Good evening friends, dev and other community members, recently my galaxy player connect to computer for music happen all good so far, when I go back to check if I end up spending the entire music encounter the following message on the screen of the Galaxy Player "Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Do not let me enter recovery mode and when I can go to download mode and give the up volume key returns to the same screen, besides the samsung kies does not recognize it, I should clarify that this model only has physical volume buttons and power.
It would be helpful and useful if anyone knows how to fix this error.
Thanks in advance :good:
Well, I don't see how this is development for one. But concerning your problem, it sounds odd. Are you saying that it won't even let you enter download mode? Does your player even boot, or is it bricked? Have you tried to see if you can enter recovery mode?

I know and I apologize I think is not the right section for this question.
When trying to enter download mode goes indeed to ask you to continue pressing the volume up again the same screen, I can not enter recovery mode falls on the same screen and not a brick if the galaxy player.
I let you capture the screen, please respond and apologize to the trouble my friend.:good:

Hmm, that's interesting. It almost looks like a brick screen. Have you tried seeing if Odin recognizes the device?

Help please...
I am having the EXACT same problem. Except when I try to use Close PC Screen using Heimdall, even with device detected, I get this error:
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
I have reinstalled the drivers numerous times. Also, the same download mode problem. When I press continue to use ODIN download mode, it goes right back to the firmware upgrade error screen. Odin does recognize it while it is on the the firmware upgrade error screen, but it fails when trying to flash a ROM.
Thanks for the help.

Ik this is kind of a late answer, but odin should be able to reflash the device, and if not, try rebooting the computer to see if you can get it to work again. That's how i got mine to turn on..But the dang touchscreen still doesn't work
Major Problem
Hi guys. I notice it has been a while since anyone posted anything in this thread, but today I encountered a serious problem. My Galaxy Player is stuck in the same position as the one mentioned in this thread, but I reached it in a different way. I was trying to flash the rooted ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741 : I have the US Version) using odin, and I followed all the steps. While doing it, Odin said it had failed, then I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen on my player. I can't enter download mode and my computer doesn't recognize it. The few times it does, it just says "Connecting.." in Kies and won't go past that. I've looked everywhere and couldn't find anything that works. Is there anything I can do? I feel like its just a soft brick but I really don't know. Please help.
I randomly get this while using heimdall to flash the cwm kernel. I just flash again until it works. The firmware error is the same as Odin download mode as far as I can tell.

Introduction
Hey guys.. I came up with a partial recovery method for black screen bricks. It's not a full recovery yet as the device won't get past booting the kernel. However, this is a matter of obtaining the proper firmware... So, until a better firmware is obtained the next best thing is to at least get the device into Download Mode.
Generally Hard bricks occur when the improper firmware is flashed on a device. When the wrong bootloaders are loaded, the device attempts to boot and fails. Instead of hanging, sometimes the device will enter a "Lucky Brick" state. These lucky bricks are very common on Galaxy Player.
The Galaxy Player tends to failover into a safe mode which we call UnBrickable Mod. This safe mode can only effectively be used in Linux because of a lack of decent windows drivers and a lack of any real development for Mac outside of Apple Corp .
Heimdall has not yet been upgraded to handle the Galaxy Player so a virtual machine is required for this procedure.
You Will Need:
Linux installed on a computer: http://ubuntu.com/download
The UnBrickable Resurrector Revision36 or higher installed in Linux
Oracle Virtualbox installed on linux: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
Your OWN copy of Windows installed in Virtualbox
Samsung drivers installed on Virtual Windows Machine
The GalaxyPlayer-Bootloader.zip downloaded into Windows
Instructions
First plug your Galaxy Player into the computer.
Launch the UnBrickable Resurector R36 and observe the following image. If the device does not detect, hold the power and home button for 10 seconds to make the device reboot.

