Flashing Galaxy 5 i5503/i5500 with usa froyo

Listen Guys Its too easy than it actually seems to be

I am now giving you complete details !

Read Carefully before you start.

Download this Flash file :

http://www.multiupload.com/UPKSVCZ7KU

Pass = samfirmware.com

Now download these two files :

Odin

http://www.multiupload.com/B12P3BJBE6

Ops file

http://www.multiupload.com/8RHO5C274Y

Installing the stuff :

1. Install samsung kies, connect usb and wait till your phone usb drivers are installed by kies and then you can browse the phone completely through kies.(Trust me do this !)

2. Close kies window and exit it through task bar.

3.Extract all the files, open odin and add ops file to it.

4. check "one package" on the mid left side of the odin.

5. now add the .tar in one package.

6. now switch off your phone, remove memory card and sim.

7 reconnect battery, with phone off hold volume down + Center Button(Not the home button,this is the button used for selection ) + end key(The button with which you switch on/off your phone) . Do not lose your grip while holding the buttons untill you get into the downloading mode

8. After Successful combination you would be seeing downloading mode.

9. now connect usb, wait till windows installs all the drivers, now go to odin, you'll see the com port mapping to turn yellow.

10. WARNING : Do not disconnect the usb connection with phone and computer/laptop here after.

11. Hit Start on odin, some sort of insane text will appear in text box of odin, this just is a signal of working of flashing process.

12. Just wait it will take upto 10 min max., mine took less than 5 min.

13. After some time of the flasing process the downloading mode will go off and the self installation of flash software will start working.

14. After a min. the phone will boot up and becomes ready to use.

15. After some time the odin will become blue and say pass.

16. Flashing Complete.

17. Perform Hard Reset, *2767*3855# - Hard Reset

18. After Boot only thing that will suck is the language, dont worry go to applications open the settings icon(Icon with a blue stearing), Go to the 5 option from last i.e the option with "A" icon, go to the 1st option, when opened select 1st option to select english. problem solved.

19. 1 more problem is that the default apn wont come into phone through which we can access internet, to solve this go to settings-> wireless and networks -> mobile network settings-> Access point names-> . Here press the options button(the button adjacent to home button) .select new apn, add information into this with help of your network provider, after entering details repress the options button and select save.

20 . That's All . You Are Done.

Whats The Risk ?

Nothing , flashing your phone doesnt void your warranty, if anything bad happens in the process there is nothing to worry, just locate a nearby samsung mobile repair shop to get the firmware reinstalled for free or contact me.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] maxidimov:
Then install the 2.2 beta one for the I5500L. :) The only bug is the compass showing inverted directions. :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] nikhilsamre:
there is no way to solve the compass problem? I mean what's the mechanism use to built a compass in the cellphone? Can't we tweak the settings?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] nikhilsamre:
can anybody tell me a better way to root my G5 running froyo.. Universal Androot doesn't work perfectly on my cell.

Any other simple way to do rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] graham_h:
Froyo has been working fine

However, I've put some mp3's om my micro sd and they refuse to play with any type of media player.

Not being a phone person I can only relate it to my PC experience of not having the necessary codecs installed.

Can someone please help with a solution

Thanks

Graham
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Petrica:
Copy all yours files to PC,Format your SD and copy back yours files on SD.Restart your phone and FroYo will read the MP3s.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] weirskynet:
There is an earlier post in this forum that tell you of the software with a link to download it that can be used to root froyo

hope you can find the link check the previous posts :p
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] paskalaut:
Hi all,

this is my first post in this forum. Just flash to froyo on my Galaxy 5 last week. So far so good. The only thing i want to know. Why is voice search not working. Is the flash player 10.1 not support with this firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] snkmad:
Strange Voice Search is working fine here.

Also Galaxy 5 doesn't support flash player 10.1, only flash lite.

