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

Hey All.
I am on vacation, and just brougth a new notebook (lovely Medion Akoya), and i want to sync with my diamond. However, i downloaded the active sync from the ms homepage, and i get the "Unrecognized device" error all the time.
Yes, i tried to use different cables, yes i tried to deactivate the advanced network, however, i doesnt seem to recognize it at all.
Even if i do a softreset + volume down, i just get the SPL1-40 screen, but eventhou my phone is plugged in the USB, it doesnt say that, only "serial" when i disconnect.
I've been searching this forum the entire day, and i cant seem to find a solution. So, i kindly ask the gurus help me
Diamond running 0.95 bePe and pc running xp sp3.
Kind regards, Heien.
Try to flash a stock ROM and check if you run into the same problem.
In order to sync, you must be running the handset normally, don't enter bootloader mode.
Did the system prompt you for drivers the first time you connected it to the PC? Activesync 4.5 provides the rndis drivers.
the problem is, i cant even flash my device, i tried to flash it, but i get a connection error with the tool.
I know about the bootloadermode, and that i am not able to sync in that state, but i just wanted my pc/diamond to recognize the connection between them. The system did not prompt me for drivers, it just went straigth to unrecognized device. i even tried to point the the driverupdate tool to the drivers folder with the rndis drivers in the as folder.
-i also tried to hardreset my device.
Try doing the same on a fresh stock XP install, without firewall or anything similar.
We need to figure out if it's a problem with the handset itself or your OS/PC.
Try another USB port (DON'T use hubs).
Enter bootloader mode. When you connect it to the USB, it should at least toggle from serial to usb.
If that's the case, at least your USb is working well.
I have a problem with the diamond and needs to change ROM/SPL and other stuff, but it won't recognize that the phone has been plugged in. I have tried 5 different USB cables and 3 different computers. I don't have HTC warranty. I've done 5+ hard-resets.
Please help.
First, what OSes? For instance: win 7 doesn't recognize the phone if it tries to connect in active sync mode.
I've always used windows xp, in the past it worked.
hi,
try to connect your htc twice : my computer does not recognize my htc at first plug but when I retry in less than 1 minute, my htc displays popup menu and I can choose USB/active sync, I click done and then my computer recognizes it. I don't know if it will work with your device but you can try that ^^
Thanks for the suggestion,
I've already tried that a lot of times, nothing doing.
ok, did you try to change the status of your usb connexion ?
I mean : settings>connections>usbtoPC> then try these 4 combinations together :
- enable faster data synchronization (try both modes on/off)
- ask me about usb connection type (try both modes on/off)
I can get into bootloader, but never know that you could flash ROM in there. Is there a guide?
Also, I have a problem with a flickering screen that some threads here suggest changing SPL version to fix. Is it possible to change SPL using bootloader?
I just downoaded WM6.5 to my phone and did a ROM flash from internal storage, but USB still has problem & flickering screen still there. I need to be able to change the HardSPL w/o connection to the computer.
Is it possible to load some of the .exe in the HardSPL package and run it on the phone?
Someone help,
Thanks
Perhaps it's simply due to your PC firewall ?? Deactivate it and try to plug your htc again...
the problem is that my the computer doesn't connect with the phone via the USB cable.
just try to disable your PC firewall before connecting your device.
sorry I cannot find CustomRUU.exe on this forum, i did find DiamondCustomRUU.exe on the wiki. However, the interface for it is the same as the RomUpdateUtility.exe, which requires activesync connection.
I did proceed anyways by entering bootloader(Voldown + softreset) and run the utility -> nothing works. Then I try the USB trigger mode (Voldown + back + softreset) and run the utility -> nothing works.
I am tempted to put the HardSPL in the internal storage and rename it DIAMING.NBH and flash it but I do not know the consequences.
Thank you for your replies,
I'd appreciate more help
So I tried to root my phone, it worked, and I wanted to oc it. I used ROM Manager, and bricked my phone, since I installed a program (dont remember what its called) that turned my phone into EXT4, when it needs to run on EXT3 or something. So now its stuck at the LG/ LG with loading bar screen and cannot turn on. I'm trying the flash it with nvflash, but it wont work. I got my phone into APX Device mode once, but I failed and had to try again. But now, my computer won;t recognize my phone and I think I'm doing something wrong, because it wont show my phone as a APX Device. I'm obviously new to this so help would be appreciated.

Some people have reported that they have to try repeatedly before it will start in APX-mode. So try again and again before giving up, make sure battery is out and that you firmly press both volume-buttons while plugging it in.
If it absolutely, positively cannot enter APX-mode, then your last hope is Smartflash-mode. Does it start in Smartflash mode if you hold volume-down while plugging it in?
Oh, and make sure you're connected directly to a port on the motherboard.
EDIT: You can try deleting the APX-device from the PC too, to get it rediscovered and reinstalled. Unzip the attached archive and run the batch file in it. (It sets a parameter which allows the device-manager to display hidden and "ghost"-devices before starting it.) Select "Show Hidden Devices" from the View Menu, find the APX-device(s) ("NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices") and delete it/them. Then try to reconnect in APX-mode again. (Have the driver ready.)
Just got my phone into download mode after using the jig, and i have been able to connect to my pc before i seriously F'd my phone by messing with a setting in cwm. I have downloaded and redownloaded drivers from samsungs website, along with installing Kies and that does not recognize my phone. (also i would like to add i am unable to access the phone since it wont turn on without the jig, without jig it just goes into a boot loop.)
THis is what happens when i plug my phone into the computer:
plug in usb (to computer and phone)
let it do its thing to recognize device...
pop-up stating "unknown device" so i click it.
then right-click the unknown device which opens up another window
from this menu it shows Install driver, Update driver and 3 other options.
when i press install driver and update driver, it tells me that the driver is already installed in "device unknown."
At this point i throw computer at wall after 2 days of trying to figure this out.
so messed around and the problem only happens when it is in download mode. but when it is not in download mode it shows up but no use to me because i am trying to flash it to stock. soo i dont know why the error 43 only shows up when in download mode. any help would be great.