Note: if you cannot get this screen, stop. You will not be able to continue. You've given it a shot and there are no other known methods which will currently work
Select S5PC111 from the Device Type Dropdown List. Then click the "Download Mode" Button. Your device should be detected as the picture in the following displays. If your device is not detected, try again and ensure you have the proper Resurrector selected
Unzip the GalaxyPlayer-Bootloaders.zip to the Desktop folder in your Windows VM
Launch Odin3 in the Windows VM
Set the PIT option as "GalaxyPlayerPart.pit" Set the "Bootloader" option to GalaxyPLayerDownloadModeOnly.tar
In the menu bar on your Windows VM, in Linux, select Devices>USB Devices>SAMSUNG Gadget Serial to attach the device to Windows.
Note: you should see the device connected and a "COM" assigned in Odin after the device has installed properly
Click "Start" on Odin3. Note: If this fails, you will need to reinstall Samsung Drivers.
This is where this guide ends. I have tried several firmwares but none have been effective at recovering the Galaxy Player...
Conclusion
Your device is now in Download Mode.. If anyone can help in locating a /data/ partition(Not dbdata), I could sterilizeit of your information and it would be helpful. If anyone can post up an EFS partition, I could remove the information from that and force it into a default...
Basically, I need a full dd dump of every single partition on the device in order to finish this resurrection DIY.
Hi AdamOutler:
You can find that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19840746&postcount=420
That's a full dump of /dev/block/mmcblk0

That's my question, lol.
On wednesday I can upload the dd dumps of every partition so they can be flashable via odin.
I've 'dd'ed that image to a sdcard. Checked partition table and it seems ok. So the only think needed is to dump the right partitions. Right now, I'm busy with exams, so I can't before.

Ok so I have an issue that is between the hard brick and the lucky brick I think.
My Galaxy is stuck in Android Stock Recovery (My soft keys are not working) and I have attempted to get the Resurrector to work on my device, but it seems like it won't see my player correctly for me to bring it back.
If you know any kind of fix for this I would really appreciate it, my Wife is ready to kill me...
Adam, I have Ubuntu and the virtual machine setup and working. I just cannot get Ubuntu to allow me to open the resurector file as an executable, any idea why and how I can fix that issue, it tries to open it as a archived compressed file. I have the black screen and badly need to revive my Player.
Update: After searching on google I finally got Ubuntu to execute the resurrector file and I revived my player and have Froyo 2.2.2 running on it now, but the capacitive buttons do not work. I will dowload the soft button app to fix the buttons till someone finds a solution for the dead buttons which was caused on my player by the Korean 2.3.6 firmware leak that I flashed yesterday and caused all my problems. After searching some more I found the files I needed to get my capacitive buttons working again on the samfirmware.com web site, so now I have restored my player to the original working state.
Adam, you are a life saver, Thank You very much for the excellent recovery guide!!!!
Everyone on the forum, have a Happy New Year!!!!!!

I'm still unable to fully unbrick my device (YPGB70) even with all the proper files, it still just hangs at the logo, I can get into download mode just fine though. The only files missing from Samsungs official rom they released are efs.rfs, userfs_16G.rfs, inand_16G.bin these are the only file listed on the pit but aren't in the rom file. Are the userfs and inand crucial file and if so can I use files from the international or US models and do they have to be the same 16G size?

What I did once I got it to the download mode using Adam's guide, then I downloaded the 2.2.2 froyo rom for the player found at www.samfirmware.com and flashed it using odin that got the player working but the capacitive key would still not work, so then I put the player back into download mode and downloaded and flashed the rom from Maticulus found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450013 using odin again and this got the player working like new again including the capacitive keys.
Good Luck!!!

