slimjim,

this is most likely a problem with your Vista install not detecting your Epix rather than a problem with GrandPrix.

Make sure that your Vista install can connect with your Epix in WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center). You may have to switch your Epix to USB Connection > Modem, plug it into your computer and supply your Vista install w the approriate drivers. Then switch your Epix back to USB Connection > ActiveSync, verify that WDMC can still connect/detect your Epix and then start the Upgrade process from the start.

Calculating file parameters(DISKIMAGE) Done!!

OnDeviceChange: DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL

PDA Device not found.

I keep getting this. I've tried everything and nothing seems to work. I am running 64-bit vista. Please help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sy5t3mf41lur3:
ahhh nevermind. I got it. I decided to try and install it from an XP machine instead of my 64-bit Vista machine. It worked right away and so far I love it!

I must be the only one who can't get the 6.5 loaded. Mine hangs on Writing Dummy CSC header and when I unplug and reboot by taking the batter out, it just stays on the Samsung screen, doesn't do anything. An advanced user, please help this newbie!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sy5t3mf41lur3:
i can't send mms or use wifi anymore???? why is this???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HorizonsOfChaos:
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I tried installing 6.5 with the directions I found on mysamsungepix.com and it seemed to be working well but my phone has locked up at downloading the image once it reaches 100%. I was hoping it would just go away but it's been sitting here idle for a good 20 minutes. I can't figure out what to do and I'm worried I may have just bricked my phone. Anyone know what I can do?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyder87:
ok so a few things i noticed is, epix performance cab needs slightly reworked and added into this rom that will help with speed it als nneeds app unlocked ahead of time if possible, but those compressed files really help the epix the mouse issue needs fixed as it is a minor annoyance, but also epix vga should be included in this rom and fixed so hat icons dont dissapear for taskmanager and domain enrol, htc-x button would be a good addon as well. besides some ringtone sbeing inaccessable because they are corrupt missing (which also needs fixed) the themes seems broken, i apply a black theme but some menu's are still in blue when i pull them up. sorry for a quick post just listing issues, overall i love this rom, i do hope they make an official release tho, also on some sites they make a statement that this rom is time bombed, is that true? anything i could do to help let me know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyder87:
horizons, if its froze on csc headed just pull it and reseat battery, if its froze before that im unsure, but id probably pull it and reset it and try to redownload it again.

Hey trashcan, when is the 23028 version going to be up? Also does it have at&t apps or no? You don't say in the details. Also, when is the mouse issue going to be corrected?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HorizonsOfChaos:
Well, I wish it would've gotten that far but it froze up before it even got to writing the CSC headers. Once it got to 100% on downloading the image GrandPrix never went any further. I tried unplugging and re-seating the battery but my phone never responded when I turned it on again. I was able to get the ID1 update onto the phone so it's not bricked. I'll just have to do a bit more studying I guess before I try installing 6.5 again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyder87:
also live search needs either uninstalled or removed because bing search is released now, any luck with the mouse issue?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krazyphire:
I think all of you people asking for any further updates need to calm down. When trashcan updates you, then you'll have some info. Until then just relax!

Also the mouse issue is not his fault, thus not truly his concern. It is an unstable mobile OS that has not fully been configured to run on the i907/i780 optical mouse wielding controls. So I'd advise that you people stop clamoring about that all the time.

Just enjoy what you have.

Mouse issue is on the Microsoft side. Same with Pre-installed software. Just chill out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:
Gotta agree with Krazy, the mouse issue is present on all devices that have an optical mouse from what I've read, and no one's fixed it, so expecting Trashcan to magically fix it is a bit unrealistic. I do hope he has a chance to update some new roms soon, or maybe can at least tell us what tools he used so someone else can cook something up?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ~~Tito~~:
I haven't seen that many questions regarding the status of the update. I just asked to see if there was any progress. I have seen in another thread that a person developing for the i780(The Epix's 3rd cousin almost identical cousin) fixed the issue, I am not sure though. Its a simple question, that's all.

I am enjoying it actually, but it doesn't hurt to ask. :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Handonam:
Anyone know how to alternatively find the Task Manager? I have the epixvga hack, and now the shortcut doesn't show up at all on the settings, haha. i'm talking about the whole shortcut, and not the picture icon that plagued 6.1

:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyder87:
so someone posts about bugs and possibly some fixes and they need to calm down, see im very grateful for what trashcan has done, im simply pointing out things that could help him, if hes going to put the work into im sure hed like to know areas to look at, who wouldnt? its not that anyone needs to calm down, in fact you were the only one fired up, im trying to give him areas that he could look at and ideas that may help, he obviously has an epix also and its good to know other people are looking at things, in fact i asked him if there was anything i could do to help. just trying to clarify that im only trying to help and not being pushy.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyder87:
handonam go to file explorer and then to the windows directory you can find it in there, just copy it or create a shortcut to you start menu folder on the phone, the icon will look different but it will work.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaudelJr:
Is there a hard SPL for the epix i907?

I want to flash my phone, but I don't want to "Brick" it.

If someone could please give me a link to "Hard SPL" my phone I would really appreciate it.

And which ROM should I flash? 23017 or 23028?

I also have ATT Fuze and I didn't like 23017 much. 23016 is my more stable on my fuze, but that isn't necessarily the case with my sgh-i907 with an ATT service.

Any suggestions?

