[Guide] How to update/change the ROM

Modified from my instructions posted in the wiki.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Omnia_7#Updating.2FChanging_the_ROM
Updating/Changing the ROM
Before continuing with any of the following processes, you should note that (at present) there is no way to back up your user data. Things such as your contacts and emails can be re-downloaded from your phone since they are stored on remote servers. Multimedia items which have been synced with Zune to your PC can also manually be transferred back to your phone. However, things such as personalisation settings, SMS and MMS are lost. Programs can, of course, be re-downloaded from the Marktetplace - but this, again, is a manual process.
This process may also help your recover a "bricked"device - or rather one which does not successfully boot up into Windows Phone fully.
Hard Reset / Full Format
You may wish to hard reset the phone if you are experiencing software errors which are not fixed after a soft reset (pulling the battery out) or if you wish to clear the phone (i.e. you've just bought the phone second hand or are selling the phone).
To hard Reset your Omnia 7 without booting into Windows Phone 7, you have to:
Turn off the phone.
Turn on the phone, holding the Power + Volume DOWN + Camera buttons
Hit home button (Start) twice to begin.
Update/Change the ROM
Disclaimer:You should note that this process may void your warranty! Neither I nor xda will be held responsible for any damage caused, or refusal of warranty, by following this guide.
Before you can update your ROM you'll need to see if you can access the phone's Download Mode.
Accessing Download Mode
To update your ROM software, you will need to be able to access the phone's download mode.
Turn off the phone
Turn on the phone, holding down the Power + Volume UP + Camera buttons simultaneously.
When the phone turns on, release the power button.
A yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and a "download mode” message should appear.
If you are successful in this then you can continue with the flash. If you are unable to access download mode, then your phone has a faulty(?) bootloader. Follow the instructions in this forum post.
Download your ROM and flash tools
To flash the new ROM you will need:
Your new ROM.
There are currently three ROMs available though the only difference is their locale (which you can change later in the settings). The 8700XXJK1 ## 2010 November CSC_Cetus_Europe_I8700XENJK1 can be found here. The ROM package is compressed in .rar format, the password is samfirmware.com
Edit: A nice sticky thread now exists with loads of ROMs available here
Samsung Mobile USB Drivers v5.2
Can be found here
Samsung WP7 Flash Program
Can be found here
Now we're ready to flash!
Turn off your phone and disconnect it from the PC
Unrar the downloaded ROM package and install the Samsung USB drivers
Boot the phone into download mode (or insert your jig)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now connect the phone to your PC. Windows should recognise your device and install the drivers (it may check Windows Update first, you can either skip this or just let it be).
Open the WP7 flash program. If you are prompted with an md5 error, don't worry! You should see now an Active COM port (green) in the program.
Drag and drop the ROM files (all four) into the program, a small box will pop up and check the files. It will disappear.
Click start and the flash process begins!
DO NOT interrupt this process. Keep the phone and PC connected throughout. After 10-15mins the phone will reboot and you'll have your fresh new ROM.
Some things to note:
Between steps 7 and 8 everything should go automatically.
After the phone reboots for the fist time, a screen with a phone and a computer with an arrow and a red cross over the arrow will appear - this is OK!
There may be some delay between the phone asking for its new configuration settings and the flash program saying the flash is complete (a progress bar states it is still "Rebuilding"). It may be wise to just allow that progress bar to complete before inserting the new settings.
Depending upon what ROM you flash, you will find that your language and locale are probably not correct. You will need to change these in "Settings" for things such as Marketplace to work correctly.
If the Flash program does not recognise your device, try a different USB port. If that still doesn't work, try starting the program first and then plug in your phone.

Very good and very detailed... super job dude!
One quick question if i may... the screenshots show Vista OS i believe? Any idea if this will work on XP at all?
Thanks in advance

Yep, I think it works on Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP3, Vista and 7 - though I've only tested it on Win 7.
Let us know, if it doesn't!
Casey

i cant seem to extract the file. its failing

The updater app didn't seem to recognise the phone at first try, y had to reconnect it several times until everything went fine
Thanks, updated!

