The firmware available on the first page that doesn't have 'Android 2.2 - Froyo' written next to it, are 2.1 firmwares. Or you can find them on samfirmware.com on this page.

I think the GPS problem has to do with incompatible firmware. For example, flashing USA firmware on Asian model.

I can't really say anything about the bricking issue, but I would say it is possible, even though I have flashed my phone more than 5 times without bricking it.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Mino_32:
1. You don't have to rooted, it's optional

2. Depending on the language you require, for your region find it on samfirmware.com

3. I think it's possible but i haven't read a single post about it. I don't think it actually happende to anyone

4. If you don't know what you are doing then YES.

There is a reason why everybody says : DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] andho:
It is available in samfirmware.com. It is a 2.1 firmware though.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] darktbs7:
My compass works, it just says to wave it in a figure 8 pattern to calibrate and then it works great.

Also i ended up with my phone stuck in a boot loop thing that i call a temporary brick but i just used odin and reflashed the firmware, same thing happened to my mate and reflashing fixed. But thats not to say dont be careful haha its stil a pain to fix.

Any idea why i can't access *#*#1472365#*#* ?? Really need help :D

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Dark69Slayer:
I had few issues while updating to froyo .

First my phone was vibrating for no reason even when it was switched off. Then the android.phone process just kept on crashing.

To fix this i just did a factory reset. Now everything is perfect.

Froyo uses a different codes. For froyo it's *#*#3214789650#*#*

Any further suggestions for gps fix issues, somebody?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] peeweew:
have you kept the clock open until it goes alarm?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] binor:
oh.. I didn't think about that I have to keep it open. I relied on the clock icon in the status bar which is always there. Though I may have killed the clock. I'll give it a try this morning, thanks for the hint! =)

Hold the Center button instead of Home button and now I can flash the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] desigabri:
You should read the Thread before ask. There are 7 pages only at this moment it shouldn't be to mutch difficult or take to mutch time looking for informations into it.

At page 4 You can find this:

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] a9u5_h:
yeah i've read this before

but the problem is, i don't know how "to make new tar files adding the contenct of the WJI2 version on a working one"

i'm still newbie so i don't know how to do that :)

help me please :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SwaroopHegde:
hey, I unable to go into download button using the center button. Only the home button works but then again, I am stuck with the "setup connection" issue.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] desigabri:
no problem: I had the same problem and I was waiting this kind of question.

I didn't invent anything, I had to search about this in the net and found that. It seems that only tars made with linux work here :( so for people like me that don't use linux as the first O.S this could be the only problem. Windows TAR softwares produce tars that don't work with ODIN.

I used a GUI linux tar software.

If you unpack the tar files you'll find that they contain others files. You have to put the new ones from JI2 into the unpacked JH4 and repack it throught the TAR command or the GUI tar software. The others files don't need updates so they shared these new ones only. Don't use the JI1 firmware, You'll find that JI2 is the JI1 with a new file only that they packed wrong in the JI1. When you will look for informations about JI2 you'll find that it is a JI1 because they missed to to change the informations.

It worked fine for me hope this help you.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] yogulus:
Hi

Can this phone be unlocked for free? any solutions for that?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] tuannam:
You should check the checkbox one-package option and select that file only.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] tuannam:
Hold Center button and Home butter would show two different Download screens. But only Center button works for me and I had the "setup connection" issue with the other. You try to hold Volume-down and Center button first then press and hold the Power button. Need to be clever a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] desigabri:
Very happy to know about one-package button option

GOOD TO KNOW, I reallly hate software then comes without help. I understand that it isn't so easy to make anything working for free and at the same time helping people using it. So it should has been so easy upgrading my firmware using the one-package option?!! I was warried thinking to brick my smartphone using that option...only because it isn't documented: in this world is not so safe trying buttons only for try...

but thanks to have shared this PRECIOUS information to us.

Android 2.2 on Samsung GT-i5500?

I'm interested un buying this phone, but I know that it comes with Android 2.1.

Do you have any idea on if there will be an upgrade Android 2.2 (Froyo)? or should I go for a phone that is already shipped with it, such as LG Optimus One P500?

Hi all..:)

I'm a Galaxy 5 user too..

