i5500 chip known?

Hi

I was planning to use my rooted i5500 as a USB host device.

But in order to enable this in the kernel, i need to know what chipset the phone has. All I can find with google is that it runs at 600Mhz.

Somebody has more infos on that subject?

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] tweakradje:
My i5500 is now in big trouble. Like other posts I have searched here it is in boot logo loop. This happened after I got a message on the phone about low memory (/data?). I rebooted the phone and now it is in boot logo loop.

I have flashed various roms now with ODIN and no succes.

I read sometings about recovery mode but I cannot enter any ADB commands.

The only thing that is still working:

1) Emergency Dload mode (ARM9 mode)

2) Download Mode

How do I enter this famous recovery mode? Any key combination on boot?

Or how can I wipe all data?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] andho:
I was able to enter adb shell while my phone was in boot loop. Did you try that? Just asking for clarity?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] tweakradje:
Nope. Samsung bootlogo flashing (with reboot in between) and when I connect usb the samsung logo disappears. But still in boot loop (instead of logo now black screen)

Not looking good I must say.

-> adb shell

error: device not found

hello guys,

I upgraded my i5500 with european I5500XWJP9 (froyo). Almost everything works well, except every time i try to make a call, sooner or later the phone reboots. Sometimes it reboots when it starts ringing on the other side, other times i can talk for 15 seconds and then, reboots.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

Thanks for your time.

Guys those who have problems connecting to ad-hoc Wifi network i've found out the solution.

Downloadthe wpa_supplicant file fromthe link

http://www.multiupload.com/ODPRFNUJPY

and rename it to "wpa_supplicant" and then replace the wpa_supplicant file from system/bin/ of your device (do a backup of the file if anything goes wrong we can always restore.

Now when yousearch for wifi networks it detects adhoc networks as well with a (*) infront of the name.

Issues: I could not make the WEP to work

OS: Android 2.1 (CONFIRMED)

Froyo

Motafoca Releases

Hi there again :)

I am from INDIA so i've 5503 Model. I have been using Motafoca 2.0.9 Final release and its really cool. However since it is based on The European Version of Froyo so when using the "PHONE INFO"tool (*#*#4636#*#*) even though i select WCDMA only option it still does not switch to 3G. However in the Asian Android 2.1 i could switch. I read in some article that the band that is used inIndia is different (1900) than what is used in the Europe (1800-unsure about the digits). So can anyone help me by telling me the location of the file responsible for network band monitoring soo that i can edit it(try to) and seeif it works for me??

Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] FDAD:
Does any one know if Android supports a "Pagefile" like Windows, or, even better, It's own Ready boost. I have a High Class SD Card and want to take advantage of that.

Since Ram Support in "ANDROID" (not our phone) is ridiculous, dumping programs to Ram as Cache, just stupid... I do a level 2 Cleaning on my Ram just to find that programs that I rarely use or don't need as often are dumped to the Ram consuming 10 or 20 Mbytes or Ram... NOT FUN!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] tweakradje:
Can you tell exact which button is the D-pad button? I know the menu button.

Is D-pad button the big center button? Not pressing the up/down/left/right simultaniously?

In that case it doesn't work. Only Samsung logo followed by reboot, again and again.

Got a new mode though: RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode) whatever that might be.

Thanks anyway.

Cheers

ps: I have a serious question about ODIN 4.28 for GT-I5500

The OPS file looks like this;

0,mibib
1,qcsbl
2,oemsbl
3,amss
4,arm11boot
5,boot
6,recovery
7,system
8,data
9,csc
10,

Where is the efs entry? We know it is in stl5. If I look into the i5800 OPS file I see this:

0,boot
1,Sbl
2,logo
3,efs
4,zImage
5,factoryfs
6,datafs
7,cache
8,
9,modem

On the i5800 efs is in stl4 (number 3 in the OPS file)

So logicaly I would say for the i5500 it must be number 4 (stl5) but there is arm11boot.

And arm11boot is present in the firmware files. What number efs should be in?

I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy 5 but I see it doesn't have multi-touch,but I've seen some videos on youtube where people upgraded to 2.2 android and they had multi-touch.

