guys,
where I can download the original Samsung Omnia 7 ROM without any mobile carrier customization.
Hi,
Why do you want it? There aren't any carrier customisations apart from the splash screen
serg
There is the small annoyance of the default search in internet explorer not being bing search with some carriers.
Is it possible to change the rom?
Never heard of that before...
my mobile was locked to Three UK carrier and right now I don’t have any problem expect that I cannot send or receive MMS. I though maybe the MMS is been locked to the carrier.
Also, I want to get ride out of the slash logo in the beginning..
Yes it's possible to flash a diffrent ROM (I have flashed my H3G provided phone with a T-mobile branded version, this was the only working ROM I could find).
One reason besides getting bing search would be to be able to run the Samsung Network Profile app from the Marketplace.

Where did you find the t-mobile ROM? is there a 3g/2g toggle now?
on www.samfirmware.com or just google I8700DTMJJ6 for alternatives.
There's a use 3G connection when available option under settings >> cellular but I'm not sure if that's what you mean.
Could there be some problems if the Omnia 7 is locked from the provider when flashing this specific samsung firmware ?
I'd like to try it but don't want to brick my device (o:
//edit
mhmm, just wondering why this codes won't work..can the provider lock them ?

That's interesting...
I've had mine unlocked (it was bought as Three UK) and when I go to diagnosis menu it says everything is unlocked:
lock status menu - all DISABLED
network lock - DISABLED
subset: DISABLED
SP LOCK: DISABLED
CP LOCK: DISABLED
Still - I cannot use SAMSUNG's network profile changer and my mms are not working ;-(
just flashed my Omnia 7 to I8700DTMJJ6. Although my Omnia 7 is not from that region but so far everything is working fine.

please explain more,
how did you do it?
where are you from and was your mobile lock to a carrier before your flashed ?
As far as I'm concerned, mine is Orange (fr) locked and was on JJ4. I flashed it with DTMJJ6 (T-online) and all works fine (except 3G wich needed the net profil app to work perfectly).

First of all my device is from singtel, Singapore and its official unlocked. I am from Malaysia and bought this phone from Singapore. there are only 2 firmware available from samfirmware.com
However, only tmjj6 is flashable. I followed the user guide. Make sure Samsung USB driver is installed prior to the below steps.
1. Unzip/unrar the downloaded jj6 with password "samfirmware.com"
2. Make sure your phone is not locked to carrier (sorry for those locked phone). Switch off your phone and make sure is unplug from PC.
3. Launch the flash tool, then select all the unzipped file, drag and drop it into the flash tool. It will then auto load up the necessary files.
4. Hold volume up+home button+power button
5. The moment the phone powered up, let go all the buttons, it will then boot into download mode.
6. Plug your phone to PC, your PC will detect your phone and install USB driver accordingly.
7. If drivers are installed, you will notice the flash tool detected your phone. Hit the start button and that's it, wait till everything is ready then you can unplug the cable.

you can refer to my steps. This only applicable for non lock phone. Download the firmware and flash tool from samfirmware.com
Mine was locked on Orange and the DTMJJ6 (T-Online) works on it.

