Can't seem to find a link to download the stock rom for the US 5.0 Galaxy Player. I flashed a new rom thinking I did a CWM backup, but apparently I only thought I did.
I've searched around and can't seem to find an ODIN tar or a ZIP that I can flash for the US version other than a file hosted on Multiupload which no longer works. I didn't post in general being that this seems more Development related.
If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.
....................
EDIT: It was a pain to find, but I found the multiupload link, googled it, found the cached page, found the name of the file, googled the name of the file and downloaded from fileserve. I then uploaded to my server. You can download it from there if anyone needs it.

Found it. Posted mirror in first post.
Thank you for finding it. I would like to ask you if you have tried it already.
I don't flash custom ROMs because
until now, I didn't have a stock recovery ROM to restore in case something goes wrong or I didn't like the new ROM. And I don't think Best Buy would want to replace a device with a cracked screen if custom software is installed.
Please, let me know.
Thank you in advance.

I have tried it. I just flashed back to stock. I had to Wipe data via CWM before flashing back. On the first boot it took me to Stock recovery where I wiped data and wiped the cache. It's now working perfect.
As far as I know there seems to only be one custom rom for the US 5.0. Various kernels to try though.
So, in case I just want to restore to stock with the file you made available, I need to have a custom kernel so I can use CWM?, or I can do it from the stock recovery window?.
And the only two options to flash a kernel and a ROM I see for the SGP 5.0 are "Entropy's Daily Driver" and "Eryigit-GB-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA ROM", have you found other options?
Thank you.

Normally you only need to flash the pda, but if you want to re-partition your device then use the pit file as well.

When you turn it off just hold the volume down button before turning it on and you should get there in a couple of seconds.
after flashing i got bootloops, but i did factory reset and wipe partion cache , and it worked well
wow this rom is pre rooted
can some1 tell me the step by step procedure?

Welcome to the Dev section for the Galaxy Player. This is for development, not for installation help. You should be able to ask in General.
Flashing ROMs can be scary at first, but the Dev board is best left for software development, feedback, etc. It makes it easier for the Devs not to have to wade through a field of nonsense.
tl;dr:
Post questions in General, not in Dev. It's a common mistake, don't worry too much.
I just want it to be as if it just came in a box because I'm selling it, how do I have it stock and unrooted?

Flash the stock rom found here via Odin3 and if it is rooted, download Root Browser from play store and and delete superuser.apk in system/app and delete su binary in system/bin and after you delete these two, reboot and uninstall root browser and you should be good.

hi
SHORT VERSION
installed cwm via odin onto sgs2 then cf root after.
phone goes into recovery and cwn but wont boot. (boots to logo then goes off)
i have original stock rom and .dll files
scared to flash through odin using .pit with .dll
LONG VERSION
ok let me slap my self round my own head.
i should of known better as i have rooted and installed cwn
so many times before but on this occasion i blame tiredness and
people yapping in my ears.
what i have did was to installed cwm onto a new 4.0.3 sgs2 phone via odin (pda then start)
then after noting my mistake i tried to boot the phone. it boot to logo screen then switch off.
i decided to cf root it with odin (again only pda and start) but again the phone boots to logo and triangle
then goes off.
maybe im in good luck the phone goes into recovery mode and cwn but wont boot.
i have the stock rom files that i downloaded
1, I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5
2. SS_DL.dll
with the above files i thought i could use the .PDA and ss_dl.dll for the .PIT in odin but im not 100%
sure since i do know that IT usage in odin will mess up the phone.
please can some one help me out thanks
HTCdia
.dll is not a .pit file...

Do not use the .pit file unless you understand 100% what you're doing, as its one of the easiest ways to brick your device.
I have a few questions before I can help you.
Can you get into download mode?
- If you can go to www.sammobile.com, download a stock firmware, flash through odin. If it still doesnt boot, try to wipe data/factory reset through 3e (stock recovery), then try to boot again.
-- After you do that, flash a cf-kernel to root the device.
does odin support .md5 file i have in the pda ..... man im really getting gittery
thanks

but know im worried about the .md5 at the end
ill be back later with a progress since sammobile takes long to download if you dont have a paid account

Yes, you can flash .md5 files in Odin.
That file is a single package and should contain everything you need. Flash via Odin in the PDA section. Don't touch anything else.
Also. You are SURE you have an i9100, right?

after a bit of reading and alot of head scratching ive found the bits i need to root my GS2.
found an unsecure kernal here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619525 , but i need a password,and theres nothing in the comments section (ive been through all 6 pages).
can anyone help me please?
thanks in advance
Flash CF-Root OR Siyah/Dorimanx/Fluxi/Dream [...] kernel.
Password: [email protected]
That didn't work for you?
thanks for the quick reply, but ive tried all of em in different variations and alone and im getting no joy
any ideas?
thanks nicholas1520, that worked for me this time.

