I can say i am a little disappointed about the phone, because a lot of app are crashing, i can't see google docs on it and so one.
are there any custom Roms for this phone? or 2.2.1 ?
rooting is soo easy.. i rooted with One click Root...also i did Un-root because i had to send it to guaranty because of the screen
another disappointing problem is the battery...its lasting around 1-1.5 days, and thats not cool
it is a good phone but i believe it has lots of bugs in the OS.
i was able to root my galaxy 551, however rooting thru one click root doesn't install any recovery. how do you install a recovery so i can flash the zip files.
i also have the htc wildfire and have rooted it and flashed different custom roms, however rooting and flashing the galaxy 551 is an altogether different procedure. could someone make a guide for this? thanks
far as i read on internet there is a app called ODIN...and you can use it. i coudnt try it because i sent my phone to service because of the display.
also...can you enter google docs from your 551? my browser is crashing every time...
i haven't tried the phone's browser yet, its been with me for only a day. i installed rom manager and clockwork mod recovery. however, i can't seem to start recovery (when the phone is off). in htc, you press volume down and power. In samsung galaxy 551 what buttons need to be pressed aside from power button to go to recovery mode? i tried the home button, back button, and volume buttons but nothing seems to work.
try volume down + home + power ...
i cant try since my phone is gone to service
try and tell me the result
also can you please try to enter docs.google.com and tell me if its working on ur phone....thanks
update: you can install the Android SDK, and after that you can use adb...when phone is connected to pc and and debugging is on:
adb reboot recovery
the combo of volume down + home+ power didn't work, the only way i can go to recovery is to go through rom manager
what do you mean "through rom manager"?
did you try adb ?
How Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Samsung Galaxy 551.
When In ROM MANAGER,
I click on Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery option, I don't see Samsung Galaxy 551 in phone model list.
Please suggest.

there is a selection on rom manager to reboot on recovery, i also tried to backup using rom manager, unfortunately it didn't work and my phone started in recovery mode. I also couldn't install the right clockwork mod recovery because galaxy 551 doesn't show in the device choices
Is there any way to backup current rom of Samsung galaxy 551?
So that, I can take up a risk of installing new rom.
Well still I dont know whether this Samsung galaxy 551 supports new rom installation or not...
If any one has done already done before then pls let us ppl kno .
Thanks in advance

Try Volume down, the center button and power button
people...install busybox...
i can't create a tutorial yet, because my 551 is still in service (screen problems), and far as i find out we can enter recovery mode with busybox
update: busybox can be installed if you root your phone using SuperOneClick Root 1.6.5 or higher, and if you have your phone rooted, but no busybox, just install Titanium Backup, and it will install it automatically

Hello,
I managed to flash my galaxy 551 with one of firmware available at samfirmware dot com.
The keys are "q" for a qwerty keyboard or "a" for an azerty keyboard (the first letter of the physical keyboard) + power for boot in download mode.
But the physical keyboard is now in qwerty : I'm interested in azerty.kcm.bin file + *.kl from an FR rom.
Thank's in advance and sorry for my bad English : /

live wallpaper
guys anybody how to enable live wallpaper in 551 i used terminal emulator but it sys busy box permission denied any solution for this please help me
Hi, found lots of useful stuff reading the thread. Does anyone know how to boot into recovery mode? the vol.down+home+power didn't work for me... or I'm doing it wrong :S Has anyone booted into recovery succesfully?
UPDATE: for the record I have the GT-I5510L model (L is for Latin I think) rooted using SuperOneClick 1.7 (which I think installs busybox in the process).
I found out that the "Q" key + Power combination during power-up takes you to Download mode, and so far the only way I found to enter Recovery mode is through "terminal emulator" executing:
Code:
#su
#boot recovery
After that the phone reboots and enters Recovery mode.
To navigate in Recovery mode use the following physical keys:
Left and Right arrow to move Up and Down the menu options (weird, right?)
Shift key (the one on the left above the red "Alt" key) to select the highlighted option.

thank you.

