[Q] bricked phone but can access download mode - Omnia 7 General

1) It started black screen when I was upgrading to Mango with Zune.
When restart phone and the phone could not boot up ,just into black screen.
2)The phone can enter into Download Mode(Vol up + Camera + Power).
Even I tried to flash I8700XENJK1 with Downloader 7.03, everything looks good , processing bar, success message. The only things was when finished flashing, the phone restarted and booted up into black screen and nothing could be done then.(Downloader 7.14 also tried)
3)trying Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2.exe which runs well and no error but when came to restart phone, it still went into black screen.
4)In the black screen, I can not access Download Mode except putting out of the battery and put in again which probably means power is on in black screen.
I am not sure which problem causes this, Flash, CPU or other things. Please help me out of these troubles.Thanks.

How long did you leave it out of interest?
Mine sat at a black screen when rebooting for a good 5 minutes or so...

I think when I used the Downloader 7.03 tools, there was a message of waiting for several minutes after flashing.
Beside I wait more than 10 minutes, and nothing changed.
Thanks anyway

Sorry dude, hope you get it sorted though!

Hoping for someone can help me.

When I went RTM from NoDo, I got a black screen that seriously was there for like half an hour..I put it down to my laptop being like 7 years old and nearly dead, and just left it alone, done nothing else on it and it eventually finished the update.
When I flashed on my mates computer back to NoDo, it was the quikest thing I had ever seen - updated back to mango and the black screen was there for like a minute.
The problem is, when you pulled it the first time, you really should have left it, I would have for at least an hour. I hope you haven't completely bricked your phone

Shadow Problem need help

I am having a problem with the Erofich 6.1 rom.
I was having problems with this rom cause the "Airplane," Mode would toggle off and on and I wouldnt be able to call out...heck I couldnt even see the contacts anymore. So I came home got on and wrote down the problem, someone said to reupload the rom to the phone and I was in the process of doing that when I had to go to the restroom . Well thinking it would just go according to play I went and when I came back I saw my phone was still in the white screen and my computer said
" Get new updated rom"
Then I had to exit out and since it was still in the white screen I just decided well crap let me put on a different rom so I put on the "Clean dev 1.1" well it went to 40% and said an error , my phone restarted in the 3 colored state so i tried to get it back to the white screen....did it again but this time it said "Image corrupt," Restarted my phone and now it just freezes on the "Windows Mobile Beta 1.1" screen and goes nowhere .
That is my predicament and I need help.
I have already tried to hard reset and it does nothing and I cant get the phone to the white screen to upload a new rom because active sync wont find the phone, I have almost given up hope but decided to ask at here as a last ditch hope that someone can help me .....Thanks.

Remove battery, than put it back. Restart phone into bootloader mode(tri collors screen; camera button+power button) connect usb cabel into a phone and run official T-Mobile rom update.

Stuck on "Stick Together" screen for no apparent reason

This is odd. I'm running a stock TMOUS ROM, haven't done anything out of the ordinary, and my phone froze up (which happens several times a day) so I unplugged the battery to reset and now I'm stuck at the "Stick together" screen.
All other cases of this that I've seen are from people's unsuccessful attempts at flashing a new ROM, but I'm running the stock T-mobile rom that I've been running for 2 months.
Please help. Id rather leave hard resetting as a later resort, since I dont really want to reinstall my apps and reset all of my tweaks, but if it comes to that so be it.
Oh, and the only thing different that I did was install the new bing maps mobile app that came out this morning. I did that several hours before the freeze...
Update:
I got impatient and hardreset despite my reservations to do so, and it's booting up now.
Well there's clearly no better time to flash a new rom than now... Off to the drawing board.
Take the battery out and make sure the pins are not bent, usually this is what happens when they are, the phone keeps rebooting itself but never fully starts. Gets to a tmo logo and restarts.
Edit: glad it works now, on my old one i had this problem and it was due to that...
mine did that once, took the batt out like twice more....then i just left it for like 15 mmin and it booted up
Can someone tell me if the 3 pins on HD2 for the battery are all aligned up horizontally or is 1 higher thn 2 and 3 is way up there?
Kind of like --- or _ -

I did hard reset and still stuck on stick together, and my pisn don't appear bent.

3-4 weeks. It was working fine and now it just shows the stick together and not the rgd at the bottom riight. I can get to the HSPL boot loader, but I don't think I have installed any programs the last week or so. I guess I could try task 29 etc, but it seems kind of strange i would have the problem all of a sudden.

Stick together screen stuck!

