We have a few ROMs, nothing compared to what all of the 4.0 and 5.0 owners get to enjoy. We DID have a CM7 project going, but that seems to have died off. A few days ago, I started a project to build CM7 for the 4.2 though. If more developers had this device, we'd have a lot more ROMs.
Well, hopefully after a slow start this wonderful piece of the galaxy family will go a long way
thank you in advance! it is because of people like you that this thing wont die!
Any links on that CM7 project going on?
I need the standard ICS Bluetooth tethering working here, and i think CM7 isnt going to solve my problem.
I just needed to tether my 3G connection from my phone to this by bluetooth (much less battery use) and would need ICS (at least) to do that.
The other thing i would love to have is Voodoo Sound Kernels built to this device. After all this device could be even greater in sound quality than it is, it has all the necessary hardware. all thats missing is the software.

4Glad to see someone started a thread for the Galaxy Player 4.2 :good:
I will appreciate it, too, when a developer at some point gets one of these and plies their skills to a rooting solution. Though I am a long time PC user, this is my first android device. For a reasonable price and without being tied to a service contract, it seems like a carryable solution for audio/video playing, GPS, WiFi to local computers or internet. Slight improvements over the 4.0 include a claimed IPS screen, slightly larger screen size & battery, and front speakers. But less root-friendly. And as I'm sure everyone here agrees, if we bought a device we should be able to own it! Including administrator/root user control if we wish.
Here's a little bit of info I can contribute: accessing Download Mode or Recovery Mode. Samsung's website didn't help as it only linked a user manual for the 4.0. So I searched and tinkered.
First, identifying my device (bought from US website).
Printed in battery compartment
Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 8GB
model YP-GI1CB/XAA
date 2012.05
Settings | About device
model number YP-GI1
android version 2.3.6
kernel version 2.6.35.7-CL1076053 [email protected] #1
build number GINGERBREAD.UELD3
Here's a repeatable method that worked for me to access Download Mode.
1) device off, unplug USB, pull out/reseat battery to try to clear possible bugginess in firmware.
2) home + volume down + power (press in order and hold). Takes about 3 seconds. Displays the following.
Warning!!!Here's a repeatable method that worked for me to access Recovery Mode (aka bootloader menu).
A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.
If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.
1) device off, unplug usb, pull out/reseat battery to try to clear possible bugginess in firmware.
2) home + volume up + power (press in order and hold), release power when white Samsung logo appears. Takes about 7 seconds. Displays the following.

UPDATE: A few days ago I'd sent a message to Samsung support, including mention of the User Manual download actually being for the 4.0. Well, I checked again today, just before submitting this post, and I see they did link a 4.2 manual around that time. On page 16 are Recovery Mode instructions that align with what I wrote above.4
There's no difference between the US and the Intl version. They are just different from the region.
Also CWM Port for the 4.2 Complete with wifi working!!3solved problem, yp-gi1 root no wif
for other people with same problem as me:
Modell: YP-GI1CB, downloaded rooted firmware for CB-modell, flashed via odin -- > NO WIFI!
Downloaded the Kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885374 (as well the firmware)
Flashed the kernel via Odin --> WIFI WORKS!!
Powered off the device, plugged in the USB JIGG (mine is from d9m.eu and was for the SGS2, i guess all jigg are working)
Gone into Download Mode, and tada, triangel flews away as well the galaxy s 2 bootlogo! So i am on a rooted galaxy s wifi 4.2 with original bootlogo, as the people who have no problem with wifi =)
after i tested titanium backup, delete unnecessary apps to free up ram etc, also tested sd booster, all work well!
thanks a lot alice90 for your help, but i had no time now and then i try this on my own risk but now everything works fine and as i wanted!!!
:fingers-crossed::victory:
I hope other members can refer to my method and that i can help them =)3
Hey Yippingbyrd; if your device is bricked already, there's less risk trying the ROMs. I would advise checking the PIT before, making sure the layout matches between US and INTL. I'll attach mine at end of the post so you can compare.
And btw the ROM upload is finally done!
Flash at your own risk
Stock and su-injected ROMs for YP-GI1CW ONLY
I'll make a dedicated thread later, need some sleep.
