[Q] Samsung Galaxy 551 (i5510)

---

I can say i am a little disappointed about the phone, because a lot of app are crashing, i can't see google docs on it and so one.
are there any custom Roms for this phone? or 2.2.1 ?

rooting is soo easy.. i rooted with One click Root...also i did Un-root because i had to send it to guaranty because of the screen
another disappointing problem is the battery...its lasting around 1-1.5 days, and thats not cool

it is a good phone but i believe it has lots of bugs in the OS.

i was able to root my galaxy 551, however rooting thru one click root doesn't install any recovery. how do you install a recovery so i can flash the zip files.
i also have the htc wildfire and have rooted it and flashed different custom roms, however rooting and flashing the galaxy 551 is an altogether different procedure. could someone make a guide for this? thanks

far as i read on internet there is a app called ODIN...and you can use it. i coudnt try it because i sent my phone to service because of the display.

also...can you enter google docs from your 551? my browser is crashing every time...

i haven't tried the phone's browser yet, its been with me for only a day. i installed rom manager and clockwork mod recovery. however, i can't seem to start recovery (when the phone is off). in htc, you press volume down and power. In samsung galaxy 551 what buttons need to be pressed aside from power button to go to recovery mode? i tried the home button, back button, and volume buttons but nothing seems to work.

try volume down + home + power ...
i cant try since my phone is gone to service

try and tell me the result



also can you please try to enter docs.google.com and tell me if its working on ur phone....thanks


update: you can install the Android SDK, and after that you can use adb...when phone is connected to pc and and debugging is on:
adb reboot recovery

the combo of volume down + home+ power didn't work, the only way i can go to recovery is to go through rom manager

what do you mean "through rom manager"?
did you try adb ?

When In ROM MANAGER,
I click on Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery option, I don't see Samsung Galaxy 551 in phone model list.
Please suggest.

there is a selection on rom manager to reboot on recovery, i also tried to backup using rom manager, unfortunately it didn't work and my phone started in recovery mode. I also couldn't install the right clockwork mod recovery because galaxy 551 doesn't show in the device choices

Is there any way to backup current rom of Samsung galaxy 551?
So that, I can take up a risk of installing new rom.
Well still I dont know whether this Samsung galaxy 551 supports new rom installation or not...
If any one has done already done before then pls let us ppl kno .
Thanks in advance
