My omnia 7 shuts down all the time.. i don't know what the issue is. I have hard reset the phone a couple of times.
It happens very often when charging. As soon as the screen turns off, 1 or 2 minutes later, it comes back on again, says "Goodbye" and phone swithces off and then restarts. I then have to insert the sim code again.
I had Mango installed and tried to turn off 3G in the diagnostics "app", by choosing GSM 800/1900 i think it was. It was then it started behaving weird, and restarting. I have since reverted it back to Automatic in the diagnostic window, gone back to NoDo, and done a hard reset.
Done some more testing. If the sim card is removed, all is normal. it charges, and everything is fine. As soon as sim card is inserted it starts shutting down all the time.
i have also tried having the sim card inserted, and click cancel when asked for sim. still it restarts.
will the diagnostic changes have been reverted once i hardreset?

Have you try this : http://www.samsung.com/no/consumer/...NEE/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support
I had the same problem a few month ago. It seems that firmware upgrade have resolve the problem for me
Dear dada051. Thanks for reply.
I went to the link. But is it the "Kies" i should install, or the patch? the patch is for installing NoDo? I already have it installed. But my firmware might be old. I believe the new one is KC1? I have JK1 out of the box i believe. Please help me..
Forget the "Kies" software. You should install http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=UNI_NO&CttFileID=4048024&CDCttType=SW&ModelType=N&ModelName=GT-I8700&VPath=SW/201105/20110524101224996/Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2.exe
(it's the direct link to the firmware updating software, v KC3)
If you use the first link i've post, you'll find the second link in the "Programvare" section
I have tried this now. It went to download mode, the program did something, and the phone restarted. Zune says that the software is up to date, as i have NoDo already. The firmware revision and radio version did not change. still the same as mentioned over.
Should i install a new ROM?
If you don't have the diagnosis app : dial ##634#
It create a link in your app list to disagnosis and launch it.
If you have the diagnosis app, launch it.
type *#1234# to display the firmware version
if it's not :
PDA: xxxxxxxKC1
Phone: xxxxxxxKB2
CSC: xxxxxxxxJK1
you have to install the ROM KC1 that you can find here http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i8700.htm (you need to be registred).
You will find any help you need to update your firmware in this site. I can help you tomorow if you need.
THE FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL ERASE ALL DATAS IN YOUR PHONE!!
My Phone : KC1/KB2/JK1
Firwmware : 2424.11.3.1
Radio software : 2424.11.2.2
bootloader : 5.3.0.4
Ok. i have now flashed to KC1.
Firmware: 242411.3.1
Hardware: 3.15.0.4
Radio software: 2424.11.2.2
Bootloader 5.3.0.4
And the phone has finally settled.
I have installed mango beta again, and i am charging the phone right now, and since the flash yesterday, no shutdowns.
Love my new omnia 7. yesterday, i was about to throw it away and go back to my iPhone 4.
I noticed some varius bugs happeing after some short time after you bought the phone. Pulling the battery and letting it lay around a short while seems to fix it, and never returns again after that.
Wery strange, but not sure that would have helped you, just saying that wierd things seems to happen with new Omnia 7 phones that with battery removment seems to fix the most.
Could be the same issue i had. I also removed the battery, and then inserted the battery again, also hardreset and flashing of KC1 firmware. No longer sure what fixed the problem

Hi All,
Just had a strange experience with my Focus. After being initially notified of the Feb update a few weeks ago (I aborted it half-way through as it got stuck), my phone then told me no update was available. Today I plugged it into my PC and it told me an update was now available. I tried to do this a few times and it went through all the steps, but at the end Zune returned an error code (80007B54) and told me the update could not be completed. Anyone know what this means? Is there a problem with my phone, the update, or Zune / my PC? I'm confused...
Sorry - got the error code wrong. It was 800705B4.
One issue has been free space on your computer. Make sure you have copious amounts available.
Thanks for the reply. I have about 300GB free on my hard drive, so I doubt that's the problem. Anything else? The phone itself has about 1GB free...

The solution for some seems to be to make sure you have at least 4GB of free space on the phone.
http://www.wpcentral.com/microsoft-resume-samsung-pre-nodo-updates-today
try to free some space, removing music or videos...
Free Space
I have about 17GB on the phone but only 8GB on the PC. Anyone know if this is enough on the PC? Haven't seen any actually requirement numbers for the PC.
Ive run into the same wall, I have 4.67 gb free on my phone and 230 gb on my computer, it still wont successfully update this is a gong show, I hope that when NoDo comes out they have this solved
I would assume it is because you started it previously. I bet the only solution will be a hard reset.
Hi All,
So, after clearing lots of space on my phone (had 5gb free at the end), still no luck (update failed many times), I factory reset the phone, and it then updated with no problems at all. I wonder whether part of the problem might be with some of the installed apps, or that there is some corruption issue? Anyone have ideas? Would prefer not to have to go through this again when NoDo drops...
Just wondering if any of the problems with the update could be due to those who added a micro sd card into their phone. Seems coincidental/logical since the focus is the only windows phone 7 device that has a micro sd slot.
Post Update Specs?