Why would you flash that unknown, insecure kernel when there are several safe ones?
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
im a complete noob!.
ive been reading that you put the unsecure on first, then run root software (which ive done)
ive now rooted the S2, so if you would be kind enough to link or point me in the direction of a secure kernel to put on the phone now, id be very appreciative.
i just folowed a guide i found on google (probably outdated now) but it was easy for a noob like me, and im feeling proud ive done my first root!
i still have the triangle on the screen when turning on, so any help / point in the right direction is appreciated.
i used : Kernel_I9100XWLP7_INSECURE.tar.md5 to root the phone.
cheers
What's you model number? If it's i9100, flash Siyah kernel.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
it is an i9100.
is the firmware on this site?
would i loose anything ive already put on the phone, or would it just install over the stuff already on there?

Kernel is kernel not userdata.
sorry if this sounds like a daft question but,if i just flash SiyahKernel S2-v4.0.1 stright onto the phone, it will be a secure kernel, i wont loose root / anything ive put on there and i can just carry on as normal?
again, sorry for the "simple" questions, i know some of you must be thinking its so easy, but im still trying to take it all in....but im getting there, so please excuse any ignorance,its not intended.
thanks for all your help so-far, it is appreciated. i hope i can help someone out in the future too

It's normal in that the triangle shows when you flash a kernel that was not signed by Samsung while the phone is in download mode, probably using Odin. (but this applies to other tools such as Heimdall - as long as the phone is in download mode) The triangle will disappear if you flash a Samsung stock kernel back via download mode. You shouldn't lose root if you do this, but you will lose all the other features of Siyah if you do.
The triangle is pretty inconsequential, unless you for whatever reason need to send it in for warranty service.
My Note was running ICS installed from Kies. I attempted to root via You Tube video. I flashed a .tar file via odin that was intended for a Note on Gingerbread. Now I am stuck on the Samsung breathing screen. I am able to boot into download mode so I think there is hope... I have searched the forums and think I just need to flash stock ICS kernel but can find it??? Links? Thanks in advance.

I found the stock ATT Kernel unzipped it, installed it through Odin. It put me back to Gingerbread. Currently installing ICS through Kies.
It appears that you are up and running again....please look at the "note super everything thread" located at the top of the general section..
There you will find all of the current rooting, flashing threads for your device....
Then read, read, read, and read some more so you fully understand the process, and could do it in your sleep. "Then" you will be ready to jump into kernels, modems, and custom roms....
And for future reference, Please stay away from youtube as an instructional video.....while they make for good entertainment, they often lack the technical side of the installation process, and can leave out important steps in the process...getting users jammed up with no help available...
We are happy to help you here, anytime......g
First I read all the stickies and tried every installation to go back to stock but Odin just freezes up. Also tried different USB ports and and computers and same results. I can only go into download mode.
You may need to repartition. Not knowing the history of how your phone got to where it is now, I can't be sure. Can you give me a complete rundown of your issue?

How would I go about repartitioning the phone? I full wipe and flashed the new Shostock3 and it was doing fine. The next day when I woke up my phone had the sleep of death. The Galaxy S2 logo was stuck and I tried to get into recovery and it only showed half of the screen and was frozen. Now the screen says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Go to the Download Repository. The link is in my sig.
First, try flashing full stock Gingerbread. Use the download under the heading I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. This is the full distribution which contains the bootloaders. It doesn't matter whether you use the one-click downloader, or the tar.md5 file with Odin stand alone. If this flash completes, then you're recovered. Follow the guides to root and install a custom Gingerbread kernel, then flash back to SHOstock3 or whatever firmware you want.
If this flash does not complete, then download the I777 UCKH7 PIT and use that in Odin stand alone with the above tar.md5 file. Insert the tar in the PDA slot, the pit in the PIT slot, and check repartition, then flash.

Yes, I was hoping that the problem is not hardware, but it was a thought from the beginning, given the sequence of failure. Is the phone by chance still under warranty?
Let's don't give up yet, though.
Things to try, then try to flash the full firmware in between.
1. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the I777 secondary bootloader.
2. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the param.lfs.
Try the instructions in this post.

You can already get into download mode. I don't believe there is any difference in the download mode produced by a jig. A jig is really helpful if the wrong secondary bootloader was flashed by accident (or ignorance), and you can't get the phone into download mode any ohter way.
