A new Samsung Omnia 7 firmware dated April 2011 and labeled I8700XXKD1 has just been leaked today. I unfortunately don’t have time to flash it right now to find out if there’s anything new compared to the previous XKC1 firmware and the recent update that has been pushed out to the device earlier this week.
I will have to flash it later which means going back to NoDo then re-update my phone to Mango Beta 2. Kinda annoying but if you guys want me to do it leave me a comment below and I’ll try to take some time tonight to perform the test.

UPDATE: As stated in the comments below there’s currently no way to flash the Binary (bin) part of firmware which is apparently unsigned and can’t be uploaded to a retail devices (but should work on OEM/Engineering samples). But to be sure of this can you guys who get the same error as me tell me if you are running NoDo or Mango please?
