Samsung BlackJack Updates OS


Finally, the original gets an OS updateHere’s a treat for Samsung BlackJack owners. If you feel that you’re a bit left out with all the Mobile Windows 6.0 smartphones out in the market, Samsung has finally decided to release an update for your mobile device. The original ROM and instructions on how to update the OS of your BlackJack phone can be found at the following link. A word of caution though, back-up all your data as the process will complete erase all the contents on your phone. The entire process will take some time too so better have everything prepared to make it as fast and smooth as possible.

This time around, Vista users are the ones left out as the update only works with Windows 2000 and XP. So, if you want to spruce up your relatively old Windows Mobile 5.0 running device, follow the link and install the update now.

DISCLAIMER: The update is meant for US customers which is why you’ll notice that the site refers to the model number of the BlackJack as i607 (the local version is i600), but I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t work with phones purchased in other countries. The only way this restriction will occur if they limited the update to work with serial numbers corrsponding to units sold in the US. To be on the safe side, try to get in touch with the local Samsung Service Center to get confirmation if this update will indeed work with locally distributed units.

The update doesn’t work on “open” phones, it is only intended for AT

Have you tried it? What happens when you try to install it on a non-AT

When I try to install it I see the AT and T logo flash and then it says goodbye and turns off, what should I do now?

What happens when you try to turn it on again?