I checked for an update via the Zune softare with my Focus plugged into the laptop and it said it was on the latest release. But the OS version is 7.0.7004.0 ... which looks to not be the updated version based on the previous post.
I do have a SD card installed. I'll wait a few more days and see what happens. I'd prefer not to hard reset the phone, but may not have a choice.

Since I just got my phone replaced, I tried Hard Resetting a number of times, but still no update. I figure it's the way it's being Rolled Out. I'm not near the beginning of the rollout cycle. I'll wait, and I'm sure it will arrive in due time.

I'm not sure about the timing, but I have 2 phones (mine and my wife's) that were purchased day one back in October 2010. If there's any kind of 'timing', I would think I would be one of the earlier ones to be in the update queue if that's how they are determining the update queue.
I think about the 'hard reset' when it comes to the SD card being in the phone. Not really certain, just thinking out loud that since I put in a 32GB SD card on day one, that I would need to hard reset because of the way that the OS is sharing the internal and external memory.
The only bad experience I have had with the SD card ... and I attribute this to the SD card and not the internal storage rightly or wrongly ... is that on some music and videos but not all, it starts getting choppy in the playback. I only notice it on music at the end of songs ... like the last few seconds. But on videos, I notice it earlier in the movie than the last few minutes. Anyway, it's just me thinking about the need for a hard reset because of the use of the SD card from day one.
Hi,
I have laid my hands on a HTC Trophy and I would like to chevron7 unlock so I make make some registry changes.
However, I am currently on the the latest ROM which is 7392
From what I have read, I need to downgrade to 7004 and then I can do the chevron cert unlock.
Unfortunately I haven't managed to find any tutorials or guide for this and dont want to end up with a brick.
Can anyone assist me or point me in the right direction?
Phone Details:
Carrier : Vodafone NZ
OS Version: 7.0.7392.0

Radio Hardware version:A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 1.20.2250.0(117833)
Thanks in advance.

When you upgraded your phone to 7392 you automatically created a Backup with Zune.
The Backup can be found somewhere at:
C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\2cb49707 - da54f4ef - ab0d6f87 - 9d2bc573\RestorePoint.
So to restore your backup - connect your phone - open Zune - click "settings" - phone - Updates - there you should find the restore option.

Thanks for that. However, i ended up just flashing a custom rom and it did the same thing. Now all unlocked.
Cheers
Trophy Rom
hwere did you find the custom ROM can you please give me link
I managed to downgrade my Trophy from 7392 using the following method:
1. Download the relevant ROM, I used the oldest Vodafone one listed in the development section of the Trophy forum.
2. Disconnect from the PC if it is then turn the device off.
3. Hold the volume down button and then hold the power button unitl the boot loader screen appears. You'll know what it is as it's multi coloured.
4. Now connect it to your PC and Windows should detect it as an HTC USB Sync device.
5. Run the ROM package you downloaded earlier and follow the instructions. You will be erasing all data on the phone.
6. Updater should run!
These are only the steps that worked for me so I can't guarrentee it will work for anyone else.
Hope this helps some people.

Just unboxed a Verizon Trophy today. Activated on the Network successfully.
Phone is running the following Windows Phone Version

