UPDATE!!! 07 December Official Gingerbread Rom 2.3.6 (DDKQ7) for Indian Galaxy Pop Users is available for download. Follow this link to flash it on your device.
Samsung galaxy pop/mini gts5570 is an awesome Smartphone that ships with stock android 2.2.1 (Froyo) operating system. But, if you want your Samsung device to run on android 2.3.4 then there is good news for you. Gingerbread 2.3.4 is out for Samsung galaxy pop/mini but it will take much time for Samsung to make it available to all the galaxy pop/mini users over different regions.
Samsung galaxy pop/mini gts5570 is an awesome Smartphone that ships with stock android 2.2.1 (Froyo) operating system. But, if you want your Samsung device to run on android 2.3.4 then there is good news for you. Gingerbread 2.3.4 is out for Samsung galaxy pop/mini but it will take much time for Samsung to make it available to all the galaxy pop/mini users over different regions.
So you will have to manually upgrade to a European version firmware using Odin (software used to flash custom firmwares/roms in Samsung devices). But, since this upgrade works on all international version of galaxy pop/mini you will be safe until you stay close to the information given in this article. This upgrade of Samsung galaxy pop/mini to gingerbread 2.3.4 also works for Indian as well as other Asian region handsets. Also remember that flashing will delete all your apps and data in the internal storage so it it recommended to backup your applications and data with the help of Titanium Backup, App Monster or other similar application before doing such activities in your device.
To begin the process let’s start with downloading all the necessary files to your personal computer. Download the files from links given below:
- Odin Multi Downloader v4.38 for GTS5570
- Tass.ops [Password : yagyagaire ]
- Gingerbread 2.3.4 Rom (European version, S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK.rar)(Password to extract is sampro.pl) OR Gingerbread 2.3.4 Rom (Asian Region, S5570ZSKPB_S5570OZSKPB_S5570XXKPL.rar)
- Charge your phone and personal computer to full charge (at least above 60%-70%) to avoid any issues during upgrade. (Note: If you don’t upgrade properly you might even brick your phone.)
- Run S5570_Odin Multi Downloader v4.38 application on your PC.
- Click OPS button and select Tass_v1.ops file downloaded earlier.
- Select/Tick One Package Option (Don’t Check/Uncheck others, leave them as they are.)
- Click One Package button and select the S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK_HOME.tar file you extracted earlier from your download (see image below).
- Power off your phone and boot it in Download Mode (Press Home + Volume Down + Power Button).
- If you see a yellow triangle icon with Downloading written inside it connect it to your pc via USB.
- If odin detects your phone it will show COM Port # (Port Number) written in yellow background on its window (see image below).
- If everything above went well click Start Button to proceed then wait till it finishes (approx. 5.30 minutes) and reboots your phone.
- When Odin says PASS close the application and disconnect your phone.
Since this is European version you might have some difficulties at beginning as the language is not set to English. Follow the settings icons (they are similar to your previous rom) and go to Select Language Setting (Settings>Locale and Text>Select Language) and scroll down until you see English. Tap it to select and use as default language. Congratulations! You now have a smart phone running gingerbread 2.3.4 OS.
If you want to root your newly upgraded Samsung galaxy mini/pop then go through this article.
UPDATED!!! September 21, 2011
I have added the link to download Asian region gingerbread 2.3.4 rom and is probably the latest firmware update for galaxy pop gts5570. So, users from Asia are recommended to flash this rom.

@Om Shrestha: Thank you and welcome as well!!! So, do you also have a samsung galaxy pop phone and are you also from Nepal?(Just asking for curiosity) Anyway, were you successful in upgrading to gingerbread ?
ReplyDeleteIt's up to you whether you upgrade to gingerbread or not. But, its a good idea to wait for official gingerbread. I'm also waiting to flash the orginal one cause there are some minor problems with this european version. Hope Samsung will provide it officially soon. If you want you can add me in facebook. I also hope we will get to meet some day...By the way I live near SOS, Bharatpur-8.
ReplyDeleteyagya, Did you tested well. I am also having pop also not having confident to flash. Can you help me out here.
ReplyDeleteYes, Its well tested... don't worry you probably will do fine if you stick with the instructions above ... Also you can flash asian region rom, i will update the link today...
ReplyDeleteHi Yagya is this update workiing on phone froyo.dxkg2?
ReplyDeleteBy the way i already download that rom for asia, but it got password to extract..
Thanks :)
Not so sure about that, I tested in my galaxy pop and its build was Froyo.DDKC1 .
ReplyDeleteBut, it will probably work and if doesn't you can revert to froyo anytime by flashing froyo rom from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-s5570.htm .
Password to extract is samfirmware.com
Update News to Yagya/Other
ReplyDeleteJust now update. Who ever got froyo build FROYO.DXKG2 is working to flash. I use asian version rom. I flash and just follow the step everthing will be fine.
Thanks to yagya finally gingebread. Now will try update the CM7 mode..
Thanks again.
yagya,
ReplyDeleteI am from india(Tamilnadu),
I have two more doubt or questions before flashing my mobile.
1. I need to unroot my mobile back (revert), because i already rooted my mobile or I leave as it is?
2.I need to take backup my files, setting..etc before flashing? Or How i revert back if something went wrong?
Please answer my two doubts...
@Nachi no need to unroot your phone , just flash it the way it is now.
