How exactly do I flash this rom? I'm coming from a different rom and since you have to do something completely different to flash this rom what do you have to do get this to work properly?
oh bro¡ thats sounds like a lot of work for me is better to use custom romHi every one, I just updated to 7.8!!! Did it after 6 hours of looking form the rom and learning how it worked.
I am not an expert on cellphone flashing or anything like that, i am just a regular guy that like to play without taking risks to big...
I have one of the first ATT Focus, and i was so frustrated with not even receiving the tango update... i had a spare (broken) focus that did not had a screen, so i decided i can play with it and if i break it further more, it wouldn t mind as i only had it for spare parts.
So, i was trying to get the update from the link provided on the first page of the update, but it kept taking me to a advertizement page, so i decided to look for the rom somewhere else, and i typed in google:
Samsung i917R Focus firmware UXJL2 ROGERS CANADA
i got a few download pages. so i went for the one that sound more familiar (i hate myself for not remembering witch page i got it from)... well, i downloaded an *.exe file, it was about 160mb, i think... it was not a small file.
one downloaded, i realized it was an executable ZIP file, ant it contained 6 files, 2 were applications and 4 where wierd files (i remember i read those weird names somewhere else, so i knew they were the ones).
The 2 applications were 2 versions of the "WP7 Downloader" application, i used v7.21.
first you have to set the phone into Downloand Mode, or you won;t be able to select anything on the app.
then you have to clic on all the "check boxes" of the app (they are 4)
On the first "select image" part of the window of the program, select the path where you unziped all the files, it will show you only one file, Select IT.
On the second "select image" part of the same window, select the path where you unzipped the files on the three fields you can select something. you will only find one file type for each of the three fields.
after that clic on start and wait until phone shows you the "Getting Started" screen.
THAT'S IT!!!
Now you have a Rogers firmware on wp 7004 version, the only thing you have to do is update the phone via ZUNE.
WAIT!!! it will only let you update freely until last Refresh update or first Tango update, after that, you have to do the disconnecting the internet trick several time to get all the remaining updated until 7.8... you will have to try the trick several time for each update.
DONT LOOSE FAITH!!!
keep thrying as many times as you need to, i did it and it is woth it!!!
and region or country has nothing to do with the updates once you have the Rogers firmware installed, i live in Peru and i could do it.
SAMSUNG FOCUS ROCKS!!!
Good luck!!!
I've a Samsung Focus SGH-i917 v.1.3 running official Mango 7720 AT&T ROM.
I want to flash MAGLDR so that I can flash other custom ROMs.
However, despite my phone being in download mode, I cannot flash MAGLDR.
The tool cannot get past the "Waiting for USB Connection...".
Could this be due to the ROM being locked?
If so, how do I roll back to 7004 so that I can install MAGLDR & then flash custom ROMs?
Please advise me accordingly.
Thanks!

Download MAGLDR, and the ROM of your choice (see the bottom of that thread for ROM choices)
Obtain the Samsung USB Drivers For Mobile (Google it, or search Samsung's website)
Turn off your device
Hold Volume Up, Camera, and Power until it says "Download Mode"
Connect it to your computer
Run the MAGLDR setup
Once the phone boots back up, turn it off, and hold Volume Down, Camera, and Power until it asks for a format.
Press Back
Connect your phone to your computer and let all drivers install
Run the ROM setup
Boot back into Format mode and press Start twice
Profit!

These roms bring your phone basically back to factory with os version 7004. Its useful if you have a focus in demo mode or just wanna downgrade to 7004 to do the chevron unlock and upgrade. But to answer youre question, in order for the program to see your phone, you have to put ur phone in download mode.
Turn off phone, hold camera, volume up, n power then connect to pc. Make sure you have samsung drivers installed. If you have windows vista or 7, if drivers are not there it will automatically install from windows update.

How to flash your focus !! said:To wrap it up :
1. Download Samsung USB Driver (Windows 7 can't find it for me) and install it.
http : //mirror.batteryboss.org/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
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 !!!
