hey guys i just purchased the new samsung epix/blackjack3 from ebay. it was unlocked. phone is great. however, i noticed that the included firmware is windows 6.0. v been researching and i see that its suppose to be 6.1. i cant seem to find any firmwares for 6.1 for this phone. im looking for any 6.1 firmware for this phone at all, not looking for any hacked or whatno, just a firmware so i can get this phone to 6.1. it sucks to have such a high tech phone and not be able to use 3g or threaded messages and what not. if anyone can provide me with any information on where to get a stock 6.1 firmware for this phone, please let me know. thank you in advance.
bump anyone know? =/
Hope this helps. Not quite sure if it is exactly what you are looking for. Seems like you got scammed if the phone was advertised as i907, because it sounds like the i780 (it comes with wm6.0). Basically similar deviced with exception to wm version and battery.

Good luck,
I am suprised noone has attempted to cook a WM Rom for this one, it's just like the Omnia II except small and lighter

Samsung JET have a Samsung OS - so there is no way to cook a Windows Mobile ROM for it.
you mean it's impossible to replace Samsung OS with WM? I am sure it's possible. Has anyone looked into it? What are the obstacles preventing that happening. Is it fundamental?

I agree. I don't see a reason.
Saying that this is not a WM device is not valid. You can load other OS in your phone if it supports the hardware and the loader interface. If the hardware is so similar, it's a matter of analysis...
If I had one, at least I'd try to flash a OmniaII rom (phone+boot+pda).
I'll contribute $$ to the cooker that could provide such ROM for the Jet s8000.
Cheers
One more contributor here! 50USD for someone that cooks a Jet WM ROM.
I bought one to my wife. The phone is great and I would definitely have one if a Windows Mobile ROM is avaliable...
btw... it has the exact same processor and general specs as the Omnia II
About processors i'm not sure... But OMNIA II have 256Mb RAM vs 128Mb in JET. Maybe there also different radio modules (GSM/UMTS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) and different video controllers.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english

i'll contribute another 50 USD if there is a winmo rom for this phone
i think there would be alot in interest here, particularly since many xda users would happily flash a WinMo rom if it were available!
I have recommended this model to my brother and he loves it, his previous phone was the N95. Now to get the Jet to WinMo!:
I know a few months back there was a dev working on andromina, android for omnia i900, but since january this year, the project had no developments. seems like it is dead.
i own an omnia i900 but recently upgraded to a htc desire. i have the i900 lying home and running custom 6.5.3 roms, but i would like to have eclair running on my i900 so i can use this fone as well. is there anyone working on a project for the i900 android? i wouldnt mind learning how to port roms to the omnia, but anyone point me to the correct way to start with android for the i900?
I dont think so.
This Phone is too old and to unloved ;-)
Stay with your Desire and be happy =)
Now...I've seen ports for almost every possible HTC device out there that are less powerfull tan omnia i8000...Why arent there any ports for omnia i8000...I tried the HTC HD2 port of Froyo with haret.exe...and i cant get it to work...maybe i'm doing something wrong or it maybe because it is a port for yet another HTC device...
Are there any at all?
It's been like a month..and i wanna ask that again..so bump...HD2 gets everything...
Well, it seems it's only you and me. Me and you hope this device able to run Froyo at least. Any other? I think it's difficult pherahaps because drivers for i.e. Galaxy S hardware aren't good for i8000 hardware. Pherhaps (but I don't know really) HTC deserves less differences between its devices. I can say only I am very very sad.
I already got Galaxy Tab, but it's so painful to see i8000 at the terminus.
Android 2.1 on Omnia 2 progress
Hey guys, don't miss me out...I'm an Omnia i8000 user too...i heard that the development of Android 2.1 on our Omnia are still under going...so probably more patience in order to get a functional Android on our phone. (It won't be long I think as currently they already received news back from Samsung.)
By the way, below is some link which shows the progress of Android development.(No fake videos and links, all are uploaded from the members of Omnia2droid).
Seriously, just check 'em out and you will know that our Omnia 2 are still not dead yet and somebody out there are currently putting their effort in porting Android to Omnia i8000.
But for the Android Froyo, I think the one that they currently developing is Android 2.1 Eclair, but they claimed that they will port to Android Froyo as soon as the Android 2.1 was fully working on our Omnia 2.

Hi
I think no one is trying to port android OS to i900 Omnia?
Anyone deals with it?
I read something a few weeks ago about it. But it seems to be to heavy! But u can get a quiet better Android Phone then the i900 ever can be for 100€.
