How to update the Samsung Galaxy Spica to Android 2.1

As we mentioned a few days ago, it is now possible update Samsung Galaxy Spica to Android 2.1 With which it gains many interesting things and completely changes the current face of Android. A web reader has carried out the update and has made us a small manual on how to update this device and the problems that he has found as well as how to solve them.

Thanks Obi_alm. Here you have the steps that he has followed.

NOTE: Updated from Windows XP and with free mobile imported from France (I don't know if the latter will influence, and then I have updated because the update has already arrived in France ...)

Instructions:

0. Save what interests you (the internal memory will be formatted, losing apps, etc). If the contacts, etc., you have them synchronized with a Google account, then no problem. I recommend you make a list of the apps that you had installed.

1. Download and install New PC Studio 1.3 from the Samsung Mobile Spain website. I read that it is recommended to uninstall other versions and drivers if you already have them (it has not been my case).

2. Put the mobile in USB Debug mode so that it recognizes the device: Settings -Applications-Development -USB debugging.

3. Start PC Studio and connect the mobile.

4. After recognizing the mobile, click on "Updates" (perhaps I will notify you shortly after connecting that there is an update available).

5. We go to the device update tab. We select our device, GT-i5700.

6. Now it will check for update. Once found, you accept.

7. If you found it, then you can proceed with the installation. Follow the process and after a few steps (the download is very slow: S), you will have your mobile updated 😀

Problems I have encountered:

* Failure to install the update: It happened to me the first time, and it told me that it will use the recovery because probably the mobile would have been wrong. It was not necessary, because the mobile continued to work with the previous version. What I did was do a hard reset (factory restore) from the mobile and the update already worked.

* There is no network connection in NPS: This appears in New PC Studio when looking for updates for the mobile. It came out to me trying several times, the third time.

* MainNPS crash when starting New PC Studio: I reinstalled, and voilà.

* It does not notify me that there is a new update: Although the message does not appear, the important thing is that it appears in the update window.

Final notes:

* Version installed according to "About": 2.1-update1 (An upgraded or special version from Samsung?)

* Enjoying it a lot. What a difference from 1.5! 😉

Greetings, and see if you get it 🙂

    Well, it will be that you have been updated for being frank for being free, because to me, with my yoigo spica, I cannot find any update. "Your mobile is up to date", with 1.5.

    I really wanted to taste 2.1, I think I'm going to go for cyanogen, I'm tired of waiting 😉

  2.   jomimube said

    Excellent, I have it installed on an HTC Diamond and it runs wonderfully, of course with limitations, but you can see the potential of this software. A question..? Because they do not show the operation of the GPS, soon I will buy one and in no blog I see the operation of the GPS, only on YouTube there are about 2 videos but no more…. It is not important or just me, am I interested in that function ...?

    Thank you

  3.   Chuy said

    Here in Spain it has not yet come out, that is because it had a French mobile, that there is an update to 2.1. Here we are still waiting for May to see if it comes out, and that those of Orange have no problems updating that will be another story.

  4.   Urash1ma said

    And that they update the Galaxy Spica also includes the Galaxy terminals? Or are we left adrift like always? Because man ... what a fabric they are doing to us users of the Galaxy i7500 ...

  5.   carillan said

    Hello
    The PC Studio does not even recognize my mobile ... It tells me that the device cannot be identified correctly. I have the drivers installed by the same PC Studio from the Samsung website. I have sight. It doesn't even read my memory card. Any advice?
    byeee

  6.   orlandoso said

    Pos to me it tells me a connection error and if not there is a model to update in the end we will continue waiting and I should have that the first of May would not be

  7.   Sanxx! said

    Let us know when possible please!

  8.   sylvite said

    For me it is a mobile hoax ... I've been with it for less than 1 week and it makes me want to return it to orange ... I get bluetooh failure I have already read on some sites that it is an android problem, I have no options to be able to send files to Through the bluetohh ... I do not find out when messages arrive since it does not let me change the melody only the ones that come by default in the terminal, the battery lasts 1 day and that I have most of the things deactivated so I do not consume so much ... anyway ... my husband has the jet and you have more functions and it has not given him a single problem ... even the battery lasts longer. I'm waiting for the update by samsung to android 2.1 ... I hope it goes well if not what a terminal scam by samsung. Greetings!

