More Help! - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

If someone could provide me/direct me to a ROM with bootloaders, I'd be very thankful. Or if someone could tell me how to save my bricked player, that would be nice too. Thanks!

I used the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386669 to resurrect a player I bought fully bricked. No sign of life but now it's running normally. Go to the end of the thread and read my post.
I had to do a few attempts with diffent bootloaders and roms but at the end, I was able to get it back.
I am sure you have read most of the thread I pointed out to you already, but retry the steps since that is how I was able get mine to reboot normally.
Use the resurrector in Linux to get the player into Download mode (it went from black screen to showing Phone(!)PC icon). Trick is to keep it plugged in, since unplugging it shuts the player down and can't get Download mode with the button combos. So you will either need to have a Linux box with Virtual session of Windows to run Odin or, as my case, a dual boot. If you use the dual boot, when you switch from Linux to Windows, do not power down. Instead, reboot. It keeps the USB port powered and the player stays in Download mode (Phone(!)PC). In Windows run Odin to load bootloaders. You will need to flash a couple different bootloaders.
I flashed the Download mode only bootloader along with the pit file (included in the OP of the thread ^) to get the player into Download mode. It was stuck there until I flashed the SamsungPlayer bootloader (all found in the thread above) and got it to go into Recovery mode. Once there, I flashed a rom with CWM, factory reset and reboot... worked for me.

As per the PM that I sent you, I'm also putting the link to the russian froyo firmware that I found, here. This firmware does have bootloaders in the firmware.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Both of you guys helped me out, thank you so much!!

[Q] SGP 5.0 U.S. Ver. HARD BRICKED! HELP!!!

Hi, I'm pretty new to Android and stuff, but I bricked my SGP 5.0 with a mod.. At first I was able to go into download mode but then I think I flashed the wrong firmware and now the device is completely unresponsive. Any advice on what to do would be great. I also already checked out all the forums on here but none have been able to work for me. Thanks in advance!
Yup. I was in the same boat as you. Exact same one actually. However i managed to get best buy to to switch mine out because i said it was "defective". I tried the linux tutorial with resurrector and nothing as well. And i also tried.... Well everything. From my thread i posted I gathered that no one (at leasr on xda) knows how to unbrick these damn things. So until these get more popular. Your sunk. Sorry pal:/
try the resurrector.. it's worked for me on a few occasions. it brought mine back from not even being able to turn on.
one thing that's not incredibly obvious with it though is you have to hold "vol up" for download mode while the program is doing its thing. if you don't hold the button it wont work.
Tried it.
I tried that already though and it wouldn't let me unbrick it, but I'll give it another try with what you said about the Vol.+Up keys! Thanks!
I don't have a 4.0 player but my 5.0 player was bricked initially the first time I tried to root... To get it into Download mode you need to hold Vol-(Vol down) button and Power button as the unit is powering up. Hold both for a few seconds until you see the yellow download mode picture.
Good luck
Are you able to get to the download mode? If so I have a simple solution. If not, start a download of Ubuntu to have the proper stuff to fix your problem.
I'm running Ubuntu with the Unbrickable Mod and I have it in download mode and I have virtualmachine installed with windows and sammy drivers but my player wont show up in odin3. Any ideas to get it shwoing?
Either, shutdown VM and see if usb device shows up in windows. If it still does not then unplug usb from pc and then plug it back in, or transfer usb back to host in VM.
I tried that already.. It still doesn't show up in Odin3.
Check device manager for vm drivers for usb and remove them?
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Hmmm.... I don't really understand what you mean.. Sorry!
When you attach a usb device to a VM the vm software replaces the drivers of the USB device on the host with virtual drivers that redirects IO from the USB device to guest If the original driver does not get put back in during a detach then IO never goes back to the host.
I know that sounds complicated but I do not know how else to explain it...

