I'm not sure if this is the right forum for posting this but yeah, if it's wrong feel free to delete :3
Was wandering on Samfirmware.com, found out that a new update for Samsung Gfit gingerbread (S5670XWKQ2) has just been released, i installed it and wow:
- Much Snappier
- Option to turn off mobile data in the "shutdown" menu (under the flight mode)
- Option for 2G Only OR 3G only Mode (in wireless networks options)
- Much MUCH better reception, the phone gives me good reception on 3G mode and it STICKS there, not randomly snapping between 2g, edge & 3G.
-OH and the recovery screen works on this one too (power + home + volume down)
-Slightly Better connected letters for the Arabic language, idk maybe it's just me o.o
-It seperates the phone numbers now (example 0777480209 becomes 077-7480-209 But that only worked on an Incoming/Outgoing Call).
-A "Traffic Widget" that asks you to enter a specific destination, idk what this does o,o.
-anything else tell me :3
you can get it here http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-s5670.htm (S5670XWKQ2 in the europe firmwares owo)
====Installation instructions====
0 - Connect your Phone in "Download" Mode (By turning off the phone, clicking the Power Button + Home button + Volume down button).
1 - Download the file from the above page.
2 - extract to a folder using the password Provided on the site (idk if i can provide it here o.o)
3 - you'll get two files, a .Dll and a .Tar, keep it like this, don't get nosy and rename/extract anything, keep them in the file.
4 - Run ODIN multi downloader, and load up a .OPS file for your phone.
5 - Select "One file package" from ODIN and in look waaay down, there's the one package selector, click it and browse to the .Tar file you got earlier, and click it.
6 - Once you made sure everything is in place, click start and it should take no longer than 3-5 minutes and you're done
7 - once done, the phone will restart and may take a while to start up, this is normal, go to settings, change the language and you're ready to go.
Boot into recovery mode, clear the cache partition, then Enjoy.
This is GingerBread 2.3.4 S5670XWKQ2

i got that too the first time, easily solved.
Flash the S5670XXKPI here http://hotfile.com/dl/120301527/b900a23/S5670XXKPI.rar.html First, Reboot into recovery and clear the cache partition, and then flash the new Firmware and clear the cache.
That should do it
no themes for samsung fit S5670XWKQ4 gingerbread?
Solved: stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode
So you are stuck on the dreaded " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen and there is nothing you can do to get your phone to start normally or even get to the download screen?
Fret not lads & ladies, I've already gone thru the pain and suffering and have come out new man, and I'll tell you how I did it. Also im starting all the way at linux/mac so everyones included.
First things first, you are going to have to get your computer ready with the right software for it to work.
You will need to make sure you get an original stock rom, make sure your source forwhere you download it is credible, this was my first mistake and why evidently I got myself into this mess.
I'm sure other roms might work that are modified for your device, but I suggest stock, and starting fresh just to make sure everything is up and running.
I am not responsible for your device, it may get bricked if done wrong.
Linux & Mac users first.
1. You will need to downloadable a program called Hiemdall, its a program similar to Odin3 (windows program).
2. You will need to extract the stock rom you downloaded earlier, I suggest to a folder in your desktop, wd will call it "folder1".
3. Now open up Hiemdall in root, (sudo Hiemdall-frontend for terminal) and then make sure device is on and stuck on the " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen, plug it in, then press the utilities tab and detect. ($ Heimdall detect)(terminal users). Make sure you do all this fast because the tablets are kinda funny when they stay connected.
4. Now clickthe Utilities tab then the "save as..." button and save the destination for the .pit file in the same location as the extracted stock rom folder (folder1).
5. Next click the Flash tab, and click browse and locate your .pit file, the one you just downloaded. Next click add under Partition (files), and then change the partion name (On the left hand under patition details) to recovery and browse to the extracted folder (folder1) and click and add the recovery.img and press start.
Now if all went well your tablet will have restarted itself and you have seen the logo (Samsung). but the chances are it wont load past that screen, but thats ok because now you can get your device into download mode and re-flash the whole rom. Do this the same way you did the recovery.img, but make sure you add each new one to the correct name in the partitions details section.
Now if this didnt work, then dont worry you can still join the windows crew and do it hat way. Simple download a program called virtualbox and get a windows xp iso, thats up to you to figure out as I deal with open source only O.S
So aftr you do that just load up the virtualbox with windows xp and follow below. I found it a bit easier as well.
Windows users....
I found this way to be pretty simple and straight forward,
1. Download Odin 1.3 (1.85 wasn't working for me)
2. Download the clockworkrecoveryMod
3. Open up Odin and browse in the PDA section for the CWM you downloaded and add it, next plug in your device and the box should turn yellow on the top left.
4. Press start and let it finish and reboot your device and you should now be able to boot into CWM and re flash a rom, or if you were smart just restore from a previous backup and get all the apps and stuff back too.
I dont know why cwm worked but it did so no complaints, just make sure you go into cwm and backup your device and with titanium (google play app) before you start playing with the root.
I did this and it worked for me, so hopefully it did for you. Im sorry if it didnt but dont get down, j6st be patient and ask and someone will help.
The key is getting the recovery.img to flash on I believe and maybe the cwm has it built in the package, im sure someone can shed some light on it.

