Sorry, currently I don't have any tutorial to restore EFS file. Also, if you want to restore you need to have your EFS folder (before unlocking) backed up.

This guide might be able to help you more....

No, that's not the case. I rarely come to this forum (lack of time) so can't reply instantly. WHy don't you find me at yagyagaire.blogspot.com (simply follow the link on my signature)? I can reply there quite faster than here. So, on to your problem for your problem please find the deatailed instruction at the site mentioned by me.

And, yes you can upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.3.6 directly.

how to chnge the language?

To change the language go to locale and text in the settings and choose a new language.

I have followed everything on this webpage but it wont connect to Odin. what should I do to get it connect?

Make sure you have drivers installed and Kies is closed or disabled then try again.

hmmmmm... can i update from 2.2.1 straight to 2.3.6 ??? please help me soon :) i want to update my android really soon xD this looks like it will work :).
yes, you can!

i am currently upgrading my phone galaxy mini. i followed the instruction above. but when i press start. this one appears "<1> --- cannot open the usb serial port. code: 5" please help me solve this one thank you.

Same problem as above. Install proper drivers (you don't need if you have Keis) and if you have Kies make sure it is closed.

Question:

I'm here - 6) Click ONE PACKAGE button and load the extracted .tar file (S5570LWMKPJ_S5570LUUBKP8_S5570LWMKPJ_HOME.tar.md5)

However I extracted the zip and there are 4 tar files to chose from, which do I use?

Thanks

You then have to choose all four files :
Make sure you don't select One Package option ... Leave everything as it is. Then,
1. Select OPS file first
2. Choose APBOOT_*.tar in BOOT field.
3. Chose MODEM_*.tar in PHONE field
4. Choose CODE_*.tar in PDA field.
5. Choose CSC_*.tar in CSC field.
No need to chose anything for one package. Once everything is loaded, connect your phone and press start. :)
Happy Flashing. :)
