I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone if you flash this file to your phone.

Updated to Cwmod recovery version 6.0.3.2 for GT-S500L

I recommend you use heimdall to flash it.

I don't recommend to use odin, but I packaged it to be flashable with odin anyway . It seems some people have problems with odin YMMV.

I recommend to use heimdall

In the attachments is the original recovery.img so you can revert to stock if you want.

Bugs:

Power button is the only one that works to select current option

Requirements:

Linux:

p7zip

heimdall

Windows:

7-zip

heimdall or odin

How to install :

Using heimdall:

Linux:

Unpack it

1)7z e cwmod-GT-S7500L.zip

2)7z e cwmod-GT-S7500L.tar.md5 ; you will get file recovery.img

You could also use unzip then rename to just .tar then extract recovery.img using tar

Flash it

1) put phone in download mode

2) connect phone to pc

3) heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img or heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img

Windows :

1)unpack zip file to get tar.md5 file then again to get recovery.img

2) put phone in download mode

3) connect phone to pc

I guess is the same command in command line

4) heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img

Using Odin: (You should be using heimdall)

Unpack zip file to get cwmod-GT-S7500L.tar.md5

1) Put phone in download mode

2) Run Odin, connect the phone to PC

3) Click on 'PDA' and choose the 'cwmod-GT-S7500L.tar.md5' file

4) Press the Start Button, wait for reboot.

Corsario_Negro for odin section and testing
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Corsario_Negro:
I saw your post in the Gellybread ROM thread. I was gonna ask you which CWM were you using until I saw this.

I'm a Windows user, so I'll try to flash this with Odin and report back.

Sent from my GT-S7500L
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
Ok, could you tell me how you use odin? so I can update odin section.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Corsario_Negro:
The procedure should be

1) Put phone in download mode

2) Run Odin, connect the phone to PC

3) Click on 'PDA' and choose the 'cwmod-GT-S7500L.tar.md5' file

4) Press the Start Button, wait for reboot.

UPDATE: IT WORKED!! No bootloop, no black screen.

Thank you so much for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ctcx:
This CWM looks promising!

Just one question, can someone try installing it via S7500L's stock recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] alomex21:
screenshot?

does not work, I have white screen
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Corsario_Negro:
Why would you want to do that, when you can use Heimdall or Odin?

See attachment below.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
To: alomex

Did you used Odin? Did you flashed it and doesn't boot to cwmod?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] alomex21:
I followed the instructions by odin, i already flashed twice, but just a white screen, i will try keep doing it
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] lequinho1974:
You unzipped the file?

To install have to use the file inside that folder zip

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

This working on my 7500L

thankssss!!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] alomex21:
i know what im doing i flashed three times, i readed the instruction but is still not working... could be the boot.img?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Corsario_Negro:
Could be. Which ROM are you using?

I'm using S7500LVJLK1 (Argentina, Dec 2012)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
Try something else then, 3 times is a lot, install heimdall go to http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/ scroll down a bit and youll see the download links then try to flash recovery.img with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ctcx:
I don't trust Odin that much (the author himself agrees with it here), and I have never used Heimdall, even when I'm Linux user. I just felt safer by copying the CWM file to the phone and using stock recovery to apply the update.

By the way, my base band version is S7500LVJLA5, I'm still in total stock (no custom CWM, no custom ROM). Do you think it could work on mine?

And what Heimdall version should I use? It's said 1.3.2 broke compatibility...
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
Try with 1.3.1, binaries are already created and is what the dev recommends.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] TheWhisp:
I'm interested, what's this fix_reboot.sh? Could you paste its contents here?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
It is a shell script that fix the boot loop of cwmrecovery in this device.

go here for context http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1674667&page=4 start at post #38

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Corsario_Negro:
While I've never had a problem with Odin in the last 4 years, you make an interesting point.

I'll give Heimdall a try sometime in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ctcx:
I know this is a bit offtopic, by have you, Elruki or Corsario_Negro, tried TheWhisp's CM 10 or 10.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Corsario_Negro:
I haven't. There are some pretty big things that aren't supported yet, like Bluetooth or the camera. I need those.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] alomex21:

i got the s7500lvjlb3 chile, entel pcs rom: gellybread v1 ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] alomex21:
okay?

theres a solution?? of my problem anyway??:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
What problem? You still can not flash recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sonartica:
Weird. Getting the same white screen. Flashed with Odin

Greetings.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
Try with heimdall, I do not recommend odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sonartica:
Weird thing again...

Heimdall asks for a tar.gz file. Even though when I have decompressed the zip file.

Maybe is a noob stuff, but I need to be sure.

Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
I don't know, I always flash the recovery.img directly, heimdall has never asked for a tar.gz file.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sonartica:
Flashed with heimdall directly, again blank screen :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
What is wrong with your phone?

