Hi Guys,
I have a Samsung Omnia that won't boot anymore.
First I see the Omnia logo followed by the red vodafone screen. After that the phone just reboots again and again and again.
The phone was just standing on the table doing nothing, suddenly the phone went of and keeps rebooting.
Is there anything I can try to do to fix it ?
Tnx in advance
At least on this site yes...

There is a thread on this section called "Omnia official thread" perhaps you can ask there.
Remember this is an HTC ONLY FORUM so not too much support will be found
Anyway good luck,
Try here :
forum.gsmhosting.com
You'll find a lot of stuff .
If your phone is not absolutely dead , you might be able to revive it .
OK, thanks anyway !

Your phone is bricked. Search in gsmhosting forum for member ELCO- he can help you. Also somewhere saw cables for flashing i900 with NsPro.

Now you are a funny one, huh?
Anyways it doesn´t look too good. Seems you´ve crushed the bootloader, which is a very bad idea
Try to take out the accu for about 2 hours.
If still not even a single picture can bee seens, it´s a very bad sign.
- btw. does the loading picture/animation show up when trying to load?
- try starting Handy with download-mode (down)
- try starting Handy with CWM (Mode) (up)
I´d sugguest (re-)flashing a bootloader, but since you reported Odin doesn´t find a device...it still just doesn´t look to good...sorry mate
hi , thank you for replaying , ok in case i crashed the boot louder , do you think if i gave it to sumsong as its still under warranty they will find out ??

What did you try to flash with Odin ? ICS rom, stock ?
No idea about the warranty - theoritically you have no right to flash anything yourself using 3rd party software, but since oficial Kies uses similar methods, if you tried to flash stock ROM they might not find out.
But first, try the method proposed by DJ-Tumor, press volume down+home+power and see if it turns on into download mode.
He already said he can't boot into download mode.
(Now you are a funny one, huh?) May be Tumor really got a tumor in his brain.
You'll have to get a Jig and try to boot with it.
thank you for your replay , I tried usb jig and it's not working .. when i tried to change the system it was an official one wasn't custom .

thank you for replaying , I have tried to get into the download mode but the phone Doesn't turn on do you think if i crashed the boot loader , can i fix it somewhere or that's it i lost the phone ??
maybe you've selected the wrong PIT file.
Is your phone a 16 or a 32gb note ?
Hello everyone ! Two days ago I wanted to flash the stock firmware on my S6500D and the pc restarted when I was flashing the recovery.img I think..and now the phone shows only the Samsung logo ( but very very veeery low-quality resolution ) with some lines in right, how can I repair it..?
ye, it's a brick. I had the same problem when I bricked mine. At first it had corrupted graphics, after some minutes it didn't boot at all.
There's no way to reflash it..? Without replacing the motherboard , I mean..using the software side.
JTAG

man, try do self jtag, watch on youtube videos etc, its simply and not expensive and it can repair your phone. if it cant help, just go to mobile center for new board

i read jtag also working on all galaxy family devices. try it, try.
I could give the device to a repair service ( GSMobile for me ) and they could repair it, but I don't want to give money for this device because the screen is also broken and I think in 2 months I'll buy a S3 Mini ( I love S3, belive me ) and if I find a way with a small amount of money to repair the phone I will do it ! But this jig..I also used some JIG for bricked PS3 but it's not the same way.. and I don't know a lot of things about making one for my phone, if you have a tutorial I will do it, but after I get the S3 Mini I'll surely repair this phone, I want to continue developing and searching and helping the other Mini2 owners, it is my first Android phone and it means very much to me.
JIG is only meant to force the phone into download mode. If the JIG works, your device is not hard bricked... Otherwise, I mean, if it is hard bricked, service center will take care of it. JTAG != JIG
I'll try to JIG tomorow , I'm using this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604707 , TheWhisp, the recovery.img file wasn't flashed totally, I mean it was about 60%..but the boot.img / system.ext4 ( I Think it was like that ) / other files were flashed with succes.. maybe the JIG will do it for me !

I've tried the USBJig but the phone doesn't responds in any way, it still remains off..
This should be posted in Q n A not in Android Development.

