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?
Hi, I installed the SGT7 CM10.1 custom rom and after that the TVCatchup application wasn't working anymore. With the Amazon OS it was working without any issue. I am wondering if it is because of the HD codecs issue with that rom or not? If any UK member can confirm this, it would be really helpful.
Thanks

I can nearly guarantee that it is an issue with the HDcodec. If you want your video apps I would go back to stock, or wait if you can for the HDcodec fix. You can always try your video apps, but I would be prepared for most of them not to work. Some will but it's a known issue that is being worked on.
Thanks for the reply mate. I read that Hashcode is working on it. I hope that it will be fixed soon. I love the CM 10.1 rom.

Hello, I am very new to this stuff and recently flashed a rom known as Galaxy Mod. The rom itself is working fine but playstore keeps crashing. Any help? sorry if this has been already asked.
Edit: NVM, I got it working. If anyone is having the same problem just disable and enable it. Seemed to work for me.
Hello everyboby,
After testing viper, hdr and insercoin, i choose insertcoin. But my insertcoin market doesn't work. If some one can help me it's cool.
Nobody have same probleme ? Guys, i need help please. This Rom is top, but without market it's impossible to personalise...... Maybe there's oser way to put new theme ?
Insertcoin is not that massively modified, don't think the rom is the issue here. Maybe it's an updated play store apk file. Flash another rom and try again. That's faster then waiting for replies here.
And seen the massive replies you got it's unlikely the rom......let's be real
Hi
I am new to the root / rom update world of android.
My friend just gave me her GT-S7560M which is running 4.0.4. I can somehow able to root it by using Kingroot after searching hours on internet.
I found that there are some more advance android version like Jelly Bean and kitKat.
I keep searching the internet but only found that the bluetooth of the phone will be disable for those new system. (since I need bluetooth badly)
I found the below link and it seems to difficult to me, and just wonder are there any updated version that I can updated to ?(more advance than 4.0.4)

Can any brothers here can help?
Thank you very much for your time and help.
