WARNING!!!


Don't use ROM Manager!!!!
It'll brick your phone!!!!

Don't even think of installing ROM Manager on your phone. All it's gonna do is brick your phone....
So my advice is, abstain from using ROM Manager until they officially support our phone.

Till then, use the unofficial port of Clockwork Recovery Mod by tj_style.

the complete package is also attached with this post.

DO NOT FLASH IT ON FROYO!!!


If you need any further assistance, please continue the discussion here.

It seems like adityam533 has found a method to make ROM manager work on G-Fit.

yes thanks for the heads up. anyway, ROM manager does recognize and uploads a rom for Galaxy Mini which is not for Fit. The newest Rom Manager can detect the ported CWM recovery so it might be seeing our phone as Galaxy Mini. Installing from it could brick your phone in the process. Last night I did flashed the Touch enabled CWM recovery thru CWM Recovery Mode from the other post and it worked fine.

It is true. Britch S5670 was due to this program. The guarantee, they did change the motherboard.

Even the supported devices have been bricked because of it...ask about it in the mini and ace forum...
We already have a good enough way to flash cwm...

Currently impossible, the only way to fix it is getting it to Samsung to replace the Motherboard...
Did this with my phone, yay for warranty =)

But I still can't understand why rom manager can destroy the motherboard.
If this is the truth, any other rooted android program can do such things to destroy your phone.
I don't think the phone factory might do such a design.
It's too dangerous to use this phone!

Well ROM Manager doesn't, flashing the CWM Recovery with it bricks the phone, my theory is that some of the data gets lost, or maybe the ROM Manager just can't write to the RFS partition, or doesn't support it completely, at least the one on our phone, it formats the whole phone, but that's only my stupid theory =)

Yes, I also think that maybe the cwm recovery bricked my phone, maybe some of the data lost, maybe ....
But why odin can't overwrite all of the mistakes?
There must be somthing that odin can't overwrite but rom manager can write.
What's this?

it cant undo the mistakes because the "ARM11BOOT.img" is corrupted, basicly, you cant even turn on your phone, at all, so that means no download mode
