How i use this rom?

Im new to android world and i try to search about it on the web but there is too much confusion on my head right now.

I have stock Froyo 2.2.1, to use this rom i have to download the gingerbread firmware on samfirm.com like the last 2.3.4 showed in the site in red?

How i do it? just put the 4 files in odin and click start to install 2.3.4?No need to erase the current firmware?

there is any difference between room and firmware?

Sorry for these questions but i bought this phone less than a week ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] StefanAlexandru:
Hello, Download the latest firmware, load the files into odin, afterwards enter in downloading mode on your android device by pressing volume down + the home button + power button, then your phone will enter in downloading mode.

Now you can plug your phone to PC by USB cable, and you have to wait for Odin to find your phone, as soon as he assign a COM port (a small box will be colored in yellow with a text in it COM ##, # stands for a number) you can hit the start button, it will take about 5 to 7 min to complete.

And that's all, very easy :)

If you receive any errors concerning USB connection, repeat all the steps above, but this time change your USB cable to another port.

Btw, sorry for my poor english, I hope you understand the mentioned steps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sttranger:
Helped a lot. So im free to use any firmware, old or new, free to upgrade or downgrade when i want without problems. I thiught i need to have a specific firmware before i put another. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] StefanAlexandru:
One more thing to mention.. you have to take the firmware for your area e.g : Europe/Asia etc...

And I think that's all :)

GoodLuck to your first firmware upgrade.. and please let us know if you were successfull .. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ijallevine:
mastah TJ_…… I got a trouble with an a2sd system app.. it's force close everytime.. how could I fix it? anyway, I used an andro-id final..

Yet another ROM for Galaxy Mini :D

Recompiled kernel to support ext 3/4, tun/tap, cifs, swap (sorry not overclock)

Pre-rooted

ADB as root

Busybox, tune2fs, mke2fs, and e2fsck commands (via adb) on recovery

init.d support

Added script to format SD card 2nd partition to Ext4

Filesystem check before mounting in place

system, data, cache partitions converted to ext4

DT's a2sd 2.7.5.2-1 (please notes below)

Uncommented install-recovery.sh (for people using link2sd, please see notes below)

New bootanimation

Removed startup sound

CRT animation when turning off screen (to enable, go to Settings>Display>Animation and select 'All animations')

Custom theme ==> courtesy of our Galaxy Ace friends http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1168

Reboot, Recovery and Download shotrcut on Power Option

myfiles replaced with rootexplorer, touchwiz replaced with zeam

Google apps removed (see attached apks to re-install)

OpenVPNSettings (inlcuding binary), Screenoffandlock, and CifsManager pre-installed

Changed default language to English

Pre-install Notes:

This is based on the Android 2.3.4 Europe firmware from samfirmware.com (S5570XXKPI_SERKPI_XXKPI). So if that firmware does NOT work for you, DO NOT flash this one.

FLASHING DISCLAIMER APPLIES!

1. Backup! Backup! Backup!

2. Download and unzip file http://www.gamefront.com/files/20518220/S5570_GB_MOD.tar.zip

3. Flash as 'One Package' using Odin

4. Done!

Additional Notes:

The "can't mount....." error in recovery mode is normal. Just ignore it.

Wiping data or cache in recovery will reformat BOTH data and cache partitions. So please be careful if you wish to wipe cache partition only BECAUSE IT WILL WIPE DATA ALSO

Minor issue with the custom theme ==> Menu fonts are not visible on some apps. If you want to revert to stock theme, apply attached Stock_Theme.zip as an update zip

Darktremor a2sd and Link2sd Notes:

Do not use BOTH at the same time. Either you use a2sd only or link2sd only. DT a2sd mounts 2nd partition in /system/sd while link2sd in /data/sdext2. Default mount is a2sd. So if you want to use link2sd over a2sd you need to disable a2sd's mounting by executing the command below as root -

chmod 640 /etc/init.d/00-sdmount

Alwys perfect parasmi ,your custom kernel with oc? Thx (:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] splattx_x:
Wow! I must say with all these cool mods popping up it makes me rethink my idea of compiling one myself... Only thing that holds me back is that all these mods are based on european firmware and I had a bad experience with an old phone where I lost 3G and the GPS :( so I'll have to keep working

@parasmi: your mod seems great, and I would like to ask you a question, I have original amss and csc files from my stock ROM but it's Froyo based. Do you think that I could replace those files and your package and give it a try or is it too dangerous? If it doesn't work properly would I be able to flash back to Froyo? I have a .tar package downloaded with CheckFus with my original stock ROM (that's where I got the files I mentioned above) which contains:

- boot.img

- csc.rfs

- recovery.img

- system.rfs

- amss

I'm asking because I see that your package has a hell of a lot more files than just those 5. Thanks and keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] newxda85:
good job man...

i'll try it soon :)

anyone who has tried it, give some review please
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
If you can flash back to your original firmware, then it's worth a shot.