I've tried all possible connections and sometimes the phones turns on ( I mean that the Samsung screen appears ) but sometimes nothing happen ( like when connecting PIN 4 to PIN 5 and this is the jig connection )

It's not working, if I enter in download mode by the buttons the screen shows only a white line, then I connect the jig and nothing happens, the screen remains the same..
Yesterday evening my phone was on the charger then it suddenly stopped and it is completely dead. It isn't showing any signs of life ever since, even if I charge it. It doesn't even show offline charging and I can't send it to Samsung as it's rooted so my warranty it VOID. It seems to me that it has Sudden Death Syndrome because it has been recently been switching off and now it's completely dead. What should I do? I'm pretty much screwed!

Well... I managed to just get it into offline charging. When I boot it up in normal mode it shows Samsung Galaxy S3 mini then after a few seconds the bottom lights flash for half a second and shut down. When I try to boot to recovery, model name then shut down. Yes it can just about make it into download mode.

If you get into download mode, go to sammobile en download the firmware for your phone and flash it with odin. if that worked, open stock recovery and do a fatory reset to make sure everything is back to stock... Then you can just hope it won't happen again.

I tried flashing stock recovery and ROM through Odin, it said pass but nothing actually seemed to fix and it still has the same problem that it shuts down after showing logo and when I boot to recovery it just shows TeamWin for a few seconds and shuts down so looks like I'm screwed and I have to use my BlackBerry :'(

Ok, can't help you, maybe search this forum for unbrick device. I know there are fixes that can be used with some bricks.

And I don't think Samsung will repair it as my warranty is void and I doubt if my parents would get me a new phone as this phone is only 3 months as well! And I have seen an unbrick thread and I tried it and it didn't work :'(
Well, I know how you feel. My charging port died once after I changed rom. Samsung asked me 200 for repair. Maybe you can give it a try and send him in... You never know Samsung loves you more than me..

Have you any news about the problem in your phone?
Mine (i8190 with one of the mclaws roms from previous week) also appeared in the morning shut down and there's no way of starting it. It does not even vibrate when power button pressed, as if the battery was completely empty.
Tried with another battery and checked that the original one had charge, but no luck. It does not start (normal, download or recovery, makes no difference).
Any ideas?

Well mine was dead for a day then I plugged it into the charger (this was after a day and I left it on charge all night and it wouldn't start) and I held the power button for 10 seconds while it was on the charger it showed offline charging so I let it charge for a bit and then I powered it on and it seemed to be bricked so I sent it to a phone repair shop (not Samsung as my warranty is void). If it doesn't show any signs of life then it's bricked. If it comes to life then it is also probably bricked. I tried flashing many recoveries, ROMs, kernels and params and nothing happened.
In the S III Mini General forum there are topics about getting your phone back to stock so that it is covered by warranty.

I tried to flash stock ROM and recovery but nothing actually worked!
1. Did you follow the instructions in detail?
2. What does "nothing actually worked!!" mean??
Maybe you need to work out what is the problem and why it is failing. Then you will be able to figure out if it is actually fixable, and if so how to fix it. "Trying everything" doesn't really work unless you make an effort to analyse the results you get every time you try something.
You could try posting in one of the threads about taking the phone back to stock. The people who posted them might be able to help you, they are more experienced at this sort of thing.

I tried those solutions and they didn't work.
Kid, can you read?
What did you try? What was the result?
"didn't work" isn't a result, it's you giving up. Without even trying to find out why it didn't work.

I read all instructions, and when I flashed it via Odin, nothing actually changed even with the params!
Hi..
Facing this problem with my phone..have tried a lot of googling but couldnt find anything..was just able to install the drivers for qualcomm msm..phone is not going beyond this screen after starting..any help is appreciated..
Well, that's less bad than what happened to *my* T899M... Have you tried hitting the Windows button to start recovery, as the screen suggests? Alternatively, you may be able to do a boot-time hard reset (the kind done by holding some buttons - I forget which ones, but it's documented online - while turning the phone on) since you were able to get as far as the Windows bootloader.
Without knowing more about what in particular has died, I can't really help.
hitting windows button doesnt do anything. although i was able to enter into something by holding the vol up+ power..but dunno what to do after that..
hard reset doesnt work either..im not able to reach the "exclamation" screen.the phone just vibrates and goes looping the windows screen..
any suggestions please..?? seems like a paper weight in the making..

First : start explaining when this happend ?
did you update the phone with the Cortana alpha firmware ? ( the last update on preview for developers)
if you did that then you can sent your phone back because there is no rom for your phone , only repair center can help you with that.
