{5.0 US] Stock Boot Animation - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Well since I am having troubles getting my device recognized in download mode I can not install stock firmware on it. Since best buy employees never know whats going on I can still return the device and trade it in. Only problem is I need the stock boot animation so when they turn it on it still looks legit from there.
Does anyone have the default boot animation by chance randomly? lol

Delete /system/media/bootanimation.zip, that will remove the custom one and stock will return. Also, please specify model and country, and im sure someone could help you repair it

[BETA] STeVEs Kernel 2.1 with CWM for galaxy player 4.0 EU

Hi all,
I managed to port CWM to Galaxy player 4.0 (EU version - not for usa or KR). But I want your feedback to check if all works as it should.
Whats included:
-Voodoo Sound v10 (you need to install Voodoo Control or Voodoo Control Plus)
-CWM recovery 3.0.0.5 (with working su adb shell, usb mount storage, flash updates zip,...)
-Works on XXKPN or XXKPQ roms (or alternatively my custom rom)
-ROM Manager app is not supported: only reboot to recovery function works: don't try to update recovery from rom manager or to flash a rom from rom manager app
Here's the download link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9TXANJ6S
Please post your experiences (positive and negative) to help development. Thanks!
omg thank you....i have been waiting for CWM for a really long time.....i will give it a try...report to you later
Steve how is clockwork working on the 4 but not the 5. i dont see how its possible that they are even 1 tiny bit different aside from screen size.
have you tested CWM on the 5.0 and know that it does not work?
i would love to know your method for making it work on the 4.

They are maybe a little bit different on the hardware but on the software they are different. (very different.)

i have read that here, but not sure exactly how.
odd how Sammy made them so software different.
but i guess 2 galaxy 1 devices are not the same, but then again those are carrier specific also.
grrr damn it i want CWM on the 5.0

I have tried the kernel (not the new version) CWM work nicely (I was able to do a backup of my rom )
Clockwork worked fine but I did not know which device to select so I chose the I9000 and now the widgets and apps are messed up. Widgets do not show up, the apps "cannot be found" and the apps were shown with a box with the android in it. Luckily I was able to flash back to my stock ROM with no problems, but end up in losing my data -_-.

Any fix?

I haven't tested on the 5 because I down't have it and sorry but I don't develop kernels for devices I don't own... it will result in bricking your device instead of mine...
I don't think it will difficult anyways... For the 4.0 I used a version of CWM for stiock SGS i9000 as the devices partition and structure is exactly the same.

Obviously ROM manager is not supported apart from the reboot to recovery function. You flashed a i9000 rom on a different device, you are lucky you not bricked your device
Voodoo Control
Ok guys, i succeed to flashing my yp-g1 to this Kernel after flashing the ROM from STeVe from another thread in this forum. I think this rom and kernel work nice enough and my quadrant score is 1420 - 1524, even 1600++, if i run quadrant twice sequentially. Not bad improvement because my quadrant score before about 1408 (2.3.5 Gingerbread).
everything works : Wifi, Camera, FM Radio, Bluetooth, GPS, Voodoo Control (i install this my self), Animation, etc
Notification Area is not clean enough since STeVe write "STeVe's Galaxy Player" on this area.. after i see that, i feel that my yp-g1 is not mine, because there is your name (seriously, literally).
Overall : Nice Job STeVe .... Since it's the first and the only one Custom Rom for Galaxy S WIFI 4.0 until now.
Thank you.

Hello steve, I just wanted to let you know that I tried to flash the kernel on the us version and the only thing not working is the home button obviously. I'm LOVING voodoo sound, the sound is crystal clear now and the hiss basically disappeared!! so first of all thank you,second I was wondering if you could help me understand what to do to use your code while using the driver for the us version buttons...if that's what it is... I'm sorry I have zero knowledge about kernels but I know my way around basic linux(i manage web servers) ..it just seems pretty easy to me unexpert eyes to make it work if its just the buttons. Or if you want to do it I'll be glad to test it for you since I can reflash the stock rom so no bricking risks!

I just would like to know how many different editions are there for the 7510 because as far as I know, a change in bootloader shouldn't affect the use/flash of CWM. This isn't Apple.

