Guys! It is NOT the bootloader version. As I posted earlier, I have bootloader 4.10.1.9 and when I hold vol-up/cam/power I first see the Samsung Omnia logo and then I get an image of a phone that connects to a computer, which I assume, is the dowloadmode. I have not tried flashing yet, because I would like some kind of backup first.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] izov:
What you get is not the download mode - it is what we all get with this bootloader version.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Erwan960:
When I bought my Omnia 7 (Orange Fr), I was with a JJ3 ROM :

Version du SE : 7.0.7004.0

Numéro de version du microprogramme : 0222.10.9.13

Numéro de version du matériel : 3.15.0.4

Version du logiciel de radio : 2424.10.9.12

Version du matériel de radio : 0.0.0.800

Version du chargeur de démarrage : 4.9.2.9

Version du SOC : 0.36.2.0

After that, I flashed with the DTMJJ6 ROM :

Version du SE : 7.0.7004.0

Numéro de version du microprogramme : 2424.10.10.4

Numéro de version du matériel : 3.15.0.4

Version du chargeur de démarrage : 4.10.1.2

Version du SOC : 0.36.2.0

And now with the XXJK1 :

Version du SE : 7.0.7004.0

Numéro de version du microprogramme : 2424.10.11.1

Numéro de version du matériel : 3.15.0.4

Just a stupid question - will this unbranded firmware unlock branded phones (SFR in my case) or the SIM lock will remain? (without the branding, of course).
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] daleski75:
This is all the proof we need so just need to find some way of flashing one of these other Omnia ROMs and then we should always have a working bootloader to flash away as we please.

Getting more tempted to try the 301k ohm resistor trick which forced download mode on some Galaxy S phones.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ikkari:
I bricked mine :(

I got an error during the flash, an now the phone is completely dead, no boot logo nothing.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] daleski75:
Sorry to hear about that :( Don't suppose you want to try the 301k resistor (the K is very important) trick with the microusb as this can on the Galaxy S anyway force it into a mode where you should be able to flash it again?

[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ikkari:
I will first try to use my warranty (although i know that SAMSUNG has the ****tyiest customer service on earth), if they refuse i can try the JTAG. Are you sure that the JTAG also works for the Omnia 7 :D

Thanks for the link anyway
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] BIG-Stan:
Hi guys!

Quick question about the ROM here: If I flash the german 16gb t-mobile omnia with the latest ROM will I be able to update the phone whenever MS releases the update? And if the phone would become "unbranded" after the flash?

I'm wondering about the whole update process and how it is handled right now? Since the phone is unlocked and without contract but has some t-mobile brandings would it be recognized as an t-mobile phone or a generic right now? Because that would kind of suck since t-mobile could hault 1 update...

But if the phone becomes generic after the flash, then (theoretically) I won't need/have to wait for t-mobile, right? So the updates will come straight from MS without any haults from providers?

Or am I completely off here? :confused:

Thanks in advance
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] daleski75:
From what I understand the updates get sent to the carriers who do their own internal testing and when they are happy with it at that point it gets pushed out to the phone.

Now in theory if you put on a complete unbranded factory rom then the update wont be subject to any carrier checks and you would get it sooner however it would be very hard to know that for certain.

Some carriers might finish their testing before others and also Microsoft could choose to release the updates to carriers in UK, Germany, France first and then other carries next so this could also affect the timing.

I had a stock factory Nexus and the updates where pushed out by google much faster than HTC so if that is the same for Microsoft then yes an unbranded handset would get it first.

Hy. I can`t flash any rom on my Omnia 7. Every time I get the message, that my device si not retail device and updater will do nothing to my phone... What should I do?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] daleski75:
Excellent news people, here is someone confirming the Galaxy S 301k resistor trick also works with our Omnia 7's :D

Now once we have done the initial flash in theory with a newer bootloader we will then be able to use the volume up + camera + power combo without a resistor.

Hi all!

Very good news for the persons whom can't enter the download mode on omnia 7.

I have just tested for you the 301mega ohms resistor trick and I CONFIRM THAT IT WORKS as on galaxy S

As soon as plugged, the phone enters directly to download mode.

Just switch off the phone, plug the Cable...and You're ready to flash your phone!!

For those whom don't know what i'm talking about, have a look to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE28Sy9p81U

(The phone on the video is a galaxy S but it's the same thing)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lyriquidperfection:
Excellent! I had a crafty feeling this would work! Now all I have to do is make a jig! :-) Ill post the good new in the Windows Phone 7 Development thread! Thanks for being brave to try this! :)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] daleski75:
It was another guy from a different forum but for sure I will be buying a 301k resistor over the weekend and giving it a go.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] des163:
He wrote mega ohms. Dunno if it was a mistype but its worth checking out as the error is in the thousands :p
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lyriquidperfection:
300k resistor will work just fine! :)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] daleski75:
Seems snappier with the latest rom and it's nice to get a proper search results without t-mobiles crap all over it.