If you can reach to the CWM recovery mode: Download firmware in zip form, you can get it from the below link. if you have a zip file leave it.
After obtaining the firmware copy to your external sdcard using a card reader or any other method
In recovery mode select "Instal zip from sdcard" then select "choose zip from external sdcard" then select the copied firmware zip file from the list and wait for completion
After completion go back and select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" reboot . it will take some time for reboot atleat 15min. it worked for me. hope it will work for you. good luck

Hi! Do you still having the CWM and Odin 1.3?
Hi.. I was experiencing this problem. Then without even thinking deeply, I try google any solution regarding this matter without referring to this thread first. I found this guys solution as he said it is for all samsung model.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfgq6bYfKLg
After done flashing, my tab giving a samsung logo and went off until now. I was unable to enter the recovery and download mode. I try to connect the tab with PC but it kept reconnecting repetitively although universal samsung usb driver has been installed. Any idea how to solve this?
-> -> I own only the credit of the explanation <- <-
Warning, This will void your warranty, i am not responsible for any thing you do with your phone
Only for s7562Rooting Tutorials
method 1 :
Files are from Droidser
This method will root your phone and will give you CWM recovery which are going to go in later,
1.You will need samsung drivers, you can get these from Samsung kies (just intall it) or from here
2.Download the s7562 Rooting Kit (the link is hosted by droidser too)
3.Extract The kit, and open Odin, You can get a later version of odin from here. see Image 1
4.Click on PDA and choose The Recovery.tar, see image 2
5.Now Let's go to our device,
a. Go to developer option, now Hit ok and Check USB debugging if it is not
b.Put Cwm_SuperSU or Cwm_SuperUser, Only choose one
c.Turn your device off and boot it in downloading/download mod ( Turn it off, and Hold Vol_Down & Home & Power until you see light coming out from the device ( When you feel it booted ) and then you should see a warning, just ignore it and click Vol_Up ). should be something like image 3.
6.Now connect your android To your pc that has Odin, if done every thing correctly You should see The windows downloading drivers or Odin that printed : Com:****
7.Make sure to Have : Auto Reboot & F. Reset time & Pda Checkedd after you done Step 5 & 6. see image 4
8.Remove the back Cover of your phone ( you must do that )
9.Now Click on START in odin
10. You should see a Blue bar in the downloading / Download mod in your device
11. keep watching it, till it finishes
12.When it finishes, Your device has to reboot, Just When you see the samsung logo, Remove your battery
Now to the easy part
13.Remove the Usb from your device, and reinsert battery
14.Now you changed Your Stock_Recovery, With CWM_Recovery. Now you want to go to your new recovery, by pressing Vol_Down & Vol_Up & Home & Power release when you see samsung logo. You should see something like image 5 ( Version might be diffrent ).
Note : Your touch won't work here, Move with your Vol_Up / Vol_down and choose with Home button and go back with back button
15. Now i suggest you to make a backup if you have an external Sdcard, if not just skip
16. now choose " Install Zip from sdCard " and Go to Choose zip from Sdcard Or From internal sd Card ( Depends on where you put your Cwm_SUperuser)
17. now Go to where you have put your CWM_Superuser / Cwm_SuperSU. and click on The Home, and click yes and now wait a bit,
18. Now go back and choose Reboot System now
if you want to remove the triangle Download RootTriangleAway From XDA or PlayStore (The app is Free, but Please buy it, to support the developer )
Now you are rooted :victory::victory::victory:
This is another CWM Recovery, if the first one didn't work for you it was posted by vikassaini01 Thx for Androidnoob1961 and Mohitash for posting this
And Therer is KyleOpen Recovery ( It's a cwm recovery but does not support installing from Ext_SdCard )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Method 2 (This won't install Cwm But will root your phone )
Go to unlockroot.com and download Unlock Root pro ( The blue one )
Now install it ( it will install 2 apps one that needs a key and one doesn't )
Open it and connect your device ( Have usb debugging on ) without closing ( do not turn off your device )
Click on Root and Than it will ask you if you want to install PowerSaving app, make your selection
Than it will ask you to reboot system click Yes/Ok
Now you are rooted :victory::victory::victory:
if you want to get CWM follow steps 1 -> 12
This method will not Work for all but Give it a shot
i changed the method of the explanition a bit, THank me if i helped you