I thought all models of the 7510 were WiFi only. Thus the difference between 7500 (Wifi + Mobile carrier) and 7510 (WiFi + No Mobile carrier)
I could be completely wrong in my thinking. So please tell me if I am. Also if I'm wrong could you point me where I can see a 7510 with a mobile carrier? Please don't say Google, I don't care enough to go searching for something I don't think exists. I guess I would search if you give me what keywords are going to yield results.

You lost me at "should I use the same command prompt"
Then again at "Fastboot flash OEM unlock"
My only advice that could be relevant is to goto the sticky in development section and follow or at least read s0ckm0nkeys guide to rooting and see if you can get where you want using or reading it.
Like I said, I'm lost so my suggestion is only a guess about what might already be posted about doing what you want/need.
Hopefully this will help, but keep us updated.
Edit: just realized I haven't re-read the whole thread so I will and if I notice anything that gets gets me UN-lost, I'll come back and post more.
Edit2: so this page is the whole post LOL so yes I'm still lost and the above suggestion of checking the sticky guide is all I can offer.

Well this is my 2 cent's WiFi or not some models come carrier locked, Verzion probably sells the WiFi and 3G model's but I'm in the dark on their product sales, They probably lock it for certain reasons, I don't really know the details.
I have a 3G 64GB 7500 and yeah it came with a locked bootloader, but as far as I know flashing a CWM should take care of that problem. Because after flashing CWM I didn't see the locked logo anymore.

Guess it's possible. Carriers do some strange things. Why they would even offer a wifi only version, besides profit from the initial sale, is beyond me. Still being wifi only, I can't see how it could be "tied" to any carrier. Even if sold by one. I mean it's wifi only, how could they "tie" it to themselves besides labeling it Verizon or whatever? I guess if you're contracted to their wifi access it could be tied to their wifi access points. Like I said they do some pretty strange things. But still it would be easily "un-tied".
From everything I have ever read or seen the 7510 is wifi only not carrier related at all and I've never read or seen a 7100 that's not sold by or "tied" to a carrier of some type. Therefore my thinking of the 7500 & 7510 difference.
Don't they both basically come with a "locked" bootloader anyway and flashing cwm unlocks them? Never seeing or hearing of the lock logo on a 7510 though.
Maybe this is where I get lost again with different terms used actually meaning the same thing or something other than what I think it means. Such as, I think wifi only means just that, wifi only, and that is what makes it a 7510 and not a 7500. If that's not the difference I wish someone would tell or show me so I could quit showing my ignorance.
I was being sincere and not trying to sound rude asking for someone to point me to somewhere that actually corrects my thinking if I'm wrong here. Because I've never seen it and am too lazy and/or stuck in my thinking to "try" to prove myself wrong.
Once again, its way past my bedtime, I'm laying here in bed trying to figure out what in actually trying to say. Probaly talking out my arse again.

As far as I know AT&T has the same with the new Sony NGP or Vita as they all it , probably because the carrier has some unlimited monthly data plan or something that can be shared of as a personal hotspot, I don't know really, one of the many marketing strategies. Could sell the Wifi version cheaper with some sort of portable internet router on a plan. The company SMART here does that, they sell you this tiny little pocket router with a 3G sim in it and there was an offer for the iPad non WiFI included.
And it's all good mate It's still very informative stuff, I haven't touched or kissed US soil in order to know what goes on with their carrier plans, I admire the fact you being updated, for someone in his prime >:]
And yeah, I think/assume it does unlock it because my tablet no longer shows the locked logo when booting it to fastboot
I there, I just flashed the stock ROM for the 3.2 Android version on my 7500 using Odin and my carrier logo was replaced by the Samsung logo. My Tab is still locked to my carrier because I decided not to unlock it yet - didnt find a cheapper carrier anyways
So simply by flashing a stock rom of a newer android version I was able to replace my carrier boot logo for the samsung one... Is this what you want?

Hi all,
I read a lot of stuff about locked bootloader and scary stories of bricked tab.
I saw the great videos from qbking about rooting and flash about odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462961)
but it never mentionned locked bootloader.
I bought a retail 10.1 tab without any carrier stuff but I assume that my BL is also locked.
Is it safe to follow the root and flash process without unlocking its BL ?
Regards.

