hold f8 just at beginning of boot up b4 any logo show

Doesn't work, but anyway, it DOES actually say that stuff about windows test mode version 7600 or whatever in the lower left, i didn't notice it at first, so that being said i shouldn't have to hold F8 at boot, right?  What could be the problem with it octans not doing anything after the detect button is hit?  Any ideas?

You only have to f8 while adding the correct drivers for you PC.
After that just flash using Octans  no more driver or f8 stuff...thank God  it was a pain I thought

ok so I got all the driver stuff working.  What could be the problem with octans not doing anything after detect, does this take a long time?  I hit detect and then plug the powered off phone into the USB port and nothing happens.  It just sits there and charges.  Am I missing a step?

your using Octans 2.14 full version not the mini correct?
your opening the rar file and extracting into a folder/
your opening octans and clicking on PDA
search for the folder you saver rar file in check on nbo file...
check boxes skip over waiting....check box start download...
then click detect of course your phone is off but connected with usb cable.

Yup, octans 2.14 full, everything that came in a rar has been extracted.  Is the nb0 file the only thing i need to plug into octans?  aside from the check boxes, i mean i installed the samsung CDMA modem 4-1-.34 I got the driver running unsigned from 2003 (on the properties)  I guess the only thing left is to try a different rom...? I'm trying AMD zero 23518 v2

I have to be doing something wrong, and the only thing i can think of is that stupid part about pressing F8 to allow unsigned drivers, I guess i'll just have to try an XP machine

Running Vista (not vista 7) on my PC and trying to flash to Ninja's rom.  

I'm able to load the version 5 samsung driver on my machine.  However, i don't have the option to select "XP SP 3" for the Octans' Loaded compatibility mode.  I only had "XP SP 2"

so i went with SP2.  Started up Octans, loaded Ninja's rom using the PDA button, checked the boxes "Skip over waiting for booting completely" and "Start downloading Immediately", clicked detect, and connected my phone to USB while it was powered off.

The Octan showed it was loading but it would stop at 3%.  I tried a second time and it stopped at 9%.  Tried a third time and octans stopped at 6%.

Anybody have anybody why this is happening?  Is this problem happening because I'm running Octans in "XP SP2" mode instead of "XP SP3"?

I'm able to get past my problem.  I was able to flash using another PC.  The PC i was using the first time around is known to lose the USB connection.

yeah That could be an issue   


Glad you got it Happy Flashing

It should also be noted, that for all that are having problems with octans not conecting to your phone.  If you are sure that you have done all steps right and octans will still not flash your phone. Leave Octans in detect mode and unplug/plug your phone's usb cable a couple of times.  Make sure that the battery icon goes away before you plug your phone back in.  i flash my phone at least once a day some time 10 times in a day.  At least once or twice a day if I am doing a lot of flashing octans will not detect my phone properly.  All I have to do is unplug and plug the cable back in a couple of times and it will detect it eventually.  I am using WIN 7 x64 and it is very common for me to have to do this in order for me to flash my phone.

"Bump"

for the new folks

[jjdavola]

Is this the best flashing guide out there for the SCH-i920 from Verizon?  FYI I'm a MAJOR n00b when it comes to flashing ROMs, so I need my hand held a little.  

But before I even consider flashing, my Omnia II was purchased by my firm, so I have to give it back to them in a year or so.  Will I still be able to connect to my firm's network with ActiveSync and use the phone without our IT people finding out about this?  Also will it simply be as easy as reflashing the original stock ROM to the phone before I would need to turn it in?

Finally, what's the best, most stable and lightest ROM out there?

Thank you!

AMDZero & Ninja both have nice "basic " roms.

Sorry if the "guide: doesn't read like a novel its mostly clip and paste I ain't no writer    BUT the info is there,

As far as  your IT people depends when they look at it as of now we can always go back to the DC23 rom by samsung by Flashing .
after you flash a few times its a no brainer...even I did it!!
I don't connect to a company network but I don't believe its a big issue but hopefully someone more qualified will answer that point.

Hope I helped a bit

Thanks!  It's just a little difficult to follow for a n00b since I have Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit.  If I had XP, I'd probably be flashed by now.  

BTW what do you mean by it depends on when IT looks at it?  I don't think they would even realize what I did to the phone if they had my phone in their hands, but I just didn't know if flashing it would somehow set off a red flag on the network for some reason since security is critical.  FYI my IT still hasn't approved Androids and only approved iPhones last September.

Are you saying once I would turn in my phone I would just simply have to flash THIS to my phone and I'd be back to the stock ROM?  If so, that would be sweet.
