If you are not happy with the stock android software that came with your Samsung handset and want to add more spices to it, then flashing becomes an inevitable part at one point of time. Also, being able to flash stock firmwares on a handset has it's own advantages. Apart from the fact that flashing is risky and can sometime lead to a bricked handset --if not done properly-- there are probably no cons of it. The pros include the ability to revive/recover a handset from the state of soft brick or from the screen of death, manually upgrade the firmware of your handset with the latest update available and fix almost all software related problems.
So, if you are an advance user messing with your handset now and again, then flashing is the best process you can familiarize yourself with. This has been possible and quite simple, thanks to the sites like samfirmware.com and/or sampro.pl on the web, as they provide Samsung smartphones users with required flashing tools (Odin and corresponding .pit or .ops file) as well as downloads for official stock firmwares.
However, not all handsets can be flashed and not all firmwares provided at these site can be used directly with Odin firmware flashing tool. The 'i' models of various galaxy series such as Galaxy Mini/Pop GT-S5570i (aka. Pop Plus, Mini Plus, Next Turbo and other common names around the world), Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i (aka Ace Plus) as well as Galaxy Young S5630 smartphones users seem to have problem flashing firmwares from samfirmware.com directly using Odin. This is where Odinatrix steps in and saves your day :D
Thanks to an ACervellati and Doc_cheilvenerdi.org for creating and sharing this awesome tool/script that takes the firmwares provided by samfirmware.com and then convert it into Odin flashable firmwares files. Like SplitFUS2 tool, Odinatrix also splits the given one package firmware into multiple .tar files that can be then used to flash your phone. However, they are different from one another: Odinatrix is for Windows while SplitFUS2 is especially for Linux. Though the latter can be operated in windows PC with the help of Cygwin, it is quite difficult and tedious process to setup everything for beginners and this is where Odinatrix wins the game. So, I recommend using Odinatrix to prepare Odin flashable files from the firmware you download from samfirmware or other similar sites.
Another advantage of Odinatrix is that it seems to support a wide range of samsung devices. It supports splitting of firmwares for Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i model, Galaxy Pop/Mini GT-S5570i model as well as for Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5630 model. With this tool, you can split a single .tar or .tar.md5 firmware file into multiple .tar files which afterwards can be used for CSC, PHONE and PDA fields in Odin Multidownloader tool to flash your handset with official firmware.
Well, now that odinatrix has successfully processed your firmware archive and sanitized it, you are ready to flash your handset with stock samsung firmware. If you go to the output folder within Odinatrix directory, you should see four files (see image aside), one a full package .tar.md5 file and remaining .tar files each for using as PDA, PHONE and CSC in your respective version of Odin tool while flashing.
So, you are now ready to flash official samsung firmware on your galaxy series of smartphone. Just get the version of Odin that is suitable for (or supported by) your smart phone and then run it on your PC and :

Is Odinatrix really useful? How do I get started?
By now you are probably excited about Odinatrix especially if you own one of those handsets that I mentioned above. So, without any delay, I'll detail the step by step instructions on using Odinatrix to get all those files that are required to flash your Samsung galaxy handset.
- Download Odinatrix and then extract it on your Desktop or on any place you prefer.
File Name: Odinatrix-WINDOWS.zip
File Size: 3.16 MB - Now download the firmware for your device released for your region from samfirmware.com or other similar sites.
- Once you get the firmware zip, extract it and you'll get a .tar.md5 or .tar file on your PC.
- Copy this file inside the Odinatrix directory that was created while extracting the Odinatrix tool in Step 1.
- When everything is set, open/double-click the runme.bat executable file.
- You'll be presented with a command window with few instructions. Make sure you read the whole of the information and meet all the requirements.
- When you are ready, press enter key and it will look for the firmware file in the directory it is currently in. So, if you haven't yet copied the .tar or .tar.md5 file to this directory then do so now and try again.
- If Odinatrix finds a firmware, then it'll list it in the command window and ask you to press any key to proceed.
- Press Enter key and it'll examine if the firmware has a deformed header or not. That is, if it can be flashed directly using Odin or not. If it has good tar header or if it can be flashed via Odin then, it will say so and exit the process. Else, it'll begin the process of splitting the firmware (.tar.md5) file into multiples .tar files files as well as create a single .tar.md5 file having good header, which is what the developers refer to as sanitizing of archives.
