Hi so I am a complete newbie I just joined today.

I am trying to get Cyanogenmod 11 for my Galaxy Player 4.0. I have never rooted or done any of this stuff.

I would like a step by step guide on how to flash, sorry if I am asking for too much I don't want to brick my player.

I downloaded the ZIP file but I don't know how to use it, I'm sorry I am a total newbie.

First you have to install terrasilent as you need CWM in order to flash CM for it. Here's it's link:

If you need a guide on how to flash, you can follow up this thread.


After you had succesfully flashed terrasilent, you need to put the zip file you downloaded into your device.

Then you need to turn off your device and pressing Power, Vol+ and Home. You will then go into CWM. When you're in CWM, you can follow up the actual CM11 instructions and you'll get safely in CM.

All your files except your games should be intact. If you want to backup them, use titanium backup to do so.

As for efs, it is something really important and you need to backup it. To do so, when you have terrasilent, (1.3.5) you need to do the command found on the cm11 thread while in superuser mode and using adb.

Here's the FAQ if you have some more questions related to root:

I'm NOT rooted, SO SORRY, my player is clean, the only thing it has on it is TerraSilent.

Could you also give a quick tutorial on rooting

How and where would I enter this command?
dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs

Hmm I think it'll be too long to download + set up ADB for the moment so I have another alternative.

First download this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=fr

After having downloaded it, go into the app. Type su and grant the super user permissions requested.

Then do the command to back your efs which is:

dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs

It should backup your efs and you're good to go for CM11.

It says 'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

You need to do an adb shell. Can you just confirm if your device is detected by doing "adb devices"

If it's recognized then you can do

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs

    First you need to install the gapps after installing CM. When that is done, you need to wipe your data (wipe data/factory reset) then you should be good.

    small problem a few silly pictures of me and my family are gone, is there any way I can get them back? It was on the internal sdcard and I thought they wouldn't be removed

    It is supposed to not be removed. It depends also if you've taken another camera app to take those pictures.

    Have you used an app like camera zoom fx?