I have a samsung galaxy player 5.0 and I try to unbricked by fallowing your tutorial and it detect my device it said:"S5PC110 DETECTED !" and when I hit Perform Resurrection and said:"Failed to write 1310730 bytes" I try using the "Galaxy Player S5PC111 and it didn't work" then I try to use "S5PC110 GALAXY S" then I try "S5PC110 GALAXY S" " and it didn't work Please Help
My Model is a YP-G70CWY/XAA galaxy player 5.0
Pictures of the problem that I am having when trying to unbrick
boot into ubuntu. don't use a VM. Mac is a hit-and-miss platform for Samsung devices.
Due to the upcoming ICS samsung release and the tons of threads "HOW DO I GO BACK TO STOCK" I decided to put all the info together so everyone will be able to easily go back to stock and receive the so expected OTA/KIES ICS update
1.- With the device off, press power + volume down
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
until the tablet turns on into bootloader and move to downloading icon with volume down key... Once you are in downloading press volume up and you will be in Odin mode.
you gotta press volume up again to accept the warning and go Odin mode.
2.-download samsung Kies here and install to get the drivers. (skip if you already have Kies with working drivers)
3.-download samsung stock rom here search for P7500/P7510 (P7500 for 3G and P7510 for wifi only) and get a rom according to your country/region once downloaded unzip it
4.-get Odin here
5.- MAKE SURE KIES IS NOT RUNNING AND IF IT'S RUNNING CLOSE IT then connect your tablet to pc (check if your usb wire its good and use one of the backside motherboard usb ports) , open Odin and Press PDA, in PDA put the unziped file you downloaded from sammobile, then Press start (do not change any Odin's options from the check boxes).
6.-wait until process finish and then you are back to stock close Odin and by this time the tablet should be rebooting
Enjoy your OTA

When my SGT is ON and connected to PC , the PC sees it as internal storage. However when I go to recovery-downloading mode and start ODIN, ODIN doesn't detect it.

its supposed to show you the storage in Android, close Kies and reboot into odin mode following steps 1 and 2 in the guide then open Odin and connect the tab follow the guide hehe

You don't need to be already rooted to run this process? Using Odin to install a stock formware on top of an already no-rooted stock firmware will be fine yeah?

Your earlier thread says ODIN isn't detecting the tablet, rather than Kies. Kies is a POS. It doesn't detect my tablet either.
msedek is right here. All you really need are the drivers. if they are installed I would say just uninstall Kies temporarily (but DON'T uninstall the USB driver). Make sure USB debugging is on, reboot into download mode as per instructions and plug into the PC. Odin should pick you up no problem.
THAT SAID, I have my own silly questions as well:
(1) Is there any need to also flash stock recovery when you do it this way or is that only required if you go back to stock via a Nandroid backup?
(2) Would you not also need to do a full wipe with stock recovery before you're OK to receive an OTA?

When you flash a stock rom your tablet becomes full stock and you don't need to wipe to receive otas, otas are non wipe
On a side note you can use this method to go straight to ics with the ics official rom

Thanks! Appreciate it
So I followed your steps and now my tablet just boot loops. I first tried this using the new ICS update from sammobile. When I did that, my tablet just stayed at the SAMSUNG screen. When I went back one update, it now just boot loops. Any idea what could cause this?
Sounds like you need to do a full wipe. Read the other guides available online...they will tell you that if your system hangs or loops after flashing stock firmware, it basically means the system wasn't able to retain your data. Boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset...that should make things right as rain. Let us know if it worked out!
@OP...if this isn't part of the steps on the first post can we add it? Thanks!
You say "go to samfirmware"...OK,I went there,for stock 3.1,it fu**ed my tab since the bootloader was corrupt...damn it,but got to stock 4.0.4
Having a gtab 3G...offering my help,if required...
Got my Tab with stock HC today. I wanted to root it but I can't access download mode. When holding Vol down + Power it is not reacting at all.
I flash my S1 often, so I know what to do. but this is confusing me.
Okay guys, so i tried restoring my phone back with odin' with the T959UVJFD file so i can restore to 2.1 and get root than install recovery, well i forgot to include the pit file with odin i also believe i hit repartion in odin so i only installed the pda file the phone reboots flashes the samsung symbol and goes back to the back battary symbol and just goes back a fourth ive tried reflashing with odin multible times with the pda and pit file from android 2.1 and no luck at all!!!!
So you can get into download mode? Can you get into recovery?

Maybe try flashing a different Odin file like Fishman's Bionix and see if that jars something loose. Maybe a change of files is all you need.
@Toast - he said he tried Odin a few times, so he can get into DLmode, I assume. I wonder if he flashes just the Pit file, if it would do anything. Maybe flash the Pit file alone and then flash the PDA and Pit file together after that. Jsut pulling straws here on that one but I would try my first suggestion though.

