Just wondering if someone could clarify about this model over the rest. Am I limited to rom's just made for the M model then? or do the normal roms I see like the cm7 ones in the development section of this model work on the m model?
Check this out. It might of some help to you.

Hi I have the "m" model as well and I haven't had much luck with the majority of roms made for the euro version of our phone. Darkshado had made a ROM called ArpegGioMod ROM that is made for the m series and works quite well. I use his ROM and I'm quite happy with it versus the stock ROM.
I flashed cyanogenmod 7.1 on my phone using Odin and by leaving out the phone package which seemed to work pretty well, but after a day my phone could not connect to the network to make phone calls or use 3g so I flashed back.
Let me know how it works for you. Thanks.

I have the s5660m as well and I've been using cyanogenmod 7.2 rc0 build4 since it came out. Everything works except gps.
I also have the s5660m , but it is unlocked. I am able to install any firmware, once is it a GIO rom. Go to ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368587 It has a program to unlock your phone and also some other samsungs. Try it out.
I have an s5660m and I can download CM7 and CM9
I also have an unlocked and rooted 5660M. Has anyone been able to successfully install ClockWordMod recovery on the M? If so, please post a short how to.
Thanks
Hi. I've a related question since i've a "L" model (as in S-5660L). Am i stuck like the M models or can i do whatever i want with this?

Gio s5560m Stuck data mode deactivated.
Hello all,
I bought a Gio M about a month ago good phone and happy so far. Problem I've had is 3g is OFF ---> power button- Phone Options menu - Network Data mode is deactivated. Push to turn ON and stays deactivated. Go into system, network, and yes data packets is checked on.
Phone is stock no tweaks no extras, did a clear cache and reset phone to OE spent 2 hours with tech support on Virgin canada and Samsung. Virgin blames phone, Samsung Blames virgin 3g network.
My question is could the phone have a bad firmware flash from factory it came with 2.3.4
I am going to go back to Best buy next weekend and see if I can test with another gio. If 3g works on test unit then I'll send this one in for repairs I guess.
Any other suggestions?
Did you try another Virgin SIM? That's one thing I'd look into.
Also if you're in the Montreal area or in the GTA (I'm not sure where else) there are Samsung Service Centres you could take this to.
Show up in person and have them diagnose the problem. You might even be able to wait while they work on it if you have a bit of spare time.
2.3.4 is the proper version number for the stock ROM on the 5660M. No updates so far.
Gio s5560m no 3g
Have not tried another virgin sim. I do have a spare that came with the phone spose I could try it although its sealed up in the packaging still.
Live in northern Alberta and the nearest city with virgin phone sales is 2hrs away hence the wait to get fixed. Surprise surprise Samsung did not phone me back today like they said they would either.
Found one other post on here of a fellow in Norway with no 3g can't enable or disable but no answers on his post to the problem. I'll wait till the weekend and go to the city and see if Bestbuy has an activated sim they can put in and try.
Thanks for the help and I will update when I get it figured out.
i had the same connection problems, try going back to your stock ROM and take note of your APN settings, once you flash back to CM you'll notice the rom made several changes!
changing the APN settings back to stock, fixed any connection issues i had
hope i helped! (i'm using CM7.2 RC1 B1 KANG on my BELL 5660M)
s550m 3g
Problem is I am using the stock rom, the rom that came with the phone is the one giving the problems. Sending the phone back for "repairs" and we will see what comes of it.
I'll keep you all updated.

I'm new here and I tried to read all the information to get a good idea around flashing the S5660M. I also have the bell version.
I'm going to put down the steps, if anybody can give me pointers or correct any mistakes. That'd be great, I want to put CM7.1 or 7.2, whichever one is stable enough for all functionality to work. Speed is not an issue as I am giving this phone to my grandpa who needs a chinese language display system which Samsung didn't include in the original ROM.
1. Root phone
2. Install ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Reboot into recovery mode, make backup using Nandroid? I heard there's other tools that can be used. I'd like to backup the original ROM.
4. Download the desired CM from recovery mode onto SD card
5. Delete cache and wipe data
6. Choose the new ROM to be flashed and wait
I think that's the general idea, is there any key steps I am missing?
Sorry again for asking but I want to make sure I got the correct steps for S5660M.