  9.   Bitches said

    Good,

    I also have the terminal imported from France and the update appears, but I cannot update because in the download step it appears all the time: «Error in communication with the server. The download has stopped. " and no matter how much I give it to retry, it can't connect (I've been testing every 3 min or so for more than 5 hours and there's no way I can download).

    I'll tell you if I can update it. Greetings.

  10.   Matias said

    already install pc studio. 1.3 but I do not take my cell phone and I sincerely try in a thousand ways and I do not know how to do it ... I have it new again, I bought it less than a month ago and I am very interested ... it would be good if you can communicate with me ... thank you. . see you later

  11.   data grid said

    here a good explanation

  12.   Caesar said

    Good,

    In the end I got it, I looked on the Samsung Mobile page in France and I saw a version of PCStudio that was 1.4 instead of the 1.3 that there is in the Spanish (My terminal is free imported from France, with the Spanish I imagine it would not work ).

    The update with PCStudio 1.4 was done the first time and without any connection problem or failure.

    As the phone changes with version 2,1, I love the new version although I still have a lot to discover.

    Greetings.

  13.   sylvite said

    With version 2.4 the bluetooh already works for you ??? because it is ready with version 1.5. Does anyone know how to install the radio or in the new version it is coming? Greetings

  14.   Geek said

    you are hanging paba xD

  15.   Sanxx! said

    I have Yoigo's mobile and I have tried everything, I have downloaded the version of New PC Studios French, which is 1.5. Still there is no way ... is it because my phone is Spanish? Any ideas? It tells me that there are no updates available for my terminal ... but it detects it and everything is fine!

    Thank you

  16.   sylvite said

    What is hanging is x me ??? xk if so, what a way of disrespecting people ... no ???

  17.   I fig tree said

    I have had this mobile with Yoigo for about 2 or 3 weeks, trying to update it every day in the normal way, and there is no way. I use PcStudio 1.3, and the mobile recognizes it but cannot find an update.

    In the end I installed android 2.1 using Odin (there are several tutorials on the internet) and although at first I did not dare and wanted to wait, I am very glad I did. The mobile is much better in all aspects, it is amazing.

    A note: just installed 2.1 gave me the impression that scrolling through the desks had a small delay, something that did not happen to me with 1.5, worse installing the Launcher Pro Beta, from the market, it goes much much better still, it I recommend 100%.

    Regarding Bluetooth, I also had problems sharing files with other devices, after researching a little on the matter, I discovered that it is expressly done like this, it is not a fault, you can only use bluetooth for audio (example: hands car free). However, and here comes the interesting thing, there are programs in the Market, which enable the operation of BlueTooth for the transfer of files, yes, you have to have android 2.0 or 2.1 at least.

    Greetings everyone 🙂

    TOTAL SCAM

    This is the email I received from Samsung when asking about the update to android 2.1:

    Good morning Sweet,

    We inform you that in Spain, there is no Official update from 1.5 to 2.1 for this terminal.
    At this time there is no information, regarding the term, to be able to provide you.

    Best regards

    Had I known, I would NOT have bought the phone!

  19.   jomimube said

    In Colombia a small company gave in «Promocion» the Samsun Galaxy Spica with version 1.5 and there was no way to install the new version. I found this tutorial and voila, it updated without problem. Just make it up to the update, don't apply the rest of the tutorial. The author of the tutorial specifies that it is for Samsung with firmware i5700L or GL-i5700L. Before updating, it is a good idea to write down all the APN data.

    The page is:

    Good luck and we will wait for 2.2

  20.   Juan said

    I need you to send me the pc studio 1.3 or 1.4 to my email please, it is that here in Argentina it is the perfect place for this kind of scam, so I suspect since it is not the cell phone by predilection, it is not appropriate for these garcas to invest in updates for spica users, my email is jdhdanes@gmail.com, in hotmail it is the same user id jdhdanes, and yahoo is punkrock970@yahoo.com.ar Thanks to all of you, gentlemen, users of this forum.

  21.   alexfigueres said

    update with Odin, is the only way at the moment. In addition, it is worth updating and, as Higuero says, install the launcher!

  22.   dozz said

    I liked the presentation, especially that it is an android presentation with the windows phone logo in the background .. hehehe

  23.   alexfigueres said

    Hello, can someone tell me how to configure the phone so that the applications are saved directly on the sd when you download from the market and install them?

