I entered my sim toolkit, when to my vodafone, selected account balance but when i was running the 2.3.5 a message appeared up saying "A txt message will be sent to you" well that appears up on all phones haha. but now when i do it nothing appears up no txt comes and yeah i cant check anything
It would be great help if anyone will help me
Thank you
And ps. If there is a way to remove this cyanogen mod 7 can sombody please guide me through or give me a link to remove it please? it would be great
Thank you

Hi. Sure there is a way to remove cm7 from your phone. You first have to clear what you will do!
I mean stay on a custom Rom or go back to stock Rom.
For custom Rom look at the android development thread. There at the top you will find a thread with all custom roms here.
For stock rom you can go for ginger 2.3.4, 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. These are the official Samsung roms.
There are many sites on the net showing and describing how to do that. Try google and search for something like update gt s5570 to android 2.3.5. You also can use threads here at the xda forum.
Hope this helps something.

Marcon10 : thank you for you reply.
the video is clear to install Darky's Ressurection.
It remains one topic that i would like to understand.
I didnt see anything in this video that tell us how to backup my original ROM.
In case my phone would be out of work and I would need to restore the original ROM to be able to exchange the phone with another one with my mobile operator.
This is why i asked which CF-Root to use ; or may be i'm wrong and have to use a Rom Manager instead ?
Finally i really dont see from which side I have to start
the Final goal is to backup the original ROM before installing Darky's

Hi,
thanks for the link but i found nothing about BUJP8 or BUJP5 on the 32 pages of this thread :/
Is it the only way to proceed (downloading the "original" rom from somewhere else) ?
No chance to backup my actual Rom before migrated to Darky's ?
So I have to conclude that :
1) i cant backup my actual original rom
2) i cant find this original rom somewhere else
too bad :/
There are roms on here u can flash back to. There backed up on xda. Follow video tut on darkys resurrection. Make sure u can do 3 button combo

Well first advice is to read read read these forums, lots of information.
Your phone has a quite old version of android so updating that would be a good start. Froyo 2.2.1 is the latest official which should be available in Kies for you. Gingerbread 2.3.3 is expected to be officially released for the SGS within the next 2 weeks. You can also flash custom ROMs and newer ROMs then Kies offers you yourself, but without 3-button recovery thats tricky. Atleast make/buy and test a recovery JIG before going there.
Then maybe slap on a theme of your liking and get some good apps (dont be afraid to pay a few bucks for good apps either)
Being bored of phone usually means youre not doing anything interesting or fun with it a phone in itself is only so exciting

well, there's your problem
I don't know how much you already know but I advise you to read as much stickies and rom threads as you can. After that you will probably come to the conclusion that you want to install a custom ROM. Do so and your life will change forever
If you need any help, don't hesitate to consult the search function (or ask here^^)
Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
This is the place to start.
After you have read everything there, this would be some steps to follow:
1.Install ADB on your computer
2.Download Odin 1.7
3.Repair your 3-button recovery/download problem with Richtofen's guide (after this you can do whaterver u want with your phone, as long as you stay away from firmwares with bootloaders included)
4.Flash a 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware using Odin (i recommend one of the deodexed firmwares from Ramad's thread)
5.Apply what ever theme you want
Maybe this instruction seem a little hard to understand now but after you've finished reading the wiki from the link i've posted, it will be more clearer.
thanks for all the replies I will start reading about what you guys have posted in the morning iam on my mobile now and it is late please stay in touch with me I will be replying activly and frequently thx again ! I will Risk my phone as long as you guys are here to back me up , I was afraid of applying the first 3 bottom fix as most users cried about their phones getting broken.

Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.
As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.
Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.
And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

Now... most headache, lag issue.. memory full....
So.. is there any solution for this? i know root and flash might help but how can i do this? i read some threads around, but i not sure which to choose... or should i wait for official android 2.3? Will 2.3 solve my lag/hang issue? I don't know what is root or flash exactly, what can it do? any disadvantages?
Oh! and what is JIT? I heard it can make apps run faster! worth a try?

