Hello,
I have a Samsung Omnia W interop unlocked before getting the latest update from zune.
I am trying to get internet sharing through this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334248
but when I type the *#0998# code in the diagnosis app, no list comes, so I cannot proceed further with the guide.
Here are my phone software versions:
SO: 7.10.8107.79
firmware: 2424.11.12.5
hardware: 23.15.0.8
software radio: 2424.11.12.1
hardware radio: 0.0.0.800
bootloader: 5.12.29.0
processore SOC: 0.74.2.1
Can anyone help me getting ICS on my phone ?
Thanks a lot.
ICS?????
what's that mean
ICS: Internet Connection Sharing. It's OK though, there's absolutley no possible way you could have figured that out from the link in the OP, and nobody has ever used that acronym for the feature before... </sarcasm>
It sounds like you either updated your firmware or your DIAG app since you interop-unlocked the phone. If it was a firmware update, you'll need to roll back or you'll need to wait until somebody writes a tool that allows you to process the provxml file using Root Unlock (I assume you have WP7 Root Tools). If you updated the app itself (via Marketplace), uninstall it and then re-install it using the phone dialer.

Thanks a lot for the uninstalling Diagnosis tip!
I did i and now I can see again the list of things, also windowbreak is there.
So, I will try the guide from scratch this evening at home and let you know.
Thanks a lot for taking time to help me, its really appreciated.

Hello,
I tried but the "System tweaks" does not show up in the list, so I am unable to go ahead...
Any clues ?
You probably installed a Samsung firmware update (see the other item in my list of reasons why it wouldn't work). If your firmware version is KK2 or newer, you won't be able to use those hacks. Roll the phone back if you want to use it.
Alternatively, these are just provxml files. WP7 Root Tools won't currently process them for you directly, but it's pretty easy to write an app that will do so for you if it has WP7 Root Tool "trusted" elevation via policy.
Thanks,
atm I think that I will try to look inside the provxml files which enables ICS and try to manually edit my phone registry to see if it works. It seems to me the most reasonabe way, also because all those provxml are built for Omnia 7 while I own an Omnia W.

Hi,
I'm trying to maintain a jailbroken phone through the Mango update via the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152422
My only trouble, is that I haven't been able to update my Diagnosis app.
It's on 0.922, which will not allow the xml files to be found.
I have tried uninstalling and then hitting "##634#" but each time, it only brings back the same 0.922 app.
I am also unable to find it in the marketplace.
I am currently running OS 7.0.7392 - and Zune tells me there are no further updates (not sure what 7932 is?).
Can anyone help?
Cheers.
I'm having the same problem. I was on 7390 with 0.922 and couldn't update it, so just updated to 7392 and it's still on 0.922 (have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no luck either).
There are a few other solutions I've yet to have tried, but it's not looking likely so far...
Note: In regards of this "If your phone is updated to 7392 with the OEM registry information (ATT-US) deleted, the Diagnosis won't be updated." - I think I had deleted the registry while on 7390 (I'm with 3, not AT&T), but I'm not sure how to re-add it. Re-flashing maybe? Though it'll be a pain adding everything back.
How would you have deleted the registry?
I'm from Australia, so my phone was bough on Optus, but is now unlocked on 3.
I can't remember exactly but it's something to do with the SamsungRegistry tool I used when first unlocking my phone. I vaguely remember reading a STRING value and then overwriting it as a blank value.
I was following a guide very closely but now I can't remember what it was for so I can't find it to undo it.

I remembered it seems like HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator, maybe you can have a try.
it is heard that if the WP7 updated to mango, the Diagnosis will be upgraded too. I don't know whether it is true. Or you can flash another ROM, such as DTMJJ6, I'm using it and it works well.
hello
i have the same problem , cant update the diagnosis. i tried everithing , but nothing works.
i installed the 7720 mango rtm , and there is no update for diagnosis so far )
i think the only way is flashing another rom.
the DTMJJ6 will update the diagnosis ? is this an branded rom ? 7004 ?
Edit : DTMJJ6 is not an public rom.(samfirmware) what about the november rom?
EDIT2 ": the november rom contains the 1027 versin of diagnosis app .. it works.. its unbranded too..
thanks for all

