I have two magicians, and I read many posts about nonchangeable version 2.03TX.
I test it, and upgrade one unit. After upgrade really is not possible change any (OS or bootloader). Bootloader cant vrite itself or OS memory. I try all known techniques - SDboot, TTY (lnb, s2d d2s...) via USB, and standart os upgrade via PC (of cours, noID too).
So I have two magicians, then i use good tool from "itsme" called pmemdump.exe (thank you for your good job) and download OS images and bootloader images from my magicians. The reason is:
I dont say when, and/or why, but in some magiciansThe 2.03TX destroy bootloader!!
In my flashed magician is destroyed (nulled) area from 0x10000 to 0x10080.
I attach good (before upgrade) and destroyed (after upgrade) bootloader for comparsion
Maybee if "itsme" (or anybody other? ) create new version of pnewbootloader.exe compatible with version 2.03TX (because under this version OS it not working) then tens of magicians with flashed 2.03TX will be upgradeable again . (I can send any dump if it will be need, or try apply new version on my magicians).
hi mate, i 've had installed 2.03tx and 1.13 radio on my qtek s100 for about one year...
i've had no problem in downgrading radio to 1.12 and flashing device with cotulla rom,
the only problem is that cotulla rom does not support samsung touchscreen
my bootloader is 1.02
the only trick to update i've used is to keep activesync loaded with "allow usb connection" unchecked in settings. then it worked like a charm...
I try it too with unchecked "allow USB connection" in AS (and i have XP). By me (and many others) the problem is owerwrited bootloader. You can see attached files and compare it, you will be see...
You are right, many problems with flashing is between chair and keyboard But not now.
You have the same version of bootloader like me, then probably in version of bootloader its not. I have originally T-mobile MDA compact.
Can you send me dump of your bootloader for compare?
Sorry for my bad english, i am from Czech.
yes mate no problem, link me to a guide for bootloader dumping, i've nevere done it...
ps: good luck for yours magician
Hi Shelver,
I have 2.03TX in only one magician. The second unit is powered by Cotulla WWE_03 now
Download and unzip this: http://www.nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20090515.zip
Connect and synchronize via AS your magician, stay connected (this util working via Active Sync) and in comand line (IN win XP of course, in vista its not guaranted) go to your unzipped directory and write this (without commas):
"pmemdump 0x80000000 0x00040000 boot.bin"
and wait few seconds to done.
It read flash from address 0x80000000 to 0x80040000 (lenght 0x40000) and store dump to file "boot.bin" Its bootloader area. Then you can send me it, compare with my posted bootloaders...

You are lucky man I try it only one time, and bootloader is broken.
I have magicians only as toys, then, if it will be problem for me, then i repair bootloader via JTAG I only try 2.03TX, and try search some help for unlucky mans, who havent JTAG Now i have one broken, and one OK. But with Samsung LCD R3 . Maybee, i change display, or upgrade it to 128MB RAM for try _R1
I am HW developer, so HW problems is easy for me I create car multimedia PC on OMAP3530 platform now for my friends. Its better toy for me, magician is lovely history Only SW is hard to write to me

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem and I need urgent help please. I have ATT 750 unlocked and I'm outside the States now. My Treo was 6.0 then I upgrade it to 6.1 so far so good.
Then I saw a custom rom that I thought it was interesting. the custom rom was for HTC Dimond I think. without paying too much attention. I started the upgrade. It went 70% before the upgrade crashed.
Now my Treo is not responding to anything. I have the original ATT 6.0 SD upgrade and I have the 6.1 lite upgrade. I'm using CheetahUnlocker to flash the SPL (that is working) but when I try to install the 6.0 or 6.1 using Kaiser Custom RUU v1 it crash.
I saw the post above that suggest to place the original 6.0 on a freshly formated SD and install from there. that is not working either. when I try to install the software it goes into these steps before it crashes: btw, I have the tri-color bar and it has the following info:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
SPL-1.40.01iNex
while update in progress i see the following:
CHEEIMG.nbh
SPLASH1 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - Fail
OS -
After the crash I get this msg: "Update Terminate Update Failed"
Any suggestion please? need more info? then let me know
You may have corrupted your DOC, you may need to use mtty to reformat it. Do some searching on how to do it.
Or try to use T750URT.exe to restore it, it comes with the Treo desktop updater.

