I tried different machines before I sorted the connectivity problem to establish connection to my device until finally my PC can recognise my device.
Now comes the next headache, after getting the connection established I clicked on firmware upgrade - it came up and displays some updates are available -
it shows my current version as:
(PDA)JE9/(Phone)JE9
available update as:
(PDA)JF4/(Phone)JF4
When clicked on 'proceed' - it brings up some warning for me to make sure they are fixed before I proceed further like power cables connected and some warning of not removing or doing anything during upgrade, after I check 'agree' it starts the download by letting me know that the binary files for the new firmware is being downloaded and after the dowload there seems to be a wait creating impatience for us as to what next...after a few seconds I can see the message above the progress bar saying that the upgrade process has begun..
I can see the screen on my SGS display come with the android logo on some work (like road construction work) and the message telling upgrade in progress do not disconnect...it stays in that state for around a minute...no progress in the progress bar....Now suddenly the PC says 'failed to convert to upgrade mode, try later' and even after stopping my phone continues to show the frozen screen with 'upgrade in progress' (getting us confused and scared and dont know if I can unplug - will this brick my device all sorts of question) until I shut down my SGS and reboot to see it is normal as before but whenever I connect for the firmware upgrade all that I know is I am pending new upgrade.
I am stuck and can't proceed further - I tried it many times with many machines no luck. Please anybody suggest a way out.
Some info on my device: Bought in UK, sim free phone from Singapore Singtel as I see the operator's animation in the startup screen.
Other details on firmware:
PDA:I9000DXJE9
Phone:I9000DXJE9
CSC:I9000OLBJE9
In the settings 'About Phone' carries details:
Version: DXJE9
Kernel: [email protected]# (does this mean the device is rooted already?)
I have another question since I saw somebody mention in another thread that whether he/she should do a european firmware upgrade or asian firmware upgrade - I still confused by this question as well, which upgrade will be pushed to you if you are using Kies as it is just one same application made available for download globally.
somebody please help me with the upgrade issue.
isn't there any dev who can help me on this, it looks like i am the only one experiencing this!!!
I don't think many people are getting the upgrade options via kies at the moment.
I'm not seeing it on UK JF3
so hope, there isn't an issue with my device. I am weary because this was purchased from an online site but purchased the device after checking it personally.
One more question, will an unlocked phone get locked after any new firmware updates?
Are sim free and unlocked phones follow different philosophy ie., after unlocking a phone does that become a sim free phone forever.
Second question, how does the OTA update work - if you are not tied to a service provider - does samsung send these directly to all sim free phones automatically, looking and searching for IMEI numbers? and will a rooted phone be allowed to upate to froyo or any official update (for example) via the official Kies?
thanks
There isn't any offical firmware updates, via Kies, and or any other method.

Pls dont give wrong information. If you are suggesting something make it elaborate and clear.
I have clearly mentioned that I can see my current version as: (PDA)JE9/(Phone) JE9
Update available version:
(PDA) JF4/(Phone) JF4
thats what is displayed via Kies. I am also aware from this forum that some people can see the update whilst others dont see any.
Having said that, I was asking a techy questions as to whether a OTA upgrade or a upgrade via Kies from Samsung still happen if the phone is rooted and also if the phone is sim free and not attached to any service providers will the OTA upgrade will happen if so, is it based on IMEI number that will automatically be tracked OTA.
S
I was wondering if anyone found a solution to this problem? I am having the same problem.
I'm looking at this also.
after following this: (oh great, can't post links)
I had a problem updating to the official Foyo via Kies.
Finally got my PC to recognise the phone then started the update.
Phone screen went all green part way through and nothing was happening for about 20 mins so unplugged.
Phone would switch on but came up with a little picture on the screen and thats it.
so got it updated to JPM by booting into download mode and using odin. Took 5 mins once I downloaded all the files.
Hey,
I have an Omnia 7 (16GB) from Deutsche Telekom, which isn't pushing the update yet (according to the Update Schedule). I've tried the internet pull-trick multiple times, but without success. Exactly what i expected.
I used to be in the Mango Beta (thanks to mangoforall 0.2), and was able to update to the final build (including the cleanup update). Only problem was that i didn't get any new firmwares, so I couldn't use the compass etc.
My idea was to roll back to my NoDo backup, and update back to Mango through the official update procedure. Problem is, my device isn't receiving the update yet. And yes, I still don't know what I was thinking at that moment.
Does anyone know what my best option is to get back to mango?
-I could use the tool again (will that still work? what would i get?)
-I could wait, but that's not a realistic option, already getting sick of NoDo again
-Do i have a third option?
Thanks in advance!
Your solution
Hi after i was suck off didn´t get any update to my omnia ,one like yours, i took a bit time and searched on google where i found the notification that i´ll have to wait until november ,just to long to survive without mango so for your driverupdate i can say the following :http://www.onlinewelten.com/link.ph...ekom-gebrandetes-omnia-7-ohne-kabeltrick.html
What is the pull trick ?
I did this way: press the "look for updates" button in zune with phone connected.
While it's searching for updates, disconnect the pc internet from internet after 3 to 6 secs, BEFORE it says "your phone is already updated"
It will tell you "you have an upgrade" !
Reconnect (press the wifi button or re-plug the cable) and go on
Is this the pull trick ?
I'd call it the most-strange-trick

