help flashing an old omnia i900? - General Questions and Answers

gotta problem flashing an older omnia i900. i am running windows 7 now and trying to use Grandprix 1.6.4 for vista, but it wont find the phone. anyone??

I never used GP back when i had one of these phones so can't help you there. What i will say is that there was a good deal of dev support over at the Modaco forums for the Omnia, so you might want to try there.

Try the xpmode in win7 or compatibility mode ...
Omnia i900 is a qbowl, is that right ? Have a look on QBowl drivers...or try HandyFaq page...

I try many times to flah my htc under windows vista !
The process still crashing or not respond !
so i flash under windows XP. It's mor safe !
I think this problem is due to the new software of synchronisation include in windows vista.
But i haven't investigate more.
Vista
its the USB driver in Vista. It can be changed. Search my other posts.

I just tried last night to flash my device using my vista laptop and i just couldnt make it work.
The vista update utility is version 2.0x and i need a vista update utility 2.5.x or higher to update my G4 device
So I prefer flashin my device using my old Win XP. Any luck of a vista update utility version 2.5.x or higher??
I also follow the tutorial in modaco and i can tell you that If you have a G3 device using the vista update utility you wont have any problem.
Best regards.
Whats G4 etc etc ? Sorry, i quite noob in ppc..
btw, if i bricked it again? what must i do?
Did you ever tried to search for it?!

Help with installing Windows Mobile 6.5 on htc touch hd

I am having trouble installing Windows Mobile 6.5 on a HTC Touch HD. I have extrected all the files to a folder and then I have connected my Touch To the computer and have activated activesync. I have then opened up the PDA Phone Rom Update Utility and followed the instructions. The HTC Touch HD gets stuck on 0% and the PDA Phone Rom Update Utility displays an error 262-the update utility has encounterd Communication problems with the device. how can i resolve this problem?
Which Operating system are you using on your PC?
When on XP what ActiveSync version?
Did you hard-SPL the HD?
and, did you make sure your device is actually detected and installed on your PC properly?
Hey, I have encountered the same problem when I was trying to downgrade my HD from WM 6.5 to 6.1. You may try to upgrade your SPL to 1.56, then cook the ROM to your phone again. At least that how I cooked my HD first time.

Hello there.
I'd like to upgrade my HTC Touch HD to WM 6.5 from oficial site htc.com. But this WM 6.5 can be installed only on HTC HD2 from these source, as i undestand
//mhm... i'd like to put link there. "new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages" message appears.
htc.com -> Products -> HTC HD2 -> ROM -> latest release
May be there is, some tricks, to install it to my HTC Touch HD from official source, and also get updates like for HTC HD2
Plz, help, if anyone know
P.S: I have serial number of HTC HD2))))

Hey there,
Please do not try and flash an HD2 rom to your HD, or you will end up bricking your device.
If you want 6.5 on your HD, head over to the blackstone forum, Hardspl and choose the rom of your choice.
Make sure you understand the instructions for hardpsl and flashing (it isnt that difficult really).
If all goes wrong, put your phone into bootloader and flash back the official HD rom.
Voila.
Thank You, Voila

Hey, if you want to flash wm6.5 then just download a stock rom from either Htc or from this site and away you go. lol

[Q] Android for Omnia I900

Hi,
I own a Samsung Omnia I900, OS: Windows Mobile 6.1
I'm sure there is a way to run Android on it and i really tried a lot of things. Nothing worked.
Could you please help me? I read so much about Android on Omnia I900 but I really don't know how to get it.
Send me links, (english) discriptions or write here in the thread any solutions for my problem.
Thanks for helping. Dex.
Check out the Omnia section on the Modaco forums. There was loads of dev work going on there when i had this phone.
Samsung should also do something.. OS shall be upgradable..
I think this will be good market in future..
