When you are updating on Vista using virtual machine make sure you turn off the USB on the vista sync centre.

Double click Vista sync centre (if you don't have it download it).
Double click on the windows based mobile device.
Highlight mobile device setting with your mouse and click on connection settings.
Untick Allow USB connections.

Update using virtual machine as above when finished turn back on the allow USB connections in sync centre.

If you don't do the above XP Sp3 in VM mode will not recognise your phone.

Works without doing it but it is safest. I will add it also on tutorial.

Hi, Sorry to clog up your thread as a newbie wanting help, but I flashed my omnia earlier today, using HJ2 from the samsung website. It all appeared to work fine, it said it had completed successfully. I booted up the omnia and everything appeared to work - except that in "wireless manager" the phone is set to off and I can't turn it on. Also, google maps cant find the internal GPS.
Any suggestions - cause I'm ready to cry that I bricked phone. Thanks.

good work bro.....

i knew you being a mod here would make things better as a whole....

Keep it up baw$$!

[LuigiSlowHand]

got a question
i just flash my mobile
and lost the configuration for data transfer (internet, mms, etc)

now, i tried to restore some files from an old backup i've got
i did manage to get the configuration back, but also got some config back from other apps that are not in the phone right now so it's all messed up

my question is, is there a file where i can find that config without messing up the whole phone?
i know there should be, but there are lots of files that i can't open to 'see' inside

thx

First don't stress. It's all good. You did not brick your phone. When you brick a phone it is usefully only as a brick, hence the name.

Try to do a couple hard resets. Read sector's post in the main OMNIA thread. Then check and see if its not working. Sometime you need to clear out old files by doing a couple of them.

If it is still not working reflash your phone... If you want an official ROM read the 'incorrect software" thread by paul just above this one and reflash.

Remember if all else fails you can take it to a service center. I had to do that when I bricked mine (IT JUST SAT THERE I TRIED TO POKE IT AND TALK NICE TO IT AND IT JUST SAT THERE...... DON'T WORRY IT'S JUST SLEEPING IT WILL WAKE UP LATER SHE'S JUST SLEEPING )

well
there's no answer to this
the phone restarts before the vmmachine recognizes the usb connected phone
maybe you should try to shutdown the phone instead of restarting
i was so sick of this problem that i got a new hdd and installed xp on it !!

Hey guys... I'm having a very frustrating problem with VMWare. This is that no mattter what, it won't detect the phone when I connect it.

I have disabled Mobile Centre in Vista, I have active sync 4.5 and installed the modem drivers but whenever I plug my phone it, it just makes the "vista usb noise" and XP won't detect it, not even if I try to force a connection from ActiveSync...

I've tryied different versions of VMWare and different windows versions and NOTHING. I have run out of ideas and was wondering whether any of you have come accross this problem before and know of any possible solutions?

Thank you very much in advance!

[redha]

[Omni God]

I'm in the process of upgrading my i900 now with the DXID1_21815 ROM of 6.5

It's been sitting on 11% (Downloading image) with my i900 on the boot screen for the last 20 minutes.

How long is the process supposed to take?

Thanks.

Hello to all ok i read all about before i do any update, mod to the rom, heam i read for Vista because this f*ç%*%*ç%g OS is installed and i don't have any CD for XP i have HP machines here and thex don't give any CD for XP or Vista so.... if i read all correctly i can't upgrade my phoneon this f*ç%*ç%g vista right? i want to be sure before i do and i'm really newbie with ISO and especially the dowloaded ones... i don't trust them thanks for reply it's a really good site

[arbaheti]

Thanks a lot for the guidelines mate....

[ericbaber]

Thanks for the post. I followed all the instructions, updating to BOHH5 (t-mobile, since my SIM is t-mobile). It all seems to have updated ok but I'm now getting a "Network Lock" message and it's not connecting to a network. Previously the phone was unlocked so I'm assuming it's now locked to t-mobile; however, given that my SIM is t-mobile, why isn't it connecting to the network? Any tips on how to either unlock it again, or at least get it to connect to t-mobile? Thanks.(Version now is i900XXHH7/BOHH5)
