Hallo Paul (and the guys who made it possible - chaimd for example)

Worked perfectly on my Omnia 16gb from Singapore (bought via expansys). Coming from G4 and it's a great improvement!

Thanks!!!!

I posted this on unclesomebody topic but thought I'd come here to get full coverage as currently stuck with Portugese software

Followed all steps up until running i900DXHH1_PDA_updater_xp, whenever i press the 'Verify Device' button i get the 'Incorrect Software Version' notification. I have tried several reboots/resets, I have a connected ActivSync connection and not sure what to try next....

....any suggestion grateful!

Thanks,

EDIT - Sorry i was a bit panicked, performed the incorrect version fix and it seems ok.

Hi, i had the same error once.. then i pressed reset button on device, and after rebooting, the program started flashing again with the same process. When reached PHONE flashing, i had success creating a COM port and then the whole proccess went smoothly.

You may try the same thing...

Att,

thanks DT before reading your post I did exactly that and it restarted in Portuguese so I hope it's working, but the last process was about to take place and surprise I need to charge the phone again, exactly the reason for doing this in the first place. Hopefully everything will run smoothly soon!

cheers for your reassurance!

Hi Paul,

I have flash my Singapore i900 to the PDA DXHH1 but it seem to me only file 2 is loading, one problem is that the Navfone can not be register anymore.  For DXHH1, is there a file 1, 3 and 4 to follow, as I need the Chinese input option.
Right now on my Omnia, the Version is
PDA : i900DXHH1
PHONE : i900DXHG4
I wanted to try the GrandPrix to flash it to XCHG5 but this is a Spain version, does it affect the Radio for use in Singapore? In any case will there be a full version of DXHH1 for both PDA and Phone?

Thanks :D

Hi Paul and everyone,

Well it restarted ok, but although it reads HH1 on the version tab it still says HG3, shall I re do the whole process?

thanks

I knew this would happen, Paul I think it would really be helpfull to ad this under when things go wrong just under the instructions.

Also anyone can report any differences in the G5 Radio vs G4?

Hi,
I went through the process again and bingo, HG5 here I am!
The cool thing was it kept my storage items as in ringtones and pictures. Very pleased.

However, one slight bug it seems, my phonebook keeps freezing, like if I click on a letter to go to someone it just freezes.
if I then exit and go back in it shows the menu buttons, in the corners but not the phonebook, just the screen behind, in this case the menu screen.

Anyone else had this problem?

Paul, cheers for this, I'll let you know if it improves my battery life!

xGem :D
