i900 - Phone part

As I said, the Phone hardware is gone, due to missing or wrong firmware:

On flashing with GrandPrix, up to the phone section, the program switch to USB phone, then attempting to open COM 0, but because of the missing phone part in i900, the communication is interrupted, i900 turn-off and the rest we will see is "Port Create Failed".

The solution now is:

* Direct flash to i900 by SD card or by internal Flash memory (8G or 16G). This will avoid the i900 communicates with phone through PC.

* Special software to directly flash phone without swith to USB Phone (bypass CDMD modem driver)

* Samsung service center is the last resort.

Up to now, the first two of above solution is required special skills and experiences of our cooking rom masters, but none of them interesting in i900. Therefore, the last one is only way to recue our devices.

Could you please give me the link to that file? i900DXHG4_phone.bin That is what i need to get my phone working since the pda updates fine but phone freezes at Samsung Omnia screen.
[Off-topic] binh:
Me too, I bought this PDA online. I'm in Vietnam now and I called Samsung Vietnam, they said they can't deal with this model because it's not available yet. Worse still, they said they won't take care of devices bought not directly from Samsung dealer.

That's right, we need some expert to make some sort of program that forcefully flash the ROM without turning off the device.

It was given to me by chaimd over at http://i900.modaco.com. I already tried and failed. But you also have the right to try, so I gave you the link.

thank you! i got it to work!!!! i used a different method havent tried with this. The portugues image that was posted XCHG5 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2552974&postcount=216 that file contained an Ebood+pda+phone image which i loaded and then grand prix created all the bin files automatically. I loaded this and it worked! it was in portugues but it worked. 5 minutes ago i updated the pda image posted by chained. I disabled every check box on grand prix except Start Downloading imediately. I loaded the image and now i have the english version.

You dont need to extract this file. You must use it with GrandPrix. Click the Phone button and then Detect.

It didn't work for me at all.

You may still be able to flash the pda rom using the grand prix (refer to first page) but I doubt very much that if your initial flashing is similar to binh KChauJen and mr tomorz, then likely you will have only the pda without phone function.

Solution for incorrect version

Hello guys, sorry to post late here, as i really missed this thread some how..here is the solution for "incorrect version error"..

as u all know this happens, when the part 4 of the ROM update, means the Radio, is not updated..this is due to the fact that, if someone updating the ROM for the first time, the samsung updater, installs the driver when the part 4 is started, so it gets delayed and we get the error..I have done some research, and I hope this will b useful to unbrick some phones.

- The bootloader system is very much differrent in Omnia.The bootloader stays only for first 5 seconds, when onmia boots i.e when one sees " omnia " this is the bootloader mode.After that it gets brighter and OS boots.

- Now the solution is funny.One needs, one good working omnia.

- Attache the working omnia to upgrade and the moment one gets the message "version verifiied.Press OK to reboot" do not press ok...instead remove the good omnia and connect the bricked omnia.

-Make sure one connects the bricked omnia, when omnia is starting up, or one can reboot the omnia, after connecting to USB cable.

-then press OK and the updater starts the update and wait till it finishes normally.

I hope this unbricks atleast some Omnias :)

[Off-topic] binh:
Oh, no it's not the "phone Bootloader Update". It's because we clicked the Phone button and select the PDA ROM placing in the Phone part. The Phone ROM is only 16MB, the PDA ROM is 122MB. So basically.... we broke the phone part because Grandprix tried to write 122MB on a 16MB area.

Do you get the idea?

I read on modaco forum and Paul (super admin) confirmed that it's not the "phone Bootloader Update" that break a device.

Can you tell me if it is the same procedure like you managed to put English PDA over German?

4. I reset omnia by clicking on the button reset

result: Omnia normaly loads and GrandPrix does not detect omnia.

GrandPrix

Did you press reset once or twice?

I guess more likely it's the device problem because it's not entering bootloader mode.

Try this:

1. Turn off the device (omnia).

2. Click detect on GrandPrix.

3. Turn on the device using power button.

Goodluck.

here`s what i did with an Omnia which came to my hands frozen, with only Samsung logo:

1.Tried with rom updater, but since it can`t be synced-failure

2.Tried with Grandprix 1.6.1_XP with the image posted in the first post- 3 times it stopped at 85% so almost I thought that it was a hardware problem. But since I`m very stubborn I tried other stuf:p

3.Tried the solution posted in the first post with the link to Modaco forum and Paul`s tutorial. Result : 5 times stuck at _eboot flashing....no result again

4. Ok,so this is the final try: after starting Grandprix 1.5.2. and selecting the image file I copied the 3 temp files from the root folder : _eboot,_xip0 and _phone (Grandprix after selecting unpacks the image file and creates 3 files in the root folder), put them into the c:\Grandprix folder and started the Granprix 1.6.1_XP. i had to rename the _xip0.nb0 to _xip0.bin in order to be able to select it as the PDA part of file in Grandprix. Started the flasher and after 2 times stucking i managed to finaly flash the Omnia!!!!!!!!!!!

now it`s alive and kickin`:D:D:D

New 12 Official Samnsung languajes Images..!

Once more but for some of us (omnias bricked) good news Sansung has posted 12 new ofcial languaje versions for Omnias, Rusian, Tahi, German, Philipines, Spain, Singapore etc. http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp

For some versions is a different way to perform the donload to the omnia, the Spanish version loads 5 files two more than GrandPrix, I did the download of it I have no errors at all, but still my Omnia is not working (the Radio section), I still I have "radio off", I tried the singapoore version and it was the same old way with low or none feedback to the user regarding the download process.

To install different languajes I first find the Omnia Version I want to install and download it via GrandPrix (no matter if the kw.kim works or not) the focus is to download the new Samnsung Official image (an .exe file) it loads the entire image 5 files at once, and may for some lucky Omnia users may fix his "radio off" problem (for mi it was not solved) I will try to download other language versions and may I will be succesful. I already did like 2o times the image version but old way GrandPrix or Old Samnsung images.
