Hi all,
I am fairly new to XDA, and used the HTC Touch Diamond 2 thread to install android on my device. However, since the short batterly life bugged me alot I decided to get the rather cheap Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 until new phones end 2011/begin 2012 will be released.
I tried to search for a S5660 thread on the XDA forums but I couldn't find anything about this phone. Did I not search properly or is this phone just no interesting to developers? I'm looking for info mainly on a android 2.3 update.
Regards
I've been searching for this too for few days now with zero result.
I hope someone soon come out with the utility to root it easily.
Thanks.
My wife has the Gio. So i hope that we find many people who are interested on customizing this phone.
what will happen if I use one click root application for other galaxy device? has anyone try it before?

There is no way yet to remove the galaxy gio, free (but you can buy a code to unlock it).
SuperOneClick workss, I hope there comes a rom/kernel soon to get it OC to 1ghz
Thanks,
Does this mean that the method of Hex-editing "nv_data.bin" file that works on Galaxy S is not for Gio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045)
Also i want to backup the /efs and imei. But right now the phone is new and very fast and i am wondering if it safe to root it without slowing down or bricking the phone. I really want to backup the system folder as it is under contract so i need not to void warranty.
Can any give some advice plz????
I can confirm this works fine:

but too bad I can't find modified ROM for this model.
After I installed ROM Manager, when I attempted to install CWM, Gio is not listed in the phone model available.. It's just too bad.

I can also confirm SuperOneClick works fine on the Galaxy Gio. But I'm in the same boat - ROM Manager doesn't recognize the Gio. Any hope?
I rooted with SuperOneClick, straight up install and run with nothing fancy, and root works just fine. I haven't noticed any difference in performance, better or worse. However, ROM Mananger and Clockwork don;t support the Gio yet, and there's no mods out that I know of so overclocking isn't yet an option either.
Now its clear that Gio can be rooted with SOC but as a noob i have two further questions, some help needed plz !
1- Is there any possible way of backing up the current phone state so that in case of screw up i can revert back to original settings to claim warranty ???
2- Lastly if above is successful then does any one know how to remove the network lock to use different operator sims???
I want to know more my GT-S5660 samsung galaxygio. send root software in my postbox
/efs explored
Hey guys,
has any of u tried to explore the /efs or backed up the /efs directory successfully???

hi everybody, I'm new here and this is my first android phone.
this morning I discovered the MIUI themes website and I fell in love
I can't see the time to learn how install them on my gio!
how can we encourage developers to take care about our samsung gio?
I have rooted my galaxy Note II N 7100 and installed 4.2.2 slimbean.I have succesfully installed everything.But the problem is so many feautures are missing like multiscreen, S note , voice recorder . I some how feel like going back to 4.1.2 Jelly bean.I am completely new to this.Please suggest me how to install the original Android OS on my note II N 7100.I would also like to know 'Is slimroms 4.2.2 is an official android release or a third party OS?
Waiting for some suggestions. and thanks in Advance.
As you are new to this I will answer you, all features you missed are found in Samsung based roms only, and slimrom isn't Samsung based rom it is some thing called aosp which is the pure Google os. (without any Samsung apps) so to have these apps again you have to download and install any Samsung based rom called 'Tw' Touch Wizard roms, but please read before you do any thing to be sure not to do any thing wrong

It's easy to go back. Download your original firmware from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin. Extensive guides are available both on xda and all over the Internet. Google is your friend.

Okay so at the moment i have the 4.1.2 Xperian UI ROM which is based off arco's CM10 installed on my gt-i8150t. I've been using custom roms since samsung's official 2.3.6 gingerbread rom, so i've never had samsung's 4.1.2 installed. However I feel like i want to install it right now (the 4.1.2 XXAMH2), but the only problem is it is for the I8150 and not the I8150T. Will this cause any issues with basebands or bricking, or will it just flash as usual (the only difference in the "T" model is the network band it uses).
Thanks in advance
Samsung stopped supporting the W at 2.3.6......so if you've found a 4.x.x rom....it ain't official....it's a custom rom.......

Bro. Its not new. You're flashing the wrong thing. XXAMH2 is for Galaxy Win, not Galaxy W. There have been plentiful rumors of this, but its not true. Samsung (being the arses that they are) ditched this phone and its community. XXAMH2 is for I8552, not I8150.

My phone was working fine before but after updating to official KitKat 4.4, phone started giving trouble like hanging problem, camera problem etc. So, I rooted my phone and installed custom rom - AllianceRom_N7100 on my samsung galaxy note 2. But i'm having trouble with this custom rom as well it is not working fine.
I just want to install stock google rom Jelly bean 4.2 on my note 2 because that was the most stable rom running without any trouble. I have read threads but i haven't found solution for myself yet. Can anyone please guide me how to do the same? Thanks in advance
Hi got the same problem before.. even brick my phone.. fortunately there is sammobile and download the stock rim plus odin then problem solved. . Just register to sammobile anyways it's free.. hope this helps

Hi
Not been here for many years under another name I cant remember.
I have an old Samsung Galaxy GT-S5830i with Android 2.3.6 which I use with my work.
Have updated to Google Play from Market.
Wanting update some of the old apps and install new apps, but it seems my version is out of date/non compatible.
Can this phone be converted to Jellybean from a download etc for the new apps to run on.
Thanks
Solved.
Found a download to Jelly Bean on the site
