[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
2. KChauJen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2554307&postcount=22
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:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317288&page=2 (Mamaich's the master of Cooking Rom)
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?

Split the thread from the NBH Extract thread.
Hi there!
First off all thanks for the great help and all the hard work you all doing!
Keep on going!
I have problem extracting my "RUU_signed.nbh" file using the the "NBHextract" tool. The "nbh" file I need is from the:
"RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship" Rom.
I'm trying to extract with the CMD, or trying to drag & drop the "RUU_signed.nbh" onto the "NBHextract", its says in the CMD: extracting. Bat in fact, noting happens! There only the same 2 file in the folder and nothing else.
Can any one help?
Maybe some of you can tray to extract the file and upload the result to www.rapidshare.com or somewhere else?
I'm using desktop with XP PRO English.
Please! I'm going crazy!

Have you downloaded the exe and need the NBH File? If so Install WinRAR, right click the exe and click Extract...
If you have the NBH file, then I suggest you re-try the steps you quoted again. Let me know if there are any errors on any steps.

Well, I did those steps before, bat have no result. Don't see any error at the CMD. only show me the extract progress and at the end (after 2 min), there are no result! Only the same 2 file I started the progress. (RUU_signed.nbh + NBHextract tool)
I have the NBH and need to extract it... So I can continue to step 6 at these guide: Reverting back to the AT&T or HTC ROM and SPL for Warranty or return http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568
Can any one trey to extract the RUU_signed.nbh from
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88 .07_1.27.12.11_Ship" Rom for me and upload the result?
Thanks in advanced!
Ok, update! I try to extract this in vista by drag & drop, and it worked!!! Bizarre...; and I got 5 file from the extract. The CMD still didn't work in the vista though...
Bat now i'm confused, because I read on other thread that I need to do Hard SPL first so I don't brick my TyTn 2 device... and in the guide:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568),
its says I don't need to do Hard SPL. So what should I do?
let me tell you the reason I want to flash the SPL: I install Hebrew support pack that I download from the net and it work ok till I start to notice a rapidly massage of low memory (I didn't install nothing else!), bat the most reason fact that I want to flesh the SPL is because in addition of that message, the cracked Hebrew pack, showing me the logo of the company that made the pack; every time I restart the device, just before the HTC welcome logo and its showing for at lest 30 sec!!! Every soft reset!! So I try to uninstal that pack and its still showing every restart! Even, try to up grade to WM6.1, and still its there!!!! So I start to read some thread and think I need that spl flash so I can get rid of that "sticky" logo that slow my device and steal my memory!!
Can any one now something like that issue, and what shold I do in order to uninstall that long logo?

OK I see what your getting at... Some facts first...
1. The guide you posted a Link to advises how to restore the Stock SPL and ROM if you have Hard SPL and a custom ROM. It does not mention Hard SPL for the simple fact that it is a guide on how to remove it (assumes you have it otherwise you wouldn't be reading the guide).
2. The SPL is the bootloader similar (in ways) to your PC's BIOS. I am pretty certain it has not been comprimised.
Firstly we need to know which splash was changed. There are 3 possible splashes that could have been changed. Have a look at this guide by -888- on upgrading you splash.
It is most likley to be one (or both) of the last two. Changing the first one requires Hard SPL and Flashing.
Rather than fixing the splash screens, I'd do a Hard Reset that will remove everything that was not part of your original OS ROM image.
If it is still there after that, I'd flash HardSPL and then flash a new Splash screen.
And, finally , this forum does not support cracked software, I will help you remove it however, if you promise to pay for it in the future

First off all, thanks for the help. I appreciate it!
I must mention that I buy the original version in advanced. I just was curious to check the net version and it turns out that it's not so good... to such an extent that I ruin me Kaiser...
now let me be more specific with me problem because i m not sure I explain the problem clearly and I don't want to start a progress that I don't know how to do....
So, like I say, after I finish the install of the language pack, I had to clear storage in order to crack the license. But since that, every restart, appear the logo of the software company for 30 sec!!! Every restart!!!! Its make me crazy!!!! (The logo appear just before the HTC logo load. (It's appear with the rom and the radio version = R.G.D). But this is not the main problem!! The most important problem is that since the install, its keep say me that I'm run out of memory, and I m even didn't install nothing!!! This is bad!
So off Corse I'm try to do hard reset and even try to upgrade to WM6.1, but the cursed logo is still there!!!!
Now, after I try to explain the problem, I want to know if the solution you recommended may solve the logo problem and more important the memory "leak"....
What I basically want is to bring me Kaiser to its original status like from "out of the box"... because it's only 2 week old!!!!!
I'm hope you understand me problem.
Thanks you in advanced!

Do you have a storage card? I wonder if it flashed off the storage card? Anyhow, let's get busy...
Firstly remove anything you want to keep off the card and then format it.
Then flash the Hard SPL using the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922 (Second set of instructions in post #2).
Once, you have completed the flash, enter the bootloader before Windows Mobile loads.
Then, when you are in the bootloader flash a New ROM and Radio.
Hopefully that will remove everything that shouldn't be there.
Also, moving out of pof's thread. To a new one

Anyone can please help?
Hi, sorry for the delay.
The instructions in my last post should get you back up and running. You'll have have to read up on the wiki and the ROM Development stickies for more help.
I am at work now, and am pressed for time at the moment, have a look on #xda-devs chanel on FreeNode after 8-9PM (GMT) for me. I'll be able to chat then. (I am also on MSN, but I don't use it at home that often. I'll try and make an effort over the next few days.)

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:

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?

first the orginal rom is here flash it like you normally would.
if you plan on flashing again the you don't have to do the next bit, but if your giving it in for warrenty then go here and follow the same instruction but when you open the hard-spl program replace the .nbh file with the stock one attached at the end of the post!

Just rename the extracted file to (without quote) "kovsimg.nbh", and make sure it is not "kovsimg.nbh.image", then you can update your rom via micro SD method or run RUU. Read this thread, or this thread to update your ROM.
I hope this will help....

hi, boot with power+back and show the info here for us to help you thanks =)
Well if you're talking about the rc29/rc27 you can go check out cyanogen's wiki at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod . I only hope that's what your meaning to gain root to your G1. If you need help just let me know.
You may have root access already.
To check
1) Grab the telnet application from the
2) Press home to go to the home screen
3) press the enter/return key twice
4) type telnetd
5) Press enter/return key twice again
6) open telnet
7) connect to local host port 21 and see if it will allow you to login.
If so you have root, either wise you'll need to look in to dowgrading or flashrec methods.
Thanks for your answers !!
