Hi, I am having an issue getting my X2 into boot mode in order to update the firmware - even following the instructions on SE Update Service (press and hold volume down button and power button until white screen appears)
All that happens is the vibration feedback to indicate power on, then the phone loads up as normal.
I've updated another X2 and it worked correctly, the problem appears to be with this specific unit.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what may be causing this, or how to get this one into boot mode please?
Best to send it to service centre..
could it be because it's made in china? just a thought...
Just note that on the X2 you wont see the bootloader.
You know your in the bootloader when the phone stand on the SE Logo.
Then you can connect the phone and update it
Hi, thanks for the advice all
I can't send it to a service centre as I don't have a receipt unfortunately
I'm not sure what being built in China has to do with it not entering boot mode, most SE phones are and I've not had a problem with my other ones?
Thanks for the advice on boot mode - I successfully used SEUS an another X2 and the boot mode is essentially a white screen with the SE brand logo - sadly I don't get that white screen just the black screen with logo and vibration feedback then it powers on.
Any other suggestions or should I give up and sell as faulty/parts only?
Thanks

And the X1 was made in Taiwan. What's your point?
bootloader phone stand on the SE Logo
hm, obviously missed that one after X2 subfora where created...
Mod. edit: moved to correct forum, X2 General
try this:
read all steps first
turn off phone
pull out battery wait ten seconds
put battery back in (leave cover off)
hold the power button + hold volume down
press the soft restart button* (while still holding the power button + volume down)
keep buttons held down till you see the white screen and green logo.
note* push the button with stylus it is hidden under where the stylus goes in next to the camera.
plug into the computer and run SUES it'll say already have latest version update anyways? click yes
i had to do this when i bricked my phone, (my computer crashed while i was doing the update) it really saved my day.
x2 dead
I have same problem in my phone , during update with SEUS computer hang and now
my phone shows only vibrate.
i have tried volume down+power+reset
but it can't go to white screen or sonyericsson logo.

hi
my omina 7 of 1 month is broken.
A few weeks ago it wouldnt boot and gave the screen indicating
the phone needs to be plugged into the pc, it then booted ok.
Yesterday it gave the same message but by the time i got it home
the message was gone.
Now it will not boot, it simply cycles through the samsung logo, the three network logo , then back to the samsung logo.
Will be taking it back to the three shop tonight.
is there a way of hard resetting the phone using the buttons?
I have only found info on hard reset from within the OS, which obviously i now cannot get to.
has anyone else had this problem
The only similar problem i found was with a focus
was on the windowsphonesecrets website under the heading restoration error
to hard reset the focus press the power, volume & camera buttons all together. that might do it.
Have you tried taking the battery out of the phone? Heard from someone that that solved the problem...
yes tried taking the battery out
tried it without the sim
let the battery completely drain and tried again
the hard reset button combination didnt work either
just constantly cycling between the samsung and three network logos
three have now sent it off for repair ....
I have a very similar problem. My phone randomly rebooted itself but now it sticks on the Samsung Omnia 7 logo. I've tried removing the battery but nothing.
Is there a Safe Mode I can boot into?
Damn looks like I have the same problem.Was playing a game.Phone rebooted on its own, all I get is the Samsung Omnia 7 screen.
Tried a Hard Reset. I get the options pop up for about 2 seconds asking if I want to format.If I am quick enough to press the Home button nothing happens it just switches off.
Did you try to flash the ROM ?
Me?
No?
Download mode was the only mode that seemed to be recognised by my PC.If it wasn't in warranty I would maybe have tried that, but as it is in warranty I will let T-Mobile deal with it.
my repaired samsung was returned mid january
a few weeks later and the same thing has happened again...
phone froze, switched it off , now will not boot again
it is definitely the same hand set or at least the same outer casing
the bill said it had some parts replaced
I wonder what caused this issue?
I had similar problem and this is how I solved it:
Make sure your Device is switched off (remove and reinsert the battery)
1. Press and hold the Camera, Volume Down, and Power buttons simultaneously.
2. Release Power when the phone vibrates, but continue to hold down Camera and Volume Down.
3. Release Camera and Volume Down when the Format prompt is displayed on screen.
4. Press Windows key twice to confirm the hard reset.
Enjoy your phone now
add 1 to the list, mine is doing thin, formatting doesnt help, reflashing doesnt help.
unless i can find a fix, im without a phone for 15 days while tmob plays with it
any progress?
Since applying the update that Samsung release yesterday I'm having the same problem...
Format didn't work, installing 'older' firmwares (I8700BSEJK1, I8700XENJK1 and I8700DBTJK1) didn't solve any issue
Anybody with more ideas?
I've also had this issue... I think it was caused by forcing the nodo update. Now I've updated it normally using this guide