- The process will take long time (about 30-60 minutes), so you'll need to wait patiently.
- When done, it'll show the following result (as seen in the image below) and you'll get three .tar files and one .tar.md5 file in the output folder within your Odinatrix directory.
 |
| Confirm TAR Processing Prompt - Press Enter to continue. |
 |
| Odinatrix Processing Completed information with exit prompt. |
Odinatrix is done with the task. So, what next?
 |
| Odinatrix Final Output after sanitization of firmware is completed |
So, you are now ready to flash official samsung firmware on your galaxy series of smartphone. Just get the version of Odin that is suitable for (or supported by) your smart phone and then run it on your PC and :
- Load respective .ops/.pit file on OPS/PIT field.
- Load PDA_SXY_SXZ_SXY_HOME.tar file outputted by Odinatrix in PDA field.
- Load MODEM_SXY_SXZ_SXY_HOME.tar file in PHONE field.
- Load CSC_SXY_SXZ_SXY_HOME.tar file in CSC field.
Where, X= 4 or 5 digit Model Number
Y= 5 digits PDA Version
Z= 5 digits CSC Version
Example : X=5570I , Y=DDLD2, Z=DDLD2 - When everything is ready, connect your phone in download mode to your PC.
- Press Start button after odin recognizes your device.
- Wait for few minutes (about 5-6 mins) till the firmware is downloaded and installed on your smartphone.
- When Odin says PASS in upper left box (within Odin) you may disconnect your handset from your Personal Computer and enjoy using latest firmware on your device.

Samsung Galaxy Pop Plus GT-S5570i (aka Galaxy Next Turbo and Galaxy Mini Plus in different parts of the world) is quite different handset in terms of hardware architecture; though it sounds similar to Samsung Galaxy Pop or Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 smart phone and comes with same Android operating system loaded in it. So, one should be careful not to mistake the former with the later one while in the course of flashing or modding their pop plus gt-s5570i smart phone.
Whether you have soft bricked your handset and want to recover from that stage or want to manually upgrade you handset with latest android software, you'll have to come across with flashing. Flashing is the process of loading or installing firmwares, roms, update zips, etc. on your handset. This article will, with the help of step by step instructions, guide you on manually loading official Samsung firmwares on your Pop Plus GT-S5570i smartphone. It is recommended that you go through the whole article carefully first before trying the actual procedure.

This article will, with the help of step by step instructions, guide you on manually loading official Samsung firmwares on your Pop Plus GT-S5570i smartphone. It is recommended that you go through the whole article carefully first before trying the actual procedure.
Ok! I got the details. So, what do I have to do next?
Before we can install stock Samsung firmware on your galaxy pop plus gt-s5570i, we need few prerequisites which are listed below along with their respective download links. Make sure you've all these in your hand before you proceed to next stage.
- Odin Multidownloader v1.84: Odin tool is used to flash firmwares on Samsung handsets manually. However, there are different versions of Odin tools for different group of handsets and not all Samsung handsets can be flashed with the help of Odin. You can find more information about Odin at this article.
File Name: Odin Multidownloader 3 v1.84 For GT-S5570I.rar
File Size: 664 KB
Contents: Odin3_v1.84.exe and tassve_0623.pit - Latest Samsung USB Drivers: These are drivers required for effective communication of your handset with your PC. If you have Samsung Kies installed or have the drivers installed already then, you don't need them.
File Name: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
File Size: 23 MB
Software Version: 1.5.4.0 - Official Stock Firmware: This is the firmware that you'll be using to flash your pop plus s5570i handset. You can get official firmwares from samfirmware.com.
However, please note that firmwares provided at samfirmware for this device can't be used directly with this version of Odin. So, you'll need to use a tool called Odinatrix to decompress those firmware and get Odin flashable files. Please go through the article titled, "How to use Odinatrix to split one package firmware into multiple tar files?", for more details on how to use this tool and get Odin ready files for the firmware of your region.
In this article, however, I'm going to use a JPLC1 firmware for Middle East region.File Name: StockROM+Odin S5570I.7z
File Size: 111.94 MB
Firmware Details :
PDA: S5570IJPLC1
CSC: S5570IOJPLC1
Version: 2.3.6
Date: 2012-03-05
Region: Middle East
I've got the required files. Anything more?