I can't play some mp4 anymore. The ones i get from youtube work fine, but those i converted with tmpgenc express 4.0, gives an error, and they used to play fine on 2.1

I'll convert the original files again using any video converter.

hi,

end december.. still no 2.2 update with kies ? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] sjac89:
Ive tested all the roms on samfirmware and the best one so far is the i5500xxjf1, fast, stable, clean looking (none of that multicolour crap with the latin america froyo) and it has the 'mobile data off' option, i highly recomend it until froyo comes through on kies.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] maxidimov:

hi,

I just update the asian froyo firmware and my touchscreen does not work. But phone is a GT-I5503 which is the asian version. What gives?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] TimeTurn:
Did you flash the i5508-Update mentioned some pages before? With that, the touchscreen does not work 'cause it's dedigned for resistive touchscreens and not for capacitive like that of the i5500/i5503 - that was mentioned of some users who tried that.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] andho:
yeah that's what happened. All right.

Is it alright to flash the ROM too many times?

Is there anyone that has a firmware that can be updated through kies ?

my phone beying purchased from vodafone romania came with JI1/JG3/JI2 but i did not make any backup of that firmware.

or maybe is there a way to force flash your phone through kies to an official firmware ?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] jackhill:
2.2 caused me major headaches. Back on 2.1 now until the official release from Samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] kill3r000:
@myshu - pe prima pagina, in primul post, adica acesta http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8114467&postcount=1 apare o versiune de JI1? (accea sa fie http://www.multiupload.com/K7NCYKIWBY - si eu as avea nevoie, nu de alta :P)

on the 1st page, 1st post, meaning this... it looks like a JI1 vs.? (could that be... - i might need it also at some time in the nearest future :P)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] myshu:
the Ji2 firmware there is actually Ji1 JG3 Ji1

the Ji1 firmware there is actually Ji1 JG3 Ji3

The only difference is the CSC but thats region related i think.

The Ji1 comes with no trial games so thats a plus from me. Also it seems it has a menu option to turn of mobile internet. Starting to like this firmware version.

LE : Ji1 isn't able to enable my wi-fi it seems.

currently testing the south american 2.2 firmware. nothing wrong so far.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] qouet:
For eeryone use the usa froyo rom

THIS ROM IS FULLY WORKING (BT,GPS,SOUND,AND BATTERY)

Before the flashing you have many parameters for the ECLAIR (2.1). This parameters is not working with FROYO.

When you put the new firmware ODIN just replace partition. Many files and users params don't erase.

Please before flashin take a HARDRESET of your phone (go to samfirmware for code)

Flash your device with Odin.

Reboot your phone

IN FIRST TIME take à HARDRESET

wait for your phone reboot and enjoy

I have a I5500 i live in europe and use the I5500L firmware , no problem BT , No problem Battery , No problem GPS !

No problem :D

Try with gps application on the market (e.g.: SpeedView, Compass, many more...).

Are they show the right direction ?

Please reply your update ... thanks

I don't think the compass is something that you use daily, but it's better if it works correct. :D

NZ experience

I have upgraded my Samsung GT-i5503T to Froyo 2.2 (I5500LUYJP2) from Telecom NZ branded firmware (i5503ttnzjj3) and everything seems to be working fine (Camera, GPS pointing in right direction [from GPS Status app, wifi and mobile data)

Battery status from 'About' in settings is at 51% for about 5 hours uptime with heavy usage - GPS, WIFI on all the time and Youtube.

Thanks to all who have contributed to the thread, helped me immensely in changing my phones firmware.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to install clockworkmod on samsung galaxy 5. I tried with ROM manager and it cannot install.

Also is it okay to flash the ROM as many times as you want. I mean is there a limited number of writes, like on flash media (SD Card)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] andho:
My compass when I installed USA froyo firmware (mine is an asian phone) the compass turned when I turned my phone, that is, North changed. If I turned my phone clockwise, North turned anti clock wise but didn't stay in place....if you know what I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] andho:
Hi. I just installed this. I can find the setting to turn on gingerbread keyboard but when i use the keyboard the samsung keyboard still comes up.