ReplyDeleteYes, you will need to backup your apps, contacts, and any other data that you want to save because flashing will completely remove everything you have in your internal storage. Also it is better to remove sd card and sim before flashing (not compulsory though but for more safety).
wow, thanks dude for keeping us posted on the galaxy mini!
ReplyDeleteTried it. Worked. NICE !!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@Yagya,
ReplyDeleteThanks. But which application i need to use for backup my android.
"What are measures or things do to when flashing goes wrong"
@Nachi You can use titanium backup (recommended), app monster or app control to backup your apps and data. There are many in market search for them. Also best idea is to make sure nothing goes wrong while flashing but if you did something wrong and you can't access even the boot loader or recovery you will have to give it to a repair shop. But if you can access either bootloader or recovery and can go to download mode you can try flashing the rom again.
ReplyDelete@yagya,
ReplyDeleteOh my god.
Is this happen ha "Not able to access bootloader or recovery".
Can you make video tutorial and upload it in youtube because i have less confident to try because i purchased 2 month later.
@Nachi You are probably very much worried about it. Don't worry charge your phone well, remove simcard and sdcard (for more precaution) and then just follow the above steps carefully. Don't worry too much many users have done it and i've personally tested it on my pop that had indian droyo S5570DDKC1 rom.
ReplyDeleteAlso if anything went wrong you can give it to samsung service center for repair (and if you are lucky they won't even charge you since you have warranty.)or repair it in any shop by paying small fee. Just be careful not to interrupt the process and wait patiently (6-7 minutes after you've started the flash process) before doing anything (like moving it or playing with it) else with your phone.
Working perfectly, thanks again
ReplyDelete@yagya, tomorrow i will flashing my rom.
ReplyDeleteAll the best!!! Good Luck with it...
ReplyDelete@Yagya,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wishes, final one doubt on it, i have extracted .rar file but it showing .tar.md5 is this the file i want to load in one package field. But you told tar file but i having .tar.md5.
@Yagya, I have flashed sucessfully.
ReplyDeleteAll application installed in phone previously are remains same in this version also.
I want to wipe data/cache or i will continue with that application ha?
@Nachi
ReplyDeleteYes it is the file that you load in One Package field... Also it is good if you wipe the data but if the phone is running smoothly and you are not having any problem then it is not compulsory ...
Also Congratulations on successful upgrade to gingerbread.
@Yagya,
ReplyDeleteGreat support.
Please explain deeper about the Wipe data/Cache and one more explain me the custom recover option?
can i just copy all the files to my system and replace them after upgrading???
ReplyDeleteI don't think you might want to do that because /system/app contains only the system application and thus previous app (which you probably copied from froyo) might not be compatible with the new os and if you replace older one (& if it worked by chance) what would be the use of upgrading if you replace all files from froyo.....
ReplyDeleteHowever, you can try to do but remember neither me or this site can be held responsible if anything wrong happens with your device (though i think it can be solved by flashing rom again but its better to stay away from system/app unless you are a developer and are expert in such matters)
yagya im in india having a pop and im running froyo.ddka7. does this upgrade work for my fone also
ReplyDeletehiiiiiiiii i m sarthak from india i have galaxy pop is it really safe to upgrade with your latest version
ReplyDelete@ noor: yes it works for all international GSM version of galaxy pop phones .. It works for your too.
ReplyDelete@ sarthak yes it is safe to upgrade with latest version ( i recommend you use asian version of rom)... As you can see Many users have done and there completely no harm if you follow the instructions and do it the right way .
@Yagya,
ReplyDeleteGreat support.
Please explain deeper about the Wipe data/Cache and one more explain me the custom recover option?
thanks i will upgrade today
ReplyDeleteTHANKS THANKS I UPGRADED IT
ReplyDeleteHI I am from Bangladesh, I updated my s5570(region - asia ddkc1) with gingerbread 2.3.4 few days ago and it works fine, no issue. In few moments I will flash with CyanogenMod 7.1.0.
ReplyDelete@ Kumar you are welcome ... Good luck with cm7 rom.
ReplyDelete@Masud All the best!!!
Hi I am from Ktm, Nepal. Right now I am using Android 2.2.1 Froyo S5570DDKC1. I think I will try the Asian version tomorrow, still am a little scared. No issues with the new version so far right? since you also personally did it yourself for DDKC1...
ReplyDeleteI hope nothing goes wrong when I try it...
Also one more question, may sound a little stupid (am very new to android) but still, how do I backup all my contacts so I can recover them after upgrading. I am using an unrooted phone so I cant use Titanium Backup. I know I can copy them to my simcard, but i have more contacts than the limit and also simcard saves each number separately even for same contact, so just asking is there any other better method?
ReplyDeletePra, Nothing go go wrong just follow the steps and precautions from above... You can sync the contacts via Samsung Kies to your pc and latter sync back them back to your phone.... Also You can use third party software like Android Wifi Manager from mobile-action or Mobile GO....
ReplyDeleteALl the best with upgrading!!!
Ok one more question, do I need a working connection to do this or after I have downloaded all the files mentioned here, I can do it offline?
ReplyDelete@Pra,
ReplyDeleteAnother easy method is their taking backup of contact..
Go to contact--> press left buttomn--> then select import/export then it has more option, select options as per your requirement after that all your contact (vcard format) in your sd card. You can later import using same steps.
