Those who wanted to upload wallpapers, choose 3 images you want, combine with any graphics editing software, save as 1 file and upload. 1 image alone will not make a good wallpeper.

this is a nice piece of phone!

                  Pete, 29 Jul 2009You make a good point about suiting everyone. So can I ask ... moreI already used nokia, sony ericsson, motorola and samsung...and based on my experience, samsung is one of the best in terms of handling. STAR is my 3rd samsung phone that's why its not that hard for me to learn how to use it. If you used nokia before, it will be easy for u to adopt with it's texting features. A cheap phone with lots of useful features. :)

                            This is a great phone! i bought it a month ago and i was blown away! sure there's a whole bunch of phones that can beat the Star but for the price of 11.5K it's a steal! Battery life is great, easy to use for calling and sending sms and awesome awesome interface! Iphone is the mobile to beat but for practical users this is the phone that suffices the need for a touch phone. The LG Cookie is lagging miles from what the Star can offer in terms of battery and other fields.

                                    1. Samsung USB Data cable.
                                    2. Your "thought to be" useless phone!
                                    3. Samsung star Firmware which can be downloaded
                                    4. Multiloader v5.5

                                    Steps:
                                    1. Put your bricked phone in bootloader mode by holding down the red power button and the down volume button at the same time until the screen pops up.
                                    2. Open up Multiloader v5.5 and under the "control" box, select "BRCM2133"
                                    3. Plug your USB Data cable into your phone and into your computer (at this point port numbers should show up at the very bottom and the Download button should be highlighted)
                                    4. Check the box that says "Full Download."
                                    5. Click the "BOOT" button and locate the boot folder which is located in the firmware file that you downloaded earlier and click open. (Note that the folder won't show any contents but the contents are there and will be used.
                                    6. Click on the "Amss" button and locate the Amss.bin folder and then click open.
                                    7. Click the "Rsrc1" button and locate the Rsrc.rc1 file and then open.
                                    8. Click the "Rsrc2" button and locate the Rsrc.rc2 file and then open.
                                    9. Click the "Factory FS" button and locate the FactoryFs.ffs file and then open it.
                                    10. Click Download and the phone will then be reflashed. ( don't disconnect the cable until it tells you it is completed.)
