Do a wipe data and see if your errors are resolved
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
I did, it gave me the 'error can't mount /system, /data, etcetc' thing, and then rebooted, and now it's stuck in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iurnait:
you probably need to find the pit file and flash that via odin. just keep holding the power and volume down keys until you are in recovery. then put the pit file in odin along with the stock firmware and flash.

That PIT file is invalid. It has never worked and never will. If you need the pit file then get it from Adam Outler's post that has all the PIT files for the all players 5.0.

I didn't know what I was doing when I made it. I just dumped the partition that has the pit file on it and that is what that is. NO ONE SHOULD EVER USE ueki8.pit FROM YP-G70_UEKI8_MIN !!!

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Seems like your partitions are effed and you need to repartition. You need to find the right PIT file. I did a quick search and I couldnt find it. There used to be a post by Adam Outler in the dev section that had all the PIT files in it. I'll keep an eye out for it.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Found it here www.mediafire.com/?usaodcrrgvtvws5

This time try installing that first ROM in the instructions but this time check repartition and use that pit file.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
Still didn't work. A friend of mine suggested I try remapping the partitions and such from within ADB shell. Does anyone here have an idea of how I can go about doing that?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I've never done this before but I have a general idea of how it's supposed to go.

1. Flash Entrophy's Daily Driver Kernel, that gives you su in ADB.

2. Boot to recovery.

3. While the player is in recovery mode. Use ADB shell.

4. su to get root.

5. Use fdisk to create partition table.

Note: Here is a write up I did along time ago about the partitions. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IFILdm_kD223Ov2gz0c04moEbhkUig6bW8mmPL859UQ

I remember posts where other dev's have helped people recreate there partition tables. I really only seemed to work if they knew about creating partitions in the first place. This isn't going to be easy... Good luck!

I am in the exact same situation all the red errors.. Have nearly 50 tabs open now and I still havent found a fix. A bad rom screwed me over. Please email me eddymontano92@gmail.com
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
I flashed the Entropy kernel, and ran su from ADB shell, but it returns saying "/sbin/sh: su: not found"
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
The fdisk command worked.If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to walk me through on how to set up the partition tables myself?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Like I said, I've never done this before, so if I try to walk you through it, I'll probably make mistakes but, let me look at the man page for fdisk and see what I can come up with...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
Alright. Thank you very much for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Step 1 would be to assess the damage... We need to see what state the partition table is in. To do that we need to see a list of the partitions. The device name is mmcblk0 and on my device it's /dev/block/mmcblk0. I'm running a jellybean kernel and your running gingerbread so the location may or may not be different. Use cd to go to /dev/block and see if mmcblk0 is listed. If it is there if it is, then from that directory type: fdisk -l mmcblk0. If it's not there try: find -name mmcblk0

Then I need the output. I guess you could take a picture...

NOTE: IT'S AN L NOT A 1: fdisk -lower case L

NOTE: IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER DEV'S OUT THERE WHO WANT TO CHIME IN IF I'M MAKING MISTAKES, FEEL FREE!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
It's been a while since I've used Linux command, lol. But here's the results.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Holy effing crap... No idea how that's even possible. I attached the output of mine.

Step 2. It seems like you only have one partition while there should be a bunch so what we need to do is recreate the partitions listed in the attached picture. This is where I get a little fuzzy. Doing research...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
Alright. I appreciate your effort.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
It's no problem... Just don't be too disappointed if we don't get it working....

OK, so using my image as a guide we are going to try to create mmcblk0p5.

Take it slow, becareful and make sure to enter all info correctly..

1. So first type: fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0 - note there is not "-l" this time.

A. This should give a prompt "Command (m for help)" NOTE: I'm doing this in Ubuntu so I don't accidentally screw mine up. Let me know if it's different.

2. Enter "n" for new partition.

3. We should get a choice of (1. primary or extended) (2. logical)

4. I believe we want logical... not absolutely sure but logical says that it starts numbering at 5 and our partition is "mmcblk0p5"

5. Over the next few prompts you should be asked for information that is contain in my image. If you get tripped up. Send me a picture... I don't have any free space to actually try in Ubuntu...

6. If all goes well you should be able to fdisk -l mmcblk0 and all the info about mmcblk0p5 should look identical to mine...

7.if that is successful we are going to repeat until we have them all.

NOTE: if it asked for a name for the partition refer to my heimdall output post for the names. Case sensitivity may be important for the names so...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
So I'm going to repeat for the rest of the partitions?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Wait, enter w (for write to disk and exit) then use fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 to make sure that it was created properly. If so then repeat.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
Alright, I'm finished. Terminal on the left is your table, CMD on the right is mine. Uploaded both just so I have someone else to double check my work after I revised it, in case I looked over a mistake.

What now?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
OK that looks perfect!!! It didn't ask for the names of the partitions and I think the names are important but maybe they are not. I think you should try to those instructions for the stock rom I posted...

