I have a Samsung i600 (the Vodaphone version, with wifi). I want to upgrade from Windows Mobile 5 up to 6.1
(or 6.5, though I'm not sure if there are any significant improvements?)
I read one of the threads here about this upgrade, and it said I must first go to 6.0. I downloaded the generic updater linked at the samsung website ... however, it reports 'incorrect version', bummer!
Anyone had success upgrading such a phone? Or tips for me?

I recently bought the Samsung i600 smartphone with WM5 built-in. Its unlocked and has no restrictions whatsoever. I've heard that WM6 has been released for the i600 in several countries. Can anyone here PLEASE provide me with the WM6 rom, aswell as a detailed instruction as to how to upgrade my WM6 i600 to WM6?
PS - i have visited the online upgrade link for WM6 on the samsung website, when i clicked on UK, it asks me for my i600 Version number. I entered my Version number but a system sign pops up saying "Please enter your i600 Version Number". Although i had entered it, it keeps on saying it again and again. my version number is in the following form --> "i600JVCG2"
Please help guys...i know everyone simply rocks when it comes to trouble shooting and stuff...would be looking forward to your help people!
Thanks.
I have the same problem when accessing that stupid website
My version is i600DXGE1. It displays a popup "Please enter ....." after I enter anything to the field. I also try with IE and Firefox but no success till now
to answer you guys there is a solution on a MODACO forum (google it up) find the largest topic that deals upgrading and go to page 15 and find a post written by 'xippon'. You'll find your answer there, and then you might be able to help me because every time i try to upgrade a firmware it says 'select an image to download'... What should I do, given the fact that i'm using XP, and following the directions to the letter.
Well, I've got to here trying to find a solution to what is not working from what is written there.
If I try to directly install the WM6 Upgrader, I get "Incorrect Software Version"
If I try to first install i600XXGD1 as they instruct, I get "Select an image to install" and there is nothing to select from.
I am lost.
Anyone here managed to solve this?
the way out

try "i600XXCG2" instead of JV. maybe u can even try "XV".I donno whether they both need to be XX coz mine was DXCG2 already and i tried "i600XXCG2" and it worked. I think the CG2 is the sw version they need to confirm.Also, the download is only upto 31st oct, 2008, so make it fast!!Happy WM6ing!!
ps:yeah, and try in Internet Explorer.Other browsers' default settings might act up sometimes.
Okay I want windows mobile 6. Whatever reliable working version I can get. I need to apparently unlock the CID and Sim unlock the phone? Carrier is T-mobile. I'm not new to registries, etc. I created my own Iphone theme even so I'm not new to hacking a phones appearance, but everything else like flashing, etc. I'm good at figuring things out though.
But I reviewed multiple threads and just don't get it, which one do I use?
So if anyone can help me out, please do. I have all the roms for the new 6.5 and all that but the only thing is NONE are english or say what version itll change to, etc. Any help is appreciated.

Also, your IP/SP are VERY old. You may experience problems with using newer ROMS (such as the latest 6.5 builds). Not saying it's doomed to failure, just saying don't expect miracles.
Hi all,recently brought 2nd hand O2 exec windows 6.1 installed.
opening screen has these numbers
D.07.60 R
0.082.104
0.80.00
unit works ok but the phone won't connect at all 2g or 3g sim card
after doing lots of reading i gather the radio rom needs upgrading or do i upgrade the whole software.
I downloaded JASJAR_ME_13082_171_10900_wwe_ship but haven't run the upgrade as i don't want to kill the unit without finding out if it is safe to run or is it the latest update tool.
Also if i do the upgrade do i lose windows 6.1 installed.
Appreciate some help here.
p.s I'm running vista on pc
Welcome to forums
You have one of the best HTC devices ever made!
Have a look here to get all the info about it:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
You can flash another ROM and perhaps you can solve your issues
Good luck,

I think that the answer is pretty obvious..........first of all " you bought a loox 560. Pretty cool in 2006 but............
Secondly , I don't think a WM 6 upgrade was ever released for that phone. Any WM 6.0 upgrades you find here will not work because upgrades are very device specific.
Lastly, that phone is not supported on this site, so any help will be minimal and generic or not forthcoming at all.
Hello,
After following the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415 ([CAB] Official WP7 Updates List: 7.10.8107 + ALL LANGUAGES complete + OEM updates) to the letter I repeatedly receive the same error on two different PC's. UpdateWP: (Device ID Left Out) Update Error C00D070A There's a communication error with your phone.
If I run UpdateWP.exe /list I can see my device.
I read through the entire thread, all 75 pages and could not find an answer to my problem. I also scoured the rest of the site for two days to no avail. @jellenl post: Problem with 'WP7 Update Cab Sender' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291536 was the closest reported issue similar to mine. I have replied to that post and am waiting for additional information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the newer software is needed to address the Exchange 2003 bug on our phones.

