5. Copy the contect to other location for further usage
6. Replace RUU_signed.nbh with .nbh you have insted (don't forget to rename it to RUU_signed.nbh)
And thats all - installer does not see the phone!
Entering the bootloader displays a b&w phone connected to a pc - pc recognizes its as Omega and thats all... - any ideas?
I got a bit further. You have to power the phone on whilst holding down the Volume Up and Down button/s at the same time.
This takes you to a screen where you can Factory Reset etc. The PC will pick the phone up using the USB cable and you can follow your instructions above.
However, when I tried I get: ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID
I have a Orange UK branded phone, I have followed your instructions above. I will look for another RUU to test.

for those who cant get pass the "Hard-Soft SPL - created by sp3dev",
1- You'd have to download this file HTC.Device.Software.Unlock.zip and Appl Unlock your phone.
2- Download hspl.7z and Copy spl.nb, spl.lnk and jumpspl.exe to the root of device, hold camera and launch spl.lnk - you`ll see the white screen.
3- Download http://rapidshare.com/files/114457795/wm61OxygenUpdate1.rar and upgrade your phone using the Flasher included in the file you downloaded in step 2.
I did mine, and now I have wm6.1 installed in my phone. and I loved it.

but you can only enter in bootloader then the system doesn't starts, does it?
however if you can access to the system you will have to do like this
1) You'd have to download this file HTC.Device.Software.Unlock.zip and Appl Unlock your phone (copy the three files from the folder where you have extracted the archive to the root of your phone; then run the files in numerical order)
2) Download hspl.7z and Copy spl.nb, spl.lnk and jumpspl.exe to the root of device, hold camera and launch spl.lnk - you`ll see the white screen.
3) Connect the USB cableto the PC. (when you plug the phone, the pc will install other drivers)
4) In the hspl folder you have another folder named flasher. From the flasher folder run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the instructions to flash Hard-SPL on your phone. After this step your phone will restart itself and you'll be able to install any ROM ( the instructions to flash Hard-SPL on your phone say that you have to estabilish an activesync connection with your pc but if doesn't happen go forward; the important thing is that your pc have installed other drivers)
5)Now take the file RUU_signed.nbh[40.1Mb] which you previously downloaded and copy it to the folder flasher over the one that is already there.(http://rapidshare.com/files/115494795/RUU_signed.7z)

