Need English ROM for Samsung Omnia SGH-i900/i908 - Off-topic

[SIZE=+1]WARNING! FLASHING USING GRANDPRIX DISASTERS[/SIZE]
Everyone who wants to upgrade their ROM using GrandPrix please take this VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
You may kill your phone!
The i900DXHG4_PDA.bin file provided by chamid is the PDA ROM only. Samsung Omnia ROM has 4 different parts:
1. LOADER (also known as EBOOT)
2. PDA
3. CSC
4. PHONE
The disaster is that if you use the i900DXHG4_PDA.bin file incorrectly loaded into any other part rather than PDA, you will destroy that part. Look at the 3rd image attachement to see how I actually destroyed my Phone part using GrandPrix... It's no accident, the program forced me to click the PHONE button to load that .bin file.
Here are 3 case study for your beleive:
1. Myself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2553644&postcount=15

3. mr_tormoz: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2559075&postcount=49
You may explore the rest of this thread to see how we tried to solve the problem after destroying the Phone part. Good luck with your upgrades and play it safe!
[SIZE=+1]THE ENGLISH ROM SOLUTION:[/SIZE]
2 Methods
I - Using Official Updater (recommended)
Download the Official updater from here: Download Singaporean i900DXHG4
You will get 3 files:
1. Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 (optional)
2. SamsungModem_xp.zip (Samsung Modem Driver)
3. i900DXHG4 updater_xp.exe (Samsung Omnia Firmware Uupgrade)
Follow the instruction from Samsung.
If you encounter the "Incorrect Software Version" message you can find solution here: Incorrect Software Version
If that still doesn't work, try i900DZHG3, you can download from here: Download i900DZHG3
The latest ROM at the moment is DXHH1 (reconstructed, tested OK): Download i900DXHH1
For other ROMs and how to avoid the "Incorrect Software Version", click here
II - Using GrandPrix (not recommended for beginner)
Update 28 Aug 2008: I found a very comprehensive guide how to update to HH1.
If using the Official updater doesn't work, you may choose this alternative method.
1. download GrandPrix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=108238&stc=1&d=1219556479
2. download the PDA ROM binary file here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ne0nalozyy2
3. You will get i900DXHG4_PDA.rar, extract it.
3.1 Copy the Grandprix folder to the root dir of your windows XP ex C:\Grandprix then put your image files PDA.bin etc in the Grandprix folder. This way when you click on PDA it will immediately find the file. (suggested by bobsbbq)
4. Run GrandPrix,
4.1 Set the profile to Grandprix LV image (reminded by bobsbbq)
4.2 click the PDA button and browse for i900DXHG4_PDA.bin. Caution: Do not mount the file to the Phone button, otherwise your PDA is doomed, read above warning.
4.3 if the PDA button doesn't detect i900DXHG4_PDA.bin, then you should use Explorer, right click on the file and click "Open With..." and then browse for the GrandPrix program.
5. Click Detect & restart your PDA. The process will be done in bootloader mode, so no ActiveSync required.
NOTE: I do not take responsibility if you destroy your phone function using this guide. You MUST read the whole thread before deciding to use GrandPrix. Goodluck.
[SIZE=+1]THE ORIGINAL THREAD STARTER[/SIZE]
Hi guys,
I'm struggling for so many days trying to flash my Omnia ROM into English. Here is what happened.
I bought this PDA online in China. It turned out to be from Philippine. It has SGH-i900 model written on the label under the battery.
The PDA version was i900DZHG1/DZHG1
The ROM version was i900DXHG1, as shown on the "original ROM.jpg" image.
Here are the steps I did before asking for help:
1. I searched all over the Internet using Google. Explored all xda-developers.com and other PDA forums.
2. I found the ROM from Samsung Omnia for SGH-i900 here: http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/omnia/index.jsp
3. I tried to flash my Omnia, it says "Incorrect Software Version".
4. I followed the instruction to fix the "Incorrect Software Version" problem here: http://www.modaco.com/content/samsu...ftware-version-when-updating-fix/#entry908015
The numbers worked, I found out the preconfiguration already was Singapore. Tried to reapplied that succesfully, but still "Incorrect Software Version".
5. I found this ROM SGH-i908 from here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/bjfs0b .
The upgrade process worked. But it turned out to be Chinese again. Now it has the following tech details: PDA: i908ZHHG8, as shown on the "i908 ROM.jpg" image
6. I tried to flash the SGH-i900 ROM provided for Singapore again. The same problem.
So HELP! I need your help. It's too time consuming. I already tried my best but it's just not working.
I know people used to cook ROM. Is there any cooked English ROM for this Omnia? If not, does anyone have a software to extract the ROM from the upgrade .exe file and use a custom program to flash the ROM with it?
I should also mention here that I already tried "hard reset" but it's not working at all. It's nearly impossible to hard reset this PDA, and when it finally hard-reset, the "Incorrect Software Version" message still on.

