I can say i am a little disappointed about the phone, because a lot of app are crashing, i can't see google docs on it and so one.
are there any custom Roms for this phone? or 2.2.1 ?
rooting is soo easy.. i rooted with One click Root...also i did Un-root because i had to send it to guaranty because of the screen
another disappointing problem is the battery...its lasting around 1-1.5 days, and thats not cool
it is a good phone but i believe it has lots of bugs in the OS.
i was able to root my galaxy 551, however rooting thru one click root doesn't install any recovery. how do you install a recovery so i can flash the zip files.
i also have the htc wildfire and have rooted it and flashed different custom roms, however rooting and flashing the galaxy 551 is an altogether different procedure. could someone make a guide for this? thanks
far as i read on internet there is a app called ODIN...and you can use it. i coudnt try it because i sent my phone to service because of the display.
also...can you enter google docs from your 551? my browser is crashing every time...
i haven't tried the phone's browser yet, its been with me for only a day. i installed rom manager and clockwork mod recovery. however, i can't seem to start recovery (when the phone is off). in htc, you press volume down and power. In samsung galaxy 551 what buttons need to be pressed aside from power button to go to recovery mode? i tried the home button, back button, and volume buttons but nothing seems to work.
try volume down + home + power ...
i cant try since my phone is gone to service
try and tell me the result
also can you please try to enter docs.google.com and tell me if its working on ur phone....thanks
update: you can install the Android SDK, and after that you can use adb...when phone is connected to pc and and debugging is on:
adb reboot recovery
the combo of volume down + home+ power didn't work, the only way i can go to recovery is to go through rom manager
what do you mean "through rom manager"?
did you try adb ?

Please suggest.

there is a selection on rom manager to reboot on recovery, i also tried to backup using rom manager, unfortunately it didn't work and my phone started in recovery mode. I also couldn't install the right clockwork mod recovery because galaxy 551 doesn't show in the device choices
Is there any way to backup current rom of Samsung galaxy 551?
So that, I can take up a risk of installing new rom.
Well still I dont know whether this Samsung galaxy 551 supports new rom installation or not...
If any one has done already done before then pls let us ppl kno .
Thanks in advance

people...install busybox...
i can't create a tutorial yet, because my 551 is still in service (screen problems), and far as i find out we can enter recovery mode with busybox
update: busybox can be installed if you root your phone using SuperOneClick Root 1.6.5 or higher, and if you have your phone rooted, but no busybox, just install Titanium Backup, and it will install it automatically

Hello,
I managed to flash my galaxy 551 with one of firmware available at samfirmware dot com.
The keys are "q" for a qwerty keyboard or "a" for an azerty keyboard (the first letter of the physical keyboard) + power for boot in download mode.
But the physical keyboard is now in qwerty : I'm interested in azerty.kcm.bin file + *.kl from an FR rom.
Thank's in advance and sorry for my bad English : /

Hi, found lots of useful stuff reading the thread. Does anyone know how to boot into recovery mode? the vol.down+home+power didn't work for me... or I'm doing it wrong :S Has anyone booted into recovery succesfully?
UPDATE: for the record I have the GT-I5510L model (L is for Latin I think) rooted using SuperOneClick 1.7 (which I think installs busybox in the process).
I found out that the "Q" key + Power combination during power-up takes you to Download mode, and so far the only way I found to enter Recovery mode is through "terminal emulator" executing:
Code:
#su
#boot recovery
After that the phone reboots and enters Recovery mode.
To navigate in Recovery mode use the following physical keys:
Left and Right arrow to move Up and Down the menu options (weird, right?)
Shift key (the one on the left above the red "Alt" key) to select the highlighted option.

Hi, i've the same problem too. I've tried to reinstall recovery more time, i've tried also to press "Menu" instead of "Home" with the other 2 buttons (i just tryed and the phone freezes in LG Screen) and now i cannot enter that menù. Could some one help?
EDIT: I solved in this way: in commands that i use throught the adb shell, i replaced all "flash_image" with "flash_image.img" in less words adding the extension of "flash_image" file to each command. It works fine now.
Hello,

I have Samsung galxy Vibrant (T-mobile), I rooted it and tried to install custom roms on it.
I tried about 4 roms and every thing was fine.

in this screen I have to press OK key to enter a choice, but what's the OK key I have to press???
I the past it was " press power key" and it was ok.
I tried all buttons to choose a choice but nothing works.
I tried to boot it in download mode but again no result, it hangs on recovery screen.
So please I need a help in this, how can I exit from this stupid recovery screen, or boot in download mode?
Thanks and sorry for this looooooong description

Depending on the ROM the recovery mode isn't working. For example I know Simply Galaxy 2.3 wasn't working. Did you read the whole post for the ROM? Can you post the link to the ROM you installed?
EDIT: Nevermind you can post links. Please post the name of the ROM you installed ex. Simply Galaxy, MIUI, CM7 etc
this is the link:

Hello,
after some research here is my problem in brief:
I have Samsung vibrant and by mistake installed a Samsung S rom.
now am stuck in the recovery mode and can not go out the reason is in Galaxy S you have to press Home key to select on option from recovery menu, in Vibrant there is no Home button like Galaxy S, so how can I get from this??????
Thanks

How do I root my S5660 with S5830 firmware on it ? The key combinations dont work anymore...
So I can maybe root my phone... And use terminal emulator to get into download mode...
Is there a way to get root?
Tried Gingerbreak, SuperOneClick
first of all, this development subforum is not for question thread. if it aint developing, dont post it here. post in general sobforum instead.
secondly, u dont make any sense at all. what does "The key combinations dont work anymore" have to do with rooting? what key combination u referring to?
edited: just realize, does ur S5660 even boot with ace rom installed in it anyway?

