The unique problem is after flashing the samsung omnia 7 ROM onto the phone it now will not load past the samsung load screen it just stays frozen.
I have flashed every ROM possible onto the phone and it will not complete and just freezes on the samsung screen despite seeming to complete on the computer and even on phone to extent (shows the green loading bar on bottom while flashing). I figrue by this point one of you smart guys have figured out how to solve this. I would love to replace my HTC surround with my focus to refresh things.
PLEASE somone help me... Can someone at least confirm the phone is useless, and if so what I should do with it? Or is it possible that I can unlock it again somehow.

Hi,
Phone info :
ipl : 3.08
SPL: 3.08
GSM: 01.12.10
OS : 4.0.0.0
Using a rom i upgraded a year ago.
So yesterday i decided to update my music on the phone, so not a big deal, but when i tryed to play 1 my telephone said it was out of memory and just went really slow, so i decided a reset, bad move.
After the reset it goes to the 2nd loading screen and just hangs there, i cant do anything.
When booting i can go into the screen with all the colors. (gotta press the cam button).
I already googled 2 days but cant find anything to fix this.
Any idea's ?? or is my phone dead ?
didnt remember this forum to be this dead.... any word ?
All my snarky comments about your misplaced impatience can be set aside for later abuse.
For now, here's how you fix it:
Charge on a wall charger with phone turned off. Verify green light before going any further (flashes don't work on less than 50% charge, and a full charge is the only way to be sure when you can't boot the OS).
Let it boot until it's stuck in bootloader mode (the three-color screen).
Hook it to a computer that you have previously synced to the phone with. Verify that "USB" appears in the bottom of the screen. If not, you're probably hosed.
Flash the ROM you loaded again (or get another ROM, doesn't matter...the one in my Sig is pretty nice, if you re-skin Manila after loading it). If you unlocked this phone before adding the ROM you last had, do NOT flash back to OEM ROM unless you can flash a ROM that removes the unlock (for G4, it's the Remove HardSPL procedure).
After that, you can stave off a lot of these kind of memory problems in the future by loading some kind of RAM indicator (QuickMenu has a built-in one, can manage running programs, and gives you a Windows desktop-style start menu for programs instead of the dumb endless folder parade) to let you know you have too many programs running, and you need to do a soft reset every once in a while, just to jog it clean. It also would be wise for you to load a cleaner to clear out your temp files...you'd be shocked how much crap piles up under the OS when you're not looking.
One last thing, do us a favor and put all your phone's info in your Sig...it helps others have a strong footing for making suggestions...not everyone would know off-hand that you have a G3 or a G4 without that info, and your problems can be made a LOT worse by someone offering the wrong answer based on not clearly identifying your hardware.
Hi,
First, Sorry for my impatient, it kinda sucked to have to go back to my old phone and recharge every 30 mins
In this impatiency (dont know if its a word but it sounds cool ) i found out my t-mobile contract was up for renewal, so i did that and ordered a new HTC Touch HD (will update my sig assoon as it ships )
So i guess ill fix this phone, and find a dutch ROM and give it to my dad, he's always working with excel etc and i think this is perfect
Thanks for your response and fix, sorry again for my impatience.
Sorry, double post, pretty slow forum lately
Hello,
I bought HTC HD2 in ebay couple of minths back but I never used it. After almost 4 months i took it out of box and started. But I am stuck with white screen and I dont know what to do. When I bought the phone i switched on and it worked properly and even i took pictures with it couple of days back. So please hlep me what to do and how to do because i dont know anything about this flashing roms and etc. Hope u understand. Thanks
Please give a detailed explanation of the current situation of the phone.. when do you get a white screen.. what else do you see.. what do you press to get the white screen.. what have you done to the phone lately/in the past.. etc etc..
If you are getting a white screen when loading a stock winmo 6.5 rom, then there is a large thread here that you could read through. You will have to search for it though.
I did have this problem once before, and I fixed it by taking out my SD card before turning on the phone. I had to format my SD card on my PC before use though.
Hi guys,
I have a issue with my phone but couldn't find a solution anywhere.
I have a 16gb Sandisk card, which I have been using for 2 months now, I have been testing many Roms and had no issue till last couple of days.
Previously I flashed WP7 on it's own, then dual boot with Android (different Radio), then Android only, did all this with no issues, after few weeks of being on Android the phone started going crazy, starting applications on its on, will not respond to touch and mainly pressing keys on the keyboard by it's self, especially when I press the delete button it would go crazy start typing random words.
Thinking it was a issue with Android, flashed a new radio and new wp7 rom, but still have the same issue, keyboard and menu doing random things, the standby screen shaking/vibrating like there's no tomorrow.
Some-one please help, I have flashed 3-4 different Rom's, still same issue.
Is my SD card damaged ? I did a full format and flashed rom again, didn't help.
Anyone ?? Can someone help ??
While this sound much more like a hardware problem than a software problem I've never experienced anything alike. Maybe swing by your retailer's store see if they can get you a replacement?
the wp7 rom can work without the sd (you wont have a lot of data space). you can try running removing the sd and see if the problem repeats.
Hey guys,
I was updating my Focus earlier today. It went through the process fine until the last restart step of the last update(there were 2 or 3 in total), when it seemed to just hang on the Samsung loading screen. I left it for about 10-15 minutes, but I had to go catch a bus so I had to unplug the phone and go.
Bad choice on my part. Reading online after the fact informed me the Focus could hang for a while on the Samsung loading screen at that step of the update. And now, since I interrupted the update process, its been bricked for me. Whenever I turn it on, it just stays on the Samsung loading screen. It will not be recognized by Zune, or my computer at all. I can get it to go to the hard reset screen, but nothing seems to come of that (I let it go for intervals of 15 minutes, as a few sites advised, to 45, with nothing occuring).
I'm trying leaving it on the Samsung focus screen for a few hours. If that fails, I'll leave it on overnight in the hard reset download mode. I dont have much hope though, and I'm wondering if any of you guys know anything I could try to fix it.
Thanks a bunch.
I'm pretty sure you can get to download mode and flash one of the original focus roms. Just head over to the Focus development section and reflash the rom. Make sure you flash the right one in regard to rev version. The thread will give you all the directions you need.
Figured i'd include the link just to make it a little easier. I hate bricking phones haha. Good Luck