Have you tried using the Omnia updater again after flashing the i908 rom?
There is another thread here which had a HG5 rom. However, no details were given as to which rom it belongs:

Yes, I forgot to mention I did try again after having the i908 installed. No hope

mmm I have a feeling you need to wait for a higher build or someone to cook a custom rom. From what I've read elsewhere you cannot flash to a lower(official)build in Omnia. I could very well be wrong.

I myself am looking for some way to "hack" these files. I wish someone can do it. Samsung is so strange when requiring the device to be connected via MS ActiveSync. The Chinese version one did it on the bootloader mode.

Hi guy, your situation is exactly like mine. But finally i managed to upgrade the rom to offical G4 version.
Some keynote:
First upgrade to English G3 rom , then G4
If you got "Incorrect software version", do this:
* Press the 'dial' key to the left of the optical pad to bring up the dialer
* With the onscreen keypad input *#1546792*#
* Select 'Preconfiguration'
* Enter code *#81230*# and select OK
* Select 'Singapore', with the default Operator
* Accept this, DEVICE WILL HARD RESET
* Run update, and all should be well.
If you can't find the rom donwload link, please feel free to ping me.

BTW, I've tried a lot to cook the rom. Now I can rip the PDA part from the .exe upgrader, and extract all files from it. Then repack them to the nb0, but now have no idea to convert the nb0 to the B000F format.

If You can repack them to the nb0, then, what I can see according to one of our member put the link to rom XCHG5, You can use the GrandPrix to flash the repacked-rom to your device again.
It's my narrow knowledge, please forget if I'm wrong.
And please, put your cooked-rom to us if You can with the procedure how could You do it...
Thanks very much,

GrandPrix flash the bootloader part using the nb0 format, but the pda part bin format. The only thing I need is to convert the pda.nb0 to pda.bin, then flash it.

Using the search on this forum, with the keyword is B000F format, You will see, for example:

and after reading a few... it's out of my dump head, sorry.
Please continue your work, and hopefully, it would be a great contribution to another device beyond the HTC.
Take care,

Not sure if i780 kitchen tools work, but you can search for famusc kitchen tools and in it, there is a pdf instructions on how to convert from part02.raw to nb0.payload back to nb0 and finally to flashable bin.
Again, just a warning, this MAY NOT work on an Omnia.

Mind telling us the procedure to flash the roms?
On another note is there a way I can replace the java with Esmertec instead? if so how?

For:
Spanish
English
German

So... which update is this, and for some reason it doesn't take the serial number that is in my Treo.
I have just bootloaded it and this are the specs that came out:
ROM Update
Generic ROW
Firmware: 1.54.0.00 --> newer than 3AU
CC-Cap: GEN-ENG-005
Carrier DB: 296
WM6 version: 5.2.1239 (Build 17746.0.2.4)
Changes I noticed:
- the operator logo (when turning the radio on and off) disappeared! WOOHOO! Not that I minded the Vodafone logo since I do use a Voda sim, but incase I change sims, atleast now I dont have an operator logo..
- the click sounds have reverted back to being non-existent (which I think is the norm for WM6).. but I missed it from WM5 so I loaded the fix for the sounds..
- Band selection I remember was around 4 options, now there is only 2 - [1]GSM (900+1800)+UMTS 2100; [2]GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

