Does Odin require any specific drivers to be installed? I am a bit irritaged, because, if I connect the Phone in Windows 8.1 in Kies Mode, Kies 2.0 complains that this device is unsupported, but stil it is announced by Windows as an MTP device. Is this "Kies Mode" nothing more than Samsung's own name for MTP? I'm just wondering whether this indicates an acutal driver issue or whether I can go ahead with Odin.

Also, one poster mentioned reinstalling the original kernel, but I cannot see where I could get it from. The situation still seems to be, that Samsung does not make the stock rom available. Is that correct?

(sorry for asking too many questions before anything has happened at all, and I understand that they probably should not be posted in the development forum, but as this is directly related to the software announced in this thread, I hope I am not annoying anyone by asking here. If this was just about my own device, I'd probably just given it a try, but this is about my son's device, and I assume he will be seriously mad at me if I brick his player...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] micnicmic:
No problem, XDA is for helping people :) The stock ROM (with the stock kernel) is there: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q346y4dyctfwtp7/xxld1-original.tar.md5.7z if you flash it, you flash the stock kernel too. I don't know why Odin does not recognize your device, it might be because of the driver. Search "Samsung USB mobile driver" from Google, download the latest one you can find and install it. But i don't really know if Odin works in Winodws 8.1... Kies mode is different form MTP is only to connect the device to Kies. Between you must activate the debug mode (settings->application->developement->debug mode) and the USB connection will become "mass storage" automatically, and Odin (if it works) will recognize your device only in mass storage mode :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
Thanks again! Downloaded the file! So, well, hopefully my final question: Do you know where I can obtain the unmodified stock kernel? (My understanding is correct that it is in a separate file? (Until now, my only experience is with HTC phones, and there, the ROMs you get include the kernel.)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] micnicmic:
I don't think you can flash the kernel alone, because i don't think that there is the stock one without changes in a Odin-flashable package. But, as I say, by flashing the stock ROM I posted you will flash the stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
Ah, I misread you! I thought you were saying the opposite.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
Hi, I have now installed the kernel, actually after installing the stock rom you linked, because I had made a stupid mistake...

Now, the device boots, my data is there, but Wifi is broken. I have tried to investigate the matter with adb logcat:

D/WifiSettingButton( 1349): activate()

I/WifiSettingButton( 1349): WIFI MDM Flag is disabled

D/WifiManager( 1349): setWifiEnabledDialog

I/WifiService( 1266): WIFI MDM Flag is disabled

D/WifiService( 1266): setWifiEnabledDialog: true

D/WifiService( 1266): ****************setWifiEnabledDialog(), allowWifi****************true

I/WifiService( 1266): setShowAccessPointListDialog():true

I/WifiService( 1266): setWifiEnabledDialog(): true

E/WifiHW ( 1266): WIFI : Already eeprom in filesystem

I/WifiHW ( 1266): [WiFi.c] insmod() Start!!

E/WifiHW ( 1266): insmod load_file "/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan_drv.ko"

I/WifiSettingButton( 1349): onReceive()-S:2

I/WifiHW ( 1266): [WiFi.c] start init_module() Start!!

E/WifiHW ( 1266): return of insmod (args:) : ret = -1, Exec format error

E/WifiService( 1266): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.

I/WifiSettingButton( 1349): onReceive()-S:4

Apparently, the kernel module cannot be loaded. "Exec format error" - that's strange. Usually I see this kind of error when I want to run a binary on the wrong architecture. Could there be a version mismatch between the stock insecure kernel and the stock firmware you linked?

Even if, don't the modules come packaged with the normalboot.img?

uname -a on the devices says

Linux localhost 2.6.35.7-CL1184533 #1 PREEMPT Fri Aug 17 10:28:51 KST 2012 armv7l GNU/Linux

I just pulled the kernel module via adb, ran strings tiwlan_drv.ko |grep -i 2.6

and it says

vermagic=2.6.35.7-CL1072179 preempt mod_unload ARMv7

which is indeed different, the kernel version is higher:

2.6.35.7-CL1184533

Do you know where I can get the stock firmware which the developer used? Kies keeps telling me that I have the latest firmware.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
Hi, while searching for a stock XXLH3 firmware to install together with this kernel, I came accross this page in Italian:

http://www.androidworld.it/forum/al...i-di-root-su-galaxy-s-wifi-3-6-yp-gs1-101815/

I suppose, it is you who is writing there. I downloaded the XXLH3 package. Is it for the EU device with physical home button? The factoryfs has a newer date. Is it modified from the original? Then, in your post on that page you seem to describe that one first has to install the entire rom and then the stock rooted kernel. Why so if the rom is already rooted?

