your phone is different. different hardware, etc, sensors and more, so most roms will not work, or it will boot and most things don't work.
hello, iam not stupid,
iam already tried , S5660 firmware, but there is no WIFI and BT drivers and also sensors drivers is differnet, nothing more
there is two ways( i mean)
1.give into korean firmware all languages, and all will work...
2.give into EUROPE firmware drivers for WIFI ( i know there is bcm4329 chip) , BT and also for sensors( sensors is not very important, because you can use mobile without rotation and works good)
i had all firmwares, opensource from Korean GIO(SHW-m290) and also there is a lot of custom firmwares for Europe GIO(s5660)
i mean it can work , but this need some good developer who can make it together, because i already tried system.rfs files , but i dont excatly know which files is language files or which files is drivers etc...

try stock rom for S5660
but dont use S5660 kernel. use SHW-M290 kernel.
then, look at
- /system/etc and /system/wifi on both rom. u'll know the different. and replace it
- replace sensor module from SHW-M290 rom. usually can found on /system/lib/hw
- if bluetooth still not working, try to replace /sytem/bin/hciattch and module for bluetooth. (on S5660: BCM2049C0_003.001.031.0088.0094.hcd) usually can found on /system/bin or /system/etc/firmware
hello mate , i cannot beleive somebody found
so i will try this today , and will leave result here, but i had one problem which file is kernel?
because in stock rom of both firmwares is just 8 files
recovery.img is just recovery
system.rfs there is all important things
boot.img
amms
arm11boot
mibib
oemsbl
qcsbl
also in s5660 rom in one file more CSC.rfs ( country soruce code)
i already tried make together some roms from these both but sometimes starts , sometimes not starts good
so this is reason why i ask somebody who can help me with this
from my meaning is good to replace just drivers in stock SHW-M290 rom
, because for example , all stock and custom roms working good on SHW-m290 exept wifi,BT and sensors
thanks again
Boot.img is kernel
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
without luck today my friend, tried, swh kernel on s6550 stock rom
also tried replace drivers, without any luck
do you know which file is language in system,rfs
many thanks
is there anybody to help? where i can found languages ?
where i can open boot.img or etc files?

you can mount it with loop option with linux
yes already checked, but there is no any like this file
SENSORS done
now iam on GIO pro 1,6 rom already replace some files,( system.rfs)
sensors, working good, all rom is like charm, just wifi and BT still cannot work
on s5660 rom is folder wifi on root of system.rfs, but on shw-m290s rom is no like this folder, just inside etc, but already replace all etc folder, also BT module and still error mesage on wifi turns on ...

mate please i know root, but i dont exactly know how to export ? abd apk?
how it works ? is there any tutorial ? i really wanna to make working rom with multilanguage, cheers
Search xda or google on installing ADB.
If succesfully installed, you can open a command prompt
Start- execute - cmd.exe - type ADB - adb.exe starts -type adb devices for conection - then you need the commands, will give them when you come to this, just reply

Hi, I have a Samsung i780 and I have put sevaeral roms fine but never could put a radio rom. So I can not use it as phone if not as a Wifi PDA.
Surfing web I have found that a tool box for Omnia i900 can serve for revive the radio section. Anyone does know of some definitive solution to my lost RADIO? Thank you!
PS: I have tried without siccess hundred of times installing SAMSUNG CDMA MODEM Driver and other solutions described in this forum.
You can't flash with an official updater or a full rom (.img file)?
It let me upload PDA ROM only.
On the PHONE ROM step, always end with the famous KVM error messages.
My i 780 is a manufactuurer's unlocked model and I dont know the correspondent official updater.

