ROM that went bad

[vegasboy423]

Hello all,

I am in great need of help! I will try to provide as much info as possible. I tried to install a new ROM onto my phone so that I might be able to unlock the gps on my Samsung Omnia i900 and bad things happened. I used the following two files:

i900DXHH1.7zip.exe
SamsungModem_xp.zip

Everything seems to go smoothly and at the end I get the following error:

Step 4. Phone image Downloading
Downloading PHONE...
Switch USB to Phone Success...
Error! PhoneUSB Detect Failed
Port Create retry (25)
.......
Port Create retry (0)
Download failed!!


</SPAN>After rebooting my device everything seems to be working normal but very very slowly and I have no service. The signal icon on the top has a “!” next to it.

Is there any hope for me, or do I now have a very expensive paper weight?

PLEASE HELP!!

Dude.....

It looks like you flashed an i900 ROM to your Verizon i910. I don't know much, but I do know that won't work with the Verizon phones.

Run a search for "CC20" (its the leaked beta rom from Verizon) and then run go up to the "sticky" section of this forum and start reading everything written by Adrynalyne in his custom rom threads.

If your phone will still turn on, there is probably hope. You will need to flash to the CC20 beta Rom before you can go any further.

Try to Contat Adrynalyne or Omega Ra. They seem to be the most knowledgable about messing around with ROM flashing.

Good luck and post back up when you have a solution. Chances are, you won't be the only one to make a mistake like this and it will help everyone else.

Vegasboy,
J32 may be right...which Omnia do you have? the I910 or the I900...?

[vegasboy423]

I have the i900

Who is your provider?

Since you were trying to unlock the GPS, I just assumed you were using Verizon with an i910. I thought they were the only ones that locked the GPS.

[vegasboy423]

So yeah....lol....I guess if my gps was already unlocked then now I feel REEALY stupid.

I guess now I just need to get my phone functional again

the people over at Modaco should be able to help...a majority of them have I900's I gave u the link in the other thread...
