Disappointed with myself...

I am really disappointed with myself...
and I believed that I have failed myself greatly...

Instead of learning from the mistakes that I have made on my job....
I actually repeated the same FCUKING MISTAKES OVER AND OVER!!!!

What the hell is wrong with me????
Can't I do something about this FCUKING problem of me!?!?!

GODAMMIT!! I FEEL SO LOUSY....AND EXTREMELY FUSTRATED WITH MYSELF....

But hey....i will not let this frustration and gloomy feeling get over me...
I will definitely break out of this ICE SHELL, and get myself back!

I WILL PREVAIL OVER THIS!!! I WILL WIN!!! I WILL GET BETTER!!!!

Samsung Spica (i5700) Flash Guide (Android 2.1)

Please take note that this is not my posting. Just an redirect on another persons' Blog.

***** USE THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK ! *******

***** DO NOT BLAME ME FOR BRICKED DEVICES ******

What you need :

The firmware : I570EDDJB2 in my case. (Unreleased Android 2.1 (Eclair) firmware from Samsung).

Multiloader application and Spica OPS (Odin_v4_03.exe + spica.ops) : Odin_v4_03.zip

Drivers for I5700 : drv5700.zip

Samsung USB Cable

Before you start :

Backup your data !

Remove the SIM lock if any.

Create a folder and extract all files listed above + the firmware (do not extract the tar file from within the firmware)

Ensure your phones battery is sufficiently charged (and your laptops battery too if you live in a country like ours lol ;-))

Shutdown any service/software which could be using the USB port, especially the Samsung PC suite. - Very Important

Flashing :

Edit : You should probably do a hard reset before you start by punching in the following code on the phone *2767*3855#

1. Shutdown your phone and remove the SDCARD and the SIM

2. Put the phone in "Download Mode" by pressing Volume Down + Camera + Power button.

3. Connect the Phone to the PC using USB

4. Install drivers using the drv5700 files- A lot of guys are going wrong here. Open your device manager and ensure the two Samsung devices are shown properly before you go ahead.(circled in red) - see image below :

5. Open Odin Multi Downloader v4.03.exe, you should see the a COM port number with a yellow background.

6. Select the files as shown in the image below :

If you are using some other firmware and there is only one tar file select Option : One Package and load the file under One Package TAB.

Cross check the files and if you need to change anything click on "Reset Files" and select files again.

7. Once you are ready hit the START button. DO NOT DISCONNECT the phone until the firmware download completes.

8.Watch the "Message: window and wait till it shows <1> Close serial port and wait until rebooting.- This usually takes not more than 1-3 minutes.

9. At this point your flashing is complete and the device should be automatically rebooting, once the reboot is complete unplug the USB cable and flick open the Eclair green locking slider ;-)

Congrats !!! Welcome to the delicious ECLAIR club :-)

Issues :

Google Maps seems to be a bit temperamental (Upgraded to ver 4.0.0 from the new 2.1 Market). Phone has hung a couple of times but nothing really serious.

New Features :

Multiple Accounts Support
Exchange Support - No Calendar support or GAL lookup.
Camera now has Scene mode, White balance, Color effect
Search across the device including SMS/MMS
HTML5 Support in the browser.
Live Wallpapers
Refreshed UI


Hopefully Samsung will include pinch and zoom in the final release version :-)

Thanks to the guys at :

Screen Shots :

Do proceed with care. Any mistake will cause ur phone to brick.
Either unable to boot, or ur IMEI bumber to be corrupted. (will become 'zeros')
If that happens, please take it to ur nearest samsung service center. ;)

A Song I Like

Well...its been awhile since any posts here...so...this time round, i'm gonna introduce a song to u ppl! Its 'I Love The Way You Love Me' by Boyzone. Yea, I noe...its old...but...i jus happen to like it...keke...

I'll leave the judging to u ppl eh...what i find nice might nt be the same for others i suppose. Nonetheless, heres the lyrics of this song.
And sorry, no links for this song...haha...

I Love The Way You Love Me


I like the feel of your name on my lips
And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when you're not there
And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh
And how you enjoy your two-hour bath
And how you've convinced me to dance in the rain
With everyone watching like we were insane

But I love the way you love me
Oh baby yeah
Strong and wild, slow and easy
Heart and soul so completely
I love the way you love me

And I like the sound of old R 'n' B
But you roll your eyes when I'm sloppily off key
And I like the innocent way that you cry
From sappy old movies you've seen thousands of times

But I love the way you love me
Oh baby yeah
Strong and wild, slow and easy
Heart and soul so completely
I love the way you love me

And I could list a million things
I love to like about you
But they could all come down to one reason
I could never live without you

I love the way you love me
Yeah yeah
Oh baby yeah
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
so completely
I love the way you love me

My Shoulder...

actually, i've been having this pain on my right shoulder for quite a long time, its not always there though, e pain jus comes and goes. But recently, the pain came back after a badminton session and this time, it wont go away...damn...its so painful that i cant even lift things up, or rahter...i cant even lift up my right hand!!

Thus went off to see a chinese physician. After examining my shoulder's condition, he ased me if i had dislocated my shoulder before? And, yes...i did...tts abt so many years back...i fell while landing my shoulder on the ground during a badminton game...and being an idiot, i fixed it back with e help of my frens...

so back to the physician, upon hearing me saying yes, he told me that my shoulder wasnt fixed back properly from the last incident. And tt is why my shoulder having such pains on and off down the years!! And he HIGHLIGHTED that if i continue playing badminton in this condition...i can forget abt my right hand...it'll break...damn...this freaks me out! tot of life without my master hand started to pour in my mind...ok...guess i better heed his advice this time round...

The physician relocated my shoulder's position, including those veins running through it. The process is extremely painful!!! But when it finished, i can really feel the difference of my shoulder from before, though the pain is there...i can move it freely...this guy's real for gd...i didnt bear those pain for nth...

I did ask him how long do i have to wait for it to fully recover...and his reply was....3-4 mths, totally not touching badminton tt is...but if i'm not able to ctrl myself...light or friendly games wld be fine...but no smashes or moves that will strain my shoulder...but it'll tk abt 1mth more...

Well...guess i'd better heed his advice...but since i've already joined a competition within my company, i've gt no chouce but to play...but i'll restrict my own game play...no smashes or big swings...

Gonna tk gd care of myself i suppose...I dun wanna be a burden to anyone in the future, not my family, frens, or soulmate...
