- Keep the phone as it is, and connect it to the PC using a USB cable.
- Open ‘Odin Multi Downloader_v4.38‘ software from the firmware package folder which you have just downloaded & extracted on your PC. As soon as you open it, the ID: COM section in it will turn yellow.
- If it does not show, then again install USB device drivers on your PC. You can install them from the links given above or the Samsung Kies CD which you’ve got at the time of purchase.

Preciso da password?
Thanks for leaving the very detailed procedure. I followed the instructions and it worked perfectly on a Samsung Galaxy Fit GT-S5670L.
Now I was trying to find the way to boot this device when connecting to wall charger. Almost all other devices require to either manipulate the /system/bin/playlpm or /system/bin/lpm , but I have been unable to find any one of those files, neither others mentioned on different blogs.
Does anyone know what file manages the charging battery loop on this device?
it is very nice. for update my galaxy fit. thank you.