You are right. But remember after you flash CM7, then install gapps.zip wich can be found in cm7 thread, so you have google apps, then your done.

Thanks for your info.
I read some more stuff yesterday(a lot of variance )
Some people mentioned titanium backup. Which one is better? nandroid or titanium backup to save up the original ROM?
Also, is Universal_GB_ROOT_v2.zip the best/safe way to root a S5660M?

Yes, the gb_root.zip or superoneclick.
Superoneclick can be downloaded from shortfuse.org
Make sure you have the usb drivers, usb debugging on.
Then connect your phone via usb, wait for it to connect and press root, then your done

Just doing independent research
From 1:10 wonder has boot loop problem
Although you already do flashing well
No kidding, but the characteristic for the phone that possible have a boot loop are always have FORCE CLOSE app and doing RESTART itself
And in next day it restart and only showing samsung logo...
In this situation you can't get to recovery
It can fixed but only if we get stock firmware with wipe and boot loader to fix this issue
Maybe I8150ZSKI3 Android 2.3.6 (ASIA) can helped, all component to do hard reset is in this firmware

Sorry, I can't help, but in my flashing thread, it has also been reported. But I think it happens more often on phones with asian firmwares. I had one report in the german forum too, but I am not sure if it was an "asian" version.
I think if something happens while the firmware update with an asian firmware, it might end up in a bootloop. I am not sure, but I think it makes also the partitioning of the storage, isn't ?
It would be good if we could get a "gettogether" in this thread and have all the reports of the soft-/hardbricked SGWs. So we can analyse and maybe find out the reason or atleast narrow down the issue.
I would like to know:
1. Did you have a custom rom before the flash ?
2. Was your phone rooted ?
3. Did you make the internal/external swap ?
4. Did ODIN say PASS before you disconnected(before the bootloop happend) ?
5. Any other fancy modifications you have done and what we should know ;-D ?

My team already try for asian rom that you provide in your tread and the new version of stock rom. it didn't do full wipe just normal flash like the others
Only stock rom & rooted bro...
PASS but the phone not turn on -_-"
No swap partitions
Just regular phone for daily use
If we can found the stock rom with wipe and bootloader still can be fixed
Hopefully it can be fixed without go to samsung -_-
All of us must aware for this issue bro..

I have edited my thread, it makes people now more alert about the risk of bricking.
Maybe it is more secure always wiping everything using ClockWorkMod:
Using this course of action:
1. Backup everything manually what you can!
2. Flash via ODIN ClockWorkMod Recovery on your device(english). Scroll down to other and select ClockWorkMod.
3. Once ClockWorkMod is flashed, go to the recovery:
a) backup and restore -> backup to external sdcard
b) backup and restore -> restore from external sdcard
This is to make sure the files aren't corrupted, if this is successful you can be sure everything is backupped. If you get a MD5 mismatch something went wrong. Try again!
c) wipe data/factory reset -> confirm
d) wipe cache partition -> confirm
e) mounts and storage -> format system -> confirm
f) mounts and storage -> format cache -> confirm
g) mounts and storage -> format data -> confirm
4. You restart your phone in Download Mode and flash a firmware using this instruction, which is provided in the thread under Firmwares.
5. Now you will have to flash again the ClockWorkMod recovery to restore your data.
Than open ClockWorkMod Recovery and:
backup and restore-> advanced restore from external sdcard -> select the backup -> Restore data -> confirm.
Now if you want the stock recovery back(needed for OTA updates) instood of ClockWorkMod, than go to the Others or Sonstiges and select the stock recovery, and flash it on your device.
6. Now you should have a fresh device like you have never flashed before!!!
Oh yeah, the reason why you have to make these complicated steps: Because you were flashing all different kinds of firmwares, you system will be a mess. To make sure your device is not a overwritten old firmware these steps are necessary.
Flashing via ODIN does not delete all old data !!!
I have to say also: I have flashed all the ROM's successfully before posting them in my thread about flashing.