So I recently bought the m99 from fastcardtech, and rooted it easily with SuperOneClick. I am unable however to install ClockworkMod in any way or form on the device. It identifies itself as a G2x in the model, uses a MTK 6573 processor.
Anyone else have this phone and figure out a way, I'm completely lost and have search for a good week now trying to figure out a way to get ClockWorkMod on this thing.
(also I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, since there is no forum for my phone model).
Hi There ,
would you please tell me where can i download the original ROM or a full backup for this phone .. i got this phone yesterday and i managed to root it and delete all the chinese apps .
Thanks

Hello
You have the M99 with Ui iphone?
Did you have the room original? Was nice we get this room available, before try the OC and new rooms.
Any bugs find yet?
Thanks
help me too.. is this a bug?
Did you have the market worked on your phone?
My version is 2.3.6 from android, but the markets i install open, then when i try to download some app they market (process com.vending.android) has stopped unexpectedly
You have this problem to?
Guys ..
To root this phone you have 2 options :
1- SuperOneClick 2.3.3
2- The Chinese root
both are listed at a thread called (Gooapple v5 issues) on this fourm . you also need to install the the drivers for this phone which btw are the same drivers for the GooApple v5 , cuz both phones use the MTK6573 .
for the market problem .. try to install an older market ver.
now I have the phone , but unfortunately things went south couple days ago when i installed some fonts from the android market and forgot to change the permissions . the phone now is stuck at start up logo ,, i tried the wipe and restore to factory options but nothing worked .. the only way i can get it to work is to flash it with the original rom again .i've contacted Fastcardtech to get the update.zip rom for the M99 Google 4s+ , but i haven't heard from them .
so if you have the update.zip rom for M99 Google 4s+ please post a link so i can download it ..
Thanks
Thanks for reply!
Wich market version you use?
Your M99 was from fastcardtech? android 2.3.6?
Well i can help you but im noob in android, how can i get this zip file, or maybe make a "image" of this rom phone like they came to send to you (if this is possible)

i'm looking for both now (rom and a reliable recovery) that can actually work on our phones
i've been looking through the chinese forums in the last couple days , but still no luck .. the problem is the name M99 dosn't exist in thier forums they only have the old ver M98 .. so our phone must have a different name other than M99 ...
i can't really remember which market ver worked , i've tried alot of versions but i'm sure the one that worked was one of the old vers . i wish my phone was working so i can help ya there .
yes i got it from fastcardtech and it has the 2.3.6 with UI rom .
i'll keep looking and i will let you know .
Thanks
Did you try the cyanongean??

Hi guys, I am from the thread "Gooapple v5 issues" I could maybe help you as it is almost the same device.
@IIIVIII What happened to your phone?
Great News ..
i finally gained access to my phone's root while looping through Android Commander and i've managed to reset the permissions to the fonts and now the phone is alive and kicking
@ von275 & Mouratti .. Thank you guys for offering to help i really appreciate it .
here's how to get any Androidmarket ver working on the M99 :
1- root your phone.
2- install root explorer (attached)
3- copy the attached file (Vending) to your phone's root (system/app) and make sure u set the permissions as follows:
Owner: Read /Write
Group: Read
Others: Read
To make Google sync work for contacts do the same as the above steps for these attached files :
1-GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
2-GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
btw. with root explorer you can remove all the unwanted chinese apps like youku etc. from your root (system/app) just don't go wild ..
i'll be coming back later on with more tweaks ..

I didn't try, im noob in this, and im afraid stuck my device.
Which room is it?
@von275
the stock recovery on the M99 only allows the official M99 update.zip rom to be installed .. it won't allow the gooapple nor any other rom to be installed trust me i've tried .. besides the M99 has 2 sims and a different screen so i really doubt that it would work even if we try it with a recovery that allows custom roms ...
@Mouratti
i don't have the official rom yet we should all e-mail Fastcardtech and ask them to provide the official rom for us to download .. sooner or later somthing will go wrong with our android sys and we will need to flash the official rom again .
regarding the calender .. i will look into it when i get home hopefully there's a simple fix for it .
Hi All
I found out that it is easy to replace the Wifi driver of any firmware
Wifi drivers & Sound control are located at FFS file
\SystemFS\Driver\
Wifi uses simple Wlan_bcm4329_***.bin files
So a simple replacement of these files will lead to a change in the driver (Can be done with PFS file)
I tried this with Wifi driver from XXJL2 on XXLB2
I am satisfied with Wifi performance now but i like this game
I am looking for a firmware with the best Wifi driver
Any suggestions will be really appreciated
Best Regards
I don't remember all the drivers, but never had problem with wifi.
Maybe someone who take more care than me can help
Nice find, will wait for your feedback
A PFS file to test old Wifi driver from XXJL2 on any bada 2.0 firmware
Please test and give feedback if Wifi is better with it
Best Regards

