Latest firmware for samsung gt s5230. Firmware Samsung S5230

One of the main methods of flashing Samsung gt-s5230 firmware is flashing it through the MultiLoader program (preferably version 5.xx). Have you downloaded it? Amazing. Now let's download the firmware (firmware is the operating system of the phone) that you liked the most. Once you have downloaded it, unzip it to any location where it is convenient for you to work with the files. Now open the MultiLoader program and check the following items – FULL DOWNLOAD, BRCM2133, BOOT CHANGE, Amss, Rsrc1, Rsrc2, Factory FS. Press the BOOT button and go to where you unzipped your firmware, to the BOOTLOADER (or BOOTFILES) folder; in the Amss item, select the .bin file apps_compresset.bin.

Entering download mode

  • You must switch the phone to “Download” mode; to do this, you must hold down the volume, lock and on/off keys of the phone. The inscription “Download”, meaning switching to firmware mode, will be displayed on the phone screen only if you do as written in the article.
  • We connect your phone to the USB port on the computer (via a regular USB cable). Once the phone is identified in the program, you will no longer ask the question: how to flash Samsung s5230, but you can safely do it yourself. The message “com14 ready s5230” should pop up at the bottom of the dialog box. If this happens, click on the Download button and wait 2-3 minutes. After flashing the firmware, disconnect the USB cable, and then restart the phone several times. If your phone works in English after startup, don’t be alarmed. How to flash an s5230 phone is not a secret, so in order for the phone to work in Russian, you need to do “Preconfiguration”.

Preconfiguration and problems

To do this, dial the combination *#6984125*#, and enter the password in the window that appears - *#73561*#. Great. Now we select the country in which we live (in our case, “Russia”). The phone will reboot. Once it turns on, dial configuration *2767*3855# for a complete reset. Attention! All settings on your phone will be lost! In each version of the program, the firmware methods differ, but have the same principle. If you were unable to flash according to the previous instructions, try this. Download and run MultiLoader V5.60

At the top of the window, click on BRCM2133, select the BOOT CHANGE and FULL DOWNLOAD checkboxes. Press BOOT and select the folder with BOOTLOADER there, then click on AMSS, RSRS1, RSRS2 in turn and select (LOW), FACTORY FS. If you haven’t made a mistake anywhere, then we can connect the phone (a SIM card must be inserted and the mobile must be turned on), click on PORT SEARCH, the message DOWNLOAD should appear on the cell phone, then click DOWNLOAD and wait for the firmware to finish.

ALL FILES COMPLETE should appear in the upper right corner. The phone will reboot, now you can safely disconnect the cable from your computer. And all that remains is to do the “preconfiguration”, as shown in the 1st version of the firmware. List of the most popular firmware today:

  • S5230XEID6
  • S5230XEID7
  • S5230XEIE5
  • S5230XEIG1
  • S5230XEIG2
  • S5230XEIG4
  • S5230XEIG6
  • S5230XEII2
  • S5230XEII4
  • S5230WXEIL1
  • S5230MREIL2

It's not so hard to flash a phone as it is to understand the principle of flashing. If you did everything right, then hooray! I congratulate you, you have achieved your goal and fixed the problems of your Samsung; you won’t need any more flashing.

Preamble: if you don’t have very straight arms or bad luck, you can turn your blood friend into a piece of plastic that doesn’t react to your actions. You should also know that if you follow this instruction to the end, you will lose the manufacturer's warranty (if any). At the same time, you will lose all your phone settings (phone book, ringtone, etc.). And of course, in any case, you will be solely responsible for your actions.

We transfer the phone to boot mode: with the device turned off, press the buttons: “ Volume up” + “Camera” +”Inclusion" (If the device does not have a camera button, use the combination “ Volume up» + « Receive a call» + « Inclusion") If everything is done correctly, the following message should appear on the black screen: Download. If you fail to press three keys at once the first time, turn off the phone and try again.
5.Now go to Boss Level, connect the phone via cable to the computer, and in Multi Loader click “ Port Search". Your device should be identified in the first free line just below. If the phone is not detected, it means you have not installed its drivers on your computer. Re-read the “Preparation” section above.
6. All that remains is to press the button “ Download". The window on the right will come to life and inform you about what is happening there right now. In 5-10 minutes everything will be ready and the inscription will appear at the top right ALL FILES COMPLETE. Congratulations, this is practically a certificate that you are not a lamer. The phone will reboot itself, you can disconnect it from the computer.

