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 [email protected] #2 build number GINGERBREAD.UEK18
i was gonna use the superoneclick program but it says "file download blocked." 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
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

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...
edit: i tried opening it from my downloads and here's what it brings up. pic below
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

Now that you are rooted it is time for some awesome custom ROMs. There is cm11 you could try by going into the development page and downloading it. But before you flash make sure you have a nandroid back up and you go in this order if you want to run cm11.
Gingerbread, ice cream sandwich, jelly bean, jelly bean 4.3, then cm11. Make sure your recovery is updated when flashing different rims or it might come out as a herring.
Also you could just go straight to KitKat. If you want.

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

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

ok thanks!! I'll start lookin' for the right kernel if you have any recommendations just let me know =D
ok I downloaded a kernel (didn't flash it yet). I downloaded this kernel > http://forum.xda-developers.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

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.

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??

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.

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

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.

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

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.

i flashed rooted my phone come to find out the root was bad it turned my wifi off after everytime i turn it on well i reflashed it useing the stock with root and it still willl not boot into the recovery it just goes into the android e3 recovery any help would be awesome
What did you use to root your phone?
ODIN?
Have you ever used the program ODIN? If you already have the driver installed into your computer ODIN should be able to bring it back. Install Odin and find the your Operating system files for your phone. Im sure theres a video or forum for it. Google it.

Of course you don't have CWM Recovery; you flashed a stock kernel. Having root and having CWM are not the same thing.
Relax, you didn't do anything wrong; you're just not finished yet. What you need to do now is download Mobile Odin from the market, and use it to flash either Entropy's Daily Driver or Siyah. Either one includes CWM Recovery.

Be careful...ShoStock 1.x is Gingerbread(Android 2.3), but ShoStock 2.x is Ice Cream Sandwich(Android 4.0). Choose which one you want based on that.
Also, when posting on a forum like this, please use proper grammar. If you expect people to help you, you have to do what you can to help them understand what you're saying.

Add long as your phone is an i777, you follow the instructions on the OP, and you re-wipe and flash before asking about something messing up... Yes.
I would also recommend flashing aokp 7.3 ICS, then flashing the JB ROM. It seems to be helpful.

If you start off using any custom ROM, especially the AOKP, I do suggest you spend time read more, follow that thread (the link you provided), the more you read the more you save time and avoid headache down the road. One example that Phalanx just pointed out, it isn't listed anywhere but from reading and following that thread.
1. Make sure your device is i777, if anything other than that, stop.
2. Make sure you have the CwM Recovery installed. Do get along with the buttons such what home button does, what power button does. It depends on the CwMR version.
3. Follow the instruction of the ROM for installation.
4. Good luck and enjoy.

Luckily you don't have CWM installed yet using Rom Manager what you have is Rom Manager....
1. Uninstall Rom Manager ASOP
2. You need to flash a custom kernel to get CWM you can do that be installing Mobile Odin lite free from XDA and flashing a kernel...
3. You need to read LOTS more or you risk BRICKING your phone......
4. It will depend what ROM your on now what kernel you need to flash to get CWM Gingerbread = GB kernel ICS = ICS kernel PLEASE read before doing ANYTHING............

I will help you get this working, I have some questions tho to get you the right info when you see this respond back just don't do anything till
I help you.... I would rather help you then have you brick your phone but of course do whatever you want.... You can DL and install these 2 files just like any other apk install MobileODINLite first then FlashKernel I777 of course you will need to be rooted, this wont change anything on your phone it will just install the app to get you ready to flash the zImage... The next step is KEY as to what you're running now.... That's where I have questions...

EDIT I will be around here for about 3 hours it's 6:40am now on the west coast after that it will be like 10 hours...
got it. why does odin need my location?
also, it says that odin required an add-on to be able to flash firmwares on the device (i think i just figured it out... was that the second thing i installed?).
thanks for your help! i appreciate it.

