I'm using international model and tried to upgrade my deivce since most of the apps don't suport the old android version the device was using. So I tried flashing it with ODIN and after restart it lost the connection to ODIN, and now it happens every time I'm trying to re-flash it. Any ideas/help/solutions?
Thank you in advance. (Also I'm sorry if this doesn't belong here)
Hi,
A few things. Try another cable. Another USB port on computer. Another computer even if possible. Another Odin version maybe. It could be a bad download of the firmware file. And lastly, make sure you end any process of Kies running in your computer task manager.
If none of that helps, you need to ask for help here,

Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.

Hello all, I'm new to this forum, and new to Android. However I recently purchased the just released Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
I want to root the device, but so far am a bit leary to try anything since nothing specifically states the Player device.
In any case, info is here:
Model: YP-G70
Firmware Version: 2.3.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-G70UEKI8-CL566269 / [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UEKI8
Thanks.
I still have yet to see anyone report a successful root with the 2.3.5 firmware, unfortunately(I'm also looking/trying to pull it off, but no luck so far).
Thanks for the reply. Guess it's just wait and see then, eh?
I guess so.
I know it wouldn't take long for a dev to figure out how to root it, but they need to find out about this device first! No one seems to know it exists.
It's a shame, because it's a really nice machine. Samsung should put more resources on advertising about this product, it's way superior to an iPod Touch in many ways.

And we just got root!! There is another thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141893&page=4 that will explain how.
I also have noticed a minimum of bloatware - IMHO this is far superior to an Ifruit.

You should be able to use the Kies 2.0 software to reload the firmware. Not sure but I think this would work.
I have the same device as you and I rooted. it with superoneclick 2.2. Hope that helps!
Got Bricked
Need help! My Samsung Galaxy Player YP-G70, the Korean version hs only download mode on the screen everytime I plug it into the computer. I tried to update it to a gingerbread from a froyo using odin, but it got screwed up. Please help. Any tech god out there that could help me.
korean Samsung Galaxy
Hey everyone, I also have a Korean Samsung Galaxy YP-GB70 and I tried superoneclick (2.3.3) and easyroot. With superoneclick it starts off well enough but the program freezes at step 7 and is unresponsive, then I see 2 adb running in the task manager altough i dont know if this is normal. With easyroot, it runs and there are some lines that say something about not being able to copy superuser.apk and something about read only files, it reboots the galaxy player but when it restarts it's not rooted, all the drivers are installed (did it with kies) so I don't know what the problem is...help and thanks in advance
i cannot boot up after flashing the new room of (ics 4.0.4 6/1)
Just hangs at Google screen
the room is from this web of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672010&page=5
You need to use Odin or whatever that Samsung jazz is and reflash it. Sounds like you messed up somewhere. Next time post in the Rom thread or your own phone section. You'll get a better and faster response.
Do This

Bro, I had the exact same issue. What you need to do is go back to gingerbread using Kies. Once you have done that then you can root using Odin and then once you have root, stick the rom on your sd card and flash it through your phone. It is however important to note that while using Odin, make absolutely sure Kies is not running. Kies and Odin do not like each other at all and can cause devastating interactions. Just uninstall Kies before you use Odin and then restart your pc. Also, once you have your custom rom on you need to delete all the old drivers for your samsung usb. Then reboot your pc, download new samsung drivers, install them and reboot again. You should be good to go then. The drivers can come in a package with samsung kies, so unfortunately you need to reinstall kies again to get those drivers(Samsung USB Composite Device Drivers). Anyways bro, it is not that complicated once you manage to get the new rom on your phone and you will be glad you did it. I know I was, it took me a week but I finally did it. Hope that helps bro, good luck. And do not stress, our phones are really hard to brick once you get rid of samsung nonsense.