in your zune sync options, click on "update" and disconnect your internet after a second (pull your cat5 off your pc or laptop. If your on wireless turn the wireless off. whatever it takes to get your internet off in like a second or two). Wait until it finishes searching (like 20 seconds) and it should pop up if done correctly.
goodluck

I've been trying to do it for four days now. The only message i get after 20 sec is a connection error.
Have you tried flashing a new ROM?
When you've tried everything, I think this is your last resort because it will take some reasonable effort especially if you've never flashed a ROM before.
I have the same phone, the T-Mobile branded Omnia from Germany. I debranded my phone by flashing the XXJL3 RETAIL UNITED KINGDOM ROM since its default is English which I found very convenient.
You can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131891
Now comes the tricky part. Here are the full steps: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-flash-a-rom-in-samsung-omnia-7-guide/
After you've done that, do the pull trick everyone's talking about: disconnect your PC from internet 2-3 seconds after reclicking the 'Update' tab.
I've updated to Mango and trust me it's worth it. And having a debranded phone is liberating.
I hope everything works well for you. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Can't get my phone to update
Hi,
Thanks for the tips, however I can't get my LG Optimus E900 to update.
I have tried the force update method and also the manual cab method but the manual cab method backs up the phone and installs the cabs, then fails with an error saying no applicable package...
Any further ideas on how I can update my device? It's a European LG Optimus E900 model if that makes any difference.
Thanks

I have a European Optimus and i forced the update.Just follow the steps provided in the link.
Hi, thanks however I have tried the force update method several times as well as ensuring all the cabs are in as per the manual update instructions including ensuring the right language packs are there but still get exactly the same error as before.. no applicable packages... guess I'll have to give up for the time being and try again in a couple of weeks or so...
E900H: Update went smoothly, even if I had to use the disconnect trick (force update). I had an Internet sharing option form another ROM, and it was not removed for the simple reason that when you use an other carrier ROM, it's this one that's get updated, leaving all the functions and features like they were before.
Unlock is removed by the way but seems that you can get it back with MFG.
I hope also that SIP (VOIP) is now available with 7.8 because it's what I am really missing from IOS or Android!
What has 80072FA8 error or just no update found!
On this time I tried a long time update with disconnect trick. But... no updates.
NOW... from FIRST time update was found!
Solution:
yeah... first of all good things happen to UK. So we will use UK proxy.
Go to Settings - mobile network , then edit apn. In "APN, Username, Password" I typed my provider settings. In "Proxy server/URL" type 109.169.40.229 and in "Proxy port" type 8080. Here Done.
Next step: in computer STILL connected internet, in phone wifi is disconnected.
And last step: in Zune click update. Waiting about ~2 minutes, because proxy is very slow.
Result:
Thanks for UK proxy :laugh:
Got it! from Colombia with a euro open optimus7.
Tried starting from 2 second of wait between push "update" and disconnecting internet, incrementing by half seconds every step, I got it at the 6th attempt, with 4,5 seconds between click "update" and disconnect internet (I disconnected from internet pulling out the power plug of the ethernet hub connected to my computer)
Good luck to everybody, I go to enjoy my new WP7.8! ..and to update my sign
Edit: I got 3 updates, the first, left the phone still with WP7.5, the second too, the third effectively updated the phone to WP7.8, the right update have this build number:
7.10.8858.136
Plugged it in, surprise surprise update available
Country:Hungary