I'm not sure why the location permission BUT it is built by 1 of the best devs on here ChainFire nothing to worrie about....
the second file was the add-on, when you load mobile odin is it saying you need to install the add-on? Now you need to flash the zImage to get CWM if you haven't already....What firmware are you on now? I feel dumb telling to flash the 2nd file you only need the Odin lite to flash the zImage (kernel) to get CWM once you flash a new ROM in CWM you will lose all the data anyways... Now that you have um back them up and save them so when you flash a new ROM you can reinstall both of them!! Always good to have IMO...

I have installed both apks. zimage has to do with the bootup, right? where do i get that file? would the firmware be i777ucle5?
@sniper8752,
You seem to be flailing around in the dark. You really need to not only read, but also see how things fit together. Just a friendly warning, if you don't know what a zImage is, or why you are flashing it, or which zImage to use, you still need to do some more reading and get a better overall picture before you continue with flashing JellyBean.
The zImage is the kernel. (Don't forget to capitalize the I as linux is case sensitive.) I am assuming you are rooted but do not have ClockworkMod Recovery installed yet. You need to install a custom kernel that matches your system. That means flash a Gingerbread kernel if you currently have a Gingerbread system, or an ICS kernel if you currently have an ICS system. The various options for the kernels are available in the development section. To use a zImage with mobile odin, you must extract the zImage from the .zip file (or sometimes .tar) that the developer makes available. Mobile odin can actually pull the kernel from a tar file, but it will not recognize a zip file.

I have decided on flashing this rom: http://ultimatum.us/. looks like it will take about an hour to download... i currently have ics installed. to flash the zImage, do I click on "Kernel" in the app.?
thanks for help and explaining the zImage. what would be the best way to learn all of this? is there a good site so I don't have to go looking around everywhere? maybe like a beginner's guide?

What app? There is no app...
ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) yes, app NO.
EDIT: Just realized you may be talking about mobile Odin our three cwm app. Don't use either at this print, much easier using CWM (reboot into recovery of you've got a custom ROM/kernel)

so i should use cwm instead of odin? i thought people were telling me not to use cwm?
Hey guys.
I've searched the forums for this issue, unfortunately it seems like mine is a little unique and I can't find a solution to my problem anywhere.
I'm stuck in CWM Recovery mode, and although I can navigate the menu... when pressing the Home key to select the various options, nothing happens besides the options blinking for a sec. I can access Odin Mode with Power/Volume +/- but that's it. Also it's worth noting that I'm unable to access my phone's files from my computer when in download mode (my guess is because the phone isn't set to USB storage mode which I have to do from the booted home screen, which... I can't access).
This happened after the first time entering Recovery mode on CWM, and although I have ROM Manager installed on my phone, after researching a little I found that was NOT what I wanted to use. And I did NOT use that program.. my CWM was flashed in from a .tar on Odin (the windows program). I also have a Jellybam folder placed in the phone, which was my next step.
How can I get out of CWM Recovery so that I can continue flashing the Jellybam ROM?
I apologize if I've missed anything. Please let me know if you need any other information. I'll be sure to hit the thank you button on every reply.
THANK YOU!
:crying:
um....
you are supposed to flash the ROM from CWM, so why would you want to get out of CWM to get back into CWM?
you havent mentioned what version of Android you were already running or what kernel you flashed, but have you tried using the POWER button to select things in CWM? Are you sure you used the right kernel? Are you sure you have an i777?
Hey Pirateghost, thanks for the reply! And yes, I was going into CWM Recovery to flash the ROM. The reason I wanted out of CWM was because it had no functionality... yes, I did try using the power button to select things. Seems the home button was it? In any case nothing worked. My version of Android was Gingerbread UCKH7, and I'm %100 sure it's an i777. By using the "right kernel" you mean the right version of Jellybam?
UPDATE: I got out of the bootloop by using a stock root UCKH7 kernel, bringing it in from Odin. Now I'm just trying to understand what went wrong and how I can continue to flash my Jellybam ROM in without any issues. I also found that my CWM app disappeared after I uninstalled ROM Manager after getting access back to my phone.
More info...
the kernel I installed for CWM was KH4 at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
After putting the KH7 stock root kernel in via Odin and getting out of the bootloop, I deleted ROM Manager off my phone and reflashed the KH4 kernel so I could get CWM. That worked fine, but now Superuser is crashing.

