Found a workaround for my 2 problems:

- GApps (and maybe other zips) must be flashed before first boot, otherwise you can't change the cpu governor anymore, don't ask me why. :eek:

- Never try to wipe cache/dalvik, the device will behave in strange way: random reboots, and every boot shows "Android is upgrading" message. Seems it can't rebuild the dalvik cache anymore.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] shivam89:
I don't think so, because your device is hard(ware)-linked to a MAC Address via the WiFi-chip.

There was somewhere rooted 2.3.6 (maybe mevordel posted it) which (for me) after flashing (after brick and so) takes me always to recovery :) It saved me like 1k times

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
The problem is we can't communicate with the bootloader because the proprietary kernel module is only for the 2.6.35.7 kernel. Go back to stock or another ROM with the 2.6.35.7 kernel if it's that much of a problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sultanxda:
That's probably because of the bootloader, and you'd realize just how awesome it is if you thought about it. Since you cannot remove the battery on the SGP5, there is no way to stop bootloops and power down the device except by plugging in the charger and unplugging it once it gets to the charging screen ;) It's saved me on a multitude of occassions when testing kernels and discovering that they caused bootloops; in order to get my SGP5 booting again I needed to enter the recovery after flashing Entropy's kernel, which has never been possible for me without powering down the device first :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
adb shell su -c 'sleep 5; reboot recovery' &

Maybe that would work. But it enters recovery because a file exists, so just unplug and reboot and it should still go to recovery. If not, stage1 init needs to be fixed. Actually, thinking about it, an even better solution is

adb shell touch /cache/.startrecovery
adb shell sync

And reboot by holding the button. This is, in fact, just what reboot recovery does (see RECOVERY_PRE_COMMAND or such in BoardConfig.mk).

Would it work on a USA galaxy player? I really want to try this ROM since i havn't been able to use cm10.1 cuz my wifi doesn't turn on at all. Its my birthday today(April 13th) and it would be amazing if somehow my device's wifi works on cm10.1 <3
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
I am truly sorry if it appears rude or something alike to you all, but I honestly think that it's very important that you can get to recovery even when you cant get into system (I am glad that I didnt flash this yet)

and also when this is a known issue, but why isnt it listed in the op. people should be warned about this if you ask me coz they'll come flashing with an over-confidence thinking "We have the recovery, so nothing can happen" while (even if just soft-) bricking their device...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sultanxda:
Nothing can happen because we have Download mode and Entropy512's kernel, plus Heimdall is amazing and saved my SGP5 probably 10-15 times.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
but one question why can you get into DL mode if it doesnt even recognize the button combo for recovery???

but still as it is it should either be fixed or listed in the known issues...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sultanxda:
Download mode comes from the bootloader so it'll always be there regardless of the kernel. The recovery comes from the kernel, and the button combo to get into the recovery also comes from the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
ok that's bad and good...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mr_ggcstop:
I compiled US kernel. Replace boot.img in cm-10.1-20130413-UNOFFICIAL-venturi_usa with this http://www.mediafire.com/view/?44g77ycgpg9110r and than you can flash rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] shivam89:
So I flashed this ROM (about 3 times to get it working)

And it works great! It's really smooth and haven't experienced FCs!

The downside is that I can't easily get into the recovery. That's the reason that I had to flash the ROM 3 times, I got stuck in a bootloop and ADB didn't work. So I had to flash the stock ROM, reflash rj''s kernel restore nandroid backup of ICS and them flash this one. And that failed 2 times!

But overall, because it'a an alpha, it's really great!

Great achievement of you devs! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] OguzhanVarsak:
Why recovery not openin? I try "power+volume up" but not working.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
get one page back, there you have it. but in short:

the kernel has a "little problem" so you can only get into recovery from the running sytsme if this even works...

only way out is flashing a stock kernel with recovery...

download mode works as there was said...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] OguzhanVarsak:
Or reboot into recovery to Rom Manager :P
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
I will try to get a kexec kernel working so booting into recovery boots a 2.6.35.7 kernel so we will be able to boot out of recovery

The BT works in that other build though? Screen too?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ratchewer:
Great work Jacpot. Big thumb up appreciation.

