[Q] Following Goldcard method: Stuck on "Checking . . ." screen

I'm stuck on this screen in the "usb host mode":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
I allowed it a full hour or so and nothing happened.
Took the battery out and gave it another try -- same result.
Since this whole thing involves using USB, I don't understand why it's saying serial.
Found an old topic about a similar problem on a different phone --- the person solved it saying it was a problem with the connector:
When I try to reinstall the ROM also (Power + OK button) I am getting "serial" showing at the bottom of the screen instead of "USB"

On the phone itself the female usb connector had 2 of the 5 "connectors" entangled with each other inside.

I've pretty thoroughly inspected all the usb cables/connectors and they all look fine.
Edit: I have also used Zune software to transfer pictures etc. from the phone to my computer with no problem over USB.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Bump.
I'm really lost here. I've tried countless flash drives and microsd cards/adapters. I am thinking of making a new cable, but I really think that the cable I have now is fine (since it recognizes that something is connected). One time I even tried formatting a flash drive to NTFS just to see what it would say --- it detected the flashdrive but then said that there is no ROM available. Of course when it's formatted to FAT32, it gets stuck on the "checking... serial" screen.

Check list
You must use
Y-Cable
Card reader
1GB MicroSD or SD (don't bother with 2GB)
you can try with USB drives, but I haven't tried myself, some people claim it worked, again: 1GB usb drive

How do we enable USB MSC mode for file transfer?

As the title says, Is there a way to do this on Xperia Z3+ Single Sim?
Is there a hidden option?
MTP doesn't work well for certain things like transferring files that are not naively supported on the phone (i.e. certain music or video files), and large files, also it seems to go a lot faster when using MTP mode.
Some of us rather not have to remove our MicroSD along with the Sim card in order to use USB MSC mode. Also there are times where you are in a place that does not have card readers on the pc readily available so having the option of MSC would be nice.

Setting > Xperia Connectivity > USB
however when you try to copy not-supported format system will ask u to convert or just copy
select Just Copy option
:good:

Thanks for the input, But that's just normal MTP mode not the requested MSC mode.

Did you encrypt your SD card? Cause that should not let you access your device in msc mode, as it would make absolutely no sense. The device decrypts your accessed files on the fly via mtp.

Nope, it's not encrypted
Maybe they removed it on Xperia Z3+.
This is all I have, since the day I bought it. I've even performed a factory restore and nothing.

bump & ditto
I'd really rather not use Sony Bridge with my Mac if/when I can avoid it. Seems like Z3+ has lost USB MSC mode.

I used "Helium - App Sync and Backup", the app show me to change the USB mode;
but in this usb mode PTP & charge only modeis not work...
I changed it to SD card mode, it work & I can use the Helium app now.
However, now I cannot find usb mode again, I cannot switch back to MTP mode...

Cannot connect via USB

Hey there,
I've had this issue since I updated to lollipop and it's been really bothering me. When I try to connect my phone to laptop via usb it connects and I can see phone in device manager, but I can't access the files and media. It just says it's charging and that's it. If I click on it nothing happens. I have tried lot of things, usb debugging on , tried LG PC suit, tried some usb drivers etc. So basically PC recognizes phone, but I can't get to MTP mode and access the files. Is there anything I can try or do?? This is really annoying issue. :crying:

Go to settings -> Storage -> Hit the three dots in top right -> USB Computer Connection -> See if you have MTP box checked.

Thank you. Though, there is no menu when I open storage, this is all I can see. No three dots.

Try a factory reset maybe that helps.

Is my XZ3 Hacked?

Hi everyone,
I installed infected flashtool app wa strying to flash my xz3, usb debugging was activated when windows detected a malware from the computer during flashtool setup while my phone was plugged, is there any possibillity to be hacked? and if so, is wipping data and factory reset would solve the problem? thank you all.
Rvn.

I believe so. If not we can solve anything here lol

Of course it's possible
ID the issue. Isolate your backup data drives from both machines until proven clean.
A factory reset won't get rid of flashed malware... a hacker's wet dream.
If so you need reflash with a clean rom copy.

