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,

Hi guys.
I want to set up the Android Emulator for testing ROMs (I'm currently trying to port pacman and dont want to flash everytime i changed sth.). Can anybody tell me how to do that for our device?
I have rooted my Galaxy Note II GT N7105 and change my ROM to Customize ROM. But I found out that i made something wrong that i dont even backed up my imei and my S Pen is not working anymore. So I decided to return my ROM to factory ROM for I think this will help me repair my phone. Please refer to the image for the information of the custom ROM that I installed. Everythings goes well after the installation of the ROM I downloaded (but now I dont know where I downloaded it) until I figured out that my phone is having hard time updating its software. It stocked on Adroid Version 4.1.2 Baseband N7105XXDLL5 Build Number JZ054K.N7105XXDMB2. Can you give me any idea how to fix this problem. Any suggestions are appreaciated. Thanks guys..
i AM CURRENTLY RUNNING ANDROID 4.3 Shiny ROM on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus TORO...I was interested in running 4.4 and the newer kitkat versions of the roms but i know it will brick or soft brick my phone if i try to do it without updating...is there something i have to do first? go back to stock update to 4.4.4 and then re root? I am sorta a noob but i know some things about root. I dont do anything without researching first. Any questions or guidelines for me?

Just follow the instructions in the ShinyRom thread here
forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-6-4-14-shiny-rom-ota-stock-android-t2642375
and you won't have any troubles upgrading your ROM. It's easy and as you already have ShinyRom installed there shouldn't appear any problems!

Only temp root for 5.1.1 is available and it sucks with the ENG kernel. If you can or know anyone who is good at programming we can get a custom kernel made and get full root.