Raudel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BWheezy:
As I remember Hard SPL was a bootloader to unlock flashing for the HTC phones (had a tilt briefly). You don't need that for the Epix, just the ROM and grandprix. 23017 with the larger page pool is the best ROM I've seen to date for the Epix. The 23028 has some promise but Trashcan's original release of it was kinda unfinished, it does add a couple of the "new" features but some of the buttons aren't mapped etc. I have the file but Trashcan took the link down. Personally I think I'd just go with 23017 for now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaudelJr:
Thank you much!

I'll begin flashing.

Raudel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaudelJr:
I can't seem to download the rom from rapidshare.

Could someone provide a mirror?

Raudel

EDIT-->nevermind, it worked.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meanvulcan:
:mad:

So this is it? I guess no one is working on the updates...

Trashcan, if you can point me in the right direction, I'd be much obliged. I would gladly have a go at trying to cook a new ROM, but would need help getting started. I am technically inclined (I've been in software development for 20 years)... so I promise not to waste your time too much :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaudelJr:
I downloaded 23017 but when I ran it, it asked for an ID and a KEY

What should I enter?

Raudel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
I have done this:

type this in the phone dialer screen

*#1546792*#

Select Network Call Setting, then Network Mode. Auto enables 3G, GSM turns it off.

This doesn't stop programs from trying to use 3g but 3g just won't connect so it isn't an option for data transfer any more. So you still get the annoying pop up messages.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaudelJr:
I had a set of ID and Key from the latest official Epix i907, I used those keys to try to flash build 23017 but it ended up re flashing wm6.1.

I guess the ID and Key is very important. Can someone offer me some guidance?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gistofit:
sorry about that...by messages do you mean texts?? or emails?? I personally don't have a data plan so I was just annoyed by the attempts at 3g and the battery suck of 3g. I use wifi for all my data and I have unlimited texting. I also forward my emails to my phone through text messages so it is free to "get" emails and then I can responds with wifi in the future.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaudelJr:
I still haven't been able to flash any ROM, newbee when it comes to the epix.

Trashcan,

I haven't been able to flash any of your ROMs, my issue is mainly that I don't know how. I found Grand Prix for Vista but it doesn't seem to detect my device.

If I run the Bin on it's own it asks for an ID and a KEY which I don't know which to use.

I would really appreciate if Someone could provide me some instruction to flash my phone with your cooked ROM.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Raudel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drewopo77:
a little help

hey RaudelJr

why you try to flash have u set the usb connection on your sell to activesync

under the ( start > settings > connections> usb connections ) i had the same thing at first when i went to flash and wouldn't detect my epix till i changed it to activesync from modem, also when u start up Grand Prix make sure u right click on it and pick run as admin or from posts on here it wont work properly either

and as for the id and key i have no idea what to do there

hope this helps

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaudelJr:

It would be nice to test it on the epix too, If I ever figure out how to flash it on my epix. I've tried quite a few suggestions and still no joy!.

I hope someone could help me out.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Josh_U-A:
23037 maybe old news for the Fuze but for the Epix it would be brand new!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaudelJr:

Do you think you could give me a hand as to how to flash it?

I've tried several things and it just doesn't flash. Flashing epix is completely different then flashing my Fuze. :confused:

Raudel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Josh_U-A:
Hey Raudel, I haven't flashed the 6.5 ROM yet because I have been waiting for Trashcan to upload the 23037 build on to the site. For directions on how to flash the ROM, there is an excellent website: www.mysamsungepix.com, you scroll down to Windows Mobile 6.5 post and he details it out step by step. What he has on the site:

1. Verify that your Samsung Epix can connect to your Windows computer via USB. You should be able to browse your Samsung Epix in My Computer > Mobile Device and/or make a successful connection via ActiveSync. If you cannot do this, the GrandPrix program most likely will not see your Epix.

2. Turn off your Samsung Epix, but it connected to your Windows computer via USB.

3. Start USDL GrandPrix (Windows 7 users run the Vista version)

4. Under “Select a profile” choose “GRANDPRIX LV image”

5. Click the “PDA” button and locate the Windows Mobile 6.5 BIN file.

6. Press the Detect button in USDL GrandPrix

7. Power on your Samsung Epix

8. Wait for the process to full complete (mine idled at “Writing Dummy CSC Header” so I moved to the next step and everything was fine).

9. Power off your Samsung Epix (may require a battery pull if your CSC Headers hang).

10. Power on your Samsung Epix.

11. The first “boot” of your Samsung Epix may take a while (up to 5 minutes) so don’t panic if your phone seems unresponsive at the orange Windows Mobile screen – be patient.

12. Complete the Windows Mobile 6.5 setup wizard and voila – Windows Mobile 6.5 on the Samsung Epix.

For what it's worth, you can use radiooff.exe (someone posted it for me in the i780 leancut rom thread) to toggle the phone radio on and off after using a GPS program, once the phone radio is toggled the device.exe usage goes back to 0. I wrote a little mortscript using the runwait command to run my GPS app (googlemaps in this case, but should work with any app) and then run radiooff.exe twice afterwards to disable and re-enable the phone radio. Device.exe drops back to 0. I tried to do a sleep program and just turn the radio off after a minute or two (after aGPS fix) but unfortunately it seems when the radio toggles off and on the app then tries to connect and get a new aGPS fix. So you'll still be murdering your battery as long as the app runs, but at least when it ends the script toggles the phone radio and the device.exe usage drops back. I'm going to try it on igo8 later and see if maybe I can get away with toggling it after 1 minute of runtime with that without aGPS connecting again and driving the cpu usage back through the roof.

Script should be as follows (from memory, and your paths may vary):

runwait \storage card\program files\googlemaps\googlemaps.exe

run \storage card\radiooff.exe

sleep 5000

run \storage card\radiooff.exe