Moving to Q&A
Hi, I posted in "ask any question. Noob friendly" but no one helped me out. So I reconsider opening up a new threat here. I have two questions to ask.
1. Several days back, I noticed that when you reinstall Android OS (clean install or down/upgrade OS) using Odin software, the COM port's number in which the device is connected to Odin keep increasing, is there anyway to get it back/reset it to lower port? Example like COM3.
2. The other thing I noticed is.. When my galaxy tab 2 7.0 P3100 was rooted I might have deleted the official video and song. But when I reinstalled to official stock rom (P3100XXBLH2_P3100OLBBLH1_P3100XXLH2_HOME.tar.md5) using Odin, those 2 files are still not recovered. Is there any way to recover them?
Thanks..
Can anyone help me?
Let me first explain the thought process that went on before this all happened:
I wanted to stream my Spotify from Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100 to my smart TV via BubbleUPNP. But I couldn't do this for a number of reasons: my tablet wasn't a rooted device or running Android 4.1+ or had the Xposed framework. So I set to work trying to root my device and upgrade it to 4.1 in the process.
I used Odin to root my device and install the Xposed framework. This all went very smoothly and was impressed.
But the biggest error of all came when I tried to upgrade my Android version by Odin to about 4.1
+.
I managed to get what I thought was the correct ".tar" file. But part way through I was faced with an error message saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" so I tried using Samsungs own "Kies" to recover my device. But I soon found out this would be no help because "gt-p5100 does not support initializing." so this application was useless. I then done a bit more digging around on the internet and found out that I can simply restore my device with the correct file on Odin again.
I don't quite know exactly what happened next but I'm presuming I made a ridiculously stupid error and downloaded and loaded the wrong file onto my device. My device now thinks it's a 7" "GT-P3100."
With the tablet being completely useless because the touch screen no longer works because of the confusion between the models and I cannot find the correct files to load onto Odin for it to work either, mainly because I've given up on things to even search.
I am asking this because I've tried for hours with no luck and need help restoring my tablet back to a "GT-5100" so I can then root it on Odin and upgrade the OS to 4.1+.
Please also note I could not simply upgrade my OS by going into setting/about device/etc.
I can see how this stupidity can being funny to others but my simple accident has cost me dearly and I would appreciate some help from other.
Thanks,
Mike.
Hi,
Normally flashing firmware from another device that's not yours is a brick, especially with Samsung.... But hopefully because it's another tab 2 firmware, you can fix yours. But definitely exercise caution in the future.
The place most are getting Samsung firmware, especially older models is sammobile website.
Other than that, any links I found on XDA for it are dead.
You obviously know how to flash with Odin, so try sammobile and find your correct firmware.
If you have further issues, you should ask for help in your device section, here,
> Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 > Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Okay I was worried it could be bricked, but if I managed to get an error message on an install to then be able to simply change the model with the wrong file, I hoped I could almost mess up an install to get back to that stage to then be able to completely re-install my original correct files.
Thank you I will try Sammobile. I think that might've even been where I got the wrong file from in the first place.
Thanks a lot for your reply it fills me with hope knowing there might be a way to rectify my mistake.
Please help
Hi! I own a Galaxy S3 I9300 1GB RAM, 64GB which I've rooted, changed its ODIN and installed this ROM and now I'm very sorry I've done that. I ask you to help me, telling how can I install back the stock ROM, which is this one.
I'm not experienced in stuff like this at all; when I first changed it to 4.3.0 from 4.1.2, I've installed another recovery mode (like Safe Mode in Windows) called TeamWinRecovery, from where I installed afterwards the 4.3.0 ROM; now, to install that 4.1.2 again I have to change it back to the stock 'Safe Mode', and this is where I'm stuck. I followed all the steps to install the ODIN shown here but it doesn't work. PLEASE HELP ME!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. First. Odin can be finicky. Make sure you use the usb ports in the back of your PC and try different cables. See this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lete-basic-t1931790/post32664054#post32664054 It's written by the experts on your device.
