Hi guys
Bascially I need to have Android 2.3 on my Galaxy WiFi 5.0, I need HD video etc so im running into a problem. I have installed Eryigit-GB-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA Galaxy Player/wifi 5.0 ROM at the minute but I really would like unmodified 2.3 ROM not this one yet when I try to use odin to flash this ROM: Galaxy Player 5.0 Gingerbread KPH 2.3.6 it says every thing went ok but the device bootloops. Now Ive tried it with just the ROM and then Flashed the Kernel INTL one and it still does this?
Any help guys thanks

Well the obvious first thing is that the stock kernel does not support ext4, so it will not boot without access to /data and /cache. Try going into stock recovery and wiping data. If it just gives you a bunch of errors, you need to flash and *repartition* in Odin. Then try wiping in stock again.

So there has been a lack of relevant threads that explain my topic issue for me so I have decided to make one for myself and for others in the event that this happens. So right now I am using RemICS-UX 4.0.4 but I wanted to use Eng-matts ergybit 2.3 rom, because I am traveling and I need video calling from skype, but when I tried to flash this rom with odin, instal via cwm it goes into a bootloop. I also tried to flash Ruebens Lewa os since it uses gingerbread as a base, then I tried to acquire the ROM again but I git a bootloop. Sadly I didnt back up my stock rom, so I'm trying to find away to get back to the stock rom so I can fladh eng matts rom again.
So if anyone has anyway for me to get to my stock rom please help

You need to install rj kernel if you have an intl device and entropy kernel for usa device . After you install the kernel you can flash erygit rom. Just replace the kernel

maybe you should flash the rom again with cwm and if you get a bootloop just reset factory/cache works for me : )
Go into CWM Recovery (if possible) and flash rumirand r14 kernel and flash a new ROM.
Suggestion: Next time flash a ROM via CWM Recovery, ODIN flashing is easier to brick than CWM, CWM is very safe and you can always reset the bootmode if you're stuck somewhere!
Thanks guys

i got a GP 5.0 yp-g70cb/mea over the weekend and was surprised it got froyo 2.2.2 ive been reading and decided to try other roms based on GB but i got a couple of questions
how to do a full back up - i saw a guide for the 4.0 but not applicable for the 5.0
upgrading from froyo to ginger bread is it possible to revert back to froyo if anything goes wrong?
is there a cwm that works with the stock 2.2.2? i did search and came up with nothing
thanks,
aben

Please read here... This thread should answer most of your questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
If you are wanting to upgrade to Froyo but are not sure about playing with custom roms, due to fear of bricking, etc... just do a factory upgrade to GB via Kies... no risk in doing so... and if anything was to go wrong, it's Samsung factory upgrade so you should be covered via warranty.
If you are brave enough to venture into custom roms, there are few options available for you. GB roms are pretty safe... no need for pre work... just download the custom GB roms and flash using Odin3... most of these roms will work for both US & INT versions of the players, provided that you flash the right kernel. Anyway... do some reading. Good luck...
Also, if you flash a kernel first, you can make a nandroid backup which can take you back to froyo.

Not really afraid of trying out custom roms i just feel the need to do a full backup before diving in in case something screw up but cant find any guide for doing so
i tried kies but it seems like mea models are not having GB updates from sammy
Flashing the kernel seems like a good idea but is it rom dependent let say rj custom kernel for intl version will it work on froyo assuming it is from GB (not sure)
Again i want to do a full backup before trying things up

Kernel version is independent of android version. I believe both yp-g70 kernels are based on the source thar Samsung released with froyo anyways.

If you want to install a different kernal, I recommend u to use Entropy512's kernal and when you flash, use an older version of super one click because you need to root it.

A friend of mine recently updated her Galaxy S2 from the stock GB 2.3.6 to AT&T's ICS update. According to her it's ruined the phone and she wants to go back. I'm assuming it's as simple as flashing a stock GB 2.3.6 ROM with Odin onto the phone but I can't seem to find that ROM anywhere. I flashed the hell out of my old Galaxy and have already flashed my Galaxy S3 a few times, but I've never worked with an S2 before so pardon the noobness

If you wanna go back to stock gingerbread here's the link. Please read the entire post, its very easy to do. I've done it a few times when I've managed to soft-brick my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
Edit: There is a bug in stock ics kernel that seems to mess up the phone. Since you're not rooted double check with a recognized dev or contributor to make sure this will work.
Doing a data wipe or factory reset from within recovery with stock ics kernel can result in a bricked phone as a result of the emmc bug - so avoid doing such as long as the stock ics kernel is on the phone.
First flash back to a gingerbread kernel or a safe ics kernel before doing any wipe or factory reset.

Hello, Just Picked up my S2 I900m today. I am on the Bell Canada network. My previous phone is the I9000m (still love it) which was Rooted using Slim ICS and the Semaphore kernel using the KG3 Modem.
I've spent a few hours reading/research and for some reason the 9100 seems a little more complicated. I basically want a smiliar setup as I had with the i9000.
I think once I get the recovery figured out, I can start by flashing CM9 and then SLIM ICS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: I forgot to mention I bought the phone used so it has been upgraded to 4.03 MUGLD3
well, the great thing with i9100 is that you can basically match anything up (considering of what OS you're in: GB or ICS) unlike that of i9000's, you have to be on that firmware so you can flash that something and etc.
if you have a good background in flashing things in i9000, then you're good to go in the i9100 world

Hi. I wont introduce myself as there is no need for that, i'll just say that i have no how to PROPERLY install a ROM and Kernel on an Android. I know how to do it in Symbian S60V5, but that was ages ago.
I have a Galaxy Player 5.0 International, YPG70-EB confused
I already rooted it, but i dont like the TouchWiz 3.0 at all. I installed a custom TW 4.5, its much better but it crashes often. So i got rid of it.
Anyways, what is a Kernel? Do i need to put a custom Kernel? If yes, before the ROM or after the ROM? Do you install the both via ZIP file in
Android System Recovery (3e) ?
I'm sorry for being a total noob, i already tried this once and i hard bricked my Player. Cost me 20 euros to fix it.
Firmware version: 2.3.5
Kernel version: 2.6.35-G70XXKPF-CL562492 ([email protected] #2)
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXKPF (KPF, not KPH )
flash rj's kernel first through odin then flash a rom

Did that. Quite dissapointed that in the kernel thread, OP didnt say that Camera doesnt work.
I know that in CM9 camera isnt working, but before flashing ROM, i was in GB and it didnt work.
Camera is working.
try flashing again.

Link for custom ROMs
Go to this link. You can find all the custom ROMs as well as stock ones for the Samsung Galaxy Player. Note that the stock based ROMs are simply modified versions of stock firmware, most have alternate launchers installed. The non-stock based ROMs usually have some problems, so if you want a fully working ROM with cool tweaks, use a stock-based one.