thank you for sharing this information, can you answer the following:
After the upgrade can you access marketplace ?
How to back to original image come with the mobile ?
Why you shift to t- mobile ?
The main Samsung Approved Service Center here in Kenya has just given up on my SGS 1900 UK Model Nov 2010, originally 2.1 firmware upgrade via KIES to Froyo 2.21 in March 2011. They have handed it back unfixed after a week. Cant find a problem like this on any forum/google. Can find one that is fixable with the resistor jig, but Samsung dealer says his jigs don't help:
1) Press power, on comes B&W Samsung GT I900 screen, then the mosaic graphic that resolves to the glowing big "S". Then it buzzes feebly. Eventually it goes black but keeps buzzing now and then. Power off works.
If you poke around trying to get it into 3 touch reset, the Menu and Back keys light up and stay lit.
2) 3 Touch reset will not work. Dunno if it ever did as never tried before.
3) Plug into USB charger, it charges fine and shows the charger icon.
4) Plug into KIES and after a lot of attempts, KIES identifies it + firmware and connects. I can see and save my contacts and it displays CONTACTS, INTERNAL SD and CALENDAR folders in KIES. No more
5) ODIN ( which I dunno how 2 use but have) sees the SGS's COM when I plug it to my comp.
6) The dealer claims to have tried to resart/reflash with Samsung jigs. He has handed it back with a "cant fix".
What the heck is going on here? Looks like I have lost a few hundred bucks and have to throw it away.
When did this start? Phone was working perfectly. Suddenly a solid red icon with large white star labelled "Web Page" appeared on home page but no such App was found in SETTINGS>ETC. In any case, "Web Page" just led me to a totally innocuous page I use all the time as a homepage on INTERNET app. A few starts and shutdowns after that ( the battery was getting low so swx'd on and off like 3 times over an hour), it just went into (1) above.
Phone is STOCK, no mods, no reflashes,no rooting etc
Thanks
Peter in Darkest Africa
if odin can 'see' you handset, have you tried flashing the ROM again? find a stock froyo rom from one of the threads here in the general section (click here) or download from samfirmware.com .
Once you have the rom files, kill all the KIES tasks using the task-manager in windows. Get your phone into download mode by pressing volume down+menu button+power button until you get the yellow screen showing the android working. then open odin 1.7 and connect your handset. once odin connects, click on the buttons for PDA,PHONE and CSC in odin and browse to the appropraite file which you've download in the rom. also click on the PIT button, browse to the odin folder and select the 512.pit file. Once this is done, check the main odin window to make sure the check-box next to 're-partition' is checked. click start and it should flash the new firmware for you.
Disclaimer: I do not take responsibility for any harm that may come to your phone during the flashing process. The instuctions above are accurate but are to be performed at your own risk.
flash Darky Rom 10.1 with JVO Modem . Best GPS i´ve ever had, and my GPS was really bad.

@frostygenius
I don´t think that your instrunctions ARE accuarate. You don´t even mention that he has to be in Download mode if he wants to use Odin. Also you advise to connect phone right after opening Odin and than insert the files, but some versions of Odin are known that they malfunctioning if you do this in this order, You should first insert files and set odin and after that plug in your phone.
And if he claims that he is on stock since bought the phone, so maybe he never used it before.
@peterg123
I´m not exactly following what happens to your phone. If I understand correctly the Samsung released defective ROM via KIES and after a week turn it down? But you already updated and now your phone is broken? If yes, I think that Samsung service center should repair your phone or if its serious damage than even replace it.
Is the phone able to boot-up and work properly? Is your recovery mode and/or download mode working? If the download mode (use 3-button combo - VolDown+Home+Power) is working then you can try recover on your own, but be careful, dont do anything before you are sure that you know what you are doing. You can go through this post before start [HOWTO] [REF] [FAQ] [Guides] [Tutorials] Flash/Root/ADB/ROM [MUST READ!].
Also go through the forum or samfirmware.com and find your official version of rom (Eclair 2.1) to be sure that you can anytime revert to this one because of warranty.
EDIT: Also can you please post some photos or video showing what happens to your phone?
Ok, I dunno if this is gonna help but I had a very similar issue when I first got my phone, within a week of owning it.
Points 1-3, exactly what happened mine.
Points 4 & 5 I didn't try, (was fairly new to Android)
Left it in to my local Vodafone shop & within 5 days I had it back in perfect working order, the maintenance report stated faulty hardware, the display module had to be replaced. Maybe worth mentioning to the service guy?

Thanks for the heads-up I forgot to mention those points. I've updated my original post.

Thanks, it is not possible to get into download mode, or I would have done all that. As explained, the phone will not go past the giant "S" logo ( 3rd screen after power on). This problem has happened to many people, worldwide.
As explained the three button default firmware does not work.
The Samsung repair agent claims to have used the 301k resistor method to restart the phone and even that failed. I am not sure if this is true but he said so.. not sure because everybody reports success with this.
ODIN, as I said ( 1.8) recognises the COM connection just as does KIES. The problem is, I am not in download mode so can't reflash if I tried.
I have used the phone for 10 weeks since firmware upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 during which I had no problems except the occasional process stopped errors.
Hope this help, thanks for trying for me
Yes you are correct, I can't get download mode. The phone has never been reflashed or messed with. It came with 2.1 and using KIES in March I reflashed to 2.2 and it worked perfectly for 10 weeks until it semi-bricked.
There is the Black Screen of eath...then there is the pulsasing S screen of limbo! That's what I have.
The only harwdare clue I have is the SGS blew the fuse in my car charger shortly before "expiring"...yet if connected to USB or other charger, it charges the battery and displays the logo.

