Help Help me change FW

[cayman]

Hi!!!
Sorry for opening this thread, I know that there are tones of manuals on this forum, but I simply can't put it all together in my head...

So, after 2 weeks of usage of II5 GalaxHero rom, I got soooo pissed off that phone turns off all of sudden, and I decided to go back to some original fw.

My choice fell on IK5 so if anyone can write short manual how to install it. I am confused with all that wipe/factory reseting thingy. Also a valid link to that fw wouldn't be bad.

Next, is there a way to somehow backup some apps from GalaxHero or to find them as standalone installations?
I quite like:
PDF viewer
quick office
wireless tether
advanced launcher

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

tell us how do you think it should be done

 

[cayman]

Well...
First factory reset, just in case.
Second, boot to recovery mode and do wipe.
Next, using odin flash to IK5...
Again factory reset
Would it be enough?
Also, is there a way to remove sim lock?

Just get the firmware and flash with Odin. DO a factory reset after first boot. That's it. To get the firmware go to http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7500/32870-ik5-latest-official-firmware-out-npc-italy.html

There are working links there! If you cannot access them, use FUS downloader. http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7500/36913-latest-firmware.html thread has some details on using it and a link to the corresponding thread.

Ok, thanks. Any idea about the apps?

galaxo doesnt give random reboots
its something on your device, theres a post somewhere which locked down what can cause it if its not a custom app

Oh, I explained it badly...I don't have problems with restart, I am frustrated with battery life and indication... When I take a look it shows about 30%, ten minutes later the phone is turned off!!! And I didn't have those problems with stock firmware (IG8 i think).

you should have, the battery indicator was not modified till ik4 i believe

 

[Naruvam]

Yeah battery indicator was horrible till ik4, I've used II5 before and phone would turn off really fast after showing around 35% battery left. On IK4 phone turns off after showing 9% or less...

 

[cayman]

No really, I didn't have those problems. Can't remember exactly the drop rate of %, but when it shows empty red battery indicator, I had about half an hour left. It was a lot better that with II5