Update successful ^^
Thanks for the guide !
Omnia 7 French locked to ORANGE

Flashing the ROM always seemed quite complicated to me. But after going thorugh the guide and flashing my phone successfully I have to say it actually quite easy.
Thanks for the guide.

Flashing is quick and easy with this guide, very n00b friendly.

I have a problem :S ...
i want to update my Omnia 7 and i get this...
I don't know why ... it was green...com 3
EDIT: I guess that i must connect USB cable to back of my PC ... in front USB just disconnecting device.

Yeah that's strange but I used to have the same problem when flashing ROMs to my HTC HD2, some of the USB ports worked and some didn't.
Glad you managed to fix it though!

had the same issue...
- first i had to use jig for downloadmode (with the 3 button "trick" i got only the restore thing)
- i plugged the phone to computer...nothing happens (driver was installed before and i have rebooted)
- i unplugged the phone and used another usb port
-> driver where installed, i thought all is fine
- i started "WP7 flash program" but the program didnt see the phone, i checked device manager and all looked fine
- i unplugged the phone and plugged it in at the usb port i used first (when the phone was in restore mode)
- wp7 flash program found my phone
- flashed and all was fine
btw had a t-mobile (de) branded one and didnt get the 7008 update...now i have it in no time
€dith
i think marketplace and zune (on the phone) are now much more stable#
@dith 2:
marketplace ist much much much more stable compared to my original image and i had bad lags, now...no lags.
I dont know if the 7008 update makes this all or just the new firmware

EDIT. It works!

Is it possible to reverse this incase you need to return your phone for repair etc ?

Download Mode
When I try to put my Omnia 7 into download mode using the 3 buttons I get a screen showing a phone to the left with a zig zag arrow to a laptop on the right. Is this an alternative download mode screen or is it the "bad" downloader??

[Q] interesting brick?

My phone was acting a bit erratic (running CM7 with Glitch v12).. I tried to Odin 1 click it back and start from scratch and now I get this...

- I can get Odin One click to see the cappy & gets stuck on:
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Anyone have a clue how to fix?
Please help. I miss my cappy. Thanks.

That is definitely download mode if it's pulling up on odin. I would give different ports and a different computer a try this issue has happened to me before sometimes you have to get it into dl mode before or after you start odin.
Hope this helps!

this has been covered in pretty much every thread that involves odin in any way...
reboot pc, swap usb ports to one in the back, if already in the back swaitch to another. right click on odin run as admin BEFORE you plug the phone in.
if you still get the issue try another usb cable, a different pc, or use heimdall instead of odin.

tried on 3 PCs on different ports. 2 different USB cables and both Odin & Heimdall.
no avail.

Did you take your SIM card out? I know some people say it doesn't matter, but my phone will not flash with the SIM card in.

Try Heimdall on a Linux machine.

Bricked
Hello, I've installed Odin one click and i tried to start Odin. Once i started it, my captivate was going fine until it suddenly stopped like 2 minutes later. The screen turned read. I tried this 5 times and it kept doing the same thing, except it was red, green, and pink screens. Now my phone won't turn on. I think it's bricked, but i can still get on download mode. Can anyone please help me?
I'm sorry if i sound like a really big noob

This advice should help you out. I've saw the multi color thing when I didn't have my USB cable plugged into a port on the back of myPC.

1. Your phone is not hard bricked, yet. Don't panic. Read more and do as people are suggesting you.
2. Like studacris suggested, try other PCs, another USB cable etc. And Make sure to use the USB port which is directly on motherboard (not using some sort of USB extension or hub). Try another USB cable. Make sure it is in good contact with Phone as well as PC.
3. Download the Odin 1-click again to make sure you dont have the corrupt file.

thanks, i tried to do it on a mac and pc and it still wont work. My mac wont even recognize my phone. I left it overnight and i think the battery is drained. I dont think it's charging too. Is there an easier solution, or should I just send it back to atnt?

dude thank you so much. I've really thought it was bricked but the next morning i decided to try one last time, AND IT WORKED!!! you're a life saver

Tried linux over the weekend. Again, I can see the cappy, but no files get pushed.
My main concern is the grey box on the screen in DL mode.

