2. Unplug your device (if it's plugged).
3. Put your focus in download mode (I found this from Omnia forum), as astaccz already stated, press Volume UP + Camera + Power button, then after you see Exclamation Mark inside Yellow Triangle, release the button.
4. After the driver installed, Run the application (I use the 7.21 version) then load all of the files needed. (nb0, bin, etc)
5. Plug your device !! The Start button will be clickable now !!
6. Press start, and enjoy the flashing progress.
7. Wait until you get the Getting Started screen.
8. Enjoy !!!

That converted my focus to Rogers i917R instead of AT&T i917
2. Updated it with ZUNE untill 7.5 version without problem
3. Did cable/Wifi trick with Zune to get latest update 7.8
Tested everything and working good.
Only issue is not able to download NOKIA apps.
If anyone has any idea how to do that then it will be great.

You should not have any issues, but if you still do, download (with WiFi) Network Profile from Samsung.
I'm using Rogers ROM on my AT&T for a long while with no issues.

I am a lost soul !! All of you might think I am a basic Samsung Focus 1.3 owner that has a phone which awsa interunlocked by windowsphonehacker.com/ tool
I am running Windows Mango and I want to upgrade to Windows 7.8 I Have seen many threads and videos for doing that, have even seen Tools which allow the deployment of the OS version I am talking about, but the real question I have in my mind is, wheter my Unlock and sideloading apps work on that upgrade ?
I know myphone would be on 7.8 but will I be able to sideload apps and whether my Windows phone hacker tool work ??
I in simple words want to know whether Iwill have a true unlocked phone and if yes, then can somebody point to a thread or suggest to me how to go about it in a simple and concise way.
Thanks a lot. to all of you !

I have better GPS connection after JPJPG(OFFICIAL through kies)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
For Market: In phone dialer enter *#272*IMEI# . This wilk give u option to change from XSS to XSG, xsg has market enabled, by doing so you phone will reset, IMEI is number for you mobile handset, XSG is universal
OR
use attached market apk for XSS mobile, use Clockwork mode to "install from zip file" if you dont have Clock work mode, rename the zip to "update" and apply in Recovery
Battery is not draining that quickly but wifi sucks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
JPJPG is available through Kies aswell, If you are on JPJPA, flash back to JPJG8 and connect your mobile to Kies, It will offer you JPG upgrade, Before flashing back you need to backup your data/ sms/call logs etc and then flash back
Quick questions guys:
Just got 2.2 through Kies. I now need to re-download my apps, over 90% of them are not showing through the market, not even through search. Im guessing I have to change again to XSG like I did when I had 2.1, then root again as well to enable Market Enabler and access paid apps like I used to (which I did with Ryanza)
1. Old XSG access code (HHMM) gets rejected, new code IMEI gets rejected,is there a way to enable this without flashing etc (i'm a very low-tech person)
2. How do I root this phone, Ryanza's, the only step by step guide I got for this was based on downloading odin with root kernel for JPH, as you know we are running on jpjpg.
3. Are you guys experiencing lags? I'm not so far.
Would really appreciate your help, with easy shortcuts. Never used odin ..etc...but was willing to give it a try until i noticed the different kernel code.
Thanks!
I Upgraded to Froyo Through Kies. The build number is JPJPG.
The App Drawer has major lag when changing pages. It was much faster with the stock Eclair rom. GPS is still the same, it was not fixed at all. I have not noticed any improvement in Battery life either.
2. How do I root this phone, Ryanza's, the only step by step guide I got for this was based on downloading odin with root kernel for JPH, as you know we are running on jpjpg.