Yeah, I just tried. Haha. Well, maybe your best bet is USBJig. If that doesn't work, take it back to the shop/send it to service and tell them you had your brother's Ace connected and yours connected, ran Kies, said there was an update blah blah. Just try and blag it as best you can.
Risky... Don't know will it work... Try at your own risk....
Flash CWM...
Then reboot in recovery... Format system... Reboot... Phone has nothing in it... Hopefully you'll get your key combinations working...
BTW mind you... At your own risk

Doesn't work. Any other idea's ?
cant you use de su (switch user) command when connected trough adb shell?
Nope...
How long does Gingerbreak take normally?
I don't clearly understand if you can get into recovery or download mode, so have you tried this?
adb shell reboot recovery
or
adb shell reboot bootloader
I dont know if this tool work on you phone, but you could search for a compatible one, or simply use the equivalent command lines, they should work, has they are adb command lines and platform independent...
best luck...
P.S.-I suppose you are also trying to get support on S5660 forum, right ...
Cwm
Can you get into clockworkmod recovery?
Cuz then you can restore your backup.
(Btw, WHY should you flash a rom which isn't even made for your phone )
Can I manually root my phone? Eg the gingerbreak method? If I can get my phone rooted, then I can get into download mode so I can flash a new ROM
Afaik download mode doesnt have anything to do with rooting. Even on stock samsung rom unrooted we can easily go into download mode

Key buttons for Galaxy ace, don't know if they are the samw for gio.
Copied from help guide:
Home + Power = Recovery Mode (whether stock or CWM)
Home + Volume Down + Power = Download Mode (normal)
Home + Volume Up + Power = ARMv9 Dump Mode
Home + Volume Down + Volume Up + Power = Download Mode (EMERGENCY)
Hi you havent yet specified what state your phone shows currently.what does it show up when powering on.Does it power on actually.? tell the exact sequence after powering on.
Please try all the key combinations in the previous post.If nothing works then most probably it seems like you have tampered the primary bootloader of your phones arm processor..So only thing you can opt is a usb test jig.if that too doesn't work the phone musnt probably be powered on (hard bricked) and you can send it to samsung for replacement and tell som bla bla story to them(and hope they wont take enough pain to access your internal memory by accessing it at chip level, to know it has an ace firmware.. ). Mostly youll have a replacement if it doesnt even boot via a test jig..
And I hope i am not wrong here.if so senior members pls do correct

There is no fofum for my phone, does anyone know of a guide on how to get root on the M Style? The universal Samsung root for flashing in stock recovery doesnt work, super one click doesnt work, and xray say my device is immune to the known exploits. Im willing to root the hard way if I have too, just need steps so I dont brick my phone. Must... Delete... Bloat...
Edit- M340K, sorry.
Bump... Anyone know how to root this thing?
One more bump in case anyone else needs this, I found this finally.
http://auv.me/Galaxy-M-Style-SHW-M340K-root-rom
Its a standard Odin flash, all the odin files and pre-rooted rom are linked here. You can flash it as an update and keep everything, no need to wipe. It does install some carrier bloat (so I had two sets of bloat) but its rooted, so you can get rid of all of it.

It should. My phone says its an M340S now in settings but everything still works so it should work on both models.

Sent from my SHW-M340S using xda app-developers app
I just recently rooted my Samsung M Style SHW-M340S phone.
[GUIDE]
1. Download the attachment that I uploaded.
2. Transfer the zip file to the root of your sdcard either by connecting your phone to your computer or wirelessly (Do not unzip the file).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Go into Recovery Mode by holding down the home button, volume up button, volume down button, and the power button at the same time. Once you see the SAMSUNG logo show up, release the power button and you should see the recovery menu. Select "apply update from sdcard". Use the volume up and down buttons to scroll up and down the menu. Press the home button to select your option.
5. Use the volume up and down buttons and choose the zip file.
6. After the update is complete, choose the option to "reboot system now".
7. After the phone finishes restarting, you now have a rooted phone.
Note: I'm not sure if this will work on a M340K/L phone as I don't have those phones to test out.
m340s
I used several methods to root my m340s. but non of them worked.
After following ur proceeedure when i run terminal emulator it shows $ mark. but when i run the code "su" (without quotes) there it was turned to # instead of $ and it allowed to run that code. I think its rooted now.
Thanks a lot..

It is because livesuit needs tab to be in download mode
Unlike samsung, we go to download mode by pressing vol- +menu + power,
In tab,
1 switch tab 3 off
2 press volume down (or up....I dont exactly remember..try both)
3 keep pressing and put the usb in
4 press power repeatedly untill Tab gets detected via LiveSuit
Also I would ask u not to update to jelly bean as I just updated and Its too buggy... lags too much and all
In case u get image of Stock ICS 4.0.4, Please put the link here!
Im in a bad need of it
Hit thanks
another easy option is to take it to service centre,, they'll restore and then just install SU.
