If someone has a rooted Samsung Galaxy Player 5 (USA model preferably) can you please give me a copy of the kernel on your device?
I made a copy of everything besides that one particular thing. Thank's in advance.
Which kernel stock or Entropy's Kernel?
The stock kernel.

Kernel is inside stock ROM file (post 20 as per OP).
I checked, and only noticed the factory.fs file provided. No zImage.

Look further down the thread then. It's mmcblk0p11, but mmcblk0p12 is exactly the same. http://www.mediafire.com/?52cya212q62cp9m is the link. Just rename one to zImage.
Thank you for clearing this up for me. :good:
No luck flashing,
Kernel cannot be compressed to the system dump or flashed on it's own. My device won't boot without it.

I don't see anything wrong with that screenshot, but maybe it's because it should be a lowercase z.
It stays stuck on that screen, it's been about 20 minutes with or without changing the lettering.
Even tried compressing it in the system dump, no luck.
system dump doesn't boot ether.

Must be an Odin issue then. That kernel is bit-for-bit identical to the other known stock.
Ive tried Odin 3.5, 2.8, 1.5, and 1.8.. im sorry this is such a issue.
System dump, PIT, and Bootloader will flash but not the kernel.

Multiupload links removed - MU seems to be gone forever. I will repost an unrooted UCKH7 package in the next week along with a modem package - Until then, use the rooted package and then remove:
/system/xbin/su
/system/bin/su
/system/app/Superuser.apk
And then reboot
I have uploaded Heimdall/Odin flashable kernel ,rooted system, and modem images to dev-host. This should be sufficient to unbrick most hosed-up phones, as long as you didn't flash a bad .pit. Note that after flashing this, you might need to wipe data depending on what ROM you were coming from. If you bootloop or things behave wacky, enter 3e recovery (stock kernel means stock recovery) and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. If you are reverting from UCKK6 back to UCKH7 you MUST perform this step or wifi will not work. If you're coming from a 100% stock ROM and only using this to gain root, you should be able to keep all your data and not need to wipe.
The kernel is 100% bone stock, the system image is stock except that it is pre-rooted (su binary and Superuser.apk)
I am including the modem in a separate package since that goes in a separate modem slot, and I don't want to reupload a 200+ MB file if I don't have to.
The kernel + rooted UCKH7 system package is here: http://dev-host.org/UWm
Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package: http://dev-host.org/8LA
Download, extract the package using 7-Zip, which can be downloaded from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html, then either:
1) (Tested on Linux, should work on MacOS) - Extract the tar and flash the components with heimdall from the commandline as follows:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --factoryfs factoryfs.img
for the kernel + system package, and:
Code:
heimdall flash --modem modem.bin
for the modem package
I've never had good results with the Heimdall Frontend GUI.
2) (Tested by Jivy26 for kernel + system, untested for modem) - Flash the .tar in Odin. I'm a Linux user, so I have only tested this with Heimdall so far.
Kernel + system package goes in PDA slot I believe, modem package in Phone slot.
If you are wondering why I used 7-Zip to compress the archive:
7-Zip provides better compression ratios than Zip
7-Zip is open source unlike RAR
If it were a zip file, some doofus would probably think it was CWM-flashable and complain that it didn't flash.
Also - great thanks goes to Jivy26 for providing a stock /system dump. Without that it would not have been possible to make the system image or get a kernel dump.
Coming in the next few days - stock unrooted /system package.
Also just added - a param.lfs backup from my device. This is NOT contained in an Odin-flashable .tar file yet, I'll work on cleaning up my packages when I'm feeling better. I came down with a nasty cold a few days ago.
UPDATE:
creepyncrawly has written an EXCELLENT step-by-step guide for flashing this with Odin. The guide is at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
In addition, he posted an Odin-flashable tar package for just the stock kernel, for those who want to do a ! removal. I have mirrored the file (I don't trust Dropbox for long-term hosting) at http://www.multiupload.com/MD7SMMNG24 - his original post is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18535109&postcount=174
Awesome, thanks. Downloading now.
*If it were a zip file, some doofus would probably think it was CWM-flashable and complain that it didn't flash.*
LOL! Enough said right there. Thanks Ent!
Worked great with odin, thanks.
If one was to add the correct pit file to your package would that fix a bad pit flash, as well as fix if one had messed up partitions?
They would be useful for flashing back from cm7 wouldn't it? Or am I completely off?

With a good .pit file, yes it could recover from a bad .pit flash.
As far as going back/forth to CM7 - I believe that differences in architecture between the original GS and the GSII (mainly no FSR/RFS proprietary modules) make going to/from CM7 much less painful.

Enter recovery (this kernel has stock 3e recovery) and wipe data/factory reset.
Power off (may need to battery pull), then:
Hold VolUp+VolDn
Push Power until the screen turns on
Let go of Power, keep holding VolUp+VolDn until you're in recovery

No, shouldn't hurt anything. Should only need to wipe if coming from a significantly different ROM such as CM7 or an I9100 ROM.

