a lot longer than the Verizon 7.7. How does the battery on the 6810 compare to the 815?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sos_sifou:
Hi

your Verizon 7.7 is an LTE tablet, your radios is consuming the battery (i think), otherwise my 3g international tab with wifi and gsm ON, has a great battery life.

That is what I was thinking g however, I do have it I airplane mode and then just activate the WiFi and the battery is still poor.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sos_sifou:
well, you may have some apps running all the time and prevent your tab from deap sleep? Try to monitor your processor and see what's going on.

By that I mean, can I just download media say from the browser on the SRT and browse it in a file explorer, and click to play?

Do I (will I?) have a choice of music/video player for that file?

also, since there is no outlook, can anyone tell me if they read about or tried how well does the calendar and email apps work? Most review sites are too excited about the OS and hardware they are neglecting talking about built in apps...

Also, are smartglass features within a contained app? Or is it more universal like AirPlay on iPad?

Thanks

More hands-on info on Windows RT in below link. Metro doesn't have a built-in file manager, and for now you'd need to drop to desktop mode to browse files/folders. A bit klunky. Despite all the hype about it, Metro still has many functionality holes to fill. Since file mgmt is a top need, I imagine there'll be 3rd-party solutions for Metro soon enough.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6392/the-windows-rt-review

>Do I (will I?) have a choice of music/video player for that file?

I've not browsed the Windows store lately, but am not aware of any full-range 3rd-party media player, at least not the kind that can handle a wide range of codecs/formats that we've come to expect from Windows players like VLC. As with many needs, it'll be a waiting game for software to catch up.

Smartglass will be an app, although one would expect substantial integration to MS' existing services over time.

smart glass is still wp8 only?

I know ms is trying to use exclusivity to promote wp, but there are a few million people right now, that would buy this for iphone and android devices.

It's pretty much mixed, there are many settings that you have to use the desktop control panel. There is desktop paint, calculator, notepad and cammand line. The Office is on desktop. Eventhing metro is more convenient when operating with fingers though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
OK so I've searched this a lot and really didn't want to make a thread but it's driving me crazy. My WiFi calling is rock solid all day and then from 6, 7, or 8pm till around midnight it constantly drops and comes back. I've gotten the red invalid certificate thing and reg99 (or 09). Whichever one IS NOT the 911 one, my address is up to date.

Is it network traffic at night or what?? My house has 0 cell coverage so WiFi calling is important. It's getting really frustrating having it drop and come back every few minutes.

I'm on frostyjb, but I think that's probably irrelevant. From the tmo forums it sounds like these issues have been around for a year or so. Does anyone have any advice, or tips or tricks?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Most likely its due to increased traffic on your isp. They probably don't have a very good uplink making it easier to run into these type problems.

That's my best guess seeing as it always happens at the times known for heaviest traffic.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dredly:
I've been using Wi-Fi calling since it was first released on Blackberry, haven't noticed a specific time when it fails, seems to be random.

I will say each phone has had its own "quirks". the HTC Sensation wouldn't like to re-register to Wi-Fi Calling until it established a mobile network connection, pretty annoying

but I will say without a doubt this is the worst phone for Wi-Fi calling I've had to date. Samsung really needs to fix it. generally my issues include:

- One way audio (10% of the time, or more)

- "Digitized" voice calls

- Red certificate error

- WiFi calling just shuts down, in the menus it says "enabling calling", typically takes 3 - 4 minutes to come back up

- Dropped calls, typically due to above

- Wi-Fi signal drops, I have my router on my desk and I can watch the Wi-Fi connection bar randomly drop to 1 / 2 bars for a few mins then go back up, why? no idea. Doesn't happen on my Tab 10.1 or other devices

OVerall its an awesome phone if you have signal, but the wi-fi calling is trash
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] XmentalX:
I am in the same situation and I assumed it was just my phone losing wifi coverage at least now I know im not crazy. I would assume its just something to do with the date turnover because it seems to happen at around 9pm for me which is midnight on the east coast.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mattedwards2686:
I had the same problem, So first i would try updating the firmware for your router. If that doesnt work, Check to see if your router is a single or dual band. I had a single band Linksys,which gave me terrible reception, so I upgraded to a dual band and the problem is much better now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I have a dual band router but I don't use 5g because its range is pretty bad. It has drop outs when I go in the bathroom and that's a big time use for me lol.

