I have got a new Samsung i780 from HongKong. It is brand new and is unlocked. When i put the sim and start, it starts normally first time and then when it reaches where it starts to search network, it shuts down and restarts. It keeps on happening. So i cant use the phone at all. This is what i did
1. I hard resetted the phone ---> Same problem.
2. I disabled the phone (flight mode) --> it works normally like a PDA
3. I have flashed the italian ROM (Complete) ---> it fails at 58%
PHONE-Waiting for erasing CODE area...
PHONE-Erasing CODE area complete...
PHONE-Writing failed at 58.
4. I loaded the phone part of PDXHL2 ROM - still keeps the loop of restart. what the heck i am clueless.
4. As its working normally when its in flight mode, i think its a radio issue. But not sure whether its hardware or software. Please help. I am very disapointed. By the way i am using this phone in MEXICO with a telcel SIM. for the 10 secs its showing the todays menu, i can see it has recognized the network and give full signal. But loop of rebooting continues. Please help.
Update to the problem
All. Additionally i tried putting the Russian ROM (Phone part). Now there is this new problem. The loop restart has stopped. Phone shows complete signal. But i am not receiving any call nor being able to make call. If i try making a call, nothing happens. i mean it keeps displaying dialing.... i cant even disconnect the call (anyway the call does not go through. Please help.

Hello,
I have problem - When I turn on my BA and field for PIN entering appears I enter my PIN code and click OK and then it does not go further it just still stuck on PIN entering screen. When I put another Sim Card on my phone wich dont have PIN protection its just No Service I have no idea what is going on, please help me.
Edit: some info: I didint checked it on WM2003 because when I bought phone I instantly installed WM6 because I'm buying and resseling phones and this never happened before. I also upgraded radio to 1.15 but still no changes.
The same occurred to me today, my phone freezed while I was typing an e-mail, so I pushed the reset button. After booting (TNT wm6) and pressing the unlock code, my phone freezed.
Sometimes it allows me to enter my pin (4 digits), sometimes I can only enter one or just nothing.
When I tried with another SIM it worked.. I'm at home now and I tried to boot without a SIM, but it still freezes after the unlock code.
I'm thinking of flashing my phone back to the original firmware to check if that solves the problem. The only problem is that I’ll lose all my messages. I don't care much about the Calendar and contacts, since I sync with exchange..
Anyone has a solution other than flashing a new OS?
Phone model: i-mate K-Jam
jupieee i fixed it i just had to downgrade to wm2003 and then enter unlock code. dont know why it didint worked on wm6 and wm5
probably a flash gone bad. or another GSM/3G Band conflict...
Read my thread about no phone/ no service here... some pointers may help
I know how to do
Just use the stick press the reset hole when the screen is made of four color after you have changed the battery.
I recently re-flashed my i900 with a new rom, and in the process i messed it up horribly. I got it into Pocket PC Version, and from there loaded the Phone version on, and from there the Wi-Fi and BT will work, but the Phone will not. It says anytime i try to text or do something phone-specific "The phone is Off, Would you like to turn it on? (Yes Button) (No Button)" I tap yes, and nothing happens, i try to turn it on through the communications manager, and it loads, and does nothing.
I have tried almost every rom i can find that could fix this. Anybody have something that could work? I am just in need of the phone stack
you might have to hard reset once to flush anything hanging out there! figure out how to hard reset an omnia....might help
please assist me my phone after I re flash to 6.5 now show PHONE OFF PDA NO PROBLEM BUT PHONE CAN NOT USE . PLEASE HELP ME

I have same problem. I flashed friends i900 (de language) into ENG, but now phone doesn't recognize SIM card. In sys info, i got PDA no radio or whatever it is. Some user say that i need JTAG. Is anything possible to do without that hw JTAG.
Hi, i have a problem with my phone i could not find any solution online.
Two days ago the phone was in my pocket in sleep mode. I took it out and it was closed, no button was responding, i took the battery out, put it back again and started it. It asked for the pin code, i entered then it said "unlocking sim card" then the phone restarted.
From that moment it constantly restarts, regardless of me entering pin code or not, it restarts. I use stock firmware and i didn't do any overclocking or any modifications to the phone.
I tried the boot screen (the one which is entered by pushing yolume down+power button) I did factory reset from that screen, it didn't help. I put the phone in recovery mode and a screen appears and nothing happens, i think it is like a dfu mode in iphone, i don't know how to use it. In the boot screen a green text screen appears for a second says "PC101img.zip is missing" or something like that.
Do i have to load the rom again to this phone? If so how can i do that?
Any help will be appreciated.
Hey,
i've never heard of this issue on any phone.
So you coulds just try to do a few things.
First you could try to flash a new radio ROM.
just see the android developement section and the radio thread.
the radio doesnt change the actual rom on your device so yiou wouldnt loos your data.
it might help it might not, as we dont know what the reason for the issue ist.
when does it reboot? when you enter the sim code?
try a different sim card, just to see if it still happens and/or try to remove the sim passcode.
this might help and might help to see where the issue is...