You need to update via the SD method, search the forum for further details about it, there are hundreds of post.
so how do u update the sf version if u use the sd method?
Read up on the bootloader method (it's mentioned here quite a bit). Pretty simple:
- Back up everything important off the device as it'll all get wiped. Make sure your battery is well charged too (don't want it going flat mid-update)
- Extract the updater from the .zip file using Winrar or similar. Then when you get the .exe file, extract this as well - you'll get a whole bunch of files
- Look for a file called CHEEIMG_FW.NBH
- Rename this file to CHEEIMG.NBH and put it in the root directory of your memory card (make sure it's formatted in FAT32)
- Put the phone in bootloader mode (hold down the bottom side (PTT) button and the reset button under the miniSD flap together)
- The phone should then go into bootloader mode, detect the firmware on the card, and prompt you to install it by pressing the power button> Just follow the on-screen instructions, and soft reset when it tells you it's finished!
Thanks for your help Ben, after extracting the rar file and then extracting the exe. file I found the file that you were referring to. I guess last time when i downloaded the Wm6 it already has been extracted by the poster.

New in flashing cooked roms - HELP

I will do it for the first time - Dutty's 1.8 ROM. I don't know the tools etc,...

Well first i dont really know how to save the original ROM but don't worry. The most of the original ROMs are available at the blackstoneWIKI so you can check if your version is listed before flashing.
When it comes to the flashing itself it's really easy. First of all download USPL from this site. Then you download the ROM you want to flash with. If the ROM is named nbhsigned.nbh you will want to change this to BLACIMG.nbh and if it's already named BLACIMG.nbh just leave it like that. Then you copy BLACIMG.nbh to the root of your storage card (the main folder). Then you go to activesync->connection settings->disable USB connections.
Now turn the phone off and remove your storage card. Enter bootloader mode by pressing PowerON and volDOWN simultaneously. When your in bootloader mode wait for the text "serial" at the bottom to change to USB. When it says USB you insert your storage card. After that you run blac_uspl in the USPL folder you downloaded. The phone will now restart and come back in USPL bootloader mode. USPL will update and recognize BLACIMG.nbh in your storage card and it will ask if you want to update. Press yes and your good to go.
You should backup all your important files before flashing and remember this way of flashing isn't 100% secure and I can't assure you that you're phone won't break, but following these steps closely really should narrow down the risks with flashing by alot.
Hope this helped you!
Thank you! This helped me too Can i do it with Windows 7?
Thanks friend, I tried it but I'm having a little difficulties When I use the tool I et an error message about USB - it can't find the phone.
Any ideas?
I did as you wrote and it worked till I used the EXE tool. There nothing happenes. I downloaded the latest version, but I0m using Vista. Acording to post where I downloaded it it should work on Vista.
Thanks for everything
Dave
First dump your rom using the method described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
After that's done flash HardSPL described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
A littlebit of reading wouldn't hurd you I think.
Also in Dutty's thread the procedure is well described how to flash so why open a new thread?

