Flash Galaxy W (i8150) with Odin

@wxtz025 and all the others which have problems to flash their galaxy w... i feel with you cause i had been at same position as you yesterday... my phone didn't start up anymore cause i modified some system files... So i searched for a usefull tutorial but i didn't find something really helpfull. But now i'm very happy that it works again... so here's a short tutorial how to flash Android 2.3.6 with odin:

1. download this package: "https://rapidshare.com/files/2528654376/Samsung_Galaxy_W_I8150XXKK1__EUR_.rar"

Includes: Odin Multi Downloader v4.43, Ancora.ops and the ROM!

2. when you have extracted all turn your galaxy into the downloadmode(power, home and volume down button), start the Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.exe in the archive... one com-port should get yellow if your phone is well connected..

3.Press the "OPS" button and choose the Ancora.ops in the archive

4.now you activate "One Package", "Auto Reboot" and "Protect OPS".

5. Press the "One Package" button on the right and choose the I8150XXKK1_I8150OXXKJ6_I8150XXKK1_HOME.tar.md5 whiche you've downloaded too!

6. Press Start... In 5-10 minutes you'll be the happiest man in the world ;-) if it fails again... try to run in the combatibility mode as windows xp and run as administrator ;-)

7. Press the Thanks Button :P

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!

I can't see nothing. I used a vold.fstab from here and now i cant access my apps, and my homescreen is blank!! What do i do??

edit: I rebooted it and it worked. But now i replaced the modded vold.fstab with the original one and i can't do nothing. So i rebooted again, same thing happened. Then i rebooted one more time, and the apps didn't appear, but i waited 2 mins and now they already appear.

I won't mess with the vold.fstab file anymore. I prefer to have only 2GB for apps instead of constantly worrying about my phone.

flashing galaxy w

@jonasgrosch

i'm currently using the stock rom that came with my phone i-e gingerbread 2.3.5 however i was getting this message in the kies that i cant use kies to update the firmware. Please tell me about the rom that you have uploaded on rapidshare is new one and if its any different from the stock.

If its the newer version than is it worth upgrading or should i wait for the custom ICS rom?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Yes we wait a CM7 based on 2.3.7 is coming soon n ICS is also OTW
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] :
I've suffered a horrible setback. My Ubuntu somehow corrupted my CM7 source on the HDD and I had to delete it but now it won't download properly or even ****ing build. I'm trying to fix that without formatting my Linux partition but things are being hard =\

I'll keep you guys posted once I can ****ing fix it.

Happy New Year all!

I've still not got my phone back yet, sadly. :( I guess Christmas time is the worst time to brick your phone... :rolleyes: I have however been working on putting together a device config for CM9. I'm abandoning working on CM7 for it completely, and will just focus on CM9. If some brave soul is interested in testing an early build, send me a pm and I'll provide a link for the download. I can't guarantee that it's risk free, but I think the chances for a brick should be minimal, as I've been careful not to use the same vold configuration as I used in CM7. I will also put the sources up on my github shortly.

I know nothing about this program, but for some it may work.

What do you mean here:

Can you connect your phone, powered on, by USB to your PC/laptop and issue adb commands to phone

from your previous post, adb not working on your set-up

like shown below:

My USB connected Laptop (W7) with Administrator Command Prompt running......

In Folder C:\Users\Donal\Desktop\Samsung Stuff\SuperOne latest\ADB

....coz that's where adb drivers are!!!

Issued commands:

adb shell [Shell lets you run an interactive shell (command prompt) on the Android device]

su [gives you Superuser access on your phone]

cd /data/local/tmp/ [brings you to the folder where Zergrush, etc lives

pwd [where are we, in what directory??]

ls -l [lists out what is contained in the tmp folder.

If you can do these adb things, the root should work

I'm ditching Ubuntu for good, since 10.04 the things has been giving me problems and I think that's also the case here..

Hi,

I also would like to know about the service mode feature.

I bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy W, but it is not connecting to the cellular network in my country (GSM 1800MHz, UMTS 850MHz). Does anyone know if the galaxy W is selling as a quad-band UMTS phone? In the Samsung Hong Kong website the specs show UMTS (850/900/1900/2100MHz); however in the Samsung UK it only shows UMTS (900/2100 MHz). Does this phone have a similar antenna design as the Galaxy S where the 850MHz band can be enabled/disabled by software via the service mode *#*#197328640#*#*? I tried it dialing this code but nothing happened.

Summary

Hello guys!

I'm pretty new at the forum, very interesting things I've read. Our phone... It's just wonderful! No complains...

So according to the forum, I would like to make a small summary, and hopefully some of you guys help me, now it's quite confusing what we are all doing.

1) Hopefully we get an own forum for our GT-I8150

2) ICS 4.0 seems to me that we will get it, via legally or via hackers... :P

3) The best way to root our phone is the Doomlord (personal experience, but if it do not works, is not my fault, is just my opinion.)

4) There is some problems with the flashes, and this is the confusing part, may be you guys can help, at this point what's our status, what is complete and what is not?

5) I read a very interesting topic, about the service code... If you guys know something about it, will be really good.

And last but no least... You guys use an app like a notification lights? I install the BLN app, which needs a rooted phone, but the flash is not comapatible, may be you guys can help me there...

Also, which apps or what have you done lately with your rooted phone to improve performance or just to play with it?

Thanks for your support!

Hi all! I just want to make completly sure so I'm gonna ask you a question. When are we expecting CM9 for i8150? Is it 1 week? 2? Or a month? Sorry but I'm not very patient :) I also have another question which is how to speed up Galaxy W? I know it has 1,4GHz processor so games like NFS:Shift should smooth but I have some lags. They appear quite often while racing so I wonder if there is a way to eliminate it. Anyways, THANK YOU very much.