I was wondering if I upgrade it to 2.2,will I get Multi-touch for galaxy 5?

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] b00l:
I've found no bugs yet. But I strongly recommend 2.0.9 full edition and not the motafoca edition :P
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] FDAD:
Emergency D-load Mode ->

Correct! the centre, black one.

Safe Mode ->

Press only the centre Black one.

If fails, reformat the phone by doing so:

You need:

ODIN 4.28

Use direct PC USB port no Hubs!!!!!

Download Mode or Emergency D-load Mode.

Select "Debug Only"

Then:

PDA format

Phone EFS Clear

Parameter Clear

Select "Reset Files" in ODIN to clear file places.

Proceed with "Start"

After all this if it doesn't load:

Download and install this firmware USE this!!! Even if you have the same:

I5500XWJP9 ->http://hotfile.com/dl/103739297/0756f29/I5500XWJP9.rar.html

Pass: " samfirmware.com "

In Linux, Swap is used. And it is available in Motofoca Version 2.0.9. You can setup how much (Max:100MB). Since Android is of course based on Linix.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] LvAnDroid:
You will not multi touch yet but it is being developed by developers like motofoca and many others.The youtube Videos ARE ALL MOSTLY FAKE but some are real. Even 2.3.3 is coming to the The Samsung galaxy 5. Test Versions are developed and can be downloaded.

Now Choose which Phone you want to buy.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] tweakradje:
Thanks for your detailed instructions. My phone is now to the repair shop.

But it might help others (or me next time...)

Clearing EFS is not such a good idea if you don't have done dd if=/dev/block/stl5 of=/sdcard/stl5.rfs to put it back later. A lotta qualcomm (CDMA) parameters are stored there with IMEI etc.

But thanks for your response anyway ;)

I just want to play FPS games like Modern Combat

youtube.com/watch?v=Dl7IyjhL5XM

Can I install these multi-touch kind of games on non-multi touch devices like Galaxy 5?

Also,can they be played like,I move where I want,then I aim with weapon,fire,then move again,because I cant move AND fire at the same time. Can be these games played like that if can be installed?

Please reply :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] LvAnDroid:
The game In the Video Is For High End Phones with Screen Size 3.8" Recommended. They cannot be played on low end devices like The Galaxy 5. Most Multi touch Games(Exception Of High End Games) Work On the Phone but Many are Impossible to Play.

Multi-touch is under Development and it is not like All Games are Based On Multi-touch.

If you want to play many high End Games and Many More Go for a Mobile like Samsung galaxy S or Even Higher like Motorola Atrix.

THOSE WHO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH 3G IN INDIA

I have found a work around .

It is known that in the stock Eclair firmware we could FORCE WCDMA (3G) from the PHONE INFO Menu but doing so in 2.2 it did not work.

However if you are facing problems in forcing 3g the dial

*#*#197328640#*#*

this will take you to the SERVICE MODE now select in the following order:

DEBUG SCREEN>PHONE CONTROL>NETWORK CONTROL>BAND SELECTION>WCDMA PREFERENCE>WCDMA 2100

This is valid for INDIA... however for other countries SELECT the BAND that is USED IN YOUR COUNTRY.. Hope it helps..

TESTED OS:

Eclair

Froyo (European/LA)

Hi Virav,

There are no seperate settings to be done for 3G to be activated. If they say that service is activated, give your phone a reboot and you should see the symbol of 3G/H instead of E(Edge) above the Notification Bar.

Thanks

Hi,

I am thankful and grateful to the members of this forum for their valuable contribution.

With the help of detailed posts, I upgraded my phone (I5503 as I am from India) to Motofoca 2.09. Although there were some glitches in between but I finally managed to perform all the steps (upgradation/aap2sd/Rooting etc).

The GPS is working fine.

I am able to use 3G(Vodafone) as well as Wi-Fi.

The most positive thing is the remarkable battery Backup and that phone no longer seems to be hanging (while playing Slice IT or Angry Birds). Its simply Awesome...

The only negative is that my phone hanged twice today while it was locked and screen off. I was not able to Unlock and hence had to take out the battery to restart. Will observe for next few days and will report back any errors).

Many Thanks once again. Happy to Help if any member faces any problem.
