Hi there guys!
Im having a problem with my samsung galaxy 5 (gt-i5500).Yesterday for some reason my phone just shut down and when i turned it back on, it was looping all the time.I was using MAD ROM 3.0.I can go to recovery menu trough odin, and all sow tried to reinstall it severall times with different roms, no luck, always rebooting.What seems to be the problem?I heard about some fastreboot thing but there is no guide or any other source that could help me.
Best regards
Dikkill

I wanted to install it, but in the baseband section my baseband was marked bad.So i didn't install it .Thanks for the help!
Like many others, I've followed the tutorial at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190 but have ended-up with a loop.
In my case I cannot find the Samsung ROM for the Canadian version ( I5500MUGJJ7 ) as can be seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13958293&postcount=1 I'm not the only one.
End result is I've bricked my phone I think (but hoping NOT).
I don't think by following that tutorial I made a backup so I don't think I can restore - or CAN I?
Can anyone help me out - THNKS

You need to install your default original samsung rom that you have the first time you got the phone.Install it and it should work fine.I did that.

Thank you for replying.
That's the point, I don't have the original ROM. I was following the tutorial and had NOT realised I wasn't making a backup and I don't think the original author even realized the it would happen that the Canadian ROM would be one of the very few which couldn't be found if things got screwed-up.

First try to get on the tutorial, from this sequence:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190
1.1 We need to install a boot-loader as the Samsung one is very limited and just plain awful! That said, it wasn’t intended to be used for anything other than the Samsung software so it’s not awful from their point of view but it’s pretty unfriendly to us.
To this
2.4 If you are new to use ClockworkMod recovery manager then before doing anything, please have a look at next screen to learn the navigation keys.
If this works, than we will talk what to do next.
Try different official rom, maybe it will work, you don't have anything to lose.

I don't think it's actually the ROM which is the problem but the "baseband". Twice I followed the tutorial and everything worked until it came time to restart the phone. At which time it went into the loop.
I have unlocked G5 and it is not Virgin Mobile - what now!
Thanks

Hmm try searching for a "fastboot" method, i really don't know what should be a problem, im not an expert in this :/.Ill try to help you tomorrow again .
Is there such a thing as a fastboot for the Galaxy 5 i5500
I'm getting a little mixed-up and feeling a bit MORE stupid - what's the difference between the ROM and the baseband. Can one copy ROM or baseband from a working phone onto another?
Thanks
Hello, I have bought this phone and extracted recovery.img but online cwm builder can't build working cwm. can someone help me? Also I would like to ask, if the firmware for Big Easy W1 is compatible with NM890 because they look same by visual and by HW side.

Hi akim14,
sorry for not being able to answer your questions, but where did you buy the phone? On most sites I searched for it, it is still pre-order only.

I actually bought one but received it and could not hear any sound when someone called in.
I sent the phone back to China and I am waiting for a new unit.
I have this phone but cannot find anything on how to root it, anyone know how ?
Or if there is a update as it is running 4.1.2 ?
Thanks in advance

I haven't received my replacement phone yet, so I couldn't try nothing.
Any upare in this matter will be welcome...
I have now flashed 4.2.1 which is working a lot better than 4.1.2. Even the GPS is now working properly.
Still need root though.

yes I would also be very interested, I just got my Newman nm890 android 4.1.2 and it has difficulty picking up a cell signal where my other cell phone gets a couple of bars. I am having difficulty with rooting it. I have been waiting for the 4.2 to be available but different from the sales ad, it does not seem to be readily coming. The previous reovery.img with the QR is it 4.1.2 or 4.2.1. It looks like the nm890 is popular.
4.2.1

I have just installed the ROM for my nm890 and now it Works great. All GPS/A-GPS problmes fixed and also Google contacts/calendar syncing 100% working.
Thank you very much!!!
Has anyone tested BAM on the TF201? If so what were your feelings on it vs CM11?
TF 201 is on BAMs supported Device List
I'm assuming you need to be on the 4.1 bootloader with a working recovery. You install it via the application
BAM Installer
if anyone is on 4.1 and willing to flash you should let me know how it goes. I am on Cromi-X on the 4.2 bootloader so I am hesitant to go through the whole flashing process if the ROM is buggy. Thanks in advanced.