Me too need help with this..
My Karbonn Smart Tab 3 is still not working..
If someone can guide me on how to flash the ROM.
1. I have downloaded the ROM from moulnisky dot com (Cant post links yet)
2. Found the Flasing tool and driver from gsmhosting dot com (just search for "Karbonn Smart Tab 3")
3. The Flashing tool is not in English and so if you just do next, next it should work.
The only problem that I am facing is my Tab is stuck at the boot-up animation screen, I am able to hold volume up + Power to go to recovery mode, but I don't know if this tab has any download mode because I have tried volume down + Power (nothing happens)
I have tried the flashing tool while the Tab is in recovery mode and also tried it when the tab is on the animation screen but nothing happens.
I don't have any where else to look for help.
Please help.
Thanks.

Solution
It is because livesuit needs tab to be in download mode
Unlike samsung, we go to download mode by pressing vol- +menu + power,
In tab,
1 switch tab 3 off
2 press volume down (or up....I dont exactly remember..try both)
3 keep pressing and put the usb in
4 press power repeatedly untill Tab gets detected via LiveSuit
Also I would ask u not to update to jelly bean as I just updated and Its too buggy... lags too much and also root goes off
In case u get image of Stock ICS 4.0.4, Please put the link here!
Im in a bad need of it
Hit thanks
I have a problem.. I have duos 2 S7582
When I press and hold the vol down/menu/power buttons I go into a Factory mode instead of download mode..

Hi,
I bought lenovo tab 2 A7-10f for my brothers birthday.
After one week of using it he brought it back to me with words: I broke it.
He rooted (Kingo software) the Android system and than he cleaned some system apps which caused the crash of the system.
Now when I start it the boot stops in lenovo welcome animation and I can't get to boot mode anymore (pushing volume and start button) the system freeze in welcome screen with lenovo and android logo - no martian.
When I tried to connect by ADB the device appeared to be "offline" and I can't reach it.
Can you help me, please?

You need lenovo flash tool and latest rom. T2-A7-10F_USR_S041_150112_ROW or another.
power off your tablet.
push volume down and connect with your computer.
tablet will start and show he is charching.
Start flash tool. load the scatter file. In above rom it is : MT8127_Android_scatter.txt
once loaded push download.
some files will go to your tablet. If flash tool quickly stops , power off your tablet, but leave the usb cable.
Once powerd off , flash tool will continue.
when het is finished , you will see this on your computer.
disconect and restart tablet.
2nd possibility : power off you tablet
hold 3 buttons. Poweron , + and -
when tablet vibrates , release powerbutton but do not release + and - button
now your tab will start in recovery. here the tab says : no command and you push the powerbutton to see the menu.
there you can choose : wipe data/factory reset
after reset choose to reboot.
if this factory reset does not restore you tab , you must flash the rom.
choosing with keys :
with - button you go down
with +button you select
with power button menu will show
Can someone help me with a link to the stock rom ?
Try SAMmobile.com (you will have to make a free account) when you have made your account click the firmware button at the top of the screen then type in your phone model number. For example SM-G361F the choose your country. Then in the filter box seach your network provider ie. O2 then click download. Once you have downloaded it unzip the file in a folder. Boot your phone into odin/download mode. Click BL or AP it dosent really matter then choose your file and wait for the blue bar on your phone to finish. Then it should restart
And should be stock rom. If your brick your device please note you have full responsibilty over your device. If you do mess up and brick your device just repeat the steps above.
Try resetting the phone from recovery.
Enter into recovery(use possible combinations of power+vol up or power+vol down or power+vol up+vol down) and factory reset the phone. This might help.

That's amusing. they have a lenovo tablet and you're telling them to look for their stock firmware on a site for samsung devices and to restore the device with a program that is made for samsung devices, lol.

HERE YOU GO
I am not sure how this works but this is the downloable file any tablet tab 2 A7 10F gets when it's going to upgrade from kitkat 4.4 to lollipop 5.0 so I guess this will work on any of your tablets. This versión is supposed to be for latinamerica but It holds many languagues if any of you need others than Spanish or English.
