Has anyone been able to do a successful ROM update from the one that ships with T-Mobile UK (XXHH7 / BOHH5)??

Battery life on this is awful, from fully charged to flat in under 24 hours with little or no use!

I have no additional apps installed either other than what it shipped with, I know it's not going to get better either as i've had the phone for 2 months now.  :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Yeah, I updated from shipping ROM on a T-Mo Omnia to DXHK3. You should be able to go to any ROM fine.

Hi GT Dave,

I have got the same samsung omnia as you (BOHH5)

Have you added a new ROM yet? I tried to add one via the samsung website but it keeps saying it is the incorrect details. Any help be great.

Thanks chaps, now I need to summon up the courage to upgrade! :rolleyes:

marvolus, no, not yet.  I get the same errors from the Samsung website.  so it'll have to be one of the generic ones for now I guess.

Okay, I have downloaded all 3 parts for the DXHK3 rom.
What do I do next, run each exe file in turn?
Sorry, but I searched & couldn't see the obvious answer!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Paul,
Yes, there were 3 RAR files (parts 1, 2 & 3), which un-rared to give 3 exe files.
These I grabbed from Secany's thread.
Am I barking up the wrong tree? :rolleyes:  :)

Thanks in advance!