Do you get a blank screen when you try to boot into android or do you get a blank screen when you try to boot into cwmod recovery?

If you get a blank screen when booting into android you may need to flash a working ROM or a working boot.img

If you get a blank screen when booting into cwmod recovery you need to flash a working recovery

Do the following to get a working cwmod recovery

I included the original recovery.img in the attachments. download it

unzip the original-recovery.zip file so you get the recovery.img

run this command: heimdall print-pit , you will get a descriptions of all the partitions in your phone,

look for Flash Filename: recovery.img, above that line is the Partition name: in my phone is RECOVERY

run the command : heimdall flash --YOURPARTITIONNAME recovery.img , you should be able to boot into stock recovery.

You can try again with cwmod recovery.img

run command: heimdall flash --YOURPARTITIONNAME recovery.img, if you can boot to cwmod , you can flash gellybread-rom it includes also a boot.img, make sure to check the ROM thread if you have trouble installing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sonartica:
Used the steps you mentioned before, also the recovery.img on the zip you posted and still getting the blank screen when entering on CWM.

The weird stuff is that when I flash CWM 5.X.X.X (I write X because I don't remember the exact numbers) it works fine.

But I need the latest version so I can flash TheWisp CM10.1

Greetings.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] alomex21:
So i think this is a bug maybe?

I updated to v6.0.3.2 try with the new version.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sonartica:
Flashed the new version. Still getting the blank screen.

Suspecting my phone is ****ed up. Can't be all of you wrong.

Greetings.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
Sorry it does not work for you, what is wrong with the cwm v5 ? do you get a bootloop? , if so you can use heimdall to get off the bootloop after using cwm , I used this trick when using cwm v5, just remove the battery, wait a little , go to download mode, flash the cwm recovery again, heimdall will boot the phone, tiresome if you use cwm a lot but is better than nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sonartica:
Well, according to ctcx, I need to use the CWM 6 to flash TheWisp CM10.1.

I'll try flashing TWRP in order to do so, since CWM 6 doesn't work for me.

Greetings.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ctcx:
Look, if I didn't explain myself correctly before, I apologize. What I said is, first of all we needed a working CWM for our L variants. If CWM 5 works for you, GIVE IT A TRY.

Though it's hell frustrating recent CWM doesn't seem to work, though Elruki and Corsario_Negro are the only ones I've seen so far to confirm it works. Wish there were more L users to confirm.....
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] evandromon:
I did with Odin and worked with me.

Thanks for the post.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ctcx:
Corsario_Negro, elruki, or anyone else in this thread, someone has already the yellow triangle?

I'll tell why I'm asking this later, only if more than one replies... or if ever $&/! cares...
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
I have the yellow triangle , I think you get it when you flash a custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sonartica:
Yup, you get it when the phone detects that you're using a custom ROM. There are some applications (Haven't tried or looked, since the yellow triangle doesn't bother me) that get rid of the triangle.

Greetings
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] alomex21:
it worked!!!!!

after flashing some kernel it finally worked and it looks amazing! i approved this one!:victory::victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ctcx:
Actually I think the yellow triangle is because of rooting the phone. Not all the users here in the community have the yellow triangle (AFAIK), and in my case, my previous phone was a Galaxy Ace S5830L and I installed CWM and CM7. It went with no problems, and never showed yellow triangle. And CM roms come pre-rooted, so we don't have to root it previously.

[MENTION=4855618]alomex21[/MENTION]: Excellent! Now you go! Sonartica wasn't able to install CWM 6 and we don't know why, though Freddavin was able indeed.

But now that Alomex21 mentions it, this could be bad news for us L users... For those who don't know, TheWhisp's CM10 is not working for us, no booting (see TheWhisp's thread). I was suspecting of the yellow triangle, that's why I actually asked, but now, could it be that L users need to flash another %&%$/ kernel in order to make CM10 to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] alomex21:
Thank for mention me! Now the kernel i flashed was the infra@sei-30, after that everything went perfect! Today was a good day :D

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sonartica:
How did you do to install CWM 6? Because I couldn't. Could you please post the steps in order to do so? Thanks...

Greetings.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] alomex21:
Well i first started by flashing the latest stock firmware and then i test the gellybread rom and AFTER THAT i flashed by odin and worked! So yeah...

i've got the white screen issue after flashing recovery.img

can you help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
That version works for me, did you flash it using Heimdall? are you using gt-S7500L?, gt-S7500 and gt-S7500L are not compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] mamece2:
i confirm this method doesnt work for GT-S7500L
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] elruki:
Sorry ; I don't know what could be the problem. It's been a while since I flashed this on my phone, it worked using heimdall. I do not recomend odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phazingazrael:
This may sound wired but it's true, when I rotate my phone to play any games or anything else the screen always rotates the opposite way it was turned so that my screen is always upside down unless in portrait mode and is quite annoying.

