I'm starting to believe it might actually be possible to tweak existing radio firmware to unlock UMTS 850/1900Mhz bands using already embedded secret debug menu from Samsung developers, rather than having to dump it, reverse it, patch and flash back. Here is the secret code to access Root Debug Menu on Omnia: *#197328640#

(All the sub-menus are also accessible directly using similar codes. I've posted rapidshare link to a couple of files that contain those codes, as well as very useful

registry tweaks, at the end of this post. Please mirror it, as I used free rapidshare account, good for only 10 downloads)

Anyway, option #4 "UMTS rf nv" has sub-option "umts rf nv write", which I think allows to modify the active UMTS bands in the radio. Assuming we have that set correctly, option #9 "Common" from the same Root Debug Menu has sub-option #5 "WCDMA Set Channel", which allows to specify downlink channel range.

Here is my idea: some devices, such as HTC Diamond with US 3G enabled radio, have the same Qualcomm chip as Omnia, and run the same WM 6.1 OS. So,

I'm thinking it's worth a shot if someone with US enabled HTC Diamond provided us with settings from his device for those 2 configurable menus I just mentioned. If you backup your own settings, so you could restore them if it doesn't work - I think trying settings from another device will not fry the radio, worst case scenario transceiver will just shut down and be offline until settings are restored.

Here is the link for the stuff i mentioned:

By the way, I would have started a new thread for this issue as it fully deserves it, but unfortunately it looks like I don't have forum privileges to do it.

a lite version could be considered just windows core part..

have you though of setting up a repository with the remaining cab files, so that everyone can install whatever he/she wants afterwards via a simple web interface ?
