Samsung Galaxy PRO GT-B7510
RIP BlackBerry, Hello Android!
Since I have memory I always was a BlackBerry fanboy, I know the platform (dare I say) better than anyone. However let’s face it, Android is the future.
It’s because (and thanks to my old device is almost dead) I bought a new device: Samsung Galaxy PRO GT-B7510 and I have only one word: A W E S O M E
I will don’t a review, there are a lot of in the interlols, just a some tips and tricks that (I don’t know why) is very hard get information about this device.
TIPS & TRICKS
I.- Root the device
YES! it’s a very sweet stuff, we can (and must) root the android OS.

II.- Device modes
As I said there are a many differences between the other Galaxy models, I thinks is because the physical keyboard.
This shortcuts are very important for flash, hack, recover, upgrade and play with your phone. Press and hold the keys:
Recovery mode: Power + T
Download mode: Power + Q
System information: Power + W
ARM emergency mode: Power + E
RAM Dump: Power + R
III.- Hard reset
To reset and wipe your phone as new, be careful!
There are 2 ways for this
Mode 1:
-
* Turn off the phone.
* Turn on with he recovery mode (Power + T).
* In the recovery menu navigate to: wipe data/factory reset (with the volume key).
* Press Home button for confirm.
* In the next menu navigate to: Yes — delete all user data.
* Press Home button for confirm.
* Press Home button for reboot.
Mode 2:
Just type
*2767*3855#
IV .- Screenshots!
Everyone loves the screenshots, and they are useful for tutorials, examples, send reports, etc.
To take screenshots in this device without any third software:
Backspace + C
The images are stored in the external memory under the album “ScreenCapture”
And .. at the moment, that’s all.
I’m very interested to develop Android apps, so I hope soon I write my first post and app (at least a “Hello World”)
See you freaks!
I’m using the same phone and its excelllent.iv never used a pphone like this one in my all lif.
Ando muy tentado a entrar al mundo Android, ¿sabes si hay algún equipo o proyecto relacionado con Debian?, a mi entender solo esta pkg-fso que nada que ver con Android, pero ojalá existiera algo que los combine :-)
¿Que te motivó a dar el salto y porque ese modelo en particular?

P.D. Las chelas siguen pendientes xD

Yep it’s a great device, a little big I think, but is awesome!
@Fer
No he investigado a fondo pero estoy casi seguro que algo debe de haber por ahí.
Ya tenía mucho tiempo que quería probar (y comprobar) sí Android era tan asombrosos cómo todos decían y ahora que lo uso te puedo asegurar que todo lo que has leído/escuchado se queda corto, es una maravilla.
En lo personal ese modelo no me gustó tanto, pero nunca me han gustado los teléfonos “touch” y para que no sea tan “doloroso” el cambio elegí uno híbrido :)
Hay que ponernos de acuerdo para las chelas ¡saludos!
Muchas gracias por la respuesta, a ahorrar se ha dicho para entrar al mundo Android, mientras voy a buscar si existe algo en Debian.
Saludos ;-)

Hello,
I have a phone GT-B7510..
While connecting it to Kies , I got a notification that there is available firmware upgarde.
I did the required steps and things were going well, till the phone went a mode “Downloading” mode.
- Then I got a msg that the upgarde failed and I have to do an emergency recovery.
- I’m not able to access the recovery mode “Power+ T” , but I’m able to access other modes Download mode “Power + Q” , and emergency Dload mode “Power + E”.
Please advice..
thanks,
M Helmy
This phone is a piece of shit, I had to send it back to Samsung because of a Motherboard malfunction. They had to change it,now at the time i am writing ths message i have to send it back because of a unknow malfunction. To finish, when I say piece of shit, it means bad quality.
I am sorry , but the Police have and damned greater things to worry about than Nanny BBCTV. The BBC have always been the mouth-piece and propaganda machine of the Goverment, which ever colour they may be.
