i know it's s3 mini thread and my phone is s3 mini and it didn't work but i need to get my phone back

Phone is completely death when i press power button, but phone is recognized in windows device manager and ubuntu terminal by lsusb command.

I was looking for possible solutions on xda forums and i found this topic with "[HOWTO] UnBrick T-Mobile S III QHSUSB_DLOAD w/Video Walk through" To bad it does not have instruction for S3 mini.
My phone is unrooted with unknown version of software. It suffer thermal stress just before problems starts.(It was left on hot machine)

No... I got this phone from third person in this state. I'm petty sure phone sw is factory default.
Problem start with phone thermal stres... I first thought that was electrical problem but when i found on xda forums problems with brick phones, bootloaders and so on I don't want to give up...

[SOLVED]
i solved this problem only with JTAG , found it and done it

Did you use property software and jtag hardware or some open hardware and software?
Yesterday I disassemble phone and check voltages and frequencies around power management chip "AB8505"
Pressing the power button chip start to supply 1.2 and 1.8 volts and 32.765 khz is there constantly.
Probably, we have same situation, damaged bootloader.
My next step is to build own jtag cable and try to play with OpenOCD and UrJtag. I know its no easy job but I’m really interested in this stuff.
I have jtag cable but without capability for adaptive clocking RTCK. A long time ago i use to play with at91sam7s microcontrollers and bunch another geek stuffs, hell why not to try then.
I'm nob regarding to android os, file system, phone bootloader etc. So, now i'm collecting informations and documentation, if anybody have some useful links or suggestions share with me :good:

Hey guys,
the phone of my daughter shows the same effect, so I wonder if and how you solved the issue. I do have openocd and JTAG adapters. So where do you get the loader and the jtag pin assignment? Would be great if you could finish this thread with a working solution.
regards
Astralix

Got same problem.. Any solution to make it boot without JTAG cause I don't have JTAG tool? Or does any one success with unbrick device by sdcard? I will be glad if any one can help me out from this problem...

Did you managed? I want to do it the same way, rather spend more on universal JTAG hardware than buy commercial GSM box. But first wondering about this USB 8500 mode. For sure it is for some purpose, maybe we dont't need hardware JTAG or Direct eMMC, but some software which allow to talk with Novathor DB8520H chip. I see it might have something in common with HTC Desire 510
Edit: Found info about Novathor in HTC Desire 510 here http://www.digizoop.com/htc-desire-501.html but other sources say it's Qualcomm based.

Has anyone tried the debrick.img method?

You're using an 11 year old operating system that hasn't had a proper update in 4 years...
Probably a driver issue! IIRC ICS uses a different protocol for usb than GB, so that's probably why.

go into device manager and remove the listed device with the error unplug phone an plug it back in and let it reinstall itself
if that fails, try it on a different pc if it works then you know its your pc causing it

Help plz

My brother has bought a used a galaxy s European model and it's his first smartphone.
The problem with the phone is that it's running 2.1 old ass stock Rom. It doesn't connect to any pc with the usb cable. He has installed kies and the usb drivers from the Samsung website. It just gives an error 'Usb device not recognised'.
He tried to install mobile odin pro app but it gives an error 'package not found'.
I'm abroad and I could only tell him so much over Skype.
Should he return the phone or is it repairable?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This could be due two things
1) the USB cable is damaged or you have an incompatible USB cable ( Must be Samsung) only way is borrow or buy another cable to test
2) The USB port may need some cleaning or is damaged ( check link for cleaning methods )
Most of all when connections fail, you need to reboot both PC and Phone, after you have removed their power source, meaning unplug PC and pull out battery before checking again
Finally read this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 compiled everything I know to resolve this...

Doesn't need to be Samsung's, I have used Huawei microUSB cable without a single problem. Agreed with the rest of your post.

USB otg htc 510 64 bits

Hi everyone,
I would use my mouse/usb key on my HTC desire 510. If i understood after my researches,that's not possible on all smartphone...
So, is that possible on our HTC ?
Thanks for your future answers !
yes our stock kernel supports usb otg, as well as supplying power out. i use a 32gb sandisk usb flash drive with my 510.
Thanks for your answer.
So, i bought this the hama otg (i cannot send a link) but when i plug it in my phone, i get a message like "Phone in host mode, impossible to..."
I root it with your img.

