WM 6.5 Beta Expired

[Guest ialex]

Hi guys, I'm in trouble

a few time ago I flashed a WM6.5Beta ROM; don't remember the name but this is the following version:

PDA: I900DXID1/HIDE3

PHONE: I900DXHK3

--------The Rom is now expired! <_< -------------

In order to bypass this problem I'm using the (30May 2007 trick)

The problem is that with this situation flashing new ROMs has been impossible:

(I tryed with Win 7 in XPMode and with WinxpSP3 the flash never starts)

Therefore I think that the problem is the registry key relative to the cooked ROM:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -->CONTROLPANEL--> VERSION.

I have two strings:

(Default)

(Value not set)

CustomVersion

HIDE3

Could anyone advice me the value to be changed in order to flash any ROM(particularly the latest B3?)

Thank You

lol. first time for me too. flashing in windows 7 it's easy and you don't need any vm crap. just do this

I have windows 7 x64 and i've managed to flash my omnia in about 5 minutes without any vmware and other stuff. You need this.

1. I900Executor

2. Vista Grandprix

3.Samsung modem driver vista version. (in my case i didn't need it. after restarting the phone windows detected it and installed the driver automaticaly)

4. One good rom (i recommend ock )

Install the modem driver

FIRST STEP.

You need to disassamble the rom with the executor. It will extract it in a new folder. In that folder you will have 4 files(eboot.nb0, pda.bin. phone.bin and customer.csc - this is for the stock roms. If you choose custom roms, most likely they will be without the phone.bin part and it will remain unchanged.)

SECOND STEP

Open GrandPrix

2.1 Choose Grandprix LV image in the "select profile" sectiom

2.2 Loader -> eboot.nb0

2.3 Pda -> pda.bin

2.4 CSC -> customer.csc

2.5 Phone -> phone.pda

Third Step . Uncheck the "Start download immediatly" button.

Fourth Step - Connect Omnia (make sure it's on active sync mode) and soft reset it. Press Detect as fast as you can. The "Start Download" should highlight. Press it. It will require to do so 3 times, for each component. And this is it. In about 5 minutes you will have a brand new flashed omnia. After flashing it will reset itself 2 times, so don't be scared.

This is about the flashing. If you get the network lock error after flashing, i also found a simple solution.

Get the PHM registry editor(it's free) and the Samsung Omnia Unlock (it's here on the forum).

1) Download attached ZIP file

2) Copy all three .lnk files to your Omnia

3) Open a registry editor and go to HKCU\System\State\PHONE, and write down the first 6 digits of IMSI entry (eg 22610 "Orange Romania"

4) Run Lock.ink

5) Enter the 6 digits you wrote down from above in the MCC/MNC section

6) As NCK, enter 12345678

7) Tap OK (it should tell that SIMLock enabled)

8) Run Status.lnk to see if its locked

9) Run Unlock.lnk

10) Enter code entered in point 6 (12345678)

11) You're Unlocked!

If you don't have the imsi entry active, just add a new string called IMSI in the registry, add some numbers(at least 8) but make sure the LAST 5 digits are those from your carrier(find it on wikipedia). After this stage, repeat the steps 4 to 11 smile.gif. Good luck. I hope i made myself clear . Good luck.
