Hi, just brought a Dream, but did anyone from Singapore managed to hack the dream to get the multitouch? Hehe
did you try the search function? I find it very useful!
you're not even a n00b...it hurts sometimes.
You will need JF's firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475381
Haha it is nt that i did nt found the hacked firmware, i am just afraid that flashing the firmware from the US side would create problems for my firmware which is stg RC8, plus if i want to send back my phone to repair, would i get the stg firmware.

it shouldn't affect your phone at all (except for the US numbering format) and if you want to send your phone in for repairs you could just flash the stock firmware back onto it. or just send it in anyway as i don't think changing the firmware voids your warranty.

Do not use sony update service just yet
Although Sony DO NOT yet have a firmware update for the Xperia, the update service still gives you the option to restore the phone by reinstalling the currant firmware version.
But DO NOT USE THE UPDATE SERVICE JUST YET, consult sony technical service first, if you are experiencing problems and are looking to restore via update service. (vista 32 bit, i also know one case on windows xp from a xperia user)
I carried an update to restore the original firmware and the phone got blocked(bricked) update stops at 11%
i had to send it back and purchase a new xperia.
Excellent phone, hope all Xperia users are enjoying the experiences with X1
WHAT??!?!?!?!? They didn't exchange it or something?
i dont understand, this is windows mobile, why would we need to upgrade firmware? If anything, we just need to hard reset the phone and its back to factory. I mean there are custom roms but we cant flash it until we have a hard spl
Updates
you wanna be able to update the phone to fix bugs in the FW, like the Bluetooth disabling itself issue, or the panels being slow etc.
As to y u would wanna re install the existing FW, some people might have messed around and bricked their phone, a quick solution would be to reinstall the FW.

Can you please help me, and tell me where I can download the Generic AT Rom for X1, I need to send it back, but was not able to get this ROM? even the Update service of SE, there is no option to restore, it say only, that there is no new software for it.
Please help, and is there any special SPL I need to use?
thanks in advance.
I'm glad I came across this thread. I was about check for updates but I sure wouldn't have reinstalled the same firmware version. Anyway, I guess I should just wait for the next update and update the phone after I find out how it makes the phone better.
... to late, ive already updated it with the latest dutch vodafone rom version. luckly it didnt brick.
How dose one tell if their X10 is branded or unbranded? (ie generic or not)
I believe you can see that information in Settings>About Phone.

You need to go into the hidden menu. Go to the lock screen. and type in
menu, back, back, menu,back,menu,menu,back
Then go on service info. then model info.
ok, so it says brand, orange so its branded
But there are no orange software or anything on the phone

Unlucky. You can look into debranding. Its what I did. Or you can hope someone hosts the file up.
i had the same problem, debranding is easy its in the decrypted roms thread, download the files let it flash and viola its debranded as it installs a generic firmware onto the phone
about the apps thing, did your phone not have traffic tv or was that just me?
its got traffiv tv ya, thought that was just something sony stuck on there lol

It voids your warrenty, If you hand the phone into repair and it's running non orange software then they will not repair and and charge you for its returnal.
Though saying that. I handed in a x10 which was on nordic software into a o2 store with a fualty usb port. They replaced the phone. But that might be because they could not turn it on.
Becareful and no the risks before you debrand

I read somewhere here that when you flashed your phone with a official generic version then the warranty won't be voided
here in mexico techs from my carrier are so damn stupid that they won't even notice is not their firmware (just for the record, had an x1 with winmo in spanish, asked them how to change it to english or if they can put the firmware in english, their solution, to change the country settings, seriously they suck)
I have a daft question - If we update to 2.1 can we still hack bootloader if the devs get to it in the near future?
I'd have to assume it remains the same right?
What if it says Customized? Is that branded or debranded?

