Hi

I found this thread over at androidforums: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-5/221066-tutorial-install-applications-into-sd-card-samsung-galaxy-5-i5500.html

It is a tutorial on how to save apps on sd-card instead of the inbuilt memory! :)

However I think there must be something wrong with the guide, because I have tried this several time and I cant get it to work! :(

Maybe some of you guys can check it out and see if it has to be revised, or if it is only me! :D

cheers!

GPS

Totally true!!!

First I have downloaded several GPS applications (GPS Test fo example), when you boot the telephone as GPS disabled, turning on GPS later on doesnt work at all. The GPS Test application couldnt find any GPS satellite at all. SO, I turned off the telephone as GPS is enabled, and then booted it once more. Then I opened the GPS Test application and it found 6 satellites.

It seems that this is a software bug. There is no need to reboot the phone for GPS hardware to be turned. I hope this can be solved after a software update.

do i need to flash both part 1 and part 2? which comes first?and what ops file i need to use?.tnx!:)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] xanezu:
Right click on part 1 and choose " Extract here".

It will extract your both part 1 and part 2 (it should in the same location where part 1 is saved) and will merge them into one package automatically.

i5500 boot loop at SAMSUNG

My Galaxy 5 Phone cannot finsih booting into the GUI. Restarts again and again flashing SAMSUNG (with their url below). I rooted the phone (Universal Androot), installed 20+ apps, worked perfectly for hours, and I left it on the table and went to bed. Next morning it would not boot.

I tried Odin debug mode with all boxes checked. Gets a PASS -- still no go.

Tried pressing several button combos hoping to get into recovery boot -- no luck.

Read nearly all of its 200 pages many similar requests in this forum, but found no solution.

Please help.

Hurray! This is true that samsung galaxy 5 in india gets official 2.2 but you have to go to samsung service center, today I give my phone to service center let see what happened and what we get officially flash, multi touch etc.....

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] BlocK240:
Don't randomly check boxes if you don't have a FULL backup of the phone. Yours is now half-bricked since it won't ever regain its IMEI and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity.

Nonetheless, does the flashing actually work? Does the phone reboot in recovery mode when Odin flashes it and then you have to press the middle button to make it reboot normally?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] hotboyz012345:
this firmware is very bad. this firmware is also hangs the phone and every game hangs it.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] treb88:
it is because it is in its beta...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] pmateti:
My i5500 half/full-bricked?

I know I was too reckless. The night before everything was working, so I did not bother to take a full backup.

Now Odin connects, the timer keeps ticking, but no progress bar even after 10 minutes. Kies also cannot connect.

I am hoping that someone has a procedure that can at least boot into Android.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] xanezu:
the thing i did before the boot loop problem begin, was rooting, installing busybox and providing RW access to data folder.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] BlocK240:
Well, does it get to recovery mode after a successful flash?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] xanezu:
it only goes in download mode only. After flashing the rom using ODIN, but the boot loop still continues.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
Are you serious? Where do you stay in India? let us know if you get the update.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] pmateti:
Odin is unable to (effectively) flash. So I cannot flash 2.1 or any other.

Few more attempts later, now Odin connects, the timer keeps ticking, but no progress bar even after 10 minutes. Kies begins to connect, but cannot complete the connection.

<1> setup connection...

<1> odin mode.. check plcatform verification.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] BlocK240:
Let me make myself a bit more understood.

After flashing with Odin, the first thing the phone does it reboot to recovery mode. Do you get to the point the image above shows?

If yes, connect the phone to the PC via adb and do a full system wipe.

If not, your only chance is going to a service with it.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] hotboyz012345:
no man, they just try to ...... me when i go to samsung service center they told me that there is some confusion about this model upgradation. so they have to verify this and they gave me some days, but i m now already upgrade my phone to mad team new 2.2.1 firmware and this is bloody ****, only theme is good but it makes the phone very slow and every game hangs it and there is no internet connection shortcut,no swype keyboard,gps is also poor,my previous firmware is usa froyo which is the best and till now that is the best firmware

swype keyboard,gps is also poor, ?? lol u damn noob again. swype?? just get new beta swype form swype website. its better than stock. so that y they remove it. GPS POOR? u live at jungle or somewhere theres no satellite maybe. because i open ndrive , only wait 3 seconds to lock satellite with GPS AID.

