Update Problem 0%

[Guest zyonbv]

Before posting in a new Topic I tried to figure out my problem in old Topics such as this one .

Problem: AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND STRAT THE FLASHING PROCESS on EBOOT DOWNLOADING IMAGE the flasher FREEZE!

The device is Samsung Omnia i908

My Problem is that I can't Update my Samsung Omnia i908 and I have tried in all possible ways! to be more precisely I will attach a image!

My Windows XP is good, has everything ok, like administrator rights and firewall.... everything is good.

My Omnia automatic powers on when I connect the USB cable.

My Omnia can't be powered on after shut down with the USB cable connected.

My Omnia has some Korean characters in weather and calendar widget.

My Omnia is unlocked.

I tried on different machines.

I tried with Vmware.

I had install activesync and modem drivers.

I have search all over the GUGAL before posting here!

I would be grateful if you help me solve the updating !!!!

Thanks in advance!

which rom did you use?

your phone working? or not

[Guest msvh]

You have a different phone. They just look the same but they have different hardware and quite possibly, different ROMs.

My Phone is working and I use WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20271 (Build 20271.1.3.2)

I tried with custom ROM for i908 and for i900 simple.

Underneath the battery is saying that is i900!

Use GrandPrix.

how? I can't find files for it.

I've attached the files for you.

How to use:

1) First open Executor to dissemble the rom (which is the .exe file)

2) Open GrandPrix to add the seperate ROM bits and pieces

3) Connect phone to computer and select "Detect" in GrandPrix

4) Turn on your phone and use a pin to restart the phone if it is not detected on first attempt

Make sure you have Active Sync or Mobile Device Center disabled (Mobile Device Settings -> Connection Settings -> Disable"Allow USB Connections")

Windows Vista and 7 should automatically find the Omnia driver on its own. No need to go in search of one.

USDL_GrandPrix_v1.6.4_VISTA.exe

i900_EXEcutor.exe

Thanks a lot. I will try in half a hour and then I will come with a reply. I use windows 7 on desktop and XP on laptop. For now I can't use the desktop computer and I downloaded Grandprix for XP to use it on laptop. After I have done dissemble the ROM I have 4 files: eboot.nb0, pda.bin, report.txt and userdownloader.exe . First two files are enough?

You just need eboot and pda, GrandPrix will detect them when it is time to add it. Never flash the phone part unless you want a useless brick.

Turn the sound up on your computer. When you turn on your phone, you'll here the connecting tune. If it is unsuccessful, you'll here the de-dum where the phone disconnects. Use a pin to restart your phone when this happens. You'll have to do this a few times till it finally connects, especially when you first attempt it since it has to install the necessary drivers.

Just make sure you have GrandPrix set to detect the phone.

Edit: It is actually better to just use a bent paper clip. Restart button is located on top of the phone next to the power button.

Hmm, try downloading an alternative ROM or an official rom of Samsung's website (http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp) and do the same thing with GrandPrix.

[Guest zyonbv]

On Samsung's website is asking me for Omnia Version which on my device is not written.

Download it from here instead: http://www.4shared.com/file/223008263/80bd...3534-DXIA5.html

[Guest zyonbv]

Same thing! I think I will go crazy!

[Guest Billus]

I'm quickly running out of ideas, sorry.

Try doing a hard reset then flash the phone.

1) Reset the phone using a paperclip

2) Immediately press and hold the call and cancel button until the format screen appears

3) Hit the call button to format

Try leaving your phone for 10 minutes or so, it can sometimes take a little while till it decides to download itself.

[Guest zyonbv]

I tried with hard reset! I will leave the phone 10 minutes. But I don't think it will work.

[Guest Jotalv]

I'm trying to update but it gets stuck at 16% of the process... 30 minutes pass already :(

[Guest zyonbv]

I think I will smash it.

[Guest Billus]

I think I will smash it.

Haha

Umm, yea, all I can recommend is just try and flash the official rom and wait...but if that isn't working, I dunno what else will...

[Guest blalive]

Try to update with ROM on this page.

[Guest zyonbv]

@Billus -- Thanks for your help.

@blalive -- The Rom you told me about is not working.

For me Samsung Omnia is the worst Phone ever and Original WM! :(

All Omnia users here is my post to help you fix your "ROM FLASHES FREEZING AT 0%". This fix is working completely for "00.ZH" or similar problems, and once it is done you can FLASH ANY ROM afterwards. I wish you all luck :)

Important

Bootimage_ZH

i908ZHIB1

Phone_i908ZHIB1

Executor3.0

GrandPrix XP or Vista

Battery fully charged

How to use:

Open GrandPrix and select "Bootimage_ZH (attached) " and select the rest of the essential files (pda -> phone -> csc). You can use "Executor3.0" to dissemble any rom (which is the .exe file)

** I was successful with "i908ZHIB1" as my pda part & "Phone_i908ZHIB1" as my phone part.

** Do a search for ZHIB1 if you do not have the above 3 files (in bold) **

I cannot upload all on here as the upload file size limited.

Now, connect the phone to your computer, "Detect" in GrandPrix, turn on your Omnia or use a pin to restart the phone if it is not detected on the first attempt

Mine downloaded to 100% but was not completely finished, however, let it go for about 5 mins more and then restart your phone. You should able to RE-Boot-in to Windows Mobile. Now you can "Flash" any ROM you like.

** because it passed through "00.ZH" problem so open Executor to dissemble any other ROM (which is the .exe file) then repeat the same steps outlined belows.

GrandPrix -> select boot image, pda, phone & CSC if is there -> Detect -> turn on Omnia and, it will finish itself completely about 2-4mins.

I flashed "ock_Manila_Classic_23118" is also fix my "Align Screen / Keyboard out of slip" and "network setting problems", all working fine on my :)

English "ock_Manila_Classic_23118" is new, fast, stable & easy to use, fixed all my Omnia problems.

Good luck man :)

Keep your Omnia, don't smash it, you can give it to me, no waste it, haha... :)