You can untar the md5 file, then re-tar and resign the following files:

boot.img

csc.rfs==> your copy

data.rfs

recovery.img

system.rfs

amss==> your copy

Excluded are arm11boot, mibib, oemsbl, and qcsbl (I really don't know what these files are for)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
Thank you parasmi, i'll try it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jackmini:
Recently I have flashed my mini with OC Kernel 806mhz, but I can't use the USB Mass Storage mode on my phone anymore. I have clicked the turn on mass storage button plenty of times also cannot work. Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
Parasmi can you release an overclock kernel for this rom? Max 748 Mhz?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ezkaton:
how the step buddy? we are back to 2.3.4 original? and then flashing with your rom from one package in odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
You can flash directly on any version. Just make sure you flash it as 'One Package' in Odin

Still "learning" to overclock a kernel ;)

I'm flashing but it's been 6minutes already and it's stuck at system.rfs download... should I worry? Does it really take that long? It never took this long before :( I'm worried that if I disconnect I will brick my phone... some help anyone?

EDIT: OK, almost 15minutes now and I'm starting to freak out. I guess I really messed up. There's no way this can take 20min... I'm unplugging the phone and gonna try again... and pray... a lot

UPDATE: OK, flashing parasmi's custom ROM didn't work for me, had to try twice and I could transfer all files correctly with ODIN but got stuck at the samsung logo at reboot. Luckily I didn't brick my phone and was able to flash original stock rom. I have to say I have model S5570L which is for Latin America and parasmi's ROM is based o european version so mine was a long (and very reckless) shot. On the upside, now I know that I have backup ROM as long as I don't mess up download mode. Too bad it didn't work for me, your ROM seems really cool

thanks so much

Got a problem! After I installed 2.3.4 ginger all works! but after install with Odin, "boot-cm-864.tar" I no longer go Wi Fi. when I test

WlanTest Engineering Mode

(* # * # 526 # * # *) status is: Driver loading failed. Please help me! Tj you could do me "boot-cm-864.tar.md5" 10x
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
You're using stock 2.3.4 right? Not CM7 custom ROM?

Boot-cm-xxx.tar.md5 is intended for CyanogenMod ROM, not for stock Gingerbread 2.3.4. You're lucky you didn't brick your phone. Flash back to 2.3.4 will solve your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] newxda85:
waiting kernel w/ (overclock supported) for your room :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] milululu:
i already flash the custom rom, it is good, but after flash i see that, the storage used 65M, i think you should increase the storage for the custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] csocsfej:
Hi,

ROM works fine, the only problem for me, when i push the menu button, cant see the menu icons label, or any text. Nor on the home screen, not @ btw Root Explorer.

Is the any solution to make it visible?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] splattx_x:
Have you read all the instructions given by parasmi? Specifically this:

Minor issue with the custom theme ==> Menu fonts are not visible on some apps. If you want to revert to stock theme, apply attached Stock_Theme.zip as an update zip

Try and see if that solves your problem.

@parasmi any idea why could I have ended stuck at samsung logo? 1st time flashing didn't went through and got stuck at system.rfs but the 2nd time everything copied ok to the phone (apparently). Do you think that it could be the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] csocsfej:
Hello,

yes, i have, but i like this theme:) i just hoped, it can be done without loosing this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
So the oc kernel is for Andro-ID and not cyanogen

Try to manually install the module. Type the command below in terminal as root

insmod /system/wifi/ar6000.ko
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
This is a deodex ROM. So all dex files from system where moved to data partition. In addition to that, ext4 takes up more space than rfs. So it's a must you use darktremor's as2sd :)

But your problem's weird because after install you should get at leat 105mb. Did you install apps already?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
If you have Android SDK installed, run ddms.bat located in the tools folder. See if you phone is online and check the logs ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] newxda85:
yup, you're right.

love the theme than Stocked_theme.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] splattx_x:
I just read your post. I already flashed back to my stock ROM. I'm about to travel and I needed it working. I'm assuming the logs have to be taken after I flash your ROM, right? Or can I get those logs with my current ROM? Would that help? In any case I'll be able to try after the weekend. Also, I just remembered I couldn't boot into recovery either. Only download worked (fortunately)

Also, I've noticed that the differences between default config files for S5570 and S5570L are really small. And I don't think CSC and amss files would change from one Android version to another... perhaps the ROM can be recompiled with latin kernel? Just a thought... I'd be happy to help anyway I can. I'm still a newbie but I was able to compile and boot a working kernel (with default config) in the past for Galaxy 551 which is pretty similar to mini.