I have 2.1 firmware. I ticked the gingerbread keyboard setting in the menu. Is there something else that i should do to make work.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Tekie:
I prefer better keybord because gingerbread one is too big in portrait mod and i can't see what I type... Better keyboard has just the right size (not too big but not too small). Another advantage of better keyboard is that it has a lot of options. If you want better keyboard you cand PM me ;)

Hello,

I am about to attempt the update to 2.2 using the USA firmware, from my New Zealand 2.1-update1 firmware.

Before I do it though I really want to backup my current firmware. I have seen questions about this throughout this thread, however I couldnt find any answer at all to the questions.

Is it possible to backup the current firmware to back out if this firmware is no good?

If not, there is any other way to get the standard firmware back again?

GT-I5503T

I5503TDOJJ3 build ERE27

2.6.29-perf

root@SE-S604 #1

I see that someone from NZ has already successfully updated to 2.2 from 2.1, so I am hopeful this will work fine, but still, I would like to know what my options are if its no good. Can it just be reversed?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] BarkyJ:
Couldnt wait - haha.

My wife has the same phone, so I will try and extract the default firmware from that, when I figure out how to.

Succesfully upgraded firmware to 2.2

I cant see anything so far that isnt working.

GPS works, but it does seems to point incorrectly. It rotates with your movement, rather than against it (if that makes sense). I think its just the compass really that is wrong, the GPS does show me being in the correct place.

Camera works, Music plays, Battery is still full at this stage. **EDIT** Went to bed with 44%, woke up with 42% - Had wifi and 3G/Data turned off overnight.

Loaded my google account back on and all my purchased apps are still there. Downloaded again no problem.

2.2 does seem quite a bit faster. I played Angry Birds on 2.1, and 2.2 is significantly faster, and no longer lags like it use to.

Oh and I have successfully rooted my device again, no issues there either. Used Universal Androot v1.6.2 Beta 5

GT-I5500L

I5500LUYJP2 build FROYO.UYJP2

2.6.32.9-perf

tyoon.hwang@SEP-04 #2

Android Version 2.2 :)

If you have a rooted version 2.1, remember to unroot before you upgrade to 2.2. I Did a hard reset before and after firmware upgrade too. Didnt have 1 problem at all.

Fingers crossed it stays that way - only issue I have found is the GPS being upsidedown and back to front.

I did a benchmark before and after. With 2.1 using Linpack I got a score of about 3.9 MFLOPS. With 2.2 I get 7.4 MFLOPS.

how to start or boot in safe mode for samsung galaxy 5 aka GT-I5500/I5503

Hello my fellow kontols....

Just in case one day you find difficulties in booting and reaching the home screen this is how you start in safe mode (safemode) for samsung galaxy 5 (GT-I5500/I5503):

Press the action button (the center black dpad key) and then pressing the power button. Do not release the dpad/action key until you have seen "safe mode" written on the bottom left corner of the screen.

I'm writing this for users who google "how to boot or start in safemode for samsung galaxy 5"
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] BarkyJ:
nitramgmartin - It will be due to your Access Points not being set up in the new Firmware. When I loaded it, it was blank for me. So I had to enter them manually.

Assess Points (APN) allow your phone to connect to the net using 3G etc, and also to send MMS (Pxt messages). You will need to get the settings for your country/provider and enter them manually.

i think we could update 2.1 to 2.2 thru kies with a regedit trick as done for Galaxy S (www androidauthority com index.php/2010/10/15/samsung-galaxy-s-rededit-trick-to-forece-froyo/) which suggests those steps:

* connect phone with kies mode

* open kies, wait until mount the phone

* press update button, it'll say "no-update available, you're on latest, bla bla..."

* open regedit,

* go to key, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\, then the largest number

* alter the “SoftwareRevision”, “ProductCode”, “HIDSWVER”, “DEVCONINFO” parameters.

* switch to kies the click to update

the values are

“SoftwareRevision”=”I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3″

“ProductCode”=”GT-I9000HKDXEE”

“HIDSWVER”=”I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3″

“DEVCONINFO”=”"

for Galaxy S

now all we is need to know those values for our Galaxy 5
