Root & install Clockworkmod Recovery on Samsung Galaxy Fit GT-S5670. Whenever you buy an Android phone, it comes with an in-built stock configuration. All the commands and functions that it provides, of course, given by the manufacturer, are limited, and we cannot overcome these limitations. However, various methods are available that help to go against these limitations and perform privileged commands on the device.
However, users are mostly concerned about the warranty that can be eliminated after attempting these methods.

One thing users do after rooting their device is install a custom recovery. A custom recovery like Clockworkmod abbreviated CWM can be installed on rooted devices to experience the new Android versions on their device. Also, a CWM helps to back up ROMs, wipe data, and caches, increase internal memory, increase RAM, and much more.
It has a 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus, which can surely capture an image of good quality. The in-built Android OS that it had was v2.2 Froyo, but it could upgrade it officially to v2.3 Gingerbread. These are the unofficial releases for experiencing the amazing new features on your device.

Hi Abhijeet: I have a Galaxy Fit GT-S5670L. I did all the steps in your tutorial and my cellphone is stuck in bootloop. When I connected my phone, ID:COM remain yellow, never turn blue and it said in the box under COM Port Mapping (COM 5). And the PASS message turned blue, not yellow.
So I did all the procedures again but when Odin reboot my phone while flashing cwm, phone keept rebooting while Odin was still working.
I’ve tried it all: ‘Wipe data/factory reset’ , ‘Wipe Cache partition’, in Advanced> ‘Wipe dalvik cache’, in Mounts & Storage> ‘Wipe /cache’ and still bootlooping.
This is the second time I did something to my phone and the second time I broke it, it’s like the Universe doesn’t want me to mess with it.
Any suggestion will be very apreciatated since I’m really REALLY lost.
Should I flash a stock rom for Galaxy Fit GT-S5670L and install a down grade cwm version? Or just flash a down greade cwm version only?
Thank in advance.
This article is only for GT-S5670 and not GT-S5670L
