Is it possible to put the phone in download mode? If the answer is yes, then reflash it usin Odin.

ok but the roms that i find on the net are broken or not with bootloader csc and the other files usually just one of them ... can u link me a working rom ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PaulTT:
Your phone is plain GT-S5690 or GT-S5690M or GT-S5690L? Anyway, the XCover cannot be flashed with one file firmware. You will need a flashable package that will contain three files (PDA/MODEM/CSC). You will find these flashable versions of the stoock Samsung firmwares here:

Root Xcover and ROM Upgrade

First of all thank you tlc76. (sa ne traiesti 1000 de ani fara reparatii capitale). Also phone bought from Orange RO

The big issue with this phone is that it has very little phone storage and with Facebook app, Twitter App, Gmail app there where only 10Mb of space left, so no more update, extremly slow phone etc.

OBS: To free up space, after rooting install Link2sd from play store, give it superuser permission and start moving your apps to SD card. Be carefull what you move or remove (you also have this uption) because you can brick you phone!

@tlc76 i am a linux developer and didn't manage to find the key for those hashes for unlocking, for me is not suck a pressing matter.

The big question is this: Can we get a newer version of android on it? Will it work (with or without overclock). And how about a custom ROM more optimized (for speed of course)?

Again many thanks to tlc76 and all the people that helped here. :highfive:

Keep up the good work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frettosaurus:
Great!

Hi Guys,

Been reading for a while here and decided to root my Xcover!

Hell Yeah it works. Had no problems and moved some apps that were unmoveable before.

No I need to read myself in on what I now can do extra? Does somebody have a link with that kind of information or just the right information because there are to much differences to find.

All Thumps Up for TLC!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cb5264:
Sitting here with a GT-S5690 too; as far as I can see, there is no 'safe' way to get things rooted/flashed. Any chance to see an alternative firmware here in the near future or a way to 'dejunk' the phone?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThunderWolf78:
I have one of these as my work phone, it works ok but I can't say I'm too happy about it only running Gbred and TW on top of that, memory is low as has been mentioned.

I guess since it's such a low standard phone there's no chance for cwm or something like that huh?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SpiderCrow:
Hi!

Results report:

I had problems in first try, then, reading and looking my phone, I saw that my cel phone is a GT-S590L with an "L", then I modified the script file how explain previusly:

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5690L" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5690L"

And then worked!

If anybody can create a new script with all xcover models would be great!

Hardbricked S5690

Flashed the tlc76 update, everything went fine. Booted the phone a couple times after that and suddenly it died. Doesn't work with another battery, doesn't go into download mode, nothing. Tried jigging the USB-connector to no avail.

Any suggestions? Could it be a hardware failure, as I had no signs of a bad flash or anything. It just died suddenly upon power off.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 870deans:
i purchased a jig that works on many samsung phones including s2, galaxy mini e.t.c but not my xcover. if youve bricked yours and download mode deosent work try using adb recovery boot and youll have to google how as i dont know but read somewhere that mite work if your pc or laptop still recognises your phone.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

this is the method i chose and believe to be the simplest and best over at the developers thread there are different versions of the universal root and unroot tool and also zip files that can be used from stock recovery to free up space on the system before rooting to avoid bricking. i.e quick office uninstall from stock recovery.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xkawer:
Easy Rooting / Speeding up

Try email.filtering's KERUK. Just an update.zip for rooting, it is pretty 'safe'. After that, you can 'dejunk' with Link2SD, and by creating a second ext3-partition on the SD and linking with Link2SD, you will never have storage problems again.

Someone on XDA mentioned it is not possible with the current kernel. But I tried the Seeder app, and it certainly speeds up my xcover! Extreme Road trip for example was unplayable, and now I get enjoyable framerates. Everything runs smoother.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 870deans:
free up space on system before root!

I've seen many people saying my phone stuck at boot logo most important is to clear space on system before using the universal gingerbread root if you Google search universal gingerbread root you will find the thread on xda and the galaxy cover is supported have a read through it first if you don't know what your doing.

S5690 very slowly

Hi all,

Sorry for my bad English.

