Samsung SCH-i760 ROM
**UPDATE 03/10/08**​
I have found some useful tools to help me accomplish this, but still have some things left to find. Any help would be awesome, first I need a way to find what I can remove (useless files that take up space) and most importantly where I should to start to make this work. I'm pretty sure the forums will be closed later today, so if you could email if your able to assist me I would appreciate it!
What do you think?​
Hey everybody, I've been browsing this forum numerous times in the past couple of weeks looking to customize my i760 and haven't found much on it for upgrading it's performance. It seems that not many users have this phone, so I'm thinking of creating a ROM for this device.
It will probably take me some time, being this will be my first time creating anything for a PPC.
I'm asking for some help for this:
a) From fellow i760 users to get some input on what might be the best items for the ROM.
b) Also from advanced users on the best way to approach this creation.
All help will be very much appreciated.
I'd like to have some contribution to this forum, seeing how my phone has been completely customized from developers on this site. Big Thanks to all of you out there whos software I am using! You all have done a great job, I appreciate your time and hard work for it.
What are your all's thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.
Any question you can email me @ jtisr241 @ aim dot com.

I had the i760. I got rid of it because of the lack or roms.
And Your are right there are no roms out there, its not because people dont have it, but its something with the way Samsung makes their roms. It's not as flexible with as the HTC devices.

Thanks for the info, I still have a ton of research to do before I look into the development, I'll keep that in mind hopefully I can find a way around it.

hey help for all phones would be cool

I'm not sure what compatibility the ROM will have, another thing I'm learning.

I would love to see a rom that does not include the d-day and all the get it now and vzw branded software there under WM6.1 with the threaded MMS of 6.1 and the Palm threaded SMS. But, that is just a pipe dream, so I will settle for just a software update.
Thank you for your effort sir.

Thanks, that's what I hear, hopefully once I figure out all the odds and ends to ROM's I can better understand how this is configured.

I second the vote for a rom that does not have the "extra" garbage including that useless picsel browser thing. An end button deactivator (comes in handy to "accidentally" hang up on the wife, but most of the time it's a pain in the ass), a built-in S2U2-like app, built-in touchscreen inteface (ifonz-like I guess). Overclocking.
Overall better memory use, power use, touchscreen use, end deactivator (tried AE, it hated my i760!!)
Update: Oh you know what I'd really like to see - one touch access to contacts, then particular category. The thing I miss most from my cell phone is pressing one button which calls up MY contact list, not the thousands of contact in Outlook. So to recap press a soft key, get the personal contacts list category.

what is the good word?

yea there's def. not a ton of support for the i760; but i've heard that there will be an update to wm6.1 for it so that should satisfy alot of us owners if its true

I hope theres a 6.1 Rom!!

I hear there is and Verizon will have it for download for the i760 on there web site when they finish there part of it.

760 for High speed Internet Bluetooth connection
Hey does anyone have any luck using the 760 as a celluar modem? I am using PDANet to open the profile and I connect without issue but I can only stay connected for a very short time usually less then one minute.
I have also been all over this site and I am looking for a ROM and there does not seem to be much of anything available for this device. Has anyone had any success with the ROM or any update that would let me use this device reliably with my laptop. I am not sure if it is Verizon or a setting on the phone but it is killing me.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Todd

I just ordered a i760 so i can help.
i say no iphone interface, its not that good i dont see why people want to copy it.

Alright, it seems there won't be an update anytime soon from Verizon, so I'll try to get something accomplished here, it seems all I do is work sometimes. Anyways, I'm still messing with apps and plugins to see what I want to build here. As soon as I can figure which I want I'll post the news.
Any suggestions on what should be included?