  24.   Suspended said

    It seems that soon they would allow the update to 2.1 in Spain. I wrote to them interested in the Spica 2.1 update and this was their reply:

    Good afternoon XXX:

    You can check in a few days to update it, you have to enter http://www.samsungmobile.es In the support section> firmware update> follow the steps to update it.

    Greetings to all (I am an Android user for fifteen days and therefore new to this blog)

    I wrote to Samgung and they confirm that they already have the update available:

    Good Morning,,

    I inform you that the update on the web is already available.

      do you have a spica? Have you downloaded the update from the Spain page?

  26.   Sanxx! said

    Someone confirm us please !!!!

  27.   J said

    To me in NPS, having 1.5, it tells me that there is no higher version. We are still waiting, nothing from 2.1 yet 🙁

  28.   Viktor said

    Apparently from what I see pulling google, they have put the update and it works only for free phones. Those of us who have the phone with Yoigo, Orange ... nothing at all. And from Samsung, they give long saying that there are incidents with some terminals. And from Yoigo they say that they do not get their hands on the software ... but apparently, if you have a subsidized terminal, at least for now there is no update to 2.1

  29.   Sanxx! said

    It would be a shame if they left us stranded with 1.5, of course.
    I have a Yoigo phone uploaded, see if we put pressure or something ...

  30.   Sweet said

    Has anyone tried "resetting" the phone? So that it goes back to the factory settings and not Orange / Yoigo / etc?

  31.   Jonas said

    I'm not going to try the reset and update it, because with that I lose the warranty ... and for that, I risk flashing it. I want version 2.1 and without losing the warranty ... and Samsung should provide it and not throw balls out.

  32.   kondemor007 said

    Regards,

    The truth is that I wrote without testing it. I simply believed the Samsung version and I found it interesting to comment on it.

    Of course, if you say it doesn't work with Yoigo's subsidized mobiles, I'm not going to try it, at least until I get to know the Android OS better.

  33.   Hulk said

    Greetings.

    How long does it usually take for samsungs to answer your ridiculous tech support questionnaire?

  34.   paqkr said

    Connect your Spicas to the PC that the official update has already arrived, at least in Yoigo. ^ _ ^

  35.   J said

    Right, paqkr !!!!

    2.1 on my Spica with Yoigo, working 🙂

  36.   gonzaloadrio said

    I was caught in step 3 of the update, did it take you a long time?

  37.   gonzaloadrio said

    I think I'm going to try it in xp because in sight I am caught

  38.   gonzaloadrio said

    Well finally I already have version 2.1 I recommend that you do the update in win xp because in my view it gave me problems, come on, it does not iva in xp however I have not had any problem, so I encourage you to do it, it is really worth the pain

    Greetings to all holders of a spica and to all of androidsis

  39.   paqkr said

    How does it work for you? I already have several hangs, but to remove the battery. In 1.5 it had not happened to me. Of course, it has considerable improvements

  40.   J said

    paqkr: It works perfectly for me, without a crash. It goes very fluid, much faster, it looks like another mobile.

  41.   gonzaloadrio said

    Well, if today I was giving it all afternoon and nothing or a failure is perfect for me as J says, it seems another mobile is going much more fluid so now I recommend it to everyone since it is a very affordable mobile and with very great Posibilades also yoigo has really low prices

  42.   nomore said

    The first time it gave me an error when updating and then it already updated well. But sometimes something slower hangs on me. For example, the task killer sometimes hangs up my mobile and in 1.5 I was perfect. On the other hand, the keyboard in 2.1 is better

  43.   Sanxx! said

    Except for some specific slowdowns with the LauncherPro it is better than before and the keyboard is scandalous.

    Cheer up!

  44.   gonzaloadrio said

    is that there are some task killers that close the phantom process (samsung custom menu) so it is like closing the explorer in windows and the phone has to restart it so it seems that it hangs

  45.   nomore said

    Yes Yes. I already solved it by putting in the task list to ignore the phantom that.
    Anyway, thanks for your answer.

  46.   yery said

    With a new spica it is impossible for me to update. In W7 the device does not recognize me, and in XP the NPS 1.3 and 1.4 downloaded both from the web recognize it but they tell me that it is not compatible with the program. Any ideas?