Okay, i fixed that. I have it in download mode, i uploaded the bootloaders that adamoutler has. I uploaded the stock rom you have. Odin3 said pass. But its still in download mode, autoreboot was checked. when i try turning it on, the download screen appears but the icon for download goes all over the screen then stops. Its still recognizeable in odin3 too. Any ways to get this thing going?
My stock rom does not include bootloaders and adam outler's bootloaders are only a temporary solution. What you need to do is flash a full international rom that has bootloaders. Then flash my stock rom to fix the capacitive buttons.
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Alright I see what you mean!! Where can I get a full stock rom though?
Well, I'm not exactly sure. I used to get mine from samfirmware.com but they have recently changed their site. You might try rumirands stock recovery in the dev section. You'll want to open it up and look for files like: boot.bin and Sbl.bin . These are the bootloader files. This will verify that you have a rom with bootloaders in it.
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Alright thanks a lot! Ill try rumirands stock and if that doesnt work ill go to samfirmware.com. Ill be back with the results in a few hours!!
Well Rumirands ROM did not. work. samfirmware.com only has the French and Chinese Rom versions so that doesnt help either. I downloaded a .tar.md5 from here : http://www.4shared.com/file/zhZjh0EY/package_us235tar.html..... Should I flash this by itself or do I need a pit file too?
The language of the ROM does not matter. What matters is that is has the boot loaders. Flashing my Stock ROM over it will fix language and capacitive buttons.
Make sure you have followed AdamOutler's intructions precisely. I don't recall having to use a pit file other than the one in his intructions but if comes to it, it is another troubleshooting point.
Realyy? Hm alright so what your saying is that when I have it in download mode, and with, lets the the chinese firmware, I flash that, turn on my sgp to see if it loads and then put it in download mode again and flash your stock rom, that it might work fine again???

You probably have thought of, and tried this but......
I have a galaxy nexus and found myself stuck in a very simalar situation.
I came accross a galaxy nexus toolkit by WugFresh, and i managed to get stock back on through the adb interface.
The toolkit automatically detected my phone and what version of the firmware it needed, downloaded it and flashed it on to my phone. It can also use the fastboot interface but adb is by far better in my personal opinion...
Maybe this could help you out, or maybe could even find a galaxy note version.
As your in a non working state atm, you have nothing to lose by at least giving it a go.
May not help, but i thought i would try and give some assistance.

I forgot about this post, sorry. I also posted in the Galaxy Note general section where I replied, I thought I would risk it and reboot my phone and it rebooted as normal...phew!...and when I when back into download mode and tried flashing the ROM again...it worked! A little wierd but i'm happy I haven't done anything damanging to my phone, watch something happen tomorrow like my phone not turning on
glad you got it working again. there is nothing worse than banging your head against a brick wall with a broken phone!!
luckily these days, it is near impossible to brick a phone completely. thank heavens for small mercys!!

[Black Screen Brick] Flashed i9000 bootloaders.

So, I was thinking about giving a try the "serial console" way. Any instructions or directions on how to do it? Do I need the 623K resistor between pins 4-5 or in that state the player automatically allow the debug console?
Thanks in advance.
so wait, you flashed the wrong bootloader and now it's not working?
if so, try the ultimate resurrector thread in the dev section
I just used the guides found in the Dev section to resurrect a fully dead player... go there before you really break your player...
Actually, I accidentally flashed the wrong bootloaders & rom. I was dealing with a Galaxy S phone, at the same time. My bad. The problem is that the player is not recognized by my computer. Not even as a "S5PC110 Kit". It's like a real brick.
I think that the only way, is to go through serial console, upload the correct bootloaders and put it into download mode.
Maybe I can boot it by the SD card?! If so, anyone know how I can do it or what image I can use?
Thanks.
I don't think it allows SD card booting, but I could be wrong. When I've used the unbrickable resurrector before the device wasn't being recognized at all.. so if you haven't tried it yet it might be worth giving it a go.
If that doesn't work, you probably have to make or buy something to bring it back from the dead.

Have you tried this on a Linux box? The resurrector works in Linux.
If you are saying that your device is not even being shown as a SEC-S5PC110 when you plug into a usb port, I am not sure what you can do. If you flashed a wrong bootloader, I think you can still bring it back. Do a search and follow the directions found in the resurrector thread. I recovered a SEC-S5PC110 bricked device back from the dead using the method.
Good luck
Anyone with the jtag/uart diagram/pinout, at least?

SGP 5.0 International Version Bricked - Please help

Please friends, help!
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 (with phisycal home button) bricked.
I accidentally flashed the rom to SGS-I9000B to the SGP 5.0 so it got bricked.
It's status is: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.
After weeks of exaustive researche, the only way I was able to enter in download mode was using the Adam's Outler procedure: Instaling Linux (Ubuntu along W7), Java, Oracle Virtual Box, a XP version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40.
Well, using this procedure SGP 5.0 enters in downloading mode and when I use the PIT file and BootloadersOnly provided by Adam the result in Odin is PASS! Despite that SGP doesn't reboot and keeps the same way: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.
So I enter in download mode using Unbrickable Resurrector R40 again and try to flash several SGP 5.0 YP-G70 Intl ROMs: Stock Froyo, Stock Ginger Bread and some Customs ROMs most of them PASS in the Odin result BUT SGP 5.0 never reboots or turn on after the procedure.
I have a doubt of marking or not Re-partition in Odin, but the procedure just works if I mark it.
I feel I was close to resurrect it and make it work again but all I've got is frustration.
I'm not an expert as the major of you so I beg some enlightned soul show me the way to make it works: step by step and share with me the right files I have to use to make it works.
I also tryied the same procedure using Odin 1.3, 1.7, 1.83 version. All the same result.
It seems like I miss something. I also tried several procedures I found in other threads none worked for me.
I also have installed Heimdall but I was not able to find the appropriate files to use it and SGP 5.0 can not have the batery removed. Someone wrote Adam has developed a tool for SGP full recovery but I didnt find it.
Please, folks, help me and I will share the solution with other people in the same situation.
Thanks and best regards.
Wanted you to know I saw your post but got a full plate today... If you can get to download mode we should be able to get you fixed up... just give me some time...
Ok, So I've been reading your post and it seems like you've been diligent in looking for fixes. I don't understand this:
"Instaling Linux (Ubuntu along W7), Java, Oracle Virtual Box, a XP version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40."
Does that mean that installed Ubuntu "natively" or in Virtual box? or have tried both?
Same problem

