Well...
Call me crazy but is there a way to flash a working WM 6.5 on to a Omnia 7 ?
The Hardware is great but i hate WP7...
Any Ideas ?
Highly unlikely to happen. they have to crack the bootloader first .. htc devices will get more support than samsung.. more devs focus on htcs
I would love to see some of the older windows mobile apps come to life in WP7. Surely it can't be too hard?
Maybe HTC HD2 could be a good solution? It has WM 6.5, Android can be installed or WP7 - there's so many opportunities.
yesterday I got the notification on my phone that an update was available. I have 7008 and I'm using an unlocked/unbranded phone on AT&T.
I just connected it to my computer and zune says there is no update available. I checked the settings and on the phone and it says there is no update, but it said there was when I checked yesterday.
I know I can get NoDo through other methods, but I'll wait. It's just weird that it doesn't find the update anymore.
Hi!
I've exactly the same problem!
I had the notification for an update on my omnia 7, i coonect it, and no update!
I wonder if the Nodo update is not delayed due to the 16 bit problem?
XIII
don't think that's why, I think that's just a problem with samoled displays. Even without NoDo gradients will have that issue.
But did you get the Nodo update?
No I didn't get a chance to update the day I saw the notification. Still on 7008 since last month, and I am experiencing the 16 bit problem.
Same here! I'm on an unbranded omnia 7, got the message that there is an update available around 3 days ago, but I was away and didn't have my laptop with me. I came back today, and zune says there are no updates available. W T F, samsung?
Welcome to the missing Nodo Team!
Any news? Mine still hasn't updated
Hey,
using the Omnia 7 in Germany, unbranded, T-Mobile.
Phone Version=7.07008 PRE-NODO
But no NoDo unfortunately
I already contacted Microsoft, Samsung an T-Mobile. Nobody seems to be able to solve my problem!
Mine still hasn't updated either
Same here, after reflashing, NoDO no more. No trick works anymore except ChevronWP7Updater.
NoDo
Just got an new Omnia 7 16gb today (unbranded / from Germany), was 7004 on it, updated the official way via Zune to 7008, the update was only found when I had the data connection set to on. But no NoDo update
Maybe they are trying to fix the 16bit banding before they are going to release it again or what do you guys think?
16Bit banding is not a problem with Samsung devices.
I am having the same issue Got a Omnia 7 the other day and the 7008 update went well - but have tried and tried to get the Nodo update - but no luck!

So you are saying that theres no 16Bit banding? or are you saying that the 16Bit banding is normal for the Omnia 7?
I just jumped from the HTC HD7 to the Omnia 7. On the HD7 I didnt have the banding when it was stock, I updated it to the NoDo update and after that it got 16Bit banding. My Omnia 7 seemed to have 16Bit banding from the start, but I thought it still was a bug?
I'm happy people start to wake up with this problem!
Maybe MS remove the update for an obscur reason...
I bought my Omnia 7 two weeks ago. Received - after connecting to Zune - the february update. But the Nodo update is not available yet. Not sure why and when it will comes. Makes me worry about it.... Simply because my HTC Trophy already received in first half of march!!
I haven't received any updates, over zune or otherwise. I hope this isn't an issue. Tried the Hungarian method a bit ago, but no luck so just waiting...
UK T-mobile branded Omnia 7 running on ATT Network
software version 7.0 (7004)

It's been there from the start with SAMOLED screens. Suposedly a technology limitation.

Any updates on this? I bought an Omnia 7 for my wife, and it only updates to 7008. My own Omnia 7 I could update to Nodo via the "Hungarian method", but this was before April 10. It seems that Microsoft has plugged that hole now.
So as you all may know....

I'm just waiting Mango to be released for HD2 to try Windows Phone on it.
The Samsung Omnia 7, the first Windows Phone of Samsung mobile will get a update to Mango.
This version will bring some new things to your device!
SamFirmware asked Maarten Sonneveld about the Omnia 7.
SamFirmware: @WindowsPhoneNL Hi will the Omnia 7 get Mango update?
WindowsPhoneNL: @SamFirmware Yes!
The update will come allround the autumn for the Omnia 7.

Today we also show a new CODE: GT-I8710.
This could be a new Windows Phone.
Hopefully Samsung will bring more Windows Phone devices.
Samsung is with only 1 phone one of the biggest players on the WP market thanks to the great hardware and absolute nice design.

Hi everyone,
Just been given a Samsung Omnia 7 to replace my old iPhone 3G. I haven't started using the phone yet as I wasn't sure if there was a better firmware for it or if you could jailbreak them like the iphone?
Is there anything like this available for the Omnia 7? I would like apps like eBay/whatsapp etc...
Thanks :good:
You can find some custom ROMs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=820
Apps like those are already available in the Marketplace