  47.   ali said

    It seems that I have been left hanging in step three, how long will the update take you? Thanks

    1.    the village said

      Hello, the same thing happened to me, three days hanging around it, and at the end of it by chance ...

      Well, I did it to a phone released from orange, and with the so windows media player with sp3.

      Now comes the pijada: do not forget to connect the USB
      SETTINGS-PHONE STATUS-ADDITIONAL SETTINGS, AND DISABLE THE OPTION USE USB ONLY AS MASS STORAGE, from there on the first try.

      Luck (although I think you won't need it)
      I hope I have helped you and everyone who happens the same.

  48.   Sanxx! said

    Update takes seconds

  49.   gonzaloadrio said

    As long as you do the update in xp it is best that you do it in a clean one installing the nps and the drivers from the cd that they give you with the mobile, do not forget to put the mobile in debug mode, to me in W7 and in W vista gave me failures

  50.   J said

    Will our Spica ever get upgraded to 2.2?

  51.   yery said

    Any idea with the compatibility problem ...? : S

  52.   gonzaloadrio said

    With the non-compatibility you mean that it did not let you do certain things? or that it does not let you do anything because it is true that some functions are only compatible with certain terminals because that program is for all Samsungs, so I recommend that you do what I put a little before

  53.   putxi said

    I got the last week of de yoigo and it already tells me that the version is 2.1-update1 that means that I already have it installed ????? !!

  54.   batserra said

    Another with Orange Galaxy, and without being able to update ...
    Let's see if they get to work and take it out.
    Or if someone has a tutorial to do it for Orange to say so

  55.   zag said

    I also have Orange and it tells me that it is not compatible, nor does the update notification appear, I suppose we will have to wait. In other forums I have read that until September nothing, I hope that it is not like that and we will have it in summer!

  56.   oldlastman said

    please confirmation that yoigo people if you can update the phone because i from xp:

    + the nps 1.3 1.4 recognizes the update but it stops and you have to remove the battery to recover it and after repeating it several times nothing.
    + the kie does not recognize my phone.

    I'm flying with yoigo and samsung any idea (I don't even want to have to root it)

  57.   gonzaloadrio said

    oldlastman I am from yoigo and I assure you that if it can be updated obviously the fault will not be from yoigo in any case from samsung to me the same thing happened to you (exactly the same as except that it was in sight)

    If I remember correctly in one of the attempts, the NPS told me that I had to recover it and how surprised I was that suddenly I already had 2.1

    My advice is to try it on a pc that has nothing to do with it and that had never been plugged in and do it all from scratch and from the cd they gave you, or else try it on a computer where it had already been updated.

    by the way I recommend everyone that you install the launcher pro beta, the truth is much better than the samsung phantom, I was really pleasantly surprised.

  58.   julio17 said

    Hello I want to update my Samsung Galaxy Spica but the updates have not yet arrived in Argentina, they know if I can update it through the Samsung Spain page and how should I update it, please, someone who can help me since the Android 1.5 is bad, it does not help any good I hope your answers

  59.   pedropac said

    My experience: (Yoigger)
    After much trying and not getting anything, having errors in all parts of the process, I installed version 1.4 of PC Studio on a laptop with Vista (on a W7 it won't let you down) and that's when it let me update the first time.

    Several things to keep in mind:
    -Battery at 100% or almost.
    -The program as cleanly installed as possible. If you see that it gives by sack, reinstallation, renaming or deleting before the folder Samsung of «Archivmos of program».
    -The phone in Debug mode. Well, this tutor already says it.

    Luck!

    Hello everyone!! Today I got a galaxy spica and well I have been seeing some comments and I see that the other companies that are not orange already have it, I am from orange and I would like to see if the date on which the update will come out is already saved, because the It is true that version 2.1 is worth it. Thanks!

  68.   Hubert Carrera said

    I do all the procedure, but it tells me that there are no updates for my phone… help me….

  69.   Eduardo said

    Huberto will not be that you are also from Orange and the update for Orange is not available, but if your NPS does not tell you that there are updates for your phone, I do not know how you can search for them because I automatically skip the notification.

    By the way in the previous message that I wrote you I had problems installing the update because nothing calm everyone that is already solved and I already have my android updated is very good but hey I updated it mainly because of the bluethoot that had everything except the link with the parrot of the car, did not let me receive or send anything to other mobiles or computers but it is already solved.

