I have made my attempt, although I have not tested this either. I'm not sure about the idea though. Do you know which apps crash - e.g. are they the ones that are moved to SD, or the ones using Sd or any?

Eriks

Update: I have played with the phone and apps moved to sd. I did not use it for very long, but could not find any stability issues. I'm not sure ehat you mean by terminal in your post. Is it only one person who has problems? Might be bad SD?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zaku90:
but if i didnt swap, the resource pack for some games will go to /sdcard which is small... thats the main thing, so can i make the game and the resource pack to be put at the 16Gb external?

thanks in advance.. :D

by the way, i've tried the vold_fstab_all_to_external_sd_test1.zip, i cant move my apps or games to the SD, it says, SD is full..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eriksp:
The honest answer is - I do not know how to make it work. asec (partition where apps are stored when moved to SD) has been indeicated as enabled on the ecternal SD. I can only suggest to try clearing market and framework cache, which have helped me on other devices. Also you may try uninstalling the app in question and reinstall it from the market.

For my needs 1.7 GB of internal sd + about 800 MB of internal phone memory to store apps is sufficient, since their data is stored on external sd. I have swapped internal/external SD for my wifes needs and it is sufficient - she needs to use the phone, so I can not do any development or testing on it, sorry.

someone has Galaxy W drivers for Win XP and Win 7? I can not find them and my phone is blocked on the lock screen ever since I bought it. I do not remember the password. :( thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
I think if you install Kies it also installs the correct drivers, including ADB drivers.

Latest version here: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c.../20110512115717796/Kies_2.1.0.11095_121_6.exe

Thanks, but the phone is locked on the lock-screen and can't access the settings.I don't remember the password to sign.I'm trying to flash the fw with Odin but hangs on the message "Setup connection...". Com port is correctly displayed in the yellow box.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
I would like to know too, whether this is the european version. I am searching desperatly for a version with german language.

Could you explain how I can flash this file? I have done it once with ODIN, but there used to be diffrent files.

thanks for post anyway,

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] z4520ft:
just now i plug in my w to pc and receive notice vie Kies that latest update KJ3 are available but up till now the download always failed before it reaches 20% (3 times now). Thus can i assume the KJ3 posted in this thread is the same as the one that Kies offered? because in Kies it just mentioned something like Phone ~~KJ3 etc, not the full firmware name
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vdese:
These are a one package.2.3.5 is italian fw.should have a german language.you need to put the file in the box "pda" in Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
I guess you have an asian version. It should be the same version, but as far as I know this needs to be flashed via ODIN. And afaik this would delete all files on your Phone, so I would rather wait and try later again. Maybe it is a server issue.

Thanks for the hint. But when I select the .md5-file as PDA i get the message: "Invalid image type".

And when I continue the process it gets aborted with the message "an unnamed file was not found" .

I am using ODIN Multi Download v.4.43

EDIT:

I think I fixed the Problem. I needed an OPS-File. I used the one which I had from the chinese version.(Android 2.3.5) And selected the MD5-file under the One Package option.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] z4520ft:
thanks for post, i just started to flash when i encountered that error.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vdese:
and has worked with ops file of the Chinese fw(ZSKI3) and md5 file of the italian fw (XXKI8)?I'm stuck on the message "setup connection..." with Odin 1.83

p.s

have you Win 7 or Xp?

Yes. I have uploaded for you ODIN Multi Downloader v.4.43 and the OPS-File

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nakTT:
Hi guys,

New to Android here. Great that finally I have found thread talking about Galaxy W (mine was KJ5 firmware) in technical way.

Anyway, here is my situation. Yesterday while I was deleting stock apps (using root) based on one guy list, I think I may have deleted some of the important apps. One that I can think of is "touchwiz30launcher.apk". After rebooting my phone, I cannot get to home screen, only manage to get to samsung logo.

