Samsung GT-S5230 want to flash new firmware, please help... - General Questions and Answers

Hello all,
I have here a Samsung GT-S5230, this device is of my girlfriend her sister.
And they want to use it again for some reasons.
The problem:
She doesent know the master pincode anymore, so she cant use the phone. Because it is blocked.
Solutions i tried, two solutions i tried.
First to use the *2767*35887# or something but with this you must be in the phone already.
So tried to flash it,
downloaded the Hello Kitty German firmware and multiloader v5.60
Now i have tried this method but the software cant find the smartpone and if it can and you press download.
There says: serial port open error message and nothing happend.
Who can help me out here??

First, this is a wrong section. You said that you have a PPC, but you posted it in smartphone section.
Second, what exactly does you phone say? Is it just that it was unsuccessful? Is it supposed to work on your device?

[Q] KS20 NV2 Probs...

Hey i need help.. Long ago when i wanted to flash a wm6.5.3 ROM on my phone i accidentally selected a flash.bin for another phone. I already managed to fix it up with wm6.5.3 but no matter what i do i cant get my nv2 back. The phone can connect in normal mode but when i press flash, it says Phone blocked. When i flash in emergency mode, it goes but of course cant restore the nv2. I even tried flashing when it is running android. Only when i tried with android the nv2 IMEI number showed but still, says Phone block when i hit the flash button. Can anyone help? PS: J-tag doesnt solve it either..

[Q] Flash failed! What to do?

Hey guys,
Im new to xda-developers, and also a noob with my galaxy s plus, just got it one week ago .
And how it had come, i tried to flash my i9001 with Gingerbread 2.3.4 (XXKP4) from samfirmware.com.
OK, first i put my phone into download mode, connected it to my pc, and started flashing with odin multi downloader 4.33. i was wondering how long it took to transfer the data, but after 10 minutes there happened something, and it went on until system.ext4. Exactly at this point, after 1 hour (!) flashing, nothing happened anymore, i waited for one more hour, and finally disconnected my phone.
after trying to restart, the SAMSUNG logo appeared, and then then i saw the following logo:
At the left side is a mobile, at the right side a pc. there is an arrow, from mobile to pc, that is disturbed by a warning sign.
I can still enter download mode, but every try i did failed. always stops at the
system.ext4
file!
Pleeease, i need your help guys! i dont belive it is bricked, but dont know what to do now, already tried to flash original firmware, doenst work!!
greetings
nothing to worry about
since you still can enter the download mode u can flash ur device
try another computer or another os or try other usb ports

that happens to me too, about few weeks ago.
what I did, I downloaded and re-flashed this one:
http://bit.ly/i9001firmware
If I can remember it right, that was 2.3.3 ~ after successfully re-flashing with the above firmware for around 10 minutes. I redo it again in 2.3.4 (I took my 2.3.4 from samfirmware too!)
by the way, if you are re-flashing using a desktop pc... I suggest for you to use the USB port that was built from the motherboard. It was more reliable than using a hub.
Hey guys, I have the same problem.. Can somebody pleaaaaaaaase tell me a good solution?
Vickoy, there is a password on the firmware.... Somebody PLEASE help me!

try version 3 first the universal one. then you can play with the others by updating through stock recovery. i bet you have a dual core one. press vol down , ok and power button at the same time on boot and go to version. if it says MAUI on the list then we have the same clone

Try to read the chinacarts website because you download the one for quadcore micro_sim_s3_quadcore_dualcore_firmware_20130107 the link i provided you is the the one that worked for me.
Version 3:
For micro sim version
(When you make upgrade the phone success,the boot screen will start on"welcome"logo,dial"*#2013#"or"*#0825#" then press"OK" reboot the phone,the boot logo will changed to Samsung Logo)
Firmware( Released on 07,Jan,2013) this firmware universal for MT6575,MT6577,MT6589 CPU:https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4AdByfaH4T0TjVjc2w0OXVqQUE
Now mind your manners and be thankful and READ! we are not obliged to help out. Did you tried out this UNIVERSAL FIRMWARE! if you do then it never worked then there is nothing we can do to your expensive paperweight.

