I said "great, can you connect me". A resounding "no" came back. There are not tech 2's working on Saturday and Sunday !!!!!


The Samsung rep told me to take out the data cable and call back on Monday...Needless to say I bricked another phone.


Is there a way to do this on windows Vista 64 bit? In compatibility mode I don't have the xp service pack 2 option I see in some posts. DETAILED instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, sorry to hear you've been getting the shaft so hard, my friend. It sounds like you have one of two problems. a) You don't have all the drivers installed, or b)something is not working right in compatibility mode.

greenskeeper is right, here are the steps to do it with 64-bit Vista:

1) When you get your new phone, turn it on and plug it into your computer (that has an active internet connection) so it can automatically download the driver. You probably already have this, but this is a "just in case"
2) No, with the phone still plugged into the computer, go into your phone's Start -> System -> Data Connection. Say ok to the little pop-up box and change the phone setting to 'As a modem hrough USB'. This may or may not install another driver (depending on whether you already have it). If it doesn't install anything on your computer, skip to step 3. If it DOES, however, let it finish and then re-boot your computer to finalie installation
3) Turn off your phone (completely!!! not just asleep)
4) Download a utility called UDML (you'll need this later anyway if you plan on using a custom ROM from one of the chefs here). You can get UDML from this post (called UDML Omnia V2.3)
5) Download the CF03 .img file from this post, and then follow the instructions in the same post

Viola! You should now have a working phone (finally )

Question. I have successfully flashed the new rom. When in messaging I touch (tap) a message on the screen if flips form Outlook mail to MMS if I click again it flips to text messages and so on. In the past when I touch (tap) in the message it would open the message. It will open the message if I double tap the message. Is this feature by design on the new rom or is there a setting that has changed? BTW I am running SPB Mobile Shell 3. I also have edited the registry so that the keyboard does not auto-deploy. I will say the keyboard has been much improved.

The touch screen seems to be much less responsive after the update.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm intrigued... Why was the phone locking up and the 'X' disappearing for some of us?

If i EVER get to flash to the new update I am really going to enjoy trying your ROM with the widgets. I like having a single full picture of my choosing on my screen. Fingers crossed.
