Hi so I am a complete newbie I just joined today.

I am trying to get Cyanogenmod 11 for my Galaxy Player 4.0. I have never rooted or done any of this stuff.

I would like a step by step guide on how to flash, sorry if I am asking for too much I don't want to brick my player.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537248

I downloaded the ZIP file but I don't know how to use it, I'm sorry I am a total newbie.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computernewbie:
Can I just flash what I downloaded with Odin? Someone please help I am clueless right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
First you have to install terrasilent as you need CWM in order to flash CM for it. Here's it's link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1643384

If you need a guide on how to flash, you can follow up this thread.

After you had succesfully flashed terrasilent, you need to put the zip file you downloaded into your device.

Then you need to turn off your device and pressing Power, Vol+ and Home. You will then go into CWM. When you're in CWM, you can follow up the actual CM11 instructions and you'll get safely in CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computernewbie:
Thank you so much for replying! I have a question, you wrote in your guide that I should make backups? And my efs should be intact? Please explain sorry.

SO EXCITED THOUGH
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computernewbie:
Sorry for the double post! But I have TerraSilent! This is all so new and exciting to me! :fingers-crossed:

Was I just suppose to flash 1.3.5 or all of them? Sorry for being a noob..

I don't really have any important files, except pictures, and silly games, but what should I backup? And I how do I make the efs intact.

thnakyou thank you thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
All your files except your games should be intact. If you want to backup them, use titanium backup to do so.

As for efs, it is something really important and you need to backup it. To do so, when you have terrasilent, (1.3.5) you need to do the command found on the cm11 thread while in superuser mode and using adb.

Here's the FAQ if you have some more questions related to root:

woah sorry quick question what is ADB?

I'm NOT rooted, SO SORRY, my player is clean, the only thing it has on it is TerraSilent.

Could you also give a quick tutorial on rooting

How and where would I enter this command?

dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computernewbie:
Would any of these work for a quick root?

I roooted it soooooooo happppy! I'm sorry for the bother, but you have been a great help!

Just gotta do the ADP, and back up the efs and then is CYANOGENMOD 11!!! AHHHHH So excited and nervous
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hmm I think it'll be too long to download + set up ADB for the moment so I have another alternative.

First download this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=fr

After having downloaded it, go into the app. Type su and grant the super user permissions requested.

Then do the command to back your efs which is:

dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs

It should backup your efs and you're good to go for CM11.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computernewbie:
One last final question please, my device is rooted, it is on usb debugging mode, I have ADB installed, where do I plug in the code

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computernewbie:
It says 'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
You need to do an adb shell. Can you just confirm if your device is detected by doing "adb devices"

If it's recognized then you can do

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hmmm looks good but just for checking, if you check the efs.rfs, you should have a 6-7 MB file. If so, you can continue.

How do I check the efs,rfs? Is it a folder on the sd card, I don't see it :(

It does say 6553600 bytes at the end, which is right hopefully, but I dont see it any folders

Gapps was aborted and I don't know why.

And it keeps cycling back into the Clockworkmod Im scared please help
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
If you waited that much time, you can force reboot, it'll work no problem, don't worry, ;)

SO sorry eveyrthing is working great, the cyanogen guy is spinning in a circle and I am filled with joy!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
First you need to install the gapps after installing CM. When that is done, you need to wipe your data (wipe data/factory reset) then you should be good.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
It is supposed to not be removed. It depends also if you've taken another camera app to take those pictures.

Have you used an app like camera zoom fx?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computernewbie:
They were silly pictures anyways. Thank you AGAIN! This has changed everything!

I honestly thought I couldn't do and I would have to buy a newer and fancier device. (I'm poor and in college)

It is sooooo much faster, and it feels like a whole new device.

Great learning experience, I am definitely more familiar with ADB, rooting, flashing and all that good stuff.

Once again thank you!

[Q] followed instructions in this thread ... android keyboard error

I followed all of these instructions for Galaxy Player 4.0 running Android 2.3.5 (rooting, flashing TerraSilent, installing Android command prompt app, backup EFS, installing CM11 from zip). Everything seemed to be working fine after a couple of boots. Unfortunately, I have not documented exactly each step carefully.

