flashing a wizard that won't sync?

A few months ago the charger port on my wizard snapped off, so i got out my soldering iron soldered it back on, everything worked fine. apart from the fact that it didn't sync. i live with this as i use linux and rarely need to sync i just bluetooth stuff across.
But today i bricked my phone, and can't start it (hangs on startup). so i try and flash it but i cant as it doesnt sync.
so i'm wondering if anyone has a reTouched backup rom that i can flash from SD card with? as i rely on my phone greatly.
and t-mobile are saying i can't upgrade untill january (even though my dad was able to upgrade and i got mine around the same time both on 18 month contracts)
so please anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Did you try to hard-reset your phone?
Pressing CommManager + VoiceCommand button with the reset hole, then press Talk button when prompted.

I just had that problem, and it was discussed in detail in the thread I linked above. Happy reading and good luck!

You don't have any other option except to get your mini usb port repaired of your phone,in order to unbrick or flash any other rom to your phone.
the option you are talking about is not possible, as Sdcard image created by any other phone can not be flashed to another phone,as at the time of creating backup image on Sdcard,the method uses some values from the same device that are stored at the first 0x200 bytes ,therefore, Sdcard image of one phone can not be flashed to another phone,it can only flash back the image created by the same phone.
try to revive your phone by Hard reset,it might get ok,although by doing Hard reset you'll loose all your personal data,but it might revive the phone,otherwise in any case try to get mini usb repaired.
On second thought,are using any Sdcard already in your phone ?if yes take out the Sdcard and Hard reset,it might do the trick,sometimes if Sdcard needs formate,it freezes the splash screen,good luck

I've tried a hard reset, doesnt seem to work. allthough it did once but then same thing happened next time i soft reset.
i'm using the .Mun. wm6 rom
i just took it back apart gave it a clean (cleared the tons of sand blocking it up)
resoldered the usb port
now i get "Device not recognized" where as before i got nothing.
I'm thinking i need a new phone

hmmmm, I think it's woken up ,I hope,do one more thing, uninstall Active sync, reboot your pc,download latest Active sync ver 4.5 and update your pc to Windows Installer 3.1 from Windows update,Install the new active sync 4.5 and try to synchronize,lets hope it'll do the trick,no harm giving it a try this way
On second thought,to check if the mini usb port of your phone has started to work is to get your phone off the usb cable,try to go into bootloader mode on phone and when in bootloader mode connect usb cable to phone and your pc,if after connecting you see a small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloader screen of your phone,than VOILLA! your all set to flash. good luck

I tried the bootloader again and i did get the USB in the corner, but, it still refuses to sync or flash (i also reinstalled activesync and everything necessary).
seems a bit strange. anyway, whenever i plug it in a get the bubble saying "device not recognized" etc etc
click that it registers as "unknown device"
Which has no drivers
"No drivers are installed for this device.
If you are having problems with this device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter."
are there any extra drivers needed for the actual device? and yes i have tried the update drivers option doesnt seem to find anything.
EDIT:
I forgot to say, i did manage to hard reset and get it working, its just incredibly slow and unreliable and im still looking to flash it.

'I tried the bootloader again and i did get the USB in the corner, but, it still refuses to sync or flash (i also reinstalled activesync and everything necessary)'.
Ok,some encouragement here,let me explain,while flashing a rom,you don't require to establish connection through active sync,infact,while flashing active sync is automatically disabled by ruu.. itself.ok
now lets try this,if you say that when in bootloader,usb is shown,then kill the active sync altogether for awhile being.Before connecting your phone to the pc via usb,disable active sync,right click active sync icon in the task bar, click 'connection settings' and remove check from 'Allow usb Connection' and 'open active sync when my devics connects'.than open 'Task Manager',click processes tab and find 'wcescomm.exe' process,hit 'end process',this will close active sync altogether.
Now if you have the official Rom of your carrier,if not download it from your carriers official website.Go into bootloader mode on your phone,connect phone to pc vis usb,when it shows usb there open rom and run RUU..,hope it'll flash your device,it's a faint try but no harm trying,good luck

Go to my thread linked above...it is actually discussed...
In a nutshell...
go to device manager and tick "show hidden devices"
scroll down to usb, uninstall "unknown device"
using task manager kill wescomm.exe (or something to that name)
shut down any firewall
shut down your pc, AND pull the plug for at least 30 seconds
replug the power to pc, boot up
check in task manager to make sure wescomm.exe didn't restart, kill it if it did
make sure firewall didn't restart
now force bootloader
plug in phone
look for corner usb
work quickly...reflash your phone before you lose any connection

"the update utility cannot connect to your pda phone..." etc
doesn't seem to be working, but i still do get the usb in the corner

If you followed the directions, you should be able to flash the phone. Mine was tempermental but it DID flash. You need to make sure you follow the directions...and one more thing...
turn off your phone, unplug it, remove the battery for 10 seconds, power it on, then plug it in...after doing all the other steps. That's what got mine to read...and flash

1) To be ultimately sure, take out everything that is connected on all USB ports (and I mean, ALL) EXCEPT your Xperia. Also, uncheck the "Advanced Network Functionality" of ActiveSync.
2) If you have the same problem after following my advise, change to another USB port. Try every single port.
3) If you still get disconnections, try another computer (or laptop).
4) Problems still persist? then check your USB cable itself (or the USB ports) if it is faulty.

