How to flash Omnia using native Win7

[Guest Adaho0]

There is no problem with flashing if you have Windows 7. Really. If You see any errors, tell me about it.

Programs you need:

Samsung Modem Vista

GrandPrix Flasher for Vista/7

i900EXEcutor

1. Install drivers.

2. REBOOT computer.

3. Download and run Windows Mobile Device Center and check connection. If connected, proceed with 4 :)

4. UNCHECK allow to USB connections. It's really important to do this.

5. Download Your favourite ROM.

6. If it's .exe file, disassemble rom with EXEcutor.

7. Turn Off the Phone but leave it conneced to USB cable.

8. Run GrandPrix with option Run As Admin...

9. Select profile GRANDPRIX LV image.

10. Select LOADER and PDA files from folder with disassembled rom (folder created by EXEcutor)

11. Click DETECT and turn ON the phone.

12. If flashing dont start, click START DOWNLOADING

That's all. Nothing more.

I flash several roms with this method. Omnia still works :)

Hi Adaho0, thanks for this posting. My only comment is that I have quite unsuccessful in flashing when Windows Mobile Device Center is installed. I am using Win7 64bit Ultimate.

If it would help some more, I have replied in a similar post about my experiences (see link below). Again thanks and more power!

No chance to flash phone part this way under x64, sorry mate.

[Guest hnada]

No chance to flash phone part this way under x64, sorry mate.

thanks adahoo, does that means its not possible with 64 bit or could it be done with 32 bit

[Guest hnada]

Dear all, i was facing difficulty in flashing the phone part for my omnia on windows 7 64 bit, today i tried to flash with windows 7 32 bit, it succeeded and the phone part was flashed successfully even without flashing the whole rom, the samsung modem drivers was installed successfully on the 32 bit and i think that was the thing that made it go well, as installing samsung modem drivers over the 64 bit always failed. i hope this may help who wish to flash the phone part with windows 7

[Guest enigmalaur]

Good job! Thank you very much!

[Guest menghuizhi]

Wait. So this means that flashing on Windows 7 32-bit is okay but not on Windows 7 64-bit? :lol: (Without having to get a virtual workstation with VMWare a Windows XP CD or .ISO.)

[Guest Bahtiar]

Currently flashing on window 7 64 bit. No problem at all. TQ Bro. :lol:

Hi my friend I have a question:

I download a ROM that it's cooked to flash via Windows 7 and it has 3 files--> .nb0 .bin and .csc

BUT... When I use EXEcutor to disassemble any other .exe CustomROM it just create a folder with the first 2 files.

Is the .csc file necesary for flashing? Can I brick my phone without this file?

Please help, thanks in advanced!

Guys,

I apologize if this is off-topic but i need your help with the driver for Windows 7. I previously used Windows Vista and I had no problem connecting my Omnia I900 to my laptop but when i changed to Windows 7 it is looking for a driver. Hope you can help me. Thanks.
