Im trying to return my galaxy player to stock with mevordels 2.3.6 stock tar i have a perfectly functioning usb cable with my galaxy player in download mode and plugged in but for some damn reason it doesn't show up on odin can anyone help me
Try a different port, reinstall the drivers
Should this even be in a Dev section?

Wrong section. This should be in GENERAL!!!
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda app-developers app
He can build his own PA ROM, but can't remember to post in the general section! XD
But enough of the ranting from me. Try these solutions:
Use a USB 2.0 port, preferably not one through a hub. (try using the ones on the back of the computer)
Reinstall the drivers.
Try using a different computer
Try using a stock cable/a different cable
If you've been doing this for longer than 20 minutes and nothing's working, throw your computer into a fire and blame the government.
Try using Heimdall
are you sure you were editing the build.prop file and added
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
to the bottom?
and did you do it within cm10.1 or in windows?
you could always try adb push[ing] a non modified build prop.

I'm on cm7 and my pc recognizes my phone...I'm using vista home edition and odin v1.7 I don't know if that matters but my pc at work runs xp pro and I haven't tried to hook up to that one yet..what version of windows are you running??
I'm still on the original drivers I downloaded a year ago when I flashed my first custom rom and I also didn't go to ec09, I came straight from ukb2.1 which was ed01 or ed04...can't remember

Just want to make sure you didn't mis-read it...I'm on vista home, not windows 7...I would think it is more a problem with your pc's current
o.s. more then with your odin version...I'm just trying suggestions just because I'm running the same setup other then windows difference between us, but have never had that problem

Long story short is that my fascinate will not sync to the computer through usb. This usually was not a major issue for me until the phone started shutting itself off, and wouldn't power back on without being plugged in. I'm thinking hardware issue. So I need to take the phone in for a warranty exchange, but I have powerwashed on it.
Since I can't odin due to my damaged usb port, is there a cwm-flashable stock rom available that also gets rid of cwm itself?

Have you tried the following:
Different battery?
Cleaning the USB port on phone, both ends of cable and PC?
Uninstalling and re installing drivers?
I ask because I don't think you can get back to an official Verizon rom with out Odin, but I don't know for sure.
power washed is ed05 I believe, you may be able to find a stock kernel that is in a .zip file and flash with you're current recovery, reboot and allow the stock kernel to overwrite recovery but i'm not even sure if that's possible??

Yes, I've had the phone for a bit so I have a bunch of accessories.
different battery, check.
cleaned usb ports, and tried another cable
Drivers on 3 different computers (ubuntu, win xp, and win 7) too.
I haven't had a stock kernel on the phone in a long time, so that's a good idea for recovery.
I'm thinking if I can get an early build of a rom like geewiz(very close to stock) and reinstall the bloatware manually, then un root it, plus do the recovery thing, I can give it The appearance of being stock.
Or I can try to brick it and play stupid.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
So just to be sure you've tried hooking up to Odin, putting the phone in download mode and see if you get"com"and a number in the box?
I ask this because I've had my PC(running vista home basic and Odin v 1.7) not see my phone but Odin would still see it and I could still flash...
I would not try to brick it and play stupid..I brought them a fully binged and bloated eb01...not even a official release, when I was having data issues...end result my modem was fried..got a new one free and returned old one with eb01 still on it and never heard a thing from Verizon
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yes I have tried hooking it up in download mode. Windows pops up with a dialog saying that the usb device connected has malfunctioned when in download mode. Never get a com port. When normally booted I can't get the sd card to mount, but it will tether via usb. I've just been using an app called software data cable to transfer files to the phone.
Also ubuntu pc with hemidall gets nothing, but I don't know if that's just from my own stupidity. I've never been able to get that working.

Just as an update, I'm downloading an old, bloated EB01 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948943) to see if I can get that stock look. It's deodexed, but i doubt that will make a difference.
Tried the update, and guess what... Not edify compatible. is there anyone out there that can package a cwm 3.0 flashable, fully bloated , fully stock rom?

