Default Partition Tables- Get them here

Hey guys, there's a ton of confusion going on because of partition tables and what not. The Galaxy Player 4.0 uses a BML partition table. The Galaxy Player 5.0 uses a MMC block partition table. I ran into problems with 8g versus 16g partition tables because the 8gig won't work on the 16gig and vice versa. We need a master list of PIT files. This is that master list.

International is the standard version. Because of copyright problems, US versions may be different.
PARTITION TABLES
Galaxy player 4.0 16gig thanks some korean site.
Galaxy Player 4.0 US 8gig thanks hyperrunner
Galaxy Player 4.0 International 8gig thanks zaclimon

Galaxy Player 5.0 16gig thanks ishish9
Galaxy Player 5.0 US 8gig thanks redpirate8
Galaxy Player 5.0 International 8gig thanks aillez

Please post your partition table and I will link it in the above. If you have one which is not in the list, let me know.

How to obtain your partition table
  1. Download Heimdall Suite here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
  2. Open "heimdall-frontend"
  3. if you encounter errors in windows, you need to install the zadig libusb driver. Remember to "show all" from the menu in the program.
  4. Put your device in Download mode
  5. Click the Utilities tab
  6. select an output filename. The file should always end with a "pit" I'd recommend something descriptive. eg..
    GalaxyPlayer4.0-16G.pit, or G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit
  7. upload that file to http://mediafire.com
    I recommend Mediafire because they have no distracting adds, no 50 second wait time, no signup, and everything is straight forward as opposed to 99% of the other file hosting sites.
  8. post the mediafire link here in the forum

Ok, first, I don't think there are 16gb versions, other than maybe one for korea?
Second, The main issue here is the international version vs. the U.S. version, I believe there is quite a bit of difference in the firmwares of these versions, so you should probably have sections for "U.S. 4.0, U.S 5.0, International 4.0, International 5.0"
You might get more positive results that way
I am needing the 4.0 U.S Pit, btw, so thank you for creating this thread!

Edit: also, didn't you say in your other thread that heindmall doesn't work with these?

You need to get the Heimdall partition. I observed the same behavior before. and I was thinking it was a fluke.. It looks like on this device the heimdall dump will set the partitions, a bml dump wont.

I'll remove that and we're back at square one.

We could really use some participation here. You'll be thankful if you brick your device. Currently there are no recovery options... This is part of creating the first one ever.

Try making sure you have the samsung usb drivers installed; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
and usb debugging enabled in /settings/applications/development. After that is enabled, just plug it into the pc, don't select connect to computer.

You are going into download mode, correct?
Edit: Do you have the proper package for your os?
Adamoutler, have any advice?
Edit2: Figured it out, go to "drivers" in the heindmall file, run the zadig.exe, select "list all devices" in options, then install "Samsung composite USB".
Worked for me!