Lol, after some pain and suffering...

Lol, but In android even if usb debugging activated you need to approve the access to it whenever a computer going to use it, a window pop up on your phone to either approve or deny which it didn't appear at all. So I'm safe I think?

Well it isn't going to kill you, so you are safe.
As for the affected device(s)... they are scared.
Trust Windows security?

I mean, deny/allow window appears on phone not windows, I didn't allow because it didn't appear at all lol, sorry for my English

I didn't get this at all, so computer got no access through USB debugging then phone is safe right loool

Dont feel safe JUST yet...
If the adb window for granting keys does not show, that could be a warning sign, that adb MAY still be hacked (if hacked at all)
disconnect fone, go into developer options. look for revoke permissions, then plug fone back in, tell me if you see the window again?
Sometimes it goes into the background and you cant see it in time so it shuts you out...
If all goes well, on pc,
adb shell (should give grant window in fone)
settings put secure install_non_market_apps 1
settings put global adb_enabled 1
settings put global setup_wizard_has_run 1
settings put secure user_setup_complete 1
settings put global device_provisioned 1
settings put global development_settings_enabled 1
then even after a flash, if you never flashed your bootloader, you wont need to continually grant keys

Thanks for your time and answers brother..
But to make it more clear, I wasn't at a point where it had to show up (ADB window on phone), I just opened the app flashtool, I have seen it getting online stuff from GitHub and getting ready, after that it started detecting the phone after Malware Warning appeared on windows, at this time I just removed the phone and it wasn't into any mode. Only usb debugging was active.
I hope I make it more clear, and waiting your answers. Thanks a lot.

You've a virus in your pc, so fone wont allow you to connect until you remove virus ?
Deal with the virus first, then we'll probably find out your fone is fine...
Flashtool MAY be seen as a virus in windows so you may need to disable some security settings, it may not be a virus at all :O
Edit, best doing flashtool offline btw

I love you man, really I appreciate your time and help, now it's fine. I understand. Thanks a lot guys.

Fast boot issue - Reported as '????????????' then switches to splash screen

Hey guys,
First time trying to flash a rom (using Windows 11). At first the Razer phone 2 showed up in my device manager as 'Android' with a yellow warning sign. I managed sort that by installing the latest android_winusb.inf drivers, and it shows up in the device manager As oculus Device>Andriod Composite ADB interface (not sure why it's under the Oculus tab, I didn't use the Oculus driver).
I've tried all three drivers (ADB Interface, Bootloader interface and Composite ADB interface) and the results are the same. When I send the 'fastboot devices' command, it will report
''???????????? fastboot'' and then it switches to the razer logo with 'Powered by Android' and 'Press any key to shutdown' text and is no longer in fastboot mode.
I assume the question marks are supposed to be a serial number.
Anyone have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?
FYI, I've also tried 2 usb 2 ports, a usb 3, and two different Type A to C cables.

This happened to me. You need to run Powershell/Terminal in the path of the folder containing the Platform Tools. See example photo.

Thank you so much for your help, I will give this a try.

There is some sort of issue with Windows 11 and arter97-r12 and -r13. I was going to do a fresh install of SMR3 because of a few software issues and Google Play app updates. When booted into Recovery and making backups and moving files, I ended the session and rebooted "System" from TWRP boot menu. Upon execution, TWRP warned me there was no OS installed.. WORST NIGHTMARES. I've finally gotten it recovered, but what a MESS. Download platform-tools v33.0.1 from google and follow the directions from Razer to properly install ADB Fastboot drivers. See links below:
Platform-Tools: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Razer Driver installation: PDF attached
UPDATE: I found the issue was NOT necessarily my version of platform tools, It was my USB port. I am using a Surface Pro7 and tried multiple different cable and both the USB-C and -A ports to no avail. Would not communicate in fastboot mode, BUT, I then used a 4-port USB 3.0 hub, connected the phone, and all ADB/fastboot commands and communication functioned normally. once I figured this out, I was able to reinstall the proper drivers on Windows.

Same problem, u PC AMD?
