Hi everyone,
I'm new at this forum. I signed in because i'm been searching for a method that would let me update the rom of the Samsung i617 using MicroSD. I haven't found anything. I do know that other phones need to be in bootloader mode and the new rom must be in a formated sd card with specific name.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advace.

I'm not sure there is such a method available for the BJII.
The other phones you mentioned are typically Windows Mobile phones manufactured by HTC & require the original bootloader to be flashed with a custom one to take advantage of flashing from a memory card (custom ROMs only).
Try looking at the i780 thread to see if others have found a way to do that with the WM phones manufactured by/for Samsung.
But don't try it until you're sure or you might risk bricking your phone.
Why not just use the USB method?
If you are facing difficulty because of the OS you're using, try using VMWare player & run a VM for Windows XP & ActiveSync to flash the device.
That should work.

Thanks for your quick reply. I don't have the usb cable...i have tested lot of cables but no one recognize the phone even in mass storage mode..they only charge it. The thing is that in Chile aren't available the usb cable for i617 just a few similars.

Think you're out of 'luck'. The only way I can think of is to purchase one off eBay USA & have it shipped to your address or borrow from someone with a BJII in Chile.
