Guest z33k3369 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 In easy settings the power button shows me as 75% currently, so check easy settings OK... I'm getting that reading......
Guest JamesBond007 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 I'm on a Windows 7 machines, installed the Samsung Drivers, and when I use the UMLD I make the selections, however it never finds a device, even after I click the Detect button. I can use the WMDC to get to the device at the same time, not sure why I can't flash. I'm still at the step of updating the image to i910WM6.1.REV10.CC20.VZW.img Anyone have any ideas. I also tried this from my Vista machine with the same results.
Guest azskycop Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 In easy settings the power button shows me as 75% currently, so check easy settings I also checked under easy settings and it does give % of power. Same "bar only" if I check it from regular settings. Sounds like for some reason our phones did not take the 5% or the weatherbug. Don't know if I'm willing to try another re-flash for that.

Guest rosenhauer Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 No...what you see is what you get. I don't know about you but having one utility that will display 5% power readings is a long way from actually having 5% power increments. I want Bati and S2U2 and TrackMe to be able to read better than 20% chunks.
Guest deviant24x Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 Just to update on my (unfortunately) bricked phone. I believe that what my real problem was, is that originally I used a different site for directions and went by the numbers from their directions. http://knguyentu.com/wordpress/2009/04/ver...eta-rom-leaked/ The problem with their directions is that they leave out what may be a crucial step... and I would need someone to verify this, but they have as a download SamsungUSBDriver.zip, yet none of the steps mention that it has to be used. I flashed the new Rom from the umdl and got to the phone part where the software stopped on my computer and told me that the phone would not update, and had a message in red stating this in the device update. My phone continued flashing the do not disconnect message despite nothing happening on my computer. Eventually, after waiting for several minutes, I removed the phone and did a soft reset. HUGE MISTAKE!!! Anyways... once I get my replacement phone I think I might end up waiting for the "official" update. Hopefully it won't be too long... Can anyone verify if my problem was with not using SamsungUSBDriver? Or was there something else I could do when the umdl stopped at the phone step after flashing the rest of the software?

Also, did you turn OFF "allow usb connection" on your computer under the active sync settings?
Guest anamelesssomebody Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 It probably would... usb 1.0 is ancient My ancient usb1.0 flashed phone is working just fine. :excl: much better than new. :excl:

Guest razorback489 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 Ok I'm stuck at the same spot as everyone else was. It tells you to click on this "Click the "EBOOT+PDA+PHONE(+CSC)" button." Instead of that I have the "Unified Image File (*img)" button. Clicking that brings up the window asking for the image. This is where I'm stuck. What image am I supposed to use? Thanks in advance.

The one you downloaded :excl:
Guest razorback489 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 The one you downloaded :excl: The only thing I downloaded was "UMDL_OMNIA_v2.3" That doesn't show up in the window to click on. So I typed it in manually and every line filled up with "Select the Correct Unified Image File!" I feel like I'm missing a file.

I dont wanna risk ruining my phone, so is there an actual image file that needs to be downloaded or something?

Thats not gonna work! :excl: Grab the img file. Links are somewhere around here.
Guest razorback489 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Im also stuck with this. I dont wanna risk ruining my phone, so is there an actual image file that needs to be downloaded or something? Ok bro I figured it out. Go back to page 1, you have to download the "Megaupload link for new Firmware ". The third file down. Then thats the file you click on for the image. I thought that was just the pack of the .exe and the .pdf so I didn't grab it. I'm flashing my Omnia as we speak. Thank you Adrynalyne! Ok just finished. My phone is running way smoother. Messing around with it right now to get everything back to the way I liked it. Works perfect so far. Thank you to everyone!!!! Edited April 15, 2009 by razorback489
Guest Solange82200 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 I was under the impression that everyone had to install the Samsung driver. I would say that not doing so is skipping a crucial step. I feel like as if everyone keeps changing the instructions around from what originally worked, and a lot of people are ending up with bricked phones. Can we agree on one set of instructions and quit giving people conflicting advice please?
Guest scstoney Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 How can I get the WeatherBug widget to work. Am unable to select my location. Thanks

FYI... if you cant face the fact that something might go wrong, especially on something we arent supposed to have, then you shouldnt try this.... dont blame us for it, it isnt our fault...

I wasn't trying to single you out, and my phone flashed just fine. What I'm referring to is some people putting the phone in Active sync mode, others in USB mode, some saying you have to have the Samsung Driver, some saying you don't... I'm not blaming anyone for phones bricking, I know that happens, but I can see why so many people would be confused.

Guest jbr05ki Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 After flashing with this ROM, I can't access BofA via the Opera Browser. I did a hard reset and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Guest razorback489 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 After getting everything back to normal, I started installing all my old programs. Now I keep getting errors and it keeps asking if I want to send my errors or not. Gonna flash it again, maybe it didn't like the program I installed.

Any suggestions? Thanks! do you have to turn on flash for it? or enable java script in the settings? see if it will work in internet explorer or download skyfire and see if it will work... if it does than change the settings in opera

No problem, you were just stating your opinion. I agree with you 100 percent
