[Q] Samsung I8700 Omnia 7 blocked at startup

---

HELP my Samsung Omnia 7 GT-I8700, works only in download mode (power + camera button + volume up) if I try to do (power + volume down + camera button) I see the word format so fast. - And restarts with the message that flashes omnia7 samsung. I tried to put many different rom but when making the first reboot hangs forever ....


thanks in advance

probably memory problem that the some Omnias are known to experience, send it to Samsung for a warranty repair.

I'm afraid that You have a "dead boot". I don't know how You did it, but for today nobody knows how to repir it. Even using a RIFF Box... So it could be a difficult mission. Tell us what have You done with it?

Warranty is the ONLY solution. eMMC chip fried.

has restarted by itself, has remained with the words that flashed omnia 7. -
I'll bring in assitance, I think it's the only way.

It is common with sammy's memory chips to die out of the blue. Most of the times the EMMC chip just gives and it's done, sometimes the the internal mem hangs. There's no way to recover. I suspect it's HW issue induced by faulty Sammy drivers, it's been reported to affect some Android phones running leaked ICS also.
Also, maybe it's a downfall of the way WP7 handles physical mem. It only occurs when flashing or updating through hard reset. It's the eMMc that is only used then to format, partition and so on. There were a lot of hardbrick on the first WP7 update so all leads to Sammy.
Sadly, the only option is MB swap. As the Omnia7 is a late 2010 model, all the phones are covered by warranty. Just call a SC and when they ask you about the receipt, tell them that they should consider the date of mfg as the date when the device was made-they know that by the IMEI.

I have asked for the assistance received, without the receipt I have to pay 150 €.
I bought on ebay omnia 7 with a broken glass € 50, I replaced the glass with mine. I have a 7 omnia omnia that works and a 7 by throwing with broken glass and faulty memory.
