Guest MrJoneswii Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi there i too am a bit lost i have the following firmware version JCHH1 which update rom will you recommendif there is one available for my region Thing is that it's always good to put the latest firmware on your phone but just look around and read what people think about it. I'm using the HK3 now and it's been very good, excellent battery life, etc... Be very careful when flashing roms that are not official samsung roms, cause that causes your warranty to be voided.

Guest nepa Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) I'm kinda lost here.. :) Does it really matter which region rom are you using? I live in Finland, so can I use UK region ROM? That site you posted above isn't really working for me, or I just dont know how to use the site. Its telling me that I have entered an incorrect version. I have DXHK1 now and I'm trying to get the HK3. So would it be possilbe that I use 'XXHK3' ROM? Where can I get it? :rolleyes: EDIT: Found "DXHK3" now. Is there really any difference between the region things? Like XXHK3 and DXHK3. EDIT2: Uhm.. tried to install that DXHK3 I found but it said I have wrong version atm. In the samsung's support site, when I select the region, any of the "DX" regions, it won't even ask what my mobile's version is at the moment. It just lets me download the DXHK3, but it doesn't work.. is there any other way to get a HK3 rom? Edited January 7, 2009 by nepa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones you downloaded should work, try this little fix for an incorrect version message: Press the 'dial' key to the left of the optical pad to bring up the dialerWith the onscreen keypad input *#1546792*#Select 'Preconfiguration'Enter code *#81230*# and select OKSelect 'Singapore', with the default OperatorAccept this, DEVICE WILL HARD RESETRun update, and all should be well.

I understand this means UK 2008 July, but what does the MS mean?? The MS stands for a code that is allocated to an operator. Did your phone come with a vodafone/Orange,.... branding, cause I don't know exactly which operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your phone come with a vodafone/Orange,.... branding, cause I don't know exactly which operator. Yeah it was branded ... to a swdish operator ... But I have now managed to burn a new rom to it ... and it works great ... I first used secanys rom ... and after that I was able to burn original roms if I wanted ... so I guess the "branding" is gone now ... hehe kind of fun !

Guest simma Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 hey guys, a bit of help would be appreciated if you could have a quick looky at mine to. PDA: DFHJ6/DFHJ6 PHONE: XXHJ1 So based on this forum I am assuming that the "DF" bit should be telling me which region the phone is from...but it isn't in the list? The rest tells me '2008 October version6' right? I am in AUS. Also I had a look at the International Samsung Omnia link for a update but Australia wasn't listed? (http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp) Thanks in advance for the your efforts...also a noob :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My version is: PDA: i900BUHJ2/BUHJ2 Phone: i900BUHI2 I purchased this in January 2009. Average battery life.... about 2 days with moderate use.

Guest MrJoneswii Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 It seems that both DT and DF are Australian roms. Did you by any chance have the phone from Optus, cause most people with an Optus phone have a DF region code. And yeah, i know, Australia is not on the list. Sorry dudes. But you can install any version you want, even the latest official one from the Philippines DXHK3. just search for "incorrect version" here.

Hmm...so your saying I can install a ROM from ANY country? Also you say search for "incorrect version" here...what do you mean by that. Do you mean to just look earlier in the thread? An when I replace the ROM will my phone say incorrect version or is that a maybe? Thanks for the assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When installing a rom from another region, you'll get a message saying "incorrect version" and the updater closes and will not enable you to change rom. However, the smart minds here at Modaco found ways to go behind the version check and will let your phone be updated with any rom from any country, especially official samsung roms.

Guest blert596 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well I now have my shiny new Omnia 8G :) I've had a fair old play with it this morning and most of the features seem pretty intuitive really, although I have ended up in amongst things I didnt really need to a couple of times. I've checked the ROM version(?) and it comes up as: PDA:i900XXHH7/BOHH5 Phone:i900BOHH2 From another thread i think I can work out the following but purely taking it from the PDA settings XXHH7 means that its Spain (open market?) August 08 release and version 7. Is this right? BOHH5 means that its T-Mobile (germany although I'm in UK) Aug 08 again and version 5. Is this right again? What do the phone codes mean and why are they different to the PDA codes? Mine is i900BOHH2 I went onto the Samsung website to check for latest updates and no matter what I type in from the above it just keeps coming up with incorrect version. Is this because its an operators version and not a genuine Samsung release? In another thread Paul advised that I should get rid of the T-Mobile Monstrosity ROM, which I'd like to do as soon as I can. Although I'm getting a little confused as to what ones to choose for a first time attempt. Im also looking around for some themes that take my fancy at the moment. There's some cracking work been done on them. Is the Manilla 2 stuff different to the SPB shell stuff? Can they co-exist with each other or would I just be duplicating stuff? Any useful tips of what to get to get rid of the T-Mob branding and interface would be most appreciated. Cheers Billy I'm thinking of load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