Here ya go...edify and amend script support in 1 recovery!...flash this zip with current recovery...select reboot recovery in the cwm menu after it should reboot into the 3-30 fix all recovery...I believe its 2.5.1 but don't quote me, the point is it supports both scripts, then flash the fully bloated rom you have...it should work

when my phone entering usb storage mode my pc cannot show the sd card folder in the explorer..anyone can help? im on GeeWiz rom and OTB kernel
Is USB debugging selected in settings, application, development...it should be checked?..also you may have to select mount external storage or whatever it says in the pull down notification bar after you plug in to your PC to get it to recognize it.
And one last thing make sure you have the correct drivers...if you do, try uninstalling and re-installing them

Is there a guide to do this? If so post it here or a link to it. It seems that a lot of us have lost the ability for our phones to be recognized via USB ODIN & Heimdall.
I can download from the net directly to my internal sd card but i cant use any of the normal methods to get to stock due to USB being broken. Can a flash to stock be accomplished with out the above methods?

wow... if you read that entire post you would see the links are dead... dont be a jerk . But since i have your attention do i just restore the nandroid from cw recovery on cm7?
Unrooted is fine, he put instructions in post 2
I may be wrong here, but don't you need odin to reparation back to rfs? If nandroid doesn't change the kernel it won't change file system.

Good point... How do i get back to the correct file system...
^ what file system are you on?
What ever Cyanogen Mod 7.1 nightly is.
...which makes me realize there is a script in the flashable zip that set up partitions and sets up the file system... why is this not possible to set up a flashable stock zip? If it is just a matter of scripting, tell me how and i will create this my self and post it. I just cant afford a screw up since my USB is broken.
I am not certain how to do that.
It looks like eugene's roms flash and wipe... gonna try it... i may be without a phone... i will let you know.
You have to overcome the fact that cm7 used mtd partition mount points, and stock vibrant uses bml blocks. The cm7 Kernel doesn't see bml, but rather mtd. And so just "making a flashable script" just won't cut it, hence the reason for needing to odin back.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Dammit, so why can you switch to mtd and not back to bml?... there is a file in the cm7 zip that switches it, called bml_to_mtd... so in theory there should be a way to go backwards... if i knew how to do that then there would be no need for this ... oh well... TO THE WEBS!!!
It's all about the kernel.
There is a script that checks between bml and mtd, and flashes the kernel in prep for mtd conversion, then reboots and and sets up mtd.
And since you have mtd partitions, and you need odin/heimdall to flash a bml kernel and then you can flash a Samsung rom.
It's not the script, it's the kernel.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
So... I'm screwed ... or in essence I need the original kernel to setup bml. Well at least I'm learning something.

Even if you had the original kernel, flashing it correctly is the problem.
Also, are why can't you use a computer to odin/heimdall?

I there is easy way to go back to froyo based rom from Trigger [2.3.5].
I searched form but all are suggesting Odin.
Can I do that without Odin.
On PC Samsung drivers never worked. SO I can't use Odin.
Please suggest some alternate way around.

Sorry man but Odin is the only way. Make sure you check repartition when you flash back to JDF also. As far as the drivers go, they automatically downloaded for me when I plugged my phone on to my laptop while in download mode. Try that and see if it works for you. Good luck.

If you couldn't get download mode to work/flash, why'd you install a CM7 based rom when it clearly states you need it to go back?

I got no luck with the drivers part but here is a thread where you can download a zip to root it. Hate to send someone outside of XDA but Root is Root.

Just reading through that thread though it seems that the Superuser.apk might be out of date. If so you can get the Update Fixer from the market. This actually worked for me when I updated Chainsdd SU.
Or you can go here too AndroidSU.com
Edit: On post 19 is says this, "but you can just download the drivers for the Exhibit (T659) and it will work with the Exhibit II as well"

You can download the zip over 3g/wifi and root it that way without ever plugging into your computer. At least then you will be rooted and problem#1 willbe solved.

How would i flash a zip with out cwm or being rooted? Googling drivers is the easiest way to get virus and spyware. I tried your links though i refuse to install a program that does a driver scan then tells me i have 22 errors and i have to pay to fix them. None the less thanks for helping.

You can flash an Update.zip through stock Recovery. If face I think it is call "Install Update.zip".
What you install or not is up to you. You asked and me and Big Dog both answered with links. If you don't want to use them that is fine. On your own. Good luck and let me know if you need anything else causeI am alwys willing to help.
How do i get to stock recovery? On my vibrant i had to flash bootloaders from odin. Which requires usb to labtop lol.
