First of all, it's not my device, it's my coworker's, and he brought it to me to install some sw for him few days ago, cause he is bigger newb to WM than me All the programs were installed to main memory, so i noticed that there is too little memory available. So we agreed that I ll do a cleanup for him and restart his programs in a few days, and finally he brought it over today, but the battery wasn't in the device for probably more than a night. Now it won't boot windows, it goes to windows mobile screen with "boot into safe mode" message, so wheter I boot into safe mode nothing happens, and if I go into normal mode, it just restarts
Any help?
Hard reset worked, I'll see where it goes from here

Hi,
New phone and new to Windows phone 7. Classic story - the phone has stuck in boot screen, it says only "Samsung Omnia 7" and that's all. I have tried all tips I could find from internet - took the battery out and let it sit, tried to hard reset it -nothing. Actually hard reset button combination seemed not to work - when I turn it on, holding camera and volume down buttons, nothing happens, it shows boot screen and that's all. It do switch to the download mode when I turn it on holding camera and volume up buttons. I tried to reflash it (got the rom files that it came originally), and after restart the situation is the same - boot screen stuck and nothing happens.
I used WP7_downloader version 7.41, Samsung USB drivers v5.02. The weird thing was that older versions of WP7_Downloader did not work - told that flash lock was on. 7.41 seemed to work, it erased and downloaded all areas fine. I don't know if this is normal, but the flashing process itself took about 120 seconds only. I tried alternative ROM (classic I8700XXJK1), the flashing time was slightly different, but nothing changed, after flashing the device restarts and stuck to the boot screen. As I have read the flashing process should took about 10 minutes or so? I waited for about 20 minutes and nothing changed.
Can I switch the device to some debug mode or do something else that could lead me to the reason the device is not booting?
Omnia 7 stuck at boot screen after
I upgraded to Mango last week and i now too am stuck at the "Samsung Omnia 7" boot screen.
The phone seemed to do two updates, the first suceeded no problem. I started the update before going to bed. In the morning it had completed the first and was awaiting my pin code to start the device. All good.
It then prompted about the Mango update. I clicked it and left it for an hour or so. Came back and zune stated it was on the step, "restarting the phone".
The phone was showing "Samsung Omnia 7", i left it for another hour and then came back, no progress.
Nothing i've found on the net up until today has worked for me.
I can enter the format and download modes still.
This is what i've found and tried so far.

(yes this is an older issue but it looked like it was working until it said something about "flash lock").
Next step is a complete ROM reinstall. But i'd really like to find out precisely which ROM i should try and if Mango is the actual culprit. I'd like to reinstall Mango if possible.
My Omnia 7 was bought secondhand.
I am with Telstra NextG carrier.
After mango update mine is behaving strange too. It shuts down itself randomly and it is stucking at omnia 7 screen. After a few try I am able to open it. But I noticed something, it's shutting down much more while it's connecting to web or PC. Can this be related? Because I couldn't find another reason about that.
Background: I bought this phone on ebay mainly for development testing of apps. The seller has a high reputation and said that the device would boot to the insert sim card prompt. Upon receiving the phone it always boots to the download mode, I am new to Windows Phone 7, I tried to get it to hard reset, I downloaded Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe extracted the files and installed the usb drivers. The 7.05 version of the program runs copying files to the phone and you can see a progress bar at the bottom of the download mode screen. When it gets to the end and reboots it immediately goes back to the download mode screen and from videos I have found it should go to a transfer screen. The program does still go with the rebuilding part but the phone stays on the download mode screen. I have waited over an hour after the program said it was complete. I have also pulled the battery after a half hour and on pressing power it goes back to the download mode screen. Hardware version 1.3
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
So today i bought my LG G6.
There was a software update (i thing Oreo update) i installed it and when i got to the secure screen on the boot.
I type my PIN ,which was valid and my phone now is stuck on the secure loading screen.
At first i thought it was just going to take some time but after 25 minutes of waiting this started to worry me.
The phone is still on loop and when i use the Power Button and the Vol down the phone restarts but the same thing happens.
I tried everything from restarting it , to hard resetting (which doesn't want to work, the bootloader menu doesn't even show up with all the steps completed correctly) to throwing it on the ground.
(PHONE IS NOT ROOTED)
EDIT:I MANAGED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE BUT NOW IM STUCK AT THE PROVIDERS SCREEN WHICH IS (TIM) AND I CANNOT DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN SOFT RESTART
Regards,
Try put the phone into download mode and use LG bridge to reflash stock [Use the "Update error recovery" to reflash]
Hello everybody,
two days ago, my Mi A1 just spontaniously restarted while running.
But since then it is stuck in the "Android one" screen. With multiple restarts, I finally manage to get to the unlock screen.
If I then enter my pattern the screen changes to "Android is starting", but after two seconds the phone restarts again until I'm at the "Android one" screen again.
So I can't enter the actual system.
I can enter the stock bootloader and also fastboot, but I'm not entirely sure what I can do there (except a factory reset).
I also tried to enter the failsafe mode (by hitting the shutdown icon longer in the unlock screen), but the phone just normally restarts as mentioned early. I don't seem to get into that mode.
My suspicion:
For a few months I'm running out of disk space. Because of that I couldn't install all the big updates lately. I suspect, that the OS somehow forced an update that failed because of the space issue. At least this is the only thing that I notice lately what could explain the situation.
Do I have other options to resolve my problem, except a factory reset?
My last backup is two months old, so I would survive deleting everything, but it would be way better if I don't have to
Do you guys have any hints for me?
regards and thanks in advance,
koala
I was getting nervous and just did the factory reset.
And it seems to have worked just fine.
Some data is lost though.