I hope now the problem is solved.
Hi,
Omnia 7 had been working fine up until now, steps leading up to the event:
* Debranded registry using chevron tool to install a regedit app.
* received pre nodo update and installed
* Used vpn workaround to install nodo update
* Phone worked fine for a month then when the 'walsh tool' was released I ran that. Went through OK and phone was still useable.
* A few hours later I was browsing the market place and phone rebooted itself and was stuck at the Omnia7 logo. Started phone in USB mode and connected to Zune to restore - got to 34% and errored saying "phone not responding".
* Power cycled again into usb mode and connected to PC but now the device is not recognised at all in Windows (nothing showing in device manager)
* restore mode is disabled but I have ordered a 'jig' tool.
My concern is that if USB mode is no longer picked up in Windows, that restore mode won't be picked up either. I should have the 'jig' in the next day or so.
I had the same problem about a week after I got my Omnia 7 in October last year.
Obviously I hadn’t used any tools for debranding or anything then, It seems like a fault with the phone to begin with, not due to anything you done.
I rang Orange and they sent me a brand new phone the next day. So try ringing your provider.
I tried connecting the phone again tonight and zune picks it up, gets to 99% complete on restore then stops. Seems the USB is being detected again - I did have the battery out of it overnight.
I have the same exact problem but without any jailbreaking
please I you find any solution just tell me
beacuse I don't have warranty I bought it via Ebay
Using the "jig" tool, I was able to enter download mode and reflash the device. I now have a "Welcome to your Samsung Omnia7" screen.
So I can confirm this method works.
Hi
In the Microsoft answer forum someone wrote that the problem was form the battery. So, I will go first with this one.
Regarding the download mode I have problem as well. When I hold pressing the volume up, camera and the power button it display the USB connection logo same as the one in the update. I don't know why!!!

That is because your bootloader does not support the Download Mode and enters the Zune Recovery Mode instead.
Hi! try with this
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...spx?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Did you try Hard reset?
1. Press and hold down the Power button + Volume down button + Camera button all at the same time until the device vibrates, then let go of the Power button while continuing to hold down the Volume down button and the Camera button.
2. Shortly you should see the message displaying "Are you sure you want to format?", you can now release the Volume down button + Camera button.
I just formated and same problem appear again and again
I don't what to do
please help
in addition to that I don't have the download mode
You will have to get the jig tool to enter download mode to reflash, or send away for repair.
My phone is still playing up, random crashes then stuck at Omia logo. To get it started again I have to reinsert the battery and even then sometimes it gets stuck at the Windows Phone logo. I will try one more flash and if I still have problems I will be raising a warranty claim.
This happened to my phone this morning. Tried to open Beezz, but it wouldn't start (went right back to home screen).
I obviously tried a reboot, but it got stuck at the Samsung Omnia 7 -screen.
So far I have:
(no difference between the steps)
Installed the samsung update patch\fix
Hard reset
Reflash via download mode to KB2
Hard reset
Reflash via download mode to JK1
No success so far. At the moment I'm letting it stay turned on, and every minute or so it flashes black, but returns to the logo screen.
Any help would be appreciated :d
Mine seems to work for a day or so after a reflash, then starts playing up again. Sometimes stuck at logo until I take the battery out and then put back in. I had a problem opening the messaging app, would get the tile animation then back to homescreen. I have arranged to have my Omnia sent back under warranty so will see what they find.
After a power surge, my Omnia hanged then when I rebooted, its now stuck at that Logo Screen. Did everything possible (hard reset, flash rom, go into recovery mode which gets stuck after zune reboots the phone....)
Used the windows support tool and I get this message: The phone is not in the 'Connect to PC' state. Please, make sure that you follow the instructions and your phone shows the 'Connect To PC' image
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Sounds like you have tried everything I would have already. I would send it for repair / warranty.
Turns out my phone WAS faulty and it has been replaced - should receive replacememnt today (Has taken over a month)
i am having a problem with the update procedure on my trophy
its on the 7392 update and at the last step 9/10 where it says rebooting your phone it has stuck there for over a half an hour.
The phone shows the htc logo (white background)
What should i do? Should i cancel the update?
thx
after one hour waiting on the rebooting point i decided to press cancel on the update
Now the phone doesnt start
What can i do ?
I have to contact htc or is a way to recover it?
Take the battery out, put it back in, then hold the volume down and power buttons. See if the recovery screen shows up (Blue, Red, Green stripes).
If so, find a RUU restore file for your network on the development subforum. Ask for help here if you're stuck.
the problem is that the phone doesnt start. Its dead. Maybe it wass a hardware prob because from the beggining when i got it the scrolling wasnt as smooth as the other trophys i have.
Is there a prog like phoenix on nokia for htc?
It sounds to me the same problem I had, I did an update but saw the phone restart and frozen on the HTC logo for over 30 minutes. I had no choice but to power the phone off.
I've tried various ways to turn the phone on (factory hardware reset), holding the camera lens and power button etc. Nothing. Is it dead? What can we do? Did you manage to power on your device Djole77?
That sounds pretty bad for you guys. If you can't get the phone into recovery mode, even after removing the battery, they may be dead.
I is possible to JTAG the HTC trophy with some soldering, which would let you recover the phone in most circumstances. However it requires voiding your warranty, opening the phone and soldering. Best leave it.
The first thing to do is take it to your carrier for warranty repairs. The mango update voids your warranty (because the carriers don't / can't support Mango yet) but if the whole phone is bricked then it shouldn't make a difference. Take it to them and don't mention the mango upgrade.
If that doesn't work, try HTC.
If that doesnt' work, and you're on Microsoft's developer network, they offer a substitutionary warranty for developers installing mango.