That's all. In fact, everything is very simple and in 99% of cases there are no problems. Also know that it is almost impossible to completely kill the phone forever in this way. Specialists from the SC will always be able to restore the software part (I think you understand that this is clearly not worth abusing)

Before flashing the SAMSUNG GT-S5230, I will tell you a little about this device. I have come across only three varieties of GT-S5230 - the basic model, GT-S5230W - with a WI-FI module and GT-S5230 LaFleur (no comments here).

This cell phone was launched into the market as a workhorse with a budget touch screen. In its segment, this is one of the cheapest devices from Koreans (SAMSUNG) and quite popular (it is still on display at retailers). From the perspective of the average person, the phone is very easy to use, intuitive, and on average the battery lasts for two days of intensive use.

If this model is handled correctly and carefully, it will not be demolished, but sooner or later the touch panel will fail due to its cheapness. Although in fairness, it changes in five minutes and even a child can cope with this task, all you need is a cross-type screwdriver, a picker and straight hands growing from the right place. The quality of communication is at a decent level.

When using this app, there were no serious problems, only the quiet speaker was very annoying, the call could not always be heard, especially when the phone was in a jeans pocket. Once a software error occurred (BOOT crashed) due to which the app stopped loading, but this did not become a serious problem. So let's get started already.

ATTENTION!!! Before starting software updates, rooting, resetting settings and other manipulations with your own or, God forbid, someone else’s device HIGHLY RECOMMEND read this one. In short, you have been warned and don’t say later that this is the first time you’ve heard this.

What you need to flash SAMSUNG GT-S5230

Naturally the phone itself

The most important thing here is to check the system connector; if it is damaged, or traces of corrosion are visible (after liquid ingress - a very common case), or it is simply dirty (try cleaning it with a regular toothbrush), then most likely the phone will not be detected by the computer and it will not be possible to change the software. If the app does not show signs of life (does not respond to the power button, does not enter boot mode when the battery is charged), then you should not try to flash such a phone, since the reason for its inoperability is not in the software.

Charged battery

When flashing the firmware, the battery must be charged at least 50%; if the battery is discharged during the process, you can kill the app and its functionality cannot be restored without special equipment.

Drivers

In order for the phone to be identified in the OS, you need to install New PC Studio. When installing this product, all the necessary drivers will be installed, and with the help of New PC Studio you can save all the necessary information from your phone to your PC and back. You can download the latest version of this software completely free of charge from the official SAMSUNG website. Or try installing this one.

Cable

The necessary cable for changing the software is included with the phone itself.

Everything is intuitive, the interface is very friendly, there should be no problems.

Preparing the flash driver and phone for a software change

Since in this example I will try to flash the Samsung GT-S5230 LaFleur, I will use the appropriate firmware version, namely S523MREKE1_La_Fleur (the latest at the time of writing). Let's start setting up the flash driver.

Step 1: Run MultiLoader_v6.54_BCOM.exe

Step 2: Running application MultiLoader_v6.54_BCOM.exe

Step 3: Click the “Apps” button and select the apps_compressed.bin file from the folder with the S523MREKE1_La_Fleur firmware

Step 7: Check the “Full DownLoad” box and press the “Boot” button and select the BOOTFILES folder from the folder with the S523MREKE1_La_Fleur firmware

Step 8: In the “Control” panel at the top, select BRCM2133

Step 9: Now we need to enter the phone into “DOWNLOAD” mode. To do this, you need to hold down the following buttons in turn - “volume down button” + “back (center) button” + “power button”

Step 10: Now you can connect your phone to your PC with a cable. After this, DOWNLOADER will determine which port the device is using (in my case, com297 ready). Next, click the “Port Search” button to determine the model connected to the PC. Now you can click the “Download” button

Step 11: SAMSUNG GT-S5230 La Fleur software update process

Share:

So, why might this instruction be needed? With its help, you can easily install a more recent firmware version on your phone. Or you can find exactly the firmware that suits the specific theme you like.

What firmware do I have?