Are you sure you are on the right device page, Each device has it's own compatible upgrade utility, so if you dont have a wizard it will not work.
Another version of Utility worked....
but after flashing it do some installation and then restart...and after restart it strt again showing the Windows Mobile 5.9

hey guys,
i've got the samsung omnia w gti8350 and i installed the latest update including kk2, but now i havn't the phone either unlocked nor i have a backup.
i downloaded the full mango build 7720 rtm and the wp7 update cab sender. when i wanted to "update" actually downgrade, the anser was no cab was required. the phone doesn't let me downgrade to mango!
is there a possible answer how i can downgrade it or how i can uninstall kk2 without having a backup?
thanks for your attention
daniel
I'd ask what you did with your backup, but it's probably too late for that now.
You need a ROM flashing tool, not a CAB sender (which is used for updates, not full ROMs). I know that ROM flashing utilities exist for the first-gen Samsung phones, and would assume that either they can be used with second-gen or you can find one that works. The tool used for HTC (like I have) is called ROM Update Utility, commonly abbreviated RUU.
You may want to look in device-specific parts of the forum. Also, just for the record, do you mind posting your firmware version info (from Settings -> About -> More Info)? People are constantly asking how to check for the KK2 version, and it would be good to have a number I could point to and say "if it's at least this high, you need to downgrade."
Here we go,this is what i got after the update:
Firmware revision number 7.10.8107.79
Hardware revision number 23.15.0.8
Radio software version 2424.11.12.1
Radio hardware version 0.0.0.800
Bootloader version 6.1.2.0
Hope it helps,since update i was unable to unlock using windowbreak.

@GoodDayToDie: would it be possible to use the ROM Update Utility to flash my omnia w?
Daniel
I don't know; ROM flashing isn't my thing (I'm still on a stock ROM). I strongly suggest you go look at the Omnia [7] forum, if you can't find an Omnia W forum, and ask how to re-flash the ROM. Alternatively, you could try searching (using Google/Bing, since the forum's search tool is down). You could also look at the XDA-Devs wiki; a lot of this sort of info is stored there.
Here you are
OS: Windows Phone 7.5
Date: 2011 November
PDA: I8350XXKK4
CSC: I8350PLSKK4
Download: Click HERE
This ROM is from Poland, unfortunately it's the only ROM I could find for your phone. Anyway this shouldn't give you any kind of problem.
How to flash:
- Extract the archive
- Open the folder Downloader and run WP7_Downloader_Ver_3.8_for_Secure_and_SMD_change_Parttiton_and_Support_Retail_binary.exe as Administrator
- Click on PDA and choose PDA_I8350XXKK4_REV0.nb0
- Click on CSC and choose CSC_I8350PLSKK4.csc
- Click on Phone and choose PHONE_WEMBLEY_16002402_open_KK1_rev00_RC1.bin
- Click on Eboot and choose EBOOT_I8350XXKK4_REV0.eb0
- Put your phone in Download Mode (Turn it off and press Volume Up Key + Camera Key + Power).
- Plug in your phone, wait until the program finds the phone and then click Start
If the program doesn't find the Phone, then you need to install Samsung USB Drivers: Download HERE
hey AshleyT
i tried all you said exactly that order but nothing worked:
picture as attachment
Have i made a mistake?
Uhm... Everything seems correct
Try these USB drivers:
Samsung USB Driver v1.3.2300
Uninstall the old ones before installing these!
Also, I found another revision on that firmware, if you have the same error with the new drivers, try with this other one:

i have samsung omnia w with frmware v7720 and diagonisis ver 1109 in which the window break method does not get applied...so for this reason i want to downgrade my phone...is possible to use windows support tool for downgrading to earlier windows ver i.e. NoDO because i dont have any backup of it so i cant even reterive it with zune
i've now tested the new drivers and the new rom that you posted.
It seems not to work! Same problem as before, no way out! I think samsung provided with kk2 an update that blocks all possibilities to "hack" this phone.
2nd gen devices (like Omnia W) can't be downgraded to NoDo because they didn't even exist before Mango!
Anyway 7720 is the OS version, not the firmware.
You can always try the ROM that I posted above and see if you're able to apply WindowBreak on it

Well, my Samsung Omnia 7 also received KK2 update which blocked the possibility to use WindowBreak, but I was able to flash even a custom ROM, so I don't really think that the problem is realted to the firmware.
Are you sure that you're in bootloader mode?
You can also try the procedure on another computer, but I don't know what else I could suggest you, because I didn't have any problem on my Omnia 7!

