soft brick & usb unknow device.

Ok so i was on 2.2 Firefly and tried to flash stock GB. Did a reset and wiped the dalvik. Put the phone in DL and Windows (Vista 32b) is not detecting the phone, it spits a usb unknown device. Had to pull and plug the usb a few times until it finally get a good detection in Odin.
Now the real fun begins.. Started the flash and got stuck at "Do not turn of target" for more then 5 minutes. No activity, no bars going up.. nothing. I unplug the usb and replug..No more detection. Remove the batt and try DL again...Bingo black screen of death ! and can't go in DL anymore.
I got a usb jib and it works.. hooray or so i thought. Plug in the device and now windows is still not detecting the phone and install a "unknown device" under usb section. I uninstalled all the drivers i had and reinstalled... same issue.
Downloaded heimdall and that's were the revelation came... My device is f*** up real bad. My USB\VID and PID are now both 0000 (VID_0000&PID_0000) and not "VID_04E8&PID_681C". Windows driver can't recognize the device because of it. Tried putting a entry with 0000 in the driver .inf but it still can't detect the phone. I only have a "Samsung USB Composite device" with a error code 10 (cannot start device) under device manager.
SO..Is there a magic solution to bring this thing alive with Odin or heimdall or is jtag recovery the only solution left ?
EDIT: FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!! After 3 days of driver install and port switching i found a way to get Odin to detect my soft brick phone in DL. I used my usb hub (yes you read that correctly) to plug in my phone and Odin detected a com8 connection. I flashed via the usb hub and i'm now back on track !!!

Stuck with this same problem...
I can get it into Download Mode ONLY with a jig...
other than that anything i do (turning it on, plugging it in) makes a weird screen appear that has the following:
[cell phone] .. [caution symbol] .. [computer]
both windows and ODIN will not detect phone both on this screen and in download mode
got ODIN to detect phone twice after multiple attempts and it says that it starts the flash but that is as far as it gets... second time i left it all night connected with ODIN running in a feeble attempt to get to flash back to stock
trying different USB ports, i do not currently own a USB hub like the author of this thread used to finally get it working...
quite frustrated...

Have you tried flaking with odin one click or the drivers from designgears thread in dev section? Also try uninstall drivers and go to advanced and install those drivers manually. Let met know if helps if not we can try something else.

Try a diff USB cable too.
Mine did the USB not recognized thing due to a faulty cable.

This happened to me a while back. There was only one way I was able to get to download mode. See if it works for you -
1. pull battery, count to 10
2. reinsert battery, DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS exept to follow the next step
3. When I would hold down the vol Up and vol Down together for several seconds, the screen would blink. When the screen blinked I inserted the USB cable. Bam - download mode.
Hope it helps.
edit: well, this is coming from the "phone ! computer" screen. sorry

Able to get unto download mode... I will try the different cable idea in the morning... well... it is morning so in like 6 hours lol... thanks I'll let you know...

When connecting to Odin. Odin should be open and running prior to putting your phone into download mode and attaching to usb.

It was at the time...
...but I just got it working =] can't believe I went a month and a half without my Captivate and finally bought another just because of a bad cable =\
Any clue as to hat might have made the cable bad? It still charges phone and looks fine =\
Thanks 41LY45 for the cable suggestion and everyone else too for everything... now to root this new phone... (wont be easy this time Rogers and I guess its NAND locked or something)
Thanks again!

How I solved USB soft brick.
I had something similar, and have been searching for hours to find the following sollution:
Source: http://android.modaco.com/topic/309961-usb-brickrickrolledb0rked-fixed/
...
Also, SD card functionality has to work. For this, do 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode.
Steps involved:
1. Find out your CID. Go into fastboot mode, and do 'fastboot oem boot'.
The log will say something like the following:
Code:
#INFOTAG:Ramdisk OK
#INFOTAG:smi ok, size = 0
#INFOTAG:hwid 0x0
#INFOTAG:skuid 0x21F04
#INFOTAG:hero panel = 0x0
#INFOTAG:engineerid = 0x0
#INFOMCP dual-die
#INFOMCP dual-die
#INFOTAG:mono-die = 0x0
#INFODevice CID is not super CID
#INFOCID is HTC__E11
In this specific case, the CID is HTC__E11.
2. Get the following mtd0.img from here or from here: mirror provided by SgtDavePwnage.
Edit this image to the CID you found above with a hex editor.
3. Get flash_image from here or from here: mirror provided by SgtDavePwnage.
Move this to /data/ , and flash the modified image using:
"/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img"
You can move both mtd0.img and flash_image by putting it on your sdcard, and issueing the following command in a terminal emulator:
'cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image'
'cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img'
You might have to do 'chmod u+x /data/flash_image' before you run the commands (or chmod 755 /data/flash_image)
4. Repeat step 3 a couple of times if it doesn't seem to work well.
5. All done! Reboot, you should have normal usb connectivity. Post your 'fastboot oem boot' log and intermediate steps if it fails.

