charlie-i600 please write, can you :
1) send/recive mms
2) browse www via IE
3) make videocall ?

do You have configured wapenc and proxy server ?

is it 4GB card or less ?

can you read 512mb card on device or none ?

The problem you had described mayby is caused by setting for ringtone "incresing"

Try check this:
1) Start -> Settings -> Profiles
2) Chose the profile you use, for example "normal"
3) Press Menu -> Edit
4) Go to option "Alarm Type" and change from "Incresing" to "Play sound"

Did it help ?

This option is in windows program ActiveSync, not in i600.



You are right I'd added this to instruction in top. Thanks for info.

Right, i've updated info.

- download XXGD1 update, unpack file i600XXGD1_REV15.exe

- connect usb cable to PC, ActiveSync must find device,
- go to options and disable: usb connection

- turn off device "power off"
- turn on to boot mode by hold 3 keys shown on picture below


- run i600XXGD1_REV15.exe and press start button to start upgrading

How to make proper upgrade my i600 device to WM6Standard

What you need to know before start:

- update won't work in Windows Vista (boot loader can't find files)
- for some case samsung modem driver should be instaled before upgrading from earlier versions
- phone must be charged to full (3 bars)
- eject miniSD card.
- get write S/N phone
- don't unplug phone while upgrading
- don't try to upgrade i607 with i600 roms
- do it on your own risk


1) First, you need to upgrade i600 to XXGD1 version

- download XXGD1 update, unpack file i600XXGD1_REV15.exe
- if it's your first upgrade, you should install samsung modem driver
- connect usb cable to PC, ActiveSync must find device,
- go to options and disable: usb connection


- turn off device "power off"
- turn on to boot mode by hold 3 keys shown on picture below


- run i600XXGD1_REV15.exe and press start button to start upgrading



- wait till end after time counting digits (about 5min)


2) Settings to upgrade i600 do WM6

I. Downloading WM6 upgrade

- go to page: http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/i600/index.jsp
- chose for example Sweden
- type serial number: i600XXGD1
- next fill registry form, with proper S/N number (remember to type it in capital letters).


 
Number could be found under battery S/N.

- download from site 3 files
Samsung modem driver http://fus.samsungmobile.com/i600/Samsung_..._modem_4.34.zip
ActiveSync 4.5 http://fus.samsungmobile.com/i600/ActiveSy...glish_setup.msi
i600UXXupdater.exe http://fus.samsungmobile.com/I600/i600UXXupdater.exe

- unpack and install Samsung modem driver (run setup exe)



- install ActiveSync 4.5, after that check if device is finding by connect to PC



II. Changing phone version to Netherlands (panateo method discovered)

- type on phone *#1546792*# (or run hidden program in WindowsAdminSettings.exe) to get to admin settings menu
- chose option "Preconfiguration"
- type password: *#81230*#
- select country: Netherlands

Done, phone will reset.

III. Upgrading process

- run file i600UXXupdater.exe

- on phone, there appear graphic information, to press and hold: "left menu" + "camera key"



- phone will restart and should run in boot mode.

If not, then turn off, and hold "power" + "right soft key" + "camera key / back key" to run boot mode


You should see updating on phone screen


On PC would be something like this



After all complete, wait (about 5 min) to load phone, and automatic preconfiguration.

2) What is the passoword for Internal menu in Admin settings?

To make video calls You need:
1) have 3G on phone (icon)
2) type number You want to call
3) go Menu -> 5 Videocall

When I go to "Settings" -> "Security" -> "Reset" , and try to hard reset the machine, it fails.

it has the same effect as remove battery - it doesn't reset phone software.

I post You on pm pass for "internal" menu when You can reset other options.

try type i600XXGD1 - it will make your way to second site with registry form, and at 3rd step to dowload.

You must enable 3G to make video call. Try to make video call when you see 3g icon -other way it will be not possible.
This depends of operator too.

jackylui - did you try to reset eboot data before flash, and load working boot file ?
I will post you PM with the solution how to fix this problem, mayby this will help.

I would be careful for installing unknown software update linke i600_UXXGG2 - doesn't work with my i600 (XXGD1) - it freez in boot.

Manualy changing strong SW Version in registry wont help either, to get update to wm6.

Like hepics says, the fastest way to get wm6 update for people who see message "Incorect Version" in updating program, is to extract bin files for eboot, pda and phone and then load it manual to i600 So keep waiting.

Hidden link for other version is here: http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/i600/net/sub01.jsp

Faq how to update: http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/i60...ntroduction.jsp

After registry on site, you must enter S/N typing it on capital letters

Active sync 4.5 UK http://fus.samsungmobile.com/i600/ActiveSy...glish_setup.msi

Interesting is that this site is avalible only to 31st October ?

Good work! I was waiting 2 months





This two up looks good

Aoi Akujin, add this manual to wiki.

