F.A.Q. And Flashing Guide

Before You proceed: take a notice, and record your original (in case you are on original stock fw) firmware levels by typing *#1234# and PCODE by *2767*4387264636#. This might be helpful if you want to go back to your original in-box firmware.​

Check WHITE-CZ's video tutorial on the boot mode selection hints!

- download the required firmware bundle

- install Kies, or Samsung driver pack

- unzip the package, You'll get 3 *.tar (or tar.md5) files

- download Odin3 1.85 or 1.85 + Pit

- stop Kies

- stop all active ADB sessions

- start odin

- do backup of your data and apps

- charge your SGY at least 75%

- remove SGY Duos from USB or charger

- start the pone in Download mode

- Browse the 3 tar files to odin PDA=PDA_xxxx.tar, PHONE=MODEM_ or PHONE_xxxxx.tar, CSC=CSC_xxxxx.tar

- no PIT and/or BOOT files required - leave it empty!

- leave all other fields and checkboxes default!

- connect your phone, You must see yellow 0:[COMxx] in the first ID:COM and "Added" in the message box

- Start flashing by the START button.

- flashing will start immediately, see the progress in the message box, and progress bar on the phone

- Wait 1-3 minutes, until green PASS! in the upper left

- SGY Duos will reboot, leave it as is for 2-5 minutes until startup finishes

- if it stuck (eg boot anim loop) then:

- Start the phone in Recovery mode

- select wipe data/factory reset (Vol UP/Down + Home)

- select reboot system now

When Android boots up, it's highly recommended to set your CSC via the dialer *#272*_your_imei_# (to see IMEI type *#06# in dialer) -> (it will erase all your data on the phone, but not the SD card)

F.A.Q.

Q: Flashing any firmware to my phone will erase the network lock?

A: NO. The network (or SIM) lock still remain active. By flashing firmware you can't deactivate the lock. It's stored elsewhere.

Q: Flashing an operator specific firmware will restrict my open phone to that operator's network?

A: NO. Your phone still remain open for any SIM. Operator specific builds usually containing "only" bloatwares, wallpapers and/or browser settings, etc...

Q: Is it possible to update the PDA or MODEM only

A: Yes, You can update any one component independently if you have a good reason for, but remember: recommended to have consistent components

Q: Where is the bootloader tar and pit file?

A: those are not used for a Kies like update. You can find totoro*.pit and bootloader in other S5360 firmware bundles, and use if you really need it, but not necessarily needed for flashing

Q: Do I need to tick repartition?

A: NO! Leave all check-boxes as default!

Q: Really??? Do not tick repartition?

A: REALLY, I told You! Leave it unticked!!! ...And leave bootloader empty as well! COPY THAT?!?!?!

Q: Will Odin increase my custom bin counter flashing these packs?

A: No. Custom bin counter increased in case, when you flash non-stock firmware. Bundles provided here are all stock files.

Q: Wipe vs Non wipe packs?

A: Wipe pack has been build including an empty userdata partition, that way flashing a wipe pack will erase your user data.

Usually wipe packs has less issues after flashing,.......

Q: I've got no issues in the past with non wipe packs. I want to flash new firmwares by having my data untouched. Can I modify wipe pack to non wipe pack?

A: Yes: Rename PDA*.tar.md5 to *.tar, then remove the userdata.img file! Don't forget to backup, because non wipe packs sometimes leads you to boot loop, and the solution is wipe data/cache.