Pra, you don't need any working connection... Once you download all the files you can do it offline....
ReplyDeleteall done thanks so much...
ReplyDeletehello,
ReplyDeletei have been wanting to upgrade to gingerbread...reading top to bottom,i m going to give a try.
to be on the safer side,if gingerbread doesnt install as said,any way to revert back to froyo??
Do i need to have Kies on my PC????
ReplyDeletei have got all the necessary files downloaded right on my PC,just need to know if kies are a must??
ReplyDeletei need to back up my apps ahead of flash???
Hello Mutz, You can download a froyo rom from samfirmware.com and flash it. But, that won't be necessary cause if you do the right way you will have and upgraded galaxy pop.
ReplyDeleteKIes is not necessary but you must install teh drivers so that your computer can recognize your device. The easy way to do this is install Kies (that automatically install required drivers for you).
Yes, you need to backup all your apps ahead of the flash cause it will delete all your data and apps including contacts, and other that are on internal memory. But it won't affect your files in sd-card. You can backup your contact within from phone (using export option, this is recommended) or from Kies...
Good Luck and Have a safe flashing!!!
I get that error
ReplyDelete<1> mibib download..

Anonymous, DOn't unplug the USB until Odin Shows PASS on one of the square boxes at the top... Please follow the instructions above carefully and try again....
ReplyDeleteI did it exactly as you said. It gave me that message and said fail on the top box. I didnt disconnect anyhitng, the phone reboots I assume its not the right drivers or somehting? I have the mobilicity samsung mini btw. Is there a email or msn i could contact you at
ReplyDeleteyes you can find me at www.facebook.com/yagyagaire
ReplyDeleteDo you have Kies installed, it also installs driver for you. Also try to remove your sdcard and sim card and then try flashing again..
It wont let me contact you on chat. Check your fb privacy settings
ReplyDeletesorry for that... can you please post your's and i will add you. Also plese check to make sure that the Odin version you are using is v4.38.
ReplyDeleteCouple of questions wondering if mini users experience this as well:
ReplyDelete1) When charging, and i press a button on mini takes a while to wake up and show the battery icon. Is this normal
2) Is there a way to undim the screen when its charging
3) Sometimes when i plug in the charger it does nothing but light the screen, forcing me to take out the battery and restart
when you charge while your phone is switched off, it is normal to show battery icon...
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can undim while charging and again dim when it is unplugged like you can in your laptop. But, with the help of third-party app it might be possible to do so, search market or google for them. (never needed one, so don't know much)
Are you talking of the white blank screen. My phone also shows me that rarely (but not necessarily while charging) and it returns to normal after few seconds (or minutes).
"when you charge while your phone is switched off, it is normal to show battery icon... " what i meant was there was a like 3 second lag before the phone would show the battery icon.
ReplyDeleteUmm not the white screen. Its when the phoesn off and i plug in my charger to charge the phone. Sometimes it jsut freezes and doesnt charge
yes there is some seconds lag before it shows the battery icon.. it is normal, don't worry about that.
ReplyDeleteDon't know about the later one... I rarely charge my phone while its off (it works fine at that time). But, sometimes gts5570 freezes (while its on) and shuts down.. ( i have had this 3 times since last few months)
@YAGYA
ReplyDeleteFirst I want to say Thnx for your guidance in upgrading Gingerbread update for samsung galaxy pop.
I upgraded successfully my samsung galaxy pop from FROYO 2.2.1 to GINGERBREAD 2.3.4. I confirmed it by checking version in About my phone option.
But after upgradation I noticed that my old softwares, SMSs, contacts are intact. As you said this update will format the phone. But in my case nothing happened.
Have I successfully upgraded my phone??
One more thing I want to ask you is (Is this chinese update of samsung galaxy pop??)
I noticed that in Keyboard settings there are Chinese keyboards.
I really scared after viewing Chinese keyboards in my phone as Chinese softwares or operating systemss are always bundled with viruses & malwares.
Once again thnx & waiting for your answers.
Please confirm by checking About Phone Settings to see 2.3.4 in Android Version and S5570XXKPK or S5570ZSKPB (depending upon which rom you flashed)in Baseband Version, If so, you have upgraded to gingerbread successfully.
ReplyDeleteAlso the contacts might be on your sdcard or google might have synced them back after you setup you google account on your device. (Also, you might feel some changes, that will make sure you have latest gingerbead).
And don't worry this rom is for China and it might be possible it has Chinese fonts on keyboard, but it doesn't have malwares and viruses. So, no problem. Change your language to English if you are having problem to view and type in english.
I think my problem is its not detected. I got the port it says 1 (COM 17) but the top left box is empty. Is this because i have hte samsung dart? its bascialy the north american version of the mini
ReplyDeleteDid you try installing Drivers from Samsung. and only use v4.38 of ODin.. Doesn't the north american galaxy mini has official update? Try upgrading from kies...
ReplyDeletehi i want to know which one i have to install the Euro or the Asian? i am from Malaysia. please .;. thanks..
ReplyDeletehey can i try installing with out kies,kies installation is unsuccessful at my end,shall download from Samsung!
ReplyDeleteIf kies is a must pls link me up to it,asap!!!
Um in order to connect to Kies how do oyu set up the phone. It onyl shows USb storage mode which doesnt connect
ReplyDelete@ yagya:
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!!u have done a great job here,one of the best blogs that actually helped.
