Guest DukeCroft Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Get blank screen after the G5 update. Flash sounds good until the end but after the reboot, Omnia never wake up. No Omnia screen anymore. When I plug the Omnia, no reaction under XP, no sound, nothing ! Officialy dead ? Omnia comes from Singapour with DXHG2 ROM. Updated with official DXHG4 without problem. Updated with unofficial DXHG1 PDA without problem. Wanted to put G5 ROM and H1 PDA after, but Omnia never wake up after flashing G5 ROM. I tried hard reset by pressing CALL and UNCALL button together and a pressure under the softreset but no reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 If you are at the black MONAHANS screen, I don't think there's anything that can be done to help. I assume that pressing reset when holding down the two front call buttons (the normal hard reset combo) does nothing? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 MONAHANS is the codename for the PXA320 CPU incidentally... so it's like it's back to some REALLY low level... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
