There is a new Nordic ROM avaible in

http://dev.samsungmo...omnia/index.jsp

website: XBIC1.

Althogh there is an even newer, Secany's DXID1, but it's a service ROM, not a factory one. So, XBIC1 seems to be the latest, newest official English ROM, since after flashing you can choose between some Nordic languages (Danish, Swedish, etc.) or English.

I would love to try it but the installer exe may have a sophisticated checking system, and doesn't allow you to flash if the current OS is not Nordic.

It would be very useful if someone could extract the parts of the ROM from the installer and make an installable WWE version with Grandprix, sorting out the unnecessary things (demo videos, etc.), like XRAY MAN did it with the DXIA5 ROM. (I tried to open the XP installer with Executor but I failed... I'm not an expert at all...)

I'm sure I'm not the only one curious about the new rom! So, I call for help from our great masters here in the forum! Thanks, in advance.

EDIT:

I'm not an expert but finally could flast it, thanks to Executor (and Pako777)

When trying to download the Firmware, I´m directed to the link:

http://nordic.samsun...s...60&coflag=0

which seems to be broken.

How did you figure out that there are other languages available in this ROM???

[viasat]

Somebody here http://www.samsung-o...o...om-(xbic1)/  have tested...
Please,if someone has i900XBHL1(old nordic rom) for xp,can be kind to upload it anywere (rapidshare,megaupload...) because the official link from here http://fus.samsungmo..._updater_xp.exe doesn't work anymore.
Tnx a lot
Cheers

The link now is really broken. Hopefully it's only a temporary problem. I could download the firmware two days ago without any problem.

A poster in samsung-omnia.org reported that it has different nordic languages plus english.

i Downloaded this today, and everything worked perfectly for me

I am happy because this was my first upgrade, and this worked very well.

i'm from norway and i didn't see all the languages, but i could see it was in norwegian swedish dannish english and i thin finnish

Certainly the official link is dead because there is a newer version avaible and Samsung always offers the latest ROM in its update page for every market, the previous version is removed.

[viasat]

I know,but maybe a good samaritan who downloaded it already can upload that version on public hosting!

I may know your plan: to flash the older version back and then, be able to flash the latest one, by passing the version check.

I would try the same if I could get an XB... service ROM that can be installed without version check. So, I second your appeal!

[viasat]

Yep,that's the plan.
I've searched hours with google,but the only links that I've found,are the official ones,and,of course,are all dead.So,the only chance is that somebody will upload the file somwhere,and let us know.
Cheers

viasat: Could you flash XBHL1?

I am just now downloading it... Ilkkes: THANKS!

But I'm afraid XBHL1 also has version check and won't allow me to install. (My current rom is DXID1.) But maybe registry edit will be enough, since it's an older rom with simpler check algorythm. We will see...

[micrographics]

I downloaded XBIC1 and am able to extract it. After extraction I found 3 .csc files customer.csc, customer2.csc and customer3.cscwhere as in singapore firware it is only one .CSC file.

Certainly you found multiple csc files, because with this rom you can install different languages after flashing! You should
1. Check with a simple hex editor which csc file is English, than
2. Publish somewhere the parts with the English csc file (or all of them, but making clear which is English, which is Danish, Swedish, etc.)

Would you, please?!

Thanks!

@tibor22
Sorry m8,I was gone a few days..now I'm back.I've flashed without problem XBHL1,changing the registry in Omnia,and with hex editor in update.exe the XB in DX ,and after that I've flashed in  normal mode with active sync the XBIC1.First impression is positive,but I'm not a power user,I need only a few things from my Omnia:for e.g the phone part is better,at least for me in Vodafone Ro,the signal is better in gsm,the battery last at least 3 days on moderate use.I'm not using gps,but I'll try to test it with I-go.If you to try something,please let me know.
Best Regards
