Root your Gio With Gingerbread 2.3.3:

1. Download: Update.zip

2. Copy ZIP file to your SD-card

3. Turn off your phone

4. Now, you will have to switch ON your device in the recovery Mode which can be done by holding the Middle button and then Power ON the device by pressing the Power ON button.

5. In recovery mode, you will see the option called update from SD Card, select this option and then you will see that the list of files will come from which you will have to select the file which is named as Update.zip

6. Wait a few seconds (MAX 5 minutes!)

7. Your phone is rooted

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Theeky:
hi,

I have the same issue with 2.3.4!

After the update I root the phone and superuser works ok, but the link2sd seems not to be ready for this version, it don't recognizes (or remember) the partition and restarts the phone after we select what type of partition the sd use.

I have already format the sdcard (in both partitions), change the partition type to ext3, and link2sd keep restarting the phone.

I do not think is a root problem because I have already install other program that requires root and I had no problems with it.

I hope soon comes out any new link2sd version..

If anyone can make the program works please tell something! :rolleyes:

Need help with upgrade to Gingerbread

Hi to all here,

Im a new here in this thread and I need some help/explanation.

I did an upgrade via ODIN to Gingerbread but it was a ROM from any Russia guy so there was Russian applications and not many languages. I would like to upgrade to original version so I downloaded a package of files: amss, arm11boot, boot.img, csc.rfs, mibib, oemsbl, qcsbl, recovery.img, system.rfs but really dont know, how to use theese files to upgrade my Gio. When I used ODIN before I had a package of just 4 files as APBOOT, CODE, MODEM, GT-S5660.

Can you help me please someone? I need work with this phone and I have a lot of personal data and wanna do it with "new" Gingerbread upgrade.

Thanx a lot

Gingerbread 2.3.4 rooted!!

Your method works fine, thank you strunkie !

I rooted my Samsung gt-s5660 (under Gingerbread 2.3.4, installed via Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.42 - select single file and point to .rar) through the steps you suggested.

As a test, I installed an application which needs rooted mode (ShootMe); it is OK and so I think all the problems faced with SuperOneClick v2.1.1 (in my case it hangs at step 6 ...) are overcome.

Thanks again, very good job!

Ps. Recommend to select the option called "update from SD Card" in recovery mode, by means of the volume switch and pressing middle button.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Spider33:
For those who are having trouble roouting the gingerbread with the root gb updated.zip or the updated.zip using ClockworkMod recovery, you have to mount the system first:

After Installing ClockworkMod recovery with Odin:

Put you phone in recovery Mode by pressing Home button + Power button toghether

Go to the "mounts and storage" menu and "mount /system"

Now you can flash the root gb updated.zip or the updated.zip file on the SD Card

(As a precaution I unmounted the /system, but i think it unmounts automaticly on reboot)

And reboot

Rooting the GT-S5660M...

I have the same issue as DebianUser...

I have a GT-S5660M, and it gives the same error. I assume that its caused because the model number differs from the European Gio, which should be GT-S5660, not GT-S5660M.

Any way of fixing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Use a text editor that's able to handle Unix-style line endings. I suggest Notepad++, free and open-source.

Add the 5660M in the options and rezip.

Ummmm!

One really dump and totally newbie question! well actually two

Recently I have migrated to the world of android by turning my beloved HTC HD2 into a gingerbread set and I am loving it to no end! Having seen all the goodies that comes with a rooted android phone I have made it a project of mine to root the Mrs. samsung galaxy gio!

