You need an original image. Search the forum.

Pretty sure theres a guy on here thats kindly uploaded a load of RT images to an FTP server.
Think he has the en-UK en-US and de-DE images...
Can't remember his name tho but I bet it'll be easy to find....

EDIT: Try this, which Myriachan just wrote and released. You can run it from your RT (even in 8.1), so you don't need a different Windows computer to do it.
You can get your Product Key by following the instructions here (Method 1; Method 2 won't work for you, since the jailbreak doesn't work in 8.1). Then, install 8.1 RTM with the key that comes with it and, after it's all installed, go to System and activate with the key that you obtained from the instructions.

Thanks guys! The last dubt: with these metrhods will I recover my original Key or Win8.1 Preview Key? Because if I upgrade to 8.1 I am worried to don t have the right key for activation

Key is built into the unit apparently..

Error code 80180048 when updating to mango

I have an un-branded Samsung Omnia 7 (Deutsche Telekom I believe). I did the force update for mango and was able to update to 7403 just fine. However, at the last step 2 of 2 of updating to 7720 it gave me the error code 80180048. I do not have a walshed phone because I tried using the walshed fix and the program said my phone wasn't walshed. Any one having this issue or have fix for this? Thanks.
All Languages
I was having a problem with failled Mango update and I discovered I used the Walsh tool wrong. I only selected the language that was "checked" in my keyboard settings and not ALL languages that were available on my phone. Once I selected all languages, the update went flawlessly.
---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------
Did you also install the Windows Phone Support Tool? It may be needed for the Walsh Tool.
I have samsung focus (from Rogers Canada) and am facing exactly the same problem, I have reset my phone a couple of times but still receiving the same error, am not sure what to do now, can someone suggest following steps? I don't have walshed phone and walsh tool gave me missing clsid exception.

Samsung Focus has two hardware revisions.
You will not be able to get passed the last steps to update to Mango if you have rev. 1.4
rev 1.3(Micron): Windows 7.5 update will be available through Zune on 9/27.
rev 1.4(LSI) : Update has not entered the AT&T SPE lab yet; however, Samsung is targeting for 10/17 lab entry and 10/31 TA"
you can check which revision you have by pulling out the battery. there should be a revision number on on a white sticker on the device.
I have checked the focus revision number on my phone and it is 1.3, I found that one may use windows phone support tool to solve the issue, but it always gave me the 'the device not in connect to pc mode' error while I am pretty sure the device is infact that mode, so somehow it doesn't see that. I am still confused what to do now?

sounds like a USB driver issue.
open Device Manager
open Zune
plug in the phone into the USB
In the device manager you should see Windows Phone USB Device at the very bottom come in.
Double click and double click Windows Phone USB. Got to Driver tab and make sure it reads Deiver Version 4.8.2345.0
if you have something older, uninstall the driver, unplug the phone, then plug it back in and hopefully it will pick up the new one.
I have exactly the same problem as Starsyde.
Forced update managed to get me through to 7403 and then on step 2 of 2 I get error 80180048. Tried at least 6 or 7 times and always get the same result.
My phone is also an Omnia 7 (bought it unlocked but has the Orange UK logo and apps preloaded).
It's not Walshed (I didn't even have an idea what that even meant until a couple hours ago but still tried that tool, just in case - it says "Good news, your phone isn't Walshed!") and the Windows Phone Support Tool says the phone's not in a "Connect to PC state", even though it is.
To sum up: nothing works.
Oh, almost forgot: I then saw the post about the USB drivers, it's version is 4.8.2148.0 but it says it's the last version so it won't update, and when I unsinstalled it, it automatically installed the same version.

odd, the latest drivers are 4.8.2345.0 and these were installed a week before Mango was released to prepare the phones for Mango. Not sure why it would give you an older USB driver....
I updated the USB driver but the problem stays the same, not sure what else could be done

I'm been have the same problem with a samsung focus v1.3, i've tried everthing i could find, but nothing worked. I hope someone has an answer to what causing this.
I've reflashed the phone with both the rogers and at&t roms(many times) but can only get to 7403.
Also i have tried 4 different computers, one was ever XP.
i am getting the same update error with my Branded HTC HD7

Not to be insulting, but did you try the Walsh Tool and select ALL languages that are on your phone. Most people who have gotten to the end of the MANGO update and failed with this error code fixed this with the Walsh Tool. Please don't dismiss it out of hand, it has solved this error code issue with a lot of people.

