Guest dan1978 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I upgraded to i900DXHJ1 firmware a few weeks ago, and now I want to install the UK MSHJ1 firmware. I have changed the registry key for the version to MSHG1 but it still won't let me upgrade, I was wondering if there is a way around this, also is the MSHJ1 firmware version for an unbranded i900, if not can somebody tell me which is the correct version? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fursie Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Can anyone confirm any success upgrading a TMobile branded omnia? My current version is BOHH5 which isn't being accepted by the site here http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp Tho' a quick look at the page source shows a redirection for BO versions to http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/omnia/uk/subBo_xp.jsp All very odd. I am having this problem also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck whatsoever. Not straight from T-Mobile and even after debranding and going to HJ1 i still can't do this one.

Guest Eyedesign Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I upgraded my MSHG1 to this earlier this evening. I'm on Orange (unbranded) This update has made a huge difference to me. The phone works faster and seems a lot more stable for starters. I also now have haptic feedback when texing, a selection of rotation animations & the screen seems to be responding a lot better. There are also a couple of new programs. Rich Internet & Handago InHand. ( Can't see me using either of them but i didn't lose anything ) Also like has already been said, My storage & Storage card are not affected by it at all. You'll just need to re-install any programs. Oh and igo8 installed first time since updating the firmware, it has never done that before.

Guest sydk Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi, I have tried running the new firmware and it tells me that windows mobile device center is not installed...but it is and connects to my omnia when i plug it in. I have Vista Ultimate and have MSHG1 firmware. any ideas? Thanks. Im getting the same, Vista Ultimate 64bit and DXHH1. Any ideas anyone? Just out of curiosity, the 'incorrect version' fix, Im assuming the registry editing is done on the PC not the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eyedrive Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Just updated firmware from MSHG1 to MSHJ1 and the phone is a lot more responsive. Small problem though. I'm using the Samsung widget today screen and tried the widgets to make sure they were all working but the status widget that shows network provider/phone off information is now stuck on the today page and can't be docked back onto the widget bar. In fact it can't be moved at all. I have tried a few soft resets but nothing seems to solve it. Anyone else have the same problem after updating? Yes I have the same problem.........I tried a hammer and chisle and it still will not move !!! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bad-Co Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 as all the emails from samsung said that this was a beta version, its now been released on the offical promotions site http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp along with some other countries....

Guest kmurder Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 HI, I just tried to upgrade my uk voda omnia (achh3) with this latest firmware and it failed after first file, the omnia turns on and is stuck on the white "samsung omnia " writing on the black screen. I tried the emergency mode of the updating software and that doesn`t work either. is there is thing I can do to fix this ? it was working fine before i tried any help please. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xGEEZAx Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I guess if its a bug we could just send it off to samsung, say its got a glitch and they reflash it with new firmware. Safe as houses I too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and igo8 installed first time since updating the firmware, it has never done that before. B) I just tried to update my MSHG1 but the device updater said "The device already contains the newest firmware". I tried to update my device yesterday at a Service Centre, and they simply reflashed with the same i900XXHG5/MSHG1 that it came with. This must have to do with the Orange branding. Does anyone have any advice on a fairly risk-free way to get rid of the Orange branding? It is causing me all sorts of problems by not letting apps edit the registry, and I would really like to upgrade the ROM. I tried updating once before and ended up bricking my previous Omnia. This one came supplied SIM unlocked, but still Orange branded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maverick440 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Whats the best way of doing a full backup befor reflashing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nixes Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 When I run the update executable I get to the stage where I've ticked both boxes to confirm the phone is charged and synched, but when I press the button below it resets my phone (as it says it will...) and simply sits there without actually making any update. My phone version is still MSHG1. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or am i doing something stupid (this is my first time flashing)?

Guest Tiffer Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi, I have tried running the new firmware and it tells me that windows mobile device center is not installed...but it is and connects to my omnia when i plug it in. I have Vista Ultimate and have MSHG1 firmware. any ideas? Thanks. Hi, I had the same issue on two machines running Vista 64bit Ultimate, a PC and a Laptop. Both report the same probleam as your's even though I have had Windows Mobile Device Center installed for some time. I think it may be either an "Ultimate" or "64bit" incompatibility issue in my opinion. Luckily I have a old XP PC that I use for just these type of situations....Programs that won't run in Vista! On this PC I went to the Samsung update site, selected XP as OS and downloaded and installed the update sucessfully using ActiveSync v4.5. You have to do this as the update file is OS specific. I have an Orange branded phone previously running firmware MSHG1, sucessfully updated to MSHJ1. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bazooka_Boy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I was also having a problem installing the update on my vista machine (was on MSHG1), it would pass the checks but after the initial phone restart it did nothing.