i was lurking online stores for a new wp8 device but suddenly something told me, y u no check xda?
so after many attempts, force update worked and currenlty being installed on my solid rock e900!
thanks 4 saving me 300€ xda & friends ! :good:
Just installing!
Just installing the update now.
I have a German LG E900, running on a UK Talkmobile (MVNO of Vodafone)! No wonder I had to force update!
I tried loads of things, and on the verge of giving up, when I used the UK Proxy tip, earlier in the thread. (Even though I am already in UK!)
I also noticed by doing that that I didn't even have an APN.... maybe that had something to do with it.
Anyway, the FIRST time I used the UK proxy, it found the update. However the update failed because I didn't switch the internet back on my laptop.
So...
1. Switch Wifi off on your phone, but leave data on (using UK Proxy as earlier in thread)
2, Internet ON your PC/Laptop, then open Zune and check for updates. If no update is found then carry on to step 3
3. Click update again, then after 3 seconds or so, disconnect internet from your PC
4. repeat steps 2-3 until it finds an update.
5. Once it finds an update, make sure you switch the internet back ON your laptop/PC, otherwise you'll have to repeat all over again!
Thanks to everyone for the tips. Good work. I assume my phone will be working ok, I will post an update if any problems.
Cheers
My LG E900 now are Windows Phone 7.8 (OS Version 7.10.8858.136).
Updated by tweaking server with disconnecting router cable 5sec after clicknig Update button .
Enjoy!
i keep getting an error saying it cant search for an update, i tried two different computers, no luck, i tried the force update by switching off wifi, still no luck. Can someone help? thanks
I also try to update my phone.
First I tried with the cable trick. This did not work. I always got the 801812DC error which is refering to not be able to create a backup.
I hard reset the phone as recmmended but no result.
I checked the back up directory bt nothibg was in.
I tried on a fresh PC.
I tried with the tool from windowsphonehacker, the so called seveneighter.
I tried different USB ports
I tried different USB cables.
All are giving me the same 801812dc error.
Is there any other possibility? I also contacted LG but as I bought the phone as a used one I have no official bill. Therefore I can not prove it is not already out of warranty.
Please anny suggestion would be helpfull.
I had the same error when I update to 7.5. At this time I downgraded via a cab file from teh forum and then everything as working normally via Zune.
It's just time temping and patience. Beleive me, but if you have no patience, try to use this tool: LINK at your own risk!

This process does work! just a few extra notes on my experience
I have sim free UK LG E900 with Giff Gaff sim
For a successful upgrade process I had to;
First delete the giff gaff APN info and create a new apn with just the IP address and port info on page 1
I then had to reboot phone with new apn info
The timing of disconnecting the internet from the windows PC is critical , I have a laptop, with a combination of Function Key and F11 I can disable wireless pretty much instantly , if you disconnect to soon you get the update service is not available error , if you disconnect to slowly you get the Phone is upto date no update required problem , it seems to be somewhere between 2- 3 seconds ( I used to old 1000, 2000, 3000 counting method :silly: and it is somewhere between 2000 and 3000)
In total I had to update 3 times (as per previous post ) in order to get 7.8
But now thanks to the above technique I have a LG E900 at Windows 7.8 :good:

First of all this is my very first post on the community, i dont usually post here but since i have been on here since the times of the motorola droid 2 i might as well post this thing that i did to help me sort the problem with the data on the galaxy s5
Things that i used:
TWRP Recovery installed via TWRP Manager from playstore
Galaxy s5 4.4.2 already rooted via kingoroot ( You can use any other method that you prefer)
Shohat ROM V5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719386 (All credits go directly to Shohat for this amazing rom)
Build prop editor (You can get it from playstore)
cm-11-20140919-UNOFFICIAL-klte (This is available for download at androidhost here http://d-h.st/niU , all credits go to Albinoman887 for uploading that file and to cyanogen for making that build)
SSU.APK http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250 (All credits go to aalyatim for making this wonderful app)
Patience
Lets begin
First off all you got to root the phone , i used kingoroot as its one of the fastest and easiest method to root your device , it even gives you on screen steps for doing the rooting process
Next once the device has been successfully rooted we are going to go on ahead and download TWRP Manager from playstore, install it and install the recovery on your phone ( If you already have it or if you have a diferent method to install it theres not a problem)
Next once the recovery has been installed we are going to unlock the phone by using SSU.apk and just installing the app and running it (If you have already unlocked the phone there is no need to install the unlock again)
Next once the phone has been successfully unlocked we are going to be doing the next step, download build prop editor from playstore , give root priviliges to it , go to the edit option ( Small pencil located at the bottom right of the screen ) and scroll down all the way to the bottom, once here type in the following:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
Once you have that in , we are going to save it by going to the top right and clicking the floppy disk and waiting for it to save build prop
Next step will be turning off device and entering recovery mode ( You can google how to access recovery mode ) , once inside recovery we are going to be doing the following , since im using TWRP i went to WIPE, then FACTORY RESET , after that i went to ADVANCED WIPE , and checked dalvik cache , system, data, cache i got an error on trying to write something but thats normal
Next step was installing the cm-11-20140919-UNOFFICIAL-klte that you previously downloaded on the steps below , install gapps if you want but it wont be necessary , once thats install and the phone boots you will be able to see the H+, 3g or the connection that you have on your area based on your gsm provider
Now in case you want to stop here and stay with cyanogen you can do it , but if you want to have the stock fresh look of S5 TouchWiz then we are going to do next steps
Once thats done we are going to be accessing recovery once more , once inside we are going to be doing the exact same process that we did before i went to WIPE, then FACTORY RESET , after that i went to ADVANCED WIPE , and checked dalvik cache , system, data, cache i got an error on trying to write something but thats normal
Next we will be installing the rom Shohat ROM V5 once it begins, it takes a while for it to finish , do not restart your device until its done even if it appears its not doing anything , once install reboot the device , you will wait a moment for it to load, once loaded you will be getting the samsung galaxy welcome screen , complete all of the steps to finish the setup and youre done , if you dont see the H+ sign or the signal , just check that your apn are there and were done
I Have tried with AT&T and with a foreign carrier in mexico and it worked great
I have attached pictures with proof , i took it with my camera so it doesn look edited or anything , i hope this helps you out as it helped me

As far as I know, this doesn't work on the G900P for domestic use. It probably worked for the OP because he's in Mexico (or I've just molested my G900P so much it's not picking up any GSM networks).

Your Solution Worked!!!
Thank you so much.
I can confirm that this WORKS!!!
I was heart broken after I unlocked the phone and could not get data on Digicel Dominica (in the Caribbean) even with the correct APN settings. I googled for some time until I found your post. After reading the comments on this post, I did not have much hope but as they say "nothing beats a try" and so I followed your instructions and VOILA...

I got on it. Restored the efs data partitions And performed the note 3 domestic unlock steps and dest's (sorry buddy, I only remember your original username!) international unlock app. I then modified the build.prop as much as I could to the Verizon build (G900V). I can see T Mobile and AT&T networks when searching with a valid T Mobile SIM in, but cant connect obviously. The invalid SIM notification would have to be legitimately removed before one could even consider registering onto the network. I...just want to take a peek at nv item 10124

Yeah I remember seeing 10124 mentioned. It'll be interesting to see what form DSU takes. It's obviously still an OTA process instead of a code but I'm curious as to how different it is from the current international method

Its just another IPC command called over RIL I bet. If you followed the ORIGINAL author of the international unlock's post he drops the hint on what IPC command was called. I was able to decompile his app, change the IPC command and relock the phone, confirming that the phone is indeed locked using this method instead of directly accessing the nv items over the QC diag port. We are able to log the international unlock process if you know how to set the debugging levels high enough. With a domestic unlock on the horizon via OTA, it shouldn't be long before the domestic unlock back is public.

