Into the same folder where your adb.exe and fastboot.exe are.

To get adb/fastboot try this great little tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Make sure USB debugging is enabled in Developer Options.

Then open Device Manager on your PC, connect your phone booted to Android via USB cable and note any changes. You should see an entry for adb interface. If it doesn't have a yellow exclamation mark next to it, you probably have the correct driver installed. If it does, right click the entry and update the driver.

Check the connection with the command:

adb devices

from a command prompt opened from the adb folder.

If it returns a string of letters and numbers: Congrats, your adb is working.

Next boot the phone to hboot.

Connect it via USB and you should see a new entry for the fastboot interface.

Proceed as above.

To test the connection issue

fastboot devices

If you get the connection, the command to flash TWRP is

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
I'm on a Verizon S5, stock rooted with Xposed. I've been searching for a way to increase vibration intensity but to no avail. I tried a third party app such as vibe, but even with volume lock enabled via Xposed mod it still won't stay in vibrate. So there is a vibration pattern I have located on my phone that launches through Vibe that is loud enough to hear, but I cannot find it. Moreover, in Es File Explorer, I have been trying to find where my vibration patterns are located. I am hoping I am able to add a vibration pattern in there somehow so that I may set is as my vibration tone. I have been searching for quite a while now, and I am at a loss. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

EDIT: I got it rooted now but i would like some help flashing a custom ROM onto it. like what i need to know about it and stuff and which ROMs work for galaxy player 5.0. I was looking at cyanogenmod 11 but and the beanstalk one, but the rear camera doesn't work right i heard. I would kindof like a kitkat rom but if i have to use jellybean then i guess i do. i would like to know which rom is recommended

hey you all i need a little help rooting my galaxy player 5.0. model YP-G70 firmware 2.3.5 kernel version 2.6.35.7-G70UEK18-CL566269se.infra@SEP-49 #2 build number GINGERBREAD.UEK18

i was gonna use the superoneclick program but it says "file download blocked." :confused: isn't shortfuse.org the site to get it from? or where do i get the program?

I had already installed Samsung Kies, but now i need the superoneclick program. I was trying to get version 2.3.3. so what i'm wondering is where and how do you get superoneclick???

I've done a lot of researching which way is the best to root it, and i think superoneclick looks best. please tell me different if i'm wrong ... so yeah... thanks in advance :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
Your right to try and use superoneclick as a rooting program. Try downloading the most updated version and scan on Norton for viruses. Then open the program, make sure you have USB debugging on and hit root. After that hit yes when you get prompted to test and unplug your device and reboot.

http://m.download.cnet.com/SuperOneClick/3000-2094_4-75447027.html

Here's a link to CNET to download. If diwnlias did not work try looking for it on xda
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
thanks for answering!! i clicked on the link and hit download and it downloaded but it said that chrome blocked, cause it's malicious. (pic below) it shows up under my downloads though. i scanned it with vipre (i use that instead of norton) and it said it was trojan. should i just try to run it anyway or what...:p

edit: i tried opening it from my downloads and here's what it brings up. pic below
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AndyYan:
Antivirus saying the package is malicious is perfectly normal. The 2 root exploits used in SuperOneClick are already identified as Android-based trojans in all modern antivirus softwares. If you downloaded from a trusted site, DISABLE your antivirus software and start the rooting process. When you're done, don't forget to turn it back on.

wow you're right!! I got it rooted!! so i think... i have the app superuser soo yeah... now i wanna flash a custom rom which i have to research or if you all would be kind enough to help me with. i didn't do any research on that yet so i really know nothing. just that i'm missing out on some good stuff i think :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
no i don't have a custom recovery or a nandroid backup. not sure how to make them either, but i'll do some checkin' around. also idk which rom to choose. I'm kinda hoping to get 4.4 kitkat if i can, but i'm only on 2.3.5 now soo... i hope i can. i was thinkin' about cygenmod but i've heard that the camera doesn't always work then. and i'm not exactly sure how to get it. If you wanna help me out I'd really appreciate it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
The camera works
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
I was reading some tutorials for installing CWM recovery. a lot of them say that you would have to flash a kernel with it built into it. and another one says to use rom manager app which I have but the app doesn't support a galaxy player 5.0. so i wanna install it but I don't know how. like there are so many tutorials. flashing a kernel is risky I heard. not sure how i should start
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AndyYan:
Go for the kernel route. Find a CWM'd kernel that supports your current version of stock ROM and flash that. ROM Manager performs badly even on supported devices so don't even think about it.

And... The risk of flashing a kernel/ROM is something you eventually have to get over if you want your device better ;)

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
ok thanks!! I'll start lookin' for the right kernel ;) if you have any recommendations just let me know =D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
ok I downloaded a kernel (didn't flash it yet). I downloaded this kernel > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2318550 and i'm gonna download odin to flash it with but i don't think it's a .tar file so will odin work???? also i guess i'll just download the latest version of odin...?? it said that some versions aren't compatible with some devices.

