Exclamation Player Bricked

I used Oden to flash a Samsung Galaxy S II rom to it and now, it only shows the Samsung logo at bootup. No recovery menu. If I try to access the recovery menu, it kicks me out and reboots. Samsung galaxy player 5.0 All Touch Buttons including home.

If you can get into download mode by holding volume down at boot, you can just reflash stock.

Um, okay, for future reference NEVER FLASH ANYTHING NOT SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE! I learned that the hard way, so not saying your stupid, just think a little more before you try to flash a rom for a dual core phone that's only resemblence to a Galaxy player is the word Galaxy. I find that for some reason, each phone has to have a different strain of android, and their roms never, NEVER, mix. So, I am stating this just to warn others new to android, not to make you look bad (I made a similar mistake of trying to flash cwm that someone assured me couldn't possibly brick my device, what a noob I was!).
Get R.E.D.D ->> Got R.E.D.D? <<- Get R.E.D.D

Asking an ETA for a rom is like asking for a hug from Chuck Norris. Moral: NO ETA'S!

Flashing CyanogenMod on a YP-G1 before backing up the EFS is like punching Chuck Norris before you're ready to die. Moral: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR EFS!

Yup... NEVER flash something not designed for your device unless you know EXACTLY what the hardware differences are and how to deal with them, or you've been given specific instructions on how to port firmwares to your device.

(I9100 ROMs are so easy to run on I777 that they can be autoported with a CWM-flashable package now, but that's because the I777 is 95% identical to I9100. There will be nothing that can be "hellraised" to the Players, except possibly being able to creat "common" ROMs that target both International and US with a small zip file containing the differences flashable in CWM.)

Mate, I'm in the same boat where you used to be. Just a little worse.

Long story short: flashed, by mistake, the entire i9000 rom, including boot loaders, through Odin. Got a "black screen", "no reaction" brick. Computer won't detect no matter what button combo I throw at it.

Samsung Galaxy Wi-Fi 5.0"
YP-GB70CWXAZ (8GB) brazilian edition

I need some details about jtag and the micro-usb port. Also, in the current state, can I try to format a sd card & see if the player recovers from it? Like the Samsung Development Board? When everything is screwed, the usb pins can be used as a jtag port to avoid opening the device, even though I already did it.


PS: I've already located the 12 pins (jtag) & another 4 points on the main board. Just don't know how to check if the second ones are also jtag. The blue coating is also scrapped & ready.

Thanks.

Peace.

You might want to try AdamOutler oneclickrecovery before messing with JTAG. You can find it here.

This will upload a bootloader so you can re-flash the device with odin.

I have tried to recover my YP-GB70 (32gb korean version) with AdamOutler tools with 80% success.
Anyway thanks a lot for the tool and your great help.
What I did:
under odin I flashed original YP-GB70 32gb PIT plus the provided "AdamOutler bootloader and the latest korean firmware (pb is the same with any earlier FW version)
The result i got is almost perfect, i passed SAMSUNG logo, the boot ring tone and went the GALAXY sky where it stay looping. (All wipes where done before.)
My questions are:
-What is missing in this Flash process?
-Is the bootloader specific for US version or device related?
-Any idea of what I should do to succeed?
You are welcome to expertize this issue because a solution will be a good tool for many imprudent guys like me.
attached picks of 3 diferent trials done lately.
best regards from France
