Just got my new M5000 after i accidentally threw the last one across the work car park.
I have just spent the last 45 mins browsing the site to work out what the latest roms and radios are so that i can get my nice virgin phone up to date.
However all i did was get very confused easily done im afraid.
Could someone please give me a difinitive answer on which updates i should run.
thanks in advance
Tim
First question is did you have any problems with your original M5000?
If not, dont fix something that is not broken!
If the original ROM worked ok for you.. stick with it.. I have...
Sensible searching in this forum will find you cures to most issues without upgrading your ROM...
If you still want to upgrade your ROM I'll leave the answer to 'which' & 'how' to others who have tried and tested it...
i had upgraded the radio to 1.6 i think but i see there is a 1.9 now but i cant find the exe to download.
Upgrade the radio, but don't bother with the extended rom.
Just remember to take note of the GPRS connection settings before you hard-reboot.
I had a replacement M5000 a few weeks ago i am now running the latest orange rom with radio 1.09.
It works great however one word of note i had to update the rom 3 times before the calender worked i assume the file must have corrupted during upload.
Can you point me in the right direction for the roms and radio
Well..when i bought it , i over loaded it with aplications that it took few minutes to load.
stupid me, i tried to upgarde the Rom , by downloading it, basicly i ****ed it , and finally i succeeded to find an older version , and it works fine...but.:
it doesn't last long , editing the contacts , or receiving few calls, it shuts down..
is it a battery problem..?i had it for 2 years ,and my wiled guess is that battery life is over..but i cant be sure about it.
its a vodafone v1640 , unlike the UK site, the Italian site does not give any upgrading options.
so,if you are Italian , and you have the new rom..would you write me..?
thanks guys
Hi,
I'm italian and I have the V1640.
Your problem seem to be a battery problem, I read other threads of these problems.
I've the Vodafone ITA ROM, UNI_VODA_IT_130106_130260_11410_ITA.exe.
I thing it is the last vodafone italian rom.

Omnia bootload mode available?
Hi all
Anyone know if there is a bootload mode for Omnia?
I was updating my phone using the new firmware and it was halfway through 'file 2' and my computer froze up! All I could do was reboot the computer.
Now my phone is dead. It does not get recognised by ActiveSync to try to run the firmware again. The only thing that comes up on the phone is the first 'Samsung Omnia' logo.
Any Ideas?
Cheers

The only way to repair your Omnia (for the moment), is to take it to Samsung Center Service, with this update from Samsung, you don't lose the waranty even if somethig goes wrong at update.
Read the FAQ on samsung update site
Hey there, cool to see omnia users on xda-dev
Maybe mine got shipped with a different rom, coz I already had google launcher in programs (but not the other changes).
Could you please all list your device infos, to check whether we all got the same or not ?
Here are mine : pda/phone i900DXHG2, bluetooth 2.0.3 & 2.0.1, wifi 0.4.3.1 & 1.0
You can find everything under settings -> system -> version
Also, here is another board with dedicated section for omnia
Do you know any other board ? There's also ppcsg with many infos but no dedicated section.
I tried a few button combination to achieve either a hardreset or bootloader access, but couldn't find anything up now.
Maybe with a microsd card and a password file, as on some other devices.
Any trick to share ?
niko
Here is my data (german rom):
PDA i900XGHG5/BHHG6
Phone i900XXHG3
BT 2.0.3 / 2.0.1
WiFi 0.4.3.1 / 1.0
thx for sharing, looks like there already are many rom versions for omnia, I guess this is a very good thing.
Any special issue or special thing about this rom ?
Just found that for hardware hardreset, might help:

Omnia Rom
Knowing this new rom is for Singapore only. Can Malaysia version use it? Any problem if we flash it with Singapore one?
Lagging
I had gotten an Omnia sometime last month. Before and after updating to their(Samsung) new official ROM, the Omnia stills seems to be lagging under performing. What could the problem be? The last update was at the service center.
Any good roms to recommend?
you ALL need to read i900.modaco.com and check out the ROM FAQ at the top.
It tells you how the names of the roms translate, what they mean and how it affects you. It will also tell you about the latest roms and which have been tested including the latest J5 rom. It will also tell you about the two methods you have for rom flashing.
Hi there...
I read a lot about the upgrade dell'Omnia, opinions are more varied ..
I feel to receive a 3G dual-band: 900 and Umts 2100 and not Gsm: Quad Band (850/900/1800/1900).
Believe could be a problem using the new rom official from Samsung (i900XIHJ3 )...???...
Thanks to those who have the patience to answer
Someone know if I buy a Polish Omnia if I can Rom update it to English??

Hi Guy ... I had the same problem , and tried many ROM and also the Original Rom From HTC .... so far it works ,,, but i lost the GPS functionality ,... so i wanted to get the Wm6.1 or 6.5 ....
and i discovered one thing makes it works without stopping on boot ,,,
if i twisted the device and boot it from the button ,,, it works fine and stable for many days ,,, so i think it maybe breakage on the circuit board ,,, but i tried many times and it works,.,,,
now aday i m using wm6.1 from Thailand .... PDA MOBIZ ..very fast and stable
Try it ,,,,
i canceled the idea of buying anew PDA
it s working fine
Thanks

Hi Guy,
can you explain your solution? how to apply it. i am not an english speaking native so if you can explain it step by step

Hi
I am new to all of this , i have got a std hd on orange (well not any more )
rom version 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
I thought i would tart simple and kick off with the latest HTC rom... see how that improved things for me... i put the SN of my handset into the downloader on the HTC support site and got a message saying that it was not suitable for this device... WTF...
I am kinda lost now , all i want is a smoother, more responsive handset that doesnt freeze up on me...
any pearls of wisdom ??
because you bought your device from orange you can't use HTC.COM for ROM updates. When orange bought the devices HTC technically washed their hands of any software involvement (hotfixes not included).
Orange (like most networks) Take the stock ROM and modify it to their liking adding in stuff they want you to access. Take a Sony Ericsson for example. In the menu instead of play now and Internet, they have swapped this for stuff that will take you straight to an orange website that you have to download their content and no one elses.
In short if you want a new ROM you will have to use either HSPL or USPL to unlock the phone and allow ROMs to be flashed.
There is a number of HTC upgrade roms available in the wiki (available shipped roms)and also lots of cooked roms to try. I suggest you read up on flashing in the wiki and also read this dummies guide/tutorial