[TUT] How to Reconstruct a Rhodium Dumped ROM & Reconstructed ROMs

I take no responsability in any damage on your device. If you're not sure what you're doing, take time to learn some basics from wiki.
This is the process to restore your Rhodium (TP2) back to the stock ROM and SPL. This should be enough for you to warranty return your device.
I have "borrowed" all of the examples from various sources on xda. Many thanks must goto jcespi2005 and JugglerLKR who created the guide and packages for the Raphael from which the majority of this is taken. The SPL "relock" procedure was taken from the Hard SPL thread. Credit to cmonex .
Prerequisites
The Rhodium Kitchen version 0.1 (Open the Zip File and read the password from the !!!readmefirst!!!.txt)
WinRAR or 7zip
RhodiumSPLRelocker_079SPL.zip
nbImg v1.1
Warning
avast! home detects buildOS as a virus, I've personally used it on my machine with AV off, and am not infected, but it's up to you.
Overview
You must follow these instructions in the order given. Once you have the Stock SPL you cannot flash any ROM's except the ones that are signed by HTC. For that reason you must restore the ROM first, then the SPL.
Step 1 - Get your Orginal ROM.
If you can find your Carrier's / Supplier's ROM on this wiki page or on their website. Please jump ahead to Step 4 - Flashing back to Shipped Stock ROM.
If you cannot find your ROM on the wiki then download this ROM : RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe and proceed to Step 2 - Dumping your phones ROM.
Step 2 - Dumping your phones ROM
First you need to Dump the ROM from your Phone. Follow the instructions in this thread [TUT] Dumping an Rhodium ROM / SPL to obtain 4 *.raw files.
N.B: Although it might seem obvious to senior members, you must dump the ROM from your device before you flash it. If you have flashed another ROM to your device, then your orginal stock ROM is lost. You have 2 options, wait and see if your carrier will release one, or beg someone else with the same device to dump their ROM and share the *.raw files.
Step 3 - Reconstructing the ROM
-3.1: Extract the Kitchen to a Folder on the root of your PC (C:\, D:\, etc).
-3.2: Open the RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe file with WinRAR or 7Zip and extract the ruu_signed.nbh file and place it in the BaseROM folder of the Kitchen.
-3.3: Place the Part01.raw (XIP) and Part02.RAW (IMGFS) in the BaseROM folder of the Kitchen.
-3.4: Run RhodiumKitchen.cmd in the Kitchen.
-3.5: Enter the following options into the Kitchen:
-3.6: e, b (for Dumped ROM). Press [Space] once complete.
-3.7: c, a (for Cooking a ROM).
-3.8: Press the "Play" button in BuildOS and wait for it to complete.
-3.9: Close BuildOS, Close PagePool Changer and Press [Space] to goto the main menu.
-3.10: You will now have a Flashable NBH file. Press f to Flash.
Now goto Step 5 - Removing Security Unlock
Step 4 - Flashing back to Shipped Stock ROM
If you were lucky enough to find a shipped ROM on the wiki or your carrier's / supplier's website, then just run the "ship exe" and follow the on screen instructions.
Step 5 - Removing Security Unlock
If you have purchased the SIM/CID/Security unlocker by Olipro, you can re-lock your device using the following tool : http://hpcmonex.net/htc/secrelock.zip
Step 6 - Restoring the Splash Screen
This is only needed if you couldn't find your Shipped Exe. If you have your Shipped Exe, you get the splash with it.
You're best creating a seperate folder out side the kitchen for this.
-6.1: Find a shipped exe from another WVGA device (HD or TD2).
-6.2: Extract the ruu_signed.nbh from the Shipped Exe using WinRAR or 7Zip.
-6.3: Use NBH Extract (in the Kitchen\Tools Folder) on ruu_signed.nbh
-6.4: Delete all files, except 01_MainSplash.nb.
-6.5: Use nbImg.exe as follows: nbimg.exe -F 01_MainSplash.nb -w 480 -h 800
-6.6: Delete 01_MainSplash.nb.
-6.7: Use nbImg.exe as follows: nbimg.exe -F 01_MainSplash.nb.bmp
-6.8: Use HTCRT in the Kitchen\Tools to make a NBH file from the 01_MainSplash.nb.bmp.nb file.
-6.9: Put the new NBH file and copy RhodiumCustomRUU from Kitchen\Tools into an empty Folder.
-6.10: Run the RhodiumCustomRUU.exe to Flash the Splash.
Step 7 - Flashing back to Stock SPL
-7.1: Ensure you already flashed stock ROM and Radio, because stock SPL flash is always the last step before sending the device in.
-7.2: Extract the relocker zip and run the EXE on your PC.
-7.3: If you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). The included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL.
-7.4: Flash the Stock SPL
-7.5: Verify if it flashed by checking version in bootloader screen, it should say 0.79.0000, not 0.85.OliNex.