The phone is saying no updates found.
Zune software did not update on initial connection.
When trying to manually update via Zune Software 4.8 the following error appears.
"Can't check for updates right now. Please try again later.
We couldn't connect to the update service. Disconnect and reconnect your phone, then try installing the update again.
80072EE7"
This error has occurred on three separate computers including a fresh install.
While this device is brand new it's no longer under warranty.
Any Ideas?
Verizon, HTC, and Microsoft have no clue whats going on.
Screw that, you have two options.
SPL hack, custom rom. Read my guide here to find out how!
Benefits:
Full unlock, run stuff like Opera!
Internet sharing enabled!
Download the newest rom and flash it. You won't lose any data since you have non to lose. Go to footballs thread here and get "RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.04.605.02_Radio_NV_0215_NV58008_RELEASE.exe".
Sorry I didn't catch this thread earlier, but I hope this helps. I'd just do a full unlock. :/ Having the shipping rom and the 1.03 bootloader (you should), you should be able to unlock very easily.
Sorry, double post... lost internet during first post. Please delete.
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Express (GT-I8730), international version.
I updated my firmware using Odin to a newer build. The firmware was downloaded from SamFirmware.com.
After the update finished and my phone restarted I've got no sound at all. I tried doing a factory reset but no luck. I thought the firmware was corrupted and after downloading and installing a new one, the exact same thing happened.
In the video posted below I am doing a factory reset from recovery, just to show you that I'm doing everything from the beginning.
The phone vibrates but there is no sound.
Before the update I had build version : I8730XWAMB8. After the update I tried with : I8730XWAMD7 and I8730XWAMC4. All these builds have the version number 4.1.2.
If I reinstall the I8730XWAMB8, I have sound but this build is branded and I'm very mad that I can't install other versions. This thing won't happen on my Note 2. I can install what firmware I want from SamFirmware.com.
I also saw that with all these builds my phone will randomly power-off at different times. It can be 5 minutes after I turn it on or it can be 18 hours. After the power-off I need to take out the battery.
What is wrong with the phone? Before these updates everything worked perfectly (before trying these updates, with the initial build I had sound and there were no random power-offs).
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I also wanted to de-brand my i8730 and had similar issues as you. I tried 4 different firmwares, and the only firmware that really works OK is the original, branded one. With other firmwares (same version, same country but different branding) got me the occasional shutdowns like you described and wifi constantly disconnecting and connecting again.
Now I went back to the XWAMB8, rooted the phone and with Titanium Backup removed all the branded apps.
If you don't want to root your device you can always hide the apps, from the app list click on the Menu button and choose the option Hide applications.
Isn't that weird? I had a lot of Samsung smartphones and flashed a lot of firmwares (both stock and custom) and never experienced something like this. Can you tell me where you bought the phone from (what carrier and country)? Thanks.
ssweays composed
It is indeed very weird. My phone is branded to Portuguese Vodafone, I tried flashing other portuguese firmwares and also from other countries, the only stable one is the original one.
I think the phone is designed to be like that.
Sent from my GT-I8730 using xda-developers app
It is happened to me too, this power of thing in XWAMC4 firmware. (it is happened after less then 5 minuts after i turned out the screen)
finally i went back to the XWAMB8 and it's all work great.
No sound at all - not a problem in Australia
I updated and Optus branded i8730 with the plain vanilla variety and have had no problem.
Is your phone network locked?
99% sure mine is not and that may be what is causing it.
Bazzan
Well, it was a Vodafone Romania firmware but not really branded. I mean, it only had some apps installed by Vodafone. However, I'm getting my hands on an unbranded grey Galaxy Express today. Let's see what's going to happen with this one..
Something similar happened to me. I rooted it via motochoper from my linux desktop. Played a bit with root stuff, and later then I had no sim detection and no more speaker sound. I reflashed /system and got sim detected but still no speaker sound. Now I'm affraid of rooting the new one (I got lucky with my carrier). Something is weird about that phone...
Edit: In fact it seems to be TB that messed up the device... Everything fine now...

Try full wipe and full reflash of original firmware with odin or heimdall...
Does somebody was able to flash a ROM released for a different carrier and still have sound working on this phone?
I either have no sound at all (after burning a new ROM for different carrier) or have strange sound (like "ET call home" - not my problem description, just found it on this forum too) after mixing new ROM with my original MODEM file.
Of course, everything is fine after burning back my original ROM.

Solved with I8730XWANE1_OXXANF1 , all is OK , sound OK
After I flashed LineageOS 14.1 for GT-I8730T (mine is GT-I8730) the sound doesn't work, video player and music players too, they open and I can fast forward it, but it doesn't play. I changed it back to I8730UBAMD2 and CM 13.1 but nothing. Please help me!
I have tried everything in this forum in regards to re-flashing, the weird thing is I can flash 4.2 which boots up, but no sound or wifi, also once it boots I am able to use Kies to Upgrade the 4.4, but still no sound or wifi, if I try and flash 4.3 JB through Odin it fails every single time, I have tried multiple versions of Odin and multiple sources for the firmware file???

Same issue
Hey, I'm having the exact same problem. I had a custom rom installed and I noticed that I didn't have much room left on my internal storage. It was probably a stupid move, but while my phone was plugged into my computer, I deleted a lot of the folders that I saw on my phone. I kept the folders I thought were important (Android, DCIM) but apparently I deleted some important files.
I have reset the phone multiple times. Still no wifi or no sound. I have the same model this person has (SGH-i337m) and it was locked to Rogers originally, but the person I bought it from had it factory unlocked. I'm assuming I still try flashing with the Rogers firmware? I still have 29 minutes left for the firmware to finish downloading and then I'm going to try flashing it twice like you recommended.
If that doesn't work, I really hope you see this and are able to help me out. If it doesn't work, I will dial #1234# and post what it says. Please reply asap if you see this. Thanks!
I have the same problem as well!
It wasn't until I read this post that I realized I have not sound either.
I'm in the process of running the update through Kies (takes FOREVER) and then I'll try these instructions. Originally locked to Rogers, but was unlocked so I can use SIM cards in other countries.
I flashed to CyanogneMod and then tried to go back and now have this problem, with the kernel warning in red when the phone starts.
I had this version on my phone before CyanogenMod - can I try putting it back on, or do I use the March/2014 release?
