Hi guy´s,
a couple of days ago I bought a T-mobile branded Samsung Omnia 7
System Ver: 7.0.7004.0
Firmware Rev: 2424.10.10.6
Hardware Rev: 3.15.0.4
Radio SW: 2424.10.10.6
Radio HW: 0.0.0.800
Bootloader Ver: 4.10.1.9 = "faulty" locked bootloader
Chip-soc-Ver: 0.36.2.0
HOW TO:
1. In order to debrand the phone I used these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973420
(since the bootloader ver 4.10.1.9 is locked, I had to get the updates (two!) through zune to unlock the bootloader. You can use the USB-Jigg as well to get rid of the faulty bootloader. After that I flashed back to I8700DBTJK1
2. Now you can do the "Chevron Unlock". I used these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
3. Use tomXAPinstaller to keep the phone from relocking with samsung_tools.xap and advanced_config_tool.xap
4. Install the latest updates.
5. Enjoy!
Now you have a debranded and unlocked phone with the latest updates (7392). You can install custom ringtones, sideload apps, etc. pp.
Cheers
ede
ps.: advanced config tool crashes when you hit "prevent phone from relocking", but it is working anyway ... no relock through zune (sideloading apps still works).
The Germans
This is my question!

My omnia 7 shuts down all the time.. i don't know what the issue is. I have hard reset the phone a couple of times.
It happens very often when charging. As soon as the screen turns off, 1 or 2 minutes later, it comes back on again, says "Goodbye" and phone swithces off and then restarts. I then have to insert the sim code again.
I had Mango installed and tried to turn off 3G in the diagnostics "app", by choosing GSM 800/1900 i think it was. It was then it started behaving weird, and restarting. I have since reverted it back to Automatic in the diagnostic window, gone back to NoDo, and done a hard reset.
Done some more testing. If the sim card is removed, all is normal. it charges, and everything is fine. As soon as sim card is inserted it starts shutting down all the time.
i have also tried having the sim card inserted, and click cancel when asked for sim. still it restarts.
will the diagnostic changes have been reverted once i hardreset?

Have you try this : http://www.samsung.com/no/consumer/...NEE/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support
I had the same problem a few month ago. It seems that firmware upgrade have resolve the problem for me
Dear dada051. Thanks for reply.
I went to the link. But is it the "Kies" i should install, or the patch? the patch is for installing NoDo? I already have it installed. But my firmware might be old. I believe the new one is KC1? I have JK1 out of the box i believe. Please help me..
Forget the "Kies" software. You should install http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=UNI_NO&CttFileID=4048024&CDCttType=SW&ModelType=N&ModelName=GT-I8700&VPath=SW/201105/20110524101224996/Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2.exe
(it's the direct link to the firmware updating software, v KC3)
If you use the first link i've post, you'll find the second link in the "Programvare" section
I have tried this now. It went to download mode, the program did something, and the phone restarted. Zune says that the software is up to date, as i have NoDo already. The firmware revision and radio version did not change. still the same as mentioned over.
Should i install a new ROM?
If you don't have the diagnosis app : dial ##634#
It create a link in your app list to disagnosis and launch it.
If you have the diagnosis app, launch it.
type *#1234# to display the firmware version
if it's not :
PDA: xxxxxxxKC1
Phone: xxxxxxxKB2
CSC: xxxxxxxxJK1
you have to install the ROM KC1 that you can find here http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i8700.htm (you need to be registred).
You will find any help you need to update your firmware in this site. I can help you tomorow if you need.
THE FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL ERASE ALL DATAS IN YOUR PHONE!!
My Phone : KC1/KB2/JK1
Firwmware : 2424.11.3.1
Radio software : 2424.11.2.2
bootloader : 5.3.0.4
Ok. i have now flashed to KC1.
Firmware: 242411.3.1
Hardware: 3.15.0.4
Radio software: 2424.11.2.2
Bootloader 5.3.0.4
And the phone has finally settled.
I have installed mango beta again, and i am charging the phone right now, and since the flash yesterday, no shutdowns.
Love my new omnia 7. yesterday, i was about to throw it away and go back to my iPhone 4.
I noticed some varius bugs happeing after some short time after you bought the phone. Pulling the battery and letting it lay around a short while seems to fix it, and never returns again after that.
Wery strange, but not sure that would have helped you, just saying that wierd things seems to happen with new Omnia 7 phones that with battery removment seems to fix the most.
Could be the same issue i had. I also removed the battery, and then inserted the battery again, also hardreset and flashing of KC1 firmware. No longer sure what fixed the problem

