Official Epix Firmware Update... Hacking Now Possible? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

The Epix has gotten the firmware update it so badly needed from Samsung.
Of course, it's still an official bloatware rom from ATT.
Anyways, I was hoping that now that an official bootloader utility and modem driver for the device is now available, maybe some of you wizkids could get to opening this sucker up for 6.5 down the road.

How to update firmware?

Anyone know if theres anyway to update the firmware or rom version with an official tmobile update? thanks
There isn't an official update out there to update to... yet. I may or may not have an official unreleased update that was never released but is now a bit old... but I'm not releasing that. I'm waiting to see if tmobile makes something newer...

Serious Problem

Hi everyone this is my third thread today and Im going outta my mind!!!
Whatever firmware I flash Kies doesnt allow me to restore my firmware to what it was!!!!!!!! It also says that this deviceversion cannot be updated anymore just like someone else mentioned on the forum.
Can anyone help me please!!
What firmware are you trying to flash? Kies is only for official updates. You must use Odin to flash other/beta firmwares.
read the faq thread in the development section.
right now jf3 as someone stated thats the stock one, but i want to go back to the stock one and let KIES do the updates how am I able to do this?
Anybody???
you will have to use Odin, or ROM Manager to install previous version of the ROMs
you can not use Kies to restore back to original ROM
But if i flash the original firmware will I then be able to use Kies again or will I never be able to use Kies to update?
Use Odin to flash back to JF3 then Kies should be able to handle official updates from then on.
I did that it still says that the phone is not able to be updated anymore I think because I really need the dutch firmware
If you flash back to JF3 you would still get that he can't upgrade the phone. I got that message also when I was back on the stock-rom.
There is no official dutch update after JF3. So you allway get that he can't upgrade the phone.
I think/hope that the new Frodo update you can install with KIES. But can't be sure until there is a new update in KIES.
Im about to cry right now is there no system recovery?
About to cry?? What is the problem? If you are in holland there is no official update available. Use odin if you want to flash newer firmware or wait till september.

Man what the hell is wrong anyway? Kies will ALWAYS show that message untill Samsung releases an official update... There is nothing to update so obviously Kies will tell you that there is nothing to update! Obviously. Only in September we will see official updates... Wait untill then...

No you dont get it, it doesnt say theres no update available, it says the phone cant be updated anymore... when I hadnt flashed it said theres no new update available...

[Q] Rogers Official Gingerbread Update Help

Sooooo, like alot of people here that either couldn't wait or didn't think we were getting the update, I flashed my x10a with a generic firmware(now an x10i). I believe my original region code was 1233-6929. My question is, how would I go about putting the official firmware back on? I've searched and can't seem to find out how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
According to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186045
1233-6929 has been updated to 2.3. There is no need to go back to 2.1.
Did you not make a backup of the 2.1 ROM with xrecovery before you flashed 2.3?
Why do I get that feeling that I'm going to kick myself in the butt for not doing that? Anyway, I should have added the fact that I am currently on a generic gingerbread firmware but would like to know how to put the official update on my phone?
No, no you're fine unless you absolutely need to go back to Eclair.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
Flash the 2.3 firmware for X10a with the flashtool. I've got to tell you, all the 2.3 upgrade has the same build number (3.0.1.G.0.75) and the firmware you are currently on is no different, except what the "model number" says on phone's property.
You can try updating the firmware through SEUS or PC Companion, but there will be no difference.....
Alright, thanks for the info. Looks like the owner of the thread you linked here doesn't have all the x10a kits added yet (which I'm assuming includes the Rogers one I mentioned) so I may have to wait for a bit before it's available for download so that I can use it with flashtool? The only reason why I want to go with the official update is because I've had a few glitches with the generic one I currently have. Every once in a while I get some error messages pop up on the screen, one that I can recall is "failed to create media transport" and some other ones. Plus if I ever plan on selling the phone, it probably would be best if it had the official update on it (just itching to get the galaxy s2).

Issues installing official Tango Rom from Verzion

Hi guys i'm trying to update my Trophy to the official Tango release and i'm getting error number
80180048
There was an error while trying to update your device with the latest software.
Please try again.
Cannot update to highest version.
I've tried everything trying to get the update and nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestions.
I've hard reset and soft reset the phone i've reinstalled Zune and i've called Verizon, HTC and Microsoft for a solution and none have been able to help.
Is your phone unlocked?
Using a custom ROM?
On official firmware, with NO modifications to anything?
You can't update with any modifications...
Tapin' the Talk on the HTC Trophy
I'm on Stock offical Verizon Mango update. I've got no modifications at all was never able to unlock the phone.
OS version 7.10.8107.79

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you try to unlock before? Maybe your bootloader is messed up?
Sorry in not much help... You could maybe download the NoDo flash and re-upgrade through Zune.

Thanks Peperm1nt nothing so far has worked. But thanks for trying.
How did you install 8107? Did you force install the updates, or Zune update? Or did your phone come with 8107? I had issues getting my test VZW Trophy to update completely over Zune. I say, take this opportunity to install HSPL so you can have custom unlocked roms, and wait for a nice official Tango release.
Or you can try the Microsoft troubleshooter.. which basically says for error 80180048 to download and install the Windows Phone Support Tools and run some stuff. Try it, maybe it will work...
Or, you can follow my guide to get the phone unlocked once and for-all and BREAK free.... although I gotta revise the guide for tethering stuff with the official updates (which you would want to setup BEFORE installing a custom unlocked custom rom).

Looking for Firmware 40200

I recently downgraded my phone, and am wanting to get it back updated to 7.8, but the Mango update is failing because it doesn't have the 40200.661 firmware for my TELUS Surround. Does anyone know of the windows update link so I can download and install it?
Note that I have been using Zune to update my phone.
Thanks!
EDIT - Found an older Firmware - 15204.502, which is newer than the one on my phone (10402.661), however this isn't for TELUS (661). If anyone has this TELUS firmware, I'd appreciate it as well.