Yes, but I figured this would be more popular and uploading one of these takes an hour. I'll put up the unrooted stock in a day or two as I'm doing kernel work. However it's easy enough to unroot, just remove the two following files:
Code:
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/xbin/su

Hey kids! Don't know if anyone here knows me, but I am an ex avid Captivate user. But I've been out of the game for so long (exploring webOS and BBOS7) that I am very behind. Anyone kidn enough to post a link to the newest Odin? Also, what slot do .tar files go into? The first one, PDA?
EDIT: Opened the file, definitely PDA Still, anyone have a good link to a working Odin? I remember at one time some Odin versions worked really badly, and I used the original 1.00 but I heard there is a 2 and I'd prefer to use that with this new phone.
hi,
this morning i downloaded a i9305's stock rom in order to port it in my device (i9300) by using dsixda kitchen port tool. i ve flashed the edited rom and i got bootloop, then i tried to go to recovery i got black screen mixed with blue line (like a panic kernel). i pulled out the battery, flashed a stock rom by odin. the results are : touchscreen not responding, phone very slow to boot up
i tried everythings to restore it (factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, formated system, flashed original rom, full s/w with pit,pda,modem,csc....please help me
thanks
Allthough it is considered very risky try to flash stock fw with repartition ticked and pit file

You have asked got reply's tried most that can be advised all that is left is a paid for service repair .

If you haven't tried already - I would repartition with pit first. (Make sure repartition is ticked)
If that fails then its possible the bootloader has been somewhat damaged. how far does the boot progress?
would need a sboot.bin that is within a tar file to flash via Odin - bit risky though!
edit
(can get sboot.bin.tar file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916796

I'm not sure what your asking?
AFAIK most of the drivers are within kernel and some with in ROM.
so if you successfully flash it with Stock ROM (includes kernel and ROM and modem) then they return to stock .
if your flashing is unsuccessful/failed on Odin, then you could try the SDcard technique
But personally I would send for warranty repair.

Try using a PIT when flashing. That will make sure Odin maps partitions correctly.
Pushed with Heimdall, and honestly had no luck. There is about 20 different things I tried to get this working and none of them worked correctly. Giving up as of now.

I've always been able to flash Entropy's kernel (assuming yr on US) with CWM, even when coming down from ICS/JB. Try that if you haven't yet tried
I saw alot of people asking about these, so I've repacked the stock Modem, Bootloader, Kernel and Recovery from the full .tar separately as Odin flashable .tar's for anyone who needs them. And also created a recovery flashable stock kernel.
I've tested them all out and they work correctly for me, use at your own risk though. For G900T ONLY
Also, consider this: Warning flashing Bootloader/Modem/ FULL FIRMWARE LOLLIPOP

Thanks so much for posting these. I upgraded modem, bootloader and kernel no problem.
Stock kernel seems to work better than the ktoonsez one (for me at least), but i don't think I can get SElinux to be permissive on the stock kernel (doesn't seem to stick when I use SElinux mode changer app), which in turn seems to mean I can't use Viper...so I flashed back ktoonsez kernel since I can't live without Viper
Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong...I know this isn't a Viper thread, but I'm pretty sure I read over there that SElinux permissive was a must for Viper to work, so if stock kernel doesn't allow for that, then my next thought is it possible to have stock kernel that's SElinux permissive?
How did you guys install the stock kernel? I used odin, wiped cache, and all I get is the initial Galaxy S5 Power By Android logo and it never goes past this.
did you try pulling the battery before you start the phone up on download mode? I always have to do that first and the always works for me.

As cyhamada says above, you sometimes have to pull the battery before going into Download mode. Also, try a different version of Odin. With Odin 3.09 flashing the full .tar results with my phone sitting on the boot logo.

You have to be on stock for it to stick, and sometimes it will take a couple tries of lashing it even then, usually the best way is to pull battery and then boot into download.

Here's what I would do if I were in your situation. Grab the full OB1 .tar and Odin 3.07 along with TWRP. I would: Odin TWRP>Do a factory reset>Pull battery>Boot into Download mode>Flash OB1>Let it sit for about 20 min. If you have adb set up on your computer I would also do "adb logcat" to see what exactly is going on. Although I don't recall if it'll pickup after a factory reset, I just do it so often on mine I never pay attention.
If that failed I would Odin TWRP and grab one of the Lollipop roms and flash that.
Hi, Would like some help or information if possible. I have a rooted Note 3 (N9005) and had TWRP on it for about a year, then i tried downloading a new rom it says i need to have a newer TWRP. But when i try to download TWRP (any version) on Odin 3. It dowloads to the phone as i can see the blue line going along at the bottom, it then reboots to my rom and i can use the old rom alright but when i go into recovery it says in red writing Could not do normal boot-Odin mode. And i have to go back onto Odin and download TWRP again and my old rom is back again. 1: How do i delete TWRP altogether and start again ( if i can ). 2: If i cant delete TWRP how do i go about putting a new rom onboard. I have searched your forums and can not see any with same problem with a Note 3. I still have root access and have tried Rootify with no luck.
Newer TWRP and rom are probably based on newer firmware. I'd back up everything, Odin the newest firmware then reinstall TWRP and flash new rom. This way you'll have the newer bootloader and modem.

I wouldn't know without knowing what you downloaded. Often the .tar or .tar.md5 files that you download here are zipped to conserve space. Most likely just have to unzip it.

It's not uncommon that you would need to boot to recovery and perform a factory reset after the flash. And it will take awhile to reboot afterwards.

Its still not letting me put TWRP on is there any way round this, I downloaded TWRP 2.8.7.0 and did it via Odin 3.10.6. At the moment i have the recovery that came with the firmware and that is saying error on every Rom i am trying. If you cant help where do i put it on, Q & A or XDA Assist. Do i have to format my phone and start from scratch? Thanks in advance.
Need TWRP 3.0 + for Marshmallow roms.
