Building replicant for the Galaxy Player 50 (YP-G50).

The galaxy player 50 has the same SoC as the galaxy S. What version of
the kernel does the galaxy S use with replicant?

The sources I have downloaded for the YP-G50 are for the 2.6.29 version
of the kernel. There are two modules, bcm4329 and fm_si4709.

I compiled the kernel into a zImage and tried flashing, and there is a
definite improvement (instead just the logo SAMSUNG appearing, I now get
that and a black screen for about a second). The kernel modules once
compiled, turn into dhd.ko and Si4709_driver.ko.

I do not have access via adb.

What should I do next to get replicant working on my device?

Any help with this much appreciated.
