Guest mackna Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 hey guys, me being my genious self decided i should debrand my new omnia, long story short, although the process said it had completed, the phone boots to a blank screen (no bootloader or anything) when i charge it the red light at the top still apears but when i turn it on the lights etc turn on but the screen stays blank, i've tried several times to re-flash but it allways gets to the downloading pda #1 bit and just hangs and the phone eventually turns itself off causing it to fail, the phone is detected on the computer as a "windows ce device" and more specifically as "samsung MITs USB sync" any chance anyone out their can help me, i've tried several frimwares (one actually shows the green bars on the phone) the other just keeps it blank and have tried via. the exe method and grandprix can anyone help me here?! :( What firmware have you tried?
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 umm i've tried dxhj1, dxhh1 through exe and i tried the firmware from the guide here: http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-h...hings-go-wrong/ for the grandprix

Guest mackna Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 cheers mate downloading as we speak, anything in particular this one has over the other or its just a jab in the dark? It´s old and the only firmware that made me go from a HongKong rom to a DZ ROM... xD, so it´s kind off just a jab in the dark xD. plz let me know if it worked
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 unfortunately it didn't, its frozen at the same downloading PDA #1 thing but suprisingly enough the bars on the phone have frozen at a different point

Have u tried any custom ROM? What firmware were u on before this happened?
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 nah havent tryed any custom (my knowledge on this stuff is very limited..) i was on the stock Vodaphone Live! firmware before this :(
Guest mackna Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) nah havent tryed any custom (my knowledge on this stuff is very limited..) i was on the stock Vodaphone Live! firmware before this :( Okej, u can try this ROM if u want, it´s a very good and up to date ROM. http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-r...rom-30-01-2009/ btw, have u enough battery charge in your device? Try to reinstall Samsung modem drivers and activesync. Can u post a screen-shot where it fails? If u are trying to update the ROM again:P Edited February 14, 2009 by mackna
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 seriously doubt its a issue of downloading another firmware but might aswell try, pritty sure it has enough battery :|
Guest mackna Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 seriously doubt its a issue of downloading another firmware but might aswell try, pritty sure it has enough battery :| Okej, I dont know what u can do else... Can u do a Hard reset?
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 Okej, I dont know what u can do else... Can u do a Hard reset? hard reset doesn't do anything (i do the hard reset and it just has the blank screen again)
Guest mackna Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 hard reset doesn't do anything (i do the hard reset and it just has the blank screen again) okej :( I guess u haft to send it in for repair =/
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 anyone else have any ideas? i know its fully charged now because the red light at the top has turned green
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 just tried a firmware update on another pc with no luck..
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 what do people think about the samsung service centres? seeing as it really just seems my bootloader is down the crapper, do you think they will re-flash the phone for me without a receipt? if they demand $$ how much do you think it would be?

The solution is available and is cheap. Check this thread: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=647156 You can find there all the informations needed.
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 cheers mate but your in romania.. im in australia, not worth the effort to send it out, out of interest could you tell me exactly what the issue is though and what must be done to repair it? (will make it easier for me to explain to samsung tomorrow)
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 just droped it off at a samsung repair centre, they said since i didn't have a receipt id have to pay for repairs (about 70AUD) which turns out to be about 30 Euro
Guest xPosTech Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Do you figure you're getting off easy? Or is it hitting you kinda hard? Just curious. Good luck. Ted
Guest abercrombi3 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 well just got a message from them saying its a major part faliure ie. mobo and it will cost $430 to fix... so id say i got ASSRAPED, not paying it though..