The kernel you just linked above is for the GT-I9100, not the SGH-I777. You seem to be moving forward without providing yourself with enough knowledge. If you are sure the phone is an I777 then stay away from the I9100 forums. Get what you need from here. There is lots of information in the guides linked in my signature. There is enough information there to guide you through everything you want to do.

You are flashing an older kernel on a newer ROM??? why? if you want to have CMW recovery you should flash your stock rom and then get the CWM .tar file and flash it in Odin. If you happen to get a .zip CWM file you can rename it to update.zip and flash it using your stock ROM's recovery options.
Search something along these lines: CWM5.8.1.8-i777.zip or recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxys2att.tar as examples

It's great having new folks around helping out.
This is bad information, however. 3e recovery will enforce signature verification on any update.zip, and it will fail.

always a pleasure to lend a hand. you're right it used to work on 2e I think, I was trying to signify the difference between the zip and tar, but thank you so much for the correction.
So should I be using a different kernel? I'm sorry I'm not quite sure what you're saying Commodore64, my head has been spinning from all this.

you should be using a kernel intended for your phone....your phone (if branded AT&T) is either an i727 skyrocket or i777. this is the i777 forum section. you appear to have flashed a kernel for an i9100...
just follow creepy's guides and do it the right way. there is nothing you can flash in STOCK recovery that will give you CWM or a new kernel (which on this phone CWM is packed with the kernel)

There is not just one answer, you can go back to one of the stock ROMs, like the ones provided by creepyncrawly threads.
There are a lot of threads on this and I don't have my I777 anymore but I used to do this:
1- Once you flashed a stock rom, go into recovery and cleanup. data/cache reset.
2- Have the files you want to flash on your phone. (if you format the SD card you will erase your files including the ones you want to flash!)
3- Use your .tar Odin CWM that worked for you before now to flash CWM.
4- Once in the CWM flash a newer CWM version (CWM6.0.1.0-i777.zip) since your ROM is based on CM/AOKP
5- After flash Go to Advanced and reboot recovery (this will reboot your phone now with the newer version of CWM)
6- Once in the newer CWM clean up again.
7- Don't reboot, have the correct version (latest or whatever) of your Custom ROM and install it now.
This is the general idea, if you don't know what you're doing read the threads in the development section, everything you need is there.
Educate yourself before you make your phone a crippled rabbit and scream for help.

this makes no sense, dude.
1. if he is on a stock rom, there is nothing CM/AOKP on his phone
2. on this device the recovery is packed with the kernel, flashing some other CWM doesnt really matter at all. none of this is necessary.
you can flash any kernel you want (made for this device) if you dont plan on booting the OS and only plan on flashing a rom...
you have now complicated an already easy method.
Hey everyone - just wanted to let you guys know that I am now running JellyBAM and so far everything seems fine.
Thank you all for your help, seriously. If anyone has any questions about what I did etc., just ask and I'll get back to ya.
Thanks! :good:
Glad to hear you got JellyBAM up and running xargis, and just to reiterate what pirateghost was saying, you won't get CWM by flashing a CWM.tar file lol, I don't even think one can be found for this model (SGH-i777) which is the device that I currently have, the ONLY way to get CWM onto this device is to flash the proper kernel for this device, but keep in mind that there is another factor to think about as well, depending on what type of custom rom you want to run there are different kernels out there that work best and offer different/better features for deployment into the custom rom for which you will be running, in other words some roms are kernel specific, you can only use certain kernels with CM10/AOKP/ParanoidAndroid based roms, and such is the same with only using certain kernels with Sammy based stock roms, so the choice is yours, hope this info was informative to you and that you definately find a good productive rom that you will be happy to play with and run, have fun with your i777 s2, that's one of the things this forum is all about!!