After lot of research i have successfully flashed to gingerbread with the device drivers being detected automatically(though i had to wait until ODIN detected my phone and COM port #)
Thanks once again,and keep up the Good work,next step will be ROM Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0
though i have gmail synced contacts and backed up my apps,a lot of change,confirmed my build,says GINGERBREAD!!!! awesome...
@Anonymous You can try flashing any rom, both work great... Asian is recommended for you though.
ReplyDeleteI guess you will have to reinstall kies with the phone connected to your pc for it to detect your phone...
@mutz No, kies isn't required. what we need are the drivers for our device so that our computer (Odin) detects it when we connect it to PC.
Anyway, Thank You!!! and Congratulation.
Still doesnt work Yagya, I give up is there any way of getting Cynogen Mod directly from 2.2.2
ReplyDeleteI was also having same problem righ now... The thing is you will have to wipe data and cache...
ReplyDeleteIf you are still at boot loop, take out your battery and put it back in (or by any method go to recovery). Now press HOme + Power button to go to recovery... There Wipe data and cache and reboot. Wait till its reboots( abpout 4-10 minutes)... It will work for sure, try it once...
How to use maps and market in CM
ReplyDeleteNachi: Flash gapps to get maps and market. Also please post CM7 questions in CM7 related articles and don't forget to go through it and the other comments there, for they might contain answers to your questions, before asking any question.
ReplyDeletewow looks like you are the guru on this!
ReplyDeletewill this work for froyo.mjkb1 ?
I followed all the instuctions but all i get is the yellow triangle with downloading and the phone is connected to the pc with usb...
ReplyDeleteYou have soft bricked your phone. This might shows that this method doesn't work with your phone or you did it the wrong way. If you did it the right way as stated above, then i suggest you take it to a repair shop and have them mend it.(you can even ask them for gingerbread). Else try it again.
ReplyDeleteMake sure nothing goes wrong while flashing, like Odin shut down before finishing, phone shutting down, etc. Try flashing it once again and follow the instructions well. DOn't touch your phone until it says PASS in Odin.
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteI tried the same and it is working fine....
AS i restarted my phone n then done the recovery mode i get 4 options
ReplyDelete1. reboot ur phone
2. apply update.zip from sdcard
3.Wipe data/factory reset
4.Wipe Cache partition
instead of the downloading screen plz help me Should i click on update.zip
n i tried searching the”update.zip” file on my sdcard but dint got it so was not able to delete it :(
Akash, I think you are mistaking recovery mode for download mode. It's to be noted that they are different. TO get to the downloading screen, shut down your phone and then press Volume Down + Home + Power Buttons at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAnd no need to click on update.zip, neither you ought to delete it.
Hello Yagya, I have a slight problem I'm hoping you can help me fix. I recently completed the steps above and upgraded from 2.2 to gingerbread. Everything loaded up perfect but whenever I try to access the internet or gmail, it says no internet connection. I can call and text message and I have selected Vodafone(ireland) as my network. I've read something about the baseband not being compatible..any ideas?
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Luigi! Make sure you check Data Enabled Option and select an APN configuration provided by your operator on APN Names list on Mobile Internet Settings in Settings>Wireless & network settings. Also, make sure to uncheck use only 2G networks... Is your device connecting over wifi?? If you are still unable take help from your operator cause you device might not have needed settings to connect over mobile data.
ReplyDeleteCan you please upload the Asian region ROM to some other site... have problem with hotfile.. tried downloading it 5 times... it always fails :(
ReplyDeletePlease download Asian Region Gingerbread rom from this link :

wht about warranty ???
ReplyDeleteHey dude ... thnx a lotttttt ... upgraded to gingerbread and rooted it... havin fun ..:) thnx a tonnnnnnnnn
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome Abhishek...
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Rooting voids your warranty but upgrading doesn't... So, we can put it this way, Do it your own risk!!!
so my warranty is gone or not ???
ReplyDeletereally i loose it ??
if you rooted than you warranty is gone (it was about to go by itself after a year, so whats the point.) And, yes please use your name while posting a comment and post a relevant one... Our spam filtering sytem considers anonymous comments as spam, so you maynot get reply for your queries.
ReplyDeletehow do i make my cpu in galaxy mini run max speed?
ReplyDeletehey yagya thx buddy i have update today!!! working cool!!!
ReplyDeleteu need to specify that worranty is gonna to be loose by this ,
ReplyDeleteby the way this is specially helpful blog and i done it successful just becaz of ur detail specification with images of each and every step , thank you so much .
Just little bit regret of loosing worranty , if any thing goes wrong in future than wht ??
once again thank you boss!!
Pranav I bet your warranty will only cover damages within a year time interval.... and you have probably used it for more than few months. SO, just chill and enjoy the gingerbread.... Your warranty would have gone by the end of one year from the date of purchase.
ReplyDelete@toban You can use overclocking kernels to run your cpu in max speed. Also, try using MAsterCPU app from the market, it will surely help you...
thanks.... i try search from the market
ReplyDelete@Yagya: sir if the latest version of android be release can i still update my phone through samsung kies after flashing to gingerbread? cuz android said ICE CREAM SANDWICH will be release this October or November... pls reply
ReplyDeleteYes, you sure can upgrade it via kies, if not then via Odin (when the rom is available for download from samfirmware.com)...