Thanks for the answer. I didn't try different sim card but i tried to start the phone without the sim card and the sd card. It didn't change anything, it still restarts after few seconds.

I don't see how a new radio would affect the phones sim card...
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App
The problem seems to be with the sim card. I changed the sim card of the phone and it didn't restart from that moment. I used vodafone sim card with the phone for a week and after a week sim card started restarting the phone.
Is there a known cause of vodafone sim cards doing this?
Re: Constantly reboot...
the same issue does happen on mine! Stock firmware, never rooted, however, I've tried using different SIM cards and removed SD card, the same situation still exists. Reboot and reboot... please help!

Yeah, and randomly suggesting to flash new radios for a problem this person never heard of before is not great advice. Bricking the phone is possible when radio flashing, and should be approached with caution, and only done when there is a radio-specific issue.
As soon as it starts to dial a number it says call ended. If I turn airplane mode on and off, it fixes it for a little while. The only thing I changed recently is take trip out of the country recently and I had a sim card in from another carrier for a little while. When I got home I put the TMobile sim back in, rebooted, and that's it.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Try reflashing the T-Mobile home csc file and wipe cache in recovery and see if that helps. If you flash the regular CSC file it will wipe all your data.
This is not a rooted phone. Everything on it is stock - also not a branded phone, it's unlocked from samsung

Unfortunately I'm at a loss. I'm sure you tried wiping cache in recovery.
Hi all,
I am encountering this strange bug randomly: sometimes the device Is rebooting itself and it goes automatically in recovery mode, sometimes after a reboot it does the same. The error is always: Can’t load Android system. clicking on “try again” solves the issue (sometimes at the first retry, sometimes after some retries).
I’m attaching the error screens, also because the error message is not every time the same (Attaching also a normal way to enter recovery).
Has someone encounter this bug?
Any hints on how to solve this? I haven’t already do a full reset of the phone, but i think it wilL be the next step I’ll do if the phone is continuing like this.
Thanks!
Hi Arobase40, thanks for your answer.
Yes i know that this things could happen if you do some strange things to the phone (and in my past i was used to that ) but in this case, all is pure and untouched, no unathourized apk and no modding at all. (My use is quite noob-ish now eheh)
And that's seems very strange! :/ I made only ota update and this happened both with android 11 and 12.

This mostly happens when you did some tricky things on your phone. lol
If full reset is not enough (specially when the system is missing....) you'd have to restock it with an official Samsung firmware... ^^

Well ok, in your case try to flash back a stock firmware from Samsung with Frija or Samfw (don't forget to supply the correct model and CSC) using PC Odin.
If that don't fix the problem then get in touch with your local Samsung website and you should find a phone number for the after sale service and they will give you the nearest Samsung official repair center from your home.
They should fix this issue very quickly using most probably the same tool which is PC Odin.
If you go to the repair center don't forget to backup all your apps and data, remove your scard if you have one and also your sim card...

Thanks for your help and explanations.
Just to be updated and make some laugh: today the phone while was charging has become completely unresponsive, showing "Samsung Galaxy" on a black screen when touching Power Button or connecting to Power. After a while (hard pressing Power Button and Power+vol up) it restart itself and works again. Never had such an experience with a phone (a COMPLETELY stock phone)

Idk, seems like a hardware issue to me. Try and have a go at where you've bought it and have them check it over.
My first thought too is hardware.
A few years ago I had something similar with a different phone (Moto G) - as a last ditch effort I popped out the SIM and SD cards and reseated them and it worked perfectly after that. If you have an SD card you might even want to leave it out a few days just to see.
Not saying this is your issue but couldn't hurt to try!