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] micnicmic:
Yes, it is for the EU device; the XXLH3 shouldn't be modified (it has not root permissions), but you can install the insecure kernel with CWM on it:so you need first to flash the ROM, then the kernel and finally flash SuperSU .zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
But with Heimdall, can't I, after extracting the images from the archive just install the factoryfs.img together with the rooted normalboot.img containing the stock insecure kernel in one go? Is it that with Odin you have to flash the entire ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] micnicmic:
I don't know, because I don't use Heimdall; and yes, with Odin you must flash the entire ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
Heimdall doesn't seem to handle tar archives, you have to extract them img files first to flash them. The archive contains a normalboot.img, a factoryfs.img and a cache.img. So it should not be an issue, just to replace one normalboot.img with the other, wouldn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] micnicmic:
I really don't know, but I would suggest you to install the entire rom, just to be sure

I've seen your PM, however I would like to know if it's possible to pass me your wifi driver module, I can try to fix it up.

"Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 7 avec Tapatalk"
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
Hi, I have now finally proceeded: I flashed the stock insecure kernel together with the factoryfs.img from the ROM. Works just fine! Thanks again so much for your guidance!!! :victory:

Still, do you say, the ROM itself is not rooted? In that case the file name XXLH3-root.tar.7z is a misnomer, isn't it? (It would of course be great to have a non-rooted kernel image to restore in case the device has to be sent in for repair)

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I have now found a matching ROM for your kernel. I am not sure that trying to fix the kernel module makes a lot of sense. As I see it it is simply a version mismatch between different builds. I now have the XXLH3 firmware together with your kernel and everything seems just fine. The only problem is, that all the download links for the XXLH3 firmware here on XDA are dead. It was really like looking for a needle in a haystack! Is there a reason why everyone took their files down? Or is it that they get removed when you use too much bandwidth?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I don't have really any idea regarding why it gets taken down but a solution to the problem would be that somebody puts a mirror so it would be needed eventually. Also for the module, it's possible to fix the mismatch. :p

"Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 7 avec Tapatalk"
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
Regarding the mismatch, it was the tiwlan_drv.ko module contained in https://www.dropbox.com/s/q346y4dyctfwtp7/xxld1-original.tar.md5.7z which does not want to play with your stock insecure kernel.

Regarding mirroring, I have a bunch of largely unused Google accounts, where I could mirror some essential packages. Also, Ubuntu One offers free cloud storage and you can share public links. For both I just don't know whether where are any possible repercussions in terms of excessive bandwidth usage.

Oh, well, and one more question: Do you also have a stock non-rooted normalboot.img, just in case one needs to restore warranty? I have tried to get rid of the yellow triangle with triangle away. It resets the flash counter successfully, but the triangle remains regardless.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] micnicmic:
Well I don't know, but I think it has been modified to have root permission at the flash of SuperSU

Inviato dal mio GT-I8150 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The stock kernel doesn't change anything regarding the triangle, the only way to remove it would be to use a jig.

"Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 7 avec Tapatalk"
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] yahya69:
Actually, my experience is different: I flashed the non-rooted stock firmware from https://www.dropbox.com/s/q346y4dyctfwtp7/xxld1-original.tar.md5.7z and the triangle went away.

Regarding jigs, does any Samsung USB jig do or do you need a spefic one for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Ahh Alright then. Well as for the jig, any should work if it's just to reset the counter.

Hope it helps!

hey zaclimon,

once again, thanks for this kernel :)

could you share the keys used to sign the recovery?

when i manually install my custom rom from zip it works fine, but when i use /cache/recovery/command to install it i get

Finding update package...
I:Update location: /data/update.zip
Opening update package...
I:1 key(s) loaded from /res/keys
Verifying update package...
I:verify_file returned 1
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

I have found your /res/keys file in a few source packages so it seems you did not make your own… but i can't find where the openssl keys are

alternatively, if you don't have the keys, could you give me your source so i can sign my own recovery with my own keys? or maybe you could make another with some custom keys you could release?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well personally, at the time I used a template from the 5.0 so the keys would be the same as the 5.0. Though the best would be in that case to build your own cwm or use Androthan's CWM because it would more versatile for everyone here.

Alternatively, I do have my source in my github under the initramfs-ypgs1 if I remember correctly.