I am about to do as this thread directs me to but she is worried that rooting her phone she is going to loose her stock rom and all her information that's inside, pictures, contact information, and such. To which I have no certain reply as to what happens afterwards. It is my impression that the stock rom and all its functionality will remain and then some more added advantage of it being rooted, am I correct? or should I then proceed with the installation of clockwork recovery and a custom rom! :confused:

I know I am way off base here but I honestly need to know this! she is driving me up the wall with all the goodies on my HD2 and to make her happy I want to root her's too so that she too can also have a piece of the dream

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] CVAngelo:
Confirmed for Gingerbread 2.3.6

I can confirm that the update.zip works perfectly with S5660 Gio running Android 2.3.6. Please note that this will provide root access via Superuser. If you wish to root with SuperSu by Chainfire, install CWM recovery (using a CWM zip available on XDA) after you've rooted with this Superuser by flashing SuperSu zip from CWM.

I've noticed a number of folks having problems rooting via the update.zip. I wonder if not turning on USB debugging may be part of the problem. I've always been taught that you've got to have USB Debugging turned on if you're going to root a phone. Regardless, I ALWAYS turn it on just in case.

I have SE X10 and 8gb microsd sdhc class 4. Tried 5-6 different ROMs and every time have same problem. After installing ROM from Xrecovery, phone does not recognise SD card, it can only be seen in stock Android. Right after I restore stock OS from recovery it is working again like a charm.

So does anyone have any idea what can be wrong here?

Btw i have 1gb micro SD, and it is working flawlessly with any ROM.

I already tried to find sollutin on X10 forum but didnt have any sucess, so I am trying here.

thanks in advance
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nielshtc:
I received my Archos 101 two days ago and (especially with the price in mind) am very pleased with the device so far. Currently it’s still running the stock ROM with firmware update 2.3.26.

First of all, I don’t know if this applies to other gen 8 devices as well, but the first thing I noticed when using the device was that pixel ratio in relation to the screen’s resolution wasn’t 1:1. This is probably most noticeable in the icons. Take for example the calculator icon, which is designed to be a perfect square. In landscape mode the icon is stretched out a bit, in portrait mode it’s squashed in a bit. The browser (world) icon is supposed to be a perfect circle but looks like an oval on the 101. You can also see it clearly inside the browser on webpages, especially if you’re used to what certain font faces are supposed to look like. In landscape mode the fonts are stretched (they look low and wide), in portrait mode they look squashed (they look high and narrow). If you flip it around a few times to compare I’m sure you’ll see what I mean.

I’m a bit surprised that I haven’t come across any notion of this on the forum at all so far. I know it’s not just my device because I see the same thing happening in all the screenshots I’ve seen around on the forum. I suspect the Archos framework with the softkeys might have something to do with it. That the screen real estate is transformed to make room for the soft keys (even though I’ve seen screenshots of the soft keys being put in the notification bar and still show the same problem). Or that Archos is compensating for the fact that 1024x600 is not a true 16:9 ratio (which would be 1024x576) but that the focus is put on having fullscreen video play the best way possible and that therefore the Android 1024x600 UI is forced into a different ratio.

These are just speculations on my part obviously. What I’m really curious for is if somebody came across something to compensate this (or de-compensate for that matter), or even better; got this whole thing fixed. Did anyone every play around with certain properties and found that it changed the ratio (even if it looked overly stretched out or anything, at least that would indicate you can do something with it) Could it have something to do with the ro.sf.lcd_density property? To be honest I would much rather have a black bar on the bottom of a few pixels than have the whole UI being deformed. The best solution would obviously be to give the whole Android UI the exact same pixels as the screen has. Maybe I’m being a bit picky since I didn’t find any threads on this yet, but being a visually oriented app developer it’s really annoying to me to find interface elements I carefully created be deformed on the Archos while it doesn’t on other Android devices.

Thanks in advance!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
Interesting post, but I do not have that issue. The Video icon on the home screen measures exactly 5/16" by 5/16" in both landscape and portrait. I do not see any ellipsing of round icons or images, either. Obviously, widgets get resized, but if you're a dev, you already know how resizing and the Patch 9 system works.

I do see a slight kerning change in text in the stock Browser, but definitely no change to images.

I'll be interested to see what others say. Can you post some screens?