I do not know if I'm on the right thread but here's my problem:

I just bought the Xcover S5690. It works very slowly. Before I had a Motorola Defy Mini and it worked much faster. For example, the game "Rayman Jungle Run" is unusable on the S5690.

After several attempts and several forums, I can not find an answer.

With adb, I watched the cpuinfo:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Is it the same with you?

What is the explanation?

Overclocking (1GHz) is finally done: http://www.droidevelopers.com/f338/14447-[kernel]-1ghz-kernel-gt-s5590m.html

A newer version should actually be possible (hardware is enough, similar to old Nexus S, which has JB). Somebody just has to make it by himself. I also looked into this a bit, it should be possible. Maybe I will try it in march, when all the exams are gone :D Or we should contact Team Hacksung.

@Troubourt: Do you have the latest Firmware (XXLL1 for me)? It's much faster since then. Also I don't know if you can compare BogoMIPS to MHz yet, Wikipedia says not enough information for conversion on ARM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Troubourt:
Can you tell me where can i download XXLL1, i can't find it :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xkawer:
http://downloads.k0k0.de/index.php?dir=MobilePhones/Devices/Samsung/GT-S5690/OS/

with CSC DBT, but if you flash with Odin CSC should be irrelevant. I don't know if there is another firmware for wherever you are
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Troubourt:
Thank you I'll try that
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Troubourt:
It was the same with XXLL1 firmware, another idea ? What is your bogomips value ?

And now I have another problem. I can not download some applications under "google play" (angry birds).

I think this is due to the value of "ro.sf.lcd_density = 160" file build.prop.

I tried to set the value to 240, and S5690 only reboot now! ... help! :(

I understand that, the charging time is between 5 and 6 hours.

Can you guys confirm this?

Is any thread on what we can do to charge the tablet fastest?

My 10.1 tablet (wifi only) will come in 1-2 days, and i did not know the tablet have such a big time to charge.

I will try also to change the stock rom, any advice please?

Thanks in advance..i will appreciate.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coffeebeans:
5 to 6 hours sounds about right for a full charge, probably closer to 5 hours. The battery has a large capacity so it's going to take a while to charge from empty. As far as ROMs go if you want an Android 3.2 ROM Galaxy Task or Overcome are popular, if you want Android 4.0 there are some CM9 ICS alpha releases that you could try.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] split2th:
Lol. Mine probably takes 5 hours charging from 40%. No worries though, slow charging is better for the battery. Also keep in mind this battery is about 5 times bigger than an average smartphone battery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeshmha:
slower the better

it gives me around 4-5 hours of charging from 1 % left. i prfer it discharging full

then charging
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrix_19:
4 ½ to 5 hours from 0 to 100 %

It's not a problem. You just have to charge it while you are sleeping
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darktyroll:
Thanks all, the time is big anyway, lets look to xoom, it have 2-3 hours max to a full charge, and others too, 3 hours. Ah..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] general1977:
That is not healthy for a lithium polymer battery. I only do this once in a while to recalibrate the battery reading.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
Hi folks!

How would you like to design a boot animation for MiniCM7? The CM one looks kind of boring after all that time ;)

Requirements:

- Should be cool :)

- Should have mdpi and ldpi version

Let's use this thread for suggestions or possible applicants.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] _Sparks:
Great, I wanted a change too.

I would say it should be not heavy and so not too much animations as it won't run smoothly, or in the other hand any level of animation as long as it is smooth. This is because whenever I use some other good animations it freezes and is slow.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
If I had more time...

That's odd; I was on the way to pick up my son from nursery (I do most of my thinking on the walk to and from there) and thought that I could offer to make you a boot animation for MiniCM7. Funnily enough I wasn't sure if you'd be put off by the idea and wanted to stick to pure CM.

Trouble is I don't really have any time to spare at the moment; I'll watch this thread and see what other users come up with and maybe offer something different in the future when I'm more organised.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rapunzel11:
A cool picture with an animated progress bar at the bottom could be nice. But I'm not sure that this could be realized. Because the booting time of MiniCM has to be recognized and shown on a graphical way.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Can't do progress bars; has to loop. You can chain sets and the final one loops; (like the CM one, things enter in the first set and then in the second set the arrow loops round).