..But download mode doesn't display the S logo or even the first Galaxy S 1900 logo...it goes straight in.
Try looking up in the Development section - I'm sure there is a jig method in there and it might be worth trying yourself, you've not got mush to lose now.
If you can get into download mode eventually, search for and flash Ezbase, that will get you onto a rooted firmware and it works EVERY single time for me. Good luck.
@R34L2Pac
Hi, thanks. As posted, the stock UK model SGS 1900 with 2.1 Eclair worked perfect from Nov to March 2011, was firmware upodated by KIES in March 2011 to 2.2.1 Froyo and worked like a dream until it went "semi-bricked" with the "Logo of Limbo" screen ( the pulsating giant S) for no reason.
A week before this, I changed SIMs when I changed countries and for some reason lost all added apps. I had to re-install them and even then, sometimes twice as I got many "android process stopped" errors --- even on some of the Sansung installed ones like Layar. That is the only problem I ever had.
The phone has only had apps from Market and never been modded whatsoever. Many thanks
Hi,
You said that you can see a pulsating S logo, sound to me like your phone is bootlooping. But you didnt mention if you can get at least to recovery(VolUp+Home+Power)? If you can get into recovery, you could try just factory reset your phone from recovery and reboot your system.
Also in the development forum you can find some kernels which can be flashed via recovery (like speedmod K13 for Froyo), so you can try to flash this kernel and after reboot into CWM recovery you could try to connect phone to ADB and type the command "adb reboot download".
I read on the forum that the home-made jig method worked for everyone, so looks like the samsung technician was doing something wrong. It is worth trying to made one a see what it does. Also found this thread, where user cuperus claims that even with charger can be simulated the jig by heating-up your device. So you can also try it, just plug your phone to a charger, let it charge for 1hour and than try use 3-button combo to go to download mode.

Sorry I should have mentioned that it will not get into 3 button recovery mode, that has zero effect or rather, just sends it to the "Logo of Limbo" ( pulsating "S") just as does the power button.
Will maybe try a long charge time and see if that helps! Many thanks
Try en carefully learn hw to use odin coz I gt tha same exact model. I hav flashed mine many tyms en am on 2.3.4 XXJVP. if u do gt into download mode odin will sort u. Regards frm K.poly.

how long have you tried holding down the 'volume down+menu+power' keys? a simple quick press of the three buttons does not work. you have to keep holding them all down for a bit (sometimes upto to 15-20 seconds) for it to go into download mode.
Sorry for the fast answer but I'm at work atm... I think he needs to do the 3 combo button fix on his phone first. I know it's on the forum somewhere... Can anyone check it for him? I lost the 3 combo the first time I updated with Keys from 2.1 to 2.2 and I had to fix it using a program that I can't remember to go on download mode and apply that fix.
Then he can use Odin to flash a stock rom as he needs, plus having 3 combo fixed!
Good luck mate!

Possible fix for your problem
Hi peterg,
I was looking through the general forum and found this post, where user beamzuk1 describes method how he fixed his semibricked phone. Symptoms are the same (not booting, glowing soft-keys, vibrating, no recovery and no download mode). So he used 'adb reboot recovery', I would say that proper command is 'adb reboot download', but you can try both. Also go through guide HOWTO use ADB, which I posted here the link in earlier post.
Hope this will help.
PS: Try follow beamzuk1 step-by-step, because if you start phone earlier than you connect it to pc, adb might not recognize the phone. Also be sure that you have correctly installed drivers and android-sdk before you try this.
These phones come with a 2 year warranty. Why don't you contact Samsung directly yourself - telling them that the local repair centre wouldn't fix/replace it for you. If you did nothing besides what you described, then I would have thought you were entitled to have it fixed or replaced by Samsung.

