Guest brunopais Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Grand Prix should pick up the device when you hit the reset pin. FWIW I successfully flashed that HH1 BIN file before recommending it to you... P I did it on my own risk, so no blaming from me. Regarding the reset pin, I have tried it, but XP doesn't recognize the device anymore. Tries to install a new driver....... I reinstalled the Samsung modem driver with no success.

Guest last21 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I flash my Omnia with this H1 ROM. All went well. The problem possible is your computer or may be damaged BIN while download. Before some of the members mention that they have problem with original G4 from Samsung site also. Some of the members flash Omnia sucsesful with G4. Conclusion possible problem with different phone motheboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robertoaitor Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Grandprix with vista, I could upgrade to version XCHG5 without problems, but if this is costing me, anyway there is no possibility of getting an update .EXE for vista.

Guest natzakaria Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I don't think you need the modem driver as this is only PDA flash. It doesn't hurt to install it anyway as you might need it in the future. Do I need to change to Singapore setting? or just run it on the fly?

Guest bulgarian Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 OK another one bites the dust Ran the HH1 Installed 100% then it hung. Restarted phone and stops at OMNIA screen Any fix? Your phone is fine. Me and Jeffharris had the same problem. I manager to fix mine last night. Hopefully this will work for you as well, same exact problem. I used XP and the newest version of grandprix from http://rapidshare.com/files/13923582...dPrix.zip.html . Then i downloaded this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=114 it is a portugues rom but it contains the image file that fixed my phone. I then opened grandprix 1.8.1 for xp and loaded on the EBOOT+PHONE+PDA(+CSC) button and loaded the image file. Then i pressed the button and grandprix automatically created all the necessary files. I then checked the box start downloading automatically and pressed detect. Soft reseted my phone while still connected to usb and grandprix started downloading. After that the phone booted andi was so happy to see it boot i didnt carry about the portogese. This morning i downloaded the G4 Rom from chaind http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418917 and loaded it in the PDA the only box i checked was start downloading immediately and i pressed detect. Soft reseted my phone while connected and the image was loaded. Phone worked and is now in english. Thank you chaind, texture and all you guys who keep giving awesome advice. I've learned alot and will NOT mess with my firmwre until i learn more. Before you do this read that thread throughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SS2006 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Why is this happening from the start? some phones getting this freezing problem after updating, and some phones updating just fine does it depend on where the phone was made (singapore etc..)? maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm going to create a 'what to do when your update goes wrong', but the above post summarises it pretty well, providing you haven't made a mistake yourself and toasted the radio area for example. Steps I did when I was experimenting: - Download Portugese ROM from here - Run GrandPrix on XP - Click the button to load the IMG file (which combines all the parts) - Click detect - Plug device, and press reset pin - Wait for it to complete - Boot the device, connect with ActiveSync - Flash HH1 This actually has a fringe benefit, in that you end up with HG5 radio rather than HG4 :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