Thanks! Was able to root my phone. But still can't use Market Enabler, it require SU APP + busybox. Any idea what are these and easy was to install?
Hi:
I updated my european SGS through kies last week, but i cant become root now...
Its posible for now become root and how?
Thanks in advance

I also got the update through Kies last friday, nov 19th. My phone had the 3 button recovery issue, I found a fix here on xda (will get the link later, its bookmarked on another pc)
I also installed voodoo lagfix PRE6, and the phone is working like a charm, highest Quadrant score 1510. After installing voodoo lagfix, rooting is so easy. Just install superuser from the market, and bingo.
So I can confirm that JPJPG works fine with:
- Voodoo lagfix project-voodoo.org
- Flashing the boot loader to fix the 3 button recovery issue
- rooting
Need to ask a question, can anyone please backup the stock ROM and upload it somewhere? in case I ever need to go back to stock, I stupidly forgot to take a backup

To backup stock rom, you need Rom manager premium, It will install clockwork mode recovery, let me know If you have issues with that. Rom manager premium is paid but crack is available at blackdroid.net
Lgfix: I am using Universal lagfix (last option**No-RFS Overkill JFS: turns on all options: everything is jfs+ext2 and /data/data is bound to /dbdata**), it gives me a quardant score of 2100+
You get ULF from clockwork mode (install Rom Manager*free version* from market and open the app and the 1st option installs CWM) for details see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734166&highlight=clockwork+mode

Hi,
I have used CF root using Odin, its takes 3-7 seconds
Download the this file "CF-Root-JPJPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.zip" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
and open Odin 1.3, its better to keep odin and above zip file in one folder, lets say in C:\.......
Unzip this zip in the same folder
Once Odin is open, click PDA to browse (downloaded Unzip file)(CF-Root-JPJPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1) and Now shutdown you mobile (wait till its really off), press Volume down + power+Home simultaneously and bring your mobile in recovery mode, connect it to your computer, you will see 1st box on Odin will change its colour and it will comm 7 or 11
press start, it will reboot your mobile and you are rooted, let me know if you have any issues
For Market , download zip from post 6 and install via Clockwork mode

Which root you used, normally all the roots available in these forums install Su and Busybox, check in your apps if you see Busybox
if its not installed re-root the mobile using CF-root, its safe, and method is in above posts or check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108

Error 8010048 when flashing

dudes45 said:
Hey Casey, I need some help with my Omnia 7. Bought it today and basically I cannot update via Zune I get error 8010048 I think and basically I think it means the guy who owned the phone before me flashed a custom rom which makes it unable to flash on Zune! Please help. Also my phone does not show up in the WP7 update tool either I was hoping installing the older rom from this thread might sort it. Oh well i hope you can help me in some way or another, cheers mate

Hi,
I'm replying to your PM via a new topic, so that others can contribute and benefit.
I've done a little research and it's an unexplained error code (i.e. not listed here). Since you cannot seem to flash a new ROM via the update tool we're a bit stuck.
Have you tried hard resetting the device?
Can you boot into Download Mode?
What are the software & firmware versions?
Casey
did you test the official Samsung patch for omnia 7 ?
I can see in other forum than it cause by faulty bootloader. Try the patch. And test again.

So basically, my phone works as it should (Just to confirm). I have actually been trying to flash via Zune originally but to no avail. I then tried to flash with the Windows tool downloadable in Casey's post, my phone was not detected I tried front and back ports in my PC.
I ran the 'Walshed' Phone tool which is said to fix this issue, I have run it 3 times and on the third time it worked I now have the latest update. Anyone who is having issues downloading the 'Walshed' Phone Support Tool, use IE 8 or 9 I used IE 9 and it worked but would not initiate the download with Opera. Cheers for your help guys

[Q] Stucked on Samsung Screen CAN put in Download mode

I tried searching but not really sure what it is I need.
Histiory:
I installed Zune on my computer and hooked my Windows 7 Focus up for the 1st time.
While in Zune it told me updates were available. I clicked on update,it went through all the steps,but when it got to restarting your phone thats where it stayed.
After 13 hours I disconnected the phone,and now I just have the white Samsung logo,although I CAN get into download mode and hard reset
My issue is what am I supposed to download,and how? I'm as noob as you get,but hopefully I can follow simple instructions.
I found a thread on here about firmware revision,but when I click on that it wanted me to install iVid,or something like that,and not even sure what firmware I was supposed to be using.
Under the battery it shows Rev 1.4
Please,can someone help me restore my phone?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, well since you can put it in download mode, you can install MAGLDR (custom bootloader) and flash a custom rom.
Install all for revision 1.4 , link for MAGLDR(read carefully the instructions) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485569
link for custom rom for version 1.4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024825

I really appreciate the help.
I'm a little concerned about putting anything custom because of my lack of technical knowledge. I'm afraid if I encounter any issues in the future,it wont be easily corrected with custom roms.
Does Zune then work with a custom Rom,or is it no longer needed?
Can anyone provide the factory firmware and instructions on how to download and install ?