From the beginning something was wrong with this phone the scrolling wasn't smooth like the other trophys I have
maybe there was a hardware problem and the update finished it

Thanx
Hi all,
my Gylaxy M30s rebooted itself yestarday, and now is stuck at the very first screen (the one showing "SAMSUNG Galaxy M30s" in the center and "Powered by android" at the bottom).
Vol down + power results in a reboot attempt (screen goes black, vibration), but the phone is stopping at the same screen again.
I am not able to turn the phone off.
Switching from Vol down to Vol up immediately when screen goes black does not enter recovery mode.
Vol down + power while charging sometimes leads to the charging symbol being shown on the screen, but without the percentage in the middle.
Charging over night did not help.
The phone cannot be connected to a Win PC.
Any suggestions what I can try?
Thanks,
Alchemist
Try volume down+volume up and while pressing those buttons, plug your phone into your computer. Tell me the results of that.
Nothing happening...
I mean trying those combinations immediately after using power+ volume down to reboot.
What did you do with your phone? Died suddenly when normally using?
Yes, phone died during normal usage.
Ah, I see - a screen comes up warning me that downloading a custom OS might harm the phone.
Also, the PC makes this "USB connected" sound when I then press Vol up, but I do not see a new drive connected, I think.
I am slightly optimistic now?
Press volume up.Then install Samsung usb drivers(search on Google)
Ugh, just wanted to do this, but now the phone is completely dead. No response to any button or charging. Will hang it on the charger for a few hours, but my optimism is gone...
OK, now it works again. I am in the screen with the colourfull stuff and the phone waits for some download.
Driver is installed on PC. Is there anything supposed to happen - the phone is still not accessible via PC, or is it?
Install Odin (search in Google 'odin samsung' and download)
Download stock firmware(android os) at www.samfw.com , after downloading you will see files like AP-M505xxxxxxx.tar.
Select, from the stock ROM AP-M305xxxxx.tar for AP in odin CSC-M305xxxxx.tar for CSC, and so forth then click start .
OK. All data will be lost, right? Is there some way to access the internal storage to rescue some files before flashing the new firmware?
Sorry to tell you that you cannot have data restored bad news for you sorry
Sorry. If you only see one file(make sure it is .tar or .tar.md5 file) after you extracted the .zip firmware, install it to the AP slot.
Any chance I could fix this issue with tools like dr.fone, UltFOne, ReiBoot?
I do not have any experiences with these - no idea if the just want to make money with desparate customers? ...
These could possibly brick your phones even more ( anyways flashing with Odin could also brick your phone). However, it in some cases can fix your device.
If you HAVE to have your data back and you don't mind paying, visit a service center and tell them: 'Hey my phone died and i HAVE to have the data back '.(I know, your warranty is expired probably, but they might still do the things for you with paying.)(if those stores closed during lockdown then I don't know any way to fix it.)
OK, another thing I have observed: The screen goes black after about 30 sec to 5 min when not charged - the shorter it was charged, the quicker the screen goes black. Buttons do nothing when screen is black. When reattached to charger, phone tries to boot and is then stuck at said screen - no button pressing needed for the phone to try to start. The longer the phone has been without charger, the longer it takes until the phone tries to boot.
Maybe it's just the battery that is dead - or would the phone with a dead battery boot normally when attached to charger?
If that is the case, open up your phone, put in a replacement battery, and try to boot up(yes, you need to. it will be a frustrating process.). Your phone could be having a faulty battery and nothing else, to cause this issue.
Im having the same problem mentioned above. The samsung service centre says to replace the motherboard which costs almost half the price of the actual phone..

Truth to be told: The guy in the repair shop opened the phone and wanted to change the battery - when he saw that water must have come into the phone, corroding the motherboard. So yeah, all data lost, but... no backup, no mercy. I now have set up a NAS for all computers and devices in our family... ;-)
If it really is a hardware problem then the quality must have been really bad.
