Guest mik3y Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well, I have been trying for days to get the combinations right so I have given it my best shot - and failed! No matter what I configure I always get the "incorrect sofware version" message. So, I am laying at the feet of the experts and asking for a simple guide. I have no problem with the mechanics - (now!) with Hex edit and registry changes. In short I am currently on PDA i900DXHH1\DXHH1 and want to upgrade to the new UK ROM, MSHJ1. What do I need to add to the Update file and what should I put in the Omnia registry? I have re-set the phone to UK. TIA Ok, BACKUP FIRST (Including My Storage)!!! Install Samsung modem driver!!! 1. Go to Samsung website, chose UK, enter MSHH1 and take the latest firmware. 2. Change the phone to UK(see step 1) - after reboot don't enter SIM pin or discard the message to change to your local operator. 3. Change the version in the phone's registry to XXHH1 (if it's still not working try MSHH1) (see step 2). 4. Extract UPDATE.EXE (see step 3). 5. Hex edit UPDATE.EXE ... search for i900XX and change it to i900DX 6. Update the phone. 7. Change back to your country. Flashing may kill your phone ... Let me know if you succeed or if you have any other questions/problems :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pdes Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Let me know if you succeed or if you have any other questions/problems :rolleyes: What a hero! Thanks - success at last. For the record it failed to validate using the XXHH1 but was fine when changed to MSHH1. I have lost a load of settings (restoring with Sprite) but at least I have the ROM! Thanks again!
