Omnia ROM Flash failure at first hurdle!

[Guest dunc]

I am trying to flash to the new HH3 ROM, but the downloader is falling over at the very start. As soon as I press start (having powered up the handset), I get a message saying cFile:Open failed

Any ideas?

I have installed the CDMA modem driver, I am running WIN XPSP2 and the cable is connected directly, not via a hub. I get the same result with HH1 incidentally. Current ROM is XXHG5.

Many thanks for your help in advance

Exactly the same problem here. DXHH1 went smoothly 48 hours ago, but with DXHH3 I also get th cfile.open falied.

Ideas anyone?

Well, for starters you might as well give DXHI1 a try now.

I'm having different problems with that one, but others say it's good.

Same error at first, but I retried having my firewall turned off and everything went fine. Thanks

It worked for me in the end - I should have updated my post, very remiss - Don't think I did anything special, just a reboot and it all worked.

Hi. I just tried reinstalling the official DXHG4 rom, and that is the same rom as was in the phone when i started. i used the rom and followed the instructions from here: http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/omn...sub02_Vista.jsp

After "copying file 3" i got error "Port create failed"

and on phone i see the Samsung OMNIA splash screen with a green "progress bar" across the bottom of the screen.

I haven't dared to reset the device or do anything yet, but i have tried to start another flash, and that doesen't work.

HELP :wacko:

Update:

WOHOO.

I just pressed the soft-reset on the top and the phone restarted and booted up tu the "tap to calibrate screen". Before i got the time to calibrate it rebooted again to same screen.

Now, since i tried flashing from the same rom as i allready had, nothing's changed except from the fact that i will not try another update myself, unless i am convinced it's "safe" ;)
