I think I bricked my Omnia ): - Omnia II ROM Development

Hey guys,
When I bought my Omnia 2 with WM 6.1 on it, it worked great but when I went and installed the stupid PC studio software that came with the phone I tryed to update and now my phone has either a thing saying
"DOWNLOAD MODE!
Do not turn off.
It takes about 10 minuites."
or it will have a symbol of a phone connecting to a "!" next to a computer symbol.
I can no longer use this phone if anyone can help me it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

hahaha to funny bricked means it no longer turns on meaning you don't even get the download mode. its just like a useless brick. But anyways to the problem at hand, there is only one way to brick the omnia and that is if you flash the eboot which you have not done since it still works and turns on.
Unplug from USB cable and turn it of and/or take out the battery. Put the battery back in and plug it into your PC and try to update it with PC studio and see if it works it should not have an issue. Repeat the steps if it fails but this time start PC studio first and then plug in the omnia and see if that works.
If all else fails you need to get OCTANS and download the official firmware for your region or a custom firmware if you want. I'm assuming you have a I8000 which OCTANS is used to flash don't know if that is the case with other omnia 2 as well. Visit this site and look for OCTANS and all the firmware you need. Since you are flashing anyways i would recommend you flash JD3 ROMS so you have the latest. Either go official ROM or go Lite i myself am using tw2 lite ROM.

I went to that site and nothing on there says anything about "OCTANS" so could you possibly give me a link of some sort to what I need.
I've tried running PC Studio on XP and Vista with no luck on getting the computer to even see the phone anymore so I've just about given up on the whole thing.

Here is the Octans Downloader's latest version. Just run it (If you are using Windows Vista or 7, set compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2), select the appropriate parts in various slots, click Detect Device and then turn off and plug your phone into usb cable. It will detect the phone, then just press Start and wait for the process to complete.
In addition to these steps, you might also need to update activesync drivers and install Samsung CDMA Modem drivers if you are using Windows 7 or Vista. For more details, see this thread :
http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610-omnia-pro-b7610-modaco-com/299070/tut-flashing-rom-using-octans/
I hope you get back your phone soon!
Good luck and Cheers!

same problem - cannot flash: the phone is stuck with an image of a mobile device, a pc, and a (!) sign in between.
unable to hard reset, unabe to flash - octan does not detect the phone...
any chance to save my phone?

1. get the ROMs from modaco site.
2. Start Octans and follow the ROM update guide in modao.
3. Click detect in Octans.
4. Power off phone (remove battery and insert back in ur case).
5. connect phone to PC/laptop (do not use any usb hub).
6. u shd see the download button becomes ungrey. click it to flash.

the download button remains grey......

what OS are u using?
If it's vista or win 7 and whether it is 32bit or 64bit.
The solutions are at modaco.

i read modaco.
the device is stuck: when i turn it on, the screen shows only one image:
an image of a mobiel device, a pc, and in between a (!) sign.
cannot hard reset device, cannot do anything.
am using vista, and followed all protocol from modaco (first time was able to flash - thats how the device got bricked).
octans (or the pc) does not detect the device when i connect it to the - that is the problem...

OK I now have installed the CDMA drivers and i'm running OCTANS in XP SP2 mode what OS should I download to use with the phone and how big will it be?
Thanks so much for the help guys.

And btw is there any versions that will keep the samsung virtual keypad and things like that (not the damn cube though)?

like i menchioned get a lite ROM I use tw2 ROM's Garys are good to. I like tw2 ROM because they are totally stipped ROMS except for samsung dialer and SMS and he gives cabs of all the apps so people can restore what they use. Garys is also very nice lite ROM with the basic apps that mainly everyone uses. Its your choice really what you want you can install the JD3 stock ROM as well, but why? when these lite ROM's giuve you more RAM.
As for drivers you may need to search on the site i don't have the links because there are new updated drivers for windows 7 which should work on vista too. When using octans make sure to hit detect and then plug in the phone (phone must be off) then click start. You only need to flash the PDA unless other parts messed up during the update, you won't know till you flash.
Driver installation:
1.) Turn off Phone
2.) Plug into PC
3.) Let it install the default drivers
4.) Go into device manager
5.) Go under the phone menu
6.) Update drivers and follow the steps and when asked which location point to the driver you just downloaded.

