updating i600 to windows mobile 6 with blackjack rom?

[Gwailo]

sorry, i know this is the wrong forum but I haven’t found a better one to post to.
just a short question regarding windows mobile 6 for the i600. Now, after the wm6 update was announced for the blackjack, do you think it will be possible to “export” the wm6 pda part of the blackjack to flash it to an i600 (but keeping the i600 radios incl. wifi)? for some reasons, I have the fear Samsung will not release a wm6 update for the i600 but I would love to update my i600 to wm6.

any thoughts?

well it's Samsung that's releasing WM6 to Cingular for testing. I strongly doubt they'd go through the trouble of providing a stable build to Cingular yet not use it themselves...

Hi all,

Just found this quote "Samsung recently announced that existing i600 owners will get a free upgrade to the new Windows Mobile 6. The update will be released on May 26th for testing, after which it will be available for current users to download." at http://www.vistaultimate.com/windows-vista-news/reviews-samsung-i600-windows-mobile-smartphone/47/ check it out. Being a new Samsung i600 owner i am very happy about the announcment!!!

Don't risk it. Anything that belongs to PDA ROM from i600 will not work entirely on i607 even if you keep your origninal Radio ROM. I tested my Cingular Blackjack and had no camera ('Can not connect to external camera' message) or vibra allerts after the flash with unbranded i600 PDA ROM. I do not own an i600, but pretty much aware of the consequenced after the upgrade on i607.
Hope it was helpful to make your decision.

I agree, i have read about lots people trying to put the i607 ROM on the i600 and vica-versa, all negative...dont try it.

Exactly what I experienced, trying to upgrade my i600 with i607 rom and it's a disaster. I cannot turn it on, it keeps power off instantly. Anyone know where I can download the original rom for i600? So I can get it back to its original state? Please... Thanks.

you should be able to put the i600 into bootloader mode and reflash with an i600 rom and it should be back up and running again

[trisip]

It doesn't work cause when I have installed the modem driver, uncheck the box in "allow USB connection in Active sync", connect the phone with USB and put the phone in bootloader mode, my PC doesn't recognize the phone at all. In the i600 there is only display Xcingular 1.2 , phone mode off. Phone not connected to PC. I read in ModaCo that I should use Serial cable data not USB cable data. Is it true? Anyone knows?
