Custom ROM: MoDaCo DTHJ9-MCR03 - Last update 03/11/08

[Guest Yunabeco]

There have been reports of flashes working in VMWare (make sure it's in full screen when you use it). I don't have any particular thread to point out, but a search should clear that; you might want to try it.

As for me, I've kept a little XP partition ever since I upgraded to Vista. Was more useful than I expected.

Hi..

I've updated to this rom. So far so good.

But just to check if bluetooth is working? I can't seem to receive files using bluetooth from my laptop. I get this "Remote device does not support service" error.

Anybody can clarify or is it just me?

Thanks.

Is 'Beam' enabled in Start -> Settings -> Connections?

hmm in order to stop bringing my omnia to school and flashing it with the horrendously slow computers, i installed windows xp onto my windows vista computer...messed with the bootloader but now it's okay. the effort taken to install windows xp should IMHO be negligible compared to the advantages gained by being able to flash your phone now and then as and when you like, and at any time in the comfort of your home...

by the way, updated to MCR02 :lol: was successful. only thing is gwes.exe crashes noticably often but ah well small problem

I can confirm that this works. I've upgraded my ROM three times using an XP virtual machine on my Vista laptop - no problems at all here.

After 2 days using MCR2, I am happy with it, but somehow I think it is less stable than the (non cooked) ROM's I've had before... I have device.exe crashes once in a while, and sometimes it seems to hang. I also had sometimes troubles with the Samsung SIP within IE... AppToDate gives a fatal error just after starting it (not sure how to use it though).

Btw, these issues could be related to DTHJ6, and not necessarily to the cooking of the ROM obviously...

Anyone else has experienced (part of) this too?

EDIT: One more issue I have had twice already... when shutting down the Omnia (holding power button), it freezes on the splash screen and the sound hangs for a minute or so. This happened when the Omnia was kind of hanging and I tried to shut it down to reset.

Flash done today with the MCR02. No problem except the "port create failed" because the CDMA device was connected for the first time. Win XP was too long to install the drivers (Samsung drivers was already installed).

I reflash the device and it's ok. It's a great rom and Opera 9.5 build 2520 is nice. Well done Paul.

bluetooth is not working? I can't seem to receive files using bluetooth from my laptop. the laptop get this "connection failed " error.

many thanks for answering my noob question

like it says in the first post, install modem driver and make sure Sync works and after just start the ROM the grandprix will open within the rom so don't care about it.

Good luck

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the new Cook ROMs

But for DTHJ6-MCR02 the trick to put Chinese SIP CSC then sunfon.ac3 does work SIP came out but not the Chinese fonts.

I believe Sunfon file not is not the correct version for dthj6.

Anyhow I will revert back to Black Daimond 1.0 for the time being, as Chinese SIP works, I believe BDaimond ROM the sunfon was not remove.

Thanks again.

[Guest Pille69]

when come a new optimized version ?

[Guest lohasc]

hi paul,

before i flash back to black diamond v1.0 I try DTHJ5-mcr01, the Sunfon trick doesn't work either, hopefully nothing wrong with my Omnia.

Just flash back to Black Diamond. and...... the Chinese SIP ........still waiting for reboot.......works without add the Sunfon, ie Sunfon was not remove from the orginal HJ1.

Ok, 2.5 hours hard work, time for lunch.

Thank again for your hard work.

[Guest pep1]

- Removed IRDA files

- Added .net CF 3.5

- Added AppToDate

- Added Batti 2.4

Stats after fresh boot:

Program Memory: 97.27MB, 61.41 free

Feedback welcome :lol:

I know lots of people are waiting for a 'clean ROM', but I'm not sure there's a huge amount of benefit. I removed Shozu as it was running at boot, most of the other stuff just sits there until you need it... and we're not exactly short of space are we? ;)

Hats off to everyone who made this possible, secany, mrtoto, the PDAMobiz peeps and anyone else i've left out :o

After update to MCR02 rom my bluetooth stops working, (omnia doesnt suport file transfer services, conection failed, FTP services not available) !

When i look to bluetooth setings there is no com port, "tap new outgoing port", but there is no option to do that...

Anyone has the same problems?

Thanks for answers!

Yes these were my problems, and also bluetooth....

[Guest lufeig]

omnia is going to be released here in brazil in november.

it wont be named OMNIA, but SAMSUNG TOUCH WIZ.

in the countries where omnia was released with another name, is it possible to flash the ROM with these files posted here?

i bought a singapore omnia, so i was thinking if i could flash it with a brazilian rom because of the brazilian portuguese wm6.1

tia,

Bluetooth, hmmm, maybe removing the IRDA package actually breaks some BT stuff?

Just been testing this for you:

I can synchronise with mobile device centre(activesync) over bluetooth.

Browsing mobile directory structure and copying/pasting files to and from mobile device centre seems fine.

I can also send files from Omnia to laptop using bluetooth (not in conjunction with activesync).

What i cant seem to achieve is sending files from laptop to Omnia over bluetooth file transfer. (As i mentioned above... doing this with activesync is fine).
