Help!! Brothers

I have tried "hepics" 's method to update my i600 to wm6. (please see the methods as below)
For the first attempt, around the end of the process, it took a quite long time without any response.
I then followed hepics's advice to unplug the battery for another reset... it does not help anymore.
Then, I tried one more "flash" but the update hung up at the end also.

I have no choice but try to re-flash it with the GD1 and GA2 roms. However, during the updating "Phone" part, the phone screen shows the following messages.

[Phone] Active OFF -> Active OFF
[Phone] Reset Pin -> Low : OFF
*[PHONE] Phone Download Failed!

My phone does not have the phone function right now. What can I do??
The phone can still get into the bootloader. Any remedy??



QUOTE(hepics @ Aug 3 2007, 21:27) The three extracted files and the flashing software (from previous i600XXGC6) is currently uploading to rapid share. Should take 30 more minutes to complete . Some points. I am disappointed in WM6 Update for many reasons. Including

- No Pocket Office (I guess because after WM6 there is not enough space left in ROM)
- No WM6 VoIP (One of the MAIN reasons for me to install WM6, I am still trying to see if its hidden somewhere inside)

both the above features are official part of Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Standard but have been removed from i600 version.


Some instructions..

WARNING: Do this at your own risk. I had some trouble with the first update attempt. The update said its successful but the PHONE Component (GSM) of i600 was not working. I could not fix the problem on the same machine, but managed to fix it using another computer so I guess it was some driver issue on my machine.

Start the I600_WCEDownloader_v1.1_Single.exe Application

Select the three files

Eboot = WM6Eboot2.nb0
PDA = WM6PDA.bin
Phone = WM6Phone.bin

Boot the phone in flash mode. Refer to http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Samsung_i...Into_Bootloader for entering boot mode.

To enter flash mode / boot mode you must first turn off the device. Then press three keys "power" + "right soft key" + "camera key / back key"

Click at the Start Button to start the flash.

NOTE: The device takes a really long time to boot for ONLY the first time after update so be patient.

Can you boot the phone completely, or do you have access only to the bootloader?

If you can boot the phone normally, why don't you try Panateo's method, described in post #231 in this thread:

If you can only access bootloader, I suggest you try re-flashing it with GD1. It happened to me once that the Phone version was not updated at all, re-flashing helped. Make sure that you install the latest modem drivers.

I tried to re-flash the machine with GD1. Although the update of "PDA" was completed, during the update of the "Phone" part, the screen showed:

[Phone] Active OFF -> Active OFF
[Phone] Reset Pin -> Low : OFF
*[PHONE] Phone Download Failed!

panateo's method as you mentioned was tried as well but it still failed to update the "Phone" part.

Although the OS is updated to WM6, the phone function is absent right now. I check in the "Version" under "Settings", the phone version is blank.

Any suggestion??

Not too fair, but unless you find an easier way, give it for repair under guarantee, telling your computer crashed during rom update

Thanks for your advice!

I know it must be the easiest way to fix the problem but unfortunately my machine is beyond the warranty of Samsung.
I hope there is any solution I can do it myself.

jackylui - did you try to reset eboot data before flash, and load working boot file ?
I will post you PM with the solution how to fix this problem, mayby this will help.

I tried to re-flash the machine as you taught me but it did not work.
The "Eboot" and "PDA" version were updated but the updating of "Phone" was suspended.

When I go to "Settings" -> "Security" -> "Reset" , and try to hard reset the machine, it fails.

What's problem with the reset function??? If you see my first post, I told you all that the screen showed the below message when doing update.

[Phone] Active OFF -> Active OFF
[Phone] Reset Pin -> Low : OFF
*[PHONE] Phone Download Failed!

Any idea?? Thank you very much!!

[xippon]

When I go to "Settings" -> "Security" -> "Reset" , and try to hard reset the machine, it fails.

it has the same effect as remove battery - it doesn't reset phone software.

I post You on pm pass for "internal" menu when You can reset other options.

In my case, after switching off the machine, I try to reset the machine by pressing "0 + 4-way navigation key UP + Power" simultaneously. After the phone prompts for reset, press 1 and then Y. The phone reset successfully.

However, if I do the reset when I go to "Settings" -> "Security" -> "Reset" , and try to hard reset the machine, it fails.
Besides, I find that there are three reset options under the "internal" menu, it failed to reset the machine as well.

The problem is still here. Sorry for all.

If anyone else is having problems with uploading the 'phone' part, all you have to do is first update the eboot and pda together (DO NOT TICK "PHONE") then after switching off the phone (by removing the battery) switch it on again in flash mode and repeat the proccess but this time only ticking 'phone'. If anyone has any problems just send me a PM

Sorry! I have the same problem as the other guys in flashing the "phone part". It's more than 2 months I am fighting with it. I treid many times and in many ways but nothing. I even sent it to the Samsung Assistance, but they gave me back without solving me the problem (incredible, in the report they wrote everything is OK and all functions tested - how possibile if there isn't written any Phone version - it says there are installed only the PDA version and Eboot version).
Without the function of "Phone" my mobile is completly useless - no calls, no internet..nothing...
I tried to do as u said - but nothing. Have u got any suggestion??
As I see I am not the only one that had this problem....anyone of you were able to solve it?? If yes, please make me know before I'll get crazy
