Here is the way to debrand from Orange using Vista upgrading via XP is slightly different you need the Samsung modem driver.



I have sent you a link to a website which I used and the following is from there. Very useful tips there. I am jonflit user on that website.



http://www.samsung-omnia.org/rom-discussion/successfully-flashed-branded-orange-version-bvhh1-to-mshj1/



1. Go to the website:Xhttp://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp.Phone: i900XXHI5

2. For the version check enter the following version MSHH1 you will then be able to download the official MSHJ1 updater.

3. Edit the following registry key on the Omina HKCU\ControlPanel\Version\CustomVersion to MSHH1
(The original keys value on mine was BVHH1_HH1 I just altered it to read MSHH1_HH1)
Check this setting has been stored by using the version checker in Start\Settings\System

This is where I had to create the \CustomVersion folder in the Version folder then copy across the values and then change to MSHH1_HH1, when I check in the version via settings\system mine still read BVHH1.

I was advised also once changing the registry to turn off phone for at least 20secs.

4. Run the official updater.
If all goes correctly you should end up with the following versions:
PDA: i900XXHJ4/MSHJ1
Phone: i900XXHI5

I have an Omnia from Orange and I have got it unlocked at a shop for £10. But the widgets are still the grey and orange colour and the phone keeps switching back to Orange internet even though I have set it to connect to the net via Wifi. I also read on the net that someone who bought an unlocked orange Omnia from UK was having the same problem, ie the phone kept wanting to connect to the net via orange.

I tried the above, changing the registry from BVHH1 to MSHH1. That done, I went to the Samsung website that asked me to update the windows mobile device center download. I tried this but it did not come through. Then I tried downloading the firmware but at installation, I get the message that "WINUSB.dll is missing" and I cannot proceed. Can someone please help?

I am using windows XP home 32 bit (and it says that one has to use Vista if one wants to update the firmware) I am also using Activesync 4.5

Thank you.

I have a similar issue... I have a spanish orange branded omnia i900. I debranded it through keypad codes... now the version info is:

PDA: i900XJHI2/BNHI1
TELEFONO: i900BVHH6

The official omnia updater says: incorrect version... Is there any way to get the original updated firmware in english, even if y use it in spain?

Thanks in advance for your help.

i have just opened up the options in resco program and chose addin bit, but do i then click " Download resco today plugin " bit ? I tried it but the phone tries to retrieve it from the net and i thought the addin patch was already from the previous install of the resco prog? my phone wont connect to the net because its on a bt sim card ( not the normal o2 bt ) .

Hello everyone I tried to debrand using this method. BUT unfortunately, after running the official updater I received the message: "turn on manually the device" but I coundn't swith it on , does it mean that my phone is "brick" if so what can I do? I tried a prayer but nothing yet any other suggestions?