ReplyDelete@Yagya

what can i do to upgrade my Galaxy Mini please, need tether
GWada, It seems your pc doesn't have drivers for your device... Please install Kies (for it will install driver automatically) Or, Download this and install drivers from here.
ReplyDeletehttp://hotfile.com/dl/109276666/f22355e/SAMSUNG_USB.rar.html
Unpac and install the drivers and then try again.
@Yagya I had the same problem as GwadaTradeBoy in my pc then after starting odin it took almost 15mins but nothing happened so i restarted the process from the start. But the same thing happened numerous times so i disconnected my phone from my pc. the screen was only showing downloading and nothing was working so i removed my battery and tried to restart it again but it has stopped on the screen showing a picture of pc and phone connection not available. pls help me wat shoul i do now!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have probably soft bricked your phone... But, don't worry you can solve it by falshing any firmware using Odin. Download Samsung Drivers from http://hotfile.com/dl/109276666/f22355e/SAMSUNG_USB.rar.html and install it on your pc. Now setup Odin as explained above and then put your phone in download mode (if it doesn't go to download mode, then connect it as it is -- with the phone and pc icon). Once Odin shows connected (COM # in yellow background at the top) click start and wait till it completely finishes (about 5-10 minutes); if everything went successfully you will unbrick your galaxy pop.
ReplyDelete@Yagya
ReplyDeleteHello,
I was able to by-pass the problem by launching the upgrade on a machine turning under Windows XP; I think that the management of the right under Windows 7 raises problem.
@yagya thx, now ive finish flashing to gingerbread xD thx so much, now let's all wait for ICE CREAM SANDWICH :D....i wont probably need samsung kies anyways the updates are so slow there..thx YAGYA!
ReplyDelete@Yagya i am the person getting the pc and the phone icon. I installed the drivers and again started the process but its still giving me the same problem i.e. "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in S5570_Odin+Multi+Downloader+v4.38.exe"
ReplyDeleteand it is been shown by visual studio just-in-time debugger, so i even uninstalled visual studio. but still the same message is been shown. pls help me
Anonymous, Please find another pc for doing it, maybe your friend or relatives can help --I think there is some error with your pc (I can't really figure out, since it never happened to me and I can't get my hands on your pc or mobile.)-- And, follow the steps again properly. Don't forget to install drivers before starting.
ReplyDeleteSuccessfully upgraded to Gingerbread! Thanks =3 Now I shall continue with the others! My target is to be able to do the partition thing. Thanks for your detailed tutorial :)
ReplyDelete@nadine what do you mean about partition thing?.
ReplyDelete@yagya is there a tutorial for cyanogen? i dont really understand the others ... :D
Fawakes, He is talking about partitioning his sdcard so that he can install all his app on that partition. Read more here:
ReplyDeletehttp://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html
Yes, you can flash CM7 and here is how you can do it.

hey yaga...tell me a littele about the working conditions after installing gingerbred....like....android market application downloads .....as this the version has not been out yet in officially in some countries......mine is india....will there be any problem...?????
ReplyDeleteHi, I did as you said above, after it said PASS, I closed the Odin and disconnected the phone, but my phone is not turning on or not going to download mode. any Idea?
ReplyDelete@yaga hey can i switch back if i want and will that be normal?????
ReplyDeleteor when the official version rolls out can i use it on my phone like upgrading.........plz tell me.......i really am in a condition.....which is to find a solution to firmware upgrade problem on my mini.....!
Hi, I did as you said above, after it said PASS, I closed the Odin and disconnected the phone, but my phone is not turning on or not going to download mode. any Idea? ??
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, It works fine with Indian Galaxy Pop, I tested in the one that had Indian Froyo Firmware and it works fine. Also, you can switch back to froyo at anytime. Just download froyo firmware from samfirmware.com and flash it as above.
ReplyDeleteAlso, For those whose phone is not turning on --you are stuck in a boot loop-- you try this:
Take out your battery and put it back in (or by any method go to recovery). Now press HOme + Power button to go to recovery... There Wipe data and cache and reboot. Wait till its reboots( abpout 4-10 minutes)...
If you phone is not turning on --black screen-- you bricked your phone and you should give it to samsung service center for repair. ANd for those who get phone connecting to pc sign, go to download mode and flash firmware again as above.
But when it installed correctly, why it is not turning on?? Odin says PASS, I tried to install Asian version.
ReplyDeletecan you tell me what is the difference between Asian and Europe version??
SInce both Asian and European version are gingerbread 2.3.4 there is not much diffrence on the outer appearence/ UI. Some core features including language, radio signal, etc (I don't know much since I am not a specialist) are different. If you are having problem with one you can try another...
ReplyDeleteI am using Galaxy POP I559 (CDMA version of S5570), will these updates work on this model??
ReplyDeletebuddy thanks a ton!!!!!working like a charm......!
ReplyDeleteOk. This might sound stupid but do I need to have a rooted set to do this?
ReplyDeletei think odin has issues with win7 or maybe x64 versions.... im not sure..... the yellow box is empty on mine. im running on win7 x64
ReplyDeletewin7 x64 SP1 to be exact and i have the code:5 error
ReplyDeleteThanx bro i upgrade my galaxy mini today. but what about the language? my phone showing me in chinese language
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether it works on Galaxy POP I559 (CDMA version of S5570), but it sure works on GSM version.
