SGP 5.0 International Version Bricked - Please help - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Please friends, help!
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 (with phisycal home button) bricked.
I accidentally flashed the rom to SGS-I9000B to the SGP 5.0 so it got bricked.
It's status is: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.
After weeks of exaustive researche, the only way I was able to enter in download mode was using the Adam's Outler procedure: Instaling Linux (Ubuntu along W7), Java, Oracle Virtual Box, a XP version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40.
Well, using this procedure SGP 5.0 enters in downloading mode and when I use the PIT file and BootloadersOnly provided by Adam the result in Odin is PASS! Despite that SGP doesn't reboot and keeps the same way: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.
So I enter in download mode using Unbrickable Resurrector R40 again and try to flash several SGP 5.0 YP-G70 Intl ROMs: Stock Froyo, Stock Ginger Bread and some Customs ROMs most of them PASS in the Odin result BUT SGP 5.0 never reboots or turn on after the procedure.
I have a doubt of marking or not Re-partition in Odin, but the procedure just works if I mark it.
I feel I was close to resurrect it and make it work again but all I've got is frustration.
I'm not an expert as the major of you so I beg some enlightned soul show me the way to make it works: step by step and share with me the right files I have to use to make it works.
I also tryied the same procedure using Odin 1.3, 1.7, 1.83 version. All the same result.
It seems like I miss something. I also tried several procedures I found in other threads none worked for me.
I also have installed Heimdall but I was not able to find the appropriate files to use it and SGP 5.0 can not have the batery removed. Someone wrote Adam has developed a tool for SGP full recovery but I didnt find it.
Please, folks, help me and I will share the solution with other people in the same situation.
Thanks and best regards.

Wanted you to know I saw your post but got a full plate today... If you can get to download mode we should be able to get you fixed up... just give me some time...

Ok, So I've been reading your post and it seems like you've been diligent in looking for fixes. I don't understand this:
"Instaling Linux (Ubuntu along W7), Java, Oracle Virtual Box, a XP version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40."
Does that mean that installed Ubuntu "natively" or in Virtual box? or have tried both?

Hi. I'm in the same situation. Flashed the Player 4 rom and I've got a black box now. I've just been chilling for a few weeks, tired of flashing it and failing, so I'm glad to see somebody else is working on this too.
I hope one of us has some luck soon.

Hi, Meticulus.
I've installed Ubuntu so I can run the Unbrickable Ressurector under Ubuntu, then I run a Widows XP version with a VBOX under Ubuntu too to run Odin.
The farest I could go is to make it get into forced Download mode using Resurrector, but It wont turn on after passing in Odin.
Really need your help.
Thanks in advance.

OK, once you use the un-brickable resurector to get to download mode (don't reboot or anything), you need to flash a rom with boot loaders such as this one: http://www.4shared.com/zip/vxHoJ8E0/G70JKKE3_STOK_222RU_.html
If your partition tables are messed up, it may not boot but you should be able to get back to download mode without the resurector.... Hold power and volume down to try...
Give that a try let me know how it goes...

the reason for your spg not booting is cause your flashing the incorrect stuff onto it. idealy you want to flash a stock rom that works then CWM onto it so it doesn't happen in the future as your then flash the rest from there. ill get your my tablets stocks...

This is obviously a java error. Personally I've never run the unbrickable resurector on anything but Ubuntu. I would suggest that you create a bootable thumbdrive with Ubuntu...

UnBrickable Java errors

Yes, Java looks like the culprit. So I've tried Ubuntu from a live dvd and got Java errors there too.
Then I tried permutations of (jdk07u40, jdk-6u25, and jdk-6u16) with Unbrickable (R36, R37, R38 and R40) on my Slackware 14 machine. They all gave the same error message. Googling that error message gives many millions of results, all highly specialized Java discussions which I don't understand.
The only positive at this point is that UnbrickableResurrector does see the device and starts the process. Then Java dies.
So I'm looking for another angle. I will try Ubuntu again; I've freed up a small partition and I'll install it there. I'm wondering if I need an older version of Java, to match the era when these devices were current. Maybe Resurrector isn't compatible with newer Java jdk??
Any other ideas?

Hmm... Lets start with why your using the resurrector in the first place...
What condition is your player in right now?
NOTE: I haven't used the resurrector in at least a year so...
EDIT: Almost forgot: At what point do you receive this error? When the app is starting up? After some action?
EDIT2: Here is the source code line for your error. http://code.google.com/p/hummingbir...com/AdamOutler/LowLevelUnBrick/Shell.java#191

Right, thanks partner.
That's the one I unziped to reach the tar file.
Now Odin is not recognizing the device after running Unbrickable Resurrector and getting SGP into donwloading mode.
I tried to reinstall Samsung drivers using Zadig and it still doesnt recognizes SGP
Any ideas?

Zadig? What is that? Just use the device manager check for missing and non working drivers, you know, typical windows driver troubleshooting....

Zadig is a driver application wich comes along Heimdall
Every time we talk consider to recieve a thank you, even when I forget to write. It's how I feel. I really appreciate to have a partner to dialogue and help to acomplish this mission to bring back SGP to life.
Thanks

Don't use Heimdall, After you get the player into download mode. Take it to Windows and use Odin! If you are using Heimdall for Windows then uninstall it. Then reinstall windows drivers from Samsung or install Kies... Then use Odin.

Hello out there. I'm back with good news, kinda. I'm now in the position of the original poster. I have a totally dead un-responsive do-nothing black box, BUT I am able to use the Resurrector and then Odin and I can successfully flash a pit, a bootloader and a rom. But then the Galaxy does not reboot.
This still feels like progress, since I couldn't even use the Resurrector a few days ago. I finally had to install Ubuntu Desktop on my machine. The Resurrector wouldn't run from Slackware or even from a Ubuntu live DVD.
So it looks like the sticking point for both the OP and I is the reboot.
Any further ideas are welcomed. Thanks for your interest.

Well, I did exactly what you said and did it using the same Odin version 1.81 and I got surprised when I saw Samsung Logo aparing but it got stocked on this screen for several minutes so I decided to unplug the USB cable and try to turn if off and on again. It still got stucked into the screen with Samsung logo and after about 5 minutes it turned off and will not turns on.
What to do know?
I think it might be to got out of battery but dont know what do next.
Remebering that my SGP is International version with Physical Home button.
Wait for guidance to next steps
Thanks a

I charged the battery for a while and was able to get it into download mode. I'm very happy with that but would like to know the exact steps I have to follow to bring it back to life now cause I really dont want to loose it again.
Thank you