Just my thought: anyone need of the Rear camera urgently. i just realized you can enable Screenshot

in the system interface settings. system setting>system>power menu

After run the camera and hold the power button for the power menu to show up and use screenshot. because

captured images cannot be saved at the moment and jackpot is working on it and am too.

Does anyone play aspalt? the apk seem to determine a smaller size of sdcard.

Maybe because all the app data are on the external sdcard.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Ok. It's not a little problem. It's a feature. Because on 3.0, if you used the button combo, you would be stuck in recovery permanently. Be thankful he intentionally disabled it. And he's working on a workaround, but it is quite complicated, so please stop complaining.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
why would we be stuck permanently???

and sorry again I didnt know that...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
This conversation can help you:

http://epiccm.blogspot.ca/p/stock-firmware.html

Basically the partition responsible of getting out of the recovery is param (bml6 on galaxy s series devices such as I9000 and YP-G1, don't know for YP-G70). The param.blk is responsible to getting the command into the bootloader. When you're doing the 3 button combo (download or recovery) your command is perceivable to the kernel, which will send it to the param partition with which will send it to the bootloader and boot the correct partition. Because of the 3.0 kernel not being compatible with the j4fs module, the param can't clear the bootloader and it will always be stuck into recovery. The solution for us (4.0 users) was to compile a 2.6 kernel that could support j4fs and then sending it into the empty recovery partition.

After seeing that he was running into some issues with the recovery partition, we used kexec to boot into the 2.6 kernel first. The 2.6 kernel principal function is to clear the param so the bootloader can boot into the system.

Jackpot, I think it should be possible if you could use the j4fs of the galaxy s2 as they have native 3.0 kernel. If you can't, you can still make a kernel to the recovery partition which will clear the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
thanx for the background info.

whether it's a feauture or a problem (or in this case - both) users should know that before flashing something before thinking about it...

also thanx Jackpot for trying to find a workaround...

and sorry again if I appear rude ->my signature, 2nd line
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] suyash1:
Actually if you read the OP, it says you have to use the reboot recovery option to boot to the recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
well it's quite hidden in the text...

sorry for not seeing it...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
I don't think our devices ever use the recovery partition though, and AFAIK there's no way to actually choose to boot from the recovery partition

I'll try the j4fs, but I got a kernel panic last time I tried IIRC
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I do think there's a way to change the boot priorities, but if you can't, you can always try kexec to boot the 2.6 kernel first.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Or take a param.lfs (only 5MB) that we know is set to normal boot (in the zip) and extract it to the recovery partition (8MB mmcblk0p12) on install. Then we can dd it back to mmcblk0p9 in first stage init on recovery boot. We could even ext4 format it if we wanted to (so we don't have to specify a size to dd it back, and it's safer in case mmcblk0p12 doesn't actually have a param.lfs in it). That means no extra reboots and only a short delay on recovery boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
I just tried the kexec hardboot thing, but my device hang on the 2.6.35.7 kernel w/ hardboot kexec. I was gonna enter the recovery and kexec the 3.0 kernel but my device got stuck on the bootlogo

Would it be possible to dd a clean, (normal boot) param.lfs to the mmcblk0p9 block each time it enters the recovery? That way, the bootmode would be cleared and the device would reboot normally since whatever told the device to boot into recovery would be overwritten by what we just dd'd there
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
I may have no experience as a rom dev but it seems to make sense an should be worth a try...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hmm seems interesting, never thought of it but it can work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
It appears as if it does work, actually. Looks like I'll just have to pack the dd'd .img that does whatever's necessary to boot normally when in recovery and pack it on board with the first ramdisk and dd-if it to mmblk0p9 in the first /init right after it checks for bootmode = 2 or /cache/.startrecovery
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
so that means that you can use the recovery to get out of bootloops now, well that's really nice...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
I just said that :p

Cool. Do you plan to stick the 5MB image in the kernel/initramfs or put it in /system or the recovery partition?

EDIT2: Just speculation here, but I think that this might be because when you plug it in with the device off, it boots into the OS instead of the battery charging screen. As a result, the OS just shuts off abruptly when unplugged like the charging screen would.
