This is the process I went through to upgrade my phone from II5 to the Galaxo ROM. This is for my information only. If you follow this and turn your phone into a paperweight, I don’t care.<\/p>\n
Thanks to kam187 on androidforums.com<\/a> for the bulk of the knowledge and the guys at hdblog.it for the ROM.<\/p>\n Before doing any of this, you need to upgrade your phone’s firmware to II5<\/a> first.<\/p>\n You need to have the sdk tools on your computer:<\/p>\n – Extract the android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3.rar files to a folder on your computer.<\/p>\n – Copy recovery.img<\/i> from the 0.42 Recovery Image<\/a> over the existing recovery.img<\/i> in the tools – Copy<\/i> folder.<\/p>\n You probably need to install the adb usb driver at this point, if you haven’t done this before, otherwise the phone won’t respond to command line actions:<\/p>\n – Turn on USB Debugging on the phone: Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging and wait for a prompt to install a driver.<\/p>\n – Install the correct adb driver from the usb_driver<\/i> folder.<\/p>\n – For more information on the adb usb driver, see this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n From kam187, the key things are:<\/p>\n – Never boot II5 after a wipe and BEFORE applying update.zip<\/p>\n – Never boot after update.zip without G.Apps restored<\/p>\n Copy the 0.42 Recovery Image<\/a> and Galaxo ROM<\/a> and the II5.tar to the phone:<\/p>\n – Connect the phone to the PC (use the factory cable, Rastaman-FB had issues with a non-Samsung cable) and mount the internal storage using the USB Connected<\/i> button that appears in the Notification Bar, then Mount<\/i>.<\/p>\n – Copy rectools.tar.gz (from the 0.42 Recovery Image<\/a>) to the root of the internal storage.<\/p>\n – Copy the update.zip (from the Galaxo ROM<\/a>) to the root of the internal storage.<\/p>\n – Find the II5 firmware I7500XXII5-PDA-CL64494-REV5(VIA).tar<\/b> and rename it to II5.tar<\/b> and copy this to the root of the internal storage (this is how the Google Apps are restored later). Your internal phone storage should look a bit like this..<\/p>\n – Switch off the phone.<\/p>\n – Boot into fastboot<\/i> mode by holding the Call button (bottom left) whilst powering on the phone with the Power button (bottom right). The phone should appear to be waiting..<\/p>\n – In Windows, go Start > Run and type cmd<\/i> then press OK to open the DOS command prompt.<\/p>\n – Navigate into the Android SDK tools<\/i> folder where adb.exe<\/i> and fastboot.exe<\/i> are located (On my machine it is: C:Androidandroid-sdk-windows-1.5_r3tools – Copy<\/i> since I was using kam187’s repacked 1.5 SDK). Basically you need to type something like cdandroidandroid-sdk-windows-1.5_r3tools<\/i> to get to the directory beneath where you have extracted android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3.rar or android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1.zip.<\/p>\n – Now, in this folder type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img<\/b><\/p>\n – Once this is complete, pull out the phone’s battery and reinsert it to leave fastboot<\/i> mode.<\/p>\n Now we boot into the 0.42 Recovery image:<\/p>\n – Reboot the phone in Recovery Mode by holding the Volume Down and Call buttons whilst pressing Power to power up the phone.<\/p>\n – You should see a green 0.42 Recovery Console screen like this<\/p>\n – Choose Nandroid backup<\/i> to make a complete backup of your system.<\/p>\n – Choose Wipe data\/factory reset<\/i> to clear your phone and reboot into Recovery automatically.<\/p>\n – Choose Apply sdcard:update.zip<\/i> to apply the Galaxo ROM and reboot into Recovery automatically.<\/p>\n – Choose Restore G.Apps<\/i> to restore the Google Apps that were automatically backed up (you must have copied the II5.tar file to your phone).<\/p>\n – Reboot into a lovely new ROM!<\/p>\n If your phone hangs (like mine did) at the loading screen – did you remember to restore the Google Apps?<\/p>\n Galaxo ROM: http:\/\/forum.hdblog.it\/showthread.php?t=4842<\/a><\/p>\n 0.42 Recovery Image: http:\/\/forum.hdblog.it\/showthread.php?t=3995<\/a><\/p>\n ROM Video: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0a-swBMfys8<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the process I went through to upgrade my phone from II5 to the Galaxo ROM.
