Updated with no problem! Yay!

Just got mine updated. It’s really cool and everything is running so much faster. Good job from Samsung.

Only works on the Italian firmware? How about for mine? I bought mine right here in Dubai, UAE. So I think I have the “Arab” firmware which is I8910JVIF6. Will it work on mine, Briggs? Thanks in advance!

i had to reinstall a few apps
you have to make a backup, or your contacts and settings are lost
..but the 3d taskmanager is very nice an smooth

yeah, i have the russian firmware (but it’s got some bugs), whats the diff?

can i update throo vindows vista if i install old italian firmwre.

hey y dun u try the easiest way by using the symbian rom flashing tool. just download the firmware files u want.. connect ur phone wid ur pc with dat sofware on.. then just add the firmware files to the software on ur pc and click download simple..:) u can also check out the videos of how to debrand ur phone. but i think it wud void ur guarantee

Just tried with mine and the updating starts downloading no problem but then it stops as the phone screen first shows blue and says failed and updater shuts down. CAN YOU HELP? PLEASE.

I waited so long for this, feel a little bit disappointed

Well, it’s a nice shot but …
– Web browser still crashes from time to time
– When in browser, sometimes, when swiping finger, it launches the 3DNav app ?!!!
– When zooming in the web browser, the small overview windows that appears is really annoying when reading text
– Multitab support is still so poor on s60 browser
– When activating AntiShake in cam apps, taken pictures are *OVER* contrasted
– Have the feeling that operaMini still hangs from time to time (less than previously, agreed)
– Unable to use modem if the an app is already connected on the device
– And unable to connect on the device if already using modem
– Must first manually close all connection before switching 3G/2G, annoying
– Web browser do not automatically go fullscreen once the page is fully loaded
– I personally miss portrait mini qwerty keyboard that can be found on 5800
– Each time VideoPlayer starts, it rebuilds its library, why not maintain a cache same as mp3 player
– MP3 player does not adapt to selected theme + black/pink color ugly
– MP3 player : no customizable equalizer, only presets
– When listening to MP3 and activate cam, music stops -> Unable to listen to music while taking photos
– When listening to music or radio, any notification sound (email,sms,graviti twitter client) stops the music
– I personally don’t care abt video rec but several sources reported frame drop unfixed
– No kinetic scrolling

I hope all those come fixed in coming firmwares ….

I feel that this update is only about 3D taskswitcher and better battery (confirmed for me)

have your problem with the battery after that it was connected with New pc studio in yours pcs???…. becuase my batery life is died after 3 hours

Can i flash the new firmware with the flashing tool i used to debrand the phone?
I’m using IF2 and want to install xii2. I have a computer that uses XP.

hey Seth, im from dubai too, i’ve the same firmware of you !! still we can’t update here !!
i think samsung will be late in the middle east !! the italian ppl are so lucky !!

Thank you for your help and advice. I used the symbian flashing tool on an xp computer to reload last italian IF2 firmware then used pc studio to load Xii1 and it loaded ok.
The browser runs much smoother and the phone seems even faster.
I was happy with the phone before but it just gets better and better.
once again many thanks DaWa for your time and help.

Briggs! Why did i get banned . Plz email me.

try to debarnd youre phone an italian firmware flash on it then you can able to update youre firmware…

updated new software. 1 thing i noticed is that if your fone is on silent it will now only vibrate.

Hi ALL any1 help me out ?? I have debranded and have the italian version on it and all is well when I update up unitill it has 100% downloaded the update and then gets to 27% of the install. Then the phone goes into blue screen boot mode, the PC looses USB connection then reconnects, hoever on reconnect the PC installs new hardware but requires a standard USB driver????? I thought from SP1 in XP the usb drivers where part of the OS config.. Anyway I cant find a generic USB driver so my update just comes to a screaming halt… Any1 help, have any ideas or has it happened to you?? Thanks…

debrandheaven

Same thing happen to me
I installed to another computer from the samsung cd the usb drivermand pcstudio and all went well
On this computer i have not installed any files for debranding, so therefore no conflict between usb drivers
Hope this helps

can some one please confirm if this italian firmware supports arabic language!

using latest italian firmware with none of the problems you describe I suggest you hardreset the device and recheck …

does anyone know which itialian firm where is unbranded so i can up grade to xxii1

WTF – it appears that samsung firmware is trailing behind this masterpiece (or what really should be)
have just ordered this phone with the only UK provider ‘Orange Exploits’ and was really holding back for better version / provider. I know theres nothing really coming out in the iminent future hardware wise to challenge the omnia hd so decided to take the plunge ! & the 16GB version it appears has been stalled by orange to obviously get even more sales in at a later date – which is SAD – Samsung should have chose another provider to be their ambassadors. I am with Orange and their support is B&LLOX, complete BS.
Orange are a bunch of W&NKERS – SELL, SELL, SELL to the point where they get under your skin and render a tech marvel useless. I hope that with the use of this and other forums I can redeem my new phone. Did exactly the same with my N95 – thank god.

I flashed my phone & debranded mine back in June which was the Polish firmware (I had to change language from Polish to English). Will this be ok to flash it to the new Italian firmware using the same procedure..?
or would it be easier to flash it to the original Italian & where can I get it from?

No, unfortunately it doesn’t. It supports 5 languages: English, Italian, French, Spanish and German.

hello, i am from India.can i upgrade this firmware to myomnia hd (purchased in india)??
if so, will i get my warranty void???

Hey guys…

When I try to Backup my phone with the PCStudio it doesn’t work!!!

I have a Swiss I8910, but with an Italian number in it. When I try to update the firmware with PC Studio it stops after a while and doesn’t let me finish…

Why oh why ???

Are all you program files actually in “C:/Program Files\…”. Or like in Norwegian mapping, “Programfiler”? Try finding and running the actual EXE-file without using the shortcut in PC Studio. Also you can edit in regedit, HKLM-software-samsung-pcsuite” “ApplicationPath1″

Hi, i updated my 8910 and now all is really faster! GOOD JOB SAMSUNG

I am having problems installing the new firmware update,

The phone goes through the update process via the PC suite. But once total progress reaches 27% it freezes and nothing happens, i have left it for a couple of hours but it just wont go past 27%

Anyone got any ideas ?

regards
Rob

when I updated the firmware everything was in Italian, had work through menus to get back to English. Also all links, downloads and apps are all Italian.

Is it me, did I do somethng wrong?

The phone now needs to be restarted(battery out) at least twice a day due to freezing when doing pretty much anything. If the phone is not used for say about one hour then it freezes when I try to look at messages, phonebook, browse the net etc..etc.., the battery life manages to get 24 hours if I don’t use the phone(even with backlight turned down and timeout etc adjusted.

I know there are many suggestions on here for different upgrades, tell me though, can I uninstall the latest firmware or do I need to flash the phone then upload the original firmware before redoing the upgrade(it feels like sometjhign was missed in the original firmware upgrade process)

firmware is currently showing as: I8910XXII2 – I have no idea what it was prior to upgrade.

Any thoughts on wiping the phone and installing Windows Mobile 6.5 or android?

i just tried to install the xxja1 software last nite on my omnia and now the screen shows a mobile , a triangle with an exclamation mark inside and a pc.i tried to re flash it but same thing again.
any ideas?