Also think that Samsung should repair it or replace it.
The fact your repair center has done nothing to fix your phone, in several occasions, now entitles you to brand new replacement or your money refunded in full, contract terminated and expenses paid for your losses incurred as a result of their negligence.
Why not hit them up for the SGS 2.
I had the same issue with my first Galaxy S...wifi stopped working at first, I turned it off then on again but nothing changed. So I rebooted to see if it would correct itself. Bootloops and no 3 button combo (download or recovery)
Sent it off to Samsung through the Carphone Warehouse in the UK. I'd contact a Samsung Service Centre directly if I were you.
Hello, I'm having problems rooting my s4 i9505 v4.4.2
I would try and install a different version than the one I had on my phone but this did not go as I thought.
I used Odin v3.07 and try me out, but something went wrong I did not finish what I was doing, and will now cancel all together.
Now comes my problem. When I turn on the phone (after empty battery) comes into download mode. If I use the phone, I only use it in Safe Mode.
Could you be so kind and help me to make my phone back to normal? What do I need to do. I am using android 4.4.2.
My phone must be switched off in mist 15 hours before it turns on "normal" (with all apps) Trying to connect it to Odin again, but what must I do to get your phone back to normal mode?
Excuse my English, but googgle translator is my friend now

flash stock firmware 4.4.2 via odin. you can not downgrade to 4.3 or to 4.2.2 because of the new bootloader
if you want to root go here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip, scroll down and click on CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip. Unzip it and flash it via odin as ap. flash root after you flashed stock 4.4.2 firmware
Hello, and thanks for a answer
I have not installed 4.4.2 on my phone. This version was upgraded by samsung its server. (original) for a good while ago
My phone was put into download mode AFTER I tried to install a different operating system via Odin.
so my question is: How can I disable the download mode on my phone?
( I don`t know how I use Odin ) Who should I choose: Bootloader, PDA, Phone or CSC ?

Good Lord, have mercy....
So, in post #1, you have stated that you used Odin... in post #3 you are telling us that you do not know how to use it...
OK...go here, pick your preferred stock ROM (from 4.2.2 options). It will lead you to download page, which contains a short but good instruction, answering your question what to flash as well.
And, DO NOT interrupt the flashing process.

I know but if the server (I think you mean OTA) updated it to 4.4.2, odin will fail to flash 4.3 or 4.2.2 so download 4.4.2 firmware and flash it via odin as pda.
Go to settings->more tab->Device Information-> Press home + power buttong. it will take screenshot.
plug in usb cable to pc and to galaxy s4
go to internal storage-> screenshots upload it here so we can see which version you have
Hello
Ok .... sorry. I tried using Odin, but could obviously not, since the phone is in download mode.
I do NOT want to install anything. Just want back my old phone as it was. Then again. How do I disable download mode?
Do I need to install anything on the phone.... to get it back to normal startup .... WITHOUT download mode?

IF your phone boots to download mode, it usually means: corrupted update of ROM or not completed update. This means: currently there is no operational ROM on your phone, sorry.
Furthermore, you CANNOT use Odin WITHOUT going to download mode. To use Odin, you MUST set your phone to that status.
Now, going to your situation:
You have two options:
1. when phone is in download mode, download and install Samsung KIES to your PC, connect phone and follow the procedure. It will most lokely download and install the latest firmware available for your phone.
2. Go to mentioned by me earlier page, download manually firmware of your choice, and follow the instructions there.
NO OTHER OPTIONS.
Hello
I have installed KIES, there are no updates available
also .... KIES do not get contact the phone when it is in download mode.( I try that now )
Sorry that I ask, but what is ROM? is the operating system android 4.4.2?
ps: you say: Furthermore, you CANNOT use Odin WITHOUT going to download mode. To use Odin, you MUST set your phone to that status.
I can not connect to Odin when I put my phone in download mode.

