[Guest Hedrox]

i try to flash Russian firmware on Ukrainian phone (same language ) - Wrong Software Wersion

[Guest Bob-]

waiting for English version!

[Guest adiel]

it seems that there is only one version and one can choose which language he prefers. check out the "upgrade instructions" it also includes screenshots. i've tried downloading the upgrade but my serial number gets rejected for some reason.

can anyone provide a direct link to download?

At the moment they only support netherland and russian phones

[Guest neilg]

well my UK serial number worked on the nethrlands website (remember to use the serial number behind your battery NOT the IMEI number of your phone.

I am currentrly waiting for the ROM update to download - sloooooow, it seems to be from a generic US ftp site so I am hoping it is a generic version,but will see how much damage i can inflict on my phone though impatiece of not waiting for the official UK version shortly and report back.

if it works i am not sure what the position is on posting - it is an official update - Paul? Moderators??

Seems a bit odd if it is generic that there should be a delay for the other verisons, unless of course there is some problem with the service providers not being happy about releasing WM6 at no cost. Still this is just speculation.

Let us know how you get on :)

Could we get some general feedback from users who have installed this ROM? I'm particularly interested to see if Skype 2.2 beta for smartphones works with this WM6 ROM? (download here)

[Guest neilg]

well - i still maintain that the link looks completly generic, but I too have the 'wrong version, please check device' message on trying ot install so I guess I will have to wait for the correct version, which probably means waiting for the portuguese version since that's where my phone appears to have been supplied from!! If anyone has actually managed to instal this and get it up and running, woudl be really interested to hear!!

[Guest nuttyp]

I have a dutch phone, 'wrong version, please check device' (version i600XXGC2). What kind of version do you need?

i must confess that it slightly puzzled me - the link looks so generic I am wondering if there is problem with the package. Has ANYONE sucessfully used it?

i agree! we need someone who can write a patch to bypass the version check

[Guest neilg]

OK have seen a bunch of posts elsewhere on this (including the unwired again - thanks Arne :-) ) Basically dutch phones have a software version (start>setings>7>7>5) that starts i600UXX. If your phone has this version you are laughing. If it stats with anythign else (like i600XXG) you are stuffed, although I am sure the XXG version will appear soon or else someone will work out a way to change the software version number on the phone or patch the updater if anyone is that desperate!

[Guest Hedrox]

What kind of version do you need?

i think is wrong language version or country code , we need extract firmware bin from exe

[Guest pierre]

How to do that?

[Guest hepics]

To download WM6 from the netherlands website

On the first screen enter the version number i600XX999

On the second screen enter your First Name, Last Name, E-Mail, Country and Serial Number of your fone (remove battery and check the last number (S/N:) on the label just under the barcode.

Download the Upgrade :)

Or you can just download directly using the following samsungmobile.com links (I hope mods won't mind, these are generic links on samsungmobile.com itself)

http://fus.samsungmobile.com/i600/ActiveSync_Dutch_setup.msi (ActiveSync 4.5)

http://fus.samsungmobile.com/i600/Samsung_..._modem_4.34.zip (Modem Driver)

http://fus.samsungmobile.com/I600/i600UXXupdater.exe (WM6)

I am still downloading so can't tell if this will install on non-netherland phones or if it has english language support.

Update: Updater is not updating. Gives the error: "Incorrect software version. Check the device". I am trying to patch the updater to accept my device.

[Guest energylab]

I have the same issue, incorrect version, Im using an Australian i600 . Im glad others are having the same problem, at first i thought there would be no hope.

If someone can patch the updater, that would great!! :)

[Guest utp_]

I am currently at work so I do not have the cable to try it out yet...

<_<

But wonder would this do the trick?

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\MITsMan\SWversion to i600UXXGD1 (or G Whatever your version is.)

Use at your own risk, as I stated, I do not have the cable with me and I haven't tried it yet...