Dude, that's the same HP laptop I have, come to think of it that's the same phone I have too. I call dopelganger.
Anyway on a serious note, I have always used the SATA/USB port one back from the USB port you had it plugged in to, and I have never had a problem during while flashing. Hope it helps.

Yes, I always remove Sim Card & External Memory when flashing.

just flash another rom man .u just wiped your entire system .There is nothing in it now flash a stock rom via ODIN !!

Can't. If i can i won't be asking it here. Like i said my phone can't connect to my pc. Plus the usb utilities option in Setting/wireless connection didn't do sh!t. Its "Not" a faulty micro usb port, coz its charging. So i must be missing the "usb driver installer" from within the phone.
So can anybody plsz upload the usb driver from thier phone for me?? That'd be much appreciate. Plz help me out here. I use that function everyday at my work. So its crucial to get that usb/pc connection feature. Plzzz....
Regards,
Sdojoin

First of all, formatting system has nothing to do with USB-PC connection.
Your USB cable is f. up, change it and see if works.
Flash a custom rom that u have on SD card(If u have one), untill you buy a new cable.

The cable f up?? But its charging though.. How come it won't connect to my pc?? I got 3 cable & all of them works fine with my X-Play. Erm.. I'm really confused bout this problem. Meh...:banghead:

Dude If you have a flash able ROM then just take out the memory card from the phone put it in card reader, connect with PC, copy ROM zip file into the card.
Put back card into the phone, boot into cwm recovery, flash the ROM and u will get the working ace again.

Thats not the problem as its still working. The problem is "i want my ace to be able to connect to my pc via usb" but "can't". So... Erm.. This's really a f**ked up situation. Aaarrggghh!!!!!:banghead:

Try wipe cache/factory reset, cache partition and run nandroid backup. It will solve the problem.

just some (hopefully) stupid sidenotes:
you have activated Mass storage in phone, after connecting to PC, did you?
and you pluged it into a USB slot and didnt smash it into some other slot?
ou do have a SD card IN!!!!! the device? and its "seen" by the device?
you DO NOT try to access an extX partition with windows?
your PC and your Phone is turned on, both running without problems and working powersupply?
you flashed the correct ROM for our device? S5830 not S583Xx?
you DO have a fat partition on your SD card?
most questions are just stupid, but you would be surprised what you get to hear at helpdesk hotlines XD

I've tried every posible option that i can think of & find through all over the web but none solve it. Mybe it got to be a problem with the micro usb port. Mybe i'll just take it for a replace & see if it fix the problem.
Anyway, thanks guys for all ur comment, opinion, suggestion & jokes. It really does help me learn bout this phone a bit more.
Regards,
Sdojoin

can you acess download mode? if yes then flash a rom via odin (odin flshable packages contain system)
if not, then i dunno.

Yeah, but the odin won't detect the phone. Its probably micro usb port problem. Imma take it to a repair & see how it goes.
Regards,
Sdojoin

Get Samsung USB drivers from here.
I use these drivers for my phone. and check whether your phone is detected by linux or not because windows sucks when it comes to detect hardware.
Moreover if you are able to charge your phone via usb then neither your mini usb port is damaged nor data cable.
use this command in linux terminal to detect all the devices attached to the usb
command is: lsusb.
hope this will help.

A'ight. I giv it a shot. Fyi, i already got the same driver. Mybe i'll try that command. Thanks for hint.
Regards,
Sdojoin

1st of all ... in recovery u can only acess the sd card its in mount / mount usb storage
2nd to flash stock rom you'll need to put it in download mode ( Search )

Dude i know all of that & thats not my problem is. Meh...:banghead:

