[Q] Bricked phone, Jig is not working

Ok so what happened was, I installed the Voodoo Lagfix + sound kernal for froyo and then I was having issues with the sound so I decided to just restore the phone back to stock. I put it into download mode via ADB, opened Odin and started it but somehow the cord got unplugged right when it says do not unplug. This has happened to me before so I have a jig that I bought online. It worked many times before but now when I take out the sim and sd and put in the jig with battery it just doesnt turn on. it says off and then if i hold the power by myself it boots into Phone..!..Computer. I cant do the 3 button download mode trick because I have flashed with odin before and it hasnt worked since then. What should I do? Should I just call Samsung and or att and just say my device got disconnected when updating?
EDIT :
I have already sent the phone to samsung, they said its going to take a total of 7 to 8 days for me to get my phone back. Thank you to everyone who helped

I read that if you remove the batt, put it back in then while holding just volume buttons in plug in the usb. Tried it and it went to dl mode for me. Hope this helps.

Yea, I called samsung and acted like i knew nothing about phones and I just told them that my computer turned off as it was updating. She then sent me a shipping label to send it to them

Help! Nook always thinks its charging

Even if I remove the charging cable the nook always says "charging" any idea why it would do this?
The major problem is because I believe its causing the battery to drain way faster!

Reboot your nook. That should reset it.

I'd see that problem on occasion when running CM7.1, but it usually cleared up on its own, so I'm not sure what fix will work. What firmware are you running. The usb mode issue might be a clue. If you're on firmware that allows it, try changing your USB port mode and see if it kicks loose.

I'm on rooted stock - is there a way to access it with that?

[Q] ok common

i got the bionic in the mail today, installed the drivers and crap to my PC, and my phone wont detect that its connected to a computer! ive wiped data, and reinstalled the drivers a few times, whats wrong?

Try a different PC different cord enable debugging under development in settings and just toggle that lastly you can run a fresh install of windows

I called Verizon last night.. they said that the bionic is planned on getting an update next week.

what does that have to do with anything..

Sorry forgot to put the last part. They said that problems like this would be resolved

Also make sure you are using one of the rear USB ports if you are on a desktop PC - the front case ones are not always the best quality.
On top of that did you try rebooting both PC and phone? Helped mine a few times when the PC wouldn't pick it up.

Yea i tryed all that... verizon sent a replacement... should be here today

Can you use safestrap to restore cwm backups?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

You may have to move them to the safestrap/backups folder but yes you should be able to. Maybe even install zip from sd card would work
Sent from my XT875 using xda premium

They always say that...
OP, are you using a Motorola cable?

You have to use a Verizon branded USB cord. They have some partnership to make sure you pay $20 for something worth $5. Other USB cords will let you.charge but nothing else.

[Q](Solved) Micro usb problem

My phone charges fine, and my usb jig works fine. When I connect it to the pc. It charges fine. But to connect it to the pc, so I can mount the sd card or so I can connect to Odin, the micro usb doesn't connect right away for data transfer.
I need to insert the micro usb a little tiny bit, wait a second, then push it the rest of they way in, so the usb debugging notification pops up. And most of the time, I have to repeat the process of inserting and removing the micro usb several times, until the usb debugging and usb storage shows up in my notification Window.
I want to ask if anyone else has this problem. If so, is it the usb port going bad in my phone? It was like this ever since I bought the phone from ATT. Brand new out of the box, with contract.
EDIT: switched Samsung usb cables, and connected right away, no problems. No playing with the cable to try to get it to connect.

That sounds like a hardware defect. Also, try using a different USB cable. How long have you had it?

It may not b the usb port on the phone... I have 2 micro usb to usb cables, one that originally came with my captivate and it has always been loose. The other that I have came with my sgs 2 and it fits real snug in the captivate. ---- So maybe just try a different cable. Worth a try.

Hmm, that is true. The cable I use to flash my phone is a Samsung cable that came with my phone, and it fits a little loose. However, the cable I use to charge my phone fits snug. I haven't tried to connect it to my pc though. I was doing what I read on here, about using Samsung usb cables. So I will try it out, and see if it's the problem. Thanks.
EDIT: That was the problem. The cable is a Samsung, but it's not the cable that came with my phone. But it connects right away, no problems at all. I don't know why I didn't think about that in the first place. Lol. It's always the littlest things that you forget to try. Thank you!

[Q] USB Connection not detected

Hello everyone.
My problem is, upon connecting with any of the PC/Laptop USB port, the phone is not showing the options of USB connection (like USB Mass Storage, Charge Only etc.) I have installed ADB Drivers, HTC Sync 3.0, and with my own Laptop, other mobiles like HTC Wildfire is being detected with ease.
This problem started occurring after I flashed CM7.2 RC2. Then I installed RC5. No luck. After that I've flashed 3 new ROMs from Nik. But none of them managed to give me that option.
I'm learning android app development and want to access my phone camera from the application. Emulator cannot give me this access. So it is a must for me to be able to see the logcat messages of the real hardware (i.e. HTC Incredible S that I own) in order to see the exception etc.
As I mentioned before, this is a problem of the device itself because the options are not available on any computer at all. I myself have 3 systems and none of them detects my phone. Yes, windows7, Linux none of them detects that a hardware is attached to it.
Upon launching "adb devices" no phone is listed. I tried google but no luck.
This problem is preventing me from developing my app. Please help ASAP.
Thank you for your time.

Works Mass Storage?
Tried another USB Cable?
Maybe delete HTC Sync. And if that not works, reinstall the drivers.
If nothing works, maybe you USB Port is broke...

does it charge OK, with USB to PC, or with battery charger?
mine has played up a couple of times recently, I was down to 3% battery and I could not get the phone to detect the charger, either with phone switched on or turned off. I got a bit worried!
all I done was give the USB port a good blow out (with my mouth, lips just away from the port), assuming there was fluff or dust in it - it seemed to work! it connects first time every time now.

Tried 3 cables, Removed and reinstalled HTC Sync.
USB port may be broke is a good option but, how to make sure that is the problem?

Yes, Charging as normal, battery works normal.
Gave a lot of blows. Didn't work either.
I came across a page from cyanogen mod which displayed the same problem but there was no answer. All I could read was "change to RC5". As I have already done that, that doesn't seem to be an option.

I have the same problem. Tried different PC's and cables but no luck. I don't even know exactly when it started.
So you are not alone

I've already void my warranty by S-OFF. And now can't do anything to get S-ON again. As USB port is not working.
I was thinking to try all the possible solutions before I go to the customer care which is 500kms away from where I live.

Just a shot in the dark, but do you have USB debugging enabled?