I flashed an entire new version of Android (3.2) with Odin and found no problems. Another thing, I have my Tab since November and only last week unlock it from carrier... just for fun!
Thanks viarizi !
Did you unlock your tab before flashing your 3.2 image ?
Regards.
Actualy I unlocked it from carrier 3 weeks after flashing new droid version.
First I unrooted it, then flashed new droid version with Odin, finaly unlock it from carrier using a regular Samsung phone unlocker software (unfortunely I dont know which one just that it had roms for almost all Samsung phones).
Can someone please explain if the bootloader is locked or not (if you don't see the unlocked padlock)? I don't get how we can manipulate the kernel if they're locked... Are they (kernels) getting replaced, or is something else happening to them when I flash a ROM (ie. pershoot's CM9)? Also, is there a method to unlock the GT-P7510 bootloader if it is locked? Would fastboot work?
Sorry for confusing you, I've just read so many different things about the bootloader I'm lost now!
I just rooted a SGH-T959 phone with superoneclick,sucess,Can this "one click root" apply to galaxy tabs? all of the eventually?? Like revoulutionary to the 10.1 tabs?? I know,I sound lazy...

SWH M440S VS i9300

Hello so i got my S3 today, it's the 3G korean version SWH M440S.
Will rooting and those custom firmwares that was made for i9300 work?
Also, the phone came with a lot of random unneeded apps, how do i put on a fresh un modified FW from Samsung on my korean version?
Also, S Voice is in korean even when i set the language to English, how do i change it to english?
Thanks

Not sure about rooting and fw, for s-voice you have to enter the S-voice settings to change the language. Just hit menu when in Svoice.. you'll have to guess since it's in another language which to pick. lol.
Is that model you got the one with the quad and 2gb of ram? Are you using it in CA? if so what carrier and does it work fully? and last question.. where did you get it and how much? lol
The "SHW-M440S" is a Exynos 4 quad with 1gig of ram as far as I can tell.
I wouldnt flash anything meant for the i9300 (International version), take a look in this thread for more info on this device and other stuff
Well it's identical in terms of hardware to the i9300.
I want to get rid of all the things that this korean telecom company had preinstalled on the phone and have a clean phone.
Have anyone tried using any i9300 mods with the korean 3g S3

You get whatever firmware is for your phone as provided by the phone vendor . You do not get a base Android .

In the thread somebody linked above there are instructions on rooting the phone, there also is pre-rooted stock Rom and one custom Rom called prestige. Your best bet is to get rooted and use titanium to remove all the bloat ware. The few international Roms and mods I have tried have not worked but let me know if find one that does!

Head over to the Korean phone page here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749214), root your phone, use titanium to freeze or uninstall all those unwanted apps!
On another note found this on Korean dev site. Seems this guy is running the Siyah kernel with CM10 on his M440s
Edit: He posted his Siyah kernel and via translation seems you could use CM9/10 with it. Gonna get the mrs to make sure google translate is correct before trying. You can easily sign up at that site to access the files.

So, how do I proceed to debrand (remove sk telecom rom and get a stock debranded rom?
Ive only seen i9300 ones. Can I use i9300 stock rom on shw m440s as I use this phone in canada
As of right now you have two options that i know of. 1) root the phone and manually remove bloatware. 2) use a custom Rom (cm9/10/etc) with a custom kernel.
If you can't read Korean, can't figure out how to access sites for custom kernels PM me with email address and I'll email you the modified cm9/cm10/franco kernels I have found for our phone then you can test out which works best for you.
Sent from my SHW-M440S using xda app-developers app
Hello I'm a Korean user
for custom ROMs, you have to flash a 'kernel converter' of a custom kernel for the shw-m440s after flashing the ROM for the firmware to work. sometimes, touchwiz based ROMs have problems with communication and photography but aosp based ROMs and CM based ROMs have worked perfectly so far. recovery you can flash the same one with the i9300 and have no problem. For rooting you have to have a visit to this thread
So I have a S3 and I am totally not sure if its the original I9300 or SHW M440S... I have flashed stock I9300 4.3 firmware and the result was a laggy firmware and my phone kept rebooting. I wasnt the first to own this phone, my uncle did and he said he just flashed the old i9300 4.3 firmware and the problem has occured which is a broken camera (cant connect to camera), not working speakers and headphone jack and mic...
Normally I would just get it fixed but.. Because of the broken cam, speakers and mic, my youtube or any online streaming videos does not load and mp3 musics dont play as the player apps force close when i press play...
Again, a broken hardware does not affect the software so I am not sure if it is really the hardware or I just flashed the wrong firmware on the wrong phone.
Has anyone ever tried to flash a I9300 4.3 official firmware on a S3 SHW M440S?
Did you get the same result as I did?
Do you recommend me to flash a SHW M440S firmware on my s3 just to check? Will it not brick my phone?
Please help me out..
Thanks and God Bless
You can't flash i9300 rom on a M440S without it being converted, or installing a kernel made for the m440s afterwards or using a kernel converter after the rom.

