Samsung Galaxy Europa I5500 has got the new firmware update. The firmware version XFJPQ updates your mobile to Android 2.2 version. This firmware is released for European users and it is not an official update by KIES so we will use Odin Flash Tool to update this firmware version.

There may be some minor bugs as it is not a official release but a beta release.
Pre-requisites: -

  • Ensure that you have made a back up of all your data like images, videos, audio, contacts and messages, because updating this firmware will erase all your data stored in the local phone memory.
  • You can transfer your images, videos and audios into the external memory and can locally save your contacts and messages into your PC/laptop or you can sync your mobile with Gmail. See here : how to back up your contacts and messages
