Because you are in a forum concerning Samsung Galaxy Europa, not Ace...

Could you help please. Some time ago another forum member asked about the following code but I cannot see a reoply from your good self.
I have a Europa phone with the same code, the phone loads OK into Kies but shows as not upgradable.
Code is YKAH3G. I think that is a UK number?
Thank you

My PCode is GTI15500 YKA3IE
Im in the UK

Can I update the firmware on this phone?

can anyone tell me how to check if my i5500 is water damaged and if it can be fixed? at first the phone would turn on but once the battery was used up i tried to charge it and now nothing at all happens

Hi, I recently got a GT-I5500 it came unlocked and I am unable to update it from 2.1 update 1 via firmware. Can you help me? the PCode is GT-I5500YAKH3G and I live in Barbados, the Caribbean.

Thanks

I, too, have product code GT-I5500YHAK3G. Don't know what to do to root this thing, and right now it's stuck on 2.2, which is very frustrating (mainly because I want to write software for it, and Processing only supports 2.3 and up).

The only likely-looking link I've found just gives me 509 errors.

Any leads?
