FAQ
¿Why now LG PC Suite no longer recognizes the phone?
This happens all the GT540, remember that the last official update was 2.1
But do not worry, you can replace the LG PC Suite by another program called MyPhoneExplorer. FJ Software Development
After install Android 2.3.7, I want rooting my phone, how can do you root for?
After installing Gingerbread is not necessary to do root, version comes rooted and superuser.
About Recovery Recovery
During the installation of Android also automatically install the recovery, so you need not do it again.

Mmmz, I was thinking the same thing when it was posted... although it is slightly different from the guide posted on here, it's almost a clone of the one on modaco... which ironically taken from the other post on here.
Kinda makes one wonder... we're getting daisy-chain posts now...

Please do stereo bluetooth support a stable headset, Nokia BH-214, if you listen to music, press the pause button (on headset), and then play a song, the headset is disconnected from the phone.

What do you mean, if you want the recovery version, look at the original thread in the developer forum. Also, this thread is pointless as 1. The main topic is in the developer forum 2. there are around 2 or 3 guides (including mine) that explain all of this anyway.

Wipe your data and re-flash. Where did you get the ROM from? Either get it from: Mur4ik's Twitter account or the 4pda thread (remember it's in Russian) as these are directly related to Mur4ik.

Yeahh! i do this tutorial, and i have in my GT540 the 2.3.5 version of android...
In the beggining i have had a lot of problems, but i solved all and now my phone runs perfectly
Thanks!

i think its easier to download from
http://kulkoff.com/swift/
its english and no waiting time and it belongs to mur4ik

What to do you mean by that? You need to have command prompt set to the directory or the ROM along with the fastboot files.

Before we start, make sure you have Java, if not download from here: http://java.com/en/download
I did the touch screen firmware update on my old S5570, i deliberately took battery out during update as i couldnt care less about the phone and wanted a challenge; and sure enough it was dead... But wait... I managed to successfully fix it.... how?
Well
1. Put a custom recovery on your phone (Preferably CWM) - On my samsung you put it into download mode and flash through odin
2. Download ANY custom ROM for your device (.zip format)
3. Open the downloaded zip on your computer, navigate using WinRAR to /system and find the file build.prop, open that file with WordPad, not Notepad but WORDPAD. Find where it says "persist", and there will be a few that start with that, go to the last line and insert:
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
This enables USB Debugging by default, I'll explain why you need this later,
Ok save the build.prop and stick it back in the ZIP archive, now download this: https://www.mediafire.com/?omdol91672ieenr
Extract contents to Java directory C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/<Java>/bin (or C:/Program Files/Java/<Java>/bin for 32-bit)
Run cmd and type cd C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/<Java>/bin
(eg "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin")
Place your modified .zip in the /bin folder and name as "rom.zip"
Run sign_file.bat
There should be a rom_signed.zip file in the /bin directory
Now put your phone in recovery and Mount USB storage, drag your "rom-signed.zip" in the root directory, I imagine you'd know how to flash it, but remember to wipe data and cache before hand
Now here's the fun bit
Reboot phone after ROM is installed, 1st boot may take a while
Plug USB in to your computer and download ADB: http://androidarea51.com/downloads/adb.zip
Extract to C drive, now open CMD and type cd.. and cd.. again, then type adb devices, hopefully your phone's serial should appear, if not you have either not got drivers installed or you have done something wrong
So you see your serial number beside adb devices? Great
Now download this: http://androidscreencast.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/AndroidScreencast/dist/androidscreencast.jnlp
^^ This requires USB Debugging ^^
And run it, press a button on your phone and it should appear on your pc screen, using your mouse run through the setup proccess, once done open dialer and press "*#2663#" and press Update, then after reboot your phone and...
Touchscreen fixed successfully xD
This worked for me anyway, sorry if some of the instructions are hard to follow, it's my first tutorial so sorry, but please reply if you need any help

Hi, I was trying to follow your tutorial but when I try to install the rom "signed" CWM says that there's an error, I already tried with different recoveries and in some cases it says that the MD5 doesn't exist or the file is not signed or that the rom-signed.zip file can't be opened. I'm using CWM 6.0.4.5 and twrp 2.7.1.0. but I can't install the rom.