Some people advice me to flash it using a stock ROM (I8150ZSKI3), which I believe is older than what in my phone). Nevertheless I proceed. Before proceed I go to recovery mode (per some people advise) and delete cache and wipe.

After that I proceed with flash using stock ROM (I8150ZSKI3) with ODIN 4.38. Sadly it fail to flash and when I restart my phone, it display this message:

"Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

I have done per the message advise but to no avail as the phone can't seem to be able to connect to Kies.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
LMAO ^^

Use the latest ODIN 4.43(click here), than it should work.

Just use the EXE-File.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nakTT:
I have tried to open the link but I can't seem to find download button.

Please advice.

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
My advice, click the download-button.^^ It's big, green and "DOWNLOAD" ist written on it.

Maybe refresh :-p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nakTT:
Thanks for the new link, it works.

Finally I managed to flash my beloved W. Thanks so much.

BTW, anyone know where can I download KJ5 (the latest one, which was the one in my W) version of stock firmware?

Thank you again.

Again the OPS-file of the chinese 2.3.5 release can be used to install via ODIN v.4.43 which I have uploaded and posted in one of the previous posts.

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jamidodger1:
You could try MyBackup Root, this can backup all apps + their data, and your data e.g Call log, contacts, sms's etc...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Yes it will remove your root, but you can root it again with superoneclick or zergrush.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
Yes root will be removed, but can be easily regained with the oneclick-method from zergRush.

The update usually does not remove the apps if you use the One Package method with the PDS-file which you have already downloaded for the previous update.

But to be on the safe side, you should backup everything what is important and possible to backup.

Welcome in advance ;-)

Hi qzem...

thank you for your efforts so far.

As a noob to Samsung, I am puzzled as to what exactly ODIN is, what it does, where to get it, how it works, etc, etc.

Is there a guide here on XDA, or elsewhere, which may answer some of my questions?

So far, I have rooted OK, but I also need to get my i8150 Network Unlocked, as the one I got was a present from my son, and is locked to another Network.

I have checked with *#7465625# and it is showing Network Lock [ON]

All other locks are showing [Off].

I was thinking of downloading the SRS Samsung Unlock Client from here:

http://www.unlocksamsungonline.eu/unlocksamsung/I8150

It costs €14.47, which seems OK to me.

Has anyone got any experience of this procedure, as I would be prepared to do it OK, and have already d/led the SRS client, which supports our phone.

Is this a good idea, or should I wait?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
Oh hai there mate! :) I still have the Tattoo, but needed something faster and more modern, and this phone seemed like a good choice taking the price into account.

Good news - I have clockworkmod recovery working now. It just needs to be tested a little before release.

I'm not sure it it's worth spending time now working on CM7. Better concentrate on CM9/ICS I think.

I'm sorry I didn't answer your post sooner. As far as unlocking phone to all networks 14$ seems pretty cheap price. About Odin you can search it here on xda,thera are threads about this. I can providu u download link tommorow and if you'll need I can explain a little bit how you can use it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
@qzem ;)

tku very much, I would appreciate that. (ODIN)

As regards the unlock site, it means downloading their s/w, where you can log on to their server, which does support our device.

You buy credit, which gives you username/pw to log in once.

It would be about $19 (US) btw, and rising, as the Euro drops like a stone :p

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
Bad news. I managed to brick my phone after doing some changes to the sd card config for CyanogenMod building. I had the rom up and booting, there was a message about possible corrupt sd card, and when I rebooted the phone was dead. And when I mean dead, it's really dead. Can't turn it on or enter download or recovery mode at all. A developer for the Galaxy S Plus also bricked his phone while doing sd card changes as well. So it seems that Android does some very bad things if the sd card config is not correct, at least on these phones. I'm not sure if I will have the nerves to continue developing on this phone when I get it back from service. One wrong move and it might get bricked again. I'll probably would need some way to bring it back to life again myself, if I were to continue developing on it. And that means getting a JTAG device like the RiffBox.
