Frozen & Possibly Bricked

I've had my Wallaby for a while, and for some weird reason it just stopped working (froze). I tried to format it (Hard Reset) to get it going again, but all it did was just hang at the logo screen.
Now, I've tried, and unsuccessfully, to get it to work by reflashing the ROM.
That hasn't worked. In fact, now I can no longer get to the boot-loader.
Please help!
This phone is a great phone!

Bricked OMNIA 7??? HELP!

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
follow the this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2530409/en-us
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. .
try this one this is from microsoft answer

Omnia 7 stuck boot screen

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.

Constantly Rebooting

Hello, one week ago I received the Axon 7 mini from Gearbest, since then I haven't used it that much, but yesterday while watching a youtube video it turned off suddenly and when I tried to turn it on it just gotted stuck in the zte logo. After several tries, and trying of wiping the data and doing the factory reset (what gave error messages such as "can't mount"...), I decided to update it to from the sd card using firmware of the russian zte. After that the phone could pass the zte logo and start the configuration screen slowly, but started to rebooting, it took me several trys till I could finish the set up, but the problem was still, then I tried to do the factory reset as well as data wipe now succesfully, but the rebooting and slowness still there, so I can't do anything because I can't finish the setup correctly, and even the only way to turn off the phone without the boot loop is inside the menu of android recovery. I hope you can help me, thanks.

Help with strange bootloop

So, my G4 Plus got itself bricked out of thin air. I got it last year , unlocked it ages ago, tried some ROMs but decided to go back to stock+ because of pesky camera problems.
Earlier today i was using it normally when it froze and a long vibration started. With no other options I made a hard reboot and it started up again, only it didn't... The boot animation came out all choppy before rebooting itself again. Sometimes it lasted longer, sometimes a bit shorter but it never fully booted up again. Back home I booted into TWRP, flashed cache/dalvik, nothing. It DID get to a full "G" logo, then rebooted itself again. Got a ROM into the SD card, started flashing, froze, reboot again. Tried formatting everything, same thing, froze, reboot.
Just about the only things I can do with it are boot to TWRP and do anything that doesn't involve storage (so pretty much useless) and bootloader.
I also tried just about everything in my power to flash it on ADB/fastboot, but windows itself won't recognize the thing. All sorts of drivers, command lines, windows test mode (for driver certificate shenanigans), nothing worked. I even tried the same on a netbook with win7 since my desktop doesn't have a single USB 2.0 and I heard ADB has trouble with 3.0, nothing again. It doesn't recognize the device at all. They do recognize my girlfriend's G5 by the way, but seem to want nothing to do with my crippled-down-to-bootloader G4+.
I need some help guys, any clues?
Remember:
-Not your everyday bootloop
-Stuck with bootloader and limited usage of TWRP (i can copy files from SD to Internal with no problems)
-Neither Win10 with USB3.0s nor Win7 with USB2.0s recognize the phone at all, at least in this state (every driver out there already installed in every order)
