Samsung i8910 HD debranding
Were looking anyone that has i8910 HD unbranded firmware / generic i8910 firmware and the means to flash it to let us know. This way many users can flash the unbranded firmware if this wish debranding theirphones. Removing the operator’s logo’s and customisation, giving us the default applications too like facebook widget and social network upload features.
If you have any info on how to unbrand our Samsung i8910′s please let us know.
Sorry we posted earlier that you could use JAF to read the product code. Seems the tip we were sent was incorrect. JAF doesn’t work on Samsung Mobiles. So we just need to sit tight and hope that someone has a solution soon for debranding i8910′s.
Hi,
as the Apollo-Tool (v 6.05) does support the I8910 i guess you can flash it with this software.
all you need is apollo 6.05 and the flash files (you can get it on share4gsm.com) and then boot your phone with certain keys pressed (don’t know the keys yet) to bring the phone in the bootloader-mode and then you can flash the firmware you like on it. firmware includes the customizations made by providers (aka branding) but i think you will have to unlock (simlock) your phone afterwards too
Hi v1rtu4l Thanks for the info. I will look into it and if possible flash my phone with a generic firmware as soon as someone uploads/shares it.
I found that site has firmware for the i8910. They have all the current ones too.

Also this Samsung flashing forum maybe helpful.

The old method of getting into bootloader mode does not work for this handset. Im wondering if an unlocked phone will be able to benefit from the firmware upgrade?
It might be worth £13 to unlock the phone and try it
I have an unlocked phone. how do i do it?
you can get into the flashmode by pressing HOLD and slide volume up key together while powering on (pda download mode)
Managed to get it into boot mode ! ! ! ! ! Hold the lock key, volume up key and turn on ! ! ! ! ! ! 1 step closer!
^ i mean flashmode lol!
where did you getyour unlock code from, i just brought one and it didnt work.
Great anyone been able to flash yet? I guess we need unbranded firmware?
We have a thread in the forum discussing this:

What is Flash mode, iw ould try this, but i dont want my phone to crash
Sudhanva, Flash mode is the mode your phone needs to be in when it is being serviced (flashed). Really could do with generic firmware now as orange have restricted youtube videos!
Just wondering, i’m from canada and plannin to get an unlock samsung hd phone from hk can i use like a fido sim card for this phone ? cause i’ve also heard that theres no slot for sim cars =S
As long as the phone is an unlocked one it will work. Sim fits under the battery.
This is so ridiculous that Orange has restircted youtube videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to debrand this as soon as i can. ORANGE SOFTWARE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, I still don’t get this servicing thing… i think i understand a bit. Sorry… Help please Liqu1d5nake
Its basically a mode for the I8910 to be modified, its like going into the bios on windows.
and if i’m stucked between the samsung s8300h and diamond 2, which one would you pick ? cause i’m not sure if my friend can find the omnia hd
My girlfriend has the s8300 (tocco ultra) and it is terrible. It has so many issues, very slow menu! Try for the HTC touch HD.
I got it into boot mode, however when i try it again, it no longer works. Can you only do it once???!!!
They have done it over at http://share4gsm.com/index.php?strona=files&act=/Samsung/GT-I8910
Think you have to stump up 15 euro for access, but over at http://samsungi8910omnia.com/forum/omnia-hd-firmware-discussion/new-flashing-program-and-firmware-released-tomorrow/90/ they seem to think it works.
Does the Omnia HD support flash?
I had an i8910 branded to buggery by Orange…I have now successfully de-branded the phone to how Samsung intended. It’s not much different really
I’ve uploaded the unbranded firmware xxie6 and orange firmware to demonoid.com to download for free using bittorrent. You’re welcome.