Just follow this to update the drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 , same thing as what you have done earlier but this time , when it searches for new drivers, you can do the selection for it.
But first reboot your PC after pulling out power cord ...and try the quick solutions first
Ok sen, so i tried to install the driver manually but i am stuck at the part where i have to install something on my phone to allow it to sync with the computer, since my phone will not even boot up. I am starting to think my dear Capi is going to be a paper weight =(
I'm in a big predicament. A few weeks ago I installed the MOAR ROM on my Note 5. After installing this ROM I was no longer able to connect my phone to PC. I tried a Windows 8 PC which says I have an unrecognized USB device plugged in. I tried going into Developer settings to set USB mode to MTP but the option didn't exist. I had all USB drivers installed as well. My wife's phone is recognized no problem. When plugging the phone into my linux machine absolutely nothing happened. It used to show the phone in the left navigation panel in my window manager but after installing MOAR ROM it was no longer detected.
Anyway, today I was trying to play Cartoon Wars 3 and since my phone is rooted it wouldn't let me play. I decided to go into the Super User app and disable it to see if the game would work and it didn't. When I went to re-enable the app it said installation failed and asked me to reboot. I clicked reboot and was sent into a boot loop. I thought okay no big deal, I'll just restore a backup in TWRP. When I go to restore the backup and select the backup file it asks which partitions to restore, but there are no boxes to check. It usually has options like system and data but now it's just blank. I tried a factory reset and I'm still in a bootloop. I'm at a complete loss. I don't know what else to do. I've tried download mode and everything but no matter what I do my phone isn't detected by my pc.
I appreciate any help. I don't know what to do. I'm out of a phone right now and don't have a backup. Not to mention I'm in between jobs right now and can't afford a new one right now.

Thank you for your reply but it seems you didn't read my post. My phone is not recognized by any pc.
What is the terminal command to restore a backup? That's pretty much my last ditch effort.
Well I broke my recovery so I'm screwed. I contacted Samsung and they said they would service it for free. Wish me luck.
What would cause the phone to stop being recognized by the PC? I narrowed it down to the MTP software or the micro usb charge port. My Windows computer says Device Descriptor Request Failed. Linux box does nothing. No USB devices are listed when I run lsblk.

when your phone is in download mode,it doesn't work to connect it with samsung kies on your pc?
You could try using the Kies software to reload the stock firmware. Here's an overview of what to do:
- if you don't already have the Kies software installed on your PC, download it (just search Google) and install it. The first time it runs it'll update itself to the latest version so make sure you run it once before proceeding.
- put your phone in Download mode: with the phone completely off, press and hold the Volume Down and Home and Power buttons simultaneously, and release them all when you see the Samsung splash screen
- connect the phone to your PC with the USB cable that came with the phone
-- if you've never had the phone connected to your Windows-based computer before, you'll see messages about installing drivers, etc - just wait until this is done (may take 5 or 10 minutes) [I don't know what happens if you have a Mac - it probably just works]
- in the Kies software, select the second item in the Tools menu and just follow the prompts to enter the model number (in CAPS) and IMEI/Serial Number (both found under the battery - it's ok to remove the battery at this point)
- the Kies software should start downloading the correct firmware for your phone from the Internet; once that's done (depending on your Internet connection speed) it'll begin downloading that to the phone (this probably takes 10 minutes or so)

Kies doesn't work either. I already tried that. When I hook up the phone It says "Device Descriptor Request Failed". It used to connect to my computers until I put MOAR ROM on the phone. Since then it stopped being recognized by my computers. There's either something wrong with the connection or something got corrupted.

What have you already tried?
- are you sure you're using a data cable and not a charging-only cable?
- have you tried a different computer?
- have you installed the Kies software?
- what does Device Manager show when the phone is connected?
- assuming that the phone is working normally, does the phone show anything when you connect it?
- do you have try windows 8 or 10?

I've tried 4 different cables. My wife's S5 works perfectly fine on all computers. I have tried in Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. I've also tried in Linux Mint. It used to work until I installed MOAR Rom. Windows says Device Descriptor Request Failed. Linux doesn't do anything when hooked up. lsblk doesn't show the device either.
I have a bit of an update. Apparently something happened with all my data cables. I hooked up my wife's phone the other day and I was all of a sudden receiving the same error as the note 5. I went out and bought a new data cable and now her phone connects again. I'm waiting for the Note 5 to charge up so I can try Odin. I'll post back my results.
I apologize to those who told me it was the cable. I just didn't see that it was conceivable that all 4 of my data cables were all of a sudden damaged. Never underestimate the ability of children to destroy every working cable you own.
Well I'm still getting the error. I have some usb cables coming in the mail so once i try those out I'll get back to everyone.

Were you able to fix your issue. I have the same issue. Note 5 N9208, I can get into Recovery (TWRP) and Download mode, but can not boot. The USB connection is showing USB Device Descriptor failed. I have tried 5 different cables and Windows 7/10 Ubuntu and cant get the phone to show up on the PC. I also have changed the USB port of the phone. Any insight would be helpful.