  70.   juanmi said

    Hi, I'm from Orange and I tried 15 days ago and nothing, does anyone know or when they get an update for Orange?

    Note: please when you make a comment, say what company you are from, or if you are free so as not to confuse people. CANNOT UPDATE IN ORANGE AT THE TIME. SAMSUNG SPAIN SAYS THAT FOR THE MOMENT ONLY FREE TERMINALS. GO TIMO.

  71.   juanmi said

    ups

  72.   cake said

    Yoigger too and using version 1.5 of the new pc studio on a W7 and with a Samsung I5700

    What happens to me is that the update program runs normally until it reaches step 3 (update) where the phone restarts, leaving the word samsung on the screen indefinitely. After that I have to remove the battery so that it works again

    any ideas?

  73.   Juanmi said

    Please put operating company and if your terminal is free or not.

  74.   Emanuel said

    It is free, bought in Miami… .it is a Samsung i 7500… .and I use it for personal in Argentina… .I update it to the 1.6 donut but I would like to put the 2.1… ..because all the time it throws me errors… .thanks since now

  75.   Diego said

    Hello, I have the Spica with Orange since April. We are September 30 and I know nothing about the happy update to 2.1

    I don't even bother asking when he's going out. I would like to know if it is possible to update this phone manually (with Odin) even if it is not free.

    If anyone knows anything else for Orange please HELP

    All the best

  76.   zag said

    Orange confirmed this week the update of Hero to 2.1, and in August they said that they were working on the Galaxy Spica (via twitter) and that it was going to be very soon .. so we have to wait, I hope it does not go beyond October, if they have already gotten with the HTC and the Boston, we have to trust that Google will reach an agreement with Samsung .. we will have to put more pressure!

    All the best

  77.   Juanmi said

    Hopefully so, and before October orange has the spica update

  78.   yery said

    I'll wait a few more weeks because I also have some data on the phone. I do not feel like saving or losing them, and because it does not come to me now for 1 month. If there is not a fixed date for November, let it spread them and throw the odin.

    Of course, for the time being by the end of the tenure it is already a good negative point for orange.

  79.   rodrigo said

    I have the samsumg galaxy, I already updated it but now the 3G navigation does not work for me, how do I activate it, please have someone tell me how to do it, send me an email with the answer, I will thank you

  80.   Oscar said

    I updated from odin and no problem, about the 3 G I called orange that it did not work for me and they explained to me how to do it manually and no problem, it works correctly for me, call and have it configured for you, and you will tell me!

  81.   Diego said

    «I updated from odin and no problem»

    Explain in what conditions you updated with Odin please. Is the mobile free or not? If not, is it possible to update it regardless of the company (Orange, Yoigo, Vodafone ...)?

    Thank you.

  82.   yery said

    Yes, it is totally possible regardless of the company or if it is free.

    The reason why 3G did not work for you is because with Odin what you do is a reset of the mobile, and it also deletes the APNs that are already set. You just have to manually put the one of your operator (you will find it by googling a bit) and you will see that everything pulls perfectly.

  83.   Oscar said

    I have an orange spica, with the orange card it is not free and I lost the 3g I called orange and they solved it for me, what if I have seen in forums that it has to be at 100% battery when doing it with it odin .. But at the moment no problem !!

  84.   fupuat said

    good people. I have a galaxi 1.5. Is it known to update 2.0 or 2.1 in Argentina ?, Movistar company. who has information, share, since already thank you very much. fupuat@hotmail.com same in @gmail

    Hello, this is what they told me a few days ago from the Samsung website:

    Dear D. Diego:

    We respond to your query received in our Customer Service Center
    Customer, in relation to his SAMSUNG terminal.

    Possibly the update will be effective shortly, remember to try
    upgrade the terminal from a Windows XP operating system and download

    Is anything known about the upgrade to 2.1 in Orange spica? Is it already possible?

  91.   juan carlos said

    hello keria to know if anyone knows where I can update my galaxy to 2.1 I do not understand how I have to do if anyone knows I will thank you x please I'm going crazy thanks people

  92.   Jose said

    Hello everyone, today 11 12 2010 I have managed to update my galaxy spica from orange to 2.1 update1 through Nps it took me a bit since I had to leave it as factory, but it has made a very interesting change, it has changed the menu, the camera (now it has more options) and the terminal speed is higher.
    Another thing is that the music player has an equalizer.
    Anyway, I hope this comment serves as a warning, I forgot:
    My pc is with windows 7 32 bits and once you download the update it will tell you that the nps no longer works and that you have to download the kies.