Now, that you've got all required files on your handset, you are ready to proceed with the flashing instructions. Just be sure that you install the drivers on your personal computer and reboot it once before trying out the whole procedure. Also, be sure to read these simple precautions and then proceed accordingly with the flashing instructions provided above.
Instructions on Flashing Firmware
- Make sure you extract all the downloaded files with the help of WinZip, Winrar or other similar archive manager program.
It is recommended to keep the extracted files in a organized folder for easier access later on during the flashing process. - Run the Odin3_v1.84.exe application (you should get a window similar to below).
Odin3 for Galaxy mini/pop GT-S5570i - Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time under Option area.
- Click on PIT button and browse to the folder where you extracted the files and load tassve_0623.pit on it.
- Click on BOOTLOADER button and then load DefaultCalDataWithBoot_S5570XXXX_REV03.tar.md5 file on it.
- Click on PDA button and load the .tar file with PDA on it's name (PDA_S5570IJPLC1_REV03.tar on our example).
- Click on PHONE button and load the .tar file with MODEM in it's name (eg: MODEM_S5570IXXLC3_REV03.tar.md5)
- Click on CSC button and load the .tar or .tar.md5 file with CSC / CSC-MULTI in it (eg: CSC : GT-S5570I-MULTI-CSC-OJPLC1.tar.md5).
- Now, that you've configured Odin properly, Power Off your Galaxy Mini/Pop Plus GT-S5570i handset.
- Boot up your device in Download Mode. Press Volume Down + Home (Middle button) + Power button simultaneously for few seconds to boot to download mode.
- When your phone is in download mode (a screen with Yellow Triangle and Downloading written on it), connect your phone to your PC.
- If Odin detects your phone it should says something like 0:[COM4] in one of the boxes on the ID:COM area just above the Options. Then is your turn to press the Start button.
- Wait for about 5 to 6 minutes till Odin downloads the firmware files on your handset and installs them on respective partitions on your device.
- After few minutes of patience, you should see PASS written at the top left box. You can then disconnect your galaxy pop/mini plus gt-s5570i from your PC.
Notes:
Below are few things that you need to keep in mind before flashing the rom.- You'll not get BOOT file while using Odinatrix to prepare Odin ready files. In that case, you'll have to leave the BOOTLOADER field empty and just load other remaining files.
- If you are stuck at Samsung logo after flashing the firmware then, you'll need to go to recovery and wipe data and cache and reboot your handset.
- Be calm during the whole process. Don't rush up (if something unexpected happens) and do something wrong which may worsen the situation.

Question
My Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 comes with following details :Android Froyo 2.2.1 COMPILATION : FROYO.XWKAC KERNEL : 2.6.32.9-PERF ROOT@DELL91 #1 *#1234# INFO : PDA: S5570XWKAC PHONE: S5570XXKA5 CSC : S5570TMNKB1
Now, I've decided to go for a custom Rom instead (cyanogenmod) because my device is lacking support from my carrier/provider (TMN). So, I need advice/help with following queries. I'd appreciate if you can help me with all this.
- Shall I install CWM recovery for froyo and backup or just update the rom by flashing custom one?
- As I'm aware it's not possible to backup a stock ROM (even with Odin) ??!! Isn’t that true?
- But can I use Titanium to backup apps and stuff from stock rom?? Is this in anyway useful?
- Can I flash or update a custom rom like cyanogenmod directly over Froyo or shall I first flash GB stock rom with Odin?
- Also, in your opinion which is the best stable custom rom to use/flash in my GT-S5570 that supports Portuguese language?
- Which version of clockwork mod (CWM) recovery is best to use?
Reply
Thank you for submitting your query to us. I see you still are left with Android 2.2 Froyo, while official Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmwares are already available for many regions. Also, it would have helped me if you told me from which country of region you are. But, let it go now for now.So, let me start by replying to your queries. I would not recommend installing clockwork mod recovery for froyo and then doing a backup. At first it's not possible to take backup of stock firmwares like Froyo or Gingerbread. Also, most custom roms require you to have Gingerbread as a base firmware on your handset, before they can be installed on your galaxy mini. So, the first thing you'd do is upgrade your firmware to latest GB version.
The GB firmware I recommend for you can be downloaded from below. It's a the latest Android v2.3.6 firmware and should work fine on your phone. Using the firmware from below and following instructions at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/08/upgrade-samsung-galaxy-popmini-gts5570.html (these are instructions to flash galaxy mini using Odin but for other firmware. However, you can follow the same steps to upgrade your handset with the firmware listed below.
