[Q] <Help Needed> USB port broken and now phone is bricked!!

Hi,
I had Nik 4.5 Custom ROM on my phone and recently I my USB port stopped functioning. To revert to S-on and claim warranty, I tried to revert to stock ROM and flashed Froyo ROM (as that was the only Indian ROM available for download on the forum). I think I made the mistake of downgrading the radio and now my phone is bricked. Any suggestions to make it work again? If I take it to HTC service centre will my they be able to detect any s-off mischief that I committed and can they fix the phone and the USB port?
Thanks in advance.

I followed the following steps:
1. I downloaded the ROM
2. Renamed it as PG32IMG.zip and placed it in the Root of the SD Card
3. Switched off the phone and took out SD card and then put it back again
4. Rebooted the phone in fastboot and updated the zip file. The update was completed successfully.
5. Followed the on screen instruction and rebooted the phone.
As this point the phone was not powering on. I double checked if the battery wasn't charged. I also used my charged spare battery (I use it since, my phone doesnt charge from USB port).
I assume the phone is bricked now... Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, what you flashed was an old Froyo based RUU. If you had been running Gingerbread then you had a Gingerbread radio and that radio cannot be downgraded back to Froyo. By running this RUU you have radio bricked your phone.

I don't know any other purpose for the service centre, but yes... they do fix phones.

The service centre fixed my bricked phone free of charge! They replaced the PCB and some other hardware which they did not disclose. Of course I had to escalate the matter to HTC escalation department and they were really
Kind in getting it fixed although it was out of warranty. I love HTC!

[Q] cant reset back

i just rooted my tablet 8.9 (GT-7300) long time ago.and now,i wan back an origin firmware...here's the prob..
my stock tablet is Malaysia.
i encounter problem its said ' firmware upgrade encounter an issue and bla.....'
b4 this,im using a custom stock 3.2.
when im using odin,its said failed at connection com.
can any1 help me w a guide or step from a - z
im appreciate u all kindness..
noob in the house :angel:

If connection fails the USB driver is probably not loaded correctly. To obtain the drivers, easiest way is to install KIES from Samsung. After that when you connect the tablet in download mode, hardware is recognized by Windows and you should be able to connect via ODIN.

[Q] HTC One Wont Turn On

I bought an HTC one on the weekend. I bought the Bell version since it was $50 cheaper than the Rogers one so while I was waiting for my unlock code, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and flashed CM10.1.
When I received my unlock code from HTCOnlineUnlock.com, it wouldn't work and they said if I was using a custom ROM, that was likely the problem.
So I downloaded the original Bell M7 rom from the bugsy lawson website, booted into CWM and tried to install it.
It hung on "running bug_fix1" for a long time. So I reset it and now it will not turn on.
I've tried holding the power button, holding down vol+power, but nothing happens. No flashing buttons at the bottom, no LED at the top.
When I plug the phone into my computer via USB, HTC sync manager opens, and the device shows up in windows device manager under Android USB Devices / My HTC, but does not show up as a drive under My Computer.
Any suggestions??

Just a heads up unlock codes usually only work on sense roms...but lemme see your problem again gimme a sec

Thanks for the help! I've been pulling my hair out over here.
No doesnt look like either detect the device. I've attached a picture.

I had the same problem but with the phone charging. I unplug and before I turn it on there was no way to turn until I connect via usb to the pc

Maybe @18th.abn has some insight if the computer can detect the phone.. sorry for calling on you hehe

[SOLVED] Problem Sim Card: No calls, no sms & no 3g

UPDATE
PROBLEM SOLVED:
Go to this thread for the solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548453
Hi all,
Since yesterday I've been trying to fix my phone.
It doesn't recognize my SIM card anymore.
I think it's my fault and I'll have to go to the Samsung store but I thought someone here might know a solution.
I'm aware that I did something stupid...
So here's the story:
Yesterday I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1, I installed some apps and I noticed that already 4GB of the 7,42GB was used.
The apps only took 2 GB of the 4GB. So I went to the CWM recovery, scrolled down to mounts and storage and removed all the storage...
Then I flashed Cyanogenmod again (because everything was removed, OS included). And now my SIM card isn't working in my device anymore.
It's for sure that my SIM card isn't the problem, because when I put my SIM card in my old phone, it will work.
After flashing I got a message of Vodafone, which says that they will send the right settings for my phone to use their network.
But that message never arrived at my phone.. I also tried to manually set up the right ''settings'', but that didn't work.
I have tried anything I could. I thought maybe it will work if I install stock rom, but again, it didn't work for me.
I still think it's a software problem, but it might also be a hardware problem.
It might be useful for you to know that I live in Holland. (maybe things are working different here, idk)...