AND THE USA FROYO WHICH IS THE BEST? LOL. I ALREADY TESTED ALL LEAKED FROYO.. ALL IS CRAP EXCEPT EUROPE FROYO. I THINK U NEVER TEST THAT. AND USA FROYO LACK OF MULTIMEDIA FUNCTION LIKE CONTROL VOLUME WHILE YOUR PHONE IN LOCK. AND AS YOU KNOW, LEAKED FROYO SUCK AT COMPASS. BUT MOTAFOCA EDITION FIX THIS! ITS SUPPORT FOR DETECTION OF ADHOC NETWORK TOO.

and please tell me the advantages of official rom? lol.. i bet it still no multitouch.

actually you dont know how to manage your android system. lol. im installed about 200 .apk. about 20 .apk of games included Radiant HD. all game run smooth. this firmware come with root n stuff. if you dont know how to manage it that will be suck. so dont install so many software that included too many autostart. or you actually dont know most app autostart when meet certain condition on android?

there is no hope for flash? lol. yes. coz the hardware. or your USA leaked froyo can play flash??? dumbass.. dont said this if your phone cant play it too.

Motafoca Rom :

hangs? = about 3 week heavy use.. hang only 2 times. official eclair hang more than this.

battery? = heavy use.. 2 days .

You Read this. :

games? = please read system requirement before installing any game. G5 low end phone. dont said it because of firmware. dumbass.

Question (possibly off-topic) but searching the forum and google hasn't come up with any answers as yet.

I have a UK I5500, which was O2, and I've tried to reflash but I am now stuck in the boot loop. I suspect the reason I have got to this point is because I didn't root before running Odin <via instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=781149>

Basically rather than looking for a modded ROM, all I was after was reflashing the device to stock 2.2 (or any stock ROM) as it was locked without the owner knowing the passcode or google account to unlock.

I've tried recovery mode, and tried connecting to Kies, but to no avail.

Can anyone help me get away from the boot loop, how to reset the phone (possibly back to factory) or how to no go ahead and flash successfully?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mark14:
To answer my own question - went back and tried Odin a few more times - and when I UN-checked the auto-reboot flag it worked first time, just in case anyone else out there is having the same issue.

great thread - really informative, the only limitation in reflashing my phone was my own lack of knowledge!

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] miteshpc:
Thanks and I tried it earlier. It didn't bring in any difference. However, I noticed today the following:

1. When the mobile starts up the 3G gets connected and then it falls below to Edge.

2. If I swap the SIM with another SIM that works on HSDPA then the i5503 manages to remain connected at HSDPA.

3. The mobile operator confirmed that the SIM was enabled for 3G (maybe not HSDPA).

Therefore, it seems I will have to change the SIM to get a properly configured HSDPA enabled one.

Apart from that, no problems using the 2.0.9 modaco. Great work G5/MAD team.

hey.. I'm from malaysia.. just got my i5503 today! =) it seems like a new version of motafoca is out - 2.0.9.1

1.should i flash with that or the 2.0.9 final??

2. do we need to check the one package box during the process? there's some who said we should not check that box..

3. after finish flashing, do we need to do a factory reset? if can, pls state the steps to do it(after rebooting our phone)..

i need this rom as it allows moving apps to sd and improving battery life, like they said. hope not to have any bugs after flashing though..

if there're any, pls let me know so that i won't freak out when i encounter them! haha.. if can, solutions for those bugs as well..

i will wait for a reply b4 flashing my NEW phone!! thanks a lot!!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] myshu:
would be great if you manage to backup your product code and version line from the registry or just put it through kies and if it finds a genuine update back it up using kies registry patcher during flashing.

use the one package option and place the .tar or .tar.md in the onepackage box , then simply flash. after install it will take your phone into the recovery menu , do data and cache wipe and you're done.

i suggest you wait for a bugfix for 2.0.9.1 its not working as it should.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] noname115:
so.. i should go for 2.0.9 final right?

hmm.. ok.. can u kindly provide me the steps to do what u mentioned at first?

btw.. some additional questions.. do we need to urn on the USB debugging during flashing?? i saw from the manual that we are required to turn that on while installing KIES.. for flashing, do we need to do the same?

oh yeah.. hard reset after flashing??

and to confirm.. i just download the europa froyo(i5500XXXX) for my i5503 rite?

thanks for ur reply btw! can't wait to upgrade!!