flash i8000
PROBLEM-HEPL pls..
cannot flash: the phone is stuck with an image of a mobile device, a pc, and a (!) sign in between!

how to rescue from bootloader ??? help ??

hi
guys i am newbie in upgrading and tried to run athena wraper and it died and after searching forums i still cant find cure ok so here it is i can do hard reset but it dosent help no boot up it still gives me ring round joystick good news is i can get it to bootloader screen (or at least thats what i think ) its red green blue and white screen with usb or serial (depending on cable )
screen reads
ATHE100
IPL-V0.90
ATHE100
SLP-V1.20.Olipro
now can any one help me ??
how can i upgrade rom with out device being detected by active sync every time i run upgrade utility it just comes up with connection error
still no luck
hi
still no luck
do i need special drivres to detect device if its in bootloader ?
it dosent show any thing in device manager when i connect it while its in boot loader
on running upgrade utility it comes back with error 260 connection error saying cannot find device (i am stuck in bootloader)
any advices ??
please help !!!!
The fact that you can still enter the bootloader means that it is not bricked, so first advice would be, as is so well presented in the Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Don't Panic".
Enter bootloader without any SD Card or SIM left in the Athena.
Then, plug it to the USB port, and see if it goes from "serial" to "usb".
Then try to flash first the Black Dual PK ROM available on the forum (in the WM6 section), or an official ROM available from the Wiki, for instance.
hi
tried to flash it with both and came out with same error
260 connection cant find device
and i cant even see any changes in devicemanager but it dose goes serial to usb when i connect
and my pc is not detecting the device (just like that depressed robot from hich hikers guide to galaxy )
Do you have Windows XP or Vista ?

xp (pc i am trying to upgrade i also have vista on other pc which i havent tried yet should i try that ?)
nop no luck in vista ether same error still no connection
both pc have netframework 2
activesync in xp and mobiledevice center in vista
but after connecting device nothing happens in device manager there is no new device
(could it be beacouse of faulty cable? )\\(noi have tryed 2 different cable )
is it worth getting cradle ??
No no. I think the problem comes from the flash utility that requires that the Athena be detected prior to flashing.
I know that with the Universal, some flashing utilities could force flashing when connecting the device already in bootloader mode...
So there must be an easy way to bypass the device detection and go on with the flash process. I'll try and find out, and maybe one of the gurus will cruise by and find it for ya in the meantime.
In the meantime, don't freak out and be patient. Your Athena's not bricked, probably the ROM that's screwed up. We only need to find a way to do that exclusively from the bootloader (chich I know is possible, that's the whole point of the bootloader ).

Hi
Try a hard reset ( Volume down+reset) and then get into the boot loader(Camera+reset~10seconds) then flash the PK dual rom. Don't panic, Your athena is hard spl patched therefore not bricked. If that not works down load the exact official rom for your device flash that then flash the PK dual rom. try Redownload the rom again.
Good luck

hi
thankes i think u understood the problem it is utility which fails before even starting beacouse of no connection see if u can find any thing
and yes i tryed hard reset and then tryed to flash with project black rom and i have downloaded latest t mobile rom from oficeal website but as i said before it fails with connection error it starts up and box says ''verifying information on your pda fone please wait'' and minut later it comes up with error 260 connection error '' please check following
1 your pdafone is connected to usb cable /cradle
2 usb cable connected to pc
(wich is basicly same if you try to nrun upgrade with out connectind pda )
(and yes i have tryed it with 2 different cables and it dose change from serial to usb)
some ting intrestin i foun in orignal update utility faq
 ERROR [260] : CONNECTION
This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.
Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.
is possible because device is in bootloader ?
or am i doing some ting wrong?
Reboot your PC, make sure you are not using a USB hub, try it with each USB port on the PC.

good idea but dident work after 4 on board ports and 2 hub ports no joy at all
by looks of it upgrade utility is trying to read info from my device and could be failing for 2 reasons
1 it is not detecting device
2 info in pda is corrupted and could not get any info from device
well thats my theory but not really sure any suggestions??
Is your PC running XP or Vista? I got the impression reading the post that XP machine works better in unlocking. I think the info was posted by Olipro himself if my memory is right.