I have been trying to get it install since yesterday. It says it installed successfully using the new TWRP Voyager recovery that is KitKat compatible. The ROM just sits at the Asus screen though for 3 or 4 minutes and won't boot the ROM. I don't know if there is something else I need to do or not. I know I haven't bricked my device as I was able to get back into recovery and install my backup. Anyone have any suggestions???

Maybe the new recovery isn't necessary? I am not too sure it seems like a lot of the community for developing is found on Google+ I haven't seen anything on XDA about BAM Android for our Primes, hence the reason I posted here in the Q&A

Actually I had to use the new recovery because of an error 7 message. I did research and I found out I needed a KitKat compatible recovery. Hopefully someone out there can help us.

I would love to try it with the new CWM that Namidairo made but I am very leery of trying it with it because of the fact being that I heard you could hard brick your device using CWM with certain ROM's.

Ah well that makes sense, we don't want to brick the tab over a possible ROM. How is CM11 though? I had 10.2 for a while but it stuttered too much for my taste. Have you noticed any degradation of overall performance with gaming and videos?

Nope really don't want any bricks. I'm still playing around with CM11 so I'll let you know for sure in a few days. So far I really like it. :good:
The wifi on my Samsung S3 GT-I9300 device won't work. It just toggles on/off/on/off when I attempt to turn it on. I purchased the phone with the following already installed on it:
CWM
SuperSU
Android Version 4.2.2
Kernel Version - (says here in the about screen) 3.0.31-611730
Build number - Omega v45 - XXUFME3
I've done a LOT of searching here on XDA but I just find myself lost in a world of information. I found a video on youtube, but it's for the S4 and doesn't offer links to the correct files for the S3. Some have told me flash a new ROM and other a new Kernel, but because of version numbers, and not wanting to brick this phone... i'm not sure where to start...
Please would someone be willing to help me out? I am living in Honduras and the service I use is prepay here.. wifi is a HUGE money savings for me here. Many thanks to whoever is willing...
If it is an i9300 then download a stock firmware from sammobile that will work in your country (3G signal). Follow the guide in general forum on how to flash. Factory reset in recovery before first boot.
Test wifi before you install or restore anything, if still the same then it's a hardware fault.

any ideas on what I might be able to do?

you can get the odin here https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek

Unexpected end of file means you have a corrupt download. Just download the firmware file again. If all else fails, look for a post in the S3 General thread regarding a complete back to stock method.

So i've successfully flashed the stock ROM file that was provided to me in the link above by "Tkkg1994"
The versions and software in my phone is all different than before, but the wifi still won't turn on. I click the button to turn on wifi... it thinks for about 3 seconds and then just switches back to the off position.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong? or what I might be able to try now?
Thank you so much for all the help up till now.. I hope i'm giving out the right amount of thanks and credit to you all. I really hope I can resolve this!

Wifi is related to kernel if you have changed roms ( which also changes kernel) then most likely it is hardware fault you could try flashing just a custom kernel and if the problem is still there then it is most likely hardware issue.

Yikes. Two words I was definitely hoping it was not.
Well.. I suppose it couldn't hurt to attempt a custom kernel, so the next question would be... any advice on which kernel I should attempt, and how exactly do I flash a kernel?

You need a custom recovery(Philz touch), flash it through odin. Than download googymax2 and copy it to your sd card. Than enter in recovery mode and flash the kernel.

Maybe a clean new install of your rom? In philz touch recovery select "clean to install a new rom". than install it. after that, wipe cache and dalvik cache

UP UP UP
Replaced the screen yesterday and don't think I've done any other HW damage but on powering back on the phone makes all the right noises but doesn't display anything.
Backlight is on too.
Is it possible it's a faulty screen?
Have you flashed a rom?
You have to flash new rom marked as "dx_2" or "dx_1" if I recall corectly. Search in elephone forum, rom section.
There are 2 SKUs for screens, they need proper rom.
No, I haven't flashed this phone since I bought it. Will I be able to reflash without being able to see the screen.

From official elephone forum, this rom supposed to be "dx_2" http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-10832-1-3.html.
If you already flashed newer rom, then you should flash this one with "Firmware Upgrade" option.
Good luck.