So we a can add the drivers from 1.2? I always felt that wifi was more stable under 1.2 than 2.0...
Yes
It is like a router firmware
Flash the file attached above with Multiloader to get Wifi driver from XXJL2
Please i need feedback on this
Best Regards
Maybe in drivers we can unlock wifidirect options ?
Or is it blocked in firmaware ?
this method can lead to small patches for firmwares. i like that
we can use this to create customized firmwares for everyone by using pfs updates.
for example: i hate it that they removed the front cam option in the new betas and it would be great if you could upload the latest cam driver with front cam option as pfs file
greets,
Max: it's already done, using camero.so file from kk5 firmware and modifying signature in GeneralSoInfo.so.sig
pawlakpl: don't think that will work... but cost nothing to test... maybe with S8600 wifi drivers.

OK, I uploaded the file, wifi works as before I'll test if I can feel the difference... Is there a method to check the version of the driver?
Yes i found the version stated in Wlan_bcm4329_rte.bin & Wlan_bcm4329_rte-wapi.bin files
You can check it by opening the file with Hex editior

Hi Mylove90,
For testing, I took all Wlan_bcm4329*.bin files from S8600 XXKI9 firmware.
It's still works on wifi, no difference.
But strange thing, it change something on volume.
I can't explain it because my poor english... but it seems there is also for audio in this files
Edit: my falt, I used all the driver repertory lol
Is it possible that you took WM8994_EQ_Data_Load.txt in your PFS by mistake ?!!!
Because this file is for sound driver
If you didn't then I've no idea WTH is going inside these files
Sorry further research need to be done

i tested your wifi.pfs file but i still have weak wifi signal even in front of my router. where i can find .pfs files of different firmwares?
Sorry
It is already included in Elite Rom so you didn't have to try it
This is the best Wifi driver built for S8500/S8530
I guess that getting source code for the driver appears to be easy as it is used in Galaxy S so it should be open source
But not idea how it compiled for bada
Best Regards
I'm using connectify in my laptop to make a hotspot, I get full signal in the top menu bar
-40db in a distance of 50 cm of the computer
s8530 xxla1
csc ver : s8530Oxfla2
okay
please try the PFS file included in this thread and inform me if the signal get better

How can i extract the wifi.pfs from the fw i have?
you can get wifi drivers found in your firmware files by extracting FFS file from your firmware and going to path
/SystemFS/Drivers
you can compare files after extracting my file
all extraction process is done with Wave Remaker
Best Regards
Not sure, if S8500XELF1/S8500CISLF1 SER contains better WiFi Driver...
Maybe more luck...

