Omnibrick help?

[Guest Nissan_350Z]

Okay.. i have 2 omnias.. aand.. well actually omnibricks. but i tried the samsung update (Official) and it hung and the red led went dim on my phone (yes on a full charge) and it isnt doing anything now. and my other one, i tried the iDoctors thing. and it said it was complete, but my omnia was stuck on a black screen, but the red LED is brighter on it atleast. but i have no clue how to possibly fix it. any help will be greatly greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Did you use the same usb cable on both? There have been cases of bad usb cables causing these problems. Also with the previous leaked ROM if you used USB 1.X it would also cause this.

no it was a different USB cable.. and are you serious?! i was like || close to going to the vista and doing it because it had 2.0 ports and would be faster. but yeah it was regular USB, i just thought the XP version would do better because i've always trusted XP more.. i really hope there's a fix for it.. thanks for replying ill be sure to watch this post :)

Your best bet is to stick with XP to avoid causing anymore damage. Try updating your USB drivers under XP and connect to only the back USB ports on your computer (not in a hub either), and as long as your MB supports it then it should be running under USB 2.0.

yeah.. i had it hooked to the back.. and this is an older HP vectra (like a 2005 model?) i made sure only the phone was hooked up to it.. and the phones.. they only come on with the red light and when hooked to the computer nothing happens.. unless like the light isnt on, then when i plug it up to the computer the light comes on.. would the rescue mode do anything at all for them? well the little emergency update thing? i've tried it but it keeps saying awaiting connection.. thanks :) i forgot to mention they are both i910's

The official verizon updater is designed to work on vista. The UMDL also works fine with vista. I would try to visit your local verizon store and see if they can force a flash if you cant get the updater to recognize the phone.

yeah i might have to resort to that, i hope they'll do it since the plan expired.. if not hopefully the samsung warranty will cover it?

thanks!

Well it is an official update and the samsung warranty is good for a year. I'd definitely get in contact with them if Verizon wont help. Good luck.
