Samsung Galaxy Xcover S5690 ROM

Hey Guys,
I've been searching far and wide on the net, and i have serious problems with my S5690. The syndroms are that it reboots unprovoked, and it seriously P***** me off.
So i'm searching a clean Custom Rom based on Gingerbread, isn't there any out there, or someone has something I can do to gid rit of the problem??
The phone is rooted and that worked like a Charm, and i have uninstalled the Stock apps from Samsung, but the device still reboots at times??
Some days even 3-4 times!? :S
My Carrier is the danish Cellular carrier 3, and I have spoken with them, but the problem isn't from their side but Samsung that has messed something up with the stock ROM. I've been reading myself towards some sweedish sites that are experiencing same syndroms.
I really hope someone can help. :-(

Hi,
My S5960 reboots too.
Super user doesn't work for my device to root it, what app did you used to root it?
Is there any progress?

Hey, I used a rooting tool from another thread here on xda and then I used the app superuser too administrate the apps which needs permissions.
Then too freeze and uninstall apps I used an app from market called app freezer.. Worked like a charm.. Working on a custom firmware too but I only just started..
;-) I'll post the link to the rooting tool later.. Or you can search for it here on xda..

rom
So you did manage to root and run a custom rom? I would like to have something like cyanogen mod. My previous phone (htc hero) could be rooted only using super user.
Can you tell me how to start? and how is your Samsung gt-s5960 working at this moment?

I've rooted yes.
No I haven't been able to find a custom rom. ;-)
But I have rooted the phone and it works perfectly, and without reboots since I uninstaled the stock apps.
Take the link I posted and then find the rooting file, and and place it on the root of the phone memory then reboot to recovery mode and apply manual update from sd.. Then after it installs reboot and then you have root permission.. ;-)

I have a different problem with my S5690. When trying to install another camera app, it's stuck in negative mode and no normal model available!
I've tried ProCapture, which work with normal colors on first launch, then stuck on negative. (removing data / cache from app makes another first launch in colors?
Also tried Camera Ics+ which is just stuck on negative?
Anyone experienced this or know a workaround for this?

samsung s duo sch-i919

Hello,
I bought in china the samsung s duo sch-i919. After a big war with my phone, I finally rooted it. Now I would like to change a rom. So I should use clockworkmod, I install from the market, but when I try to flash my phone with the application, I cannot find my name device in the list. I try all of them, but I still have the default android system recorvery.
Could you help please?
Thanks.

That just means CWM doesn't officially support your phone. All those flashes were not healthy at all, factory reset before doing anything more.
Now search "(phone model) custom recovery" on Google. I'm sure you'll find your answer there.

Dual sim card phones are only supported by stock Roms.

search on google doesnt give any result
I tried so many times and different way to figure out how to resolve the problem I have with my phone. And google could not help me for this case.
So i am thinking about to take the clokworkmod source and develop it to make it compatible with my phone. Do you think this is possible?

cwm done
Ok, after long time, I finally find "quens cwm" for i919 on chinese web.
Now I am looking for a rom compatible with my phone.
step by step I will do it!!

The links are based on the assumption that one has custom recovery or Clockworkmod recovery. If you have it, you just need to put the zip file in your SDcard after renaming it update.zip. Then, boot to recovery and update from sdcard. I tried one of the ROMS, one that mimics Samsung sIII, and it is okay. But there are no virtual keys. The volume keys and power keys are converted and applications are used for volume and reboot. The ROM is multilingual and has google market. The FM radio is not working, at least, for me. And there is no FM transmitter application. I had to change back to official ROM. All the same, it is a good ROM.
Is there any way to change /Data to the internal sdcard? The internal sdcard is useless for me because I use external one.

wait ... let me figure out how to flash because i also cant understand chinese i just bought this phone
from china and my fren help me to flash to ROW rom ....

Read this manual, also applies to S880
And BTW: a newer S880_ROW_S108_120906_USER.rar is out
Warning though: If you flash a factory ROW, you loose any ROOT that your vendor may have put on for you. I propose when you flash, you *skip* the recovery, so it keeps the recovery your vendor has put on for you.

there's an ics 4.0.4 update for lenovo s880

Download this http://forum.frandroid.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=17527, and copy the needed files to system/etc
Although GPS is really **** at this phone
You will not find right rom. I had found one in chinese forum, but screen didn't work right. I sent it back to shop for refund

I found a semi-custom rom in the italian forum but gps isn't working any better.

root and CWM for Star Kingelon S7589 MTK6589

Next week arrived my new smartphone my home, I hope so....
It is a original "Star Kingelon S7589 MTK6589 Quad Core 5.8'' HD Screen Android 4.1 1GB RAM 4G ROM 3G WCDMA 12MP Camera SmartPhone"
Because my China language is empty,,, need a support in a other language. Any Ideas.....?

just choose a other language?

AW: root and CWM for Star Kingelon S7589 MTK6589
Thanks, the change of language within the settings should be not a problem, but how can access to root without knownlages of china language?
Please note the title of this thread.

there a lot of tools like bin4ry; one click root; droid tools...
just have to wait some days. MTK6589 will be ported soon!

AW: root and CWM for Star Kingelon S7589 MTK6589

We also have original chinese speaking guys in this forum?

don't know if here are chinese guys too, but why?
All tools are in english language?
You can try with MTK Dorid Tools v240! It supports the MTK6589 but if root will be possible yet? Just try I can't test, because i don't have such device!

2. Need the CWM Recovery not at first the root access?
Please help and inform my.

OraXdaDevelopers - Register yourself here: Star S7589 roms/recovery, you'll find there all tools needed for flashing first recovery, than for example rom with already included root. (And with some performance tweaks).
It's not hard to do, you may use tutorial for other MTK phones (6577 or 6575), they use same tool for flashing.
