It seems I bought my i600 a bit too late...
Samsung has already removed the files/links to the WM6 official firmware update from their website... before the promotion deadline! You only get dead ends... :-( http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/i600/net/sub03.jsp Could somebody post a working Netherlands or Sweden (or similar...) WM6 update file? Thank you in advance. :-) This post has been edited by Brunobiseu: Jul 18 2008, 15:44 |

M.S In any of the available languages I get to the point where you have three selectable downloads: ActiveSync4.5, Samsung modem driver and the Samsung i600 Firmware Upgrade. When I select any of these options, IExplorer opens a new window for http://fus.samsungmobile.com/I600/i600UXXupdater.exe and you get but chinese (?) characters and no downloadable file... Help anyone? |

Why don't you just use the MoDaCo Wiki here that has a direct link to the WM6 file? It might not be the Netherlands or Swedish firmware but you should be able to add the languages in later.
Alternatively, just could just stick with WM5, I never have understood the fascination for a .1 upgrade to a creaky OS that offers little more than a fisher price colour scheme and a few non-essential tweaks  EDIT: Just seen your 17:18 reply, I have the file so can send it to you if you really want (can't post it here though). Alternatively, if you do a search on google, there are enough Rapidshare servers with that firmware

I found the Samsung modem driver from an alternative site but was unable to find the i600UXXupdater.exe file anywhere else, Rapidshare or other. Activesync 4.5 can be downloaded from the Microsoft site. Can you help me out as well? Thanks. |

If you look at that link it may be written in Chinese - all except HTTP 404 ...... ie Page not found. The link is there but the file is not. -------------------- He who asks a question looks foolish for 5 minutes. He who doesn't ask a question remains foolish forever.

For anyone who wants the i600UXXupdater.exe file, I've uploaded it to Rapidshare, send me a PM and I'll send you the link, don't think I can put this on the i600 Wiki though.
Please note, you must PM me if you want the link, any requests on this thread will be ignored. |

QUOTE(likepeas @ Jul 27 2008, 11:17) how to you get into flash mode its bugging me. how long do you hold it etc? To enter flash mode/boot mode you must first turn off the moby. Then press three keys "power" + "right soft key" + "camera key/back key" together for a few seconds. Is very straightforward, but if you're finding it difficult, try holding the right soft key and camera/back key first and then the power button. |
