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

Hey guys,
has any of u tried to explore the /efs or backed up the /efs directory successfully???

Hi everybody, i have two phones almost similar, a galaxy Gio and a galaxy Ace. Gio has cyanogenmod 7, Ace has stock rom, both of them are rooted.
When i install system files (i.e. using AdAway-->update or Busybox-->install), Ace with stockrom automatically reboots itself but Gio with cyanogenmod don't even require reboot.
The question is... why does ACE reboots? is there a watchdog in stock rom? what if it reboots before the update is completed successfully? Can I disable it?
Thank you
Jack
I have same problem from my Gio but after flashing custom rom
It been fixed so I tink is much more easier flash some stable rom than try disable it

I haven't been able to find a wpa_supplicant file that works with the Galaxy Tab 3 7" (S) (SM-T217S) / Android 4.2.2. I have tried several and was wondering if anyone knew where I should look or what needed to be done to create one instead of me just trying each one I can find that has ANYTHING in common with the stock rom...
