how do i reset this device? wipe data?

Use the settings. There is a section where you can reset your SGP. I dont know where exactly. "security" or something like that. Just click throu the settings. You will find it.


Are there any "custom roms" for the yp-gi1CB?? I searched with google but I can only find some for the YP-G1 =( CM9 based roms etc...
I'm really interested. If I had the knowledge I would try :/
A very good step is a CWM Recovery mode. Maybe build in the rooted rom or build it in the kernel.

I will not loose my hope for custom roms or mods etc for yp-gi1

best

Congratulation to all who's been waiting for this!

First things first! Be careful, I'm not to blame if you brick your device.

WARNING - See the second post for reported problems​

This ROMs are for the North American aka US devices (YP-GI1CB), if you have an international device (YP-GI1CW), you should go to this thread which was created by our good friend zebluk. Also there is a wonderful tutorial how to flash the rooted image in that thread, so you can follow it (but use the image from this thread). All credits to zebluk!

So..

When downloading from the mirrors, be warned, I have not checked them, you should check their integrity by calculating their sha1 hashes and comparing with ones I am providing for each file.

Here is the PIT file.

Here is the STOCK FACTORYFS ROM (size: ~260 MiB, sha1: 709ea3a1594fe4776065308a198e120129652b38)

First you should un-7zip your downloaded file, there you will have directoriy with a descriptive name and a tarball archive inside.
You can flash these tarball (without extracting) using Odin v3.04 (Attached) or extract the image file from the tarball archive and flash using Heimdall v1.3.1 (don't use the 1.3.2 version). I've personally tried flashing only with Heimdall under Linux, but Odin should work too.

If you are using Windows and you don't have device drivers, download them from here.

DepositFiles is not the best filesharing service but works well for me, feel free to create mirrors and share links in PM, I'll post them here.

Hi Alice, I flashed the stock kernel to my device and the samsung galaxy sII logo with triangle keeps coming up and then it brings me to the android system recovery screen. How do I remedy this problem? I tried re-flashing both roms you listed and nothing happens.

Corrupt factory ROM on DepositFiles.com

I love my Galaxy Player 4.2. The old battery went belly-up on me--screen blanking and media player shutting down arbitrarily. I now have a new battery and the screen blanking quit. I had previously erased and reset to factory and now many of the Google apps don't work. So, I tried downloading the factory ROM that Alice90 linked to DepositFiles.com. I have downloaded this file 5 times now and each time the file is corrupted and won't unzip. As a result, I downloaded the international version that zebluk linked to Dev-Host and used that instead. Things seemed to be working allright except for Google Play or Market. I keep getting errors from "vending.com" then when I think I have that fixed, I no longer have a keyboard entry when text input is required.

So, does anyone still have an uncorrupted copy of ypgi1cb-factoryfs-stock.7z that someone can post or send me?

The link for the rooted stock rom is dead (of course it would be that link). Does anyone have a mirror? This is the only place I can find that has root for the 4.2 US player.

EDIT: My mistake, I have a rooted YP-GI1CW/XEF ROM. Discard the rest of the post.


I have it, but I don't know where to upload it. Also, the password to extract it doesn't seem to work anymore

    Possible problems and workarounds

    There are reported cases when the wi-fi stopped working after flashing the rooted factoryfs. And there are two reported solutions:
    1. Backup the contents of /system/etc/wifi before flashing to restore them after flashing if you experinece the wi-fi problem. (This is the recommended way)
    2. Flash the kernel.

    ---------------------------------
    Added:

    As it turned out in the International version (YP-GI1CW) thread, the highly possible reason for this is that there are slightly different versions of the devices. The full code of my device is YP-GI1CB/XAA. If your version is not the XAA (there is, for example, YP-GI1CB/XEG), just backup the contents of your /system/etc/wifi directory before flashing, then rewrite them back if you lose wifi after rooting.

    There are two reported cases when the wifi stopped working after flashing the rooted factosyfs.

    Please report if you have successfully flashed and rooted without problems, so we can know if those two cases were exceptions due to some still unknown reason or there is a real problem. Thank you.

    The second post (problems and solutions) has updated.

    Users who have experienced the wifi problem after rooting, can you please write here you full device code (e.g. mine is YP-GI1CB/XAA) so we can know whether the problem is the existence of slightly different versions of the same device.

    To find out your revision, enter in terminal getprop ril.product_code.

    My model is: YP-GI1CB/XEG

    Think you know how I solved my wifi Problem. Kernel Flash and usb jigg :)
