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 ?
How Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Samsung Galaxy 551.
When In ROM MANAGER,
I click on Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery option, I don't see Samsung Galaxy 551 in phone model list.
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

Try Volume down, the center button and power button
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 : /

great that's work perfectly but do U know how to hard reset when phone powered off ?? :S:S
live wallpaper
guys anybody how to enable live wallpaper in 551 i used terminal emulator but it sys busy box permission denied any solution for this please help me
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.
Hello,
am a new member here and need an urgent help in a complicated issue ( at least for me ;(,)
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.
the last try was the problem; I installed a gingerbread rom and it was good, then I tried to reboot it in system recovery mode as usual but this time the boot screen was different, plz refer to the attached image.
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

install recovery, enter it by pressing Vol+, and flash PreRooted LP firmware.
Hi Guys,
Well, obviuosly I can be thought as a thief, but believe me I'm not. I am quite desperate.
I had just bought a redmi note 2 device for my daughter. Unfortunatley, after 2 days of usage, it began shutting itself down, and also didn't let me open it unless I pulled out the battery and set it back.
The seller offered me to to reset the device and reboot, which I did.
But then, I bumpped into this screen - "Activate This Device".
The tradgedy is that my little child created an Mi account, with fabricated email address, and also she didn't take a note of the password!
So, this new device is now unfunctional for me! And my daughter cries out loud... :crying:
I contacted the seller again - he told me that he could try reinstalling android, but he is in doubt if it'll help at all.
Can someone advise?
Many thanks!

And from the state of this screen, how can I do it?
1. Install twrp on the phone. Google keyword "redmi note 2 twrp fastboot". I cant post link here. Or try download it from xiaomi(dot)eu. Redmi note 2 codename is hermes.
2.Download any cm based rom. There are two unofficial cm rom on this forum, and flash it using twrp.

I noticed that pressing power button + Volume Down brings me to some Fastboot screen. Can I use this fastboot?

Installing twrp using fastboot requiring installing some driver on pc and some command line. If you're good with that, go ahead.
Easier method is by installing twrp using MI Recovery by pressing power button + vol up. Download twrp from xiaomi(dot)eu website.
You don't have to change any ROMs I don't think.
Factory reset the phone by holding the power and vol - buttons to get into the stock recovery and then factory reset the device. Create a new Mi account using a legit email and verify it. BAM!

I flashed weekly rom from xiaomi.eu (6.2.25). it automatically asked my mi-acc password without entering my email or mi-id. and if i skip it, my phone is locked until I entered it.
If you access you mi account from the desktop website you can reset the phone number by following their instructions. I think it takes 3 days to be evaluated but after that you can use it again.
hey guys I wanted to install a new OS on my SM-T113 samsung tab 3 lite and i simply install twrp for this particular device from twrp official site then. Every went straight with oding and downloading twrp recovery but after rebooting it shows a red exclamation mark on the side of screen and the tab reboot simultaneously and it seems that it is in a loop please help i have important data on that phone :crying:
Try flashing stock rom for ur device..u will get the stock rom from sammobile.....
[Tip: if u want to forcefully go into download mode hold volume down and power until a black screen appears then hold volume down+home+power button to go to download mode....
[Edit:did some research there is no available twrp for sm t113....so u must have flashed wrong twrp and gotten ur self in this problem....]

U could have flashed the home_csc file in the csc slot instead of regular csc in odin....doing so will make ur device not wipe data....
Still tho happy to know it works
