I started to put android onto Samsung Omnia SGH i900, it powered off during it. Boot screen came up the first time, now it has a right light. How can software reset this phone. I would be happy to send to anybody to fix it for us, as I know there is a expensive JTAG cable that could resolve the issue..
Please help this was for my daughter , when she walks to school
Hi, I didn't see a section specifically for active users. I hope I didn't overlook it.
I recently sent my phone off to the Samsung repair center in Plano, Texas. I cracked the glass around the camera and wanted to get it replaced. Well, when they sent me my phone back, it's stuck in some kind of factory binary mode. It says factory binary when booting up. IDK what that means, but it looks like some kind of testing mode. You can test all kinds of features, sounds etc. I sat on the phone with Samsung for an hour, and they couldn't figure it out. I pretty much can't use the phone in this mode, only testing. I can access my settings. I tried factory resetting about five times already. Nothing is working. I really don't want to have to send it off to them again.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me.

Best option is to bring your S6 Active back to Samsung for back job repair.
This S6 crashed on the floor, the back cover is destroyed and it doesn't boot, well it start with the Samsumg logo as usual, but after that black screen and blue led.
I tried everything hard reset in recovery mode and i reflashed the firmware, but nothing.
I disassembled it looking for some visible damage on the mobo but nothing.
thanks

First of all you should try to flash your device to STOCK ROM using odin.
If it doesn't work, I think you should take to your to your nearest SAMSUNG Customer Care Center.

Hi Tahmidul,
I did it, but it didn't worked.
I'm pretty sure it's some IC failure due to the crash, this kind of behavior is not unusual on Sams phone.
SAMSUNG Customer Care Center, they wouldn't waste a minute to understand the problem, they will only change the mobo. And the price is crazy.
thanks
By crash, do you mean it was thrown to the ground?? That's a bummer tho. For the price your gonna pay to fix that you might as well get a new one. I got an s6 that was run over by a truck, the screen was destroyed but it still boots can connect to a PC and receive calls/messages. Didn't bother fixing it just bought the s6 edge

Hi, i dont know if anyone can help me here but i have a water damaged Samsung Galaxy s6 and i need the pictures off it ASAP. Luckily i work in a repair shop so i have taken apart the phone and cleaned it and everything seems to work other than the screen and the sound. I have looked online and seen that the screens are well over the £100 so i am not willing to spend the money. All i need is the pictures of it.
Samsung Kies recognizes the device but either says failed to connect to the device or just keeps saying connecting i have all my ADB drivers and stuff so I'm looking for a way i may be able to access the photos using commands for example.
Any help is great as I'm stuck at the moment.
Thanks, Shaun
Hi I have just bought an s7 which turned out to be a Korean G930L but I cant get any response out if it apart from the 2 bottom leds and and the blue one. No response from trying to get into recovery or download mode, basically a black screen though it does vibrate on what i think is start up. It is found by pc and Odin and charges ok, I can tell as I can see properties on pc. But no other response. Is it possible that the previous owner tried to root it using non korean rom or TWRP? Any advice on how to fix either getting TWRP on or screen to light up. I am sorry for being so vague I have pulled it apart and checked all of the connections, screen, motherboard etc but nothing. Odin sees the phone but I am not sure if I am in Download mode so wont flash, as cant see screen.
Or chuck it out or put back on eBay.

Your phone's display screen has a problem , sadly you have to replace the display screen. Go to the nearest samsung service center.
Thanks it isnt worth it I will just sell it on ebay. I have been able to get to some of the screens [though still black] as it talks to me in Korean and the screen is giving haptic feedback so aspects of it are alive still. I am wondering now if someone has tried to ROOT it and semi bricked it or turned off the display internally. The other night night no matter what I pushed it vibrated and answered me with the same korean statement. I am trying to get into Recovery Mode without a screen and flash it without a screen but proving frustrating, maybe samsung dealer can reflash it with needing a screen.

It's not a software issue, there must be water damage or display is broken/went off for some other reason.
I had this same issue with my note 5, I was able to hear everything, touch key and notification lights were on too, that time my note 5 was accidentally dropped by me. So 99% your display is broken. Simply go to service center and get a quote, but display will cost same as used s7. Try to get after market screen.
ok thanks for the advice, i will head to them after the xmas break