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Remember, DO NOT USE THE PIT IN YP-G70_UEKI8.MIN, If Odin complains about anything partition or pit related. Find the real pit file and use that!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:
Alright, the stock flashed. Now how do I PROPERLY go about getting getting CWM onto it so I can flash a custom ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Just download Entrophy's Daily Driver (theres one that you can flash with ODIN) HERE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445840

The first attachment is a tar you can flash with odin. Just Download Mode,click pda choose file and click start. Remember, Going from gingerbread to jellybean requires that system, dbdata,cache and data be wiped from recovery before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TacoSeeker:

My device is missing all of these partitions as well. In reading your document, is there a way to get the .rfs files that would create these from Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I'm not sure I understand the question... Can you rephrase it?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] der8:
Well, I'm new at this. But, I was just curious if there was a way to flash a file from Odin3 to create the partitions instead of doing it manually if you literally had NO partitions. When I flash the PIT file, it doesn't take care of this issue. I accidentally ticked the "clear EFS" box in Odin3, so it's completely bare, but I'm basically in the same situation. I just wasn't sure if there was an efs.tar file or something that would take care of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Oh, I got it. Afaik, What odin does, when you put a pit file in, is flash it to the pit partition. If you have repartition checked, it reads the pit file out of the pit partition then uses that info to repartition the block. If you don't have a pit partition then it doesn't do anything. So in your situation the pit file is useless... I could be wrong on this but this is how I think it works.

If I'm correct, there is nothing you can do, using odin, to restore your partitions, in this particular case, and as far as I know, the method illustrated in this thread is the only way to restore partitions when they have been wiped out..:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] der8:
OK, got it. Thanks so much for the detail you have here, I think it is enough for me to dive into it myself then. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Thanks, if you have any problems post in here. (Screenshots help..)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] der8:
So I have an odd problem that my available cylinders is substantially less than what you have shown. I went along the path of doing the same as yours, but bumped into a limit where p17 wasn't possible to create (and p16 is much smaller). Any idea what the best thing to do is? My limit is 242432 where yours was 969528.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] der8:
Actually, I caught the difference -- mine was configured with 4 heads instead of the 1 head in yours. So, I took a deep breath and did the fdisk expert mode to change the number of heads... fdisk -H 1 mmcblk0 .... and then started over creating all the partitions to match yours and flashed the stock recovery images... after doing that, the adb recovery screen prompted me with some errors (/cache could not be found). I formatted the user data and cache options and restarted it. After that, it was as good as new. Phew! A lot of learning, but quite a journey from a black screen brick with no EFS to mount to this!

Thanks again!

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Excellent work!, That is what I was going to suggest that you do! Glad your all up and running and thanks for posting the extra things you had to do;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] vura:
I Start by thanking > Meticulus for showing me the light :good:

Ok so ive got thus far in adb

1.here it shows 4 heads, 16 sectors

2.at this point how do i change the number of heads and also it does not give the logical option :confused:

How do i do This >
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I think to change the number of heads first quit fdisk and get back to the shell prompt then while you are in the directory that has mmcblk0 just type the command "fdisk -H 1 mmcblk0" and that should change the number of heads...

Your situation is also a bit different. You are missing the first partition in addition to all the others. You need to first create the extended partition from my image. So when it asks you choose the option that has "extended" the first time.... and consult my image for the "....p1" values
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] vura:
So am i doing this command "fdisk -H 1 mmcblk0" correctly here ?

​
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Hang on, I must be incorrect about how to change the heads... let me do a little research...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] vura:
ok so after using commad "p" it shows this

does this means that the "fdisk -H 1 mmcblk0" has worked ?
​
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

type m hit enter

type x hit enter

type h hit enter

type 1 hit enter

type w (to save) hit enter

Now exit and make sure that the number of heads has changed by doing fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0...

When that's done we'll go on to creating the first "extended partition"

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

Yes it does!

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Now you should be able to use my image as a guide to create all the necessary partitions. The first partition (ending in p1 ) is the only difference for you and all you need to do is select "extended" for that one..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] vura:
:( unfortunately it doesn't seem to have worked

still shows 4heads, also after hitting "m" i dont get the "x" option too
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I think the problem is that we are not writing out the changes before we exit. So before you type q to exit you must type w to write changes...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] vura:
Still it did not accept the changes sigh:( now i'm really starting to worry

You will need to flash a INT Kernel, if you don't, your bottom buttons will not work. Which one is up to you. You might want to flash an entire stock rom... rj has a gingerbread kernel that the same as entropy's only for the INT. I would suggest trying to find a stock gingerbread INT ROM and flash that. Then upgrade to whatever you want...

Keep in mind that not all roms are created equal: Some only have system image; Some have system image and kernel; Some have everything (kernel system image, bootloaders, lparams etc ).

This is a stock RU froyo rom it has everything: http://www.4shared.com/zip/vxHoJ8E0/G70JKKE3_STOK_222RU_.html