i also have issue with my s3 clone mtk6577... its no longer turning on after trying to odex it.. tried to flash the firmware and thats when the phone no longer turning on.. please help me.. im trying to flash it again using the flash tool but stuck in 0% what do i need to do?
I have the same problem. S3 micro sim clone MTK6589, new firmware tried (chinaecarts.com/s3firmware20130320.rar ), then the phone not booting.
I just contacted with Chinaecarts.com, they tried to solve the problem but not working.
Also tried with the universal firmware, but it sad I've MTK6577 phone, not MTK6575.
If I will have fresh news, will post it.
(seller said, I should send the phone back, and they will fix it.)
I tried with this:
H.tps://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4AdByfaH4T0TjVjc2w0OXVqQUE
It is theoretically for the MTK6577 and MTK6589 as well. Got the previous result: "Platform error. The target platform is MT6577_S00."
I think there is a solution for the blank screen problem:
- need a Flash Tool. (on the link above you can find it, or on the link in my previous post)
- need a firmware for MTK6577 micro sim card.
I tried with many sdcard firmware versions, but no effective result.
Hi,
1, You need to know what is exact model of your s3 mtk6577. There are many s3 mtk6577 models in the market. Different s3 mtk6577 is made by different manufacturer, so the ROM is definitely different.
2. After you get the right ROM, then flash your phone by using flash tool SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject
Bricked MTK6577
The image of the S3-micro-sim-version-20121210 this with corronpidos files, and the method that you should have done to retrieve your appliance was using the recover instead of SP tools because the files are not in rar. SP standard my phone so can enter META mode and nothing more.

It looks I have the exact model of yours. I am trying to update the firmware by entering the recovery (I suppose it is {vol up + power}). But my external sdcard is not mounted to pick the rom from.
I hope this may help you? I had the same problems as you with the same phone after rooting it I deleted the original rom as it went into a loop and would not start so I started installing every firmware I can find and install, I got one which works BUT! no English , it boots English then goes into several languages but not English it is HDCI9300 rom. I googled it as no one seems able or do not want to help although I have asked several times in many different ways. I hope this will get your phone at least to boot up, I used sp flash as this rom will not let you do anything with the sd card (if it does you need to translate one of the languages)? I hope this helps, if not you have lost nothing:fingers-crossed:
Hello. I have a similar problem with yours. A friend of mine has a 100% visual clone (MTK6577) with the same sticker under the battery like in the first post, he tried to flash it, but he messed up something, and then he brought it to me completely DEAD . No charging, no PC connection - nothing... I tried many button combos, and accidentally i found out that if i connect the phone without battery, press and hold VOL+, VOL- & POWER for a few seconds, the PC detected the mediatek com port , installed the drivers without problem, and now the real problems begins - the ROM. I tried all of the roms from chinaecarts but without success, first i couldn't flash the thing, and after downloading several roms from chinaecarts, and finally flashed it and guess what - no LCD :silly: . So i tried combining different files from different roms, and now i'm at a point where i can turn on the phone, screen goes white, but the phone boots, it makes the vibration after the boot process completes, and after that the phone is responding to touches (it vibrates), lock/unlock works, PC detects USB Mass Storage Device, USB Composite Device and MTK65xx Android Phone. I also noticed that in the FW packages i downloaded there are some files that aren't flashed (i think) like for example the kernel.img so i was wondering if i can flash it manually? Please someone help, share some FW links, i can't find anymore...

Help with my GT-I9100G,

Hello guys
I need some help with my SII GT-I9100G. It got stucked in the "Firmaware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." message.
It was rooted and then I installed the official Jelly Bean software, It worked well for about two weeks and last friday the OS started to up date automatically and got bricked. It doesn´t go into download mode or recovery mode. Just the firmware message. The cell phone connects to Odin in that mode, and I tried to install other ROMS, but Odin always fails.
I´m using Odin 3.04, it´s the only one connecting to the phone.
What should I do?
Thanks for the help.
i think u need to go to the service station... its best way... as per i think
I got the phone online, unlocked. So probably no service station will help me cause I did not buy it from them, also the phone it´s rooted, and they want you to stay on the official one. That´s why i´m trying to solve the problem myself. Thanks anyway.
sorry bro... but u try most thing to recover it so i said that...