Ok thanks. I guess I didn't read it well enough,as this is the thread that I did search ,but wasn't sure as to what link to use,and when I cliick on the links I got this:
http://lnx.lu/5yD, and I didn't think that was right as stated in the very 1st line of my original post. I guess I should have linked that thread and asked the question form there as which to use,and if I was supposed to be on some page for "final torrent"
okay, let's go slower then:
- went to the link with the factory firmware
- there are three roms provided there; since you said that your focus is a rev 1.4, the correct rom is the one labeled WP7_PRODUCT_4K (1.4 HW), in other words, the rom named "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K"
- clicked the link, multiupload says that the file is no longer available
- went back and checked the other two just because... all gone... figures, HEH
- performed a web search for the term "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K" (see the trend here?)
- while most of the mirrored links are dead, there are still mirrors alive and well, as noticed on the very first page of results
- one of these is stored on depositfiles, the link: http://depositfiles.com/files/oimdoqz1r
- the other is on zippyshare, http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/14086695/file.html
now your mission is:
- download the file
- follow enderpsp's guide, here, again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17092804#post17092804
- if successful, treat yourself to a nice drink
- SAVE THE FILE in its original package and store it in a cool, dry location for future use
...and that's why i said that search works. because it does
cheers and good luck
ps. there's a thanks button in this forum for a reason :angel:

I agree,as long as you know what your searching for. When you find threads with broken links ,as I did,it makes a noob even more confused then when they started the search. See 1st line of my original post.
I'm just a guy that had a working phone and when it went to update, killed my phone.
I had no idea the rom you posted is what I needed,,,,so again thanks:good:.

Now I'll explain what happened when I tried the above:
When you follow enderpsp's guide he states:
You will not need the "Samsung WP7 Flash Program" as it is included in the ROM (Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe).
Install Samsung Mobile USB Drivers v5.2
Unfortunately no instruction for a noob on how to install the USB Drivers:crying:
Next it states to:
"1. Copy "Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe" in a new folder and run it (Install). After running you will see these files:
signed_CSC_Cetus_ATT_i917ATTJK2.csc
signed_eboot_Cetus_ATT.eb0
signed_pda_Cetus_ATT.nb0
signed_phone_Cetus_ATT.bin
WP7 Downloader Ver 7.21 for All Device (Publish version).exe
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe
Then it goes on to state:
"The fhash program you need to run is
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe"
Unfortunately WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe is not part of the download.
The flash program you are being told to run isn't there:crying:
Again very confusing for a noob (see the trend here?)
So currently here is where it stands. Don't ask me how,but after more hours spent on this then I can remember,I manage to restore the phone... YEAA !!
but when I connect the phone to the computer or just turn it on it tells me there are updates for the phone. Running these updates is exactly what caused the problem originally,so now I don't know if I should try again,or just leave a working phone alone?
But again,I really do thank you for your time and support.Yor help is what kept me going at trying to resolve my issue.

Yes,I did,but then it tells me there is a update. Updating the phone through Zune is what started my original problem.
Plus I'm not really sure what the update really is for.

[Q] Cannot install any rom / cannot restore to stock (T-Mobile D801)

Long story short, I deleted my backup rom (Don't ask Please cause I already know)
I am running TWRP 2.6.3.2 and it does NOT let me install any rom (4.3 or 4.4) I constantly get the error (Error executing updater binary in zip) for every rom zip I have downloaded.(AOKP)(PA)(CM 11) etc...
I've tried the Return to stock guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 in General Discussion, and I consistently get stuck @ 49% when restoring the firmware.
I also cannot get the LG Mobile support tool to download a new firmware for the phone itself.
I do have access to sideload via TWRP but it is useless because every rom gives me an error.
Do I have any options left or do I just call it a week and enjoy my $600 paper weight?
Please any help would be much appreciated!

