I flashed my omnia with grandprix vista yesterday which crashed it so that it got stock in the the bootload-modus.
I was not able to detect the device with grandprix again, so I could not reinstall the image. I tried now to download an original firmware from samsung, in my case italian, because I thought I would understand it at least a bit. But I could not flash it because it was impossible to check "connected to wmdc". Now I used a little software, which can enable the button "Verify device". You can download it here: http://rapidshare.de/files/40614640/WinControl.zip.html Just download wincontrol go into the software-tweaks, tab and drag the magnifier to the "Verify device" button. Now press the Enable button in wincontrol on the left side below testhandle. Now You can press "Verify device" and you should see some error-message. Just redo this step and it will start flashing your omnia. Caution: It did work fine for me, but I have not tested it more than once. So just do it, if you are sure what you're doing. Also please leave a note here, so that other users can see if it worked or if it created more damage than before! -------------------- Free- and Shareware for PC and Smartphone:

Is the led red when you plug your Omnia ?
Mine isn't. So with your method, I can make what it should do but I get the message : Check your battery... I think I don't habe one but two problems (bricked + power). |

I think I don't habe one but two problems (bricked + power). Why don't you charge it first for an hour or two? Because I would not try to flash my omnia with half empty battery! km Btw. the flash-software was showing this question, but I could get rid of it by repeating enabling the button and pressing "verify device". I also was able to check the second box. -------------------- Free- and Shareware for PC and Smartphone:

"Verify device" is the disabled button from the rom-updater from samsung (in my case the italian rom). Because you need to connect your device first via wmdc (or active sync) After flashing the italian rom I could flash the inofficial rom with grandprix . -------------------- Free- and Shareware for PC and Smartphone:

Should I use it on the samsung official webpage DZ rom or should I use the DXHI3 rom? I tried using it on the DXHI2. And the photo shows what I got.  Then, I tried it on the official DZHH3 rom, first I got  which I think it's normal. And then I got "incorrect software version"  Please help Paul... Please Please... Thank you... |

Hmmm, the second one I guess, but it is giving you issues due to the region.
IIRC you can patch the installer to let you bypass that, but I don't remember the details...? Anyone? P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder. Check out my Blog! £10 off a £20 spend at eXpansys - click for details |

You probably need to hex edit the updater and change DXHG4 to match your region... where is your device from? Do you know which ROM WAS on it?

QUOTE Most simply way, 1. Find i900DX+NULL(0000h) as UTF-16 in DXHG4 Updater, using a binary editor. 2. Change i900DX to suit for your Software Version, i.e. i900XX. 3. Update normaly. From chaimd! Good luck! This post has been edited by Zyxx: Oct 6 2008, 19:27 |
