Guest nLinked Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Remember that Samsung Promotion website with official updates but no UK update (http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/omnia/index.jsp)? Well, it doesn't contain the new UK update, but a very similar website does have it!: http://samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp. When you go to the site and pick the UK ROM, it will ask you for your current ROM version. I entered MSHG1 as that was the first and only official UK ROM since th Omnia was released. It then takes you to the update page. The UK one on that page is version MSHJ1. It has to be the new one because I got my Omnia back from the repair centre a few days ago and it came with the new XXHJ4/MSHJ1 ROM on it with a few new features. I made a thread about that too over here: http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-omnia-r...the-new-uk-rom/ So I am pretty sure the one on their site is finally the new UK ROM!!

Guest GTDave Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Shame that it does not work when you enter the BOHH5 (T-Mobile UK) version. It tells me that version is incorrect. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Could be a risky update if you try to update a branded Omnia. When I entered my old original Omnia version number (MSHG1), it accepted it says something about this new update should only be installed on the version you entered and not any other.

What network are you on? Are there any noticable differences. Can any T-Mobile branded phone users let us know if they have updated successfully?

Guest nLinked Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) i get this This Samsung OMNIA OS update file was customized for your Samsung OMNIA phone and operator. The file may not properly work on other Samsung OMNIA phones. however after bricking the last phone updating a voda handset am a bit wary now My Omnia is the original Samsung retail Omnia (not branded). I have just performed the update on my 2nd Omnia and it went flawlessly on Windows Vista. So if your Omnia is currently version MSHG1, then this new update should work for you provided you have an original non-branded Omnia. Not sure if other versions you enter are accepted so if it accepts your version then it should be updatable. The new ROM has a more sensitive screen response, the keyboard loads quicker and is faster to type on. The camera finally gave me a brighter image and I don't get that dark halo around the edges of my photos when taken with a flash in the dark like I used to on the old version. The clock settings page has a new alarm, memorial day and stopwatch feature with a smooth reflection animation. It also shows multiple world times if you want them dispayed. There are also 2 new programs that weren't in my old ROM: Rich Internet and Handango. Haven't tried them yet, still need to configure my Wi-Fi security on it. So far, a much better update to the poor experience I was having before. BTW I have 2 Omnia's (might sell one). One I got back from Samsung Repair Centre and it came back after 3-4 weeks. I think they were waiting for this new ROM before sending it back to me, so that at least I'd have a new version after repair. On my 2nd Omnia, I have performed the above UK update on Vista, and it went perfectly, and is the same new version as the one I got back from the repair centre.

Guest aftershockvibe Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) If you look through the page source you will see the following links are possible to get to from the java script: (Each have a Vista version as well, just change the XP part) MS firmware: http://samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/uk/subMs_xp.jsp This directs you to MSHJ1. AC firmare: http://samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/uk/subAc_xp.jsp This directs you to ACHJ2. Also, the following "promotion" URIs are commented out. Presumably used previously... ? BO firmware (Does not work): http://samsungmobile.com/promotion/omnia/uk/subBo_xp.jsp BC firmware (Does not work): http://samsungmobile.com/promotion/omnia/uk/subBc_xp.jsp AC or MS on Vodafone (replaced by original two): http://samsungmobile.com/promotion/omnia/u...ne/vodafone.jsp Also directs you to ACHJ2 Edited November 18, 2008 by aftershockvibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest marind Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Im so tempted after another day of 20% battery at 6 o'clock because i used the internet twice and made 2 short phone calls after a full overnight charge. I typed in achh3 when it asked for omnia version and it let me through to the download page, Im just a bit nervous about losing the vodafone warranty if it all goes wrong.

Guest zkyevolved Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Anyone!!!??? it seems like your only choice. There's nothing you can do if it's stuck @ 7%. unplug, restart, and try it again. But don't take m yword on it. But hey! If it's still on 7% ... after 30 minutes! Well, you have nothing left to lose. Flashing for me took a total of 4 -5 minutes to do EVERYTHING. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
