Root Firmware Versions

howcome the boot and phone bits arent there anymore and just the pda?

All the files are in one download rather than separate ones (phone, pda, csc).

You need the "one package" option in Odin. Remember to remove the .img file if you don't want the German CSC.

Ahh already done it as one package and with all the files inside. Is it at all possible to make the new firmware files with the UK O2 CSC?
Also it seems to be working fine here and my APNs are still there and working.
 
I've now applied the update and all seems to be fine.. Only difference I've noticed so far is that the "Switchers" app is now colour!

boomtopper - doubt anyone's tried using a UK CSC and a German Firmware... are you volunteering? :-)

EDIT: Sephail, are you using brute force to check for updates, or are you passing CSC and Firmware versions over to the FUS server? If it's the latter, I'm just wondering happens if you pass an unofficial combo of UK CSC and firmware version. E.g I7500O2UIG5 CSC and I7500XXIH8 firmware.

I've just uploaded it here:

RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

Installed it just now, have noticed that the headphone volume seems louder...that could be just me...

Also, there is an extra icon in the applications list for teh internet.....its a direct link to o2active.de

Cheers

Again, just to confirm: if you don't want the O2 Germany-specific stuff, you shouldn't apply the CSC (Cache.img) file.

You can delete it from the .tar file using an application such as JZip (jZip - a free WinZip alternative) .

Would it be possible to flash on the original firmware with uk O2 csc using one package. Then from there use the new one and remove the cache.img and flash on the new one?
 
i find it annoying that samsungmobile.de are rapid in updating and supplying customers with firmware but samsungmobile.co.uk must be full of *******
 
Guys, thanks for your hard work in getting this, however, it looks like both links have been downloaded more than ten times. Any chance somebody could put it somewhere where more people can get at it, or torrent it?

Cheers!
 
brilliant , Im sooooo tempted to flash now from H6.
any downsides ? afaik there isnt (as long as dont use the CSC file)

did you delete the cache file?
if so which program did you use?
have you successfully flashed before?
you have enough drive space left on device (on board memory)
the path to the files are not too long or too deep
i did this without a hitch on windows 7 64 RTM, used jzip to delete the cache file
be aware jzip installs yahoo browser plugin so uninstall yahoo from add and remove

i used jzip too. I unziped the .tar file to then make a new .tar without cache file, is that correct?

EDIT: I just realized I can remove files directly from the .tar, so now worked like a charm

no its not correct

unzip the zip file to get the tar file
right click the tar file and click "open with" and find "jzip"

this should open jzip and you can see all the files in there.
highlight the cache file and delete.

do the flash