Try to recopy

Hi. Have you tried to recopy the ROM zip file to your sdcard? This usually happens to me also. Maybe the zip was corrupted while copying it from the PC to your sd card. Try to recopy the ROM.

Hi, sorry for delayed reply, It's morning here.
Unfortunately i think the only option will be to replace your phones digitizer, this will cost around £15-£25 from eBay
Unless you can find a boot.img (kernel) that has the touchscreen firmware then that's your only choice.

Yep. I would suggest 2 things. Get the uid, then flash a full update rom to 3.2. Then ota it to ics. Am mobile now, so you get the ball maverick!
Those demo roms are missing half the stuff. Not sure whether he has ext sd card access. Might have to euu him. Hence uid.

Hi, thank you all for your replies I am still having a hard time fully understanding everything like I said I am new to android. What I do know is it doesnt have google play which is my main concern. Kernel version 2.6.36.3 if that helps anyone its not bricked, I wouldnt mind flashing it if that would fix the problem and make it like a normal tablet version. Whats a UID? Where do I find it? Thanks again for your help

Well we will try and keep things simple for you, which isn't easy with this particular android device but the very first thing you should do is to retrieve your CPUID. This is imperative. If anything ever goes wrong this CPUID is needed to help you unbrick.
First we need to set up your PC to be able to communicate with your tab, so we need some drivers. This whole process works best with win7/vista/xp so if you are doing this on win8 you may have some issues. In saying that, if you're a Linux user, then thats even better, so please say if you are we can bypass a heap of stuff!!!
Head over to Acer Support and download the Acer drivers here Run the .exe to install
Download the usb drivers from here extract to a folder on your PC (desktop).
Once your drivers are installed check they are installed correctly.
1. Grab your micro usb cable and hook your tab to your PC (u should hear windows make the new hardware connected sound. Then you should see the 'new hardware wizard' attemp to install the Acer Drivers. Hopefully everything should install correctly.
2. Now on to test the usb/adb drivers. The files you extracted to your desktop. We aren't going to do anything as such with these, they just need to be on your system somewhere.
So, when you are ready.....right click the extracted folder (hold down shift key at the same time) You should see the context menu with an option to
"Open command window here..."
3. When the command opens type the following with no quote marks:
"adb devices" and then press enter.
4. You should see "List of devices attached....and a series of numbers/letters here like this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
this is your magical CPUID! and it should have 15 characters - write this number down and guard it with your life!!!
5. If you don't see this window, it means your PC does not 'see' your tab.
Try a different micro usb cable and make sure the cable is firmly connected, try a different usb port on your PC.
Well, thats your first lesson of the day
Once the drivers are setup correctly, we can move on to getting your tab upgraded into some ICS/Jellybean goodness!
Good luck with lesson 1, ya got any probs or u don't understand something, just ask

Not that I am aware of. Gonna need a PC with windows XP or 7. Mainly because most of the apps we use are windows based. And I wouldn't trust a windows emulator. Also, acer drivers install is windows based.
Do you have access to your external SD card? Will need to know.
The demo unit is the same as a regular 500. All the same hardware. The difference is the ROM they install. If you have access to your external SD card, it will make the process a little easier. Basically just put a full update rom on it, and reboot it via recovery.
But.... UID number we must have, just in case things go south as dibb said.
So check access to external sd card. You can do this by going to Settings>Storage and check.
Don't worry, we've done a couple of demo units in the past.
Mac's.....pffffttttt.....

