How To Update Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 with XWKT7 2.3.6 Firmware
As we all know that Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 device has a build in OS version of 2.2 Froyo and it can be upgradable to Gingerbread 2.3 version. Previously we have covered the installation guides for JVKT1, XWKS7 and few others. Now, we bought you the new firmware named as XWKT7 and it supports all the European versions of Galaxy Mini S5570 mobiles. It was released at Croatia with CSC S5570CRGKT1. So, before starting this firmware updation process, please make sure that you are deserved user.
After updating with this firmware, few users spotted a difference in the dialer button and impressively the phone mobile is running faster than the previous XWKS7 version. We use Odin flash tool for the flashing process and the importance of this odin tool will be known to you in the further pages. We request other users not to try this update on their mobiles as there is a high chance of device damage.
This update doesn’t required rooted mobile and so if your mobile is already rooted then after completing this update process, mobile will be unrooted. So, there will be no loss of warranty.

i’m from india and i am using jvkt1. can i install this firmware on my galaxy mini ?
no, it can be updated by all the users!
Hello can i update again my galaxymini im on JVKT1 and i want to update to XWKT7.. is it safe???? reply ASAP
Hi, Please how works the version numbering, what means XWKT7 or what does it refer to? On my galaxy mini I have Baseband version S5570XWKT2 which seems lower than XWKT7, below that there is something about the Kernel version which is I think related to Linux and inner Android stuff, and in the bottom there is “Build number” Gingerbread.JVKT1. I was told XWKT2 or baseband was related to the radio device needed to make phone calls. So the update on this page is for the radio device? To me, I would understand an OS update is linked with Gingerbread.JVKT1 to .JVKT7 for instance.
Please open my eyes on that.
I’ve just upgraded my phone mini S5570 with firmware XWKT7 2.3.6 Firmware. Everything isOK except the icon of the application ‘Notities’ has changed; instead of a notebloc it’s no an letter T. And more anoying I’ve got the application T-wisepilot. Its an app in a different language ( Servië / Kroatië??) of wich I don’t understand a thing and would get rid of it. Can you help me? It is not possible to erase it in the normal way, it is also not mentioned in the list of applications. It’s only on the screens. I won’t use it!
kind regards, Haen

Hello,
I am trying to install Gingerbread 2.3.6 XWKT7, but ODIN is stuck for way over 2 hours in step ‘ odin mode.. check plcatform verification.’
I already tried the following, but without result.
- Updating KIES/drivers on the PC (Windows XP SP3)
- Updating Windows
- Factory Reset of telephone via Recovery Mode, both Wipe Data and Wipe Cache
I am running Gingerbread 2.3.4 (dunno the precise rom atm) on my Samsung Galaxy Mini, the device is not rooted.
I now aborted the update by pulling the plug in the abovementioned step, causing the following lines to be mentioned in ODIN:
VerifyPlatform:V0, P0,R0
e – usb is disconnected!!
thread will be terminated.
Destroy instant..
Killed timer
After pulling the battery and booting the phone it ended up Russian (though I am Dutch). I have switched the language to Dutch already.
Please, can you tell me how I can update my phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6? Or should I just keep waiting hours till Odin somehow starts flashing the phone?
Greets,
Leon H

Use Home/Power buttons for Recovery Mode. Keep pressing until Recovery Mode shows up on screen.
i tried to downgrade my galaxy mini into its origilnal firmware froyo using this steps.. after i got the “PASS” message in odin.. it was stuck on “samsung logo” and cant get into recovery mode.
It worked perfectly for me. But please change the instructions for Recovery Mode to Home/Power buttons.
Vol Up/Home/Power buttons take you to Dump Mode.
Also, after the upgrade the language was in Polish or something like that, but fortunately, I had another Galaxy Mini to see the English Menu where I could go and change the language.
Thanks a lot for your Expert Instructions.