[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.

how to jailbreak or unlock for installing third party apps in it
i have tried windowbreak but after dialing ##634#
diagnosis ver. 1109
and after dialing *#9908#
it shows
GUMI Test Band
Suwon2G Test Band
Suwon3G Test Band
and i also tried chevronwp7 tool with installing certificate to my phone but it always shows
"Sorry I'm having trouble communication with the phone"
-Please Make sure its connected using USB
-Please Start Zune Application
but i always get this error
so will you help me to jailbreak my phone
and please tell me step by step method
I have had the connection error twice and restarting my phone fixed it. I am dev unlocked but not interop.
Cheers! -M Xda member since 2007.
ChevronWP7 Unlocker hasn't worked in nearly a year (since NoDo came out). If your OS version is 7389 or higher, you can't use it. This was pretty clearly documented, not just here on XDA-Devs but on a number of tech sites and phone hacking blogs and so forth.
I'll look into your Windowbreak problem. Typically, it means you have the KK2 or later firmware version from Samsung. Flashing an older version to the phone may let you use Windowbreak. Annoyingly, Samsung doesn't seem to use easily-distinguishable version numbers for their significant firmware updates, or at least not ones that I find easily memorable...

Cross your fingers and wait for jailbreaks. We are all waiting from last 3 months
Guys new diagnosis update for omnia w has been arrived. I update my diagnosis ver . but now it is not showing GPRS menu . What to do ?? ( Ver.0210)
hey how did u get the updated diagonosis ver???

yap We are waiting from last 3 months
Since there is no news about interop/jailbreak omnia w

[SOLVED] Omnia 7 Update fail

Well... I have a strange issue... but on the other hand I feel I´m not alone. However it´s kind of messy trying to get a full picture from XDA how to get around my problem.
I have a 3-branded Omnia 7 with the following info:
OS 7.10.7720.68
Firmware 2424.11.9.1
Hardware 3.15.0.4
Radio Software 24.24.11.9.1
Radio Hardware 0.0.0.800
Bootloader 5.9.0.6
Chip SOC 0.36.2.0
My issue... well Zune keeps telling me Update 7740.16 is available (iI guess the Tango will come after that update, right?). I let Zune update but it comes back as a failure "error 80180048". Ok, so I tried to update using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
I got all files downloaded (lang files for each update... ) and it started ok... but after installation it came back with the same error as via Zune.
I tried to make a hard reset to eliminate the possibility that the unlock (rootacces) had anything to do with it... same problem.
As I understand I should go back to the Samsung Omnia 7 version as it came in the box, right? After that letting Zune handle the complete update from scratch? Well... how do I do that? I have found som threads but I´m not really sure witch one to use...
Can someone please give me some directions to get this to work? What files do I need and how do I restore the phone to it´s original state? (in the box-state).
I bought the phone secondhand since I use 3 (Three) in Sweden. I have had NO problem with it at all... But I get soooo anoyed with Zune telling me to update... so I thought "What the heck!?"...
Well... I guess I sorted it myself... followed the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11713948&postcount=1
I have to admit I was really uncomfortable doing this... But after getting the correct files downloaded it was really easy. The phone downgraded to the first version of Windows Phone 7... I screamed out loud when I saw the old green round Windowslogo... but after a couple og updates via Zune Mango was installed... the the updates rolled on and now I´m on the latest release. I feel quite happy since I don´t have to do this when WP 7.8 arrives this fall.

Manually install Windows Phone 8.1 on HTC 8X?

I have an HTC 8X (AT&T) still running Windows Phone 8.0 (8.0.10501.127) as it seems AT&T never pushed out 8.1/8.1.1 for it. How do I manually install 8.1 (or is it 8.1.1 ?) on this 8X?
I faced the same issue today
Bought 8X for collection and was unable to check OTA updates (looks that all servers all down). I recommend to try Windows Device Recovery Tool, it may suggest to install latest firmware.
Also, you can try to install firmware manually but it requires to have y-cable, device unbranding and creating goldcard. This is complicated process overall and may brick your device (since this device is not supported and ROM urls on old threads may be broken, I do not recommend you to do that)
Hi,
OTC will work when you look at this:
OTC Updater can't reach Microsoft Update Servers
I tried to flash a possible Update, but got this error - anybody knows what's going on here? OTC Updater download OtcUpdater 8.2.1.0 Waiting for next device. Please connect a device via USB. Press q to quit. Lumia 650(RM-1152_15637)...