[Q] GT-P1000 bricked after wrong bootloader patch

Hi !
I have a european GSM Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) with Gingerbread and it seems that I just bricked it... Let me explain :
- I have a Mac, so I rooted it using adb and the Terminal, following the DooMLoRD's method. This worked fine.
- I applied the bootloader patch found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
(to make it short : the (french) tutorial I followed did not say that it wasn't suppose to work on Gingerbread, so I did it...and it failed).
- But at the moment the Tab was still working ! It was showing a "rainbow" screen before boot and was recognized by my computer as" 7 CDCs" which was totally useless. Here is the rainbow screen :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But it was able to boot. I found someone with the same problem in the bootloader patch thread and people answered him to flash it with Odin. So I installed VirtualBox and succeded to use Odin (1.7).
- The Galaxy Tab in Download Mode wasn't recognized by Odin at all, although I installed Samsung's drivers. Heimdall was able to install the drivers for the Tab but the .pit file download failed. So I did nothing wrong with Odin or Heimdall since I did nothing at all.
- And yesterday, the Tab was plugged in the computer, in Download Mode, and it switched off definitely. When I plug it in using the USB charger, this image blink slowly :
It can't boot in any mode. I tried pushing the power button for 30+ seconds, tried Power + Volume Up, Power + Volume Down, it doesn't work. I let it plugged in the whole night to see if it's not a "coma brick" (like said on the "unbrick the GTab thread", it keeps blinking. Trying to boot while plugged in doesn't work and it's not recognized by the computer. I haven't found any answer to this precise problem on the forum so I finally decided to ask.
Here are my questions :
- what is happening (so that it doesn't happen again) ?
- can I fix it and how ?
Thank you in advance
PS : my english may not be perfect, sorry. I'm french and I do my best

Your picture show the tab in another download mode.
You can still flash it with heimdall
Follow my signature to new overcome link.
You only need the gb stock save v5
You can unpack the Rom and find all the necessary files.

Thank you for your answer ! Sadly my Tab isn't recognized by the computer (Heimdall can't detect any device in download mode). The image only show when it's plugged in the wall.
EDIT : there is something new ! Now the Tab stopped blinking and show the image I posted before when I plug it in the wall. I can unplug it, the image stay, so I guess it lauches a kind of download mode... However Heimdall on Mac still can't find it. I need to try with a PC.
EDIT 2 : it blinks again. Wut.

Hey. I got the same problem as you thanks to some user here named "cx5" and his stupid misleading instructions that got my tab bricked.
Anyway, i finally found a awesome application that managed to unbrick my tab. Yeah it's ALIVE!! back again Not sure if this will work on your tab but IF you are interested and decided to take a risk then go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 and download OneClickUnbrick then connect your Tab to your PC using USB. and leave it there and wait for 20 Minutes it will turn on during that time and quickly click unbrick button on the application then select List All Devices then click the Samsung USB port that you connected your tab at, Wait awhile for installing Driver, after installing completed click unbrick button again. let me know if this works for you too.

Thank you !

Hmm.. Actually, i meant i am stuck in Phone ! Computer screen and can't do anything about it which is same as you. i am not sure how do fix this rainbow screen you're getting. i guess wait for priyana reply. since he is experienced with galaxy tabs. the method above is to fix soft bricked.

You are right that rainbow screen is caused by boot loader patch.
Just use the gbstock safe from overcome. It has GB bootloader.
Follow my signature for the link.
There is the guide in pdf but for Odin.
If you can get it to work with Odin, jump to page 7 of the guide,
And flash according to the picture.
In completion it will reboot.
I did write about using heimdall command line somewhere.
Just search the forum.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

Thank you again !
So :
- the Tab is booting again but show strange lines when it boots
- the computer don't see it : Odin don't work, Heimdall seems to fail when trying to flash a zImage, and heimdall-frontend fail at downloading .pit file
Any help ?

I don't know if virtual box work.
In my experience it never works for me.
Try get a fresh PC.
Btw, you can try boot to safe mode (windows) and remove the USB driver for the tab.
And reinstall the driver from GB stock safe.
BTW also, pit file doesn't matter, I think. Boot loader is boot.bin and Sbl.bin
They both can be flashed via heimdall without pit file, you care to try?
But this is the most dangerous operation. Of all flashing, flashing bootloader is one that will kill a tab, as you have found yourself by patching a GB boot loader.
I guess if nothing works, you try heimdall command file with the boot loader part.