But before you get down to business, you should first find out what version is installed on your phone now. You can do this by typing the combination on the keyboard *#1234# . After entering it, the display will indicate the current firmware version of your device. Let's say this S5230XEII2. So far, this or any other combination of letters and numbers does not tell us anything, but figuring it out is not so difficult.

Something to remember in this code S5230XEII2 first signs S5230 indicate the phone model for which this firmware is intended.

Next comes after her XE- language pack, followed by the year of release of the firmware I. Converting a letter to a year is very simple W - 2003, D - 2004, E - 2005, F - 2006, G - 2007, H - 2008, I - 2009, J– 2010. This means that our firmware was released in 2009.

It is followed by another letter I, which indicates the month the firmware was released. It’s very easy to find out what month it is, just count what number this letter is in the English alphabet A= January, B= February... K= November, L= December. It follows that our firmware was released in September.

And the final digit indicates the firmware revision number.

So, armed with this information, you can easily figure out which firmware is the latest. Well, now let’s move on to the process of flashing your phone. But let us remind you that this removes the phone from warranty service and also deletes all existing information stored in the mobile phone.

What you need to flash Samsung Star firmware

Well, now the process itself. It is assumed that you have already downloaded the required firmware version (for example, S5230XEII4), but if not, you can find a list of them at the end of the instructions. You will also need a program MultiLoader_V5.XX. You can also find and download it at the end of the instructions. And, of course, there is a data cable through which everything will happen.

The Samsung s5230 firmware process itself

The phone does not have to be connected to the computer.

    1. First you launch the program MultiLoader_V5.XX on the computer and choose BRCM2133 (1) at the top of the window, then check the boxes Boot Change (2) And Full Download (3)
    Well, then you press the button Boot (4). In the window that opens you will have to specify the path to the folder BOOTFILES (5)(which is in the firmware you downloaded and unzipped). Having selected a folder, press OK (6).
    Then move on to the next button Apps (7) where you have to specify the path to the file that ends with .bin (8)(in our firmware this is the file apps_compressed.bin), and press Open (9).
    Then you press the button Rsrc1 (10) and specify the path to the file with the ending .rc1 (11)(in our firmware this is the file Rsrc_S5230_Open_Europe_Slav.rc1) and again Open (12).
    Now comes the button Rsrc2 (13), where you will have to specify the file …(low)..rc2 (14)(in our firmware this is Rsrc2_S5230(Low)_RU.rc2). Don't forget to click Open (15).
    And let's move on to the final button. Factory FS (16). In the window that opens, you specify the path to the file .ffs (17)(in our case this is the file FactoryFs_S5230_Open_Europe_Slav_RU.ffs) and Open (18).
    Well, we have already specified all the necessary files for the firmware, and now all that remains is to find the phone. To do this, you connect the switched-on phone with a SIM card to the cable and press Port Search (19). If the phone is not detected, you can repeat the press several times until you achieve the desired result.
    At the bottom of the program (20) one of the COM connections with the identified phone should appear (21) . You select it by clicking on the circle near the window Ready
    After that you press the button Download (22) and watch how the phone is flashed in the upper right corner of the program. If for some reason the process does not start and gives an error Warring: Security fail, you should switch the phone to flash mode by pressing the keys "Volume up + Camera + Power on"

Upon completion of the firmware it will be written in the program All files complete, and the phone will begin to reboot. It can now be disconnected from the cable. But that is not all.

Final stage

All that remains is to reconfigure it and completely reset it. How to do it? For firmware XEII4 We take the following steps. Call up the keyboard and enter the code *#6984125*# and in the window that opens select Pre-configuration and enter the code *#73561*# . Next, select one of the proposed countries in which the phone will work in the future.

After this, the mobile will restart again and you will only have to do a full reset. To do this you type the combination *2767*3855# . The phone will reboot again and is now completely ready for use.

For firmware MXEIL2 different code is used for reconfiguration. You need to dial *#5239870*# and select from the menu Pre-configuration and enter the code *#27236*# and select the country. After reconfiguration, we perform a full reset using the same scheme as above.

P.s. to reconfigure to an earlier firmware version use one of these admin menu codes *#27236*# (or *#6984125*# or *#5239870*# ). Select item Pre-configuration. Password - *#73561*# (or *#7092463*#) .
