Well you have two choices...

I'm still trying to build a back-to-stock ROM for this (its the first step in me messing around trying to upgrade it), so you can forgive my lack of android knowledge and be patient with me and hope for the best

Or alternatively you can try and throw yourself at the mercy of samsung tech support and see if they can help!!

ummm... okay!

So anyone intrepid (and, I'd suggest, with a currently bricked non-functioning device) want to try flashing something?

I've managed to make a stock kernel zImage for the yp-g50, packaged with my factoryfs.rfs and a empty dbdata.rfs.

I dont have a bootloader but I'm hoping no ones flashed that, otherwise i think only samsung can help atm. I've no idea where to start with extracting boot.bin or modem.bin for that matter.).

It *should* flash under Odin, if you use just the PDA slot.

DISCLAIMER: I haven't tested this on a device, as I can't afford to brick my own player, but its all built from a combination of source and the f/w on my player, so hopefully it'll work (UNLESS you've messed up the bootloader!). DO NOT flash this for fun, at best you'll end up with exactly what you had before, at worse, you'll brick your device. If you've already bricked it, I can't see anything worse it could do, and it might just help.

Anyway, if you've read all this and are feeling brave... look this way:

Default sorry

Oh excuse me, I realized only now that I had copied the Italian side and not the English one xD I corrected the error! However from what is written by you should just find a way to extract those two files and flash! You can not in any way do without these files?

Whether we need the bootloader depends how broken your device is.

In fact, I'm hoping the link i posted above may correct your situation if you are "soft" bricked - ie. have broken the install of the android OS on your device. Although no ones tested it yet - myself included - so until someone who's got a broken device tries to use it to fix it, we won't know.

This is a version of android that is combined from what is on my own device, plus a kernel zImage taken from some samsung source for the gp-50.

The only time we need the bootloader code, is if you are "hard" bricked - and have tried to flash an incompatible bootloader on to the device. In this case, my files won't fix your issue, as this is the part of the system that loads before the Android OS.

Thanks,

Chris

Well now my device has been taken to fix into a samsung service center in the event but if that was not repaired (because it was rooted in the hope that they have not noticed xD) I could try because I do not think is a serious problem! Just I turned on the player leaves the error "the process twlauncher was closed" or something very similar. Let's see what they tell me the service center. Whatever happens I thank you for all the help you could give me because in many other forums I tried to ask and no one deigned to answer me!

Thanks for sharing the files with us
I tried to upload them to my bricked device using ODIN, but unfortunatelly, it didn't work. I can put the device in download mode, but then Odin stucks transfering the file (nothing really is transfered)
Anyway, thanks again!

Sorry for the lack of update, things are pretty busy here at the moment.

I have no idea why Odin sticks with updating. Sounds like i've not packaged the files correctly, or some wrong option is being used when burning it. You could try untar-ing them and repacking them?

Unfortunately i'm not going to be able to look into this further for the next few weeks at least...