Do you have manualy lauched the spl.lnk or when you hold the camera button it launch automatically?
I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II and it just seems that flashing is impossible. I am pulling my hair out!
I have searched the forum and cannot see anyone else having had the same problem
I have tried to flash WM6, as provided by T-Mobile and also I have tried to flash Hard-SPL, but get the same problems with both.
First of all, if I try to flash by flashing from the PC, via ActiveSync, it all seems to be fine until it comes to that actual flashing itself. As soon as the flashing process begins, the phone goes to the bootloader and disconnects from ActiveSync, producing an error message in the program on the PC.
I have tried doing it directly on the phone, as described in post 1160 of the Hard-SPL, Or How to Not Brick Your PDA Ever Again And Fix Bad Blocks! thread, but when I reach step 7, where it should go from the tri-color screen to another screen, asking you to press the power button to start, it doesn't happen! The tri-color screen appears, followed, for less than a second, by a screen which says "Loading..." and then it just goes back to the bootloader screen, where it stays until I do a reset.
Anyone got any ideas at all?
CID Unlock the device then try to flash it, make sure battery is fully charged too. Have you tried entering bootloader manually then trying to flash the tmobile rom?
It won't even let me do that!
I have just tried to do this, using pof's free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker but even that won't work.
Pof's zip file contains 3 methods of doing this. I'll list all 3, with a description of where it goes wrong each time. Perhaps that will make the problem clearer
Easy auto-install Instructions:
-------------------------------
1. Unzip unlocker and run AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat
2. Follow directions on screen
The .bat file starts a program on the PC. It goes OK, until it sends the phone to the boot loader screen. ActiveSync immediately disconnects and an error message comes up on the PC...
ERROR [260]: CONNECTION
The Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone
Check the following:
1. The PDA Phone is connected to the USB cradle/cable
The USB cradle/cable is connected to the PC
Click 'Exit' to quit
manual instructions:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it
2. Tri color screen will appear
3. Disable activesync (file -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections")
4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
As long as the Tri-color screen is showing, the PC does not recognise the PDA Phone as being connected, even if the USB is connected
5. run RUU/RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe
6. follow the flashing process (Check the "I understand..." and "I completed..." boxes and update!)
Rather unsurprisingly, the same error as above appears
7. Allow your phone to reboot.
8. Transfer HERM_Unlock_v3.exe program to your phone and run it
9. Click the Unlock Button, select unlock option. Select if you want SIM/CID unlock.
10. Click "Unlock!" and wait until process finishes.
11. When done, turn off your phone for 10 seconds and reboot after that.
I actually still went through steps 7 to 11 and it all seemed to work, but although it said the PDA Phone was now SuperCID, it wasn't
update using the SD-Card Method:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unrar RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe
2. Unrar RUU_Inside.exe This file doesn't exist in the zip file
3. Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer
or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
4. Rename HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the FAT32 formatted microSD card.
5. Insert microSD card on your phone
6. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it
7. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button. Nothing to confirm. The phone simply goes straight to the Tri-color screen and stays there until you do a soft reset
Again, I don't know how much help it is, but if I go to the boot loader screen, via the power, OK and soft resent buttons, I see the following information...
HERM300
IPL-1.01
HERM300
SPL-1.04
If I run the SSPL-HERM program on the phone, it takes me to the boot loader screen, but with the following info...
HERM300
HERM-SSPL by des
HERM300
SPL-1.09.ds
Any ideas?
Go to bootloader and tell us what your SPL is... If its 2.10 olipro then you have Hard SPL installed. This process is VERY quick so it may have worked and you just didn't notice the change.
As for using the PC & Activesync, if you have Hard SPl, use the sd card method to load new OS's onto your Phone instead as its safer and easier (same as how you loaded Hard SPL except you don't need to run the SSPL program from your device, just put file on card, rename and reset to bootloader.
Cheers...
That info is in the prevoius post. Before you worry that you are going mad, I edited the message to add that info, so I guess you probably asked, before that info was there
Hi,
Please forgive the newb-ness, but I could really use some help in understanding how to update my Samsung Continuum to joshkoss' "Light EC07 Rom (beta3)."
I am brand new to the vocabulary and methods and I really don't understand what everything means.
I was hoping someone could kind of walk me through the steps outlined below, and give a dumbed down explanation of exactly what to do.
I have the phone (obviously), as well as the guide below, all the files have been downloaded, and I'm ready to go.
I just need someone to give a detailed version of the steps below...
1 Flash stock EC07 using Odin.
2 Plug your phone into your computer after your phone has rebooted 2 times and then backup and format the SD card.
3 Once you are done and into EC07 Stock, copy my rom onto your sdcard so you can flash it at the end of these steps
3.5 Please flash CWM 2.5 Kernal via odin and place this update on root of your sd card and boot into cwm 2.5
4 After flashing the above, boot back into CWM and then flash my rom