NEWS FLASH
I told you we have dealt with Demo units in the past.
Go to;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410802&highlight=demo
You;ll need to read the posts....
Install the old Iconiaroot apk
Install Acer Recovery and let it install a CWM (custom recovery). Probably the oldest version.
After it's done, Flash a version 3.1 ROM
Let it OTA all the way to ICS
This of course is just another option. This is the old original way before version 3.2.

Well, that figures..demo unit... EUU time.
Basically, you are going to need a windows PC with the acer drivers installed. The whole process will take about an hour, so make sure your tablet is charged fully.
Get the following files;
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560 scroll down to the EUU, and click the box "show content". Select the torrentz file. Yes, it's torrentz, so you will need a torrentz app installed on the PC. If you don't want to deal with torrentz, let me know, and I'll check my drives nd see if I have the package.
2. go here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624645
Go to the bottom, and download the "usbdeview". There are 2. 1 for 32 bit windows, and 1 for 64 bit windows.
Extract both of those above packages to a folder on your pc.
Now, make sure on your tablet, you have USB Debugging set to ON (look in your System Settings, as I can't remember exactly where on HC 3.0). Connect yer tablet to PC and make sure you have no errors. If everything is good, unplug, and plug it back in a few times just to be sure.
Now, with tab connected, run the USBdeview app you extracted. Should give you a long set of numbers and letters. Write them down, or save in Notepad. This is your UID. You can close the app
Next, with tab still connected, run the EUU executable you extracted. Just follow the steps exactly as they say. This may take awhile. It'll probably ask for that UID number at some point.
When it's all finished, you should have to restart the tab, and the first boot will be somewhat long (10+ minutes or so). But it should boot into a fully working 3.0 HC. Which is crap by the way . You'll need to OTA, or contact us for advice.
Good luck.

try this EUU it will upgrade you to HC3.2.1 - its pre-rooted and will give you a custom recovery as well. Theres a readme with instructions included in the zip. As with any EUU you will need your cpuid to use it but usbdeview is also in there.
while you are waiting for this to download try rooting your current rom with this then install this .apk and you will be able to install a custom recovery. Once you are in recovery, the main screen will display yr cpuid too.

[Q] GT-S5360 Android 4-4-4 KitKat Tutorial: Drivers and Help Needed

I've successfully installed the LiquidSmooth ROM on my Kindle Fire HD, so now I'm keen to update my Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360.
I've read this tutorial, which seems to be written for my level (newbie). However, when I switch my S5360 into USB Debugging Mode, Windows 7 64-bit can't find the drivers; Device Manager shows this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It needs drivers for BCM21553-Thunderbird, CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM), and CDC ACM Data
Any suggestions?
Also, any comments on the above tutorial?
I'm doing it on a spare phone first, but I will need to backup my real one.

You need to install the USB drivers
You can find them on my firmware thread or type in Google Samsung USB drivers
Remember if on Windows 8.1 to install the driver setup in compatibility mode
Right click the setup
Select properties
Compatibility tab
Select run this programme in compatibility mode for
Select windows xp sp3 from the drop down box
Select apply
Run the setup
Also note there is no official KitKat for the galaxy y - only an unofficial cm11
Also I wouldn't follow those instructions
See the actual rom thread for instructions

Thanks for that. I'm a bit worried about "You must ensure that your phone is running the latest baseband available for your region, or else your device will not operate correctly when a SIM card is inserted..."
I got the drivers from http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows as linked in "... @marcussmith2626's stock ROM thread". I hope this is correct.

That is correct - Install those USB drivers - you will need them to flash the latest baseband (modem file) in download mode via odin
You can download just the modem file or the entire stock rom firmware from my firmware thread
You only need to update the baseband so you just need modem files but if you want to revert to stock rom at a later date you will need the entire firmware

I had searched for Odin, but found various versions, including version 3.10. I worry about such things, so prefer a link from someone I trust.
Thanks, I found your firmware thread. I assume I should use the "Modem Only" files. I downloaded from the link, it contains four md5 files. Is this correct? I use my phone in the UK and in Spain, I think I should use MODEM_S5360_XXMK1.tar.md5 - yes?
BTW, the drivers worked, but I was expecting to see my phone appear as a drive?