Firmware : S5570XWKTN
File Name : GT-S5570_S5570XWKTN_S5570OXXKTB_S5570XWKT6.rar
Android : 2.3.6
Download : Mirror
And, yes as I said above, you can't backup any firmware with Odin. It's custom recovery that is used to backup roms/system.
Titanium backup is one of the mostly used application, that can help you backup games and applications on your android smartphone. However, you can't backup call logs, contacts, sms, etc. using this app. One way (the simple one) to backup these things is to sync your handset with a powerful phone management app called MyPhoneExplorer. I've detailed more about this software at this article. However, you can also look for other apps at Play Store that can save/backup your calls, contacts, APNs, etc.
Most of your queries seem to be related. Anyway, as mentioned above, you can't install cyanogenmod or other custom roms like emanoN, minisense, etc. on Froyo. These custom rom require that you have gingerbread boot-loader installed on your handset. For this you'll need to upgrade your Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 to Gingerbread firmware using Odin. Follow details mentioned above.
Again, I'm not sure about languages, however, latest official cyanogenmod 7.2 stable should support Portuguese and should also run fast and smooth. I suggest you to try this rom first. If you don't like it want something more then, you can search for other custom roms at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com [I've got screenshots, and details there, it shouldn't be difficult for you to choose one.]
I'd recommend to use clockwork mod recovery v4.0.0.5 for those who are flashing any roms for the first time. Because many have faced issues while flashing via latest clock work mod recovery. However, later you can upgrade your clockwork mod recovery to latest v5.0.2.6 version if you want.
That's all with your problems/doubts. I hope everything is clear now. However, if you have any further questions then, please post a comment below and I shall reply to your queries.

Question :
Sir I need to overclock my galaxy mini to 825mhz. Can you tell me from where will i get PDA file for my galaxy mini? Android Version : 2.3.6 Baseband Version : S5570DDKQ7 Kernal Version : 2.6.35.7.
Please help me.
Solution :
I don't think flashing PDA can help you overclock. What you need instead is either overclock kernel for your stock firmware or custom kernel that can be overclocked. Since the former one is not available for your firmware; I suggest you flash any of the custom roms available at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Flashing%20Custom%20Roms and you can easily overclock using No Frills CPU Control or similar app or if you install Cyanogen you will even be able to overclock from within CyanogenMod Settings.
If you have trouble selecting custom rom then emanoN v5 and CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 or RC5.7 are very good ones. Give them a try. I am sure you will like them as well as your problem will be solved too.
Question :
If I install a custom rom then will I be able to overclock my galaxy mini upto 825mhz?
Reply :
Yes, custom roms support overclocking up to 853 MHz (and above it too). However, it depends upon your device how much frequency it can handle. For example : My device can't handle more than 753 Mhz while there are examples of successful overclocking upto 853+ MHz too. But, since you can overclock it's worth a try. I suggest using CyanongenMod.

Question :
I really want my phone back to original rom. I have a samsung galaxy ace original firmware was gingerbread 2.3.6 eerm S580DXKT5. I changed to cm 7 but had major issues with camera & WiFi app problems. I had no pc so couldn't use Odin but was told ics stock v.2 works well which I could flash via just phone like I did for cm 7so I am using that now which was fine until phone battery died and since then the launcher fcs you tube wont work or update and that happens with most the preinstalled apps.
Soooo, I just want to get my phone bk to original state. Can you help . This site confuses hell out of me . So far I've downloaded odin to my phone that's it. Can you tell me what I do now? What i need to download or were from.
Reply :
I undertsood your problem and a very simple solution is to download and flash the DXKT5 firmware using Odin.
But, I also noticed, you don't have a PC. Well, I recommend you search for one (from your friends) and then follow the procedure posted here http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html
However, if you are really in a situation as not to get a PC then I suggest you wipe data and cache in recovery and it should be fixed all force close problem (but you will lose all your apps and settings). However, if you are not satisfied with the rom and want to completely go back to stock rom, then there's an app called mobile Odin (you can get it in market) which let's you flash official firmware from within a device. Though I am not sure if it works well on Galaxy Ace or not, but most probably it does and you can flash DXKT5 firmware using it from within the device. However, follow this as the last resort and at your own risk. I'm sure you will be able to find more info about mobile Odin at the market description.
