Info for 5801 users at the bottom: read it carefully before do anything :)

LATEST FIRMWARE:

I5800XXJPM for I5800 EUROPE (February 2011) - CLICK HERE - Android 2.2 FROYO (pass = samfirmware.com)

Seems that this firmware doesn't require lagfix and gps fix :)

Instructions for upgrading: see below :)

[size=+2]HOW TO ROOT/UNROOT (alternative method):[/size]

Method 1: Simply use z4root. z4root it's an app you install from the market or by side loading, that has a single button that will root your device.

You can find all infos about z4root here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953 This application is available directly from the market. Search for 'z4root' or click here for .apk

Method 2: Simply use SuperOneClick. More info here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 Direct Download CLICK HERE,

[size=+2]HOW TO ROOT (old method):[/size]

Actually it's possibile to root I5800 using "One Click Root/UnRoot I9000 (Eclair and Froyo) Mac and PC" that you can find here. I used the OSX version.

WINDOWS VERSION

OSX VERSION

Superuser app issue:

Found out the issue with Superuser App crash. If you install new superuser 2.3.1 the app will crash if you click on the Info Tab. The first Time you One-Click Root you will need to run something as superuser which will add an item the superuser will track then the Info Tab will not Force Close and will display details of the tracked app requesting root access. New Superuser bug but easily ignored.

[size=+2]HOW TO UNROOT: (old method)[/size]

WINDOWS VERSION

OSX VERSION

LeshaK at Samdroid: for the original rooted-update.zip.

Dr.Hani Akrim for the original rooted-update.zip for 2.2 Froyo.

gunnarhafdal : for creating the Mac GUI for my app.

[size=+2]GPS FIX (method 01)[/size]

I5800 has many trouble with gps fix. To solve this just change NTP server in gps.conf located in system/etc. The simple way to do this is using FasterFix that you can download here: http://www.bernardbekker.nl/Files/FasterFixv92.apk

Attention Root is required!

Change NTP depending on your location. For a full list of NTP server visit http://www.ntp.org/.

You can create also a gps.conf file like this:

and change NTP_SERVER with the one of your area.

To push gps_conf in system/etc you can also use ADB (you'll find it into root/unroot package):

From terminal wrote:

adb shell

and then type:

su
remount rw
cat /sdcard/gps.conf > /system/etc/gps.conf
reboot

Another suggestion:

You can start it with the following code : *#*#1472365#*#*

[size=+2]GPS FIX By Octy: Fully Automatic (method 02)[/size]

Octy makes an application that fix gps problems on 5800 and works great! You'll find this app for free on the market, just search for any of these keywords: octy, GPS optimisation or GPSopt

I personally tested it and IT WORKS! GpsFix in few seconds :)

Great octy :)

[size=+2]UPGRADING:[/size]

Actually many firmware are available for each area (Europe, Asia and America). Last firmware version are:

Europe: I5800XWJH2

Asia: I5801DDJG6

All roms use OPS 531 and they can be flashed using ODIN for 5800.

Flashing with ODIN it's very simple (sorry for picture):

1) Select "One Package"

2) Select OPS file for I5800

3) In one package select the firmware that you want to flash.

4) Start :)

In about two minutes your mobile will be upgrade.
