Problem with Wp7 downloader with omnia 7 - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been trying to update my phone to Mango through WP7 downloader and I guess the problem is with the drivers. I updated Zune to the latest version. Installed every single driver available for windows phones, It wouldn't detect the phone. I've unlocked the phone through samfirmware.com but couldn't flash the mango rom. What could be the problem and what is the solution for that? The problem is that when I use ##634# then *#7284# to choose diag, it detects an unknowe device but when i switch to zune mode, only zune can detect it but Wp7 downloader can't.
Pleaase help, I am so lost.

Sorry to ask, but I couldn't find instructions on how to use the WP7 downloader to flash the firmware from samfirmware on my Focus. There's Phone, Phone Boot, EBoot, PDA, etc. I can't gind a guide on samfirmware.com for it. Could you please point me in the right direction since you've already done it? Many thanks

[Q] samsung diagnostic app on NoDo

Hey, I can't the Diagnostic app back for my samsung focus after updating to NoDo (through zune). I dial the number and it times out and cannot complete request. I wonder, since it IS an app and can be updated through zune if it can be extracted and then uploaded in xap form(if this can't be done then don't worry, I DO have registry access which can do 75% of what diagnostic can do) but I was just wondering if it COULD be done or if anyone else experienced this
You may want to reboot your device and try again. If that doesn't work and your device is developer unlocked you can try to sideload the app. It can be found here.

[Q] downgrading wp7

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?

[Q] Problem with ChevronWP7 when unlocking Samsung Focus Flash

I have a Samsung Focus Flash, and I was hoping to install some apps that are not found on the marketplace.
So I have followed the procedure found at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106
But, I get this error:
View attachment 953887
The connection is good, and zune is running. Nothing with HTTPS process is running either. Please help.
That thread is extremely outdated. A trivial search online would show you that the ChevronWP7 Unlocker hasn't worked in about a year (ever ince NoDo came out). There's no pre-NoDo ROM for your phone (since it didn't even exist in 2010), so you can't use it.
Thanks for the reply. I had no idea. So is there an alternative in installing xap files?

Can not update omnia W

Hi,
i have an unlocked omnia W with the 7720 OS. I want to update to 7740 with Zune, but i get an 801812C1. I've readed something on the MS site, but it's for omnia 7. Could someone give me an hand?
All phones update in pretty much exactly the same way. Omnia 7 vs. Omnia W shouldn't matter at all for this.
http://www.bing.com/search?q=windows+phone+801812C1&src=ie9tr
Lots of people posting solutions.
I've readed many tutorials and none of them works. When i connect the phone in "download" mode i don't see any new device on my hardware configuration. When the phone is in standard mode it is recognized immediatly
EDIT: i've even used microsoft fix it and it didn't find the device.
EDIT2: i confirm is not detected by the OS in download mode
EDIT3: solved, it was necessary to reset the phone, update and then use windowbreak
guys on 29.3.2012 i found new software update for my omnia w in zune software. It takes minutes to install like it took before. But after updating there is no change is os version,firmware version etc. its like before only . what was that update for ??
os 7.10.8107.79
firmware 2424.12.01.1

HELP REQUEST ( I need USB BLDR driver M8 AT&T )

HI
i have purchased a used m8 win phone att, the phone seems to have an insider preview of windows phone 10 which isn't a complete OS ( i think it's old preview version maybe an alpha release ) this version has no basic application, no setting no camera app no dialer !
it can receive calls yet you can't dial a number yourself
even if you click on all setting in the notification bar it's tells you that this app in not available search for it in the store and guess what! there is no windows store installed !
i have done a factory reset , it didn't help
i have tried to use Windows Device Recovery Tool to flash a new version or downgrade to stable win 8.1
but i can't get the driver of the device it's stated in the device manager as USB BLDR with no available drivers
tried to flash the RUU from Xda, but it needs the driver as well !
i have spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue with no luck