all i want to find out is dose device needs any drivers or dose it gets detected if device is in bootloader ?
if thats the the case i dont see any new devices in xp devicemanager
No no, it doesn't. Couldn't find it for Athena, but don't have much time lately, alas.
Maybe you should PM one of the gurus asking how to flash a ROM straight from bootloader without having the device detected by WinXP. I believe there's a small, easy manipulation to make, but can't remember it for the life of me. :-S

i found this in wiki and first three posts are empty but followed the procedure and downloaded all three roms and still no joy error
''Problems using the Athena Unlocker - the Black Screen of Death
Using The Athena Unlocker tool (developed by Olipro) is a 3-stage process. Most users get through the first stage but as they start stage 2, get a black screen where their device becomes unresponsive and so cannot proceed with the unlocking. See these posts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=169 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=176 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=226
It is always recommended that you first take out your MiniSD card. You can then follow the instructions below.
* Get one of the ROMs in this link and extract it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314672
* Get your device into bootloader (the three-colour screen; You can get there by pressing the Camera key + Volume key + Soft Reset at the same time)
* Connect your device to your PC (even if the PC shows no sign of recognising it, it does) and the SERIAL shown on the screen of your device will change to USB)
* Hit the ROM Upgrade Utility and upgrade your device.
* Once the upgrade is completed, configure your device (Calibrate screen, set time zone, etc).
* Now continue with the Unlocker, to the end.
It is important to complete the unlocker to the end or else you will miss out on flashing your radio, with a common symptom of your gps not working.
Good Luck and enjoy your improved device!

now i am still stuck will it make any difference if i try it in different xp pc other then the one i started the process ?(and screwed it up)
Please ensure all software firewall or IP filtering apps are turned off then reboot the PC. After rebooting, confirm the apps are not running and blocking anything. If you are unsure, then try it from a freshly installed XP.
Put the device in Bootloader mode and try it again.

good idea
i have already tryed with firewalls and virus protection off but doing it in fresh xp might just work small question do i need to install active sync or is it not needed (any way ill try both first without and then with )
ill report back in about 3 hours (i know i am sad and havent got a life but its worth a try )
Yes, the wiki confirms what I thought but didn't voice out loud as yet (I was sure about it for the Universal, but not for the Athena): the upgrade utility doesn't *require* that it be Activesynced. That's, as I'd said, te whole point of the bootloader.
If you still have problems uploading the new ROM to your Athena after following the wiki thing, then it *does* mean that there is some external factor playing dirty, so the firewall to check (and some anti-virus software also scan network connections) indeed is a good idea.
Keep us posted, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Help! My Atom Pure stuck in 'Update Utility' and not able to sync!

I'm using Vista to flash 'PDAVIET_ROM_WM61_OS20765_ATOM_Sonblack' but I was disconnected from Windows Mobile Device Center. Now my Atom cannot reset, cannot sync and STUCK with message 'Update Utility'!
Please help me to get back my Atom!
Thank you so much!
Use rec + camera + reset button.
In DM mode choose Exit DM.
weird! it works on winXP but not in Vista!
anyone know why?
Lots of things could be causing your problem. Here are some things for you to try:
1. MOST IMPORTANT: Make sure that you plug your device directly into the computer. Do not plug the device into a USB hub or other device. If you are using a laptop, do not plug the device into USB ports in your docking station. More technically, make sure that the port you are using is a Root USB device, not a Generic USB one. This make quite a difference in Vista, because locking your computer or having a UAC prompt while you are connected to a generic USB device seems to interrupt the connection.
2. Make sure that you have "Advanced Network Funcationality" enabled.
2. Make sure that you have the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista). If you are using Vista, the current version is 6.1. This version has some updated drivers that seems to help immensely with stability.
3. If you are using Vista, make sure you have all the latest OS updates installed. There was a Windows Update sometime back in November of 2007 that fixed some serious bugs in the USB drivers in Vista.
4. If you have Windows Firewall Client for ISA installed, do a search on the Microsoft website for possible problems with interactions between ActiveSync/WMDC and the firewall client.
Hope this helps.

