i've also noticed that the code posted on Paul's 'How to Flash HH1 Guide' dosent work on my Voda Omnia, this makes me think there may be no way to flash the Voda Branded models, I have created a thread for experiances of those who have tried flashing branded models, would you mind updating that thread in more detail, i see it the the more on there the more chance more will add theire experiances, Just to note, you say you bricked two handsets already, what rom were you trying to install? update on thread:

I take it this removes the branding? I am worried if you do so you will lose the warranty from vodafone ;)

You don't need to do any preconfig work to flash the i900v.. just load up the EXE after a hard reset and battery charge and flash away ;)

You will lost your warranty.. however as you can see here http://forums.vodafone.co.uk Vodafone are working on an updated Omnia firmware that should be out sooner rather than later.. so if your phone clogs up for whatever reason just flash with the new firmware when it comes out.. ;)

Hey all

I've been waiting all week for my Vodafone Omnia to arrive. With baited breath I've been looking at all the ROM versions for a flash upgrade, their respective problems/improvements etc.

As I haven't received the handset yet there are things I wouldn't yet fathom, like why there's a PDA & Phone section etc.

Currently it seems as if HH3 is a wonderful upgrade but HI1 appears to make an impact too. I'm struggling over which version to flash, HI2 seems available too but I'm not sure how much improvement there is. Can anyone provide a benchmark comparison across these 3 version if they have done so? It seems Vodafone V firmware has no impact on the flash tests other users have done. I suppose the very first step would be to backup with PIM first, then choose a nice ROM version before thinking about FTouch SPB Shell etc. Any further advice?

maybe by the time you wanted to flash it back to voda, the fw will say "You are not Voda Supporter!" :wacko: so press the start button now at own risk