External SD card is a better idea isnt it? seeing as the phones storage space is not only limited, but also exposed to factory wipes and such. The only problem is that cheatmans kyle cwm has the internal and external sd cards switched the wrong way around so its the internal sd card inside his cwm, but in reality it's really actually the external sd card... if that makes sense
This is the cwm recovery i use (with the sd cards the right way round)

Hey mate thanks for this
But you must correct it...
1. Place the rom In your Phone's internal sd Card
2. Turn off Your device
3. Go to CWM........

Corrected it, Thanks
But i think that Ext_SdCard is safer as you will need to wipe
And thank you and @Androidnoob1961 for the support
Quote, requote etc
well,
the initial very good idea from OP here to clear up
the messy site (t=2087177) is beginning now to end
up in a same messy place again.
can't you guys just quote the appropriate lines you refer to?
it sucks to scroll through large quotes for the sake
of reading a couple of lines of remarks been made to.
a lot of problems on the original site which caused this site
was due to this crap and also missing CR/LF,
bumptious letters, vacuous images etc.
I'm sure that was one of the main reasons why a lot of
people run including me into trouble because vital questions
had not been dignified with a response and/or simple answers
just been overseen.
at the end of the day - nobody here wants to end up with a brick!?

14.Now you changed Your Stock_Recovery, With CWM_Recovery. Now you want to go to your new recovery, by pressing Vol_Down & Vol_Up & Home & Power release when you see samsung logo. You should see something like image 5 ( Version might be diffrent ).
Note : Your touch won't work here, Move with your Vol_Up / Vol_down and choose with Home button and go back with back button

Actually no, the power button is used for nothing in the cwm recovery ( at least for the one i posted ), but it is used to select in the stock recovery

Currently there is no way to record without an app,
But, there are a lot of call recording apps on the market
Yes you're correct, my mistake. The power button is used to go back only in the cwm which I posted earlier

Please... i really need to know. Is the function that i need and it will determine to buy or not the phone.
Can anybody confirm the working or not of this function?
Ok to start off i have a samsung galaxy s it will turn on to the basic animations and then goes black . I did the whole down and up volume key and it brought me to 4 options which where reboot , reinstall , delete data and delete cache . I decided to follow these steps .
4.In ODIN, load each file with its corresponding field..PIT,PDA,CSC etc. (In this case we just use the PDA and PIT).
5.Don’t check anything else, the other two boxes should be checked by default (Auto Reboot and Reset Time)
6.Hit “start.” Be patient!
Im up too step 4 and i dont know what the hell is a .tar file i cant find it on my computer and i dont know where to download im so close to finishing this and ive been sitting here for hours. Keep in mind i have no experience with these technical stuff im trying so hard I NEED HELP PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME IN THE EASIEST WAY POSSIBLE.

Warning: This thread is for Karbonn smart tab 8 version 2
Version 2 tablets can be identified by S/N: ST*********** ver 2 at the back panel of the device
Root on Karbonn ST-8 Ver 2:
DISCLAIMER: ROOTING YOUR TABLET WILL PROBABLY VOID YOUR WARRANTY FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO ACCEPT FAULT FOR ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ROOTING, THEN DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER. HERE BE DRAGONS.

