How to upgrade Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 of Middle East to Gingerbread 2.3.6

After the launch of firmware for Asia (Singapore), Samsung has brought much awaited firmware for my Middle East friends. Europe and Asia firmware’s gave a lot of trouble to Middle East users because of keyboards layout and NO ARABIC support. So finally for them, the wait is over. Few days back Gingerbread for Samsung galaxy Pro B7510 was launched for Middle East.

Details of Firmware file:

Filename

B7510JPKP6

Region

Middle East

CSC

B7510OJPKP5

Steps before Upgrading:

  1. Take backup of Contacts. Go to Contacts > Press Menu button > Click on More > Import/Export > Export to SD card > Confirm by pressing Yes.
  2. Take backup of your messages. For this you need an app. I personally use SMS backup & Restore Pro by Ritesh Sahu, you can get it for free, check this article.
  3. Take backup of the installed apps. For this you need to use a file explorer app, I used ES File Explorer. To take the backup of the apps installed, Open ES File Explorer > Press Menu button > Click on Manager > Click App Manager > Press Multi-select button on the top and select all the apps > Press Menu key > Click on Backup. The backup will be taken in SD card “backup” folder.
  4. Take backup of current settings and application data. Go to Settings >Privacy settings > Put a check mark on Back up my data and Automatic Restore.
  5. Shut down your galaxy pro and remove SD card and SIM card. (Don’t Power On your galaxy pro)

Files required for the process:

Firmware fileClick here to download.

Bennett_v1.0 ops fileClick here to download.

Odin downloaderClick here to download.

Unzip and extract the files that you have downloaded to a specific folder.

Step By Step Process:

  1. Press Power and Q button of your Galaxy Pro simultaneously to enter in Download mode.
  2. Run Odin downloader in your PC.
  3. Once you are in the Download mode, connect it to USB data cable and wait for ODIN to detect the phone. Once detected, the COM PORT 1 MAPPING box will become yellow and the phone’s port will be detected.
  4. Put a check mark on Auto reboot and Protect OPS.
  5. Click on OPS to browse and select the OPS file. You need to go the destination folder where you have extracted Bennett_v1.0 ops file.
  6. Put a check mark on One Package and browse and select the firmware file in the last box that is ONE PACKAGE. You will get the following message once firmware file is checked: 
    Check Message
    <1> Added!!!<1> Detected!!!Check MD5 FileName…MD5 File Name : B7510JPKP6_B7510OJPKP5_B7510JPKP6_HOME.tarOpen File Name : B7510JPKP6_B7510OJPKP5_B7510JPKP6_HOME.tarCheck MD5 …

    Image MD5 : D3472823DDDDC611987070A026858973

    Check MD5 … ok

  7. Now click on start. Wait until the green bar in the first box reached to the end. It will reboot your Galaxy Pro twice or thrice.
  8. Once done, it will give a message as PASS in the COM PORT box as well as message section.

  9. Disconnect the phone from USB. Go to Settings > About Phone and check the Firmware Version.
  10. Restore the phone back to factory settings to wife off the data. To do it Go to Settings > Privacy settings > Factory Data reset.
  11. Once it restarts, shut it down again and insert SD card and SIM card and now your Samsung Galaxy Pro is just like a brand new handset with android gingerbread.
  12. You can follow this article if you want to setup up phone for the first time.

Warning: Make sure your cell is fully charged while doing this and take proper back up of apps, contacts and SMS before trying this.  As we mentioned, we have done successful upgrades on 10 handsets and all of them are working fine. If you face any problem you can write it in comment, we will help you out. Do at your own risk. We will not be responsible if you end up screwing your phone.

Noticeable changes after Gingerbread Update:

  1. New languages support.
  2. Arabic language support.
  3. Arabic keyboard fix.
  4. New USB utilities option is Settings for quick Mass storage mode.
  5. Shortcut for Data Network Mode by pressing the power key.

    Hey Sid… You Seems Interested In Galaxy Pro Very Much… But The Samsung Guys Are Not..

    Any Way To Get Multi Touch

  3. Sid April 5, 2012 at 8:41 PM -

    No multi touch possible and don’t think abt ICS.. galaxy pro doesnt have sufficient hardware requirements for ICS upgrade

  4. suraj April 5, 2012 at 9:07 PM -

    ics graphics driver is now available for adreno 200 and galaxy 5 can get it..y cant galaxy pro…also android 4.04 supports qvga display..so pro can still be a pro with ics . :)

  5. Mohamad April 5, 2012 at 10:49 PM -

    Hope SomeOne Will Find A Way To Enable Multi Touch On The Pro… Its The Most Required
    Feature.. I Didnt Knew It When I Bought The Pro…
    Thought All Androids Will Have Multi Touch

  9. Alfred Shaji April 6, 2012 at 2:49 PM -

    I Already Upgraded To The Europe Firmware… Is It Very Necessary That I Should Upgrade to Asian Or Middle East Firmware…. Can I Download Only The Firmware File Excluding The Bennett_v1.0 ops file & Odin Which I Already Have From The Last Upgrade??

  10. Arshad Nawaz April 6, 2012 at 4:28 PM -