Thank you. I actually found another way to automate flashing via recovery that did not require signatures. command does but extendedcommand can do basically anything (to figure out that extendedcommand even exists i had to figure out how rommanager was able to install my rom but my cache commands were not)

I'm on the JellyWiz RLS7 rom and since I'm a noob I'm not aloud to post in that specific thread. Ever since yesterday, I noticed that my 4g lte logo had gone white. I thought this was curious but I put it aside. Later I noticed I could not connect to the Google Play store and I remembered that if you have your background data restricted you cannot connect to the Play store.

I have NOT manually set it to disable background data as you can see in my screenshots. Am I just dumb and disabled something or is this a rom issue/Verizon issue?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grievous2004:
Hello, I got an xperia z three weeks ago and it has always worked perfectly until yesterday: I'm experiencing strange mobile data connection issues. I can surf the web but if I disconnect and connect again, the connection may freeze: the H icon (or g or e..) appears and phone seems to transmit data as it shows an up arrow but the down arrow never appears and I can't surf the web. Toggling data and airplane mode may allow me to connect successfully but it's always pretty random..

I started thinking it was a software issue.. So i flashed The phone with the utility twice.. No success. Carrier issue? Nope: it's all ok and apn settings are ok as I can use them. Hardware issue? Perhaps as I found out that removing the SIM card and inserting it back in a certain way could make the difference (higher rate of successful connections).. So what do you think? Could be the SIM card (I got a new one in December though), the phone or something I did not consider? Sadly I can't test a different SIM now but as soon as I can find one, I will try. Thank you!

The are not available, yet. But soon (end of March or beginning of april). Please do not Pre-Order! The prices are much higher than (80-100% more) in china and never ever pre order with aliexpress! Only order when it's really available.

Got mine a couple days ago. Running miui v5, tried a couple of the other roms floating around. Does not come rooted, but is easily rooted.

Am in Canada, and the only cellular carrier it will connect to (via 2g) is Rogers.

[HTC One S] Neurotical:
Hi all. I have a unique problem here... not sure if it's a software of hardware issuse. Maybe you can help me out.

My phone can read all storage space while I am in the operating system. Internal storage reports as 2.34GB, SD card (also internal) reports as 9.92GB. I have no problems copying, reading, and deleting files using "es explorer" or transfering files via various wifi file tansfer programs back and forth with my desktop.

The problem lies with the fact that I cannot use the USB port at all except to charge. Even in HBOOT the computer doesn't read it! For example, if I connect the phone to the computer while it is in HBOOT and select FASTBOOT, I do not see "FASTBOOT USB", it just remains as FASTBOOT. ADB from my computer cannot detect the phone either. I have tried all my USB ports, installed HTC USB drivers, Android SDK (and associated USB driver package), tried a different computer, tried 4 different USB cables, but none of this works.

What is strange is that yesterday the phone suddenly worked via USB! I was amazed that after 2 months of it not working it just randomly started again, but figured I did something random to make it work. Then I unplugged it and then re-plugged it and now it doesn't work again... Absolutely awkward, I hope someone can help me at least identify what the problem is!

I'm currently using the latest Cyanogen 10.1 mod (March 12th), have it unlocked, and am using CWM 5.3.6. I would really appreciate any insight or help, thanks so much in advance.
[HTC One S] Neurotical:
OMG now it's working again. A constant factor seems to be the use of "AirDroid"... Whenever it is open and transfering the SDCard becomes recognizable and the computer can connect... Very awkward... any ideas as to the issue?

I'm scared to touch anything on it. It's transferring some music via USB.
[HTC One S] Neurotical:
Now I unplugged it from my computer and the re-plugged it back in and it no longer recognizes my SDCard at all... :( What is going on? It seems like a software issue but what could it be?
[HTC One S] Neurotical:
Well now it works. I plugged it in and nothing happened so I walked away. When I came back it was asking to turn on USB mode! I wasn't using any wireless wifi transfer programs, it was just in regular home screen mode and that's all... it just decided to work... huh. This appears to be random but it can't be... there must be some reason.
[HTC One S] Neurotical:
Well it's still working, but I haven`t unplugged it yet. The phone rebooted itself mid-transfer for some reason, but it still can be used as a USB drive. It seems that after I had begun using the internal SDCard to store stuff on (first via wifi transfer) it has become more "recognizable" through the USB connection... Could there be something wrong with the internal SDCard itself and not the USB connection? Can I reformat it to start with a clean slate?

Like right now my card is using 90% of it's storage... and it's been more recognizable now than ever before... I used to keep it at about 10-15% usage...
