[Q] Frozen start screen on Samsung Omnia7

Apologies for starting this thread but I've searched the WP7 forums before posting this.
Last night my phone battery died (as per normal with heavy use), when I plugged it into the charger later in the evening, it turned on and has remained frozen on the start screen "Samsung Omnia7" and doesn't load up as normal from there.
I've left it charging for a few hrs, so I know battery is ok, but everytime I turn it on, it's frozen on that screen.
I've tried a hard reset which takes literally 2 seconds before saying that it's done but then goes back to the same start screen and remains frozen.
Any ideas what to do?

Since you've already hard reset and lost your data, you could try flashing a new ROM from samfirmware.com.
There's a really good guide for doing this in the Omnia 7 forums:

Thanks for the suggestion, will give that a go.
Alternatively, I may just use my phone insurance and arrange a replacement through Orange.

Better get a replacement if can.

You could do that. Flashing would most likely void your warranty so may be worth trying to get a replacement first.

Managed to get a replacement from Orange this evening.
The mods can delete this thread if you want.
Also, just a quick note, connected it to Zune and the NoDo update is still not available unless I push through the method mentioned here on the forums.

[Completed] [Q] OnePlus One Boot Loop

My OPO is stuck in boot loop. It was not used for around 4 months so I think battery went too low below charge. I tried putting it on charge for 2 days. Still same. I sometimes get sign of "Battery too low. Charge before switch on" in Chinese & English. I raised a ticket they told me to install the software in fastboot but phone is not switching on so I cannot put it in fast boot to install those files. Then customer support told me to put it off charge for 12 hours and then charge for 6 hours, un-plug then plug for one hour or more and switch on but still it doesnt.
Now even customer support is not responding to my mails.
Kindly let me know what can I do to make it work.
P.S: I am not a geek so please tell me procedure which is easy to understand and can me done by anyone like me.

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I'm familiar with this device (I have one), and you've done everything that can be done in your situation. The only thing you can do now is continue harassing OnePlus support.
Good luck!

[Completed] HTC One M8s won't boot

Hey guys,
I've got a problem and since I'm not an expert I've got into a dead end.
I was trying to root my HTC One M8s. I managed to unlock the bootloader, but when I tried to flash a custom recovery (TWRP 2.7.0.2) it went completely black. Since then only reactions it has are the red LED is on, if I put it on charge the turned off charge screen comes on. And if I try to hold the power button and volume down, after 10 seconds it goes black again, even the red LED, like it tries to reboot, but it after that it only goes back to the charging screen if it's on charge or only the red LED if it isn't. I can't install factory image, because the computer won't recognize the device.
Do you, guys have any suggestion or is it completely bricked?
Any answer is appreciated!

The PC didn't even recognized it, like nothing would be plugged-in.
But eventually, I found the solution. I share it, maybe it's gonna be useful for someone in the future.
I had to take the whole phone apart, which was quite an experience, considering the built of the phone. But there are some guides out there.

Detach the battery, wait a couple seconds and then reattach it again, push the power button and it was like nothing happened. Except the battery was on 5% what was odd because I was trying to charge the whole previous night!
Anyway, it is a happy end!
Thanks for the advice, though.
Cheers!

[Completed] Need Help for LG G Pro 2

I have a Lg G Pro 2. Few days back it got bricked by its own( a crazy fact). That time it was showing QHSUSB_BULK. I figured it out as 9006. Took the phone to a local service shop. Today I got it back and found that nothing had happened to the phone, expect worse. Now it is not detected by PC, only green light blinks for some time if tried to power on. And then everything is black and cold as death.
I think it have been flashed with wrong ROM. Anybody here can guide me with the test points of Lg G Pro 2 (D838 F350) ? So that I can force it to QHSUSB_BULK ? Or any step by step advice to get it up ?
I am in real need of assistance, and thanks in advance for any sort of help. Best Regards.

I would like to mention that the phone indicator blinks for sometime if I try to power it on, as it does on boot, but nothing else is there. No recognition by PC, no presence in Device Manager. Blinks for sometime, stops, again starts blinking... and this goes on at regular short intervals. The area around the camera gets warm after sometime. Everything loops till I pull off battery.
Now, am I missing something ? Is the problem not as deadly as I am thinking ? Is it soft bricked ?

Phone froze - is it dying?

Hi.
I'm trying to find out if my phone might be dying on me or if it just had a bad one-time crash.
I have a Galaxy S7 (not rooted) that has had no issues for about one and a half years.
Yesterday, after I closed a piano app and a bit later went back to my phone, the screen wouldn't turn on, and the phone was frozen. None of the buttons did anything to make the phone usable again, and no display or light features did anything. I held the power key without success. I plugged the phone into a charger, and no light came on although the charger seemed to recognize that something was plugged in.
Someone else was able to find the shortcut to force reboot the phone (hold Power and Volume Down for 10-20 seconds), and that finally did it.
However, it seemed to me that the reboot took considerably longer than usual - the desktop icons would not show up for about 10 seconds, and many apps would open but not display any of their data for again 10-20 seconds. After a while, everything seemed to work again, but I'm worried.
So far today, the phone seems to be working normally. I just used Helium to create a backup of my app data, and it made my phone really warm - although that could be normal for Helium.
I typically don't restart the phone often, maybe once or twice a month. I leave it on and charging overnight.
In your experience and estimation, is it possible that my phone may be close to dying, or is it likely an app just crashed catastrophically and froze the phone?
Any thoughts on what could have happened, and should I prepare for getting a new phone, or is there something else I can try to check if the phone is still alright?
Thanks!