I already have upgraded my firmware to Froyo (USA) from the first page...

anyone can help?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] poltn6:
Can anyone here help me to do this for a UK handset? I would like to flash back to stock with Kies but not sure what code goes where in the registry to do so.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Mino_32:
I would also appreciate it, now when official KIES froyo upgrade is supposed to be released. If not i guess i'd just have to downgrade using ODIN again
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] d.chatten:
Well i've got some good news for the UK if you purchased your phone from CPW as i had the same problem, follow the intructions quoted above, but use the below values where applicable.

You must use Kies_1.5.3.10103_64_1 otherwise it won't work.

SoftwareRevision = I5500XWJI2/I5500OXAJH2/I5500XWJG3/I5500XWJI2

ProductCode = GT-I5500YKACPW

HIDSWVER = I5500XWJI2/I5500OXAJH2/I5500XWJG3/I5500XWJI2

NAME = GT-I5500 (removed the L from the back)

Model Name = GT-I5500 (removed the L from the back)

test_productcode = CPW < if this value is not present then it's not needed

testversion = I5500XWJI2/I5500OXAJH2/I5500XWJG3/I5500XWJI2 < if this value is not present then it's not needed

DevConInfo = removed

When the firmware has been installed by Kies do a factory reset using the code below.

*2767*3855#

Now you need to change the product code so that Kies and any new updated version of Kies will detect your phones firmware correctly and install Froyo 2.2 when it arrives, to do this do the following.

Enter *#272*your imei#

Now select CPW from the list and tap install, wait for the phone to restart and you're all done.

Hope this helps!

You won't find froyo with italian yet. Only USA version exists (with above mentioned languages) and Asian which i doubt has italian
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] poltn6:
So, everything seems to work apart from the bit quoted above. Did you make a mistake in the codes?

Hard reset code for me was: *2767*3855#

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] myshu:
thanks for the code , this is the way people can get theyre apn settings automatically after flashing back the original firmware. ( caution , use it after a fresh install otherwise you will loose all your apps)

Hello guys,

I just tried to flash my Galaxy 5 to 2.2 using the USA Firmware. After I flash it, i can't use my phone anymore. It always said that the android process needs to be forced quit. When I tried to flash with the Asia firmware, the touch screen didn't work. What firmware should I flash to get 2.2? Or what's the trick? Thanks.

Btw, I'm from Indonesia, and I got this device from Samsung Indonesia. Thanks.

NVM, i just reflashed it using the 2.2 USA firmware. Working fine.....for now.... Thanks.

What about the IMEI code? Enter *#272*your imei# - THis didn't work for me either.

Seems to have worked fine anyway and updated firmware via Kies.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] curiouso9:
you've got that right! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] d.chatten:
I think you may need to do a hard reset first using *2767*3855# after using Kies, then use *#272*your imei# strait after the hard reset to change the product code, to check your IMEI type *#06#
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] herr_magic:
I gt the U.S. version of Froyo to my German Galaxy 5-i5500 (previously 2.1) and flashed me kept exactly to the instructions from page 1. I have no problems, compass is o.k. and the battery will last longer than before.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] ayush0512:
Beware This bricked my phone !

Its seriously not a joke !

It was 28 dec 2010, I was checking out awesome phones on net. When I went though samsung galaxy family I got lust for getting galaxy 3 and galaxy s interface on my galaxy 5. So I checked out tutorials for installing galaxy 3 and s on net, and found it to be too similar with galaxy 5 installation. I then got the firmware for g3 and gs. I went into downloading mode of galaxy 5, started the process of flashing galaxy 3, it failed ! But mobile was still in downloading mode, so I again tried my luck and started installing galaxy s, **** ! Failed again ! Mobile still in downloading mode. Now I thought that I should remove battery as I always do if I get into downloading mode accidently, so with this thought I unplugged the battery.

» This was my biggest mistake !

Aftet plugging it, phone didn't start, it got bricked.

That mistake could have been undone, if at that time I had reflashed galaxy 5 firmware, the problem was that during my attempt to install g3 the galaxy 5 pda file was erased. So when phone restarted it didn't have the procedure for how to boot the phone.

I was for sure that my phone is full dead(bricked) when my all attempts to start the phone failed.

I was really unable to sleep that night.

Next day on 29/12/10 I visited samsung mobile service center, they declared that they cannot install the firmware and its motherboard( everything in mobile else external cover) has to be replaced and it would take about a weeks time to make it work !

They told me that motherboard costs more than 80% of total cost of phone, but I was very lucky that my phone was in warranty so I didn't have to pay for it, else I was in deep **** !

Finally they returned my phone on 11/01/2011. Full working !

The warned me not to update the software on my own and wait for the company to release official one.