Use ODIN to Flash Your Samsung Android Devices
Odin is a windows application that can be used to flash different firmware onto various Samsung Android Devices. It is vital that EVERYBODY who roots their Samsung Device knows how to use ODIN because it is often the only way to flash certain ROMs/Firmware or completely revert back to stock firmware. Also, when all else fails, it is the only way to restore a device to working condition after a partial brick or boot loop.
Setting Up ODIN
1. First you need to download the Samsung USB drivers for Windows and ins
2. THEN connect your phone to the USB. (some folks have had luck doing it in reverse..connecting the USB then Power and vol down)
tall them. They can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929 ;
3. Once it has finished, download this file: http://www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/Odin3.rar
4. Unpack it using winrar, and place it in its own dedicated folder.
5. You now have Odin set up and you can use it whenever you need to flash your Galaxy S, providing you have some images to flash.
Preparing the Files to Flash
1. Download this file: www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/s1_odin_20100512.rar and extract it. This is your .pit file.
2. place the file you downloaded into an easily recognizable folder(in case you need the same file a month from now)
3. Download this file now: http://www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/T959UVJFD.tar . This is your .tar file.
4. Do not extract the file you downloaded in step 3, but move it to the same folder as the .pit file.
Booting into Download Mode and Flashing the Files
1. Open ODIN and in the PIT section, select the .pit file you downloaded.
2. In the PDA section, select the .tar file your downloaded.
3. Turn your phone off, then plug it into your computer using a USB cable.
4. Wait for the battery charging icon to appear, then press and hold the volume up, volume down, and power buttons.
5. When the screen turns black, let go of the power button, but continue to hold both volume keys.
6. You will eventually see an picture with black Android robot digging within a yellow triangle.
7. If you see something else after your phone has booted, try steps 4-6 again.
8. On your computer, if one of the COM port icons in ODIN has turned yellow, then your phone has been recognized. If not, try again from step 3.
9. If you still do not get any results, try another USB port on your computer. The ones in the back always seem to work well.
10. Press the start button and wait. If you do not see a blue progress bar on your phone after 5 minute, take out your phones battery, unplug your phone and start from step 1 again.
Hi,
Thank you for trying to help, but I need a little more clarification on the rest of the steps... can someone please help?

I rooted the phone with the RootOptimusG.bat file, and then used FreeGee (v.5) to unlock it. Now the phone won't boot up; it just plays the opening AT&T chimes with a blank screen. I can get back into the CWM fast boot screen. How do I unbrick it and get the unlocked bootloader to work?

"Hey to TaviRawr and anyone else you may have softbricked their phone, use this method and it will undoubtedly bring your phone back to life.
Preparing for unbricking:
1.) First download this Jelly Bean LGE970 848 MB TOT/BIN Update File
2.) Then download this AutoLGNPST made by tSilenzio
This will automatically install the proper LGNPST, DLL, and LG Drivers files for bringing your device back to life, it will also register the DLL files properly.
Unbricking:
1.) Extract .TOT file from the Jelly Bean .ZIP file.
2.) Rename the *.TOT to *.BIN (DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BUT THE EXTENSION, LEAVE THE FILE NAME AS IS).
3.) Run LGNPST_ACG from the Start Menu (make sure its the one that the AutoLGNPST installed although it may not mater what version you have as long as the DLL is registered properly.).
4.) Put phone into download mode (Power off phone and then Hold Vol Up + Down and insert USB cable at the same time).
5.) Select the LGNPST_LS970.DLL for the DLL file.
6.) Select the *.BIN (the one renamed from *.TOT file) for the BIN file.
7.) Click start and let LGNPST bring your phone back to life, if you need to re-root, use this method to root, and voila your back in action.

4. Unplug your phone! Important step.

To get this tool to work, you'll need to do a few tricks.
1. Set the computer's date to some time in July 2012 or before.
2. Disconnect the internet
3. Find a serial number or register key for LG flash tool 1.5 (search the web)
4. Execute the LGFlashTools. It should ask you for a key, put it in. Now you should see a dialog where you can load the DLL file and the TOT files that you extracted earlier. Put them both in here. Click ok
Flashing
5. There is a yellow arrow on the top left. Click on it to initialize the process. Once done, it should say "ready/finished" or whatever.
6. Put the phone in download mode again, and plug it into the USB port. LG FLash Tools should start flashing it automatically. When it's done, it'll automatically reboot into your stock Shipped rom and all of your data and internal sdcard files are gone.
i will be uploading the tot file for f320s on my google drive for anyone who needs it, the rest you should be able to get easily on your own.