Can you get into download mode? If so, the LG Mobile Launcher should work. Make sure you have the latest drivers downloaded from LG. It should also be in the thread about using the Mobile Launcher. I couldn't get it to work at first because I didn't install the latest drivers. Just plugging in the phone to your PC won't do it. Also, if you do get it to work, the firmware that will be installed will be d80110g, not d80110c that came with the phone. There is no info about this version other than the thread I started about it. Code Hustler tweaked ioroot to root this version and it is in the thread. Just search "T-Mobile software update" in the general section if you do get it installed. Good luck!
Sideload the latest twrp recovery and then pick your rom and retry make sure you are correctly wipeing systen dalvik and chache

Whenever I try to use the upgrade, it never even asks me for my IMEI , it says stuck displaying: Downloading software, but it never downloads anything. It could be a driver issue. There is just so many links on here maybe I really haven't installed the correct drivers??
Any links to drivers that works would be very nice if possible!

Can you get into download mode? If so, the LG Mobile Launcher should work. Make sure you have the latest drivers downloaded from LG. It should also be in the thread about using the Mobile Launcher. I couldn't get it to work at first because I didn't install the latest drivers. Just plugging in the phone to your PC won't do it. Also, if you do get it to work, the firmware that will be installed will be d80110g, not d80110c that came with the phone. There is no info about this version other than the thread I started about it. Code Hustler tweaked ioroot to root this version and it is in the thread. Just search "T-Mobile software update" in the general section if you do get it installed. Good luck!

Problem Resolved / My Solution
Okay, after 12+ hours of trying every method possible on XDA I finally resolved my issue. I will update the first post just incase any others care or fall into the same dilemma I was in.
The LG Mobile Support tool would not download the firmware and it would NOT ask me for my IMEI to download it either.
So my solution....
***
Installed LG Mobile Support Tool then Installed the LG Drivers.
BEFORE I connected the phone to the computer. I opened the LG Mobile support tool clicked (Options on the top right).
When the dropped down opened, I clicked the (Upgrade Recovery) option. THEN, is when the prompt opened to ask me what my IMEI is.
Before I entered my IMEI, I connected my phone to the computer, then proceeded to enter my IMEI and hit OK.
This is when the LG Mobile Support tool SUCCESSFULLY downloaded the latest official LG firmware and installed it.
*** BE AWARE, with the phone connected to the PC, the prompt NEVER appeared to enter my IMEI.
*** But with the phone disconnected, the prompt came up every time. This might be the trick for some people.
*** with the IMEI prompt opened, I then connected the phone , entered the IMEI, then hit OK. BOOM HERPES....
Well I'll polish this up more later. I hope this works for every LG G2 Variant and not just the T-Mobile one (D801)

Well, good to hear that your phone works again... I see CM nightly has some TWRP install script in lastest build, and a TWRP version for CM 10.2 and CM11...

Sony Flashtool/EMMA not installing

Hi,
I'm trying to install Flash Tool for Xperia devices - have tried on Windows 10 and Windows 7 - but after installation, when it is run the first time nad it is updating itself, it ens up failing and showing this message:
Sony Mobile Update Manager
Update failed! Please download and run a new install package.
After this, if I try to run Emma.exe it hangs - no window shows but the executable is still running in Task Manager.
Any ideas?

Did you follow the instructions? - http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
You have to copy "Customization.ini" file, as written - usually that's the problem...
Yes, I followed those instructions, but the error still occurs

- see if you can keep it from updating, (maybe a checkbox during installation, or a settings option)
- see if you can find a different version to install
- uninstall/reinatall
- maybe make sure you're running as admin
- if what you want to do is update ta, I've read that the update is included in latest fw, so you could flash w/ Flashtool
Besides that, not sure. I know many people have used it successfully with those instructions.
Hi,
Thanks for suggestions. I've tried them all to no avail.
If you have a link to an alternative version, let me know. I tried 0.9.18.1 but it doesn't detect my device properly.
Sorry, didn't understand the last line of your post - "if what you want to do is update ta, I've read that the update is included in latest fw, so you could flash w/ Flashtool"
What is "ta"? I would like to put the stock firmware back on the phone. Currently it is running Resurrection Remix.
Thanks...

Easiest thing is prf from this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...503-14-6-1-236customizedinpre-rooted-t3265543. Next easiest is probably Flashtool/Xperifirm, http://www.flashtool.net/
