GT-I5500 update to 2.2 Froyo - Big problems, help!

I did update to 2.2 and it works very poorly Froyo even more does not work anymore and the phone reboots incontinu without it touching.
I did update to the latest version of Kies and after the Odin (I5500XWJP9), same result, Baseband shows as unknown.
Does anyone know how I can return to the original version before the latest update or any variant and only go phone?

if you really want to go back :D
2.1.1 romanian

but i think there is only your fault because it doesnt work ... hard reset, before(avoid bootloop) flash to 2.1 and after too("only from setting/privacy!!!" there remain some 2.2 apps,which dont work on 2.1 :D)

Okay, I'm kinda new around here and need some help with my little gadget.

I am addicted to music and tryed all kinds of players (atm i use PowerAMP) but i need a good equaliser. PowerAMP built it eq kinda sucks. I tryed to install DSPManager but it doesn't work. It just appears in my main menu but after i restart my phone, it just won't boot (i use Motafoca's 2.0.9.2 firmware). So, anyone installed DSPManager ? Is it working on i5500 ? Please I need help cuz i can't enjoy my music :mad:

Thanks alot and have a nice day :)

Swedish 2.2 FROYO.XWJPJ (NEE)
http://www.multiupload.com/AIDHSKUFNG
Romanian 2.2 FROYO.XFJPK (CNX)
http://www.multiupload.com/RQ82LA6BNB
Romanian 2.1.update1 (latest) (CNX) if someone have probs with upgrading to 2.2 in Romania via KIES :D (dont cover all Samsungs probs of making a good updater)
http://www.multiupload.com/FL5E79SVKA

I just said about the swedish NEE firmware... here it is :D

In Odin, one package :p, normally

Romanian Froyo have English+ East European languages, but dont have any languages from swedish or JP9 (ex. if youre german dont install it, dont have german lang :D)
Swedish Froyo have English+ West/Central langs

UPDATE
Samsung Electronics Romania:
Momentan se poate face update pentru versiunea 2,2 a sistemului de operare Android doar pentru dispozitivele GT-I5500, comercializate prin reteaua operatorului de telefonie mobila Vodafone. (Only Vodafone have 2.2 update for I5500)

I tried hard reset and rewrite what I have set you I5500OXXJI2, hard reset nothing happens in practice is not reset and the I5500OXXJI2 not go any WiFi, BT and reboots by itself. Mine is encoded on Vodafone RO when I made ​​update of Kies.

With I5500XWJP9:

- my phone has no IMEI, no Baseband (cannot connect to network)
- no camera
- can't connect to Kies
- phone restarts every 15 minutes
- after restarts show year 2007 (lose year, hour, date)
- shutdown phone does not work (screen gets blanked but still power on) > i have to remove the battery in order to start again

camera goodies

I was looking into the camera.apk file and there were a lot of goodies in the resources like scenes as fireworks, action, stopmotion, timer and cartoonmode. Also in the layout folder they seem to be present.

Why don't we see all those goodies back in the camera app? Anyone?

Cheers

Question 1: Is this more stable than Motofoca's 2.0.9.x?

Question 2: Since I'm from Asia will I experience problems when I flash this rom?

Question 3: Is this rom more like the stock Galaxy Mini or just based on the previous beta Froyo?

1. i dont know if is more stable(for me the honeycomb edition "2.9.1 i think" was completly unstable)... Is the oficial firmware from samsung... isnt modded... normally the firm from samsung needs to be stable... but compass isnt working still :D

2+3. normally not, if you didnt had any probs with JP9, this is JPJ/JPK (J is the 10th letter, K is the 11th "JP10/JP11" :p). If you didnt tryed JP9 dont try this too, because KIES will not recognise your version number (as yours) and you will not be able to update when will appear in your area(if will :D), you know(and dont matters) this if you used Mota's roms :cool:

But you can try, and if you dont like it flash back what you use right now... for exemple i use at the moment the galaxy mini (2.1.0) mota firmware... isnt so bugged like everyone said :D, is much louder that normal i5500 android :D

What I love most in FroYo for I5500 is the optimised battery usage. My mobile works longer than with latest stock 2.1.

Hey guys. Im new at this forum and I thought I might catch some help here.
So here it is.
I have Galaxy 5 that got locked up after using too many unlock patterns. My friend at school found guessing the code fun so he entered it like 20-30 times. -.-
Now Im pretty much fu**ed up. I have to login with my google email and password. But I dont know what is the password. Its supposed to be my regular password for everything but its not working. I found some posts googling the same problem and found some answers that didnt work. So guys is there any way to reset the whole firmware or anything like that?! Please help me :S

BTW I just updated to froyo today hoping it will solve my problem but its the same after updating. :(

    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on the GT-I5500 for about 10 days, played alot, flashed alot and i finaly got to learn how it works
    Well i have created a modified froyo version based on samsung's I5500LAR0JP2
    Basically i tweaked the initiation scripts and got the powersave gorvernor set to ondemand
    It was performance, so the cpu clock was always at max
    The battery now lasts about 3 times more according to testers and the device aparently is more stable. All the apps are the same
    Setcpu can be removed since the powersave mode is now default

    To install it, use the odin procedure as the same as the I5500LAR0JP2
    Remember to do a factory wipe after installing
    Below the file, DO NOT RENAME THE FILE TO .TAR OR ANYTHING ELSE, odin will do the checksum of the file so you know it has been downloaded correcty

    tinyurl.com/67wpzzm

    At the Lowyat forum there is all the testing and modifications
    forum.lowyat.net/topic/1687862

    You can also join the irc channel at freenode.net (webchat.freenode.net channel #gti5500)

    All kind of help is welcome

    Thanks,

    James/Motafoca
