So, I broke my phone and a buddy had an MDA laying around. However, when you turn it on a ton of errors come up:
Init_Tray.exe
CapNotify.exe
WiFiInit.exe
CheckAutoRun.exe
all are missing or cannot be found.
I tried the hard reset and no go. I was able to get it into bootloader mode and attempted to try the T-mobile ROM upgrade in hopes that I could fix this phone and I got error 274. Does this mean the phone cannot be fixed?? WM runs all goofy and I'm hoping that someone can provide some insight on this phone. TIA.
In the words of the immortal Johnny Five from the movie "Short Circuit"-INPUT! NNNEEEDDD INPUT!!! But seriosuly man, download the Wizard Service Tool, and tell us what information it displays, such as your IPL/SPL, if its a G4 or G3 and whatnot...than we can help yah!
Got the tool and at first it would not let me run the ENAB RAPI + UNASSIGNED APPS, but finally it let me. (just so you know, from time to time when connected to ActiveSync it will disconnect on it's own). Got ENAB + APPS to work, but when I hit DEVICE INFO I get the following:
Warning!
A device was detected but one (or both) of RAPI
Communications and Applications Policy isn't
enabled.
Use first button for that purpose and try again
--------
So, I ran it (ENAB+APPS) again and it was successful again, but when I hit the DEVICE INFO I get the same error.
Is there any possible way to flash the ROM via the SD card??? I think one the biggest problems is the Active Sync connectivity.

Nopes ! sdcard rom flash is only possible,if you already had backed up the present rom on a sdcard and secondly, if the phone is already CID unlocked.
You can manually copy and paste the two cabfiles 'EnableRapi' and 'Cert_SPCS',in your phone and execute,they can be found in the installation folder of the Wizard Service Tool...> files folder in the program files in C:\ drive,if you are able to establish connection with Activesync.
To verify the connectivity,get your phone into Bootloaders mode (multicolor screen) and hook up the phone with pc via usb,check if small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloaders,if its there,than its establishing connection,otherwise,your usb cable or mini usb port of the phone is faulty.
Many connections problems are also related to weak battery,get the battery fully charged.
If it establishes connection in Bootloaders,than download the official carrier's rom and flash it in Bootloaders,it'll work out.
Cheers!
I was able to put these files 'EnableRapi' and 'Cert_SPCS' on there, but when I go to execute it does it super fast and I don't get a verification. Is that normal?
I will charge the battery and try that too. Thanks.
Yes, that is normal..all they do is tweak 2 settings, they dont actually write anything, and no, they dont have any kind of confirmation screen to go along with them.
Finally!!!!
So, I was finally able to bring this badboy back to a usable state. After many failed attempts at flashing the ROM I tried something that I hadn't done before. I killed the wcescomm process and disabled ActiveSync via USB before I connecting the MDA in bootloader mode. Once I did this the ROM update began working and I almost jumped out of my seat at work. Was able to get it going without and crazy errors and now have a usable MDA. Thanks for everyones advice.
Kill the wcescomm process!!!! and disable USB AS!!!!
When you start to flash and run RUU,it automatically disables and stops Activesync,but yes,sometimes it helps out by manually disabling and or altogether stop activesync running by stopping wcescomm process.
Anyway,glade you got it working.
I don't have access to a Y cable or goldcard, I'm on bootloader 5.12 and on TMOUS. I've tried the Europe_401 method but no luck, I am not SIM unlocked, nor do I know how to do so.
I've seen a method that can get you back to pre-Mango using Zune restore, problem is that I just got this particular HD7 and am not on the same computer as I was in the past when I initially did the update on my previous HD7. Is there a way to get a copy of the backup needed to restore from Zune?
Thanks.

Look mate, the easy way is to make the y-cable, I did it with spare parts and converted my TMobile HD7 to a European HD7..., I tried everything, even the MS tool and all are trash, the Y-cable is the only option.
remember 1GB microSD card, the Y-Cable, and power (whether it's USB from a PC or the wall charger)
if you need more help, I'll gladly assist you.

I actually stripped down a USB hub and mated everything together following some tutorial here. I got power to my SD card reader and to the phone.
I was using a 32gb micro SD due to me not having another. I put the phone in USB host mode, connected USB, then the phone said Loading for like 15 minutes.
I removed the USB, tried again, but only kept reading USB host mode...the phone still works though.