Nite guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] AndroidFiber:
Guys..any download links for the parasmi rom? Cant download previous links..thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] p0pandr3:

I'm having a few difficulties with a galaxy mini, maybe, you guys can help me. I still don't believe it's bricked. What a hell, I didn't brick a phone ever and I wrote so many, many roms since windows mobile 2003 until here, with android. I own a Galaxy S with custom rom.

A friend of mine asked me to unlock his phone, galaxy mini s5570, to another network, from Orange to Cosmote. I find a tutorial on the net, it uses adb, write a few commands from the command prompt console and reboot. But, after reboot, it's looping at Samsung logo.

So, I came here, in the old xda forum and found tj's rom, wrote it, everything was ok. But there is no carrier signal and it's rebooting itself after a while. Wi-fi and GPS are working perfectly, in fact everything is working except you can't make any calls because there is no signal. It says: no service.

I tried the roms from samfirmware, 2.3.3, 2.3.4, the same thing. If I try to downgrade to Froyo, it stays at Samsung logo.

I tried parasmi rom (the last one) and the same thing, no signal. If I go to Setting->About phone->Status at Service state it says: Radio off.

Baseband version: unknown.

And it's not reading the IMEI number anymore.

So, I'm stuck, don't know to do anymore. :confused:

Thanks.

edit: there is no sound either.

Problem with kernel -- frequent restarts ;(

Hi..

I've got problem with frequent restarts. I did everything with INSTRUCTION. And is bad :(. When I power on my phone ( Galaxy Mini ) after flashing samsung's logo followed restart. And as always... I was power on my phone to finish only once and i change in SETCPU freq to 600mhz with 825mhz (But this is probably standard in the settings of this kernel)and work longer but not long <-- restart. Wtf ?? Plz help me :D

P.S About phone:

*Android ver. -> 2.2.1

*Baseband ver. -> S5570XXKA5

*Kernel ver. -> 2.6.32.9-perf || root@SE-S604 #1

*Build number -> FROYO.XWKAB

I set lower 700mhz and crash or restarts.. What is this ?? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
When you change setting in setCPU, enable the option "set on boot" so that it will not revert back to 825 (which is not stable) after reboot

I previously had the same problem. Looks like it's not stable @ 825. Changed setting to 787 and now very stable :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] patryklen:
hmmm Ok i'll try again.. :D Can you tell me what is your firmware ??

P.S I know about " set on boot ". Can you give me your settings set cpu.. Max: " ??? "mhz and Mini: " ??? "mhz

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] splattx_x:
@parasmi:

either today or tomorrow I'll probably give it another shot at flashing your ROM, BUT as I mentioned earlier keeping my stock amss and csc files. I hope this time it works I'll try to do it more calmly. If it doesn't work I'll have to flash my backup because it's my only phone, but is there anything else besides running ddms.bat that I can do to help the debugging process in case it doesn't work? And if it does work would you want me to test something specific?

are the following files really unnecessary? Have you flashed succesfully without them?

arm11boot

mibib

oemsbl

qcsbl

FYI: I'm using the following commands to repack .tar after adding my amss and csc.rfs files:

$ tar -H ustar -c amss boot.img csc.rfs recovery.img system.rfs > parasmi_ROM.tar

$ md5sum -t parasmi_ROM.tar >> parasmi_ROM.tar

$ mv parasmi_ROM.tar parasmi_ROM.tar.md5

can you tell if I'm doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
Sorry, I really don't know the answer to your first question. For the second question, yes I did. From any Europe firmware to S5570DXKA3
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
None that I can think of :(. You can try adding back arm11boot, mibib, oemsbl, qcsbl

This is correct
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] splattx_x:
Sorry, english is not my first language. I was asking if you were able to flash your ROM without including these files in the tar package:

arm11boot

mibib

oemsbl

qcsbl

thx parasmi,

this is the real answer......
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] splattx_x:
@parasmi:

Ok, tried again to flash your ROM, again no luck and device doesn't show up in ddms either so no debugging possible :( News is I tried to flash samfirmware's ROM (only PDA, I didn't wanted to mess up my amss and csc) and that didn't work either, same error Stuck at Samsung logo and no recovery :( My guess is that this is a kernel related issue, but can't confirm.

I think the only option I have left is start developing my own ROMs which was orginally my plan but will take a long long time, since I have to learn a lot and don't have too much time. In any case, if I make progress I will share it of course.

Conclusion: on mini S5570L european based ROMS don't work (at least for me)

My Samsung Galaxy Mini not Booting

Hi all,

I wanted to install custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Mini but before that i also wanted to backup the current ROM to revert to Froyo if required.

For this purpose i installed ROM Manager on my device and when i clicked on the "restart in recovery mode" it asked my to install ClockWork Recovery which i installed using the list it provided "Hawai Mini" option. then i pressed "restart in recovery mode" and since then my device is not responding, it is not booting at all..

please help....

is there any way to install Custom ROM in this state? or any way to turn the device functional again???

looking forward.
