Hi Guys,
I was in the middle of flashing my OMNIA 7 then suddenly my computer shutdown due to a blackout at our home. Now my phone is stuck on the OMNIA 7 logo during boot and keep going that way.
I could still manage to go to download mode and reflash but when I try to flash it there is an error that would indicate "WRITE MIBIB FAILED!"
Is my phone bricked? I need your help.
By the way, if I get still manage to go to the DOWNLOAD MODE would that mean that my phone is not bricked?
Thanks!
Have you tryed formating before you try? Just use the other volym button.
Tryed yet?
Yeah I tried it, but still not working. . I still manage to get to "download mode" though.
As I have read through the different posts in the forum I see people experiencing the same problem such as the phone which keep on restarting and stuck on the "OMNIA 7" startup logo. . I tried the fixes that other's recommended but still doesn't work.
I tried taking the battery out for a day then putting it back in, the phone managed to boot up and I was actually able to use it but if I try to restart it again or sync it to the computer, It suddenly resets then goes on the boot loop once again. .
Well then I guess there is only one way. Return it to the store. :'(
to flash, ALWAYS restart your computer before and use a laptop with charged battery to avoid this problem.
For your problem you can tried to flash only bootloader part, radio part, or only PDA part for testing.
hay man
I had the same problem and here is the solution

it works 100%
I hope it works with you as well
Nice one Abd654. Hope that helps you bor. GL
I have a problem getting in to "Connect to PC" I followed the instructions on holding the power and camera buttons, etc. but it won't go to "connect to pc" screen. . it's just keeps on flashing the "Samsung Omnia 7 logo" on the screen everytime I turn it on.
I tried doing hard reset but I cant because once the hard reset screen shows up, the phone just restarts again then the start up loop happens again. .

I was wondering if anyone here knows of a way to unbrick an Expo.
Just got phone today and was flashing the lastest dragonstorm rom onto it when My computer crashed and I recieved a blue screen. Now when I push the power button the green light and the backlight turn on but the scren stays blank. Have tried re-flashing with both the LG update rom and the dragonstorm one but the only effect is occasionaly the 'Emergancy download' message comes on and stays on until I pull battery out.
Have you tried flashing with a different computer? was your computer running vista?
No. My computer is Windows 7. Have tried flashing on a laptop running Xp but the dragonstorm rom comes up with a message saying can not read whats on phone. Have also tried with the base rom and update rom but both go right through and say update complete but the phone is still the same.
My phone is "bricked", it won't load into the orange windows logo screen anymore, just LG logo and turn lcd off, that's it. Help
Try, Power on + space key, then you should see "emergency download".
And then try reflash phone.
up help then....
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.

(Did a device wipe to factory defaults, and its still stuck at boot screen

(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.
Hi guys,
I have an issue with my phone:
Yesterday, tried to restore factory settings, since the phone was quite slow.
A second or so after I confirmed the reset, the phone turned off and wouldn't start.
I took out the battery and it was swollen.
I bought a new battery today, inserted and stated the phone.
What happens now, is that the phone boots, Samsung logo appears, then the TWRP logo appears, from this point, the phone stuck at this logo screen,
and flashes every few seconds (I can't post a video here, so I can share the link in private, if anyone can take a look).
I tried to leave the phone for about 20mins without battery at all, removed SD cards, removed SIM cards, no use.
Trying to boot to recovery or download mode gives the same result.
Tried today with an original battery of a friend's Galaxy S4 , same result.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do?
Thanks in advance for you help

Sound to me your power button is stuck/faulty. Does it reboot also when in download mode? If so, then it's your power button. Wiggle it loose or replace it.

It never gets to download (or recovery) mode...
It keeps flashing at the logo of the TWRP
Trying to boot to download or recovery modes, gives the same results
I don't think it's the power button. Otherwise it would turn off if it is stuck or not turn on at all if it's faulty.
Still, I wouldn't exclude it.
The screen flashing might related to a GPU problem. I don't think it is a problem you can fix yourself.
My device restarted and after a software update and got stuck on a boot loop. I was able to get the phone initially into download mode as I thought I would try flashing it with ODIN back to the previous firmware. But since I haven't been to Sammobile in years, I didn't realize that the download would take hours.
So i tried force rebooting the phone again (vol down+power) in the meantime and nothing happened it was still stuck on the boot screen. So I left the phone connected to the charger and after a while I saw that it was back in downloading mode (but no ODIN mentioned in the top left corner)? I thought that was strange and since I had the download ready to flash, thought to make sure it was in download mode (proper) by pressing power+vol down+home. But this time the screen went black and now seems to be hard bricked and completely unresponsive (with only the blinking blue led) -. I've scoured the interent and the consensus seems to be that a USB jig won't work, will try it though. I'm really looking for an unbrick image to try booting it from the SD card. Would really appreciate the help! I've already tried the adb reboot download etc, but my computer and another one doesn't seem to detect the device. Please help!
Hello!
I am not a completely tech savvy person so I thought that I would post a thread to see if anybody knew anything and to see if anybody could help before I officially put my previous phone to rest. If anybody has feedback that is appreciated, thanks in advance!
I tried opening Google Chrome but that did not open so I tried the built in browser and that did not open as well, both of them immediately closed after so I thought restarting it would fix the problem but it did not when I turned it on it went to the carrier logo and stayed there (If I recall correctly) so I took the battery out and put it back in to try and fix that problem, that did not work. So I tried booting it into the only menu I could get into and did the factory reset, it went to the Green Android robot and it did the reset, after I restarted it, it went to the carrier logo and the brand logo but it just goes to the brand logo and keeps going to that and in the corner it says "790 Secure Booting Error! Error Code : 1006" and now it does not charge when I plug it in, when I plug it in all it does is the bootloop. Because the phone will not power on and go to the home screen, my computer does not recognize it.
I want to fix the phone to get it back to the home screen and make it stop doing that and to use the phone on WiFi! If you all have questions, just let me know.
