Can't boot (I even tried to recover)

I have an Omnia 7 that was T-Mobile (germany) branded, I debranded it via flashing other roms, and i flashed many time until some days ago after a flash it stopped to boot; now when I power on it stucks at logo.
So I looked over the net for a solution and I tried with the Device Update Support Tool and with the WP7 Downloader but both of them hadn't worked.
The strange thing is that I can't even hardreset because when I press Camera+Power+vol down I see for (less than) a second the screen where is asked to press the Win button and than it reboot.
Can somone please help me to recover that phone?
Thanks in advance

Is my Note3 soft bricked???

Hi guys been looking for solution for two days so decided to ask so here is my story.
I have a SM- N9005 international model rooted and running "Stock S5 origanal Rom" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771454. I had some problems with messaging so the network provider suggested I switch of my phone ,remove battery and sim card ,put all together again and that is where the problem started :crying:
1.When I turned the phone back on the phone semi wiped itself (Launcher was back to default settings but sms and contacts were still there) And tried other sim cards (Mine is working on 3 other phones.
2.The big problem is that the phone doesn't read the sim card no matter what I tried (Wiped and reinstalled Rom/Roms nothing all the same)
3.So decided to install stock Fimware with odin but still the same (doesn't read sim) but another strange thing happens,when I shut down phone it turns off then vibrates and turns itself back on
4.So I tried to do factory reset(settings>general>backup and reset) but no go the phone just turns off and on again without factory reset I have to go in to stock recovery to reset but it doesn't fix the shut down or the not reading sim issue :silly:
5.So was wondering if this is maybe a soft brick,witch would explain the not shutting down issue and maybe the sim? Or my sim reader is broken but that doesn't explain the shutting down issue?
6.Do anybody think I should try this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567133
7.Or have any other suggestions. Thanx in advance

Anyone??:crying::crying:

Phone Crashing after Samsung Logo

Hi guys,
I am having problems on my S7 Edge. The phone is stuck in a black screen and I tried restarting my phone by holding Volume Down + Power + Home for over a minute with no success. The phone is stock and rooted with TWRP and has been working fine for the last couple months. I tried plugging the power cable in and the battery screens shows up and I am able to restart my phone when the power is plugged in (battery over 80%). At this point it starts but after the Samsung logo appears it crashes again. I tried running the phone in safe mode but that did not work either. I am able to boot the phone into recovery mode and tried doing a Dalvik cache wipe. I get to the screen where Android is installing apps and after all apps got optimized it showed the home screen for about two seconds before crashing again.
After some more troubleshooting I took the sim card out and the phone is now running fine but whenever I put the sim card back in it crashes again. I tried turning airplane mode on and putting the sim card in which worked but once I turned airplane mode off it crashed again. My phone is Canadian version under Bell carrier. Just wondering if it is possible for a sim card to become corrupt and crash my phone like this? Are there any other areas I should check?
If anyone has some tips on what I can try it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Flash the latest Firmware using Odin by following this Tutorial step by step. Read everything at least once before you start the process!

Yes, it's possible for a SIM card, like anything else, to fail. Before messing with your factory software, I'd visit a carrier store and see if they'll let you try a different SIM.

V20 H990DS Does not detect sim card at all

So I got this model second hand with the seller stating clearly that the sim card didn't always get detected and he knew it from the first boot screen (LG with android logo) if it was very dim then it meant the sim card wouldn't be detected. He'd reboot a few times and then it'd work fine. I haven't had any success to make the sim work however and I think it must be a software issue. I flashed the latest Taiwan firmware with LGUP with no luck, tried bot upgrade and refurbish options. I also am not able at all to get into recovery mode to wipe cache to see if that solves anything. The dim logo appears and I do the button combo (Vol Down+Power then release and press Power again) but it keeps looping the dim logo screen, until I release the buttons and it boots up normally.
I'm out of options now. Maybe I'll try flashing the Vietnam firmware since the previous guy might have flashed the wrong firmware but I'm asking for any other suggestions.
Also, in the IMEI information both IMEI and IMEI SV are stated as Unknown.

Have you found a solution to this problem?

S7E bootloop

My S7E suddenly went into boot loop mode yesterday when I was driving and I cannot bypass it. It gets stuck on "showing S7 Edge - Powered by Android." screen.
I have tried the following:
-Enter ODIN mode and flash the official S7E ROM. Bought the phone as a EU model but using in UK. I flashed Nougat ROM of UK and France T-Mobile version. They all passed on Odin (windows) but they still came back to boot screen and stopped.
-Tried flashing Marshmallow version - same issue
-Smartswitch doesn't recognize the phone as plugged in.
I cannot seem to be able to get into wipe cache mode. (Tried to hold Vol Up+Home+Power buttons together before restarting).
I am kind of lost for options on what else to try.
Any suggestions please? TIA