Also there's a guide recently created on one of the XDA discussions but anyone who's extracted the CM boot animation can work it out without
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
better than a progress bar, it can just be a looping bar :) (no need to know anything, just looping the animation until it has booted completely :)

a simple glowing nAa logo could be cool too

i was thinking of an anim : the two things on the side of the logo (nAa) could come, then the middle displays nAa (turns from deep black to logo), and then it glows (looping)

(the circle with "freedom within stays the same all the time)​

and for the kernel booting, a simple "sorry ericsson" with kernel build

i'll to draw what I mean :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Yep that would work; a Knightrider type left to right animation would look cool too!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] n1kolaa:
will be good to change it :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yomiguy:
wowww!!! i'm excited with all this brainstorm!!! however my head is empty of ideas right now... I'll go to bed and I hope to dream about some good animations for tomorrow!!

first, sorry for poor quality and alignment problems : got some issues with gimp :p

this is just a simple wish :)

here is the boot up anim overview:

- starting part

- looping part

the glowing part could be reddish... i don't know but that could be nice maybe :)

of course, that's not nAa kernel but nAa miniCM :p

and the shutdown one? (if possible?)

many thx to DaRk_dOg for giving me the layers :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
I was meaning to ask; does 'freedom within' hold any particular meaning?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
I had thought it was because this kernel/rom frees us from the stock software and sony's so called hardware limits, but I am wondering myself too if there's a specific to the freedom within line.

Very much like this idea for a bootanimation
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TheMiltos21:

White flashes on loops and folder changes in boot animation

Folks, I hope someone can help me. I've been trying to finish off a couple of boot animations but for some reason I'm getting white flashes when the animation loops and also when the folder changes in boot animation.

Comparing this with another boot animation I've built there are no discernible differences yet the other doesn't have this problem. I've looked on other threads and haven't been able to resolve it myself.

Has anyone else come across this problem and been able to fix it???

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

Solved, the white flashes were hidden files that were getting included in the zip. I feel a little silly as it was quite obvious... Anyone else with this problem I hope you read this first before jumping through hoops like I did!

The Dark Night

for matmutant who love dark side :D

below the bootanimation.zip, it just 1.01Mb. Try it. It so elegant. Haha...

OK mates, that's all my contributions. I have designed the logo and hope you like it. You can play with the logo and create your own bootanimation. I attach the vsd, Microsoft Visio 2010. Yes, I create it in visio (the logo) :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
hehe :)

thank you,

I like it :)

I was thinking about something:

many people prefer coloured version, since that, what about starting it in the dark way and them lighting it more like a neon ? (quicker)

and for the loop part a slow and quiet glow (not from dark to coloured, but from a little darker to a little lighter :) )

boot animation sounds

Hey, has anyone tried adding sounds to their boot animation?

Does this work on our devices?

I've seen two ways of doing this but they are both for different devices. Firstly here:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/22605-how-to-add-sound-to-a-boot-animation-start-up-tutorial/

and the other, seemingly simpler, method:

adding an s line to desc.txt

240 320 15

p 1 0 draw

s annoyingnoise.mp3

p 0 0 fade
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tom.K:
Please, don't add boot animation sounds, as it would be very annoying in cases of re-booting a lot of times, even when it bootloops/crashes back to reboot.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Any part of a boot animation could be ill conceived and I hear your concern as getting sound wrong could be terrible however many electronics have very polished startup sound/animation combinations and the option shouldn't be ruled out entirely.

EDIT: besides boot looping only loops the looping part of the boot animation; i.e. an initial sound in the first part wouldn't get repeated.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tom.K:
I meant looping part as in that phone gets unstable and reboots by itself, or I've misunderstood. I have seen how bootanimation sound works from GingerDX, and I tried to avoid the sound in the middle of class. :X

Still.. If you are already planning some sound, it shouldn't be loud. For your bootanimation you would probably add chalk sound, I guess.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackkzero:
