[Tutorial] Easy way to update your Samsung Galaxy W to Android 5.0.2 a.k.a Lollipop


>LATEST<

Android 5.0 aka lollipop has recently landed on samsung galaxy w..
This is definitely a good news to samsung galaxy w(sgw) users.
In term of custom rom, sgw was known as ancora.
So it's up to you what you want to call them..


I know that some people want to upgrade their phone, but dont know how to do.
Although they googled the method, but dont understand especially the term used
in flashing the rom. Some websites did show the steps need to flash phone but didnt have the details..


Now, I want to share a way to update sgw to android lollipop the easiest way..
Perhap those who even dont have any knowledge in flashing rom also can do it
with this step by step tutorials.All you need are sgw phone, internet connection, a portion of your time and lastly your spirit of learn.


{used this tutorial with below video}




* make sure you disable fast boot and enable usb debugging.

Please backups
1.Backup all your file,contact and media file that you feel important..

>>> if your phone already root,you can skip (a) & (b) <<<

(a).Install sgw adb driver on computer before you proceed any further..
click here

(b).ATTENTION > your phone must be rooted first..to root your phone, visit below websites
                                                         click here

        g).   Kitkat version (I used this one as it is stable)
        h).   Jellybeans (those prefer jellybeans)
        i).  Original stock rom  (to revert back to original state)     
2.gapps - click here (lollipop)
                 click here (KitKat)
                 click here (jellybeans)
3.recovery cwm 6.0.5 - click here

    1. Fyi this rom is still in development. To make sure that the phone run at optimal speed, install memory cleaner to kill the unnecessary background apps from running. From my post, you should know by now on how to update your galaxy w by using recovery mode with ease. As you said, definitely this ROM is lag at some parts and you have the option to change/try other ROM that suited you the best. Here is the link to the page that contains ROM for galaxy w. Good luck

  31. Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. I get to the stage where I open Rashr, choose 'recovery from storage' , choose recovery.img and it tells me "the chosen image (10MB) is too big for your device (partition 7MB) If you are sure this image is the correct one you are able to skip the size check before flashing. Checkout the settings" Any ideas if I can solve this and still use the method you have shown please?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi-any ideas on this please-i.e. can I increase the partition size, or can I clear down some of the space used by the partition? I've certainly run all cleaning apps I can find (!) and cleared down lots of space on the phone generally...