try this
try this ....
using root explorer or file explorer or what else,
open file "factorymode" in efs/factoryApp directory, it probabely says "off", change to "on" (yes "on" is the correct setting to turn it off), then save
reboot
good luck

You still got your IMEI?
If official wirmware won't work, then try this one first, and then flash your official firmware.

Hi, thank you for your reply!
Unluckily for me it was already turned ON. (so this isn't the solution).

OK, I'll try this. Thank you for your reply!
I'll come with edit if it was successful or not.
About the IMEI, Yes I have it.
Should I do something with it?
UPDATE (I tried the 1st method):
I went to the thread you linked to called ''[HOW-TO] Enable Three Button Combo [RECOVERY]''.
I don't know exactly what it does.
It enables the ''Three Button Combo'', but I thought I already had this.
I did ''Benzonat0r's way'':
1) I flashed it as PDA
2) After flashing my phone rebooted
3) Nothing changed, still no working calls, sms etc.
Now I think you meant the 2nd method.
Should I do the 2nd method, so I'll get ''a "La'Fleur" branded phone''. ?
Is it safe to flash this Russian ROM?
"I8190 серв. укр.rar" is now downloading.
I'll try this now.. Hopefully it will work.
UPDATE:
I have tried the 2nd method now.
I flashed "I8190 серв. укр.rar". (PIT, PDA and CSC).
After that it didn't boot (which is right, because it's ''La Fleur''.)
So I flashed official firmware (dutch).
After my phone rebooted, I could see immediately that it didn't work
It doesn't show the signal.. and it doesn't have signal.
I'm sure that in my region the signal of Vodafone is OK, because when I put my SIM card in my old phone it works..
I'm sure my SIM Card is fine, it must the software of my phone..
It's my fault, I shouldn't have formatted all in ''mounts and storage'' about 4 days ago...
Another isue is the language which was displayed was Russian...
Normally after I flashed official firmware the language was dutch.
What I'm going to do now is again format all in CWM recovery.
If that doesn't work for me, I'll bring my phone to the Samsung store if no other solutions found..
Anyway, thanks for your help.
If you have any other ideas please tell me.
Thanks in advance!
Greetz, Daniel.

Problem Solved 100%.
Solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548453
The instructions written down below in this thread and post did NOT work!
I solved the problem myself:
I formatted again everything on my phone. (in cwm recovery at 'mounts and storage'.
I flashed stock recovery.
I flashed official firmware.
Done.
No more Russian language issue.
This thread can be closed.
The solution was a lot easier than I thought.
I think a ROM bugged my phone after I formatted all.
So as I said, problem solved.
Thank you for the your replies!
Greetz, Daniel!

Need help to unbrick my phone....

Hello guys, last week my cell phone was working perfectly, suddently the phone lost the signal, was allways without signal. I was using CyanFox 2.0.2 at that momment. I changed to SlimKat 4.4.4 but still the same issue. A friend suggested me to flash the 20C kdz. I tried the normal, with KDZ_FW_UPD, following the instructions that i read in another post. Everything was going ok, but it stopped in wParam = 2010, lParam = 210.
After that, the cell phone just go to S/W Upgrade mode, even if a try any combination of keys. I have tried to many methods to unbrick my phone without any success..... Please i need Help!!!!!!!!
I have tried the 10B, 10H, 20B and 20C kdz.

I had the same issue. You need to be patient when you work with .kdz files and one thing that worked for me is another PC. I didn't have another PC in my home so I used my friend's one for my needs and everything went good. The problem may be caused by drivers , so be carefull.
P.S. sorry for my English
