I need help from someone who has a WORKING rooted device.
Hey guys. I am working on a total recovery method for this device to assist you guys in making a Hard Bricked device work properly. I need to create a stock firmware package. I've been working my ass off trying to make this a reality.. I've downloaded 10 firmware packages with no success. So, now the only option left is to rebuild from a working device.
Currently we are missing the following partitions:
RECOVERY
DATAFS
USERFS
GANG
So, in this thread I'm asking for community help. I'll post the task and anyone can execute the commands:
1. use a terminal emulator on your phone and execute 'su' and 'mount'
2. copy-paste from the terminal emulator into the forums so we can locate the proper devices per partition
3. execute some commands to dump some partitions which will be determined by step 2
4. post the dumped partitions here.
Anyone can participate in any of these steps... Lets do this quickly!
Task1:
1. Download Terminal Emulator to your Galaxy Player
2. Type the following
3. copypasta the results of the mount command here.
I ignore PMs with questions that could be answered by searching. If you PM me, I probly won't respond.

Hello, I appreciate your work! Will this be able to fix a brick no matter how screwed it is?
The reason I ask is because I believe I have messed up something concerning the pit file.
I was about to send it into samsung to repair, but if this could fix it...

I need this information to develop a total recovery solution.
I'm breaking this down really simple. Please don't clutter this thread. I probly should have posted in development
1. Download Terminal Emulator to your Galaxy Player
2. Type the following
3. copy and paste the results of the mount command here.

Hope this helps
Also would you be able to create a rom for this device say ICS ?

I can make this for you but do you need a US or EU version. Because I have a EU version. And for recovery it's recovery.bin? or .img?

alright. Now task 2,3 and 4.. Anyone can do this.
I need a copy of working partitions from a device. You must trust me that I will perform a master clear. I will not post your personal partitions. I need a template to work with in order to get this device working.
2: execute the following code on your device
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/mnt/sdcard/data.rfs
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/mnt/sdcard/cache.rfs
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/mnt/sdcard/efs.rfs
3: copy the files "data.rfs", "cache.rfs" and "efs.rfs" from your SDCard. put them onto your computer and compress them to save space. They will compress down quite a bit.
4. host them somewhere and send me a PM. If you would like, I have a private FTP site at ftp://adamoutler.com and I will give you a login/password to log into my personal network attached storage and upload the zip file containing the partitions.
I ignore PMs with questions that could be answered by searching. If you PM me, I probly won't respond.

It does not matter.. US, EU.. They're all fine. I think I can make a recovery.bin.

That's possible. I don't own a device to work with, but a total recovery solution comes before any development. You have to have a way to get back to stock.

This is all that's left
2: use market app Terminal Emulator and run the following commands on the device
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/mnt/sdcard/data.rfs
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/mnt/sdcard/cache.rfs
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/mnt/sdcard/efs.rfs
3: copy the files "data.rfs", "cache.rfs" and "efs.rfs" from your SDCard. put them onto your computer and compress them to save space. They will compress down quite a bit.
4. host them somewhere they can be deleted... a personal mediafire account or PM me for access to my server.
I can make an Odin3 1-Click back-to-stock from there.

You may have typed it wrong. Please try again.
Another method for those of you with Linux or any type of SSH terminal like the windows tool puTTY, is to use an app like SSHDroid then terminal in to your device and copy-paste the code block in.
