Steps to install KitKat Special Edition on Galaxy Fit S5670:
Download the ROM package file on your phone. Switch off the phone completely. You need to enter into recovery mode now. For the same, press & hold ‘Home Button (middle button) + Power Button’ simultaneously until the recovery mode appears. Touch won’t work here in recovery. So all you need to do is use the Volume keys for navigation and the Home button for selection. At first, take a complete Nandroid backup of your current ROM. After taking the backup, select ‘wipe data/factory reset’ option followed by ‘wipe cache partition’ option to clear all your data & caches from your device internal memory respectively. You’ll find an option named ‘install zip from SD card’ in the main menu of recovery mode. Select it using the Home button (middle button). On the next screen select ‘choose zip from SD card’ option which will show you all the files and folders located on your phones external SD card. Simply navigate to the KitKat Special Edition ROM package which you’ve just copied earlier & select it. Press the ‘Yes’ option on the next page to start the ROM flashing process. Be patient and wait until it completes. In few minutes, the ROM will get successfully flashed. After that, you’ll again land into recovery mode. Now navigate to the ‘wipe data/factory reset’ option and select it. Similarly, do it for the ‘wipe cache partition’ option on the recovery mode. Both these options will clear the entire data & cache present of your phone’s internal memory. Similarly, install the GApps zip file as you’ve installed the custom ROM. Just remember not to wipe data after that. You may restart your phone now. For that navigate to the ‘reboot system now’ option and select it. You’ll notice that a complete new boot has been executed. This first boot will take more time to start than usual.
