[Q] Samsung GT-I5500L issues

---

Hi all 1st post here and it's already a question so I apologize, , I am pretty new this stuff and recently started messing with my firmware and having a play around. Now the issue I have is I cannot connect the phone to pc by usb at all. I have tried all the usual methods of switching data cables, hard reset, enabled/disabled debugging. The only thing that it does is charge the phone.

On a seperate note, I think my current version of android is corrupt as when i hold down the power button, the only option I get is power off, various other things are not quite right either and would prefer stock to this. The device is rooted using universal androot. If anyone could help me return to stock or change my firmware would be greatly appreciated. Please bare in mind that I am unable to use usb, so kies and odin are just not an option. Many thanks

the information i have is.

PDA: - I5500LUYJP2
PHONE - I5500LUYJP2
CSC: - I5500LAROJP2

The kernal version says

2.6.32.9-perf
tyoon hwang SEP-04 #2

Running 2.2 android

what rom did you put onto it?

Try this one : http://www.madteam.co/forum/developm...otafoca-2-0-9/

Many thanks for the reply, I was a little naive and just downloaded a random linked one Am I able to put the madteams on there just from sdcard?

If you mean install it from sdcard using clockworkmod?

Use this one : http://www.madteam.co/forum/developm...rkmod-edition/

To be honest, I have been playing with something I know too little about and now i'm trying to fix my mess I have installed rom manager, and applied what i believe to be clockwork mod recovery supplied by rom manager, then added the linked file to my sdcard. When it tries to apply it as an update it says aborted as zip file is bad.

If i could use usb or odin to flash my phone things would be so much simpler, but as it stands I can't seem to do anything with just using the sdcard. I don't know if there is a complete idiots guide to this. But thanks to those who have tried to help so far.

my phone too is not working via usb..i mean not detecting when to flash. Its working fine when in usb mode but when put to downloading mode,the pc dont recon the device..if yu find the solution plz rply .if i get it i will surely answer

I don't even get the dialog to connect by kies or mass storage. I plug my phone in and the only thing it does is charge. The computer doesn't even acknowledge there is a device connected, with that in mind i'm certain it is a problem with my phone. Possibly firmware related, or faulty usb phone port I would guess.

Which is why I really hope someone can come along and help with my previous problem of fixing things with sdcard only.

if you're wanting to use odin to flash, use that rom i said. download both files from the 'full edition' and extract them

to flash:

1. download kies
2. download odin
3. download your files for the rom
4. put them all into odin
5. turn phone into download mode and connect to pc
6. wait for it to show up on odin

IF, your phone doesnt show up, try uninstalling kies, re-installing it, restarting your computer and try again

I can't use odin, kies, or mass storage. My phone simply won't accept that it is attached by usb, I tried the original samsung data cable, as well as another I purchased new the mount dialog won't open when I attach a usb with the usual option of kies/mass storage so I know it isn't my pc. Everything I have done has been by removing the sdcard and using a card reader to put files on, then back to my phone.

I tried all the linked files so far, tried renaming them to update.zip on my sdcard, when I boot back to recovery and try to update from sdcard it says bad file, or failed. Also tried extracting the files and updating again no good. If there is no other options to force new firmware to install from sdcard I guess it is a new phone time which I wasn't keen on.