When wifi calling drops I still have full wifi signal and the Internet works. It really sucks because I have 0 bars in my house. I've seen 2 bars but as soon as I touch the phone I get the do not enter circle.

I'll try updating the fw to see if it helps tonight. I've read something about the security used can mess with it? I just think it's weird that its usually at a specific time. Ie the security settings is a cop out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mattedwards2686:
Yeah, I read that having mac filtering enabled or a hidden ssid can cause issues too. Check that out while youre updating your firmware. Edit: I also tried a factory reset, which you might want to look into. Also, try testing other kernals/modems!. Thats all I got for ya though. Best of luck
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I blame tmo...

I ran a speedtest immediately to see if anything was suspicious. I still need to play with the router :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mattedwards2686:
I plan on flashing FrostyJB and Xquizit tomorrow. I'll let you know if I can replicate the issue on either rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Is it possible that having Comcast voice is somehow screwing up the internet? Like if tmo and Comcast are sending similar packets??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] captirwin:
Not Only Me

Its nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem.

I updated the firmware on the phone, bought a new router; still have the problem... The little blue phone icon comes and goes, turns red. Seems to do what ever it feels like doing.

Will follow the thread for a solution.

Thanks to all for the effort.:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
The last few nights have been a little better. With it usually coming back after leaving the phone on for a minute or so but it's still dropping every night. It really sucks for me because my house has 0 bars.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sean19661:
Im also having same problem where I live. I have no bars. I use Grove ip to make calls when wifi calling dosent work but I need wifi calling to send and receive mms thats the only down fall to grove ip
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vlcano57:
I have been having the same issues too. Not necesarilly at specific times, pretty much all times of the day. Specifically random disconnects in the wifi calling (losing the symbol all together, then it comes back spontaniously whenever it wants). Probably the most irriating is the one way audio which has occured EVERY PHONE CALL RECIEVED OR PLACED for the 1st time after about 10 minutes of inactivity (meaning everytime I make or recieve a call the one way audio happens and I have to call back or the other party must blah blah blah). And digitized calling is almost a guarantee on every call. All is well with router and wifi settings, no data/cell service inside the building at all.

This is my second GSIII (this is a refurb POS they sent me after my new one had a screen crack). After 2 week back and fourth they are replacing it Ill have a new one tomorrow (prob another dumb refurb) and Ill let you all know if the issue is resolved. My first GSIII (the brand new one I purchased when they came out) had no issues like this at all. Hopefully they replacement will shed light.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
No one can hear me when I use it (8 of 10 times). I also never hear a ring. People are just on the line all the sudden. Sooooo frustrating.

Does everyone have this problem? If not maybe it's a router setting? Would be interesting to know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I've had this. I was calling someone on Verizon and after some silence they picked up. Also if I call my phone from my Comcast landline there's no indication it's going through on the landline but my phone rings. I think these issues have been around awhile and tmo hasn't done anything. I wonder how we can get them to actually look into it...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Flood the support forums maybe?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
Yeah I think we need to bring this to t-mobile attention because most of all that i've read on here, i'm experiencing the same. I've tried different router settings as well but, nothing has worked.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
I tried dmz and opening ports that tmo has on their forums. Nothing worked.

Sent from my SGS3 Stock Rooted & Odexed

I love this thing!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
I've been troubleshooting as well. Looking into my router settings, I had my channel set to 11. I changed it to 1 and so far so good. I'll update as I go.