    1.    Nuria said

      Good, I have done the same steps as you from a windows 7 and it tells me that there are no updates, it is necessary to do it from a windows XP as they say or not? I'm going crazy…

    2.    EDUARDO said

      Good morning friend, I would like to know if you could help me. I bought a Spica for my wife and I would like to give it a 2.1 update, I am from Venezuela, thank you for your attention.

      1.    Jose said

        Unfortunately a user below makes this comment:
        I have a spica from movistar Peru Samsung and he sent me a message saying that updates will not be released in Latin America for this terminal.
        So I am afraid that you will have to perform the updates with the Odin program

      2.    Jose said

        Here is a page where they explain it to you:

        Remember that it is a delicate process and that you have to read very well what you have to do to get it right.
        I hope it has been helpful and I feel that in your country and in all of Latin America they do not have that update, but if everything goes well you can put a better ROM in it than the one I have.
        Lucky friend

          Hello mate! We are close, I'm from the teques. Did you manage to update your samsung galaxy spica to android 2.1? I wait your answer; And if you did, it will be that you can give me a little help, brother, I'm going crazy with my phone in 1.5. Thanks! I await your response soon.

          1.    Moses said

            hey it's too easy with odin ... the only thing you have to do is find the page of venezuela android I do not have the link but by google you will find, well it served me super and the tutorial is easy I was afraid but everything went well !! fail ... !!! several times but it was for not being aware of the debugging mode ... the fifth was the charm and I updated it to froyo 2.2 but the best for me is v2.1 it is better if you plan to use froyo I recommend that you stay like this ....

        2.    yuliannit said

          Help, help me, what are the steps to follow? I can't update and I'm already crazy

  93.   Omar said

    Hello, I am in Colombia, I installed the PC Studio and connected the Spica, but when I update it it tells me that it already has the latest version, but it is a lie because in the firmware info it continues to say that it is 1.5, does anyone know what it can be? ?

    Thank you very much!

    1.    Jose said

      The operators do not update the contents for this mobile and that is why it is being updated in some places if and in others not, be patient it will arrive

  94.   Fernando said

    Hello, how am I trying to update my Samsung? The problem is that the update has started more than an hour ago and what happens is that it is on the screen to install update on the computer and the mobile with the Samsung logo on the screen. I think he is not doing anything but I am afraid to touch him, if someone sees him tell me something. Thanks

    1.    José said

      Some telephone companies have to adapt their contents to the new versions, so that some telephones are updated at different times

      1.    Jose said

        Sorry, the answer was for the previous one, for you is this one, the same thing happened to me, you have to put it in emergency recovery (press the volume button down + camera button + off button) and try again, If it still doesn't do anything (it happened to me) take out the battery and turn it on again in recovery mode, the program also turn it on again and try again, it was touching my morale for a couple of hours but in the end I put it to work, calm down, nothing breaks
        t

        1.    Luismen said

          Excellent help Jose, the 1st time I could not put it in emergency mode, it was shit, but I paid attention and took out the battery and turned it on in emergency mode and that's it

        2.    Luismen said

          José. At the end of the process I managed to put it in emergency mode but surprise that at the end it tells me that it could not be updated. I have done the process 3 times through emergency mode and nothing will I do?

  95.   xD_avid said

    My mobile is downloading ... almost an hour and it does nothing, what can I do? (I know this has already been commented, but I can't see the previous messages ...)

    1.    jose said

      You have to disconnect it and restart it in emergency mode: volume button down + camera button + shutdown button) and try again, if it still does not do anything you do the same operation again but also restart the pc and the program , it had me like this for a couple of hours until I did this and it worked for me, I hope it helps you

  96.   xD_avid said

    In Odin I don't see anything about the com port mappig, what do I have to do?!?!

  97.   jesus said

    Hello, when I connect the phone to the computer, kies does not recognize it, in fact it gives me a message that says "Kies does not support the device". What can I do about it?

    1.    Jose said

      It's updated? Kies only recognizes spica if they are version 2.1

  98.   jean said

    How are you all? I have the spica for movistar venezuela and I would like to know if the update to 2.1 already exists, thanks

Thanks a lot !