That sounds great! Do you think you'd be able to give a link to where you got the November rom from? And if you can a tutorial on how to flash it. Those two would be very much appreciated as I can't seem to find them (or don't know what to search for)
Edit: Found it, thanks very much! Hopefully I'll now be able to update to Mango without losing my unlock.
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?
Hello folks,
I know there are a lot of threads going around that cater to this topic but I had just one little question. I have an Omnia 7 (8107, updated via zune) which is developer unlocked (no interop).
Is there any way, or will there be any way via which I can put custom accent colors on my phone?
I loved doing that using advanced config but I flashed my rom & all the changes I made were lost.
Also I loved having the 3g/2g toggle button, but ever since I flashed the new rom & updated it is no longer there. Is there anyway by which I can get back the toggle?
Thanks!
Why didn't you interop-unlock again? You can still use Advanced Config or similar apps if you do...
Use WindowBreak or any of the Interop-Unlock apps. If your firmware is incompatible, roll back first using Zune (it should be the last update, so easy to restore).
Hi, Thanks for replying. I don't want to roll back because I am unable to! I have a backup restore but my phone never restores to that point (gives me a weird error, I don't remember the code right now, my phone reboots twice and the restore fails giving me an error code. I did some digging around but didn't find anything useful)
It's the same story with ALL the restores that I have, I cannot roll back to any of those. Does windowbreak work on 8107?
Thanks for replying!
I said firmware, not OS (7.10.8107 is an OS build version). 8107 doesn't matter one way or the other, but some phones get a firmware update (Samsung's KK2 update) that disables hacks like WindowBreak and the other Interop Unlock tools.
Oh okay
my specs are :
PDA : i8700xxkk2
phone : i8700xxki1
csc : i8700xenjk1
So I guess, I have the kk2 which won't let me run windowbreak or any other tools. Am I right?

japmeet, unfortunatly kk2 was just to break the project, nothing more.
I have an Omnia 7 and i can give you two advices about what i did:
A)First, i have downgrade to 7.0.7004.0 and run windowbreak or chevronwp7 and then u can update,i suggest manually to 8107 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
B) I also tried after downgrade to 7.0.7004.0, done a clean reset and tried the custom already unlocked roms:
mi7ROM from mirolg: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499102
xda-devs from ceesheim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533229
Maybe you can try it!
Thanks for replying but doing so will result in a loss of my text messages which I don't want to go through again. I think I'll wait until the devs come up with something that can break the kk2's defences. Thanks!
Hello everyone....
I just brough a samsung omnia w last week.....It is very nice phone
I want to install XAP files in my devices...What i have to do for doing this??
Please kindly someone give step by step procedure....???
Look up WindowBreak and follow the instructions given there. It's pretty straightforward.
Note that if you don't get the WindowBreak option in the GRS menu (you'll know what I mean if this happens) and you followed the steps correctly, your firmware version is too new. If you installed an update efter getting the phone, you should restore the backup of your phone's original state that was automatically created (the restore button is in the Zune PC software under Settings -> Phone -> Update). Then do the WindowBreak steps again.

hello sir...
I do same process for downgrade my firmware...But again there is no windowsbreak option in GPS menu....Now what to do?
What's your current firmware version (*#1234# in Diagnostics)? If your firmware is still too new, you're out of luck until a new unlock hack is found, or a tool for flashing a stock ROM to a gen2 Samsung phone is found, or the Samsung gen2 bootloader is unlocked and custom ROMs become available.

Hello sir....Please check it...
I believe KK7 is known to not work. You could try running the WindowBreak steps again with a cleanly re-installed Diagnostics app (delete it from the app list and re-install from the dialer) but I'm pretty sure your firmware version is still too high. The firmware change prevents the GPRS view from showing files in the \provxml filder.

Hello XDA-Community!
Unfortunately I updated my Samsung Omnia 7 without deploying the "relockPrevent.xap" file (I didn't think the update would relock my Phone). Is there another possibility to unlock my Samsung? I liked Windowbreak a lot since it was so easy, but it won't work anymore. What can I do to get back to my previous OS-Version (Mango?) ? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance! =)
Greetings,

Still nothing new on this? =(

You probably got the dreaded Samsung update.
Can you please post your Phone/PDA (by typing *#1234# in Diagnosis)
Thanks a lot for your answer!
PDA: I8700XXKK2
Phone: I8700XXKI1
CSC: I8700DREKI2
KK2 is the Samsung firmware (called "PDA" here) update version that blocks WindowBreak and similar hacks.
To roll back to your pre-Tango state, when presumably your phone was already interop-unlocked, just connect your phone to Zune on the PC, then (in Zune) go to Settings -> Phone -> Update. You should see a button to restore the backup that was taken when you intalled the update.
Thanks a lot for your helpful answer!
If I do that, will my Apps etc. be deleted?
Your phone is restored to exactly the point it was at when the backup was created, except for your music/videos/photos - those sync with Zune anyway, so they aren't included in the backups. Apps and other contant that you have since purchased are still available, though; just re-download them from the marketplace (you won't be charged again).