Did you try SmartToolkit ? could be download from: http://www.e-natives.web.id/

This could mean that your phone has low battery. In registry there is a string that define on what % is disabling backlight.

To delete contact from favorities in Card Well/Carousel:
1) select contact to delete (left/right button)
2) click "ok" button to enter contact
3) "menu" > "delete"


"Erm, I think he/she means remove the Contact from Carousel Favourites, not entirely delete it from the phone altogether."

Please try to make a question more cleaary then.

To remove contact from fav, without delete, go to:

1) Go to "Contacts"
2) Select
3) "Menu" > "Remove from Favourites"

To delete contact from favorities in Card Well/Carousel:
1) select contact to delete (left/right button)
2) click "ok" button to enter contact
3) "menu" > "delete"

orcinus: I'd tried flash in Vista, but device wasn't found. I think that Vista core are not good for this operation. Try to make flash in Windows XP.

Do you mean music and animation that are shown when on/off phone ?

You can change registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Startup/1]
"Dll"="Animengine.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Shutdown/1]
"Dll"="Animengine.dll"

to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Startup/1]
"Dll"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Shutdown/1]
"Dll"=""

After this, the phone will load WM5 without start/shutdown animation and sound.

To edit registry in i600, you need to unlock it with SDA_ApplicationUnlock

Mizzle:
"I noticed that the filesizes you posted are different, what version are you on with these files above? Just curious and thanks for your help!"

"After flash my i600 with this ROM, my "Picsel Viewer" was expired. When open my Excel files, it displayed "Your license to use Picsel Viewer has expired. Picsel viewer will now close"."

Try to load patch I600XXGC6 that I posted, it will bring back Picsel Viewer.

@Mizzle:

Next patch are 3 files from Edit: Please don't link to ROMs hosted on rapidshare

for phone, boot and pda

I got patch from pdafrance

After this i unlock registry

@issaralife:

It's sad to hear that. Rom from i607 don't work on i600.
Try to perform a format on i600 and then load Rev15_XXGA2
First I'd load rom Rev15_XXGA2, after end there was 3 digits counting. Removing/insert battery for reset.
It should be ok.

@Stepir:
On xda forum there is discussion about Card Wheel Plug-In and also about rom.

First time that i had read about new rom was from this polish forum about i600 test

Please feel free to ask, i will try to help.

btw. i had problemw with flashing in Windows Vista (device was not found) so i flash under Windows XP (with disable usb connection in activesync)

Mizzle:

After load rom "Rom i600 Rev15_XXGA2" to my i600, i make patch with this files:

BLACKJACK3_OPEN_XXGC6_phone.bin
ONENAND.bin
Pocket_merge.nb0

Patch enable to use Picsel Viewer as registered

First need to run: I600_WCEDownloader_v1.1_Single.exe, then chose eboot, phone, pda.

After this succes patch, there will be at end 3 digit counter. It's ok. To make reset remove / insert battery.

Edit: Please don't link to ROMs hosted on rapidshare

The only problem i had it was caused by Windows Vista with no device found.

"[StartDownload => 0] StartDownload !!
[PDA] Connect and Power-on the Device.
[PDA]Device Not Found.
"

I made patch/patch/unlock in Windows XP with Activesynch with usb option disable, and all went good.

"[PDA-0]Driver Opened.
[PDA]Read Wait. = [0]
[PDA]Read Done. = [0]
[PDA]Device Found. = [0]

[PDA]EBoot data download ready."


Stepir:
The thread from xda forum is here:

The second patch is described also in: pdafrance

First info about new rom/patch I found on polish board i600:
http://www.nadchodzi4.info/viewtopic.php?t=422

issaralife:
Sad to hear that. Rom for i607 are different that for i600...
What can i help.. try to format phone, and then run in boot mode and load "Rom i600 Rev15_XXGA2". Please write if it help.

I got wm6 modifed, but i won't try to instal it on my i600 unless there will be official info about correct version

Mizzle: at the end of flash, there will be counting 3 digits - it's ok.
Remove usb cable, and then remove battery, insert battery again and power on phone.

I don't know what is "I600XXGC6_fix_phone_flashing_problem". At monday i will post link to new version fix

I check detailed info about version by running \Windows\AdminSettings.exe (or *#1546792*#)

PDA: i600XXGC6
Phone: i600PMGC5
H/W: MP 1.502

Bluetooth
S/W: i60x.002
H/W: Rev 2.0

Wlan
S/W: 1.0.5.0
H/W: 1.0.0


(Eboot version: i600XXGC6)

OS 5.1.525 (buil 15363.3.4.3)
Radio Version i600PMGC5
RIL Version 2.002

There was no problem with flash. If You try to flash, remember to disable activesync usb connection.

After flash with new rom i load another patch/fix and then load SDA_unlock

For now there is no official info about rom for i600, only i607 had official relase from samsung.
I think that more free ram, and more stable system is worth to make this update.
