Galaxy Player 5.0 US unbrick w/ Ubuntu - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

I flashed cm10.1 and the gapps package. i found out I flashed the wrong package and i had to clear the system. I forgot to reflash cm10.1 after I cleared the system and now i get stuck on the galaxy s cyanogenmod screen. the button combo to get into recovery doesnt work. I can get into download mode but i cant get heimdall to work. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Try using zadig.exe to install the drivers for heimdall

lol.
no.
exe is for windows

Happened to me like you. Then look for the Odin 3.14 and a kernel and pass it. keep in mind that it is a risky process. another question, you still has the rom into your sdcard? because if you do not forget to pass, because when you pass the kernel by Odin on it goes straight to CWM

Can't unbrick u.s. 4.0 help please

Well... I've done it again... But this time I can't seem to unbrick it. I tried to flash hanthesolo's stratusrom but it failed and bootlooped. So I went and tried restore from a backup that had cm7. For some reason it bootlooped again. so I went in to Odin and tried to go back to stock just to get things working again. I failed and ended up going to stock recovery with a bunch of errors. So then I just panicked and tried flashing different combos of pit files and roms and stuff. Now I can boot into cwm. But I still can't restore from an older backup or revert to stock firmware. Any ideas???

I made instructions for the US device. Read them below in the thread. (it is normal that no .tar.md5 are here)
Drivers fail to install. I also can't open heimdall frontend exe. Some dll file is missing or something.

You will need Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributables. And put your device into download mode when your are installing the drivers.
I can't seem to find windows visual c++ 2010 for x32. And I did have my player in download mode when I installed the drivers.

Make sure you have your Drivers installed!
Download a rom compatible to your device.
Then connect your phone via USB to your PC.
Now go to Advanced-> Mount USB
If you have the correct Drivers it should detect your device and you can put the rom onto your phone.
Then You can flash it!

Did you try flashing something different?
I'm not familiar with that file, but from the name it looks like a stand-alone CWM recovery rather than a kernel. If that's the case, it wouldn't flash, and might damage your phone. Where did you get that? Is it a kernel for the I777 that is just named strangely? Or is it really a stand-alone CWM?

You're right, I didn't pay attention to the file name. Looks like a standalone recovery, I figured OP would've made sure it was what he needed.

Thnx for reply.I can't recall exact Webb site,but it was in several.The way it was discribed,it is a stand alone.
I finally got Odin to flash it.But!!I got recovery menu.When I tried to choose (power button) the Rom Manger icon comes on screen.Hit power button menu comes back.U can't reboot,power off or any other command.U have to pull battery.I thought with what I read,it was compatible w/rom.I guess I find another way for cw recovery.Thnx,rbb1robert

You need to flash a kernel from XDA only. The I777 has recovery built in the kernel.

The file he got was from the clockworkmod site. (Rom manager site) or another site that hosted that sites file.

ODIN does not detect phone

Hey all. Decided to go back to Froyo stock. When I try to ODIN in download mode, it doesnt detect the phone!
Code:
MacPro:~ nomadman$ heimdall detect
Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.
I'm no OS X Mountain Lion. I tried ODIN 1.7 in WinXP virtual machine and it doesnt detect it either. I know the USB cables work. I use it to transfer my backup from the vibrant to my OS X desktop. I also tried using all the USB ports on the machine. Do you think it's because the vibrant is using a jelly bean custom rom? I've been at this for 3 days without getting anywhere.
in OS X Mountain Lion and virtual XP, i installed Kies Mini and all I get is "please connect your mobile phone" in Download Modes.
HELP?
edit: resolved
Have you tried nexus S drivers? Sometimes they are needed when on a ICS or jellybean rom.

I have no come across nexus S requirements. But i'll download the driver from samsung and see if Odin and Kies detects the phone in download mode. There is no problem detecting the phone when it booted up. adb detects the phone fine.
the nexus s has the same driver for the t-mo vibrant. Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0
I installed that in windows several times.
Have you put the phone in download mode? Odin or Heimball wont detect it otherwise. Sorry if you have but you didn't mention it. Im not familiar with mac pc so not really sure, make sure it has admin privileges also.

Yes the phone is always on download mode every time I try to Odin or Heimball. It's just OSX or winXP doesn't recognize the phone at all. I really think I'm stuck without a downgrade option.
Is it possible to flash a zip file from ICS recovery to an earlier recovery so I can flash a froyo rom? This is really irritating.. Last ditch effort, i'm installing ubuntu on VM and see if I can odin that way. If not, then OS X is the issue and I have to find a PC to odin.

No, there are no stock flashable zip files. You can't go backwards, it will soft brick your phone. I have heard a few people say they have flashed from JB to Froyo but I personally have never tested it. Supposedly you can wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, then format system under mounts and storage, then flash a froyo kernel and then a froyo rom but I don't recommend trying that. I would try a windows pc, sounds like its the mac having issues, not the phone.

Can mobile Odin pro handle mj9 firmware flash yet?

I ask because my computer is fried and I so badly wanna use 4.3tw ROMs. Has anyone successfully flashed the firmware without any issues with WiFi, etc? I wanna give it a go but I like to look before I leap. I've had only one person here tell me they've successfully done it but I just wanna know if there is success with others.

What you see is what you get. I have no luck with any feedback. Looks like everyone used PC Odin.

I tried running JOdin on my mac, and it would not recognize my phone on download mode. Right now I'm installing Parallels to see if I can get it to work on windows, on my mac, eh.
update
A little update: So I finally managed to install windows on my mac, and after going through hell and back (Installing kies, etc), Odin finally noticed my phone while it was on download mode, flashing the firmware took like 10 seconds max, and my wifi was fixed.
I just finished flashing N3bula, and so far everything works.
So yea, definitely need Odin on windows to flash the firmware, JOdin wont work, neither will heimdall, nor Mobile Odin
