Guest Gurkan58 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Hello guys, first of all sorry for my English. I've got my Samsung Omnia 4 days ago as a gift and I was very happy with it, I was reading forums about the Samsung Omnia and I saw many people saying that there Samsung Omnia was being better after an upgrade. I was thinking to make an upgrade too. So i went to the official Samsung Mobile website and made the upgrade. Then the programm said start the device manually/on demand. So I did, but there happened nothing just a blank screen. So I pulled in panic the USB cable out and tryed to starting the phone by the power button but no response from the phone. Only the red power button was on. And now my Samsung Omnia is bricked :-(! I'm reading now for 3 days on the internet for how to unbrick my Samsung Omnia. But I couldn't find things that helped. I red many topics in this forum and I didn't found here either something that can help. Is there something that I can put on a MicroSD card and reboot it? Please guys, help me!
Guest carlomagno1978 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 make sure you have a Pc with windows XP, download any of the wonderful ROMS in this site, install de omnia drivers for Xp, install activesync, make sure ur system recognize ur omnia, execute the ROM, soft reset and then click on START!
Guest Gurkan58 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Q: are you using windows vista? No, I'm using Windows XP.

That's the part of the problem, my system doesn't recognize mine Samsung Omnia.
Guest defaultBR Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 but in the first try, it updated the omnia? 100%? hmm maybe you bricked already =(!!!
Guest Gurkan58 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 but in the first try, it updated the omnia? 100%? hmm maybe you bricked already =(!!! Uhh I think so it said put your device on. So I did but nothing did happen :).. What do you mean maybe you bricked already?
Guest qbus Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Uhh I think so it said put your device on. So I did but nothing did happen :) .. What do you mean maybe you bricked already? If you have installed Samsung Drivers and after connecting phone to computer, starting flash application and pressing POWER ON on Omnia for about 3-4 seconds UPDATE button does not enable then the answer is yes - you have bricked your phone and the only solution is to send it to service (with proper flash device fix is easy).

Yes I know that my phone is bricked.. My PC doesn't recognize it and when I'm pressing POWER ON the red led light is lightning but nothing happens on screen. My question was if there was something to unbrick my phone.. Maybe by put something in a MicroSD memorycard from another phone and then put it in my Samsung Omnia. I red something like that but I don't know for sure how to it.
Guest Th3rmal Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Im pretty sure the only way to unbrick it is to send it back to a Samsung repair centre. Although you said that its been about a week since youve gotten it, so you might still have your initial warranty which allows you to exchange your phone over the counter from where you bought it.
Guest elhamy201 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 make sure that samsung modem driver is installed , otherwise your omnia will not be recognized
Guest monyozt Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 try to upgrade to different PC(suggest using laptop) make sure u running on XP(better if sp2) install microsoft active sync(form CD or you can google it) install samsung modem driver then restart your PC make sure no active usb port except your data cable for omnia.. start upgrade... it will work...
Guest ronaldb3 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Yes I know that my phone is bricked..

Maybe by put something in a MicroSD memorycard from another phone and then put it in my Samsung Omnia. I red something like that but I don't know for sure how to it. G--, If you do have access to another omnia, I saw a post long ago where it said to start update with other omnia to get pc attention. Then change phone before starting download. Good luck, Ron...
Guest hinder Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 If there is only the red led and nothing else its bricked. Nothing can be done just take it to the shop and they will probably repair it under warranty atleast in my country they do i bricked it with an unoffical rom and they still repaired without any question gl mate

No, there is no other option then sending it to service (authorized or not - it has to have proper box to upload new bootloader and flash firmware).
