Can anybody tell me how to reinstall android version 2.3.6 on samsung galaxy y pro duos……. plz…. thnks in advance…………
2.3.6 is the best gingerbread? what about 2.3.7?
Samsung hasn’t released Android 2.3.7 update for any of their devices..
I upgraded my galaxy mini, but there is not chinese language,
is that anyway to add chinese language?
This is not a Chinese firmware and there is no way to add Chinese language in this firmware..
I upgraded my galaxy mini as your instruction above and root it, can i flash my phone again ?
Yes, you can..
but i already root my phone,
still can ?
Flashing is independent of root…
my phone was rooted n i using clockworkmod..
can i still do this or i must unroot it ?
Don’t need to unroot.
It works on ALL Galaxy Mini S5570 regardless region ?
I extracted the file from S5570XWKTN_S5570OXXKTB_RST,
I got a file named
GT-S5570-MULTI-CSC-OXXKTB_RST.tar.md5 instead of CSC_S5570XWKTN_CL1019135_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
Only one file?
4 files,
APBOOT_S5570XWKTN_CL1019135_REV02_user_low_true.tar
CODE_S5570XWKTN_CL1019135_REV02_user_low_true.tar
MODEM_S5570XWKT6_CL1000416_REV02.tar
GT-S5570-MULTI-CSC-OXXKTB_RST.tar
CSC_S5570XWKTN_CL1019135_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5 was missing.
No problem put GT-S5570-MULTI-CSC-OXXKTB_RST.tar.md5 in CSC tab. It should work..
Its work, thank you very much.
Welcome Bro..
Okay, I tried this thing and it crashed my phone. I got the pass message and my phone powered off. I was thinking it was going to reboot but I waited for more than 2 hours and it didn’t. Now I walk around with a dead phone in my pockets. Is there anything I can do to “resurrect” it? Thanks. And by the way, a friend of mine opened the rar. file, and got a pop up asking for a password. Can you help?
How can i change the view of messages after gingerbread is upgraded ?? Plz let me knw !
Basically all android versions have same threaded look in messages.
If you want to have some different look you can install external softwares like GO SMS etc.
why
why i cannot connect my phone my pc..dont clour yellow
Install mobile drivers..
what if skip the ‘ wipe / reset factory reset ‘ ? I don’t wanna lose my files. Cause there’s so many useful apps there.
It may work for the time being but can cause errors in future..
but, what’s the different between Android 2.3.4 and Android 2.3.6 ? :S
There are some minor improvements.
But 2.3.6 is certainly better.
okay, but will it works? I’m scared to update my phone, this is my first time anyway!
No doubt. It works without any issues but still perform these steps at your own risk..
that is not explained in this tutorial is that: 1 if connect the phone to the computer then enter the “driver manager” in “control panel” and update your phone properly drive, and then use the command Nooo volume up + home button + lock button use the command … lock button + volume down + home button and enter download mode …………. sorry for my bad english not really know