Did the same thing
Used the Ralphael Kitchen, changed the settings to Rhodium added some settings for Rhodium. used a signed Tmobile US Rom.
Nice Tutorial
Sorry, Dumb Question...
-MOD EDIT: Removed Full Quote
I have found my stock ROM, so I can continue with flashing back to stock, but where do I find the stock SPL?

First, thanks for this. I write a fair amount of documentation of my work as a network admin so I know how time consuming this is.
cdguider has been kind enough to dump and reconstruct the TMoUS ROM so I don't actually need to do this (although I may just for the exercise) but I do want to start learning how to modify this ROM to suit my own needs. Is there a guide up that will get us newbies started on using the kitchen? Hopefully one that explains in detail what each of the kitchen tools are and what they do as well as how the Rhodium ROM is constructed. I prefer to understand what I am doing versus following recipe steps. For example, My Hermes ROM was partitioned into the ROM and an extended ROM where carriers could put their installers. Does the Rhodium have an ExtROM?
OK, back to the search tool.

I prefer to understand what I am doing versus following recipe steps. For example, My Hermes ROM was partitioned into the ROM and an extended ROM where carriers could put their installers. Does the Rhodium have an ExtROM?
OK, back to the search tool.

No it doesn't.
For help with this Kitchen, see _Alex_'s cooking guides on the wiki for the Kaiser. That's where I started reading and then I just kept going, download kitchens published by other chefs and see how they put stuff together. There are two main types buildOS (like this one) and PRB that uses bepe's platform rebuilder - ervius's visual kitchen is based on it.
Thanks

Just click the [X] in the top right.
Pressing space will take you to the first set of options that the batch file offered you.

That's a label in the batch file .
Search for it in the RhodiumKitchen.CMD and see what's called from there.
P.S. I don't have this kitchen on this computer so a lot of guess work and memory on my part.

Porting isn't simple, have a look for some tutorials on using BuildOS and porting.
Adding and removing programs, to add, just create OEM packages, to remove, just remove them.
Have a look at _Alex_'s cooking tutorials on the Kaiser Wiki.

Question
Hi everyone ...
First of all Thanks alot for this Tut Dave awesome work.
I dumped my Stock Rom from a unbranded O2 TP2 and rebuild it.
For Cooking i used the signed_ruu from RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3. 44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
It did everything like described and i've got a
signed_ruu.nbh (1.19.207.1) newest o2 Stock Rom.
Should be fine right?
Do i also need to do Step 6 so creating a splash screen?
If anyone needs this rom drop me a message ...

Unbranding HD Mini to latest HTC ROM

Please not that this is my first guide on here and I'll make it as easy to understand as much as possible.
This has been tested on a Vodaphone branded HD Mini. Please reply to this post if this has worked on a different branded phone.
This is to help people to Unbrand their HD Mini's.
Have you managed to flash it to the latest ROM? If not you need to do the following:
•Download the SSPL_RUU.exe and put it into an empty folder (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694409)
•Add the RUU_signed.nbh that you want to flash to your device into the same folder (http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pho...adio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe) Assuming you want Western Europe ROM. You can use a different ROM if you want
•Connect your HD Mini to your PC. Making sure you use ActiveSync
•Run SSPL_RUU.exe and following the onscreen propmts.
Once done your phone will reboot. Next is to flash a Radio ROM.
•Move your ROM from the folder which contains the SSPL_RUU.exe
•Using the ROM that you just used Extract it to a location of your choice by using winRAR. Look for
Radio_32.2806.05.06_0.63.05.40 and rename it to PHOTIMG.nbh
•Place PHOTIMG.nbh into the same folder as SSPL_RUU.exe and flash once again
•Once done you will have a unbranded HD Mini as if you bought it like that. This worked on my Vodaphone
branded HD Mini and worked a charm.
I'd like to thank DarkForcesTeam for the SSPL_RUU.exe and the rest of the developers that have made
this possible. Without them we would be stuck with these branded phones.
Could the Admins place this as a sticky please. Many Thanks
The phone hard-resets after radio flash ? I want to flash only the radio.
Thanks for your guide, wardy. Great explanation.
But it doesn't work with my HD mini.
It stays at 0% for quite a long time. Afterwards, there's an error saying something about a wrong ID.
I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a HD mini hardspl

