Guest lastnikita Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Could you please point me to where secany released this ? I can't find it anywhere in this thread, nor in this forum... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest panateo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) thanks ! strange, the name changed from usdl to umdl.. Uman downloader ? :) the latest ROMs released are still using usdl 1.6.4, where did you find this one ? I don't trust it ! It's not a new Downloader, it's just the Multi DownLoader, that's why is called mdl and the other sdl (single downloader). umdl 1.8.1 is not newer than usdl 1.6.4 :D Hope this helps, Cheers, T.

Guest LUDIO Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Allright, I've found this here before (in the same thread) and it worked for me: Before you start check that you have all the 4 files needed, they will have names like Bootimage...nb0 , ....phone.bin , CSC....csc , PDA...bin. With the dots ... representing a version number. 00. Shut off the phone 01. Rename the files to eboot.nb0 , phone.bin , customer.csc and pda.bin 02. Turn off phone 03. run GrandPrix 04. Select a profile: "GRANDPRIX LV image" 05. Load "loader" with eboot.nb0, "pda" with pda.bin, "CSC" with customer.csc, "Phone" with phone.bin 06. I would chechmark "Format Devices Internal Large Disk" as it appears to work best. 07. Connect phone, turn on 08. Click on Detect button and wait... Until you are able to use "Start Downloading". 09. Push "Start Downloading" and the update will start. 10. In the right part of the screen you can follow the update process. I don't remember what message will be displayed but it must be something like "Job Done", "Job Finished" or whatever. 11. Disconnect the phone, start it up, do 1 or 2 hard resets and your done. To be on the save side and a little more complete I've added 6 points. I installed the samsung usb driver on a XP laptop and followed this guide step by step. But when I press detect and turn on the phone nothing happens, the "Start Downloading" button doesn't become usable and the phone starts as normal. I haven't installed the Windows Mibile Device Center but I read somewhere it is not needed, when one is using Grand Prix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LUDIO Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 ludio - restart the phone, can take a few times sometimes. Restarted it 5-6 times but same thing. The GP doesn't detect the phone. Also I updated the ROM using Samsung official site for updates but since I bought the phone from Italy the only ROM I could install was the italian one and it's in well... italian. I want my Omnia in english because I don't understand much of the italian stuff. Tried the trick Paul has posted with the location change to Singapore but it continues to say "Incorrect Software Version" when I try any of the official ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LUDIO Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ok I think I've f*cked up the phone. I used tha last ROM Secany has posted with the GP that was next to the ROM. I started the GP placed the files acordingly, pressed "Detect", started the phone and the downloading began on it's own. It got to: Calculating file parameters(DISKIMAGE).... Calculating file parameters(DISKIMAGE) Done!! OnDeviceChange: DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PDA Device 1 ready to download! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PDA 1 starts downloading... Don't plug it out until the label becomes blue!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EBOOT will be written. Total 1 PDA region(s) will be written . PHONE will be written. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commanding Device Large Disk Format... Downloading EBOOT... File Checksum: 399a6405 PDA Reboot to download Eboot twice!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And it stoped there the blue letters above were "waiting for reboot..." and the log said "downloading PDA..". I left it for 15 mins and thought it waited for me to reboot it so I pressed the on/off button, but it only turned red as if battery is low nad nothing happened. Now the phone is bricked I guess, since I can't turn it on. When I press the on/off button again it only turns red and nothing else happens.

Guest LUDIO Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Is this the first time you tried to upgrade your firmware? Yes, unfortunately.

Guest afarago Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yes, unfortunately. The worst thing is that there is no official Samsung Service Center in my country. I am sorry for you... What was your original firmware version? Some people say that it is advised to upgrade to an official ROM first (for very old ROMs for sure!), and only after that you are supposed to try a service, or cooked ROM. However, I have never upgraded to any official ROMs, and have not had any problems so far. It is also possible that your flash ROM was faulty on hardware level, and this is why the process have failed. "my country" - Which country would that be? You may consider adding some data to your profile to questions like this... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bobobird Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ludio - did you reboot your pc after installing the samsung driver ??

Guest bobobird Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ludio - sorry to hear that. Had been hoping that it would at least boot to get a reflash going. Could it by any chance be that you were very low on battery power when you started flashing ?? Try to see if it will recharge using the socket charger. Worth a last try. But it does appear that you may have to ship it back to where you bought it to have it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung’s official representative and importer for Bulgaria is local company K&K Electronics. Try to call them about Omnia service possibilities in Bulgaria, they may be able to tell you where to go: Company K&K Service Ltd.

The official Service center of Samsung in Bulgaria is the 2BE's one. It is located on Tsarigradsko Shose blvd., near Gorublyansko Hanche. I bricked my Omnia and they were ready to fix it, but I decided to use my french warranty and sent it to France. So give them a try. :) Edited January 22, 2009 by fifara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I got early in the morning, searched the net and found out that Germanos is an authorized service center for a bunch of brands including Samsung and I went straight to the nearest office and left my Omnia for service. I rally hope they will fix it and install an english ROM, cause that was the main reason I wanted to change my ROM. It was in italian before, since I bought it in Italy and I couldn't understand half of the menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
