Hi,

New G5 user here n looking forward to update it with froyo.

Recently, I sent 2 (two) messages to Samsung M'sia OCS asking about the availability of Froyo upgrades.

Their replies below:
1st reply (same question/enquiry)
2nd reply (same question/enquiry)
At first, my initial response was, "WTF?" as they seemed to be ignoring to both my questions/enquiries.

But then, I realized, they might just be saying that the update is already available and the update can be applied at any Samsung's nearest Customer Service Centre!

Not really sure if that's the case or the Customer service personnel were really lazy to answer my (commonly asked) enquiry.

Oh, and can I be added to the dropbox list?

Thanks and long live Galaxy 5 users!

Where is the Samsung Malaysia HQ located? Is it at PJ one, or at Plaza berjaya one?

Edit: Few weeks? Erk!

Maybe because they have to send it to KL HQ (courier charges applicable). If you send it to HQ directly, should be free I think (if still under warranty).

@jaithesimpleguy: Samsung booth City Square in JB, right?

blacktubi, i already PM you, can you add me to the dropbox list? I even cleared my own files in dropbox to make room for this.

THANKXXXXXX!

1. Shud b, never tried it tho.
2. Check to see the app server up or down http://applanet.tumblr.com

Disable WiFi, then try again...

This one, is it? http://www.multiupload.com/YV8HJJXQBD I5500_FROYO_BATFIX_bymotafoca.tar.md5

I just flashed my beloved G5 with Motafoca's 2.0.6 froyo. After first time reboot, it kept saying that process com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly then clicked force close and it kept on repeating, even though I tried to factory reset it. This issue is currently live right now, as I typed, now.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I have installed the SDK, but I can't say I stumbled any instructions to "hard reset" using the sdk tools.

Care to point me to the right direction?

Another note, I followed instruction provided on 1st post by blacktubi.

Tried hard reset it 3 times already. now booting without simcard, seems the com.android.phone has stopped crashing.

What could be the problem?

I did HARD RESET dude. I followed the steps accordingly.

Ishk...

This is what I did:

1. HARD RESET. Phone back to stock came from shop. (Not factory reset, but hard reset using the shortcodes)
2. Opened Odin and selected the i5508 ops then the 2.0.6 tar.md5 (auto checked the file and it was successful verified.
3. Entered download mode then connected with PC using usb (already isntalled Kies)
4.Detected by Odin and shows yellow block on the 1st one
5. Clicked start and waited.
6. Somehow the following steps doesn't show as described on 1st post, it was take to the Samsung Recovery Utils for BML and theres 4 options to choose
-reboot system now
-apply sdcard:update.zip
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
7. Waited --- Then Odin says PASS
8. Nothing happens afterwards, so i selected "reboot system now" and restarted.
9. Nice boot logo show and broought to Froyo (yeay!(?)) but then having com.android.phone crashing.
10. removed simcard, problem gone. WTH?
11. What should I do now?

Thanks for helping out!

Guys, thanks so much for your support and guidance. It helped me alot.

I am now have joined the Froyo brethren!



Thinking that I pulled it off using VirtualBox on Mac, it's quite mind boggling to the reason I went ahead flashing the rom.

Haha But I did it!

Thanks for those who has helped!

Well, it's been fun with Froyo, but with missing compass, felt like the device missing some of its shine as I do travel a lot and if the compass not functioning, then I can't use PapaGo it seems.

Anyway, any tutorial on how to reflash the stock ROM?

Thanks.

Seriously? On Froyo? With the compass not working??

Serious ke dude?
Dont play with g5 enthusiasts!

AWESOME!

try QuickSettings app

Obviously, the web version should offer the latest compared to the cd version.

I agree with you, spacelion, but people still thinks Android apps runs like WinMo.