Ok, I'll try with Heimdall command line. Thank you ! I'll give some news later, if that worked or not.
EDIT : So, first I tried to flash the GB Stock rom with command line. It worked fine, but it didn't fix my problem. Since there was nothing else to do, I flashed the booloader files of the GB stock rom (with heimdall command line, again) and I don't know what I have done wrong, but it failed and the Tab looks dead. Doesn't boot, even after a night plugged in the wall. I guess there's nothing I can do, now ?

Sorry to hear that.
I don't know why it got to this stage.
Can you do the oneclickunbrick again?
Plug to PC for at least 20min and see if it comes alive like before?

No it doesn't work. I think I did something wrong and only flashed the primary bootloader... I tried plugging it to the PC but it doesn't work anymore. I think it's over maybe some people I know will be able to help me doing hard stuff to fix it, I hope.

just out of curiosity,
what command was it that you issued to flash the bootloaders?

Same problem I have now the blinking while charging in the main supply. After trying some restocking on my GT-p1000 and always fail using Odin and other guides, now I can't open my tab but when I plug it in the main charger it shows warning link between phone and computer. Then afterwards, after I left it charging for 30mins. My tab now just blinking while the charger is on. Its just keep on blinking with warning link phone and computer showing.
Any same problems? What should I do. I waited and charged it for almost 4 hours, still its blinking.

Try OneClickUnbrick

I tried now OneClick and then after that my tab stuck in the samsung logo and can't turn off via button. Computer can recognize the tablet but it is not in the download mode.
~Now I turned it off. Charging it to full. Hopefully after charging it Odin will now work. Cause it always fail in movinand flash. I followed all the instruction using overcome and safe flash.

now I can access download mode but odin can't recognize the tab.

I am out of idea.
The most recent case I read of this, was fixed by removing and reinstalling the USB driver for the samsung device.
I personally use linux. And heimdall seems to always able to reach my tab.
I suspect the OneClickUnbrick's heimdall driver (zadig) is obscuring your tab from Odin.
Reinstall the USB driver again

[HELP] Phone is stuck at Linux Penguin Logo ( Bootloader, Recovery Not Responding)

Good Morning Guys,
I have Redmi 4X 64GB version. The phone has unlocked bootloader and was running on Havoc OS V2.5 and the phone was rooted.
About a week ago the phone is suddenly got into weird state. And i am unable to figure out what to do.
The phone is gotten into Linux Penguin Logo. I am attaching an image with that problem. And also phone in not responding to any physical power+volume button integration. Any combination just takes me to this Penguin Screen. Here are some thing i have already tried to do but not working at all. Although when i connect this device to computer with this Penguin Logo screen it does get detected as fastboot device but so far that isn't helping.
Some tricks that i have already tried but not working:-
1. I have booted my phone into edl mode and installed fastboot rom via miflash tool, and it is successfully installed but after pressing power+volume button it is the same screen as Penguin Logo. [so Not Working]
2. I have opened the phone disconnect the battery and tried some combinations but still no luck.
3. Used every combination with power button as well as connected to pc and used fastboot commands but not working out.
4. TWRP installation get failed. ( will attach the preview).
So, Please anyone has any clue or anyone has ever face this same problem please reach out to me. Any Honect answer will work.
Sorry i am new at writing thread. So if any mistake i am sorry.

If you still have custom recovery installed then try flashing latest firmware.
i've found this similar having issue video on youtube of Redmi 3S(Appears to be) and how it got solved, please check it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMZ08qQrqnc
i am not sure if those files are limited to Redmi 3S or can be use on other xiaomi devices but it gives some sort of idea what you should try. and video language i don't understand and maybe you understand maybe not but should be understandable by watching video.

Thanks for replying. But that is the problem i am unable to reach anywhere not bootloader nor recovery. The phone is just showing the linux penguin logo whether you use power and volume combination or you do the same via connecting to pc.

I think he has that download link in description. But that link requires password for opening .rar file. And i do not trust that guy. That file may have some bloatware or virus or something. If you find same file that he has please share that file over here so that i can use it.
Thanks.