Next once the device has been successfully rooted we are going to go on ahead and download TWRP Manager from playstore, install it and install the recovery on your phone ( If you already have it or if you have a diferent method to install it theres not a problem)
Next once the recovery has been installed we are going to unlock the phone by using SSU.apk and just installing the app and running it (If you have already unlocked the phone there is no need to install the unlock again)
Next once the phone has been successfully unlocked we are going to be doing the next step, download build prop editor from playstore , give root priviliges to it , go to the edit option ( Small pencil located at the bottom right of the screen ) and scroll down all the way to the bottom, once here type in the following:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
Once you have that in , we are going to save it by going to the top right and clicking the floppy disk and waiting for it to save build prop
Next step will be turning off device and entering recovery mode ( You can google how to access recovery mode ) , once inside recovery we are going to be doing the following , since im using TWRP i went to WIPE, then FACTORY RESET , after that i went to ADVANCED WIPE , and checked dalvik cache , system, data, cache i got an error on trying to write something but thats normal
Next step was installing the cm-11-20140919-UNOFFICIAL-klte that you previously downloaded on the steps below , install gapps if you want but it wont be necessary , once thats install and the phone boots you will be able to see the H+, 3g or the connection that you have on your area based on your gsm provider
Now in case you want to stop here and stay with cyanogen you can do it , but if you want to have the stock fresh look of S5 TouchWiz then we are going to do next steps
Once thats done we are going to be accessing recovery once more , once inside we are going to be doing the exact same process that we did before i went to WIPE, then FACTORY RESET , after that i went to ADVANCED WIPE , and checked dalvik cache , system, data, cache i got an error on trying to write something but thats normal
Next we will be installing the rom Shohat ROM V5 once it begins, it takes a while for it to finish , do not restart your device until its done even if it appears its not doing anything , once install reboot the device , you will wait a moment for it to load, once loaded you will be getting the samsung galaxy welcome screen , complete all of the steps to finish the setup and youre done , if you dont see the H+ sign or the signal , just check that your apn are there and were done
I Have tried with AT&T and with a foreign carrier in mexico and it worked great
I have attached pictures with proof , i took it with my camera so it doesn look edited or anything , i hope this helps you out as it helped me

I dropped to NE (4.4.2) to get it to work. It has everything I want expect wifi calling. I have the same question if there a 4.4.4 touchwiz rom (or 4.4.2 with wifi calling) that works with this.
Thanks OP!
is fingerprint working in shohat rom? mine is not working, NFC either...
Thanks!
shohat rom working on 4.4.4 ( NK4 ) ? i only got black screen ...
I can confirm that this really works.
Thanks bro for this wonderful job.

This really works, thanks. I can confirm that the method work in 4.4.4 using cm11 but shohatrom don't work so if you want touchwiz you should use xtrestolite rom (that one works)
MANY DOUBTS
Personally, I'm testing several ROMs on my XT1580 and each one has a different behavior. I would like your help to understand what happens to each of them. Come on:
>>> KINZIE_RETLA_DS_6.0_MPK24.78-8_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC
This ROM installs perfectly and as soon as it connects for the first time, it already receives an update and then another. Everything works.
>>> KINZIE_RETLA_DS_6.0_MPKS24.78-13.3-6_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC
This one also installs normally, more updated than the previous one ... receives an update soon of face, however this update does not install, it gives error in the "Android robot" (other people also had this problem). Everything works.
>>> KINZIE_RETLA_DS_6.0_MPK24.78-13.3_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC
This one I'm testing now. Installed perfectly, came in a different version of the 2 above, however has not received any updates yet. Everything works.
>>> KINZIE_RETEU_6.0.1_MPKS24.107-54-6_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC
This is version 6.0.1. Installs perfectly, however the SIM chip is not recognized. You need to play with TWRP and overlay a system file (build.prop). There she rolls. Never received update, and I used it for a week.
I've tried a few others in Mexico too ... but there's always something, or it does not update, it does not have WiFi, or it does not have a mobile network.
I wanted to understand the differences between MPK and MPKS. And that means the number after the cid in the nomenclature.
Cell Phone has just unlocked bootloader. I am from Brasil, my smart is a XT1580.
