[Q] Softbrick Samsung Gio - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Hello there,
I have a problem with my samsung gio device. I decided to update the unofficial cyanogenmod, but the install interrupts and aborted.
Now I can boot until the Samsung logo came. An other Forum gave me the hint, that the devica has a softbrick.
They gave me also the hint to the following manual.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573628
I tried to do this manual, but I dont undersstand what to do in Point 3.
Could anyone help me and try out a step by step manual for me, that I can unbrick my Samsung mobile?
Thanks a lot! :fingers-crossed:

just flash a cwm 5.0.2.8 or a newer one because you use cyanomod rom use ext4 only
download one,put your phone in download mode power menu and volume down togetter.
connect phone with computer

insert the cwm clicking one package and put the package in odin(see odin how to)

[Q] Which Clockworkmod to Install?

On the sticky thread there is a link for cwm thread, however I'm not quite sure which filesystem to choose, I'm going to install through recovery, seems safer for me. I want to install cwm for 2 purposes, first I'm planning to backup my stock rom so that I can always flash it back if I need my warranty and second I'm planning to flash cm9 to my phone. I'm not quite sure what is the diffrence between rfs and ext4 is Currently I'm on 2.2.1 stock rom.
Actually I found the proper version of CWM to install here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414173
But I can't apply it, when I enter recovery mode the options I have are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe chace parition
Pheraps I should rename the zip file I downloaded to update.zip? I can't select any other zip from the sd card and if I press "apply sdcard:update.zip" it searches for update.zip and fails to find it.
Try to install final cwm 5.0.7

I flashed it but I can't seem to be able to enter to recovery now, power+home buttons just keep me on the samsung logo (not the flashing one, the first one) my phone works but just can't enter to recovery. When I flashed it, it seemed to work, but I don't know why I can't enter

First you have to root and format to ext4, before installing CWM.
Download mode, remove battery, insert battery, press power, home, volume down, at the same time.

Hi,
Thanks for the great instructions! I followed them precisely but as I boot to the recovery mode (power+T) I get the following errors nor any commands work in CWM. I even tried to flash the CWM with ODIN again.

Please note that I had a stock Samsung Galaxy GT-I5510 with Android 2.3.6. So I have not rooted my phone in any way. Should I? How can I do it? Thank you for your support!
P.S. As I will get the CWM Recovery to work I will flash CyanogenMod 10.2.

You want to put SD card with CyanogenMod 10.2 and gapps to your phone, then choose option install wipe data/factory reset, install zip from SD card and choose .zip file containing CyanogenMod 10.2, and then install gapps and restart the phone.
Phone doesn't reboot
Hi,
I hope anybody reads this.
I downloaded the .tar.md5 files and proceeded with the instructions.
Though Odin tells me that it's flashing the telephone this is the last message of the log "<1> Close serial port and wait until rebooting."
And nothing happens afterwards. I can only see that the phone switches on again, but the screen stays dark.
Can you help me with anything? I already spent hours because i just tried to get a custom recovery on the phone because I couldn't install CyanogenMod from the SD card.

So first I flashed the stock firmware back again to be safe that at least it's still working. That was successful.
Ok I forgot to install the GB bootloader, I didn't mention this. But from the links of the first page none is working anymore.
Can you provide me one?
Also now I can't get into the stock recovery anymore with "T + Power".

What do you mean by permanent ?
In case you will find a another recovery which is compatible with your device, you can change if you want.
I don't understand this question ?
Normally we says that for the root! not for a recovery.
If it's for the root, yes, it's a perm root

Thanks for your answer.
After installing CWM, stock recovery sends you to CWM, so I decided to do a backup, then rebooted, but I couldn't get back to CWM again. Is there a different button combination to get to CWM? Or is it there was any problem at installing CWM with the boot stuff in the stock boot.img?

I am sure this means stock recovery rewrites recovery everytime I reboot to recovery. CWM installs, but it seems the phone overwrites stock.
It's the only explanation.
have the same problem, can't do anything.
it seems like there's no way to have a definete version of CWR on s6802....
CWM recovery is not there after reboot.
While installation, CWM is getting installed and open successfully. But after a reboot again switches to default recovery.
do these processes deal with unlocking bootloader?
I m a newbie here, sorry if this is a silly question.
Works amazing, thanks a lot for this guide, mate!
I've rooted and installed CWM today on my friend's S6802 with XXMC1 baseband ver. upon this guide. All went perfectly well.
Even after installing CWM, reboot to recovery mode brought me into stock recovery, but no problem about that- I've choosen again "update zip" function to reinstall CWM and it goes perfectly well.

