Greeting
I ask someone for help. My Samsung E900 has worked perfectly until yesterday ... After changing the Regional Settings sought to be restarted to accept new settings. After that phone at the time of ignition appears LG logo and the fit is a few seconds the screen clears and the LG logo appears again, and so constantly ..
Any ideas?
Thanks

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.

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 dont know what version there is on my phone, it received it like this, the only thing I see when trying to start it is "LG" and it shows right away.
I tried everything I stumbled upon when it comes to trying to put windows phone software in the phone, but Nothing works... I will send it back tomorrow monday if I cant find a solution to this.
I got the same problem before.
I just turn it off, and leave it for a night
Next day, all the things are ok
yeeaah well, nothing helped, whatever I did to it...
I received no less than 3 broken phones and now finaly I have a working one yaaaayyy
Congrats,
I just sent my phone to LG for the same problem....
My phone can boot up in very low rate...
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

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, i bought an HTC Dream/Google G1/T-Mobile G1. I bought as faulty and asked the guy what did it had. He said he needed to flash and update software. So i bought it thinking that if that's the problem i'd solve it and end up with an Android phone. I paid €50 for it. Thing is i can't do anything to the phone. I plugged the battery, pushed power and it gives the normal vibrate and then nothing, the screen doesn't even light up. I have to take the battery out to power off the phone then. If i plug the USB, it lights the red LED, but no recognition of the phone by the PC, turn it on again...the same.
I've searched the forum, top to bottom, and i've tried almost everything to try and make something out of my beautyfull brick. Keys combination, *.img to SD, haven´t tried throwing it to the wall, but i'm almost there.
If i could even get to bootloader... I have a Diamond and flashed it numerous times and never had a glitch.
Can you guys help out ? Please, i've searched the forum, read almost every post about bricked phones, etc...
Sounds like they may have flashed the wrong firmware file or its physically damaged and they lied to you.
I am pretty sure it needs re-flashed with a jtag interface if it's only a software issue. Because if the recovery image is intact it will still say "t-mobile G1" and be stuck in a boot loop.
Have you tried to start the phone to fastboot mode(hold down the back button and press power), or recovery(hold home and press power) ?
If you can't get into either of those you either need to find someone with a jtag adapter or get your money back because it's dead.
Thanks for the reply.
I tried all of that... . How on earth will i find someone with a jtag adapter, at least in a nearby area... guess i have nice brick then. I read somewhere here on xda of a shop in India that recovers the phone but its way to far for me to send the phone, pay the fix and they send it back!!! Well i guess thats it, i got screwed...
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.

unfortunately no i will send to the service and wait what they will tell me
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
I have the same problem Do you have any news?
Thanx
So there is a guy in my town selling a bricked G2, his ad says "was trying to root my LG G2, Now it wont turn on or anything, even when I try and charge it or plug it in. No idea what do to but dont have time to figure it out and needed a phone for work so have already replaced it."
I don't have one of these phones or know anything about the specifics of rooting them or installing ROMs on them, but I have installed them on my own phone (Optimus G) as well as bricked my own phone a number of times and fixed it.
My main question is, if this guy isn't lying and he didn't just drop it in a toilet and dry it out or something like that, is it possible for rooting or installing a ROM or whatever to completely brick it beyond repair? Or if I hop on IRC and get the necessary tools should it be fixable even if its a slight pain in the ass?
I found with my phone no matter how bad I had messed up there was always LGNPST with the stock software to fix it, so I figured it would be similar for this phone but I wanted some more opinions on it, thanks for the help and sorry for my lack of knowledge.
There are a couple of ways of hard bricking g2s so I'd be really careful with this one. If it won't even light up he might be in qhsusb bulkmode or something. Ask him to let you play around with it, if it goes in download mode and pc recognises it you should get it. If he didn't drop it in the toilet of course.
If the phone wont do a Factory Reset, Vol - and power then at the LG logo let go of power then hold again. I would stay away.
My LG G2 was totally dead that I couldnt get it to boot, download mode, factory reset, or even show the battery charging screen when it was off.
Good thing I was under warranty.

The "truth" I took an OTA and it died. I IM'd with tech support and after me telling her its DEAD she wanted me to go to settings, general.... I said its DEAD. So we tried the 2button method and when that didnt work she promptly arraigned to FedEx me a new one.

It started to process the update, rebooting and stuck. All I could get it to do was show the LG logo if I power cycled it or plugged it in the usb or charger. 2finger factory reset would show the screen but never start.

alright mate im gonna say that
Hey everyone,
First of all thank you for taking a look in my thread, this is my second post here in this forum but, I just have to tell you guys, I've been around since 2012 and you guys rock!
Anyway enough of chit chat, so I had my phone pretty much hard bricked, thanks to some tutorials I've finally found a way to get it back to life BUT ( there's always a but ), it isn't like before, everything was working very nicely after the fix, the Power button stopped working, the volume rockers are still fully functional but the power button isn't. So I thought "f*ck this, I gotta buy a new flex assembly", that's what I did, it arrived today, so I got to work and put it all together with the new button, but for my surprise it is EXACTLY de same as before, so it seems like it has nothing to do with the flex assembly/buttons itself but something more like motherboard or something..
Have any one of you guys had this issue? By the way another very interesting thing is that the buttton "still gives signal" since if I press on it, it doesn't do anything even with the phone off BUT, if I have the phone turned on, and I press it for 5+ seconds , it shutdowns the phone as it should! So why isn't it working when I do a press, but if I hold it works?
By the way my phone when died even the partition table got corrupted, so I even had to redo that could it have anything to do with it?
Oh and the basic tips of putting the phone in Download Mode and fully revert to stock didn't work, already did it many times since I brought it back to like..
Regards, and thank you for reading this LONG post and spending your time with me :silly:

Hi, i has been a long time until you wrote this topic, but now, in 2018, i got the same problem that you.
I bricked the phone, unbricked with some xda's tutorials, install a kdz image and system got ok, but the damn power button not work.
It work on a very specific moment that is when the phone is on and i press the button, after 5 seconds the phone turn off, but none menu appears, it just turn off. Besides, it won't work to turn on the device. In this case, i aways need to put the cable and when the LG log appears I must remove (if not, the battery symbol is shown, and the device not turn on).
I wonder if you were able to fix your phone or someone of xda had this problem.
Thanks
Nope never got it fixed just moved on and bought another device, besides that is now a outdated device..