Hi all, new here
I'm in Australia with the Samsung Omnia 7.
I bought phone online from someone who won it in an Optus competition (Optus being the carrier here).
The phone is unlocked to any network but for about 3-5 seconds upon the phones startup, there is a branded Optus logo that is displayed.
I want it GONE.
What's the best way to do this? I'm running the original firmware, not the new leaked one. I'm also not game to flash to the leaked newer firmware as Samsung hasn't released it officially and I've heard some Aussies have had some issues after doing it.
What's the safest way I can remove this start-up logo branding? Thanks!
change to a different firmware, vol up+camera+power button > download mode> samfirmwares.com firmware(unbranded)! Thats currently the only possibility.
What about by editing a registry entry or something?
I'm not prepared to "upgrade" to that firmware until Samsung releases it (if they do).
They probably haven't for a reason.
try chevron unlocker, install registry explorer search and share!
Is chevron unlocker going to change something about my device I can't reverse? I want full control of any testing I do.
sorry for late reply, the firmware file consists of lot parts (Phone, csc,eboot,pda), modifying a specific file in the archive may remove the startup logo.Just search wiki for answers about the significance of each part.Or better still, wait for the update release by MS see if it changes anything! Chevron won't help!
Most users have upgraded to the firmware available at samfirmware.com I too running omnia 7 t-mobile uk version unbranded by downloading I8700XENJK1. Have had no issues so far!
Any updates on this with new unlocking methods etc..?
I'd really like that start up pic gone if I can!

No, like has already been said, the only way to get rid of this is to re-flash the device. You should be able to only flash parts of it though which would leave the OS (and all apps, settings etc) intact. I'm guessing it's the bootloader image that includes the logo you're seeing, so would start there.

Do you have anyway to do this? There's no tool I've heard of which can replace specific parts of the ROM?
It's a full reflash or nothing, I think.

For now it is. Even with WinMo 6.5 we had to flash the 2nd start up screen. Then we had full access to the core of OS. Right now we dont. So only way to get rid of it is to flash a brand free rom issue by samsung and not a carrier
Any updates on this now?
Anyone know a registry key that is associated with the start up logo?

Are you absolutely certain about this? The ROM comes in parts and I would assume we could flash only part 1 or 2 if we so wanted?

There IS NO registry key for this. The boot logo is displayed long before the OS has even started booting.
I've also installed the firmware from samfirmware.com and I've had no issues at all. I've managed to update to Pre-NODO and NODO without any pain (apart from having to use the Hungarian Hack to get NODO early).
I've seen no downsides from my perspective.
The only risk I can see is that no carriers will have tested WP7 against this firmware until it's officially released by Samsung.
if you have a 4.10.1.9 bootloader, there's no possibility to change your rom....forget it.
right now, this bootloader fail to upgrade... no download mode ability at omnia 7

Hello everyone, Im new to the site. I too purchased, what I thought to be unbranded, a mobile over the internet that was branded with T-Mobile Germany. Im in Australia. I can use my Optus SIM Card. But what was worrying me is what affects a branded phone (especially from another country) would have on me and my usage, especially with the new Mango update.
Now unless someone can tell me that it really doesnt make any difference to how the phone will work, I want it unbranded for safety sake. That being said, my quote above, This firmware, obviously it sounds custom and not official. If I install this firmware, any Windows Update up until this point (Not Mango), will it still install via zune? and will it take on the Mango update when thats out?
Thanks guys

I believe samfirmware just releases leaked firmware. They are therefore all "official" in a sense and the unbranded ones should just be firmware for the unbranded devices.
If you're using a branded phone, the official updates will roll out when the original carrier certifies it. Apart from that and the boot branding, there shouldn't be many differences.

Branded won't make any difference to your experience. But you can flash the unbranded ROM it's easy enough and you should still get the Mango update.
So?
GP, have you gotten rid of it yet?

Hi there sorry if this has been asked before but I flashed my phone to indroid 2.2 because I was tired of waiting for the official version to come out
but now I have a problem with my phone and I may need to send it off to Samsung for repairs as the power input is a bit dodgy
So I think flashing does break the manufacturer warranty, but is there a way to un-flash the phone and go back to the original 2.1 set up so the manufacturer warrant is restored or maybe making Samsung not notice
thanks for any help
dave
dude flash ddjg6 rom.........
Yes, flash an eclair rom, preferably the one with what the phone came with, eg. mine came with JG6.

I need your help to answer a few questions about changing my i9505 ROM. I have now BMG7 (Orange Romania) ROM and i want to update it to the last German firmware BMGA(this is the last one right?) My phone is branded(it has orange applications, orange boot logo etc...) and it is locked(i purchased it with subscription).
My question is if i update it to the BMGA firmware(stock one, from sammobile) will i lose the warranty? If i lose it i can put the BGM7 firmware back before going to the shop, right?
The second very important question is: if i put BMG7 back ( also the official version of sammmobile for orange romania) before going to the shop will i have the orange apps, the boot logo etc. back?
And also what i want to know is if the phone will be locked again in the carrier... Because if it is unlocked(after i upgrade it to the German firmware) i guess the guys from the shop will figure out that i changed the rom or something..
Thank you
