[Q] Bricked Galaxy Player 5.8 ? - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

First of all, I am not sure that this is the right place to post, but I am new here so please move the topic if it is not the right place.
Secondly, English is not my native language so excuse any mistake I can make.
Thirdly, I am not an Android pro so I may use words for others, I hope you'll understand what I mean.
So, I was a bit stupid yesterday and followed a tutorial to root my Galaxy Player 5.8, tutorial that didn't apply to the Galaxy Player 5.8. Now, It is stuck on a screen showing a yellow triangle and an icon that surely means "connect the device to the PC". I can still use Odin. But What should I use Odin for ? Is there some working ROM or something somewhere that I can get on my device ? Even if that ROM is not rooted, I'd still like to be able to boot my Android instead of being stuck at that screen.
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help provided.
edit Nevermind, found what I wanted here: http://www.gsmkhmer.com/index.php?topic=8496.0 (remove spaces to get the link, I can't post links until 10 posts)
Now my Galaxy Player works like it used to work

How is it compared to the 5.0?

I can't really tell, I never owned a 5.0
In fact this device is my first Android device, so of course I am really amazed by everything it does, even more now that it is rooted
It is rather big but I was used to carry calculators in my pockets so it fits pretty well
The only downside of the big screen is that if you only have one hand available, your thumb can't get everywhere on the screen
Other than that it is great

In Korea, you can get them online for about $400.

Hi Hayleia, do you still have the firmware with you or have you deleted it already? The download at the link that you've provided seems to be down..

I am in France, there was a website called Export Privé (I don't think you are interested in any link if you are in America, and I don't know if I have enough posts to post links either so I won't try since it is easy to findd it on Google ) that exported those devices to France for approximately 340 €.

Yeah, that website is a bit weird, it was down right after I downloaded it, then was back, so maybe it was down when you checked but now it is back
To anwser the question, yes, I still have it (if my hard drive didn't fail while I was playing on my Android), but I don't know if
-I have enough posts to attach files
-It is legal here to attach it
Also, I have a new question now: How can I upgrade my Galaxy Player 5.8 to Android 4.2 ? I don't recall seeing any Cyanogenmod for this model

It is legal to attach it. But you can't because the file is too large. You can upload it somewhere like dropbox or google drive and post the link here with spaces in the link so all we have to do is get rid of the spaces.
As for 4.2, its probably the same story as every other galaxy player. Samsung doesnt want release it so we have to make it. Might have to do the same if you want it

So what is needed to make a custom rom with 4.2 ? Are the files I uploaded enough for someone to make it ?

Thank you so much! Sorry for all that trouble uploading into so many different parts! Initially I thought of sending you a PM with my email and then you could transfer the file to me via wetransfer.com or something if the link is still down. You're awesome!
By the way, the link is back up! Thanks again!

Lol, why awesome ? I just uploaded some file somewhere, I didn't even create it myself
Keep your "awesome" for the one who will transform those files into a 4.2 rom
I really hope this will happen

---

Yeah I hope so too..
A quick question, which version of odin did you use to flash the rooted ROM?

Its called install Linux and download the cm 10.1 source. Then modify for your device. I'm not gonna do it seeing as I have a 4.0

Well, the first two steps don't seem very hard.
But the "Then modify for your device" sounds tricky for me, except if you have a complete-noob-step-by-step tutorial

True but there are so much of them that it becomes hard to found the right one
More seriously, would this one (not on xda but still seems to answer my needs pretty well) be good ?
Also, will there not be difficulties from porting a rom for phones to a Galaxy Player which is not a phone ?

if you dont have a lot of knowledge on this, then i would not recommend doing this.
that guide will suffice though.
and yes it takes a lot of work
also who version of android are you running?

Indeed, I know nothing about computers and Android devices, I only interested myself to calculators until my parents accepted to buy me an Android
So yeah, I think I won't manage.
I am running Android 4.0.4, but I heard (or read) that 4.2 supports launching multi apps (don't know if that sentence makes sense, sorry, I am not a natvie English speaker) so I was very interested in that