It shouldn't be much of an issue. It does that for me too but still works, do any other errors present themselves?
Sent from my XT1028 using XDA Free mobile app
Well, i just plug the otg in my phone, without other usb. It show me "Phone in USB host". I tried with OTG checker, my kernel is ok but no signal detected by the application.
I tried to turn off the phone, & remove the battery, then put in again & turn on. When i plug in the OTG, nothing appened for a moment then the cursor of the mouse that i connected in the OTG appear for just 1 second, like a flash & the message back again.
No other problems
Today i tried to make my own OTG usb to see if the problem is the phone or the OTG hama.
When i plug my own OTG usb, nothing happen. When i plug the other OTG i just get the same message i said in my previous answers, nothing else happen.
Any idea ? I don't know but is anything i have to do like turn ON USB debug or anything else ?
Edit: I got a Xperia today to try my OTG, it seems that he works well so i just need to ask: Is the HTC desire 510 64bits EU is compatible OTG ? If it is, why my phone don't recognised my OTG ?
Still need some answers here
It just not support USB HID over USB (mouse and keyboard). Could've been disabled by HTC (reason for cursor disappearing after 1 sec of plugging in).
Sent from my XT1028 using XDA Free mobile app
Hi ! Sorry for insisting but i read on official htc web site that the htc desire 510 support usb storage. So, why nothing else that the previous message happen.
I bought another OTG today & it's forever the same...
I want to bump this topic, I have european 64-bit version and when I connect OTG cable there's info shown about phone being in usb host mode but nothing else is happening.
My thought is that tey give this option to 32-bit US version and then disable it (clumsy) in european version.
Sorry for grammar, english is not my native language.
I dont personally own a desire 510 but I know that 90% of otg issues are with the cable... Try another cable because all are not the same...

Hi,Have u already fix ur desire 510 problems?
I already changed 3 different otg cables, seems like the same problem as u met....Any suggestions?
I had that issue when I flashed a moded kernel. Had to go back to a stock kernel and it fixed the usb issue
Sent from my 0PCV1 using XDA Free mobile app
USB OTG pops up a message in the notifications bar to let you know that you cannot simultaneously charge your device and utilise an USB device. The only reason that I can think of why the mouse cursor would disappear after a second is because you have your finger on the screen. I use my OTG with my digital camera (via Google Photos), USB Keyboard, USB Mouse, another Android device, and a 64GB flash drive almost daily, and I don't seem to have any problems.
Hello,can you please explain the details for that?

If your phone is not rooted and doesn't have a custom recovery installed on it then there is no way possible that you're using a different kernel, that means that you already have the stock kernel! Is your phone 64 bit?

Where are you from? If you're in the USA then it more than likely is 32 bit but if you're in another Country it's a really good chance that you're using a 64 bit and from what I've read about it the 64 bit for some reason or another doesn't work correctly with the usb otg and I can't exactly do anything to help with that since I don't have access to any 64 bit phones.

Please help me out!!!

My nexus 6 is rooted. 10 days back it stopped charging from my turbo charger. I accidentally wiped everything including the OS and the internal storage from TWRP mode. Now when I am connecting the device to my laptop it is saying usb not recognized( device descriptor request failed). I have tried everything to solve this. I have updated all drivers and tried out in different devices with different usb cables but all in vain. I also tried to mount otg in TWRP mode but I can't check the mount usb otg box in recovery mode. Please help me out.

Start with wireless charging; there must be some energy in the N6 to communicate with other devices. And clean the USB connector with a small brush wetted with isopropanol or alcohol.
If what @NLBeev recommends doesn't work, you may have no choice but to flash a stock ROM image using ADB. So long as you left your bootloader unlocked, flashing a stock image should restore your device to a running state.
Guys my device is charging from other chargers so there is no problem in charging it. To use adb sideload my device needs to be recognised by my pc but it doesn't. How do I sideload my device then?
Did you install the USB driver Google provides?
Yeah i have installed all the drivers.

Cable OK? Try a different one.
USB-port OK? Use a different PC.
When using Windows 10 and having driver issues; uninstall and delete the drivers from the PC and let Windows 10 search the internet for updated drivers.

Not that I can think of. You may have a bad USB port on the device, which means a trip to the nearest repair center.

Have you cleaned the USB port?
Yes I have cleaned it. I even went to the service centre once and they said that your mofherboard needs to be changed. But my motherboard is fine.
How do you know your motherboard is fine? Clearly your motherboard isn't fine if the USB port isn't working.

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.
