Where do I get Windows Mobile 6.1 for Samsung i780?

[anshugiri]

I have a Samsung i780 with PDA and Phone version i780DXHD1. I want to upgrade it to the latest 6.1 firmware. I tried downloading the official Orange firmware, but the installer wouldn't let me upgrade.

Where can i get the latest, stable build of Windows Mobile 6.1 for Samsung i780 and how would i go about installing it?

Thanks

In fact I have, but I havent found a one that talks specifically about the orange one and how to upgrade non-compatible phone versions.

Well you must hex-edit the device string in the updater EXE. Use HxD hex editor for example, look at the end of the EXE file and change the string according to your current version..

It worked... Thx a lot... :) I was scared to do that custom rom flash thing... Just one question: Does this void the warranty?
