worked great, but now my phone is in slovenian! how can I remedy the situation as I am not prepared to take on a new language course to operate my phone.
Sorry I am being a bit thick today but could you please clarify the paragraph for updatation just above the second video?
Should the words in Bold Type say “Recovery Mode” and not ‘Download’ ?
The video mentions the Menu Key, should the keys be Volume/Centre (OK) and Off keys only. ie not the Menu key which is to the left of OK.
Thanks, dont want to get it wrong
you saved my bacon thanks
worked great!!!it’s awsome but i have some problems with the wi-fi….
I’ve read several just right stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how so much attempt you set to create this type of great informative web site.
Dude. GT-I5500 doesn’t have Recovery mode on those buttons. I didn’t wipe cache, is that OK? Froyo starts normally, will there be any problems later? In hvala za slovenski jezik
My android goes to downloading mode and after the firmware installation it boots but it just shows the “Samsung” logo and keeps repeating the same. Does this mean that I have bricked my Android??
Thanks