You must be careful with connection whenever you flash your rom. Never disconnect when the process is still going on.
This is what I think you should do to try to rescue your Atom.
1. Make sure that your Atom can really communicate with your PC. As long as they show that they're connected is ok.
2. Flash that rom again. This time please make sure that there will be no disruption on the connection. Don't disconnect while the process is going on or you'll have a high chance of transforming your Atom into a toy.
You have to follow the instruction and wait until the end of the process. I've flashed many roms without any single problem.
3. You better flash using direct connection. Don't flash from your SD but directly from your PC.
Hope this helps!

How to upgrade XDA II?

Hi!
My friend bought an XDA II and he wants to upgrade it from WinMo 2003. How can he do it?
I searched the forum, but couldn't find any topic describing the process.
Can someone help us?
the
readme.txt included in the rom zips describe what to do step by step
Upgrading the xdaii rom
Hi ClioRS
Just upgraded my xda 11 last month and new to all this so and ittook me weeks to find out what to do and how to do it, and i have been in it for 20 years/////. So thought i would shorten your searching time.
As I said I am new to all this but a good rom is the wm 6.1 Dark Lord by xda developer "ATHER".
I have been using it for a month now and its very stable, (I will have to donate some £ to him).
When you download the RAR file from his thread, shown at the bottomof this message. All the instructions are zipped into the RAR, as well as all the upgrade files.
Please find Athers upgade "Newbie instructions" below. Takes about 30 minutes to clean and upgrade the Rom.
Ather's Newbie instructions:
Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading ROM Image, please wait....',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Detach your device from the cradle.
Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
I have included Athers instructions above because I know I was lost and took me two weeks to find and understand what was going to happen to my beloved phone.
Athers Dark lord link....is

Hey there, i am new to all this so bare with me and help if you can pls. I am trying to update my xda ii to wm 6 as per link.

you also need Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 installed on your computer and the HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe does not get on with vista or windows 7 xp sp3 is the best [can be run on x32 bit vista but needs some playing about with the drivers]once you have got it installed restart computer then follow the above instructions.

Hi. I'm having trouble, I was just trying to upgrade my girlfriends XDA II from my Windows7 pc without realizing it wouldn't work. The XDA now only shows "USB v1.01". And the upgrade utility fails to connect to it. I have access to a pc with Vista 32bit. Do you know what it is that needs doing to the drivers to make it work on Vista 32bit?
Any help would be much appreciated.

[Q] HTC TITAN the problem of detecting

Hi, first of all I would like to apologize for my English.
After installing this ROM dynamics7 2.0 ZUNE longer detect my phone. I tried to reset the phone but it did not work. The USB cable is definitely good because he installed the ROM.
I tried different roms but it did not work. Trying on another computer or do not give. The phone is not detected by the Zune. mistake can be seen in the computer drivers. the system can not retrieve them. I will add that the installation of Roma do not have any problems.
What could it be?

Restart the device in bootloader mode and look for the word "serial" to change to "USB". If so, you have a connection to your PC

I think that when I go into a different mode vol-+ power zune starts but displays an error (the device can not be restored to a previous version)
Of course, before installing custom roms I did not have this problem.

Zune is the latest version from the download of microsoft (4.8.2345.0). zune is installed on Windows 8 I would add that before the original ROM (before flashing custo rom) everything worked. I tried on another computer without success. I have uploaded a clean Tango, without effect.

I've inserted a correction here...I restarted by device in bootloader mode and plugged it into my laptop; Zune did not start; however, the letters "USB" do appear in the center-bottom. Rest of post remains the same...You may view your device from your PC's File/Windows Explorer by changing 3 zune driver entries via your PC registry editor and when the device is on wi-fi, you may also view other folders that are on your windows phone. My PC is running Windows 8 Professional. It is important to check if your computer and its drivers are compatible with what you're attempting to do. I don't use Zune for my multi-media copying to and from my device. I use the professional version of Windows for it's easier compatibility such was WMDC 64-bit. I don't pretend to know whether I get, don't get, have or do not have your problem; what I do know is leave no stone unturned; double check everything on your PC for compatibility...are all your drivers updated for example. I have an older 32-bit Dell Inspiron E-1505 I upgraded to 4 GB RAM and upgraded it from XP to Windows 7 Enterprise Edition (not Home Premium) and from time to time whether it was my device or my Win 8 PC; sometimes they wouldn't play nice, thus I have the same setup on my Win 7 machine and if that didn't work; pull out my Hiren's Boot Mini XP Thumb drive and enjoy some old school computing; maybe I don't get it, where I'm from, we call it Plan B...improvise!