Further testing needed but so far so good.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] magistrala669:
guys hello, i am completely new here and was reading all the posts above. i bought my omnia 7 yesterday fresh out of the box and unlocked. i know this is completely off the topic but i would like to ask you kind people for some assistance. my bluetooth is not working properly. after i try to connect to ANY device it says that the device is not supported. any rom out there to fix that issue?

thank you and again i am sorry for off topic.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] klima:
With WP7 you can't transfer files over bt. Only headsets work for now...
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] qakgob:
Just to check, the two versions here only differ in the languages available, correct? So I can flash either onto my UK T-mobile Omnia 7?

Also, I can get into download mode with bootloader 4.10.1.2. Screen says:

download mode

Do not turn off.
It takes about 10 minutes.

So I don't think it can be the bootloader.

[Edit] Just noticed that the last two parts are different. Disregard the second bit of the comment.

[Edit 2] I just flashed the software on my phone. All works fine. Scrolling on the market works better now (no freeze when loading more apps in the list), scrolling otherwise was slightly laggy, butter-smooth after reboot. Overall seems to have worked well.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] magistrala669:
thank you for quick reply, thought my phone was faulty.

Just wanted to report that since flashing I can enter download mode every single time.

Now waiting to see if any newer firmware's come out from samsung lol

Bootloader: 4.10.1.9

Unbraded

No download mode, just ordered a S9000 usb jig.

It's the second i have with this bootloader and same thing.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] jazzjunkz:
Does anybody know where I can buy the 301k ohm resistor in the UK? Considering I only need 1 aswel..I can only find sites that you have to pay bulk for.

That said, anywhere where I can actually go out and buy?

Thanks.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lyriquidperfection:
Hi I've just paid a couple of quid for a bulk load of 300k resistors as these will work just as well. I got mine off eBay but if you want to buy them individually then you can get them from maplins for 24p each.

Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] daleski75:
a 300k resistor by itself worked for me but to play it safe order a 300k resistor + 1k resistor from maplins for 24p each.

Good luck :)

Hi where did u get the male micro USB connector from? I was planning on cutting the connector off a USB cable and hoping there are 5 wires exposed.

Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Heathcliff74:
Hey guys. I made a jig myself and it works on my Samsung Omnia 7!

I used this guide. If you're gonna do that too, then you should pay attention to these things:

- The guide refers to pin 4 and 5 being closest to the headphone socket. But on the omnia 7, the headphone and micro-usb sockets are the other way around if you compare it to the Galaxy S. The guide is for the Galaxy S, so you should really pay attention to which pins you solder the resistor(s). This is the best picture on how you should solder the resistor(s).

- Many micro-usb cables have no wire for pin 4. Some connectors don't even have a pin 4. You should first verify that your connector has all 5 pins. If you only have 4 wires, then you have to dismantle the connector and solder directly on the back of the connector.

I switched off my Omnia 7. I plugged in my jig and it went to downloadmode immediately.

It's late now, so I will see tomorrow what I will be going to flash on it. There quite a few roms and I'm not sure which one I should use. I have to figure that out first.

If anyone has questions about how to make a jig, just ask. I know how to make one now.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Heathcliff74:
Hey again. Got a question for the experts here.

I have a Samsung Omnia 7 without any network operator locks. I live in Europe. These are my Firmware versions:

PDA: I8700XXJJ6

Phone: I8700XXJJ6

CSC: I8700XENJJ6

Firmware rev nr: 2424.10.10.6

Hardware rev nr: 3.15.0.4

Radio sw ver: 2424.10.10.6

Radio hw ver: 0.0.0.800

Bootloader ver: 4.10.1.9

Chip SOC ver: 0.36.2.0

I built my own micro-usb jig, so I can get into downloadmode.

I want to upgrade because of better network performance. Can anybody tell me which ROM I should flash? And why should I use that specific version?

If I understood correctly I will loose all my apps, phone logs, sms and data, except for my contacts, because they are stored in my online profile. Is that correct??

Thanks!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] daleski75:
You are correct in what you lose when you flash a new rom and if you look at the first page on this thread you can see 2 links so choose the best one which suits you and after you have done this you won't need the jig no more ;)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lyriquidperfection:
OMG!!! I have just flashed the XENJK1 firmware and now I dont have XBox Live or Marketplace anymore!!! Im in UK. Gonna try the BSEJK1 to see if it fixes this!:eek:

Hi guys!