Hi,
I bought HTC HD2 TMOBILE from ebay and got it delivered yesterday. When i checked the phone it was working fine and it was a locked piece. Today morning i got the unlock code and the phone started working fine. I was just going through the features and checked the setting and stuff. Suddenly in 15-20 mins the phone restarted itself to the white pink screen of stick together. I thought its normal and gave it like 10-15mins to boot. Nothing happened. Had to take off the battery and tried booting it n still no response. I did a hard reset. Still the white n pink screen forced me to see the lame stick together msg. after a few resets the phones booted up and gave me the windows first time usage screen. I set it up and then bam! again it restarted to the stick together screen. i noticed tht it doesnt even shows the rom etc etc info on tht screen like it used to the first time.
Steps i have already tried...and none worked
1) hard reset
2) soft reset
3) reset with no sim mem card
4) flash tmobile latest rom from their own website ( tht screwed things even more as update failed at 8% and then the stick together screen disappeared and SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED screen poped up )
5) Tried the HSPL3 to changed it to 2.08 HSPL ( tht got the stick together screen and nothing else )
6) flashed custom rom ( after multiple attempts it allowed me to complete update and after successful update the stick together screen appeared )
7) now i have reverted back to 2.08 thru hspl3. got back the stick together screen.
What can be done and why did this happen when i was just checking the settings?
IMPORTANTLY how can i fix this...
Check the battery contacts. My friend had a similar thing where only the wirth boot screen showed and it ended up being the battery contacts.

This is a very common occurence on this phone...the little gold pins get bent easily and the constant rebooting is one of the main symptoms when that happens.
hmmmmmmmmmm i will try tht now... was keeping myself away from it as it has already eaten up half of my only holiday in this week...
you are a genius
my girlfriend thought she bricked her phone cuz it was stuck on the stick together screen......see was about to try to flash thr original stock rom when i happened upon this post and it saved us alot of time ......so i just want to say thank you so much

Pulling the battery for 10-30 secs and then boot seems to be the universal problem solver for WP7 phones.

my phone was delivered without the battery inserted, it it was out for like a couple of days. Still gets stuck at the "LG" screen...

Then return it as faulty as it should load unless borked somehow.
/J
Yes i Will return it on monday unless someone knows a way to restore it.
It's possible to start it in 3 modes.
1. Hold down the volume buttons + camera + power button. It then sais cold boot and then nothing more.
2. Vol down + camera + power. Then it sais emergency download, and my computer finds it
3. Camera + power. Shows a phone, cord and computer.
I tried the lg phone support tool and it sais the phone already are up to date.
Isn't there a way to load the windows phone 7 software onto the phone somehow?
Would really like to do it so I won't have to return it. I bought it of eBay, it is a customer return, so guess the guy before me tried messing with it to update it. And the company that sold it to me did not check if it was functioning before selling it to me..

You could of course flash the phone with new firmware and see if it fixes the problem, sounds like someone managed to mess up with your set.
There are some information around here how to flash the phone if you feel up for it.
/J
Ok but do u think The firmware is The problem? The LG tool showed that it was up to date, isn't it just the windows phone 7 software that is missing? I am not sure, but wouldn't the phone not show the lg logo if the firmware was bad?
A reward of € 10 will be given to the person helping me with this, and makes it work as supposed to.

You could probably try a different version of the OS depending on what you have now (I bet you wrote what version you had, I just missed it).
There are a few threads about that under the WP7 hack and dev. And as far as the firmware goes it's hard to know if it's actually ok just because it loads to the logo, I don't know where in the boot sequence the logo appears etc. there could be problems with the firmware too.
My first step would be to see if it's possible to get a new version of the OS in and if not, I'd try some new firmware.
And if nothing works return it as faulty.

I just turn it off, and leave it for a night
Next day, all the things are ok

Lg optimus e900 start issue
Hi,
I have the same issue, I can't restart my phone.
I can see only the logo and the LG caption.
Pls help,
Laszlo
I've got almost the same problem
I just bought this phone via local site, several days ago i'm so much happy with its smoothness but 2 days ago this problem appear, i spent several hours just to find it hanging on LG logo, i've waited for hour to hour just to see nothing happened that time. I left it for bed, and the next day the phone back to normal. But then, at least the device hanging 3 times a day, its just restarting itself and it seems the phone is unable to boot itself to the homescreen. Need help! I've done many way, from restoring, cold boot, softreset, upgrade(when it comes normal) etc but all don't work till now.
Unfortunately, this product doesn't release officially in my country, so i guess i won't be able to get replacement unit. I became so desperate cause i often use it, i need to get this phone back to normal, soon! Thankyou and sorry for my bad english

Processor sound burn out, stick phone in freezer for 20 mins and try to reflash, if it works and then fails to boot or locks up when at room temperature after that then its cooked, sometimes they vibrating 7 times when turning it on when they are cooked but that doesnt always happen and is not conclusive, the freezer test is the best one i have used !

thanks for reply man
not sure if fully fixed but in the last hour took out of freezer
hit the red button at the back a few time - followed by a hard reset ie both vol buttons then up vol button > first time in 48 hours in went to magdlr > rebooted back to bootloader > stock rom from tmobile website so far so good - fingers crossed
Glad it helped but be careful as that is how the patient starts to die I'm afraid. Hopefully you will be ok. Just be careful.... peace