I have searched forums to learn why to backup EFS...but I do not think I can do it again if my android keyboard is not working.

Is it safe to flash another mod ROM (like CM 10.2 which is supposed to be more stable for this device) or revert to stock ROM now, without again making a backup of my EFS?

I will be searching info on how to fix the keyboard issue before doing any more flashing, while awaiting reply.

DC
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Duke_Cardlert:
response to my own [Q]

I had downloaded an incorrect/incompatible version of google apps from another help thread.

I just got the device access to my home WiFi and I'm about to enable and sync my google apps. Previously (previous gapps download), the keyboard worked when I accessed WiFi but failed sometime later.

If I have any issues, I'll post an update. Hopefully, the google apps link appears in the other how-to threads, but I'll need to search because I forgot to bookmark.

The picture attached is made ​​by me, but I think it looks like the original Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo.

Edit 1: Installed "boot-logo-GT-N8000.zip" and went OK. But if I modify the "logo.jpg" inside with my own one, the device gets stuck on black (logo?) screen, and can't get into recovery.

Edit 2: Reason: bad zip structure :D

Now is working good!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] tanker32:
Easiest way to replace your picture in this MOD

Good work:laugh:

And now you can put inside MOD some great picture from internet or your own gallery when you was on holiday and change the sign Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for new one. For example: "This device will never stuck...no more than twice a hour!" :laugh:

The best and easiest way to change the picture is open this ZIP file in Total Commander, where on the left side you will see content of MOD and on the right side you will have prepare logo.jpg (1280x800). Then just copy your picture from right side to the left side, Total Commander will ask you "this file already exist, overwright?" and you click YES and we will continue. After then, when you want to close open ZIP file, Total Commander will ask you again "content of ZIP file has been changed, refresh this ZIP?" and you again click YES and that's all. Now you have new ZIP with new logo.jpg inside without unpacking ZIP. Sorry for this step by step method like for newbie, but when I made this MOD, then I never unpacked this ZIP again. And this method I always use for all packed files. No need external unpacker:victory:

Have a great modding, Peter

Good work guys!

Great one! I think that's problem with partition and after bad flashing, so I put this MOD here, because of this reason.Some pals send me e-mail

where they thanks me, because they bricked phones and after using this MOD, everything is back to normal. So that's way... Bu I can put this

MOD into THEME thread too. I put this MOD onto General thread, but it's over my time put it for every compactible device here... But, as I say, mostly problems was after rewriting NAND partition in PARAM block and get bad graphic issue.

In short story, someone need stock ROM, and by mistake tick on NAND erase all in ODIN, and bad luck is here. No screen, no access to partitions...But now... :good:

Sure, I don't have original logo, so I made the second one like a template :highfive: And the first one is because after POWER ON you can immediately see if you got no problem with colors.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] tanker32:
ZIP has been never modified!

Well, I don't get it! :confused:

What modified ZIP you mean? There are only TWO zips, one with color logo and second with black&white logo and they are without any change from begin my THREAD (see timestamp). I downloaded them again and install them in recovery (just for sure). If you proceeded as I wrote in my MOD thread, so everything must be O.K. If somebody had problems with MOD, it was not by my mistake.

Again:

1.) Make a backup your device via recovery

2.) Picture must be 1280x800 or 800x1280

3.) After instal MOD ZIP never reboot to system but to recovery again!

If you held my steps, everything must be O.K.

As you see, some pals have problem too, but after they made mistake with their own pictures or zip structure, see posts above or other thread.

As I wrote before I don't take any responsibility if you make some mistake when you make some changes in my MOD.

So I hope that we'll find some solution for your problem. My advice is: If you are in download mode try my advice here: (guy who had same problem as you have and it's resolved) [Q] N8000 Boot (not OS boot animation) cleared

Wish you luck, Peter:good:

Problem with KitKat Android is because KitKat has a different memory block programming!

And if you see in my first post, you can see where the bootlogo lies.

And next story is, I don't have Samsung tablet anymore because I want to buy Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ver.2014.
