Guest zlly20 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Hi all, Firstly, I have to say this forum is the best i900 forum ever. You guys rocks ! I can't resist the temptation of wm6.5 roms, I would like to flash my phone to one of the 6.5 roms However, I have been looking around and there is no suggestions as in how to flash a rom from my version of phone (Australian, Carriers is Yes Optus): PDA:i900DFHL1/DFHL1 PHONE:I900XXHL1 Any friends here have done this before? Can you guys give the steps how you did it. no need to be very detail. but I just need to know from my phone, can I flash straight to any of 6.5 roms? Or, I have to flash to one pariticular version of roms first and flash to the one I want ? Thx guys for your help.
Guest zlly20 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 come on guys, any pointers would be great!

Thx guys for your help. its not rockey science.. download a rom, run it and reboot your phone, then activate the rom.. There are many 'howtos' around if u do a search.. i'm on 3 here in Oz and have been on custom roms since day 1 of having my omnia.. 6.5 is fantastic, no more the speed issues.. i recommend khunanchai's roms for speed and useability and sectors for overall effects and beauty..
Guest zlly20 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 thanks nixxss, I will definitely try khunanchai's ROM. Just another question. How do I backup my original rom before flashing, just in case I want to fall back to original for warranty purpose (can I still have warranty if I fall it back?).
Guest vermillionman Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Hi fellow Aussie, I flash my phone which was an optus software loaded phone with other flashers and i sent my phone off when i Smashed the camera on it and they flashed it back to theeir default samsung au version with no issues. And i just keep flashing with new flashers once a week. So what i would i flash as much as u like. Try some new roms. I found Sectors 230001 rom which is the new 6.5 to be the best one for me. Ill find the updated Australian version rom which is ver 6.1 for u and post it here for ya. Just in case u dont like the newer experimental roms. :) Edited July 26, 2009 by vermillionman
Guest vermillionman Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) u need this to flash SamsungModem_xp.zip and u need to have Windows XP. Vista is a bitch... Here is the Australian latest ver if u need to go back... http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zhnm1jzgmnf You might want to check this out... http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zhnm1jzgmnf Have fun...

How do I backup my original rom before flashing, just in case I want to fall back to original for warranty purpose (can I still have warranty if I fall it back?). my mic is too loud and i can't turn it down so when on speaker phone other callers can hear their voice echo.. i took it to 3 service centre and they returned it saying they couldn't look at it as i had flashed it.. think about that b4 u flash.. however having flashed nearly all Sectors roms and now khunanchais' i would have sold my omnia by now.. windows mobile shits me... so hard to use without a stylus.. winmo 6.5 is a lot easier..

Guest vermillionman Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 how did u get the OZ one? what is in it? and what's the other one we have to check out? Fart....... :)
Guest zlly20 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 my mic is too loud and i can't turn it down so when on speaker phone other callers can hear their voice echo.. i took it to 3 service centre and they returned it saying they couldn't look at it as i had flashed it.. think about that b4 u flash.. however having flashed nearly all Sectors roms and now khunanchais' i would have sold my omnia by now.. windows mobile shits me... so hard to use without a stylus.. winmo 6.5 is a lot easier.. thanks, mate. But have you tried to flash back to original version of ROM then sent it back to service centre? would it work?
Guest zlly20 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Fart....... :) thanks vermillionman, but is there a way to backup the rom in your phone before flash? I understand you have posted the link, but that doesn't seem to be the same version to the one in my phone. I think it will still avoid the warranty, right ? thanks anyway for sharing.
Guest nixxss Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 thanks, mate. But have you tried to flash back to original version of ROM then sent it back to service centre? would it work? i did.. flashed to dxia5 and they said it wasn't the rom they shipped the phones with and so i must have tampered with it.. When i said i had installed the newest rom from the samsung site, they told me i should then contact samsung for warranty.. and not them as my phone service provider.. sigh..

Guest ignatious Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 sorry oz, wrong button. sent mine back to samsung brisbane after bricking with an old QBUS rom and they replaced the motherboard and installed a rom that was 3 mnths ahead of anything here IX1 (with a smile and under warranty!) so i stayed with that rom until these caught up ..... hahahaha. think i was lucky maybe ...
Guest nismohks Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 ive also got a 3 branded omnia and would like to backup the existing rom for future use. i tried to use lastnikita's dump tool, but that keeps crashing on me also, even if it did work, it would spit me out with some raw files. how would i get it back on my phone?

Hi ignatiou- IX1 = very strange rom id you have there. I = year = 2009 X = month = ??? (it has been for other roms A-L to equal 1-12 and/or Jan-Dec) 1 = first release that month. Can you post your five character rom id found in \settings\system\version. Should be like i900xxxxn. Thanks, Ron...

Thanks, Ron... got mixed up ron, i think it was IB1 ...... long time ago now :)
Guest ronaldb3 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) got mixed up ron, i think it was IB1 ...... long time ago now :) Yes, month B would be Feb. Most cooks are now using DXID1 = April, as base. Ron... Edited August 2, 2009 by ronaldb3
Guest nismohks Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 what roms are people having success in to use in Australia? i used the Zeus rom, but i cant get videos working on Three in Australia.
Guest nixxss Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 what roms are people having success in to use in Australia? i used the Zeus rom, but i cant get videos working on Three in Australia. i had the same problem and couldn't figure it out on Sectors roms.. they are really nice, but to use you have to give up on streaming vid from 3 site.. I had a problem with khunanchais roms too which i used 4 a while, but found that they are missing the streaming server app.. once u install this and put in the 3services connection u r flying.. u have to look for "MoDaCo_OmniaHH1StreamingPlayerFix_1_" it fixes it.. i moved back to original oz rom as i need to send to samsung for warranty.. i have an echo problem..
Guest ignatious Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 what roms are people having success in to use in Australia? i used the Zeus rom, but i cant get videos working on Three in Australia. oh crikey, i love them all! haha tried em all too, wish i could combine all 4 i now use
