My case:

Not branded - Samsung Omnia 7 updated with NODO using method B. ("Hungarian IP no data 15 sec. hack ")

Never rooted or used any unlocking tools.

OS ver.7.0.7390.0.

Firmware rev. num. :2424.10.10.6

HW rev. num. 3.15.0.4

Radio soft. ver. 2424.10.10.6

Radio hw. ver. 0.0.0.800

Bootloader ver. 4.10.1.9

Chip SoC 0.36.2.0

Cant get the phone in Download mode.

To get your Omnia7 into Download mode:

Phone off and:

- Press and hold the Camera button;

- Press and hold the Volume DOWN button;

- Press and hold the Power button;

- Release the power button when you see white Samsung Omnia7 Logo on your screen.

You should have entered Omnia7 download mode.

Remark: On lots of places you will find out that "VOLUME UP" is correct button but this is not the case with my SO7.

1. I tried using Samsung Omnia 7 Update tool. or go to MS Windows Omnia 7 page .

After trying for more than 1 hour I could not enter into boot loader mode.

(There is a message on the bottom of the Samsung tool to contact service support if I can’t enter the bootloader mode)

2. Zune reported that update is available.

- On the PC: I started the update but process stuck on “rebooting the phone” page. ( page 6 of 10 )

- On the phone: rebooting process stuck on “Samsung Omnia 7” white color msg.

Waited for 20 minutes and then

- Disconnect the USB cable,

- Pressed and hold the power button for minimum 5 sec for a phone restart.

- After the Windows Phone screen loaded ( BIG HUH!) I reconnected the usb cable.

- Phone was detected by Zune and the following message appeared.

- The update zune error code is because

I have to disconnect the USB cable – reboot

and connect again.

- If using Samsung update tool – Cant get the phone in DL mode.

- Bootloader ver. 4.10.1.9 (see first post)

This will be ugly.

Repeated everything 3 times.

Let the headache begin !

UPDATE:

If you have 4.10.1.9 that does not mean that you will have problems updating. Most of the affected are devices with that version. Do not assume that your update wont work if you have that version.( Or any other.)

- At this point nothing is fixed. Hardly they will fix anything at this point.

So:

- Your update might work without any problems.

- Your update might work without any problems after you used the Samsung update tool.

- Your update might NOT WORK AT ALL as described in the first post.

UPDATE: If you want to try and update with USB-JIG I created this simple guide here.

Just to clarify:

A. To get your Omnia7 into Download mode:

Phone off and:

- Press and hold the Camera button;

- Press and hold the Volume DOWN button;

- Press and hold the Power button;

- Release the power button when you see white Samsung Omnia7 Logo on your screen.

You have entered Omnia7 download mode.

Note:

On lots of places you will find out that "VOLUME UP" is correct button but this is not the case with my SO7.
