New O2 upgrade! Possible custom ROMS

tedkord · #1 (**permalink**) 01-06-2010, 06:40 AM

I can't post the link here, but there's a thread at modaco's O2 forum, with links. No one knows for sure yet if it contains the CSC and PDA files, as it's just an exe file, but it's hope anyway.

It doesn't update the PDA or CSC, just the phone.

It may not update them, but if it contains them, and just rewrites the originals, it could be used for custom ROMs.

This is really great news, as I was not expecting an update for this phone any time soon. I am a little surprised that there hasn't been much response to this announcement. Too soon? Maybe the cooks havn't read about it yet, or they are just busy already trying to create tools from the update file (hoping)? I also hope they are not all using other phones! This forum seems a bit on the less popular side.

I'm not sure if there is a full ROM. It only updates the phone software, the PDA portion stays the same.

I am hopeful, because it seems like a pretty big file (410 MB)to be merely a phone patch.

Edit: The 410 MB file was pulled and replaced with a 420 MB file. The download dialog box still says 410 MB, but the file downloaded is 420.

Does anyone know if any high level developers are looking into this for possible ROM development ?

From: http://www.samsung.com/us/i920/update/
"Maintenance Release 1 (CK24) containing Qualcomm 1x/EVDO Call Drop Patch"
"Samsung has released a software upgrade for the SCH-i920, which is recommended to be installed. This upgrade includes numerous software additions/enhancements/corrections. The update may take up to 10 minutes to complete if the system is already set up."

Nope, I've got the original from before it was pulled, the second from the 7th when it was put up again, and just to be sure I re-downloaded it right now.

Using JV16 powertools duplicate file tool, set to only report 100% matches, all 3 I've downloaded are exactly identical, and all 3 are 410.6mb. (All three are the XP version - I've read there's a vista version. Maybe that's 420mb)

But, the actual ROM hasn't changed. They simply pulled it for whatever reason, then put it back up two days later.

Anyone know where the list the details of the changes? I haven't had call drop problems, and don't want to flash my phone until somebody comes up with a Kitchen for it...

Thanks,
The Captain

P.S. If you use customer ROMs, send the guys working on them just a couple of bucks... really, 2-5 bucks is one heck of a deal for what we get! Otherwise they burn-out, and we all lose... oh where or where has Wazzer gone?