Want you need to do it search for username ramad or chainfire on rooting your phone... they offer good guides on how to do it or go and sign up to this website.... www.darkyroms.com... good luck...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ok! I found some ramad's post, will have a try... some question here.. can you help me out?...
Root means i can bypass OS permission and configure the system my self right? How about flash? erase the default firmware(original android os?) and install a new one? Will it cause some hardware failure or unable to use some features like wifi, bluetooth, gps? or maybe it will enhance it? !
After flash... some apps will unable to use right? because many apps support original os like 2.2, 2.3... if after i flash it... my os is not android 2.2, etc anymore right?
And just now i factory reset my phone.. now it unable to play Mp4 file.. it say i need to convert to supported format when transfer to phone... it is strange that i never have this error before, although i was transferring the same Mp4 file that i use to play in my phone before.
Flash your phone with Darky's 9.5 link was given by chrisdavesants
It's really easy to do too and plenty of guides are around.
Although it is a Froyo (2.2.1) rom it is far more stable than any Gingerbread rom's
Everything works just as it would on a stock rom.

Will it cause some hardware failure or unable to use some features like wifi, bluetooth, gps?No or maybe it will enhance it? ! Some enhancements are feasible on custom roms...
After flash... some apps will unable to use right? Didnot experience any apps not working... everything worked...
because many apps support original os like 2.2, 2.3...custom roms are based on official 2.2 or/and 2.3 so they are the same features are just enhanced...
if after i flash it... my os is not android 2.2, etc anymore right? Depends on what you flash... will stay 2.2.1 for froyo or 2.3.3 with ginger
And just now i factory reset my phone.. now it unable to play Mp4 file.. it say i need to convert to supported format when transfer to phone... it is strange that i never have this error before, although i was transferring the same Mp4 file that i use to play in my phone before.

Odin is where you flash custom or official roms... leaked roms... as well.. CWM IS clockworkmd where you flash zip files afer using odin..

Please see teh first thread in this forum it has links to many relevant articles that you might want to read...
I couldn't get all what you mean but here goes it...
To keep your phone memory empty you can move apps to sd-card...Learn more at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-install-applications-to-sd-card.html
If you are looking for Samsung Firmwares latest is 2.3.5 (not Official for all regions). There are many custom roms (not by sasmung) available to install and most of them are based on GB 2.3.4 (so they are also like latest). Please find more info in their threads in Development section of Galaxy Mini forum.
Updating will remove all your apps, settings, data, etc. and install a new firmware. So, it is a most to do a backup of your apps, contacts and other data first. You data on sd-card will be safe.

If it's 2.3.4 you could try yagya's tutorial on his site: yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-popmini.html

Update on advice
Hi thanks for posting advice.
I've managed to unlock the phone by using a combination of
Rooting it with Unlock Root via pc
That gave me Superuser (upgraded to pro for £2)
BusyBox Free, Titanium backup Free needed also
Then I was able to use Galaxy S Unlock to save files to sdcard and unlock to any network.:victory:
Now does this mean I'm rooted and don't have to follow all the steps that the link above advices
no need if already got busybox installed

Thanks for comments, can I ask now its rooted do I need to install anything else to allow me to change the Rom's such as newer official ones or once others are raving about.
Thanks.
updating or changing ROM was easy method but deadly also, wrong move will come to brick fone. if u really hav thought it well, juz follow any instruction on xda regarding i9000 after confirming ur device version, backed up baseband, build number n etc involve.
n now u ll need cwm for flashing. find cwm to gain access to recovery n thats where u gonna flash ur custom ROM, but read a lot before doing it as here in Q & A section, many success, also failure posted here, so be sure to read first mate

Congratulations on accomplishing your unlock. Now you might be helped with a good, rich toolbox and clear guides
I'm referring you to some wonderful threads I've come across during similar quests of my own.
(It's all there; but asking the right questions and not seeing the wood for the trees will always remain tricky )
So here are my top three suggestions for your toolbox, in order of importance and relevance. You might find some overlap among them.

As to what ROM to choose, I seriously like to push my own (eventual) ROM of choice, Mackay ROM (Unless gaming on the phone is your thing, which might bring up desires and demands that other ROMs serve even better.)
Good luck!
(And if this post was helpful, please hit THANKS. Thanks )
