==>THIS IS AN OUTDATED PHONE AND THE LINKS/FILES BELOW MAY OR MAY NOT BE THERE ANYMORE<==

!!SEE POST #2 BELOW FOR LINKS

Frequently Asked Questions:

1- "Flash with CUSTOM RECOVERY (TWRP/CWM)" : If you still have the stock recovery, download and use Daver18qc's Root Kit Below to install a custom recovery from the CUSTOM RECOVERIES header in post #2.

2- "Flash with ODIN" :

ODIN is inside Daver18qc's Root Kit *With Detailed Instructions*

below.

3- "Push with ADB" : You need to download and install Android's Development Kit and then refer to the small tutorial below !

4- If you've got problems with ODIN or ADB, make sure that you have USB Debugging Enabled under

Settings > Developer Options.

--Make sure you have only 1 device showing in ODIN (Only 1 little square filled at the top-left)

--Also make sure Kies.exe is not running on the computer!

5- There are custom ROMs, such as CyanogenMOD 10 and 11, OmniROM 4.4, and more. There is no Lollipop ROM just yet, though it is slowly being worked on. A lot of work is needed to update our device code for Lollipop. You can find links to different custom ROMs for our device in post #2.

6- There is

NO

free method to UNLOCK SIM yet.

7- If you want to flash any deodexed rom with a custom recovery, you must first flash the complete corresponding ROM from SamMobile.

That means deodexed Guatemala need to be flashed over Guatemala, not over Panama or Canada.

Same goes for deodexed Australia.

8- If you get a Yellow warning triangle on boot after flashing something, use TriangleAway to remove it and reset the flash counter to 0. (On the page, use the provided TriangleAway apk file available for download at the bottom of the first post)

9- Flashing a ROM from Guatemala or Australia

will not change your service provider

, you will stay with Bell/Koodo/Rogers even if these companies don't exist in Guatemala.

10- Sometimes when flashing ROMS, your carrier will show as "

Bell

" even though you are on

Virgin / Solo

, this is normal as these are 2 sub-companies of Bell.

11- When you flash

ANYTHING

with a custom recovery, be sure to Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache (advanced menu) before rebooting.

12- For

ANY kind of flashing

from a Windows computer, you will need the Samsung USB Drivers first and foremost, before doing anything else. If you're on Linux/Ubuntu, install Heimdall and search for tutorials for how to use it on XDA or Google.

13- If you have the

Galaxy Trend GT-S7560 and CWM freezes while flashing a custom rom

, then re-cook the rom inside the Kitchen with these tweaks:

For galaxy trend s7560

When building rom in kitchen, select Interactive Mode(1). after zipaling;

1. edit META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in working folder and change " format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16"); " to " format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16", "0", "/system"); "
2. extract cm11 for ace 2x and replace META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary from cm11 to your rom