1. Yes, ROM is operating system. no, it is not necessarily the 4.4.2 version.
2. Odin shall see your phone if you'll connect it to PC. On PC: start task manager (using Ctrl+alt+Del), go to processes and kill everything with KIES in name. Then start Odin, then connect the phone, wait approx 20-30 secs and make the screenshot from PC. Put it here.
3. I did not asked you to perform the update, but to perform emergency recovery according to this procedure (may slightly vary depending from the KIES version.
However, if the phone is not visible on your PC by KIES and by Odin, it is something wrong more deeply... Connect the phone to PC, go to device manager and take a look if it is visible there (like samsung phone, android phone/device or adb device).
IF your phone is not visible by PC (assuming that the Samsung drivers are installed correctly on your PC, it shall be installed with KIES), you may have to go to the service center as your only available option.
You may try the JTAG option (use Google to look for it), but it is too complicated for newbie, sorry.
PS: sorry, for me it is obvious, but may be not so obvious for you: battery shall be above 60% while starting connection to pc in download mode. I'd recommend you to charge it fully on phone turned off, then start checking connections.
ok
So just to summarize:
You have no idea how to use Odin, yet you decide to flash your phone?
You don't have any backups?? That's the number 1 rule to do.
What rom did you try to flash? Did the flashing succeed? Or didn't you flash any rom, but where you just trying to root it?
Hello,
I was trying to flash Twrp recovery in my phone using flashify. It said flash successfully and i rebooted. It starting bootlooping. I manually tried by pressing Volume up + Home+Power keys it was still doing bootloop. I tried to goto download mode by pressing Volume Down+ Home+Power keys it still kept bootlooping even USB jig didn't work. I need your valued suggestion about what to do next.

Just flash your firmware from Odin using a PC, I had a similar problem in my tablet, it didn't had download mode either and that worked, try it.
When I connect it to Pc it keeps bootlooping and pc gives sound of connecting then disconnecting of hardware.

Turn off your device, keep your finger in the button until the device is off or pull off the battery, connect it to the PC and flash your firmware through Odin, at that moment I used the 3.70 i think but you can use the latest version it's fine, that should install download mode and the whole firmware if that doesn't work I'm afraid I don't know how else I can help, that's what I did and it worked

You are right I did it the same way and it worked for me too. I actually was thinking the phone was quite dead bur or wasn't, I just flashed the recovery firmware 4.4.4 Russian and if you ask me food the step by step procedure it was just like this:
1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see is it was detected or not, my surprise the Odin catch it, and shown added and the port number was 18.
2. I just pulled out the USB cable from my laptop and loaded the BL file only to just flash the bootloader file and see what would happen, I was trying it bcz I was totally disappointed with the device i.e. Grand Prime 530H Duos. I also noticed that my device was not stable even with that black screen it used to restart after almost five minutes in that case. And I knew that in 5 minute I will just be able to flash BL file. The BL file was loaded on the Odin now and I inserted the USB cable again while keeping the vol down button pressed to my laptop when the Odin again found and connected with my device, I didnot take any more time to flash BL file.
3. As soon as i had not flashed all the SW therefore, my device didn't boot properly, and I thought it didn't work but when my device was connected to the computer I just listened the startup tone of the Android 4.4.4. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Hello guys! Could you please help me with the same issue? The difference is that Odin doesn't recognize when I plug in my phone! I don't know what else to do. It's a G530H.
Thank you very much!

Now as far as knew the phone is on but showing nothing, I had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin bar which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Is your USB cable original is it working on other devices? And are you using a USB 2.0 port, that is very much necessary, for Odin and some other hardware/software environment applications. And you also must have Samsung USB drivers installed in your PC, you can also try all this process on some other PCs

Hello!
Yes, that USB works with other phones. And even not being the original one, it was working to transfer files before this issue...
It is a USB 2.0 port, and even when I go to "Device Manage" on Windows, it doesn't show any port with an unknown device or something like that...
Thanks!

Charge your phone for some time and see if it turns on and if it does go to download mode or emergency recovery screen is download mode too and try the following steps
1. While your phone is on the Emergency Recovery Screen or download mode, connect it to the computer.
2. Open Odin and load all the firmware files. Download the original firmware file
3. You will find that Odin has already detected your phone.
4. The options checked in Odin should be F.Reset.Time and Auto-Reboot.
5. After making all the preparations, click on the “Start” button in Odin.
6. Let the firmware flashing end. Once done, disconnect the phone and let it turn on. You will be out of the Emergency Recovery/Download mode Screen now.
IMP: Download the original firmware file for your phone

Which firmware did you attempt to flash? For your device only 3 firmwares will work, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan. It's not a Multi-CSC device so if you attempted flashing the Egypt firmware (Exynos) you could be SOL.

I had a device - laptop connectivity issue on my SM-G9750. I tried updated drivers, different cables and adapters. Strangely enough it wasn't until I updated Windows 10 that the problem was solved. If you haven't done so you might give this a shot.

This! + Unplug laptop & remove battery after update. Replace battery, plug in, go to Odin afterwards