How does Odin act when your phone is connected to it in download mode?
As Woodrube stated, I would try a couple of his suggestions. Try a different USB port, preferably not one in front, but a hard mounted USB in back would he great. (Not a PCI addon).
I too suggest you try to flash an Odin image of fishmans bionix.
See where that takes us.
Edit: you answered most of this while I was waiting on my post to post.
Try grabbing that bionix ROM Odin file and flashing that.

When you try to get into download mode now, you might not get the yellow triagle/android with the shovel but make sure the Yellow Com button lights up in Odin. Might take you a few tries to get into DLmode now but once you do,
Fishman has multiple Odin images that can be used that alreayd have root and custom recovery included. Get one of those to boot up and you are good to go on to your next ROM.

I'm getting my Google on. Can you get the Yellow Com box to light up? Phone doesn't have to show power or anything on screen to get that. I know you don't have the Phone..!..Computer but it is good directions on how pesky DLmode can be.

If you are getting a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image (seen above) when booting phone, yes, you are bricked but it is reversible! Just follow these steps...
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

Edit:: Just to rule this out and I by no means want this to reflect badly, but your signature says At&t GS3. Did you flash to correct PIT file for the Vibrant? Just wondering bc there is no reason it should be hardbricked by just flashing files through Odin unless the bootloader got corrupted, whcih you didn't touch those.

Lol no gs3 is my personal phone the vibrant is my buddies ive tried that guide odin passed and it went to the battery logo than back to the samsung logo...but now i need to figure out why the phone wont turn on at all. i also try putting the phone in download mode i cant get into it now
Well, its possible that it is/will get into download mode and the screen still stay off.. it can look dead as a field mouse and still work in Odin.
Just keep trying
Pull battery, button combo for download mode plug in and see if Odin will finally see it. Then flash Fishmans Bionix w/ his Odin files. I don't see really how you could be bricked for any long term or anything.

Try imageshark.us or imagevenue.com to upload to an url.
Or post as an attachment.
I think it's force download, flash any Stock ROM via Odin.

need urgent help
Forced download mode. Get a stock rom from Samfirmware & flash it with Odin (search XDA for instructions).
Edit - And while you might think it's urgent, people will help you when someone who is able to help reads your thread. Not before. Be patient once you make a thread.

sorry my bad....
i try flash with odin but it wont boot to download mode...
when i turn off and turn on again...it still same image appeare...
Keep trying to get into download mode. Turn phone off, hold power/home/volume down. If you still can't get into DL mode, try a jig. If you still can't get into DL mode even with a jig, service centre.

hold the button needed to go into odin mode and once the screen appears, try using odin. that happened to my phone once. i took my phone out in the middle of an odin update. the same screen appeared. i just put it back in and odin worked fine.
OP - I just realised something when I was outside having a smoke just now. The phone *is* already in download mode when you have those symbols on the screen (had a blonde moment earlier). It's just a matter of getting Odin to recognise the phone.
So....You need to try as many of the below steps as you need to in order to have Odin recognise the phone:-
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (If you're using V3, use V1.3, and if that doesn't work use V1.85; search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Run Windoze Update.
And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if it won't work first time on another PC, go thru the above steps on that PC.
if odin doesn't recognize your device, maybe your PC doesn't have USB drivers installed.
I faced this problem when i tried to flash NeatROM but failed, and I want to get it back with the older kernel using odin, but my laptop doesn't recognize the device. I have tried different ports, but still the same.
I got the solutions by reading this thread, and finally getting directed to THIS THREAD.
- Download SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe, and install it on your PC.
- Open ODIN whatever version and plug your device (at this point odin should recognize your device)
- flash the kernel you want
I hope my post will help

Hi,
I am having some issues with my phone. From one day to another it stopped working, did not turn on, stuck on boot streen.
I searched the net and found that I should reset firmware using Odin.
Installed USB Drivers and now I tried 5 different firmwares, stock and custom, PIT as well. It seems like Odin is having issues writing to the phone.
The operation ends with "odin fail nand write start".
I cannot get anything flashed to the phone via Odin - what can I do?
Is there a way to flash using an micro-SD or another tool I can try?
At the moment I have no MicroSD and no Sim inserted..

