How to install I5510XWKPH stock ROM on Samsung Galaxy 551 GT-I5510 and upgrade it to Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread.

Before you proceed always back-up all important data stored from the device. We are flashing firmware here, so it is better to be prepared better than sorry if something went wrong.
Ensure that the battery is fully charge, I fully recommend fully charge batteries, I already encountered a weak battery that shows 80% power but it suddenly shut downs, for it is already weak.  So, make sure that your battery is completely 100% working. Power failure while flashing will brick your device in no time.
Use a PC/laptop runs in windows OS, make sure that the USB port is working.

Grab these files youll need for flashing
Odin 4.42 (this version flash smoothly for it has an enhance mode support)
CALLISTO_v1.0.ops (This is the default OPS file for Galaxy I5510 that tells Odin you are going to flash the right device.
USB driver (needed if you havent installed on your PC)