  102.   Oscar said

    Good evening friends, I am from Venezuela and my Samsung Galaxy belongs to Movistar, I want to take it to version 2.1 but in the agent they tell me that the manufacturer has not released that version, could I make this update that you indicate, without any problem? Thank you, I look forward to your help ...

    1.    angelinoox said

      Hello Oscar, if you can do it without any problem, I have already done it with several devices .. the question is with the guarantee of the equipment that if not or you carry with the original sofa it is not valid, I say it because I work with Movistar and I do it under that condition the new sof version with the different launchers or themes looks and works very well

  103.   gabriel said

    Hey, have a tremendous scare, because just when the update was finished, he sent me an error message that it could not be specified and asked me through a window to do the update in emergency mode or to go to an authorized Samsung agent, That is, the phone was blank, I went through emergency mode, which you have to disconnect the phone from the usb port and then press: volume (-) + the camera button + the power button, a message appears in black background on the phone, then I reconnected it to the usb port and there it was that I could perform the update, really tremendous scare that takes me !!!! thank god all good 🙂

  105.   briiancito said

    Good morning.
    I have the gt 5700L and installed the new pc studio, everything is fine, it recognizes the device, but it does not show the update.
    I hope prompt help

    regards

    1.    jose said

      Where are you from? I ask this because unfortunately those who live in Latin America will not receive the update officially, I am very afraid that if you are from that area you will have to fight with a program called Odin and samdroid roms (for example and that they are very good) You can search for everything by google where you can find the necessary programs and very well explained.
      Luck

  106.   Felix said

    good evening, friends, I bought you a samsung spica GT-5700 with the operator DIGITEL.

    I appreciate the help to: carlos2003_85@hotmail.com

    Hellooo!! I am trying to update my GT-I5700, I installed the NewPcStudo, it told me that an update was available, I gave it to update the firmware, it downloaded, everything fine but when I was installing the update it tells me that an error has occurred, I give it a way to emergency recovery with the keys VolumeLow, Camera and Power and I get a black background with an image of a memory card or chip and a message in blue that says do not turn off the phone in English, I have done it a thousand times and nothing And now my cell phone does not want to start, if I disconnect it and turn it on, I usually get an image of a cell phone, an exclamation point (!) and a computer.! I do not know what to do! I don't know if it has been damaged! Please respond urgently !!!

    My question is the following… is it possible to install WhatsApp on the Samsung Galaxy Spica, does it require an update or a new version of something? because I have tried several times from different sites and still cannot do it

    1.    ABB said

      The same happens to me. It seems that you have to update the phone to android 2.1. I am currently downloading Kies to try to update the firmware. If I get what it takes I'll let you know.

      1.    Karina Casas said

        I would appreciate it ... I had already thought about the update but I tried to do it as explained above and I get an error as explained by Mariangela in 2 comments above .. and I don't know how else to do it. !!

  118.   Antonino said

    the lives of venezuela do not become bitter, do it through the samsung.com.ve page

I'm lucky I saw it, and I get that it is at version 2.1 ... hahah menu is much better that it modifies everything for bein XD do not be fooled by there and they charge like 200bs for something so easy to update it and it is given to you by the samsung main page of your country ,,, luck xD

  136.   sacchiy said

    At first I downloaded the update and when the cell restarted it stayed in the start logo "Samsung" and as the PC STUDIO program screen said not to disconnect I left it like this for more than 2 hours at the end I got tired of waiting and take a chance. I disconnected it and connected it again and it gave me the 1st ERROR (Failure to install the update) I gave the window that appeared "restore" and I tried it again and in less than 10 min it was already updated! 😀

    1.    micaaaa said

      Can you help me please because with 1.3 it does not download it or does not recognize it, the cell phone says that it is not registered, and the 1.5 says that there is no updates, can you help me please I am going crazy

  137.   Global Technology Gl said

    The way I explain it is safe, they have to have the samsumg pc studio installed but not run it, close the supervision of this program and that it does not run when the phone is connected ……. everything else with the Odin Multi Downloader, with this the update will not take more than 5 minutes…. unites with Windows 7

  138.   mica said

    Please can you help me because it says that I have to download new pc studio 1.3 and it does not recognize it and in 1.5 it tells me that there are no updates, can you please help me?