Hi!
I have some problem with my padfone. Does not working wi-fi and bluеtooth modules.
For repair I need firmware for padfone. Please if anyone have ..... share.
Asus has released PadFone Kernel Code for Android 4.0.3 ICS OS (V9.18.8.2)
Can i make firmware use PadFone Kernel Code?
How can i do it?
Kernel source code allows you to compile a Kernel for the Padfone.
It is not the complete firmware you are looking for
Please tell me more about the problems you are having. I understand it is with the WiFi and BT modules, what have you tried to fix the problem?
juzz86
Thank you for your reply.
My problem was due to my wrong actions.
I've got root access to the Padfone.
I tried to install (Bluetooth SIM Access Profile) android-rsap
Then did the factory reset.
As a result of these actions, there was a change of some files that are associated with the work of the module bluetooth. Now when you try to enable Wi-fi or Bluetooth does not work.
In the directory / system / bin / some binary files (ls, ln, mkdir and etc.) Have a size of 0kb.
It seems to me that if build the kernel for padfone it should fix the problems.
I tried to restore the firmware after an android recovery e3 but recovery directory is empty.
Please help meee
ps GSM module is perfect working
I see. I'll see what I can find out regarding a firmware for you, have you received the OTA at all yet?
Also, are you able to perform a reset/reflash through the ASUS PC Suite software, something like what Samsung Kies offers?
http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/#download
Yes, I received OTA, now build number IML74K.CHT_Padfone-9.18.8.41_CHT_9.1.15-0.
Before update yet i had problem with camera (don't startup). But it problem was resolved, once i applied the latest updates OTA. But it did not resolve problem with bluetooth and wi-fi.
Out of curiosity, how big (size in MB) was the OTA?
I know little about these things, but I'm wondering if we could find the OTA file, extract the system.img, and manually flash it through cmd prompt using recovery?
124,1 MB. I think that fully update be 300-400 МБ
Hmm. That's probably not going to help us.
There is one more avenue you could try. Send a private message to XDA member 'Football'. He leaks ROMs and firmwares for devices. He may be able to help you out?
I know he does a lot of HTC devices, but he's been known to be able to source others, too
ok thank you. I will try to contact him.
No worries mate
Asus released firmware.

Excellent mate, that should set you on the right track.
Good luck!
Hi, I have a newbie question about android
Recently I've bought a new galaxy w. I've turned it on and figured out that it has a support of English and Malaysian language.
I'm a russian native speaker, so I would like to change a ui to russian language.
I mean not just being able to type sms in russian, but the whole ui (like application names, menues, and so on).
So, I would like to know how conceptually it can be done?
Is it just a matter of changing some locale related files or I need to install something?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, Thanks a lot for the answer and sorry for the late reply
I've installed this application, but it seems like it provides only partial solution.
I saw that some applications really were named in russian (like google maps and google play)
But it did nothing with menus and icons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, and so on).
When I chose Settings -> Language I don't see russian language and I guess this is the problem. I understand that more locale application only changes the locale and its good enough for applications having internationalization support by themselves but it doesn't affect the whole UI language of the system.
The issue looks deeper than only installing the right locale.
Meanwhile I've read about different ROMs available. I'm still vague on details but can ROM installation resolve the problem? If so, what ROM should I install?
Some more details that can shed some light:
- I'm located in Israel and the phone is bought there
- Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXMLM3-CL1103265
[email protected] #3
-Baseband version
I8150DXLC1
- Android version 2.3.6
-PDA I8150 DXLM3 (to obtain this I used *#*#1234#*#*)
Disclaimer, I'm quite a technical guy (programmer with ~15 years experience) so stuff like rooting the phone and installing custom modes of os version doesn't scare me, I just only never dealt with android phones
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi,
After reading and learning a little bit, I've tried to root the device, but with no luck
I tried all 3 methods I've found
here
but no one didn't really work
I'm quite sure I did everything like it was explained.
In the first method it wrote me the the update.zip was installed successfully, but after the reboot the phone wasn't rooted.
I've paid attention that in logs (accessible through recovery console there are a lot of messages of type:
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state - looks like its an invalid path.
So any help will be appreciated here
Thanks
OK. It looks like after a couple of hours I've got a root access to the phone.
Thought someone can be interested...
I've used the first method and it didn't work.
I've made factory reset (also available in recovery console) and then came across mounting option in menu.
So I've mounted everything I could there and then re-applied the update.zip. Rebooted the phone and now it seems to have a root access (I have a superuser application).
Now the next challenge will be installing the ROM with russian language native support (in android jargon "flashing" ) with Odin.
I've downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com. And planning to use this tutorial
And I believe I'll be happy with my russian language
Since my experience with this stuff now is impressive _one_ day, so
could someone point me whether i'm in the right direction at all?
Thanks
Install the latest firmware XXLM8, i think it support russian language via the tutorial how to install via odin, then u will need to use the first method to root the firmware again...thats all

Thanks a lot!
It looks I did exactly as you wrote, and it worked great
I didn't find XXLM8 firmware on sammobile, instead I used XXLM6 which is also good enough for my needs.
Thanks a lot for your help, mohza!