Kämpe flott when all can be fixed with battery removal: -)

Igår den 22:a blev ni ännu mer vår bror. Vet att norrmän har svårt med svenskar, men all sympati och kampvilja delas här. Vidrigt vad mänskligheten kan göra.
Thanks god, that I never had any problems with my omnia.
Omnia 7, dev locked, branded German T-Mobile ROM. Finally got a notification about 7740 update availability via Zune.
However update failed on some restore steps with error 8018009B twice .... any ideas what is this error and what can be done ?
Current state is (mango installed month ago via Zune) :
OS 7.10.7720.68
FW : 2424.11.9.4
HW : 3.15.0.4
radio SW: 2424.11.9.1
radio HW : 0.0.0.800
Bootloader : 5.9.3.0
Chip SOC : 0.36.2.0
Just delete and uninstall some unused files or apps from your device.
this error is appeared when your device has not enough space to install the update.
I had problems updating with live tiles on the start screen for some odd reason.
Does everyone has this update notification?

Just unboxed a Verizon Trophy today. Activated on the Network successfully.
Phone is running the following Windows Phone Version
OS Version: 7.0.7389.0
Firmware Revision Number: 2305.06.10322.605
Hardware Revision Number: 003
Radio Hardware Version: 1.52.00.03.28_23.15w.05.06U
Bootloader version: 1.3.230506.23
Chip SOC version: 2.3.0.5.6
The phone is saying no updates found.
Zune software did not update on initial connection.
When trying to manually update via Zune Software 4.8 the following error appears.
"Can't check for updates right now. Please try again later.
We couldn't connect to the update service. Disconnect and reconnect your phone, then try installing the update again.
80072EE7"
This error has occurred on three separate computers including a fresh install.
While this device is brand new it's no longer under warranty.
Any Ideas?
Verizon, HTC, and Microsoft have no clue whats going on.
Screw that, you have two options.
SPL hack, custom rom. Read my guide here to find out how!
Benefits:
Full unlock, run stuff like Opera!
Internet sharing enabled!
Download the newest rom and flash it. You won't lose any data since you have non to lose. Go to footballs thread here and get "RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.04.605.02_Radio_NV_0215_NV58008_RELEASE.exe".
Sorry I didn't catch this thread earlier, but I hope this helps. I'd just do a full unlock. :/ Having the shipping rom and the 1.03 bootloader (you should), you should be able to unlock very easily.
Sorry, double post... lost internet during first post. Please delete.
I recently bought a used Verizon HTC Trophy. I registered it on Verizon and it works fine, both voice and data.
I suspect it may have been a developer phone. If it is I don't mind, but I do mind that I cannot update it using Zune. It keeps telling me that an Update is available (Mango), but when I try to update via Zune it fails with error 80180048.
The phone particulars are as follows:
OS version 7.0.7403.0
Firmware revision number 2305.06.10310.605
Hardware revision number 0003
Radio software version 1.52.00.01.16_23.13w.05.06U
Radio hardware version 3.2.3.D4
Bootloader version 1.3.230506.10
Chip SOC 2.3.0.5.6
The phone also has the following apps installed, which is why I think it may be a developer device.
zGestureBester
zSensorView
zServiceTools
zStartKIGL
Finally, when I turn the phone on it shows the bootloader version and the modem version in the uper left corner of the HTC splash screen.
I am wondering if the bootloader version (or firmware version) is keeping me from upgrading. I took a look around the internet and did not see any references to the .10 version of the bootloader, but I did see post which mentioned that the wrong bootloader can mess up Zune updates.
My preference would be to revert to a simple consumer phone, but at a minimum I'd at least like to be able to get the Mango and HTC radio updates onto the phone. Any suggestions would me much appreciated, and sorry for the noob post.
Thanks