ReplyDeleteIf it worked for you please inform us!!!!
Also, no need to have a rooted phone to do this.
Rowell, I think you don't have the drivers installed. Please install Samsung Drivers from above and try again. Also, can you explain your error code --what does it says exactly?
For the language just follow the icons --hope you recognize what icon means what from froyo-- Go to settings (Gear like icon)>> Locale and text (Some text on white button)>> and select the language English (after scrolling you will see English word)
hey I successfully upgraded to gigngerbread.... i just used another usb port....... although the big box is not yellow and empty..... it still worked(win7 x64 sp1)
ReplyDeletethank you!!
i upgrade my galaxy mini to gingerbread. can i root now?
ReplyDeleteYes, you may root your phone now. Please, go through this article http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-popmini.html
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the excellent information and follow up. Just wondering, Im from Kenya running froyo.JVKA5....is it advisable to do anything?
Yes, if your phone is carrier unlocked ( sim unlocked) then you can upgrade it with this method. If you want you can even flash CM7 on your device. It is really a nice rom.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yagya,
ReplyDeleteI'v just rooted it first. I'm going to try the update, do you have any instructions on flashing CM7?
Its carrier unlocked but Iv probably voided my warranty.
Here you are, read this to flash CM7.

ReplyDeletethanks,

hello there, i have upgraded my froyo ti gingerbread, but on the baseband version its written S5570DXKPD. Did i do something wrong? because its different from the baseband that you wrote. thx
ReplyDeleteIndra, If you have used the above methods you ought to get the same as above. I think either you upgraded via Kies or still have Froyo. The baseband you wrote suggest you are from either of these Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam countries and your firmware is released on August. So, you must be having latest firmware of your region --but, I can't tell whether it is GB or Froyo.
ReplyDeleteYes Yagya i am from Indonesia. There is nothing wrong bout my phone, the os has changed to gingerbread, but im curious why the baseband is not the same. Thx for your info, i will try it again from the top.
ReplyDeletehiiiiiii yagya.. u from nepal..? its nice.. am from india.. all ur informations are really very usefull...i appreciate ur work.. plz keep doing this.. then are u in facebook.. how to get u there...
ReplyDeleteYou write very well, Yagya. Easy and detailed step by step instruction, one do not need to ask question again.
ReplyDeleteCongrats for your achievement.
today i have installed thanks Yagya.
ReplyDeleteHi Yagya,
ReplyDeletedoes it work withversion: s5570xxka5?
thanks
Yes, it works. Infact the European Version mentioned above is the official gingerbread version of your firmware. I see you are (or maybe your phone) from Europe.
ReplyDeleteYap, im from Europe.
ReplyDeleteIve downloaded the "S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK.rar", but i couldnt find the file "S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK_HOME.tar", there are 4 different files on the rar, but non of them is the :"S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK_HOME.tar".
Can you help me?
thanks a lot!
Just extract the .rar file and you will get the .tar file. If you further open the tar file then you will get the nine (not four) files. you can verify the extension of the file by visitng the properties of the files. Or, if you get S5570XXKPK_S5570XXKPK_S5570SERKPK_HOME file, it is the tar file we are taking about.
ReplyDeleteAlso, please use your name as I suggested above while commenting. Thanks!
Dear Yagya Jee,
ReplyDeleteI have also Samsung GT-s5570 and I have found after upgrading to 2.3.4 that FM radio is not working properly (I have upgraded to 2.3.3 using 5 files not a single file and then after 2.3.4 using a single file), cannot read Nepali font in the internet.
I hope you have some solution for this.
Sunil KC

FM radio should work on 2.3.4. I think you flashed some wrong firmware... If it is still not working, please flash the asian firmware from above...
ReplyDeleteFor the Nepali font, please read this...

Dear yagya,i have successfully upgraded my galaxy mini to the asian version of gingerbread.i am residing in kolkata.every thing seems fine but when i go to the internet settings and access point names its showing "reliance rcom and reliance rcom mms" instead of docomo internet settings.i am unable to delete the raliance settings....ufter upgrading i had reset factory settings...bt now internet cannot be used....i hav tried to manually put my internet settings bt its not working....please help immediately....thanks in advance.....
ReplyDeleteneel, you should fist subscribe to use internet from your network provider (in your case its docomo, I guess) and they will send you settings to your mobile --if they don't you will have to manually create and APN(access point) in the APN list. You can ask for APN name and port to the network providers, if you don't know already, and then save the APN. And finally, make sure you have checked use Mobile Data (or similar) on Wireless and Network Settings.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous, Please use your name... Make sure you have drivers installed for your mini and also you are using the right version of Odin. Also, connect your device in download mode to the PC properly and try again.
ReplyDeleteNeel, Glad you got your settings back. But, am sorry I can;t help you with the music. The thing is I use CM7 at the moment. But, you can always try using another player or if you really think there is some error a factory reset might work. Make sure you backup all your apps before factory reset.
Yagya Gaire everything is okey. i will try on xp os ;) today i send you a friendship in facebook i'm стоян божанов ;)if i have problems i will contact you there :)
ReplyDeleteHey there. I'm still getting the "<1> --- cannot open the usb serial port. code: 32" error.
ReplyDeleteI read through the comments and downloaded the drivers, restarted my PC but i'm still getting the same error. Is there any kind of help you could provide?