[Q] just question

why we can't flash galaxy S4 software on Galaxy S3? I mean the official rom , and why the odin refuses the rom when I try to flash it? I know because the software is working only on S4 because the hardware like installing apple mac on PC but is their any way to make odin pass the software to S3?
I think that there's no way you can flash gs4 rom on gs3...you can only brick your phone like that.
Why don't you just root your phone and flash any custom gs4 like rom?

Glamour S4 rom developer ported all the S4 smart features in his rom but nothing working yet and he said all that features will work in another fix , so why till now the S4 features don't work on S3?
That will never work because they are 2 different devices. It will lead to an expensive paperweight. Some features will come to the S3 in future updates. Some will not for two reasons. The S3s hardware doesn't support the feature (ex. Temperature sensors) or because Samsung is beginning to move on from the S3

For the same reason you cant flash the HTC one os on your s3. Its a different device with different hardware, ergo different drivers.
If they kept the same hardware, it wouldn't be an upgrade

I want to get this phone so bad, but having to deal with fail touchwiz will make me sick... I want a proper slim rom on it

Nothing yet brother. We are all waiting for some Devs to get interested in this phone so we can do the Root, Rom, Recovery thing! Samsung screwed it up by making it exclusive to ATT when the popularity could of gone higher if it were in more wireless companies! Thanx Samsung! Just give it time. The phone just came out and hopefully a Dev will jump on this phone soon!
I will soon buy this phone!!! In greece is unlocked to any carrier and almost every shop sells it...i hope they change the AT&T thing fast!!
I have bought this phone with the hope that cyanogenmod arrives on this device. Maybe the problem that blocks the interest of developers is the chipset exynos 5430...

But who cares about knox? It's just some useless "feature" that makes no sense (booting on a different OS to keep your data "secure" wtf is that bs about really...) and warranty void is nothing to be afraid of, if u have a perfectly functioning device you won't need the warranty... just want a fking custom rom to get rid of bloatware-touchwiz and make it all black and awesome ...screw knox!
I make contact with edenmony,m8 who like to make rom for us
this is his answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56209236&postcount=23
we must try to find help if we wont ROM recovery come to us
I also try contact with Note4 m8,who develop Recoveryfor exynos model
but still dont get reply
What happened to the threads in the developer sections?
there no development thread at all m8,only chit chat
Correct. There were a couple in there but they were deleted. Just wondering why. I understand no actual ROM's are available but there were discussions.
AFAIK they were moved under "General". It was just "Join Forces" and "Root Galaxy Alpha" threads. I don't remember that there were any other threads.

But can't we flash it with Clockwork ROM Manager app ?
We already have the root available and we can then install the ROM Manager.apk and flash a rom with that ... I think/hope.

guys ..i will make a recovery for you all ... please provide me the boot.img , recovery.img and build.prop .... as soon as possible
Decided not to buy one anymore, not worth it since I will just be getting annoyed at Samsung's TouchWiz... Will recheck forum in 1month or so near Black Friday and see if there's anything new.
Till then, I wish you gl, it's a great phone (perfect form factor) but the OS on it is utter fail and I wouldn't last a day, would be switching to my S2 with SlimSaber ROM in a glimpse