Are the bootloader mode and the download mode the same? First you mentioned i've to go to the download mode (vol. up + cam. + power).
If that's true i am in the right mode.
I'm interested in downgrade my Omnia W too. I found this. I hope that it helps, but i think, that it's only for upgrade...
Can i make a custom frimware for 2nd gen devices???
Since you'd need to unlock the bootloader before you could install it, a custom firmware for gen2 phones isn't yet a useful project...
So i tried it with later drivers and Poland Firmware and it seems that it doesn't works.. Still the same firmware.
@WooDoo.CZ: don't you forget to ckeck the checkboxes from PDA, Phone, Eboot & Phone Boot. Unless you check these, i think it won't send any files to your wp7 device...
Sorry boys. So I did it again and now i checked it. And same problem as you had.
edit:
I found this. Anybody should try it. I don't have time right now.

i tried now what you found. For me it didn't seem to work! Error: md5 checksumm not valid for both of the roms mentioned before in this threat.
Hmm, so I tried it too, and i had error: This is a unknown binary.. So what next?
I took the stock roms for Verizon (NoDO v1, Mango v1 only so far) and simply recooked them to work when HSPL is installed. This was to provide an easier way to flash back to stock and rom ##DIAG and *228 for the time being while mwang works out the kinks in DFT Freedom for Verizon Trophy. This will also help since you won't need to flash OSPL to flash a stock rom!
THESE ROMS WILL NOT RETURN YOUR SPARK_W TO TRUE STOCK, YOU MUST USE STOCK ROMS IN FOOTBALLS THREAD FOR THAT!
Also refer to my HSPL thread for all details on returning your phone to true stock!
Read this for information on why YOU should avoid flashing official Verizon 8107 rom!
I stripped out the following from these roms:
SPL (if it were to flash with HSPL installed, you wouldn't like it one bit!)
RADIO (its easier to simply flash the radio you want from my radio thread).
Spanish language support (you only need the phone for programming and diag anyway, does this really matter?).
I will not modify these roms unless someone REALLLY wants Spanish support put back in. I will not add non-stock languages into the roms.
There are NO modifications to these roms other then what has been stated above. Only use these for diagnostic reasons!
Code:
NoDo v1 rom -
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?a59z6n7evkpt6o9"][HSPL version - TheXev]RUU_Spark_W_VERIZON_WWE_1.03.605.22_RS0512_2K_4K_hybrid_new_partition_RELEASE.rar[/URL]
Mango v1 rom ([B]YOU MUST DOWNLOAD BOTH FILES TO EXTRACT SUCCESSFULLY![/B]) -
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mdw8qpzlx91pe24"][HSPL version - TheXev]RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.04_2K_new_partition_RELEASE.part1.rar[/URL]
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mub65nddefvik7n"][HSPL version - TheXev]RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.04_2K_new_partition_RELEASE.part2.rar[/URL]
The split Mango rom requires no special software to combine, simply use WinRAR to extract, and the parts will be joined automagically.
Thanks again TheXev!
I will also be adding the Mango v3 rom very soon(I don't see the point to the Mango v2 rom since there is hardly any changes between that at Mango v1). This rom uses the 8107 sys, and has updated drivers that may address SMS texting issues in CDMA mode with Unicode characters(there are some strange new registry settings relating to SMS that have appeared that I will document about here).
The biggest reason I will add this rom is because if you flash OSPL using DFT's tool (for stock rom return), and then flash official Mango v3, EVERY SINGLE TIME in my testing it half bricked my bootloader, even after flashing different roms with non 2.04 SPL's!? Only time it wouldn't half brick my bootloader was after using GoldCard method to fix my phone. I'll need to point this out to Cotulla...
In short, if you don't want to halfbrick your bootloader for now, DO NOT install official Verizon update to 8107 via Zune without HSPL [meaning, if you had HSPL installed and then reinstalled OSPL (I need to test this if the update is even out on Zune), and DO NOT FLASH OFFICIAL 8107 rom named RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.04.605.02_Radio_NV_0215_NV58008_RELEASE. This rom is in football's rom thread and it is the official 8107 rom that I recently extracted a radio from in my radio thread.
Also because of this new official rom, you might expect me to write my own guide to GoldCard (the entire method, reasons for doing it, and all nhb model names, and "WHAT IS A GOLDCARD?!" lol). This guide might not end up on XDA, as I might write it on my own blog because of the sheer size and formatting I'd want to do.
If you don't want to wait to try the 8107 official rom, then simply update either of the roms I previously posted on Zune. If you have HSPL installed, it will prevent a new SPL from being flashed.
I don't know about the SMS fix yet, but it would appear that Spark_W/Verizon support for CMAS support was added. I didn't know anything about it, but its a neat read.