Excuse me, to be exact, i'm getting "<1> --- cannot open the usb serial port. code: 5"
ReplyDeletenot the code:32
Turning off Kies helped.
ReplyDeleteRhythmic, sorry you had to figure it out on your own. Anyway, am glad you were successful.
ReplyDeletesorry yagya the last comment was really foolish.I successfully upgraded to gb but notification display is very blurred.Now going to upgrade to cyanogenmod 7.1
ReplyDeletehey my build no. is Froyo.DDKA7... I can upgrade to KC1 from kies... So do you recommend i do that and then to 2.3.4 or will it still work without doing that??
ReplyDeleteIt will work without upgrading to KC1... But, please use your name.
ReplyDeleteHi i am from India , I hav updated my fone thnx a lot but all my applications and contacts are still there is that a problem
ReplyDeleteNabil, If it is sucessfully upgraded then it's not a problem. I'm wondering how all your apps are still there, they should have gone. Anyway, are your apps (the one that you've installed by yourself) still there? Contacts couls have been there if they were stored on simcard or sd-card. Just, check Android version once at ABout Settings. If you have 2.3.4 its ok.
ReplyDeleteFirstly I would like to thank you for this amazing blog! Now for some reason my camera is not working after the upgrade ... I installed vignette camera app and there the camera works... so I think there is some problem with the stock camera... so could you post a link to download the camera? ?
ReplyDeletePs. I have a rooted phone...
hey yagya....
ReplyDeletei m stll begginer n cant understand these techni. langueges...
can anyone exactly tell me what will happen to my phone?

The thing is all my apps,messages,contacts were as they were even my home screen wall paper was d same after i updated,but in it shows android 2.3.4 in my Setting.
ReplyDeleteBtw cud u pls gimme a link for Android 2.2.1(froyo) Original Indian version a frnd of mine wants to revert back to it.
Ronak, IT will upgrade your smartphones firmware just like you upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. So, basically after upgrading to Gingerbread you will get better security, performace and more battery life. It doesn't have much chage in UI.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes you will be able to use those apps that were made for Gingerbead too. Please read through the comments and the article so that you will know more on this issue. I'm sure you will learn a lot from comments here. --THey are also like FAQs so go ahead.
Suraj, you can try to wipe data and cache (from recovery) to solve your problem. But, be careful, it will delete all your data and apps, so a backup (using Titanium or any other tool) is a must. If you still face problem, write back. I will post the camera app. Or, you can reflash GB if possible.
ReplyDeleteNabil, Ok! Here is original FROYO 2.2.1 Firmware for Samsung Galaxy Pop Indian Version, S5570DDKC1 :

ReplyDeleteASAP
Anil, You are welcome and Thanks very much!!
ReplyDeleteNabil, I think the graphics is ok in GB, if you don't like flash CM7. It much better than GB.
ReplyDeleteWhat problem do you have exactly? Try connecting your phone to PC and see if Odin Detects it. If it does than try flashing again...
hi yagya, if i dnt want to keep gingerbread 2.3.4 & want to go to froyo 2.2.1
ReplyDeletethen wat 2 do?
SAM, why do you want to go back to Froyo? Anyway, to go back just flash Froyo Firmware for your region. If you are from India I have a link to Froyo posted just few comments ahead.
ReplyDeleteAlso, It is better you flash this http://hotfile.com/dl/111663255/c02ba50/S5570XWKC1.rar.html before flashing the firmware for your region. This is very much recommended for safe downgrade to Froyo from Gingerbread.
i m 4m Punjab(INDIA),
ReplyDeletehttp://hotfile.com/dl/111663255/c02ba50/S5570XWKC1.rar.html
for what this link is?
& how 2 downgrade...??
SAM, Download that file and flash it using Odin one package oprion. THen download S5570DDKC1 (for Indian Froyo) and again flash it using Odin same procedure as above just the firmware will be diffrent.. You will have Froyo on your device at the end of this hassle. As always, Disclaimer -Do it at your own risk- applies.
ReplyDeleteYou can download Original Samsung Firmwares from:
http://www.sammobile.com/showthread.php?t=30
i m not so confident yet, i will try it from laptop becoz power cuts are often in punjab :)
ReplyDeletehey yagya!!!
ReplyDeletewill any password be required for ASIAN region GB version???
thnks yagya...i have successfully updated my phone to gingerbread 2.3.4
ReplyDeleteu rock dude
hey yagya...i have updated from froyo to gingerbread, but there are two problems that i have noticed:
ReplyDelete1)contacts
2) mic
what to do now...?
please reply
Ronak, the password is same (samfirmware.com) for all firmwares (from any region).
ReplyDeleteSAM, What problems with contacts and MIC have you noticed? And, also which firmware did you flashed? Please, explain your error in detail.
during incoming & outgoing call only number is shown not their names which i have added in contacts,
ReplyDeletei have updates my galaxy pop from froyo 2.2.1 to GB 2.3.4
any solution?
also there is a new option in setting->software update.
ReplyDeleteshould i update there?
SAM, don't know how to solve your contacts problem.. there might be an option somewhere to show the name. I don't have GB so can't check it out. Try by youself for any luck...
ReplyDeleteNo, need to update from there. It does the same thing that you did manually or the Kies does. Software update option check for new updates and install them --you need to be on a good wifi connection for that. It is not needed for you since you use latest software/firmware.
