¾ Please remove the Samsung i730 from the sync cradle and reconnect it.  
¾ Re-establish the ActiveSync connection between the Samsung i730  
device and PC using the USB sync cradle or optional USB sync cable.

privileges needed to upgrade the device.” Please contact your IT or systems

¾ Verify the user account has Local Administrator Privileges.  
¾ Upgrade the user account to a Local Administrator or log in using a  
different user account and then re-launch the Verizon Wireless Windows  
Mobile Update Utility.  
4) The Update Utility is unable to upgrade the phone portion of your device.  
Symptoms include the utility not progressing beyond 75% or your device reports  
in Version Information that your Phone software version that is not  
“S:i730.2.6V.ZB21”.  
¾ Please check to ensure that you do not have an older version of the  
Samsung MCCI drivers installed on your PC as these will interfere with the  
Update Utility. Uninstall these drivers and reboot your computer.  
o Customers may have this driver installed on their PC if they have  
previously performed the Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade for either  
the Samsung i600 or Samsung i700.  
¾ If you are running a personal firewall, you may need to disable it while  
performing the device upgrade.  
¾ If possible, attempt the upgrade on another qualified PC.  
5) I previously attempted the upgrade and was unable to complete it. Now when  
I try to upgrade it again, it says my device is not qualified for the upgrade. How  
do I attempt to perform the upgrade again in order to upgrade the phone portion  
of my device?