EDIT it's a .zip file. i think you need cwm to flash it. please tell me if i'm wrong. but i don't have cwm. so i think i might have to choose another kernel ??

also will flashing that kernel erase my third-party apps or app data??

and when i get this kernel on, will I be able to run cm11 on here or will i have to get a different kernel to run on that??

also i think this vid might be a good one. but he never says that he does a nandroid backup or anything

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlyTZZVOvag
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AndyYan:
Yeah this kernel is CWM only, so no go. As far as Odin compatibility goes, no, the latest version won't always work with anything. Use Odin 1.8x if you can (mine is 1.85 for my Player 4.0 and Captivate, should be the same for Galaxy S-family devices).

Kernels don't wipe any of your data, though flashing a wrong kernel which causes bootloop may do.

After flashing the corresponding kernel, get into CWM recovery and start flashing CM or the ROM you want as per the instructions given in the ROM's post. All AOSP-based ROMs run different (and incompatible) kernels than stock so don't worry about kernels once you're in.

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
so what kernel should i get? it has to be a Gingerbread one right? since i'm still on stock gingerbread rom. should I use Entropy's Daily Driver? that would be the only other one, right?

and once i get a jellybean or a kk rom wouldn't it be a good idea to get a better kernel?? like one made for a kk or jb? would it be faster? but then i would have to switch kernels if i would for any reason want to go back to stock gb rom??
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AndyYan:
I have a Player 4.0 instead of a 5.0 so unfortunately can't help you with finding the right kernel. Yes it's best for stock Gingerbread, but if you find Froyo ones, they can also be used. Do note that you can't boot into Gingerbread with a Froyo kernel, so use its CWM to flash whatever you want immediately afterwards.

I don't know of any JB/KK custom kernels, and since Player's single core CPU has its limitations, a custom kernel won't make it much better. At least on my IncS, even overclocking to 1.6GHz won't help with KK eating up my resources.

GB, JB, KK - kernels for different versions of Android are usually not cross-compatible, so you *must* switch kernel if you want to fall back to GB.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
thank you very much for your help. i was able to flash a custom kernel and get cwm. thanks you helped a lot

now i got the rom i was gonna flash downloaded it and extracted it. and i shouldn't have extracted it. then i was trying to flash it and i discovered i messed up. so i pulled the sd card out (which i had a complete nandroid backup on.) [the real mistake] and decided to start over. like, put the zipped files on the sd card. so i put the zips (unextracted) onto my micro sd but it can't mount the sd. so i think i'm like screwed. please help me

oh and when i boot all i see is the samsung logo, then it goes straight to cwm recorvery. I can also get into download mode. so I can get into cwm but my recovery is on my micro sd and it can't mount it. (i did a nandroid backup but it doesn't benefit me now. i also have to backup on my pc, but my pc doesn't wanna recognize it) did i brick it??

what i did...went into cwm wipe data/factory reset and wiped it. next > mounts and storage and clicked format system, and formatted it. then last i wiped dalvik cache. then i went to flash the rom (CM9) and it didn't flash. (because i had extracted it on the pc. it no longer was a .zip) don't know what i was thinkin' but yeah...

as of now i'm gonna start looking for threads to fix it.

i don't think samsung kies is working right either. :/ http://i.imgur.com/WV0iBPk.jpg

please help me unbrick it or whatever i need to do. only made one small mistake and now all this... :'( if you know anything about how to fix it pls reply. i need all the help i can get. thanks ...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AndyYan:
Easy, bro. Does your current CWM recovery have a "sideload" option? Look for that either in the main menu or in the "install zip from sdcard" section. If you have that, then you could try sideloading a ROM directly from your PC to your device and it will flash automatically. For more instructions, just Google "ADB sideload".

If that doesn't cut it... Grab Odin and a stock GB firmware (these should be floating around in Dev section), flash that by Odin, and your Player gets returned to GB stock condition, where you can start over.

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
no it doesn't have a sideload option anywhere. i have odin. and for the firmware, doesn't it have to be in the .tar form for odin to flash it?? i'll check that out. btw thanks !!

but the computer doesn't wanna recognize my device. so how can i flash anything??

EDIT do you think i could flash my nandroid backup through odin?? it has .tar files and one .md5 file, but 2 that aren't. i'll post a screen shot. but if i flash each of the .tar files and the .md5 file via odin do you think it would work? that file is only a .md5 though and not a .tar.md5 so idk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AndyYan:
No, nandroid backups won't be recognized by Odin. Just try finding a stock firmware out there. If you want your data back from your nandroid backup, you can always restore everything to normal first, then restore that nandroid and do whatever you please.

ok I just downloaded the stock rom from here > http://www.mediafire.com/?146i39wbj6ewz7e it came as a .rar file

EDIT I extracted it with 7zip. then it gave me a .pit file and a .tar.md5. should i just flash the md5 file? or what should i do with that pit file then??
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
Not sure
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
do not use that pit file!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
ok then i guess i'll just flash the other file via odin... ? yeah ok i'll give it a shot

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
now i can't get into download mode or recovery. which also means i can't turn it off!! the battery is gonna die like this!! the pic below is all it shows on my screen. the device is getting kinda warm too. idk what i should be doing:(

do you think i hard bricked it???

