Samsung Galaxy 5 i5550 stuck? - Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500

Hi
Tried to update my galaxy 5 i5500 (europe) model with Cyanogenmod 7.1 but after the reboot the phone was stuck on the boot loop.
When i try to flash the orginal firmware from samfirware i only choose europa_v1.0.ops and then the tar file for my phone, i need to uncheck the one package first then check it again so the "one package" button is marked and ready to load the file if i don´t do it its grayed. I don´t load the files manually like the mds files who i read need to be loaded separate, like boot,phone,pda.
Just take the whole tar file and load it through one package button.
Then i press start and the phone starts to flash, after a while i got to the reboot screen when i should press on the phone reboot i cant move around here just press reboot i can do.
After that the phone boots up and i see the orginal starting logo for android 2.2 who was on it when i bought it but the phone still stucks on the android logo?!?
Anyone can help me whats wrong? tried to go down to android 2.1, still stuck on boot logo after reboot.

---

Odin alwAYS says big partition size but countinues anyway when i got to the first reboot menue when i should press the center button to accept reboot i see there is a error on f: who it says but maybe that dosent matter...
But then when its done i have the reset at 200sec the phone stucks on logo.
I have deleted everything on the sd card and tried again with flash with odon same result.
I can have the phone in download mode so that works anyway, but could anyone guess what could be the problem, tried different europe 2.2 versions no luck same logo , and all after the cyanogenmod who failed .
Is the phone bricked or do i do somthing other wrong here?

---

Same problem here
m also facing the same problem, im not liking cynogen mode for galaxy5. someone please tell me how to flash with froyo

---

Your phones are not bricked, but in order to get back from CM to stock firmware you will need first of all to upload this file using ODIN multiupload.com/OW3LQG8PZB
I really think this will help you in solving your issue. At least this tip worked more than once for me.

Finally no boot loop for me. i needed to manual load the files boot,phone,pda and so on with files.. not so easy to find them.
When i tried alot of "one file tar files" and choose one package as install way. boot loop was there everytime i think i got the mds files from a english android 2.2 version and then loaded every file manual and unchecked one package, boom then the phone started up again finally!
Can i now flash the phone with a one package file?
like the GT-I5500YKANEE "Sweden" because my phone is Swedish, or should i leave it with the english version on the phone?

@ajesh
Sure, it's already been documented by CM7 developer right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15290648#post15290648 All I have to add to psyke's explanation is that you will need to unarchive the .rar file (not the .tar itself) before uploading with Odin as Odin need a .tar file for one file upload and it can not read .rar files.
@dragonevo
Ja visst, you should be able to upload whatever firmware you want and if you ever get stuck again at boot screen after downgrading from CM to stock firmware, do not hesitate to follow the procedure with I5500-2.0.9-Downgrade.tar file.

---

If i want to try to flash it again i still need to fix clockwork first on the phone?
I cant flash the Cyanogenmod file direct by odin?

Everytime that you want to get back to CM you will have to install ClockworkMod first as you need its recovery in order to update firmware using a .zip file. Then if you are going back to stock firmware you will need to upload the Downgrade file via Odin so it could format your system partition with RFS file system.

Search Google for OW3LQG8PZB and then go to the homensdoamanha.com link (about the 3rd one down). Use Google Chrome to translate the page from Portuguese, or Google Translate if you don't have Chrome installed.
About 1/2 way down the comments there are some more links to possibly OW3LQG8PZB or equivalent files.
I've not used/downloaded the file myself as I just flashed my Europa with an older firmware to get it out of the boot loop, but you may not be prepared to try that.
The first link on the page for the ROM file (in Portuguese it says "Firmware: Clique aqui!") takes you to an advert page. Look in the top right corner and it will say "skip ad", and will then take you to the file on Rapidshare.
Sorry about the cryptic remarks about the file/link locations, but the forum is overly user-unfriendly to new registrants. There's quite a lot of good info on here, but it doesn't inspire me to contribute much... I wonder how many others have been put off too?!
Hope it helps you.
Andy.

@nileshpandey84,
Go to download mode by pressing volume down+center button+power and plug it in to the pc....
( Btw how will u reboot your phone using odin !!? )
If that doesn't work reboot your pc and try again.

Same problem (almost!!)
A while ago something went wrong when flashing my phone to cyanogen mod 9. So when I booted up my phone it got stuck on the GT-i5500 logo. Now (after what seems ages of re-flashing and one click unbrick) it displays Phone---(!)----PC.
Is that good or bad?
Odin can't flash my phone either, it just gets stuck on setting up a connection or it just comes up with fail. One click unbrick doesn't work either.
HELP!!

---

It's a common situation. Just remove battery, restart winz if you already tried to flash once into this session, start Odin, put battery into the phone and connect it to the PC.
Usually for me it always worked this way.. the ! means that a flash process is been interruptes manually or maybe for unknown reasons (file corrupted? )

Did you install the right hotfix for your version? Every release has different hotfix!, and you have to install ONLY the last one available for your version.. so if psyke released hotfix-XXXXXXX_01 and hotfix-XXXXXX_02 you must install only the 02 ones..

Same problem, the screen blinks on boot
Hi,
I have a problem similar (or the same) as the one in the first post.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5/Corby, I5500, the operator is TIM (Italy). I've rooted it, then installed MAD Manager, installed ClockWorkMOD and flashed the last version of CyanogenMod. It worked quite good, the only thing that didn't work was wireless tethering. However, it was very slow, because of the small RAM. So I decided to shrink the main SD partition and add a little SWAP, then enable the apposite option in the Advanced tab in Settings. But, after a reboot, it din't swapon the partition. So I enabled ADB and (throught Linux) opened a root shell and ran "swapon /dev/block/xxxxxx#p#". It worked. But I didn't want to open an adb shell or a terminal after every reboot to enable swap. I googled a bit, then read somewhere that a /system/etc/init.d script might have done the trick. So I made a little script with my PC:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 || echo "Unable to enable swap, please insert the SD card."
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=60;
then pushed it into /system/etc/init.d/83swapon
The filesystem is read-only

I remounted /system in rw, and tried again.
No space left on device.

I removed Apollo, a media player included with the rom I downloaded, and tried again, getting again "no space...".
After a bit of hacking I decided to put the script into /data, then make it executable and make a symlink in init.d that points to it.
I didn't manage to remounte read-only /system, so I didn't remount it at all.
I rebooted the phone to check that it was working, but the screen started blinking. The only thing I was able to do was removing the battery then starting it in download mode by pressing Volume down, Center and Power.
I've made a video: youtu.be/SM7dXfCa4dI
I tried to flash the stock Samsung ROM using ODIN, but ODIN makes it reboot and blink again. I don't know what to do, the link in the fourth answer doesn't work... can someone reupload that file or suggest me a better solution?
Thanks