Rooting
Download the utoo-root-signed.zip from here and copy it to a microSD card (do NOT extract it)
Charge up the battery in your Karbonn ST-8_version2, Power Off and remove the charger cable.
Insert the microSD card into your tablet
Get into Recovery mode( Power+volume down ) .
In the recovery you can move with the Volume down button, you can select with Power or Volume up
Select the apply update from EXT option
Select the utoo-root-signed.zip, this will install the package
Wait for the update to finish
Select reboot system now
This is a tried and tested method and has worked for everyone till now.
Attached zip credit goes to xda user @Lannig
Lag-free Tweak
Install SetCPU app
Download the file Setcpu.txt from here
Paste it into the root of your SD Card
Open SetCPU, first change the governor from "conservative" to "performance2"(This is the most important thing)
Click on options button(three dots) and then click Device Selection
Select Custom Frequencies
Now Set Min frequency to 48 MHz and Max frequency to anything according to your preference(Now you'll have the choice of setting the frequency upto 1.5 GHz)
Note:
When you wan't to conserve more battery lower the Max Frequency(while browsing or listening to music maybe) and when playing HD games up the Max Frequency(Most games will run perfectly with even 1200 MHz)
48MHz of Min frequency will give more battery in in standby mode.
Try not to Clock the CPU above 1.2 GHz for a long time as it could cause heat issues. The governor itself should speedup everything for you.
Low Internal Memory
The fact that our devices have only 1.51 GB of Internal Storage limits the capabilities of our devices. Especially with HD Games.
I recommend using GL2SD for games at the moment.
Get used to using the app, its pretty easy..

Ok guys,This the first and last time I am posting this....
To unbrick ur tab......
1. Post what u did
2. What is wrong with the tablet according to your understanding
If you want to be helped the above two points really matter........
3. See this link
4. All info about unbricking various types of bricks can be found on the thread....
5. Also i would suggest you go through the thread fully and understand every detail
6. Another alternative for you guys would be Karbonn service center, But I feel it is useless as they take minimum 30-45 days to repair things
7. The method i mentioned is the first one,sdcard one
At this moment we have an experimental unbrick package with us thanks to developer @fuser-invent
This package is to be used in the STEP 3 of SOFT BRICK UNBRICK SDCARD method
Step 3
This only works if the first method completed far enough to allow you into the Stock Recovery or if the Alternative Methods worked and you now need to install the correct firmware.
0. Restore your SD card back to normal capacity with the SD Formatter software. This can take a long time, be patient. Choose the following options:
- FORMAT TYPE -> FULL (Overwrite)
- FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT -> ON
1. Get THIS firmware package
2. Download the above zip extract the above zip to the root of an empty sdcard( less than 2gb ). It should look like this all four files should be in the root of the sdcard.
3. Just FYI, the zip folder among those four files is the stock rom ( it has boot.img,bootloder.img,system,recovery.img,aml_logo.img,logo.img )
Also this package is a recovery package for soft bricks....
4. Put the sdcard in your tablet
5. Hold down the Power and Vol - buttons to enter the Stock Recovery
6. Flash your firmware package and reboot the tablet.
7. If it worked, either plug your tablet into the computer and use USB mode or shut down your tablet and remove the SD card, then remove the "u-boot.bin" and "uImage_recovery" files from your SD card.
8. Boot back into recovery and make sure that the firmware package correctly installed the Stock Recovery on your device.
Your tablet is now back to it's original Factory Settings.
6. For furthur assistance see this link
7. If you are successful plz report back...........it will help others

As 2012katas said, it's very important to go to the thread he links in #6. Yes, it is a HUGE thread, but it is detailed for a reason. 99% of your questions will be answered in that thread.
For example, the thread clearly says to use the ELF2 rescue image and the USB image tool to prepare your card first, then delete the ELF2 files from it and replace them with the files for your tablet. It also says that if that doesn't work you can try the SD Formatter software with my suggested settings to try and prep your card. I have no idea if the package will work until someone tries it the correct way and reports back.
On another note. If it doesn't work the first time, try to delete the u-boot.bin file only and then try again. Also mentioned in the thread, some people need to press and hold the power and vol- buttons and then when the tablet starts lighting up, start pressing the power button repeatedly, but that is rare.
As for the people with deep bricked tablets (showing the M3/M6 chip), you don't have anything to loose at this point so you best bet is to download the ST10_20121129.zip package, remove the patch.zip and update.zip, put the ST8 v2 firmware package zip I made in that folder, edit the config_progress.xml so the firmware package name is correct and no longer called update.zip, delete the part for the patch.zip, renumber the remaining steps, zip the whole thing back up and load it into the AML USB Burning software.
That might work or it might not work. You have to intelligently experiment because there is no official release for the tablet. Also you will notice that in the unbricking thread I say that if you can get the tablet showing some signs of life after the M3/M6 chip deep brick, you can then move to the SD card method. So if the usb_spl.bin and u-boot-orig.bin for the ST10 work with the ST8 to at least get the tablet out of M3/M6 mode then you could use the SD card method.
Lastly, to 2012katas, I'm rarely on XDA so if you have more questions, I see them more often on DragonDevs. You seem into this Dev stuff and smart, so feel free to get in touch to troubleshoot more.