Yes he already inform this...
But the question why just only him that get boot lop, this is kind a strange because another user didn't face the problem like this
His problem happened after applying V6 SC
I know that V6 SC update 9 RC6 have a change for boot lop, because for applying 100% must integrated built.prop
So many friend of my use V6 SC update 9 RC4 that more stable for our phone
Actually there is nothing different if we flash with nandroid and update.zip
The script doing same thing except for the user data
nandroid use md5 for more safety flashing
Like i wrote before..
Before this happen the phone always do restart it self
I hope there is any progress for prevent and fix this issue
The user that have this problem, now must go to Samsung to fix it before we know how to fix it
Regards
I'd like to say this sudden restart happen to me quite often while in stock rom, but after I flash custom rom this phenomenon never happen again. This phenomena only happen while I'm on stock rom.

Update for this..
My friend reported..
For my country, we get FULL WARRANTY for this case
and waiting this status until fixed about 2 days
For the first phase they do regular Flashing with STOCK ROM based on country
then it still cannot on (we know already -_-)
We didn't sure yet is the phone will be change with the new one or not because this had implication from hardware issue..
Come back latter..

And my friend want me to re write black notes chapter 3
It will come next week

A little late in reading this post but I also bought my Galaxy W from Ebay. Samsung user agreement states that the phone is guaranteed for 2 years after the date of sale and the agreement is transferable between owners. In other words it doesn't matter who originally bought it but is guaranteed for 2 years and our phone is still less than 2 years old. I know this as had to send mine back and they accepted it.
Ok so long story short my S3 is hard bricked. This was my first try at doing my own root and rom install. Im not sure where I messed up at.
1. I got a toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682
2. Backed up all system files with the toolkit, and saved pics to my computer.
3. downloaded oden and clockworks restore (cant remember the name)
4. did factory reset
5. cleared cache
6. then installed the S3 rom I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656
I followed all the instructions as best I could and it still messed up. is there anything I can do to reset it back to default??
Nothing comes on. no lights, no screen, no sound. only thing I get is if I take out the battery and plug it up i get a led light for about 12 secs.
That rom was for the SGS3 i9300--the international version of the phone, which has different hardware. There are many threads here in the Sprint SGSIII forums with warnings to not flash roms for the i9300 on our phones because doing so will permanently brick our phones...

Hi,
I tried to root (first time) my S3 using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
My S3 is the international version: GT-I9300.
I followed all the steps, except for one bit. In the prompts, I could not find the exact version of my S3. The guide said to use the closest one so I did. My build is JRO03C UBDLJ1 but I used number 9 (see guide photo 2). All went well until my phone won't reboot anymore. Odin and the root application says that everything is fine, except my S3 is stuck at the boot screen (Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with black screen). I can still get into Download or Recovery modes. How do I fix this?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
My thoughts
If you backed up your phone software I would return it to it's original setup first and make sure everything is ok with boot up etc
There may be an issue with the software that you have downloaded (wrong version or just not compiled properly) ....so try another rom or another version of the rom that you are trying to install
I have had this happen (stuck on boot) and another rom has fixed it
I use clockworkmod to install, restore and backup (not everyone likes this but so far I have had no worries)
Hope this helps

Well intially, I was just trying to root. Didn't intend to install any ROM. Since it was pretty much a brand new phone (no personal data), I thought there was no need to backup. So no, I don't have a backup unfortunately