Like JellyYogurt said we need more detail your post is confusing this is probably a easy fix and you need to read up more on how to flash roms.First of all there is nothing wrong with slimrom I have flashed it many times without any problems..."unzip files" why would you want to unzip files to flash a rom?
Rom's come in a couple of formats zip files which you flash with a custom recovery ( you do not unzip them) or .tar files which you flash with odin (these are normally stock roms).
Can you get into recovery? (If yes perform a factory reset and reboot ) see if that works,if not you mention you have a backup can't you put your backup on ext SD card with a card reader and restore from recovery or do you mean you delated it ?
If you just want to go back to stock touchwiz and not bother with custom roms again just download your phone version from sammobile and flash with odin.Also another misconception is that you said you rooted then tried to flash a rom why? You only need to root your phone if you are going to stay on stock rom and use root apps and not flash custom roms. The reason is 99% of custom roms come already rooted so you can skip rooting your phone yourself.

I flashed the rom using the instructions on slimroms.net. but i think i didnt 'wipe data and cache'. the unzip thing is an example of how unstable it is. I can go recovery. But my comp is broke so i didnt get ro go to sammobile for the files. I created alot of backups with titanium but it seems they are all deleted (didnt move to another device, live and learn). Thanks for the speedy assistance. Ill try odin and sammobile tonight after work. Just figured out how to go back into recovery mode after i made this post.
You have to do a wipe data and format system as they said. Guess u didnt do both?

Ok... Let us know how you get on.
Also titanium only backups up system and user apps it is not a complete backup of your system for that you needed to do a nandroid backup with your recovery (if you don't know what that is there are some stickies threads explaining what it is) Good luck.

Okay. Got it. First I had to go to my slimkat settings and check root access etc, thats why nothing worked. then I kept trying to unzip the gapps folder, not knowing it had to be flashed also(stopped reading right before that in the instructions, oops). After i flashed the gapps i could get into playstore np and its running smooth. First rooting attempt alittle panicky but my s3 now has 11.01gbs of storage and all the apps i really need. Thank you both for the quick reply. Sorrying for noobing out back there. Im starting to understand alittle more. Im going to read on back-up/recovery and hopefully be rooting this Gflex on Tuesday.

Yea, you can flash .zip versions of cwm through the recovery menu. You could also flash it through Odin if you can't find a flashable .zip of it, probably easier that way. Don't just flash any .zip of cwm you find through twrp, it has to be one made to be flashed.

You know that the file that you have to put in odin has to be a ridiculous amount of mb or gb then other things because i made that mistake 2 lol.
You have to extract it when using your pc and stuff and sometimes you get others files like ones that arent even like 100 mb or whatever that can look like a rom.
Give me a full list of evrything you exactly do when flashing and wich file and name and how big the file is and also your model number... The s3 ATT right?
Can someone verify for me that att has an own bootloader and stuff and you can only like odin flash their stock roms right?
You can always use phillz touch recovery and download a custom rom like cyanogenmod for your phone! Then you can acces it... If you dont brick your phone.

Huh? What exactly did you do? If you flashed Philz correctly using TWRP then you should have his recovery on your phone.
I think he needs to report his post to get it moved to his section with people to help him with his exact model and the correct stickies to help him.
If he can't then someone may need to report it for him.
Either way here is some reading material I found after a quick search in your forum.

So you got Philz touch running? If so, then you should be able to flash hellfire with it (assuming that you definitely have the right rom for your phone model).

Try redownloading the rom maybe an bad download.
When it doesnt work then your phone just cant take it and try something else man.
And also ask the developer from the hellfire rom if your phone is compatible with the rom (sometimes you need to download some sort of kernel or whatever it needs)

Is this the first ROM you've tried to flash? What were you running before trying to flash hellfire?
To fix your situation should be fairly simple. 1.download a different ROM to an external SD card, I recommend slimkat because its pretty stable. They use a unified d2lte build for all d2 devices. Before you install the zip, wipe data/factory reset, manually format system, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, install the ROM zip and gapps zip if required then reboot and profit.