EDIT I reflashed entropy's daily driver kernel and it worked but now odin and windows doesn't recognize my device again. and now i'm able to get into download mode and recovery again so i was able to power it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
update: I downloaded a .pit file from here>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389873

so now i'm gonna try to flash that pit file and the tar.md5 file via odin. if it's not the right thing to do pls say. I am an android noob yet. (as i'm sure you know :P)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Flash this without the pit: http://www.4shared.com/zip/hFJmoXTiba/YP-G70-UEKI8-Stock-USA-Meticul.html

I made and tested this yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
thank you much!! I'll try it out :D

UPDATE: tried it out. um i'll post a screen shot. it says setup connection and then never finished. the progress bar never showed anything either. so i unplugged it and rebooted and it is the same as before.

update 2: I tried it again. and got an odin fail message. so i unplugged it and rebooted and got a black screen of death with the "pic ofphone ! pic of computer". (soft brick) so i tried flashing my custom kernel with odin without going into download mode (cause i couldn't) and it failed. so i tried it again and then it passed it. and now i have access to cwm and download mode again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Try using Odin from here : http://www.meticulus.co.vu/p/downloads_2.html?m=1

EDIT: If that does not work then try flashing my stock with the pit you mentioned and the odin from my page....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
ok thanks i'll give it a try!! thanks for all your help man :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
If that doesn't work then you need to try a different USB cable and a different computer etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hatgirl223:
Thanks for the file. I was in the same boat and used the Odin from your site and the tar file you posted and i now have my player back. I thought i would have to trash it. I am glad i kept searching the net!!!! You are awesome!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
ok today I was able to unbrick it!! I bought a new usb cable before i tried anything. I downloaded your odin and your rom that you gave and flashed it . It worked :D thanks sooo much for all you guys did in helping me learn!! :D you are AMAZING!!

I think i'm still gonna try and flash a new rom then again. :P cause i can see where i screwed up. my sis says i'm too hard up for the new rom. but yeah imma give it another go anyway :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Glad to hear it, If you flash one of my ROMs, I have instructions on my blog. Make sure to follow them ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Austin68:
yepers not sure which one I will use yet. either yours or cm11 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fangblade386:
I don't think you should use CM11 permanently if you're getting it on a Galaxy Player 5.0. Its good for temporarily getting accustomed to custom ROMS, but I would EXTREMELY suggest that you get Carbon ROM 4.4.4. Its indescribably amazing on a Galaxy Player 5.0. Its good for pretty much all your needs, and I would recommend it above CM11, although my opinion is a bit biased. I have never actually used CM, but I do know that there is a rear camera bug in it. Carbon doesn't have any major bugs in it like that, and that's why I recommend it. 256 thumbs ups to Meticulus!

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
It depends, If you're on stock, then you need to flash a custom kernel for gingerbread first, either Entropy512's (USA) or R.J.'s(INT). Then flash a 4.3.1 ROM such as my SlimBean 4.3. Then flash KK ROMS.

If you're on anything below 4.3.1 then start with flashing 4.3.1 and continue.

If you're already on KK just flash away

Hello folks, first time on these forums.

The glass on my nexus 5 has cracked, but is completely functional. No screen distortion or damage to lower screen components. I have searched for this issue but could only find videos on how to replace the whole screen assembly. I found a replacement screen on eBay for 8.00 which is JUST the glass.

I am wondering if it is possible to replace just the glass plate and not the LCD or digitizer?

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvillafana:
I'll be the first to chime in here. The main reason you don't want to replace just the glass I would say is the amount of time and effort you have to put into it to remove it since it is glued directly to the LCD and there is a chance if ruining the LCD I would just replace the whole thing it is faster and much easier I get my parts from etradesupply.com

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Darkshado:
Hello,

As per the thread title, I would appreciate someone sending me a copy of an IMEI-removed NV items backup from a Note 2 N7105. (Ideally both .qcn and text formats.)

Long story short I'm spending a month somewhere where LTE is on bands 3, 7 and 20 instead of my usual 4, 7 and 17. So, maybe (just a teeny tiny maybe, mind you) there's the possibility that feeding my franken-Note 2 (see the T889V LTE guide) some N7105 NV items would make it work on LTE here instead of just DC-HSPA. I'm thinking along the lines of the AWS mod.

And, along this strenuous path of uncertainties, I just might have the time to give this a shot. Of course, I do have an acceptable backup device on hand or I wouldn't be trying this.

Posting the files here could also help others who have had issues that can be solved by flashing NV items again.

(If you have the files but are unsure how to anonymize them, you could always send them privately if you don't mind me seeing your IMEI.)

Please specify the modem in use at the time the backup was taken, just in case.

Thanks in advance,

Darkshado