I tried on windows 7 pro 64 bit and win 7 home premium. It did not work. In bootloader mode to install the drivers successfully but the Zune does not detect the phone in this mode. Including the phone in normal mode, the driver installation error pops up device not recognized. Zune without the driver does not detect the phone. Previously the phone was detected under the name HTC Titan X310 is now htc eternity.

I'm running Windows 8 Pro on my desktop; both WMDC and Zune will run when I plug my Titan into the laptop; by that I mean I'm at my Start Menu and Tiles; not Bootloader or USB Host Mode. I know that because the HTC Titan appears twice in my File Explorer on my laptop. Though my device is HSPL, I did restart my device in bootloader mode and plugged it into my laptop; it did not start Zune but it did read USB center-bottom. I may in due time get me another Titan I to play with but there's no way I'm risking my device to any further experimentation now that she's unlocked all the way and running 7.8 and runs as smooth as a baby's butt.

This may or may not help...I don't have my W8 laptop with me now...but there is an option in Windows that lets Windows search for the driver through WIndows Update...and it will automatically install it from the internet?
Is windows update checked to automatically search and download / install new updates?

Did not you guys try to play with USB to Video function? If yes - switch it off and reboot.

It's not possible. Windows does not recognize the phone. Install different ROM and nothing. Even on a clean TANGO same

I've never used the Dynamic ROMs but I can't stand using Zune so I tweaked my registry to make my Titan visible via Windows/File Explorer, I'm curious as to whether any of you with this problem can connect your devices to the developer tools with Windows Phone 7.x for side loading apps.

[Q] USB device not recognised

When I plugin my Lumia 920 to a Win8 64bit PC I get an error 'USB device not recognised'. I've tried the following but with no luck:
- Changed the USB cable
- Tried a different USB port including one on the back
- Used a different PC (Win8 32bit & OSX on a MBP)
- Restarted the phone whilst connected
- Checked for Updates with the phone connected (both on phone and PC)
- Removed the 'Upperfilters' registry entry
- Installed the Windows Phone 8 app (both desktop and metro)
- Installed the Nokia PC Suite
- Reinstalled Windows
- Reset the phone (Factory restore)
The phone seems to charge ok via USB but never connects. It doesn't even appear in Device Manager so there's no drivers for me to remove and/or update. The EventLog says 'PnPDriverNotFound'. Anyone got an idea of what could be wrong?
@MrJamesMoore
Is your phone a true Lumia in the respect that it has a factory ROM and is not a developer model or other? Sounds to me like the PC is not able to identify the phone as a Lumia and does not know what it actually is and therefore does not know what driver to load for it.
Hmmm, this is interesting...
U might want to try installing Nokia Care Suit. After instllation complete go to the installation folder, and head to the Drivers directory. U have several drivers there, install everything, and then try to connect it.

Yes that's what I was thinking. It was a promotional phone so maybe it's not a factory ROM? Is there a way to check? I guess more importantly, is there a way to install a factory ROM on it? I'm located in Australia if that matters. Everything else about the phone works great but not being able to transfer my full res videos off it is a pain.
Thanks for the reply!

That didn't work either but thanks for the suggestion. Even with all the drivers installed the PC (and Care Suite) still can't see the phone; still get the USB not recognised error
Without being able to connect in anyway I guess it's impossible to flash the phone any put another ROM on?
Hmmpfff...
It is not a developer phone because they didn't have GSM radio in them, WiFi only. So that is out of the question.
I have one more suggestion, and if that fails, I would suggest u go to Nokia directly and ask what to do, maybe even a replacement.
So, try to find some1 with Win7 on his/her PC, and try to connect the phone. If that goes as it should,u can install win7 on ur PC and have a dual boot machine.
To check the info about ur phone u would have to connect it to Nokia Care Suit, however, that is not an option ATM.