After that I followed the r4-legend-root Step 1 and skipped step two by placing Clockworkmod as update.zip on the SD.
Recovery Vol up + power. And I was back in the game. { I lost that other game while typing this }
It took me a while to learn all this. In 24 Hours 5 hours of actual work and frustration. But I'm There.
I hope this helps you as it did me.
I'm working on HTC Legend for a friend.
edit And I seem to have gotten the forum wrong.
I followed a suggestion for Similar threads... Nice feature
Hope it still helps

HELP!!!

Big problem.
I had CM7 #107 installed, flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223846 to OC and fix a few things. first couple of days were okay, now phone reboot when ever and after reboot LG home crashes. so i tried to install a old recovery CM recovery, i had three and none of them worked.
I first cleared both caches and then did recovery. and nothing. cant access the LG recovery screen (with battery out, screen just flashes and loops) and now after flashing a stock rom via this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554, now i cant access either LG recovery or CM recovery as the last flashed deleted it.
Any one have any tricks or ANYTHING i can try. i wana revert back to STOCK! COMPLETLY STOCK. HELP guys im outta options.

UPDATE:
I think i bricked the phone, not sure how, but, cant access any recovery functions. cant even get teh S/W menu, it just loops. if i power on the phone the LG screen is just there, bottom menu buttons light up when i touch but no function. Also when i plug in USB computer makes a sound that i plugged it in but, LG software or any flash software cannot see the device. NEED HELP.

no one has any idea what i can try?

Search for the nvflash. I thought I bricked mine to, but nvflash helped me out.

i tried to use the nvflash tool but i cant get to the APX mode, when i hold both volume buttons and after connect usb cable, i hear the computer recoginizes that something connects, after i use the nvflash.exe --sync which comes up, but after i try nvflash.exe --dl bootloader.bin, it just hangs, it just says NVFLASH started, i waited 15-20 min and nothing.

try smartflash

I had some problems with Win7 x64 a couple of times. Have you tried with another computer?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk

UPDATE:
Using Smartflash -- how do you install rom using this program. i thought this program is only for baseband updating

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229407
It includes the drivers for NVFlash, which I assume you're currently missing.

^^ thanks but i cant use NVflash, im in APX mode and i'm able to sync using the NVFLASH --sync command, but when i try to BL a file it just hangs on NVFLASH STARTING, i leave it for a while and nothing happens.

That's happened to me before, I tried a few times and it eventually worked.

i use nvflash.exe --bl fastboot.bin correct?

If you're talking about the link I gave you, use the batch file, it handles the command for you.
If you want the actual command, edit the batch file and c'n'p it from there

i edited the batch file so it only does the internal flash, all i get is "nvflash started", this suppose to take a while?
** i know the nvflash is working or supposedly, cause when i disconnect the cable i get an error in command.

No, it should be near enough instant if it's going to work.

There is a certian flag you need to run commands with, if your not running them as the first command. Try looking at nvflash --help

UPDATE: IT WORKED!!!, went home, plugged everything in, and on first try it worked using the .bat file. Now i have cwm recovery.
I'll upload the stock boot rom onto an external and flash using recovery. wffffuuu, thanks guys.

[Q] Motorola logo freeze

Hi Guys!
I was just regular using my phone for the last few months and then suddenly yesterday it decided to get crazy. First the green light was blinking and I couldn't acess my cellphone, so I rebooted and then it all started.
It stops at the Motorola logo.
I can acess the fastboo flash mode, tried to factory reset or either recovery, but once again stops at the same motorola screen
If I turn if off, I can see the charging status of the phone.
I know nothing about flashing, I've looked around and my XT890 it's a retail version, but I don't know what to download and such. And the worst case is that I'm traveling around US and I'll be here for anothers 12 days and I really need my cellphone back.

