Omnia problems and solutions thread!!!

[nFiniti]

Stock rom. Stock apps. i910. Its not my phone. ITs a friends. They were never into the moding like we are. IT should be a slightly used stock Omnia with contacts and some video's and crap like that on the storage disc. Thats it.

All I know is he said he pressed the power button to pull it from sleep to make a phone call and the screen didn't turn on, and thre were no lights but he could hear the sounds. Then he did a soft reset to try to recover from it and it never turned back on. I've tried other batteries that are confirmed to work. I've tried plugging it to the charger without battery and with. USB doesn't do a thing. My other friends Omnia loads right up on the pc. This omnia does not. Its just a paper weight.

Also I've tried doing a master reset but not sure if I'm doing it right. Holding Snd and End and press the reset button. I've held the reset button... and other ways.

Have you tried doing a hard reset using the pinhole at the top of the unit?

1. Press reset pin button ONCE (do not hold)
2. Once you see the Samsung Omnia appears on the screen, immediately press the SEND and END key simultaneously
3. Then the screen appears asking you whether you are sure to format
4. Press SEND to format or END to cancel

(per Ishak at Modaco) good luck!