Hi. I'm in the same situation. Flashed the Player 4 rom and I've got a black box now. I've just been chilling for a few weeks, tired of flashing it and failing, so I'm glad to see somebody else is working on this too.
I hope one of us has some luck soon.

Hi, Meticulus.
I've installed Ubuntu so I can run the Unbrickable Ressurector under Ubuntu, then I run a Widows XP version with a VBOX under Ubuntu too to run Odin.
The farest I could go is to make it get into forced Download mode using Resurrector, but It wont turn on after passing in Odin.
Really need your help.
Thanks in advance.

OK, once you use the un-brickable resurector to get to download mode (don't reboot or anything), you need to flash a rom with boot loaders such as this one: http://www.4shared.com/zip/vxHoJ8E0/G70JKKE3_STOK_222RU_.html
If your partition tables are messed up, it may not boot but you should be able to get back to download mode without the resurector.... Hold power and volume down to try...
Give that a try let me know how it goes...

the reason for your spg not booting is cause your flashing the incorrect stuff onto it. idealy you want to flash a stock rom that works then CWM onto it so it doesn't happen in the future as your then flash the rest from there. ill get your my tablets stocks...

Yes, Java looks like the culprit. So I've tried Ubuntu from a live dvd and got Java errors there too.
Then I tried permutations of (jdk07u40, jdk-6u25, and jdk-6u16) with Unbrickable (R36, R37, R38 and R40) on my Slackware 14 machine. They all gave the same error message. Googling that error message gives many millions of results, all highly specialized Java discussions which I don't understand.
The only positive at this point is that UnbrickableResurrector does see the device and starts the process. Then Java dies.
So I'm looking for another angle. I will try Ubuntu again; I've freed up a small partition and I'll install it there. I'm wondering if I need an older version of Java, to match the era when these devices were current. Maybe Resurrector isn't compatible with newer Java jdk??
Any other ideas?

Don't use Heimdall, After you get the player into download mode. Take it to Windows and use Odin! If you are using Heimdall for Windows then uninstall it. Then reinstall windows drivers from Samsung or install Kies... Then use Odin.

Hello out there. I'm back with good news, kinda. I'm now in the position of the original poster. I have a totally dead un-responsive do-nothing black box, BUT I am able to use the Resurrector and then Odin and I can successfully flash a pit, a bootloader and a rom. But then the Galaxy does not reboot.
This still feels like progress, since I couldn't even use the Resurrector a few days ago. I finally had to install Ubuntu Desktop on my machine. The Resurrector wouldn't run from Slackware or even from a Ubuntu live DVD.
So it looks like the sticking point for both the OP and I is the reboot.
Any further ideas are welcomed. Thanks for your interest.

Well, I did exactly what you said and did it using the same Odin version 1.81 and I got surprised when I saw Samsung Logo aparing but it got stocked on this screen for several minutes so I decided to unplug the USB cable and try to turn if off and on again. It still got stucked into the screen with Samsung logo and after about 5 minutes it turned off and will not turns on.
What to do know?
I think it might be to got out of battery but dont know what do next.
Remebering that my SGP is International version with Physical Home button.
Wait for guidance to next steps

Only thing i can think of is repeating the steps into download mode by doing, power down Phone if you had not already, remove the battery, plug USB into Phone, hold down both volume buttons and while holding both, insert the battery. If that fails to work I'm afraid it could be hardware failure, I've had it happen to me once but i was lucky and was covered by insurance and had it replaced for free. I've had much better luck by powering off the device while holding both volume buttons down inserting the batter followed by usb cord just be sure to have Odin up and running first. hopefully you get your device back up to par...

Any help would be great.

Wait, if you are the guy with the T959V model, these forums are not for your model, let alone the JFD firmware which is for the T959. Link for your specific model: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-4g