As long as you are using the SSPL_RUU.exe to flash only the radio & renaming then you can flash it. Yes after the flash the phone does hard-reset.
Which part does it stay on? Please list the error exactly as it appears so that I can help you further.
If its ''Error 294, Invalid Vendor ID'' then download PHO03693.exe over to your device and install it then try to flash the radio again.

Thanks, I installed PHO03693.exe now. What happened afterwards:
-The error I get when I try to install any ROM via “DFT_SSPL_MINI” is “[202] Connection error”.
-If I enter boot mode via my endkey app and install via “DFT_SSPL_MINI” after that, it ends with “Error [262]: Update error”. When I click “view document”, it says: “dummy file”.
-If I try to install official HTC ROM “RUU_Photon_HTC_Europe_1.36.401.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship”, I get “Error [294] invalid vender ID”
Not sure about that error code. Have you tried doing a hard-reset first then trying to flash the ROM. If your using Windows Vista or Windows 7 then try running SSPL_RUU.exe as Administrator. Hope this helps

I tried both Windows 7 and XP as administrator.
When I'm doing hard-reset, I have to install PHO03693.exe afterwards again. So I did.
It has confused me now mate :$ You'll be better waiting for the HSPL instead. Hopefully it won't be too long now for it.
I have a cracked hd mini with vodafone branding..........i wanted to install the latest official rom......but i'm unable to do so........also i'm new to all this stuff can anybody please help me with this.........thanks
Hi, I just extracted the ROM "RUU_Photon_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.36.707.3_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe" with WINRAR, but I don't seem to find the Radio file inside, I only see the "RUU_signed.nbh" file which I intend to update, am I looking at the right place?

Can anyone confirm if flashing the Radio rom is safe? - the DarkForcesTeam original link warns against it! > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694409
Im using an O2 UK HD MINI but have upgraded the ROM to the latest just the radio has remained at 0.63.05.18
I flashed with east europen ROM and now (and before flashing) I don't have GSM signal on phone, strange is that signal show up sometimes 1/5 and disapear again after few seconds but nothing else.
I have one phone with original Spanish language and have same problem with signal. dunno why that happen.
can anyone send me the steps in german? i dont really understand it xD
sorry but my english ist not perfect
Managed to carry out the Radio ROM update with an O2 branded phone.
However the Radio rom listed is still the old one (0.63.05.18)
The update process appeared to take but the radio ROM has remained the same. So take from that what you will?!
help
Please help me guys! I think i've done exactly like u said but when i want to flash the RADIO (PHOTIMG.nbh) after i've flashed the RUU i get this message: the update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility
I downloaded the Radio from HTC site, it was 2 files dont know why? 1 small for like 700kb and the other 12mb....

The only other thing I can think of is to have the latest radio from Windows Mobile. When you were using windows mobile, did you ever flash a custom rom? If you did then that may have fixed your problem if you were using the latest radio version. If you weren't, then I guess if you want to fix your problem, you're gonna have to flash a windows mobile 6.5.x rom with the latest radio and then flash android.

When you were using it, what was your radio version? If it was the latest, then it should have been 3.42.50. I read that for "Bell" users like you, the radio 3.42.50 is recommended for this installation.

The other one is for Bell Mobility and this one
comes with Radio 3.42.50.
Why am I giving "Way 3" if the other two options
seem much easier?? I have run into the problem
where my device would not let me flash other
radios than the one that I had. SD card method
did not work and the RUU started out fine but