i760 Rom Dump
@ TheChampJT
I've been watching this thread for a bit now. At the same time I have been digging deep into my i760.
I was finally able to use itsutils (from here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html ) to run the following commands without errors:
pdocread
pmemmap
pmemdump 0x80000000 0x02000000 rom.nb
That last one gave me a 32Mb file obviously titled "rom.nb". I was feeling all uber l33t until I realized I have no clue what to do now. I am trying to decompile the file I dumped with the perl script that Willem (aka itsme) posted on his RAPI tools site. I am trying to compile the perl script in WinXP, because that's the OS I dumped the rom.nb file with. Should I boot into linux (fedora 8 or Backtrack3beta is all I got) to run the perl script? I haven't tried much of anything with it yet because I just dumped the rom.nb file late last night. However, any advice would be much appreciated.
I think my i760 is CID unlocked, because the first time I tried to run pdocread I got an error that said "Have you CID or application unlocked your device?". When I was able to run pdocread, I assumed I had somehow CID unlocked my device. But I have no way to tell for sure whether its CID unlocked or not. Its not like there's a popup window on the i760 that says "You've CID unlocked you device!!" So that's my second question, how do I know if I CID unlocked my device?
I've been hacking away at this for a solid 12days now Well, more like a month or so. I always peek into my new toy's registry as soon as I get it and make a few changes here and there to see what happens. I've run the Windows Mobile Security Configuration Tool and set my profile's security to "off". I made some changes to the reg entries under the policies entry. I've also done the whole **33284 then set to DM then reboot and set data connection to Modem Through USB, connected my i760 and installed the drivers for the Samsung modem in that mode (they are different from the MCCI drivers and modem set up). As you can probably tell, I operate on a "try a small hack, then see what happens, repeat" basis.
So that's where I'm at right now. Probably TMI for you, or anyone else reading this, but I am trying to put out as much info/knowledge as I can.
Obviously I am willing to help get a working, easy to use, cooked rom. Let me know if you want any of the files I have pulled off my device or any of the tools or dll's that I have found on the web, or any of the print outs I got from the itsutils cmd line tools.
Ta Then,
Alqui
You can PM me here at XDA or over at PDAPhoneHome, that is unless you think I'm a total ****tard, then don't PM me anywhere.

T9 for the front.

help i need somebody xv6900

hi im extremely new to this and i need a someone to mentor me on how to hack my phone. i have a xv6900 i just found out that i can unlock gps and use wm6.1 what else can this phone do. someone please help sorry i do not know the language need help with that to.

welcome
First off welcome. Your phone can do alot of things. You need to do some research before anyone will really help you. There is alot of stuff on here and on ppcgeeks. Just do a google search of ppc and you will get there. your phone is called the touch or sometimes called vogue. if you want to release the phone you need to get an unlocker and then flash a custom ROM. I have never done it but it seems easy. just be careful to read read read before you do it cause it can brick your phone. there are lots of fun aps that work with your phones oem rom. just look around and play with it. your phone has gps but verizon has it locked down for now so you will need to unlock to get gps. your phone does not have wifi.

thanx il get right on to it

Easy does it. Let him get to know WinMo first.

why? pretty soon Android will be able to fully replace winmo

totally lost

Lg arena question debranding??

hey all i know this is an x1 forum, i have an x1 and use this forum all the time, it's just that there isn't a forum for the phone my g/f has bought. so if you could point me in the right direction :s... basically the lg arena has a crap rom loaded onto it, with loads of t-mobile things, and some display restrictions. i know there is a service for SE phones called EMMA. I've tried using lg's software update tool, which says that there is an open rom available, but it checks my gf's imei and then automatically chooses the t-mobile rom. is there anyway i can get around this? or is there any chance i will be able to change the rom in the near future? sorry for posting on here, it's just i know that there are some really helpful people on this forum
regards,
Joel

Omnia II freezing

Greetings,
New to the forum and from what I can tell there is a lot of great information to be had.
I have an issue I was hoping to get some direction on. Our co. just deployed about 10 new Omnia II's and half of them freeze up and the end user has no choice but to pop the battery out to continue.
I have used the search feature but I'm not finding any info. on this issue and how to resolve it. It could be out there and it's possible I'm not plugging in the correct wording.
Does anyone have any info. on this issue and how to resolve?
Thank you in advance.

if they are brandnew, then hard reset them. thats what I would do if it was mine.

yes a hard reset should fix it. Also note that you may want to install a custom rom to get more ram out of the device

hi guys,
I've got a similar problem with my device from the very beginning.
the hard reset is a solution but it's really annoying!!!!!
aspecially when my wife catches me doing that her smile in her face makes me sick..
(she uses the iphone 3gs)
So my device starts hanging after a period which changes between 1-3 months.
I could still not figure it out what happens. I've got the feeling that a service or a file causes to slow down the device extremely.
I tried to find out from the task manager to see which service takes the most resources.
but when the device slows down the task manager hangs aswell when trying to retrieve the information.
I'm using the taskmanager V2.8 from fdcsoft
for some reason I got the feeling it has to do with the messaging services. I've setup a pop3 account from my e-mail which I use frequently. using max 5kb for the attachements etc.
anybody who can share or got any idea about that?

which rom version are you using?
Try an upgrade...
One thing:
Just show your wife, how you remove your battery, how you plug in an Storage-card, how you do REAL multitasking, how you send EVERY FILE YOU WANT via Bluetoot, how you use your phone as USB-Stick, and MUCH MUCH MORE and smile back at her
Regards

Hi,
WM 6.5
PDA: I8000JUIK2
I've upgraded a couple of months ago just for that reason.
the upgrade was released in the Samsung Web site.
Thanks for the other suggestion

Your rom is 8Month old...
Update your phone. You can have WM6.5.3 if you like to! I really love the I8000NXXJEx Roms. There are WM6.5 and WM6.5.3 Roms available.
I´m using JE3 for at least 2months now(since it was released) and I´m absolutely fine with it!
But dump your own Rom before you upgrade...
If you need help just tell me.
Regards

I see,
could be helpful.
But I'm not sure whether I would loss my warranty.
Is that really possible? I mean dumping the ROM
for a long time I was just tracking local forums and so far I was not satisfied with the knowledge of the people.
Is there a way to returen to my org. ROM if I need. that means the local service will not realize that?