Struggling to find an up to date guide on how to root 2.21 for this phone.
Biggest issue is, the usb is broken on this phone, and I am charging via putting batteries into a external battery charger, so I need to be able to root and put a custom rom on via the phone and sd card, without using the usb or programs on pc.
I tried an old z4root apk I found and it didn't seem to work, so any ideas?
Thanks
?
any help?
I-896, from the start USB was working in Lo-Speed mode when data transferring (1 Mb/s speed). I was too stupid to format /system from CWM and then reboot to Download mode which wasn't working (USB Device attached not recognized, blind ODIN and Kies). Can I somehow flash stock ROM? Is this an phone's MicroUSB-Female issue or deep hardware's one(processor, PCB)? Here are some photos of me trying to connect USB directly:

Yes, I've seen this thread (and many others too, done a small research for about 1 hour). Tried all the solutions from the threads. My phone easily switches to Download mode, but it isn't recognized by PC. And it's not a driver/cable problem because my second Captivate works properly.
To be more concrete: code 43 in Device Manager, Device not recognized in tray.
since you've got the phone opened up, clean the micro usb connector and check resistance of each connector contact to test point on board. then check resistance between pins. if 2 and 3 are shorted, power chip wont pass data to phone.
also, if you enabled fast usb charging in kernel, that would be problem.
you want battery out, good contact cleaner. get completely dry and clean before applying power.
Have never using Fast Charging (only GB ROMs and kernels), bought a new captivate with broken screen, now trying to get the phone working.
Why isn't power chip allowing to pass data to phone? I haven't normal multimeter at the moment. Can you advise me how to flash Captivate w/o USB? Is there a way? And, maybe, this bug appeared because my Captivate was from Rogers, not the I-897 one?

Well as far as I know, the Rogers one is an international phone, which is the i9000 not i879 (not 100% sure, correct me if I'm wrong) so that could have a lot to do with it.
As for flashing w/o usb, if you have an external SD card the phone can read yes it's possible but it's not advisable because you can completely screw yourself like I did . My phone currently won't boot besides Download Mode, Recovery Mode, and the bootscreen but since I don't have USB data connectivity I can't fix the phone (when I flashed speedmod kernel, everything went fine. But it doesn't read my external, so I can't flash my phone to fix it).
If you do choose to flash without a USB, please for the love of everything holy, MAKE SURE YOU ALSO PUT THE ROM .ZIP ON THE INTERNAL SD AS WELL

Actually the Rogers version is i896 and the other is i897. To my understanding the hardware is identical and shouldn't be a problem using stuff for the 897 with the 896.
Yes, I have now tested all the parts compatibility between I-896, I-897 motherboards and camera, part with cardreader, speaker, vibrator and sim-reader. All works properly.
How can I flash the ROM using my external SD card? I can't access it through CWM (can't even mount, I think mount binary was formatted with the /system partition). Is there a guide?

I can't access it either, hence why my phone is bricked :\.
If you have no access to the internal SD, you're in the same boat as me lol. If you know for a FACT that the usb port is damaged, there's a website that will repair it for you for about $35. However, you can usually get a used cappy from ebay for around $80-$100, so if there's more issues might as well just buy a new one and use the current for spare parts.
EDIT: Excuse my last post, I forgot you had already not been able to use the phone to access the internal SD. Long day at work
Just bought I-897 with a broken screen for 33 USD. I'm wondering if I can flash my old PCB someway, even if I'll need to find a hardware tool for this. Will try checking USB port's resistance, especially 2, 3 pins as was mentioned above.
MicroUSB consists of 5 pins, and the place where USB-F port is connected to PCB has 7 (as can be seen on photo). Where can I find a pinout for this one?
Hi, firts of all sorry for my english.
My sister give to me a BLU R1 HD 2GB RAM/16 ROM, it come without Amazon ads (so i think its OEM version). Its running BLU_R001UU_V21_GENERIC.
She told me that one day just not was recognized by PC to transfer files,photos, music. I make a wipe from recovery and still the problem no USB detection at all just charging, no sounds like new USB device was conected, no device on Device Manager.( i do this on diferents PC Windows 10, Windows 8, and Linux Elementary OS , Deeping OS)
I enable Developer Options and change MTP/PTP/Only Charge option and nothing happened; I opened the device to check the pins on the USB connector and check continuity and all seem like be perfect.
I thing that may be when was update to the last software something happen and lost USB recoginition, I want to Root the device and change Recovery but i see that the steps need connect the R1 HD to PC and make some things throw ADB console.
My question is: can i downgrade the original rom from SDcard in the actual Recovery.. to try recover the USB functions. or may be its something wrong on any internal chip that no make the USB conection.

I have not seen any other reports of usb dying after OtA update. You say you tried with different PC, what about using different usb cable?
But more bad news for your plans. If you have official v21 update, then you are not rootable anyway.

I have the exact same issue... and it happened just after an OTA Update. After that it showed it was charging only when the phone was shut down.
No USB recognition whatsoever. PC/Mac. Tried several cables.... All USB modes... Factory Reset... Nothing made it work.
I contacted BLU with the issue. As soon as I have an answer (If ever) I will let you know.
If any of you know anything about this please share it here.
Oddly enough, After a cache wipe and factory reset, I have no ads on the lock screen. The app is running on the background but nothing shows up.

I think if we can downgrade to a official rom under the actual recovery maybe that fix the USB. But all methods are under USB connection to PC.

As far as I know downgrading is not possible without making the phone unusable. If by any chance that is possible maybe an update from an SD Card can work.