Problem Solved!
After manually backing up my data (there are automated tools you can use) I factory reset my phone and attempted an update to 7740 using the following tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179 with a custom CabData.xml that I created for my phone (VZW Trophy). I updated my OS (7720) and Languages (English - United States (0409) and Spanish (0C0A), the two languages installed by the default) to 7740 successfully, and then updated OS and Languages to 8107 succesfully. After the update process I reseated my battery and factory reset the phone once again, and as expected the latest OS 7.10.8107.79 (8107) is still present on my phone.
It's important to note that I have a factory ROM and my phone already had it's firmware updated automatically (via Zune) to the levels noted in my original post. I believe the WP7 Update Cab Sender would have worked as well but preferred the slick interface wCabSender provided, thanks guys!
No thanks Verizon and HTC, a BIG Thanks to all at xda-developers!
How does your phone work using this method? I attempted to cook a rom with 8107, but Phone app would't load anymore. XD
Also, using this method, can you dial ##PST# without the phone freezing? The current DFT Freedom V1 from Verizon Wireless Trophy can't use ##PST# with their cooked 8107.
I have yet to try to manually update to 7740+ and beyond. I wish VZW would get off their butts and support our phone, but I'd wager that we've seen the last updates. Verizon isn't even interested in putting more WP7's on the network last I knew.
Also, how did you edit CabData.xml?
@TheXev, Thanks for your post
As I mentioned earlier I have a factory ROM (at no time did I ever attempt to alter the phone), We purchased the phone a month ago to test in our enterprise (as a BlackBerry alternative - we had already tested iPhone and Android and were not happy with the results) and it wasn't until we rolled out a second device (beta group) that we discovered the Exchange 2003 bug (email responses had original data removed) and determined via the Windows Phone Website that OS 7740 had corrected that bug. I still am not clear on why my phone would not upgrade without a factory reset, but it was a small price to pay for the bug fixes and enhancements brought through to OS 8107.
I wasn't aware that I could dial ##778 for field diagnostics (thank you for that information) my phone dials the number correctly and without freezing.
If you decide to upgrade I would encourage you to use the wCabSender, it can be found at this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179 I have uploaded my updated CabData.xml at the end of the thread.
On a side note I already had the Windows Phone Engineering Flash Tool installed on my machine when I attempted my upgrades using WP7 Update Cab Sender, this tool is not installed with wCabSender and I'm not certain if it's necessary, if you run into trouble using wCabSender (it not launching) you can download WPEFT from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415 also keep in mind that wCabSender has prequisites (I believe) .NET Framework 4.x, etc.
As I mentioned earlier I have uploaded the edited CabData.xml via another forum, my updated version includes the latest Firmware: 2305.13.20110.605
and Radio software version: 1.53.00.12.01_23.17w.05.13U and all OS updates and Language packs (Eng. and Esp.) needed for a Verizon Trophy. The wCabSender's slick interface allows you to download the updates into the /Downloaded directory. The CabData.xml can be found in the /Models directory and can be updated by a text editor, I used notepad.
It is unfortunate regarding Verizon and their apparent lack of enthusiasm for WP7, we have hundreds of devices (mostly BB Not WP7) and even their T2 Enterprise Technical Support was unable to confirm if they had received notification for the update. HTC reported the same information and redirected me back to Verizon. Hopefully in the future MS can push the updates directly to the phones, until then I will continue to use invaluable resources like xda-developers to overcome these issues. Thanks Again!
I believe MS has a hit on their hands with the Windows Phone, which I believe will become more apparent with the release of Windows 8.
I concur on all points. Last night I was able to upgrade the stock 7720 rom to 8107 and have a working phone (I missed the language pack between 7740 and 8107). I used cooking methods and HSPL, so I didn't have to modify any files after tinkering.
In an enterprise environment, it isn't a good idea to void the warranty of the equipment with HSPL (or open up another can of wax my using an a unlocked phone).
I'm glad to see the phone fully works with 8107, but I have to wonder why Verizon didn't at least push the 7740 update for the reasons you stated.
I'll have to continue to work with DFT to see if we can figure out why their testing rom doesn't run ##PST#. My current 8107 build works fine with ##PST# now, but I haven't been able to fully unlock it (here is to tonight's digging).