[Q] Failed to flash ROM, SGW doesn't boot

Hi everybody,
sorry for bothering you, but I think I might need some help.
I tried to flash ParanoidAndroid (first try ever to flash a smartphone) but failed 'somehow'.
Initial steps to create the problem
Initial Status: Gingerbread on a Galaxy W; Pretty old and pretty messed up
Download the update.zip to root the smartphone => Becoming root worked!
Download ParanoidAndroid
Download Clockwork Recovery
Created backups using Titanium Backup as root.
Copied ParanoidAndroid to the GalaxyWs internal sd card (yes, this was my mistake)
Wipe cach partition => It said, it worked, I don't know if it did
Rebooted phone => all fine
Rebooted into recovery mode applied update from SD-Card=> Selected ParanoidAndroid.zip => ErrorMessage (I think it was something like file corrupt, sorry I'm not sure about the specific words, but it sounded like this is no updatefile or this file is not a valid zip file.
Status of the problem
Bootup shows Samsung Logo
Bootup than shows GalaxyW-Screen Logo
Bootup than shows the android recovery symbol OR directly reboots
When trying to open the recovery menu, every second time I get the message "Updating (...) Installing MultiCSC... Can't access /system/csc/DBT/system"
If opening recovery menu works, I can only acces the internal storage of the galaxy to install an update (tried the paranoidandroid several times, it doesn't work)
When plugging in the galaxy w to my USB port, I don't get an USB storage shown on my 2 laptops (1 "Windows 7", 1 "Ubuntu 14.0?" )
neither odin (4.43) nor Heimdall are able to flash any files.
So, simple question, what can I do next?
-I cannot copy clockworkmod to my smartphone
-I don't know if I can easily overwrite the kernel or the bootloader.
I searched the forum but didn't find a clear solution, so sorry if this special configuration was already asked.
Thanks for your help and best regards

Your ROM's download has been cut either by a connection issue or by you, That is why I always have a backup rom in my SD Card. Also For kitkat, make sure you got CWM 6.0.4.5 or higher. Personally i use PhilZ Touch Recovery. It is simple enough for me. And odin recognizes your phone only in download mode. So make sure you go to download mode then plug the phone in. And also make sure while working with odin, unplug all USBs and other phones
Hey MayB4ck,
thank you for the tips, I finally got it running Using Philz Touch Recovery. Works like hell
Best regards

[Q] Help With Installing CyanogenMod 11.0 - VILLUMINATI

The phone is/was rooted (by one click) and with gc01 and i believed it was stock rom. This my first time doing this so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
I was following at least I think I was trying to follow instructions listed on post 77 link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48979264&postcount=770
I skipped step 1 and went to step 2. I opened up the One-Click EL26 Stock CWM5.exe. I waited for it to recoginze and clicked start. It went into screen where it says "Samsung Galaxy 2" but with a yellow triangle with exclamation and won't remove from this screen? Also holding the power button doesn't work when trying to turn it off from this screen; so the battery have to remove.
I tried to boot into recovery and it does allow me to do so. It takes me to ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.7. Any help would be good? Thanks in advance.

Since you can still boot into Clockwork Recovery then download a stock rom and flash via recovery.

Or should I take it back to ICS FI22 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted? I know that a non jb modem is needed for CM11. Did I screwed up with the instructions gives for the CM11 or will it not work with my phone?
Also I was trying to send you a donation but it stated : We cannot process this transaction because there is a problem with the PayPal email address supplied by the seller. Please contact the seller to resolve the problem.
Thanks once again.

The phone is/was rooted (by one click) and with gc01 and i believed it was stock rom. This my first time doing this so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
I was following at least I think I was trying to follow instructions listed on post 77 link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48979264&postcount=770
I skipped step 1 and went to step 2. I opened up the One-Click EL26 Stock CWM5.exe. I waited for it to recoginze and clicked start. It went into screen where it says "Samsung Galaxy 2" but with a yellow triangle with exclamation and won't remove from this screen? Also holding the power button doesn't work when trying to turn it off from this screen; so the battery have to remove.
I tried to boot into recovery and it does allow me to do so. It takes me to ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.7. Any help would be good? Thanks in advance.