Anyone who had done similar act and had successfully installed galaxy 3 or galaxy s on galaxy 5 please post a detailed guide for performing so.

Anyone who is planning to do so is free to do this untill you don't have warranty.

Do it at your own risk !

Note if you have warranty, atleast try to find a way to install galaxy 3 or galaxy s on galaxy 5, even if you have a little bit of idea what are you about do !

I guess the only risk with those who have warranty is that they will get separated from their mobile for a week !

And even this won't happen if you guys will not repeat the same mistake(specified above) done by me in the attempt to do the welfare of the samsung galaxy 5 owners all across the world !

If I could risk for all u guys, atleast u guys think for it !

So please guys attempt it !

Any new ideas please tell me !

Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Mino_32:
No offence, but you're an *******. Just because installing steps are the same it's DOESN'T MEAN IT'S OK!!!! Galaxy s And 3 have completely differnt settings and parameters. You can't install firmware from other phones on yours just because it is android. Why do you think we are all waiting for a normal froyo firmware for europe? If it would be possible i would have installed gingerbread a loooooooong time ago
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] neolode:
Why would you ever try to flash the galaxy s or galaxy 3 firmware on your galaxy 5, it's different hardware.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on the GT-I5500 for about 10 days, played alot, flashed alot and i finaly got to learn how it works

Well i have created a modified froyo version based on samsung's I5500LAR0JP2

Basically i tweaked the initiation scripts and got the powersave gorvernor set to ondemand

It was performance, so the cpu clock was always at max

The battery now lasts about 3 times more according to testers and the device aparently is more stable. All the apps are the same

Setcpu can be removed since the powersave mode is now default

To install it, use the odin procedure as the same as the I5500LAR0JP2

Remember to do a factory wipe after installing

Below the file, DO NOT RENAME THE FILE TO .TAR OR ANYTHING ELSE, odin will do the checksum of the file so you know it has been downloaded correcty

At the Lowyat forum there is all the testing and modifications

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] dudumaroja:
Hi, I was helping testing Motafoca's firmware, and this version is amazing, its really fixes the battery problem! now the clock goes between 245mhz to 600mhz ( the original froyo version was fixed on 600mhz) and there is no performance issues! it just runs fine as the original froyo firmware does!

i recommend this firmware!

the setcpu is not needed anymore ( just if you like the profiles. like forcing to use low clock when battery is low )

Note: if you want to save even more power, you can user setcpu to lower even more the cpu to 122,88 mhz, but be warned, in our tests this couses to make wifi stop working sometimes! quite annoying

if you dont use wifi, i guess you can get a lot more juice of your batery!

Downgrading

Hey guys,

i got the 2.2 froyo installed on my Galaxy 5, but it seems to be givin some problems even after hard reset..

I was thinking of downgrading to the 2.1 version.

But the problem is i cant get to the download mode

Could anyone plz suggest plz plz plz plz :o

Thanks in advance :):):)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] alvis_do:
After I enter #272*your imei# it don't show any list, just a textbox "Sale code" say "ARO" but I cant enter anything into it?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] kill3r000:
@Tekie - i did had the Froyo. Was doing just fine. It needed battery recalibration (charge it fully ~3 times, let it discharge fully or let it reach the red bar ~3 times), compass ok, battery consumption after recalibration was better than Eclair, moving apps to sd was super. Reverted back to Eclair waiting for Vodafone or Samsung to release official zone-related Froyo (just to see the difference between them). Hope this helps you or others.

@alvis_do - it seems you have a single zone release. there are outhere firmwares with multi-zone/language/area support that let's you choose. hope this is you problem. mine had multiple choices of operators, that is why i think it shows you only one option. (I have the original Eclair that came with my phone reflashed - the version is covered a few pages back in my guide "How to revert back to original firmware - Vodafone RO").

@spasspecker - at this time there is only one vs. of Froyo that you can flash and that is for Latin America. I understand from other users on this forum that is going to be released a vs. for Europe also in the upcoming future from Samsung. If you are locked with an operator then you must wait for that operator to test it, modify it for use in that network and that is gonna take some time (2 weeks, 3, who knows?). Guess those are your options FOR NOW.

@gabriel.87 - Try Volume Down+Center Button+Power Button (previous to this take your battery out for 5-10 secs, push the power button a couple of times<i did that> and then reattach it and try the combo). Hope it works. If not, will try to find other ways,search the forum or google yourself the problem.