Any help is greatly appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Evilone69tmg:
Did you flash a custom kernel not made for your phone (Verizon,T-Mobile,etc)? This is the only time I have heard of this problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Yeah exactly what he said. Flashing a Verizon kernel will do that.

[Android General] the_ape:
Got 2 H's and they NEED a real rom!
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Good. Now that their are 2 testers, I guess I need to get to work. :)
[Android General] the_ape:
That's great, thanks. Anything I can help with just shout, I'm not averse to a bit of tinkering myself.

Got it rooted etc, don't suppose there is a CWM lurking anywhere for them is there? also the LAG on them is incredible, but I notice that tasks that aren't in foreground are still running full bore, and still have access to the audio etc (accidentally launched a game, just pressed home and noticed that it's music was still playing even when not foreground).

I'm going to pull the build.prop and have a look, but surely there's some quick win tweaks that could be applied?
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
I do know of several tweaks to help out the lag. I'm going to get started on cooking up v1 of the rom in just a bit. I'll be adding init.d tweaks to help. I'll post a list of changes so it can be tweaked more if needed. THere is a CWM, give me a few and I'll get it posted.
[Android General] the_ape:
Got it cwm'd up, work out the way to boot to it too. I did try another rom that I found, but it still lagged badly on video playback, the audio and vid are massively out of sync, Linda looks like the audio engine hasn't got enough process priority.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
Good. Glad you have CWM now. I'll be doing a release for the A2107A-F tomorrow sometime, so V1 will be out for the A2107A-H Wednesday.
[Android General] the_ape:
Thanks, I'm having a dig about, don't spose you know where Lenovo hide the Kernel source do you?
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
It's not available to my knowledge. Be nice to have though.
[Android General] makbro:
The kernels can be accessed by unpacking "boot.ini", followed by "zImage" file...

I have the extracted kernels of Stock, Chinese, Foxtrot_v100 and LeWa ROMs for A2107A-H version...Moreover I have already uploaded the extracted kernels of Chinese and Foxtrot_v100 custom ROMs here :-

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/wxtznlh09q...127zOlOjBVvlqapcwUOCZ38i7819hWvS7zsU_DUw&dl=1
[Android General] the_ape:
That's great, thanks. I actually meant the source though, get rid of some of the 'reference' stuff from mediatek and perhaps get some decent schedulers etc into it. There's only so much that can be done hacking it.

If anyone finds it then let me know.
[Android General] ShilohDaniel:
In the process of building V1 right now. Going to be interesting since I don't have an H model to try it out before uploading it.
[Android General] makbro:
It's there inside "zImage unpacked" folder as "kernel.img" :)
[Android General] the_ape:
That's not the source code, I mean the C++ source code, I.e. uncompiled. The image file is the binary.
[Android General] makbro:
You are right in saying that it's not the C++ source code, it's the raw kernel image...However, I believe the files inside the "zImage unpacked" sub-folder (piggy files) do have the source code in them...

I think tools like "cramfs" and "initramfs" can be used to unpack the piggy files and extract the source code...Am I correct ???

Thanx in advance !!!
[Android General] the_ape:
Not quiet ;)

[Android General] ssenemosewa:
It won't blow up your tablet.

Most modern devices limit the amount of current they'll draw from the charger. Think about it: If they didn't, then the battery would continue to charge even after it reached 100% and would eventually explode!

Think of the charger current rating in terms of capacity, as you would a bucket of water. A 2A bucket of water simply holds more than a 1.5A one, which means it has the capacity to supply more water when needed.

Theoretically, you could use a 10A charger with your tablet. The tablet would only draw the current it needs to operate and charge the battery.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] LAYGO:
Most definitely fake. I bought some that even said NFC on it & needless to say, it didn't work. Also, all the serial/model number info rubbed right off.

Now, as batteries with NO NFC, they did work. Probably 80% capacity of stock (on my Galaxy Nexus).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danibri82:
Has anyone seen anything recently that's halfway exciting?

I've really been impressed by the look of OttoNavi's offerings, but in my case, I have a 2013 Ford Mustang with the top level Shaker Pro stereo, but non-nav, as if I got the nav unit it would have meant I spent 4k on radio options alone.

The issue I have with the OttoNavi for example is that it runs an old OS (2.3.4) as well as old hardware (single core 1Ghz), but that's not too bad considering it would be used for nothing much past music, movies, and regular radio. Resolutions don't wow me either 1024x600. My Galaxy Note 2 does better.

The downer for me is that it doesn't work with the native Sirius/XM radio that my car has, nor does it work with Sync. I've also heard that it wouldn't work easily with my factory amp/sub at all. Also, I have the comfort package, which includes heated seats, and I see no way to maintain them w/out doctoring my own switches.

Anyone sniffing around in the same area have any insight?
