[Q] Galaxy player 3.6 Resolution Problem

[shadowblade2652]

Hello all,
I could not find a solution to my question anywhere. I tried searching, and no luck. I'm hoping one of you really smart devs can help me figure this out.
Ok here goes
1. I was trying to root my mp3 player for a while, a Galaxy Player 3.6 US version (capacitive button)
2. Using the steps at this guide, and the rom from this guide
3. Everything was working perfectly until i tried starting up after i had finished with Odin. As it booted up, I saw that it had a discolored and messed up screen, as in everything was yellow and garbled
4. When i finally got past it having a black screen after that, I saw that it was way screwed up. The screen resolution was way too large, and I couldn't do anything
5. When i tried to re flash the phone to the original stock rom, I tried going into download mode and Odin did not recognize the device, and neither did windows. When I turn it on, and let it boot into the screwed up resolution, It works to a certain extent, as i can open ADB, the drivers working. When i tried using adb push sysbkup (my backup dir from before the root) /sdcard/system (the system directory), nothing happened.

6. This mp3 player is what I need everyday, so I really need help fixing it. Just for the record, Odin does not see the device when it is in download mode, so I cannot re flash it to the original stock rom D:

Thanks for any help, appreciate it

The player actually starts up, but I cannot log in, and It won't show the entire number pad. Adb only recognizes the device when it is actually turned on and booted up into android.

If anyone could help, It's greatly appreciated

I think if you can enter in download mode you flash the 3.6 US rom from my topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741

Rom is a Linux Kernel and Android system : The kernel must be compiled for every device because he have driver and some feature for this unique device. The Android system can run can run with another device like freexperia rom for sony. 3.6, 4.0, 4.2, 5.0 device are different.

I can enter download mode, That isn't the problem. The problem is that i can't connect it to my computer , my computer won't recognize my mp3

Also, I have tried new drivers, but Odin only detects it while it's actually on (android)
Edit:
Windows update is so useful! It downloaded the CORRECT drivers, so now im able to reflash to the stock rom. Any ideas of how to root it correctly? I don't want to screw it up again


I reflashed the stock rom, and now it STILL doesn't work???
It is still having that discolored startup and the resolution problem

This is a really weird problem, because when i go into download mode, it still says that im running the official samsung rom, so I'm wondering if it even flashed correctly?

Now it says custom, even when i download the stock rom? Is there something wrong? I do NOT want to root it if i can't use my mp3, and the main problem of using it after trying to root is that the screen res changes, and I'm only able to see the top half of the screen

Can you provide me with an actual stock rom from anywhere? I can't find one, they are all rooted and I need a regular, stock, unrooted rom :S

I tried unrooting with a rom i thought was "stock" but it still says custom rom in download mode, and I haven't seen anything except once i tried to flash and it gave me a yellow triangle. The system boots up into the screwed up verson,
I also cannot clear my caches as recovery mode won't let me select anything because the home button doesn't work, and neither does the screen or anything for that matter. The screen does not register touches


Ok i tried something new and just flashed the stock INT version
The system starts up in the correct resolution but it doesn't register touches still

Ok, so I managed to get the correct rom installed, everything looks normal except for one thing. The touchscreen does not work. Does anyone have ANY idea how to fix this?

What you want to do is start clean by deleting the drivers for the gplayer 3.6 and reinstalling them, then plug in your player and make sure Odin can detect it, then flash the appropriate ROM. this whole thing could have been from a bad cable or driver, make sure you have the USA ROM because the international does not have the same kernel.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Actually he has been posting in many of the 3.6 threads. His problem was caused by flashing 4.2 ROM to his 3.6 device, which seems to have overwritten more than just his kernel and system. He always seems to leave that part out In hopes that someone actually can fix his problem without understanding it

I actually didn't leave that out because what happened was I didn't realize that i had flashed the incorrect rom...

Is there anyway i can get the drivers for the touchscreen? Maybe reinstall them?

"Leaving out that part in hopes" <------ is actually because i haven't looked on this thread since i found out what i had done wrong...

(oh btw, how do i get my gp3.6 out of recovery mode because when i used adb i typed reboot recovery and so it only boots recovery)