You can restore it easily with RSD Lite.
Just download it here: http://www.4shared.com/rar/vYYHCwBj/RSDLite57.html
And then download a factory image from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239706
(Select the one you find appropiate)
Make sure you have the Moto drivers installed, your bootloader is unlocked and then install RSD Lite and extract the image somewhere.
Connect your phone in fastboot, open RSD Lite, and in filename browse to the folder whre you extracted the image and select the .xml file in it.
Then press start and wait.

And it's the fastest and best way for doing it, and void the warranty, right?

Still I can't connect withing the RSD. My cellphone is connected, I can see it in the fastload screen
"USB connected", but can't get it to be shown in the "Show device" in RSD. What can I do now?

I intalled and uninstalled to see if changed anything. It seems that it doesn't work.
I'm using a Windows 8 64x version, does it has anything to do with it?

I don't think so. My Windows 8.1 x64 works fine.
Have you tried different usb ports? That made a difference for me once.

Yes I did, when It's charging and not in Fastboot, it shows up in the computer connected to de USB. When I change to the fastboot it doesn't show as connected. Even though I can use the cmd to work things out, but can't use it to flash it.

So, it works in a weird way all of them.
Those are the pictures of the connected cellphone, when it's in fastboot it shows as fastboot. When it's charging shows as XT890.

Start the phone i nfastboot then try the command "fastboot devices"
Send me a screen. Your PC doesnt seem to recognize the device very well.

I'll try to get a different computer tro try it, but so far no success

Try to put your ADB and Ri files to C:\"your foldername". It could be that there are problems when the files are in your user-accounts folders.
Did you already tried to connect with USB on the backside of your PC? Frontside are mostly hubs which could cause trouble.

[Q] Kindle F.HD 7-doesn't boot and win won't recognize device

Hi Guys,
So a few months ago I was trying to update to CM10 and when I was with TWRP i stupidly pressed wipe all instead of just flash as it was required at that time. I ended up deleting EVERYTHING or so it seams. Kindle won't even show any logos, screens, nothing, key combinations do nothing and when I connect it to any PC the PC "goes crazy" with it, the sound windows make when a USB device is connected and when you disconnet one? it constat, like it connects/disconnects/connects/disconnects/ and so on. I get a message that windows cannot recongize the device.
My guts tell me I absolutely wiped everything even twrp and now its a blank piece of hardware. is there a way to come back from this??
Appreciate any helpo I could get (and yes, regular users should not mess with stuff lie this. i know. )
Thanks, Charlie.

Do you have a fastboot cable? You will need to get into fastboot and flash a full restore.

Unfortunately I don't, and customs in my country won't let almost anything go through if I buy it online. If there is still hope to recover it I will try and have a friend buy one when abroad.
Once I get my hands on said cable what will it do and what would the next steps be?
Thanks a lot for replying @Red_81!

You can make one yourself if you're handy. Check out the SRT tool for how to do a full restore

[Q] KFHD Tate Custom ROM Failure - Brick recovery

Hi, Newbie question.
I have a 2nd Gen Kindle Tate that I was looking into installing CM11 on. Up until recently I have managed ok with it being rooted and running apks and apps from Google Play.
Major issue at the moment where I seem to be stuck
Here's what I have done:
A few months ago I had updated the Firmware to 7.5.1.
I had rooted it using Saferoot (Busybox), which has worked fine.
I tried to install CM11 but after failed attempts I found out it couldnt with the current firmware so needed to downgrade to 7.2.3 (Using KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0 tool )
I had stupidly replaced the boot.img & recovery.img files without a backup (BIG BIG mistake i know!)
I wasnt able to boot into the OS anymore
I also tried to install TWRP & COTR using the KFU 0.9.9
Since it turned off I hadnt been able to turn it on since.
I have tried leaving on the charge for hours and still nothing (2A cable).
I have a fastboot cable.
Is there anything I can do or is it completely dead?
Read somewhere before that you can short the KF to make it boot (sort of like a PSP Pandora battery). if this is true any guidance on this.
perhaps a SkOrPn cable?...but cannot find one

before you get too drastic. check adb drivers, a hard boot then plug in to pc
does your pc see the device at all when you plug it in? if so maybe try the KFfirstaide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54274465&postcount=3416
or this one

im no guru. just at the point on that one that it didnt matter if it was bricked. i only noticed the other pins as the diagram kinda showed them in the same order. so i tried each one. lol
there is a group of 6 pins total.