IT IS POSSIBLE! Its really easy!
I think in this thread you will find everything you need! If you don´t, PM me, and I will upload it for you, but its not my application so all credits go to somone else!
You get your original Rom als .nb0 file. Flash it back with octans and everything ist as it has been.
Another thing is: you can watch whether there are updated ROMs for your Country available(perhaps via NPS or Kies).

HTC Hero and Metro PCS Setup

Hi,
I was a steady user of Windows Mobile phones. Setup and flashing ROMS for YEARS I lived on XDA Forums!. NOW I'm on Metro PCS and I have a HTC Hero and I'm sick and tired of running this to someone and having it fixed and them Charge me. I want to know or be pointed to the information that I can use to do this. DO NOT point me to a website or person that will charge me to do it. I WANT TO DO THIS MYSELF!
It seems nobody will tell you anything! Someone has to know what it takes or point me in the right direction so I can learn this. I know how to root it and Flash the ROM that is easy! What I want to know is:
How do you setup the phones settings to work with Metro PCS? What is required to program it for Metro PCS? Is it a file? software? What I'm asking is if I have a Hero flashed with say Damagecontrol v1.0 what are the steps at that Point to set it up on Metro PCS from there?
And YES I've search Google and every site with every combination or keywords for some kind of information to do this. Even the XDA site and I get Nothing.
Thanks,
Rick

Has it already been flashed to metro? Ever if not send me a pm. I don't charge I don't guarantee results but i've got a couple tricks up my sleave that i think will work. If it works then we will post a how-to so everyone can do this for free as well.

I've been desperately awaiting this post for about 4 months. I see hero's on CL all the time selling as "fully flashed" gps/mms/market/etc. How in the hell is this achieved, i had internet for 2 months, then it no longer worked one day. PLEASE SOMEONE POST TUTORIAL!?!?

I just want to know how to do my phone. I want to know how to do it from scratch. I have a HTC Hero NOT flashed to Metro. I know I need Damagecontrol v1.0, BUT how do you set it up for Metro.
I have another HTC Hero flashed and it needs to be reflashed (Acts weird now) , BUT I'm not going to pay someone to do it again. If they can do... So can I. I just need to find out how too.
I also want to know If I can only use Damagecontrol v1.0 / 2.1. Or can I use something higher than 2.1 on the Hero flashed to Metro?
I'm just asking for help or even point me to a site with the step by step process. All these people do this on CL so I know it's out there.

I got a pretty good idea on how to do this but I need some testers

I did it, fully flashed, search the internet, you'll find what you're looking for.

I've had mine on CM 6 with 2.2 rocking! up until they changed the metropcs servers which all I lost was net access.
I paid $60-70 bucks to have it done at first and they used the Damaged Rom and honestly it was hit or miss. Yeah man you can dam sure use lots of other Rom's.

I wondering if you could help me out I have my Hero Flashed to Metro Pcs but lost my internet, MMS abilities along with a few other things. I'm trying to figure out how to fix this, I have a number current with Metro but I was wondering If by fixing this will I have to get a new number as well?

I don't think you should have to get a new number or anything like that.
I'm not completely certain, but I think your problem lies in one of the following settings:
HDR AN AUTH User ID/Password
PPP User ID/Password
M.IP NAI Profile
MMS Server URL
Dial ##778# and ##3282# to access those(you will need your MSL/SPC code to change any settings). I think QPST Service Programming can also alter these settings if you're having trouble with ##778#. Configure them to match your service provider. Hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

I need to do this as well. Anyone have a step by step.

dude stop bumping threads no one is going to help u if u keep doing that take a hint already.

My hero is flashed to metro and I only have working talk, sms, wi-fi, n market but no data n mms. I have CM7, clockworkmod(lastest), rooted, gapps, u2nl, n so on but for for sum reason can't mod with QPST or EPST so I flashed back to 2.1 stock rom it works there. I did everything possible like followed guides for different settings that promised to get metros mms working but all I did is f&*) up my internet. Hopefully I not talking to a wall because I need those settings above HDR and so forth to get data n mms working. Thanks.