[Q] Unable to connect to PC

Hello
I have Froyo 2.2 I9000JXJPB
I used to be able to connect to PC but not any more. Im using Windows 7 64
I even tried and restored my laptop for factory condition and wiped out my galaxy.
Sometime when I connect the phone with the usb cable and PC would say unrecognized peripheral device and most of the times nothing happenes
it does not help if USB debug is checked or not
I even tried different usb ports in the laptop but nothing work
its driving me crazy
need help please

ok, put the phone in download mode and then connect it, try a USB port that connects direct to the motherboard, usually at the back of the tower.
also if that fails, try to uninstall kies and then re install it, that will re install the drivers.
then post back with the result.
EDIT: just realised your on a laptop not pc

Download and install these on your pc/laptop , your problem will be fixed
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml

Before postig my question I tired uninstalling and reinstalling kies. also tried driver reinstall option from kies
I downloaded the driver separately tried installing several times but it did not help...
Installation always endup with a message Device driver was not successfully installed
Unknown device device unplugged
Unindentified device device unplugged
If i recall correctly my problems maybe was with the last update with kies

if you go into computer > device manager and then select on the 'unidentified driver' you can select uninstall.
then start the process again, and also try installing it for the 2nd time with a different port.

Phone storage doesnt show up in windows

Ive had this issue for a few weeks now and its finally got my attention because i cant load any custom roms into storage.
Whenever i plug my phone into a computer, it will charge fine, but wont connect and show storage. It doesnt show up in device manager and usb debugging doesnt activate. Im using windows 8 and i did notice an error pop up telling me that the usb device is not recognized and has malfunctioned.
Oh, and im running ARHD 12.1

did you install the htc drivers correctly on your computer?

yeah. i had everything working fine for months before. im checking to see if its an issue with the rom. i think it first started after i installed the version that im on.

If you plug your phone in via USB, to see the internal memory, your phone needs to be unloacked. Will will come up with a warning on the the phone.
Steve

Im starting to think this is a hardware problem.
I reverted to stock and the issue is still there. Im now noticing that it shows up in device manager occasionally as an unknown device. It appears to connect and disconnect over and over on its own. Sometimes it will stay connected for a few minutes and i would try to update the drivers manually but it would say no drivers found. Windows also reports that "my device may have malfunctioned". I know that all my storage is still in tact though, so i guess its just something wrong with the usb controller?
Thank goodness for wifi file transfer or i'd have no access to my storage. But im concerned that i may be stuck if i ever need to adb or fastboot...crap!

PC won't recognize HTC One after installing KitKat 4.4 Sinless ROM 5.1.1

Hey guys, flashed Sinless 5.1.1 last night and ever since installing this particular ROM I'm unable to access my phone's folders via MTP or anything. I've tried re-installing drivers on my PC, rebooting phone and PC several times, trying to access my phone in ADB and fastboot... I can't even push or sideload a new ROM so I really don't know what to do!
Anyone got any idea what to try next and/or how to solve this?

Did you enable Developers options USB debugging?
If not go to about phone and click on Build number a
bunch of times. If that doesn't work install latest HTC
drivers.

Tried both, to no avail.
EDIT: It was working fine yesterday on Insertcoin 4.3 ROM, so I'm copying that back to my phone via WIFI transfer, gonna flash that and see if I get USB access back.

I'm actually running that exact ROM and my phone is seen on both my Mac and Windows 7.
Did you try a different USB port? Does a message pop up on your phone asking to trust your
computer? My computer wouldn't see my phone until I accepted that pop up.
If you've tried all that then give a little more info on your PC so we can diagnose it.

I never saw any message pop up. I've tried 4 different USB 2.0 ports. My USB 3.0 ports aren't usable.
I am runnings Windows 7 x64 Ultimate with latest HTC drivers installed.

Kinda stumped then! Only thing I can think is that you don't have the very latest drivers.
Can you ADB and see the phone? Check the following thread on how to do this.
(Sorry if you already know how)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506

If I do "adb devices", nothing shows up. Simple commands like "adb reboot" respond with "error: device not found".
I've just flashed ARHD 31.6 (Android 4.3) and re-installed drivers and my phone still isn't recognisable. I'm lost!

Okay, big trouble now!! I just read elsewhere that it could be an internal storage corruption problem, so without thinking I formatted internal storage along with data and system in recovery and attempted to ADB sideload a new ROM and was going to start over. Stupid idea! ADB still isn't working so now I can't even sideload or push a ROM. All I have to work with now is fastboot and recovery, and my PC isn't recognizing either of them. Any ideas?

YOU AREN'T GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!!!
Girlfriend stayed over the weekend and happened to swap our USB cables over. She left and took my OTG cable and left me with her identical looking USB charge only cable.
Just tried my mother's Nokia cable and voila! Installing device drivers.
Now to sideload a ROM and start from scratch -.-

I know this thread is old but if someone stumbles upon it this is what I did.
New USB worked.
***While using the USB cord that wouldn't connect like it usually does, I re-installed HTC Sync Manager and it immediately recognized it.