Did you solve the problem? I'm stuck in it and after trying all the things (including deciphering that rar file very doubtful, which I did not achieve) I'm empty of ideas

try to put the phone in edl mode...open the phone case and disconnect the battery wire..if u have tweezer then try touching it to testpoints and then plug the usb cable at the same time...a driver will install on ur computer named (qdloader9008)....open miflash tool then try flashing it via the tool...

Time to use Device as Paper Weight

Sorry Bro, Nothing is working at all. I mean i am IT Engineer and i have tried all things but still no luck. So, my thinking is the boot loader is too much damaged so there is nothing that can be written on it, no TWRP or no any data partition, it's all out of option. I have started using the phone as Paper Weight.
I am still hoping that someone can solve this problem and get back to me. Fingers Crossed
Thank You.

Not Working, Already tried:

Sorry Bros, Already tried all things that you have mentioned in the post and its not working at all. If somehow we can change the memory storage chip on the phone that contains the bootloader then the phone can come back to its normal form.

Try to turn fastboot if you turn this on then you are on good situation . Boot TWRP and try installing rom again ( with wiping data, cache,vendor,system,dalvik,and might internal storage)

Your problem solved or still u r stuck?

To answer your question, yeah i got it done. Actually where i live, there is repair shop guy that i know he got it done for just 500rs. I don't know how he do that.

Here is my own tested solution for you !
In my case, when i try to install boot logo on Redmi 5 then this happened.
And yet last . i find the great solution by Miassistant
.1. Download Miassistant on PC
2. Download ADB Driver for your Pc
3. Download (Recovery Rom) not Fastboot Rom
5. press volume up + Power for (Miassistant mode)
6. Flash from Miassistant

Thanks for the solution. My device is already fixed, but i this solution can work. If something like this happens in future we can try this out. But i really wanna know what causes this thing to be happened?

Sorry if this is not the place for post this, but I read a lot of cases that people have their phones stuck in Linux Icon, after a fail installing a ROM, this same case happened to me in a Xiaomi Mi 5 S Plus, one of the devices of Xiaomi, with less support because there were not to much units manufactered.
In mi case, after try to put the device in the fastboot mode, that was impossible I had to put the MI5 s Plus in EDL mode, using the 2 test points pins in the motherboard, and using Miflash for instal a fastboot rom.
I ll explain the steps;
A- Install MiFlash, in your computer, with all the drivers
B-Download a stable Fastboot ROM for your device, you can find it easily in the forums. ( In my case was the "natrium_global_images_V10.2.4.0.OBGMIXM_20190424.0000.00_8.0_global_07f157530a" with MIUI 10 for the Xiaomi MI5 S Plus (natrium) )
C- Put your device in EDL mode
Normally if you are stuck in the linux mode, this is your only solution for put the device in EDL mode, use the 2 test points in the motherboard of the phone.
Check in internet, where are located the test pins in your device, is different for every model. ( I attached a image of the 2 test points in Mi 5 S Plus)

}
For put the device in EDL mode:
1- Disassemble the back cover of your phone
2- Disconect the battery
3- Connect the usb cable to the phone, but not connect yet to the computer
4-Use something metallic, like a clip, wire, or tweezers, and touch the 2 Test points at the same time in the motherboard and while you re touching this 2 points connect the USB to the computer
5-You ll hear the sound in the computer that recognizes a new device conected, after that you can remove the clip or wire from touching the 2 points in the board of the phone
6-Open Miflash and have to appear a device connected like COM...., If don´t appear , you can make the process again (there is no problem if you make the steps with the MIflash open)
7- Select the option Flash all (clean all) in Miflash for install the fastboot rom
8- If some error appears during the installation, check the fastboot rom, I ll try 2 or 3 differents versions before one that was completely installed without error
9- If the installation is correct, your phone will be restart, and take some minutes for the first boot after the installation.
In my case, with this device and other Xiaomi devices, to put the phone in EDL mode, and install a stable official fastboot rom, was the only solution for this kind of software problems, I hope this post help someone