Are you using the correct version of ODIN? (3.07) ODIN detects your phone right? If so, and you can't send anything via PC, your phone's usb port is probably dead.
I tried with Odin 3.07 and 3.10. Yes, Odin recognizes the phone and starts but then fails after ~ 5-10 minutes while doing nothing

And your phone is in download mode? Have you put custom recovery on your phone? If so, you would have been able to flash rom.
The phone did not start after shutting it down one day. I had no alternative firmware or anything else installed before.
Wen powering up the boot screen is all I see "Samsung Galaxy S II" It does not do anything else and I have to pull the battery to turn it off.
Reset using pwr.up + home + power does not work, it kept switching back and forth between the android pic and "Samsung Galaxy..."
I can get into Download Mode though, that is what I did before plugging in to PC.
Download Mode shows the following
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
I just want to flash a German stock firmware and for the phone to work, not experiment with different ROMS etc..

What about trying a different stock rom (e.g. different version or from different region since all stock roms are multilingual)? Try downloading a different stock rom and flash it with odin.
I had already tried with another non-stock ROM, it failed at the same point.. But I will try one more
Heimdall can't write to phone either
I get the exact same trouble with the same phone (GT-i9100) since today.
Before that, everything worked fine : I used Cyanogenmod 11 on it. Today suddenly it rebooted and have been stucked on the Galaxy splash screen since then.
The only thing I can do is boot in Download mode.
I tried the exact same steps but with Heimdall 1.4.0 from Ubuntu (removed SIM and SD card, tried 2 differents USB cables, differents USB port of my laptop, tried to install Stock ROM) with no more luck than you.
Any help will be appreciated.
I recommend to start from zero, this way is clean.... with ODIN and to try different roms sotcks.... in the web of sammy... there a lot..... and try with an alone PDA it is sufficient to restore the i9100...
No need sd internal.. and no need sim to test de rom stock.
Advance users.... Tell me if I am wrong....
Leo
We do not have choice anyway (only Download mode is accessible) so we have to start from zero.
BTW, What do you mean by sammy web. Any link ? I tried the original stock rom I got with the phone with no luck.
Anyway it seems that Heimdall is unable to write anything to the phone.

what about getting into the custom recovery? Are you sure you can only get into download mode? Did you use the correct button combination? Since you have cm11, you can flash a different rom via recovery. Remember to factory reset, wipe cache, format system before flashing new rom.

Unfortunately yes I am sure to use correct combination : Volume Up+Home then Power during 3 seconds and still pressing Volume Up+Home does nothing, or to be precise only the Samsung Galaxy Logo nothing more.
Only Volume Down+Home+Power work and get me to Download mode.

With heimdall it seems the software is not able to end session.
For instance here is the output I got when trying to download the current PIT :
Code:
Heimdall v1.4.0
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
Attempt failed. Detaching driver...
Claiming interface again...
Setting up interface...
Initialising protocol...
Protocol initialisation successful.
Beginning session...
Some devices may take up to 2 minutes to respond.
Please be patient!
Session begun.
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to receive session end confirmation!
Releasing device interface...
Re-attaching kernel driver...
Using verbose mode in Heimdall I get random errors when it tries to end a session (even with simple task as when downloading PIT data), and even sometime when it tries to simply detect the device (same thing under Windows 7 and Mac OS X):
Code:
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: 501862035
How to be sure it is a software problem and not an hard one (around USB module) ?
Is there any update on this issue?
I still cannot use the phone..
Does anyone know someone in east-western Germany (OWL) that is really fit when it comes to flashing Samsung phones??
After having let an official Samsung local repair store tried to factory reset it whitout more success than me, the phone seems to finally have become a real hard brick
Unfortunately I do not have access to JTAG stuff which may be the last hope for this one.