The low storage issue from adding a mSD card would have been resolved with a simple HARD RESET.
Right now you need a backup of your phone, made before the flashing with Omnia bits. Someone else had this issue, read here. This is also for the specific thread you opened here.
*noob*
My phone froze during the update for 7.5... Zune gave me an error code but wasn't able to write it down. The phone froze on the left arrow and the red "do not remove" symbol for about 30 mins before i unplugged it and turned it off. When i turned on the phone it stayed on the samsung logo and did nothing. i did a hard reset i still got the same thing. Then i took out the memory card and reset, still the same stuck on samsung. Then i called samsung and the walked me through a reset/reformat By pulling out the sim card then Holding down the camera/volume/power at the same time until it vibrates then after just hold down the camera and volume down, click the windows icon to reformat, still stuck on the Samsung logo!!!!
I'm going to try this flash thing... We will see how it goes i'm a noob
Interesting Samsung gave you that advice.
First thing you should have done is connect it with Zune started and it should have continued the process as long as there wasn't a fatal error.
Flashing UCJK2 should work in your case (assuming you have 1.3 hardware).
Flashing any and all ROMS will not work, keeps freezing at the samsung logo screen after seeming to finish, can't get god damn phone to lauch up, then I could connnect it to zune and exhaust mroe resources. samsung just sent me a bad phone and it stinks.

As I said and the per the info in the thread above, you need to restore from backup. Most likely flashing any rom is not working.
If you tinkered by flashing unknown bits and without taking precautionary measures, don't blame others.
I was not blaming anyone, the only reason i started flashing was because a microsd card ruined the phone down to 15 mb and no matter what method i used to reset the phone it would not leave that state, i tried for month before resorting to drastic flashes.
It does not matter anyway what is done is done, just exploring if there is any moving forward. If restoring is what I have to do to have a chance, is there any way to restore without being able to connect to zune. Also I do not have a backup is there one available anywhere?

Zune creates backups of stages before the last update. If you're on Mango, you should have a NoDo backup in Zune. There is no way you can restore without Zune. You can check by going in Zune (when phone connected), Phone (near Marketplace/Social - top left), then "Settings", then "Update". Now Zune should tell you you have a Restore. Good luck!