I flashed the phone last night and love having no t-mobile crap :D

One thing that I noticed after the update is that the touscreen responds perfectly now when placed on a soft surface... Before the update it acted weird but now it works as if it was in a hand.

The only negative thing that the firmware didnt fix is the prox. sensor when on a phone call. I had to set it manually through diagnosis tool again. But other than that it's really nice!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] degsyh:
Just flashed my phone, an H3GUK branded/network locked, to the XENJK1 rom (prob one one of the scariest things I've done on a 2month old phone!). Anyway seems to have gone ok, just in the process of reinstalling apps, settings etc which is always a pain if anyone has ever done a hard reset.

3 phones are not overly branded but its obviously removed any traces that were there. The phone seems a bit snappier though thats what everyone always says when they update/reinstall :) Though in saying that Marketplace does seem to scroll though quicker etc...

I thought it might fix the major problem I have with my phone and its connection to my router - wifi won't go any faster that 0.5mbs! Unfortunately no joy there (not sure if anyone has any ideas whats going on there - not sure if I have a faulty wifi chip or its connection to my router??)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lyriquidperfection:
check your router settings and make sure any bandwidth splitting or throttling settings are disabled. Failing that, do a factory reset on your router to see if that helps.

I wonder if the carrier customistation will be back when it's officially release. My guess is it will...
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lyriquidperfection:
No it wont. It depends on the CSC as to whether the ROM has any customisation or not. The CSC also determines the ROMs default language, locale and regional settings. :)

unlock it but if i install this Firmware the Unlock is away right ?

Bye and Thanks :)

You can flash on a simlocked Omnia but it won't unsimlocked it.

If your phone is ever unsimlocked, it will stay unsimlocked.

Also, what is the procedure to update the firmware of the phone?

Last question: I lose all settings (download games and applications?)

Thank you very much!:)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Peew971:
You need to use the XEN one. Intructions are given a few times in this thread, just read all the posts, that's what I did.

I lost everything when I flashed but when I synced with Zune I got my apps and games back as well as music/videos/podcasts/pictures. You don't get the trials back though, only full versions of apps if you got them. Also, you can sync your contacts and emails back but not your sms/mms.

Just in case, make a list of all your apps and games and check if something is missing afterwards.

Good luck

I butched a micro USB to USB cable to get the micro USB plug, tied the 300k and 1k resistors together, used a little bit heatshrink to insulate my hands. turned the phone off and I just held the phone between my legs and manually touched pins 4 and 5 on the micro USB plug and it went straight in to download mode.

It did take me a while to figure out how to get the phone to show to the flashing tool.

Install samsung drivers first

plug phone in and let the drivers install

unplug phone, put in to download mode and replug back in

you should be able to flash with the tool now

I am trying to burn stock ROM images on my Nexus One. I am trying to follow instructions in this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614850 but can't get fastboot to flash my ROM with the images nor erase the userdata partition.

When trying

-> fastboot erase userdata

I get "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" message and when trying

-> fastboot flash userimage.img

I get "sending 'userdata' (837 KB)..." but nothing happens even after 10 minutes... This is the same when trying to flash system and boot partition as well.

I can see my device and reboot it using

-> fastboot devices

-> fastboot reboot-bootloader

My HBOOT version is 0.33.0012 and I have this S-ON (can't quite figure out what this means)...

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
When in the bootloader does it say HBOOT below the green text or FASTBOOT? You will first need to navigate to the fastboot entry (I think that's what it's called) and press the power button. Your commands should then work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smichak:
It says FASTBOOT USB. I can see the device and do a reboot using the fastboot tool in my PC - only the erase and flash commands don't seem to work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
Hmmm that's weird, I only got those errors when it said HBOOT. An alternative is to flash the phone using PASSIMG.zip. It will wipe the partitions you are attempting to; userdata, system, boot etc using a completely stock rom and is done via the fastboot menu.

Edit: This is assuming you have an unlocked bootloader?

Is there a tutorial or something on how to do this (the PASSIMG.zip thing) ? I don't wanna mess things up...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
There was but I can't put my finger on it at the moment. However I used this exact method a couple of days ago so it's still fresh:

1) Download FRG33 image format from here. Versions above this as far as I know cannot use the PASSIMG.zip method.

2) Rename to PASSIMG.zip and place in the root of the sd card

3) Reboot/boot to bootloader

4) At this point the phone will recognise the zip file and check its contents.

5) When prompted press the volume button to confirm.

This will return you to stock (Minus the recovery but from the sounds of it you don't have a custom recovery image).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You have to extract the FRG33 file and then rename the new file passimg.zip
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smichak:
OK thanks - the PASSIMG.zip thing did the trick. Now I'm running FRG33 stock. Any tips on how I get from here as quickly as possible to Gingerbread?