I'm just sayin!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Why would the channel matter? Not being a ****, but just asking.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
Good question, but honestly, I don't know.

All I know is that I changed the channel setting , and now it's working much better. Changing the channels may not have anything to do with the improvement it could be on T Mobile side maybe they just got their act together. Right now I'm uncertain, I'm still troubleshooting.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Wow. Changed my channel also. I can hear the ring on every call now and every call is working perfect. That is crazy. I tried opening ports, dmz, static ip and nothing worked. Who would of thought changing the channel. Thanks so much. I am stunned :thumbup:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
Glad to have assisted. ... so far every call after the change has been perfect. I'm still crossing my fingers hoping that everything works at least 95 percent.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
So far mine are perfect too and they NEVER work this good.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
What channel did you change to?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
I changed mine to channel one. Same as you. Still working perfect. Blows my mine. I have had nonstop problemswith it until now. I really appreciate the help. In hoping this was the magic bullet. :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
It appears to me we might actually have a resolution here. It'll be good if others would try and report as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
I have been testing it all night. Its golden! I think you might be right.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I'll have to try this once I get home. Thanks for the suggestions. Seems kind of stupid tho. Tmo smh :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
For sure. Let us know if it works for you too. I'm thrilled. Been working perfect all night.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Friday night is usually better cuz people are out ;) wait for a weeknight.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
I don't think so. ... just the other day the one way audio problem was at its worst around 5am. I'm sure data traffic is nowhere near heavy around that time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
My wifi calling was a mess. There is no way I could of made eight perfect calls in a row at any other point since I have had this phone. Now it is perfect. I am thrilled. I can only use wifi in my apt so this is great for me. I can use my phone again at home. :good:

I am also using a static IP fyi.... I had this before though and it didn't work so I doubt that it matters.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
What channel for 5g? I have 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, and 161. 2.4 was on auto but I'll try 1.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
[/COLOR]

Static ip is still a good idea for WiFi calling. I'm doing static also.

---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 AM ----------

I'm using 2.4ghz on channel 1
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Use your 2.4ghz and channel one. I used my 5g and it doesn't work right either.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
First drop of the night... came back after a minute.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
The call dropped? That could be the other person though right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Nope. The service dropped completely. Just happened again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
Drops are gonna happen whether your on WiFi or not. The main issue I was trying to resolve is the one way audio issue. Whereas sometime you can hear the other person but they can't hear you, or vice versa. Or the call connects with dead silence. Changing the channels definitely will not immune you to drop calls.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
It's not the call! It's the service. ie I can't make calls, receive calls, send texts, receive texts. I didn't check what the error was cuz it only crapped out for a few mins.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Right. .. same here. And the channel works. As far as it doing the service I think that is a different issue. There are some fixes that teir two tech support can do for wifi calling and the icon turning red because of errors.

The audio problem is fixed so far. We could start a new thread to see if this can help other people.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
The first three times tonight it just dropped and came back. Just now I got the red icon. FML.

And now it's blue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Call tmo bro. They can do some resets on their end. Besides the 911 thing I'm now sure why that happens. Mine turns red for a sec while its registering and that's it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
Same here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I think I know part of my problem but I have no idea how to fix it. There is a PC on my network that when it's turned on screws up wifi. When I first got my iPad I lost internet every time this PC was turned on and I had to toggle my wifi on and off to get it back for my iPad. Lately when it's turned on my wifi will go from 4 bars to 2 bars on my iPad and another iPad in my house also has issues when that PC is on. I think this may be part of my wifi calling problem but I have NO IDEA what to do about it. :eek:

It's seriously driving me nuts, because it makes absolutely no sense. It doesn't affect the other PC's on my network..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Does your computer tell you there is an IP conflict?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
There's no indication of any problem. It just "happens".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
@jjlean so far how has it been holding up?

I'm just sayin!
