HAHAH, for a moment I thought you wanted to flash Windows 7 onto your mobile :D But then I realized you meant to flash with. With that I can't help you. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nks Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 yep been flashing with windows 7 since the first beta release You just have to use Grand Prix to flash the phone its the same way as you would use for vista Regards Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midgo Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 i`ve upgraded to it and no flashing doesn`t work well, i'm now dual booting xp and windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonboyuk Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 It does work! I am using Windows 7 RC1 x64 and just flashed my omnia! You just need to make sure you use VMWare 6.5 and an iso of Windows XP. Works perfectly. Here's a guide for your information :D http://www.samsung-omnia.org/shokka9's...520854570e6bc38 Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maf107ezk0 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 If you use GrandPrix I don`t think there`ll be any problem :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bobobird Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Those who say it works (not via vmware) via grandprix - I presume the samsung drivers are still needed right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrJoneswii Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 doesn't it work with windows 7 in XP mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest R@v3n Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Those who say it works (not via vmware) via grandprix - I presume the samsung drivers are still needed right ? Yes it's still needed since Windows Update cannot provide the driver for it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Midgo Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) doesn`t work with VMware and defo does not work in windows xp mode, reason being with xp mode you can only run apps installed on the virtual xp machine, beofre anybody asks no you cant just connect i900 in the virtual machine as when the phone report it disconnects from the virtual machine and stops the update trust me i tried and all i got was a nice yellow triangle on my phone screen Edited May 10, 2009 by Midgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bruhaha Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) i can confirm updating ROM on vmware 6.5 with xp on it does work. about the the yellow triangle: it pops up only at the 1st time u update ur omnia....soft reset then start the whole updating procedure...well it worked for me:D btw it was on vistax64 few months ago..but it should be the same with win7x64 aswell....ill try it out when 6.5 roms will come out with official winmo 6.5 base :D Edited May 10, 2009 by bruhaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lonely2k5 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) It works with all WIN 7 versions... NO DRIVER needed as windows 7 find's the driver use grandprix 1.6.4 vista for flashing and it works ok flashed 20+ times with it win 6.1 and win 6.5 no problems until now p.s. it works without winxp mode that comes with win7 as my laptop doesn't support it so it's 100% it's not needed Edited May 10, 2009 by lonely2k5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shokka9 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 i have Windows 7 RC installed also, i still dual boot. Cant find my vmWare disc also :lol:? Think i might start using Grand Prix to update my Omnia, so i dont have to reboot :D Thanks guys...the difference between 6.1 & 6.5 ROMs will not make any difference as to whether you can flash it or not. It is not relavant at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vishalm Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have a dedicated XP Pro virtual machine using VMware workstation 6 just for flashing. Number of times flashed is close to reaching 3 digits. Never had a failed flash using either Vistax64 or Win7RCx64 except the first where a double flash was needed.

Guest Paul Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 XP is always a safe bet, especially for Omnia! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest requiem87 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Has anyone tried to update from within xp-mode, and can confirm if it works or not? I have w7 rc with xp mode, and it would make things alot easier if i could just use that. Phone pops up in activesync and everything seems fine. but i haven't dared to do a flash yet. -Req Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