This one (post was in unless kenny moved) is for the US version.
OK I managed to get this thing back working finally. What I did was flash it back to a stock ROM. I couldn't find my original version but close enough, except this version, 4.1.1 doesn't seem to be available (but thats not a big deal).
Now I'm too scared to try root it again lol...
And thanks for all the suggestions!!!
My Answer
Hi onevivip
Before I started installing roms ,I did as much research as possible ....read forum sites etc ...looking at the pros and cons of installing the software
I also read if there are any bugs etc in the rom that may cause any problems ...I save the info to my computer so I can refer to it later if I need to
If you do your homework first this will eliminate a lot of problems ......also check what to do if you think you have bricked your phone
Hope this helps
(((dear developer,
I have a
Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch
This device completely stopped working and no longer capable of being opened again at that time ,later i went to the engineer in charge who did a " ........ " which it returned to work as it was .
after that, i started to download files from network , and during the downloading,it suddenly stopped again. I returned it to the engineer to fix the problem that occurred during loading . he fixed it , but this time when I wanted to use it , I discovered that the " logo" is for another device , namely Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II , not mine 1
I think that my device were charged with " bootloader " Other than that allotted to mine!
Now , the device works with me naturally , but I am having some problems which are as follows :
1 - its not capable to charge when it is off , and it appears to me that it fails every time i try to link it to its charger ! It then goes on to state the case for the recovery mode each time , and then I restart it which goes back to work as usual.
2 - I noticed a difference between the previous state and now in terms of the quality of the work and also problems in charging .
NB:i downloaded a new "Karnel" and and " Bootloader " but that did not work too !
After all what i have wrote to you dear, I want to know ,am i gonna be able to reload the " Flash " without needing "Riff box" ,
Any directly from my computer ?
What if i kept it on its current status , is there any damage to my device now or later? ?
i really need your help ,
Thank you ))))
My advice is to read up really good on PC Odin, and how to flash using it. Then flash a stock, unrooted rom to get you 100% back to where you started. Good luck!

Hey buddy... I'm going to jump in on this, even though JD is the Man. I just don't want you to brick you're device.
Don't download a rom not made for this device ( epic 4g touch ). That is what has put you in this position to begin with. Go to rwilco12's repo. Its in the epic 4g touch forum and go to Android development. Then pick stock roms. Read...read... read. :good:
If you picked the sph - L710...because you saw JD was running that.... consider this.. not everybody who is in here helping, is still running an epic 4g touch anymore. If I'm not mistaken... JD is running an S3 from boost mobile. That is probably why it says L710..I'm not positive. But I am positive that you need to use the roms for this specific device or you're going to brick. It's a miracle you haven't already.
Ask youre buddy if he flashed a bootloader... because I think he did and if that's the case you need to get the epic 4g touch one back.. should be as easy as using Odin and flashing a one click... I'm not positive... but I think this devices bootloader is all tied up in the one clicks... but look around and make sure. You might have to Odin a bootloader first. I'm just not sure as I've never looked into it, but from what I ( think ) I know. Because of this devices kernel/recovery issue. The bootloader is different than most devices and might be all tied together.
I'm sure JD will pop in later after he gets free and let us both know for sure...
Thanks @Gil81. And OP, you may want to thank him as well, because if you had flashed L710 you world have surely bricked. I have moved on to the Galaxy S3(L710), but as Gil can attest to, I was on this phone for a few days . And as usual, he isn't steering you wrong. Download the Samsung drivers to your pc and Pc Odin, then the stock tar of your choice(sph-d710), located here:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...(SPH-D710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GB27/No Data Restore
You can find full restore, no data restore, rooted, unrooted, your call. Read, read, read, before you mess with odin. Then when you're ready, flash the Odin tar, reboot, profit. Good luck, and thanks Gil, good seeing you again bro.

(((dear developer,
I have a
Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch
This device completely stopped working and no longer capable of being opened again at that time ,later i went to the engineer in charge who did a " ........ " which it returned to work as it was .
after that, i started to download files from network , and during the downloading,it suddenly stopped again. I returned it to the engineer to fix the problem that occurred during loading . he fixed it , but this time when I wanted to use it , I discovered that the " logo" is for another device , namely Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II , not mine 1
I think that my device were charged with " bootloader " Other than that allotted to mine!
Now , the device works with me naturally , but I am having some problems which are as follows :
1 - its not capable to charge when it is off , and it appears to me that it fails every time i try to link it to its charger ! It then goes on to state the case for the recovery mode each time , and then I restart it which goes back to work as usual.
2 - I noticed a difference between the previous state and now in terms of the quality of the work and also problems in charging .
NB:i downloaded a new "Karnel" and and " Bootloader " but that did not work too !
After all what i have wrote to you dear, I want to know ,am i gonna be able to reload the " Flash " without needing "Riff box" ,
Any directly from my computer ?
What if i kept it on its current status , is there any damage to my device now or later? ?
i really need your help ,
Thank you ))))