Haven't got a link to Odin as such as I downloaded my version few years ago
I would assume this version would work fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421&d=1341114315
Yes just place one of the modem files in the phone section of Odin & flash it - Just follow the instructions on the thread but in this case you are only flashing the modem file
I suggest that as you are in Europe you use a modem file that begins XX (like the one you quoted)
Note that you can match the modem file to the firmware - in the firmware name it's the last lot of characters
Eg pda_csc_modem

Start phone normally
Connect USB cable to pc
A notification will appear in phones status bar about USB storage
Select this notification
A window appears on phone
Depending on rom do one of the following
Press the button that says connect to pc
Or
Touch the logo of the droid to connect to pc
You will then see the drive in (my) computer on pc
Put the files like rom zip cwm & so on in the root of the sd card (this means not in any folder)
Note if using Windows 8.1 and you don't get the notification in the status bar when you plug in the USB cable & the phone only shows as charging see my thread about to connect to mass storage for Windows 8.1 (link in my signature)
Please note questions like this can easily be answered by the power of Google - please search next time

It should look like this (note I got these images from Google and it may look different on your phone)
Notification USB connected
When you click on notification
If you are using Windows 8.1 and you don't get the notification plug your phone into pc so it shows its charging then plug any other USB device you already have installed in (like a USB mouse) The notification should then appear on the phone
If not try different cable - use rear USB port if on pc & not front ones or hubs - reflash latest stock firmware via odin & test - try a different pc if possible

Haha yes not having an sd card inserted would be a major problem if you are trying to copy something to it lol
You can either use the auto Google backup if you are signed in via a Google account & then restore them when you sign in again
Or use an app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
Pictures copy to pc
Apps use titanium backup (playstore)
Remember if you want to do something there is always (android version permitting) an app for it

I seem to have another problem now: Cyanogenmod boots, but hangs at the Welcome screen, asking for a language.
I think I'm going to give up, my only reason for doing all this was to clear some space in the phone memory, and delete some stock apps.

This can happen if you flash gapps before booting the phone for the first time after flashing the rom
Boot the rom first then go back into recovery & flash gapps

[GUI] Fire Downgrader Utility - with integrated file hash checker & ADB

Fire Downgrader Utility - R1 29.09.2018
A small tool to downgrade your Fire tablet easily. Tested on my Fire 7, 5th generation.
Here is a small tool I wrote for downgrading your Fire tablet. It has a integrated file hash checker (for firmware versions 5.4.0 and below) and ADB. Just select the firmware file, hash the file if you want (recommended), then connect your Fire tablet (with ADB enabled on your tablet). Anything else is explained in the program.
It also has links to the firmware downloads and the downgradeable versions. I hope it's easy to use for you.
Tested on my Fire 7, 5th gen (2015). Everything worked (downgrade from 5.4.0 to 5.3.2.1) - feedback and bug reports are appreciated. I am also developing on a small GUI application for installing APKs from your computer, remove ads, and more.
Detailed Instructions:
1. Enable ADB on your device by going into developer settings and check "Enable ADB".
2. Start the program, and select the firmware file you wanna downgrade to.
3. Recommended, but not needed: click on the box with the text "Ready. You can continue without hashing [...]" if you want to check the file hash. The program will automatically do it for you.
4. Click on "Update device list" - your tablet should prompt you a message asking if you want to allow the connection to your PC via ADB. Check "Always allow for this computer" and click on "Update device list" again. Your tablet's device ID should be there. If it is, continue.
5. Click on "Reboot to recovery". Your tablet will now reboot into recovery.
6. When into recovery, select "Apply update from ADB". Then, click on "Update device list again", your tablet's ID should be there, and next to it "sideload". If it is, proceed to step 7.
7. Click on "Downgrade!" - and wait! When it's done, press F1 to disable the input lock.
