Wow thanks for posting that.
I guess it is too much to ask for a changelog from Samsung...lol


Hopefully this helps with custom roms :).

I have found an upgrade to the Verizon Omnia i920 and installed it but I haven't noticed anything new. Anyone know what was changed/fixed?

http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/mobile/...amp;tab=support


It will be interesting to see if there is any change (for better or worse) to the phones memory situation. Whoever loads this please share that info and any other pros and cons of loading this so that lazy people such as myself can determine if it's worth the trouble to update.

Thanks.

I upgraded mine using a WinXP machine and the whole thing took less than 10 minutes.

Did you run it in XP compatibility mode? It's an XP installation program.

Looks like it. I'm running Home Premium 64bit and it says (straight from MS site):

You are not eligible to download Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to run Windows XP Mode. To upgrade visit Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade.


lame....

It wouldn't run on my laptop because it doesn't support hardware virtualization.

I was able to upgrade my i920 on my Vista machine using the following steps:
1) Remove SD card and reset the phone
2) Connected USB to phone using mobile device center
3) Ran upgrade tool
4) When tool was in the "Restart" screen my phone kept on beeping and didn't restart. I change the windows mobile device center connection setting to NOT "Allow USB Connection" and then I restarted my phone using the phone's reset button
Result: The tool started the upgrade after the phone was restarted.

Initially for step 4 I had just restarted my phone using the phone's restart button, the phone restarted normally and I got a popup error saying something like "Win USB Initialization". I remember seeing this kind of error when I tried flashing my i910 and forgot to uncheck the "Allow USB Connection" for my windows mobile device center.

I notice a little bit better performance with the Samsung UI and I didn't see any major increase RAM availability.

So it looks like this official upgrade isn't much to look forward to -- I hope it helps the chefs though.
I dl'd the complete file before it was taken offline but it looks like someone already up'd it somewhere.
So I guess msg me if you still need it..