I recommend that you flash any custom rom. They are better than stock roms and may have the contact problem solved. Read this:

so can u tell me wats the prob.????
and yes if u r online right now can u be wid me till i update??
plz can anyone tell me how to root the phone after upgraded to 2.3.4 ?
ReplyDeleteSAM, yes, the default language is set to Chinese but you can change it just by following easily recognizable icons (Gear, Locale (A inside white box) icon, and select first option and scroll till you see English). Yes, you can upgrade to 2.3.7. But, you need to know this is not a official Samsung update and you won't be able to use Kies after upgrading. Also, you are solely responsible for what happens to your device.
ReplyDeleteThe Game is not working because you need another one that is made/developed for Gingerbread. Here is the link for Need For Speed Shift for Gingerbread:
App: http://www.mediafire.com/?kkakd6t5o011h9x
Data: http://www.mediafire.com/?5xgk4tncc6khn0s
Password to download is iqbal244

@yagya sir
ReplyDeletecan u tell me how to root my phone after upgraded to 2.3.4.....i cannot root with SOC 1.9 can u tell how to root ?
Hemanth, Please read above article carefully.. IT has the link to article that will help you root your phone. It's at the end of article.
ReplyDeleteAnd, also so downgrade (change back to Froyo 2.2) you simply flash froyo rom for your region. You can download original Froyo Firmwares from sammobile.com. Also, if you are from india, I've posted the links few comments above, read through them. Also, downgrade at your own risk as some have reported that they bricked their phone while doing so, though there are some they succeeded too.
thankyou sir
ReplyDeletebut noneed of froyo since my problem is cleared (contacts issue cleared when resets)
but only thing is how to root phone after 2.3.4 ?
Ronak, Disable/Close Kies if it is not detected by Odin. You should always close Samsung Kies during Flashing Firmware..
ReplyDeleteHemanth, Read this to root Gingerbread 2.3.4:
ReplyDeletehttp://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-popmini.html
@yagya sir,
ReplyDeleteim done with my rooting
thanx a lot :)
Shri, You have soft bricked your phone. But, don't worry flashing a new Firmware should do the trick. Here's the deal:
ReplyDeletePower of your battery (long press power button or pull the battery)
Go to Download Mode (If you are unable to get to download mode, pull the battery out, press three button combo to go to download mode, then while pressing the buttons put the battery in, release the buttons once you go to download mode.)
Set up Odin carefully (I think this is where you did wrong. Follow steps from above properly.)
Once setuped connect your phone to PC via USB (You will see COM 5 or similar text if Odin detects your phone.)
If it detects your phone and everything is ready press Start button.
Wait min. 5 minutes, till Odin says PASS in big words.
Pull out your phone only after Odin says PASS.
You phone should boot up nicely.
Shri, Wiping Data in Recovery (Home + Power button) might solve your problem. If it doesn't I suggest you copy phone numbers to cell phone... Or maybe flashing a custom rom can solve the problem. Also, if you have time you can read the comments here, may have got solution to different queries that you might just feel like asking.
ReplyDeletehey thanks yagya.....i upgraded my phone to gingerbread. its working fine. i also read ur article on cyanogen mod. can i upgrade to it....if yes, then when and r there any bugs? pls let me know.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS AGAIN
@naveen, yes you can upgrade to cyanogen mod and that to right away. No, most bugs have been fixed and wifi, radio and gps are all working in cyanogen mod. But, some versions/revisions of cyanogenmod have bugs. If you want bug free try CM7* 01102011.zip (CM7 released on October 01). It is the one that I found most stable among other Cyanogen mod releases.
ReplyDeleteYes, you can upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.4 version but be careful with it...
ReplyDeleteYes, you can upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.4 version but be careful with it...
ReplyDeleteHey yagya,i recently bought a SGM and m a new one to these anroid flashing:).
ReplyDeleteMy phone version is:
PDA-S5570BUKD2
PHONE:S5570XXKB1
CSC:S5570VDRKD2
Still have a hesitation to upgrade Froyo to Gb.because i read an article on another web which says following...
{ Provider - S5570 Firmwares
Firmware / TASS.OPS / Android Version 2.2.1
*S5570BUKB1 ## [2011 February 5] CSC_EXT-VDFKA5
*S5570BUKB3 ## [2011 February 24] CSC_EXT-VDPKA5
*S5570BGKC3 ## [2011 March] CSC = XECKC2 }
So i suppose my SGM belongs to this provider firmware(not under Asia firmware).WILL I BE ABLE TO UPGRADE SUCCESSFULY UNDER ASIA F/W UPGRADE AS MENTIONED ABOVE.
plz reply.Thnx
Sorry 4 the anonymous thing.btw m dilon:)
i had already update gingerbread russian version but it doesnot support nepali fonts .Does this asian version supports nepali font
ReplyDeleteDilon, You must know if your device is carrier locked or not. If you got it from any carrier with a contract then your sim is locked and you won't be able to flash these firmwares. These are only for international(Sim unlocked) version of Galaxy Mini. If not don't try or you will brick your phone.
ReplyDeleteSagar Subedi, You will need to install a Arial Unicode MS.ttf font on your Android Device to be able to view Nepali fonts/characters on your Samsung Galaxy Pop. Read this to know how to do so:
