Guest sorg Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Since i'm planning to move to Windows 7, i've tried OCTANS on one of my notebooks (Sony Vaio P90HS) with Win7. It didn't take long time to figure out working method. You have to follow guide precisely, otherwise it may not work! 1) download Windows XP x32 driver attached in this post. 2) Turn off your Omnia II 3) connect Omnia II to computer. 4) Go to device management console and update Samsung MITs driver with one you downloaded in (1). Make sure you didn't get error while updating driver. 5) Disconnect Omnia II from computer. 6) Grab any version of OCTANS (newer - better) and using right click menu open properties of OCTANS executable and set compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3 7) Start OCTANS and follow usual guide to flash your Omnia II. I've tried it by myself and it's 100% working. If it's not working for you then you did something wrong. Check my guide again more precisely and correct your mistakes. For x64 perverts, there is X64 driver attached. Guide is exactly the same, but i didn't test it because i hate to deal with MS signature checks. Only real perverters love Windows x64 and its signature hell :) X64 driver is not signed, so have a nice sex with WinX64.

Guest sorg Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) and by the way: Windows Mobile Device Center will remain functional because Omnia II recognized as 2 different devices: one is when it booted to WM and another when it powered off. So, if you are not stupid enough to update driver while Omnia II is in WM (many people don't like to read guides carefully), then updated driver won't affect WMDC.

Guest sorg Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Although it's not necessary, but this is applicable for Vista as well. OCTANS supports Vista, but very buggy. In XP compatibility mode with XP drivers it works better and doesn't crash on detecting stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ruffruff Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 had anyone tried the X64 drivers? Is it workable on Windows 7 x64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrzane Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) had anyone tried the X64 drivers? Is it workable on Windows 7 x64? Unfortunately, the driver won't install on Windows 7 x64 (at least with my setup). Windows complains about the driver not being digitally signed. I guess x64 users are still left out in the cold. :) Edited October 23, 2009 by mrzane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deepower Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Win7 users: Try unsigned/unproper driver enforcement in boot options. it may work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nunnox Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I tried to apply this to my Omnia Pro(Qwerty), but Win 7 says: You already have the latest firmware(but then in Dutch) for your device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kohanson Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) I'm glad to say that I have made windows 7 x64 to work on my computer! It is a painful process to go through but it is worth it.. I would like to thanks sorg and deepower for teaching and providing all the help! I will also come out with my simple guide to allow all Win 7 x64 user to enjoy what I'm enjoying right now. Instructions: 1. Restart your computer. At the boot screen, keep pressing F8 and you will be lead into the boot menu, select disable driver signature enforcement and click ok. (thanks to deepower) 2. Turn off phone, Connect USB cable, Click on Windows Start, click on Devices and printers 3. Select GT I8000, select hardware Tab, click properties, select driver tab. 4. Update Driver, select browse my computer for driver software, Click on 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer' 5. Select Have disk, select the directory where you have extracted the x64 driver and install from there. (thanks to sorg for the drivers) 6. After installation, switch on your phone. 7. Ensure your Octans is running in Win XP SP3 and you are good to go. Follow all the flashing ROM steps. 8. Click on Detect, Switch off your phone, the start download will be active. :D note: Please restart your computer everytime you need to flash the ROM to disable the signature driver enforcement.

Guest Triple Ace Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I am facing problem on "Start Downloading". After I click on Detect, "Download RAM size" shown. Then, I switch off my phone. But the "Start Downloading" word does not appear to black and allow me to click on it. Do anyone have idea? I am running on Windows 7 x32 and the driver is the latest now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
