[Q] Semi-bricked, USB not recognized, doesn't even charge

Hi!
After searching the forums for a while I did not find a thread exactly matching my problem, so if I've overseen it, please just point me there.
To my problem:
I did a very stupid mistake, flashing a new custom ROM with a different kernel (as usual, cooked in Docs Kitchen) without converting back the lagfix. So I ended up with a non-booting phone - so far, so bad. Note to myself: Never flash a phone during the carnival weekend again.
So I booted into download mode and tried to recover it via Odin, but here I got my really bad surprise: USB device is not recognized, thus I Odin does not see the phone.
I tried 4 different PCs with Win7 or XP, a Linux desktop and a Macbook. I also tried 5 different USB cables (they all work with other smartphones like the Desire and the HD2). Wherever I stick the phone in, it is not recognized (code 10/code 43 in Win7). I used the stand-alone-drivers from the sticky forum thread here, and also most recent Kies versions, always the same: USB device not recognized.
Does anybody have an idea how to revive the USB connectivity? I'm almost at the point to send it in for repairs...
Or can someone elaborate how I could have killed USB with corrupting the ROM? I've to admit I do not really understand how these two are connected.

Hi Amokbunny
You get into download mode but the PC won't recognize the phone?
That's messy and I can think of nothing that could have done that. you did not change the bootloader did you (flashed a full samsung ROM containing a bootloader, for example VJ1)?
If not I guess it's a hardware issue.

formatted to ext4 without any backup
I did a very stupid mistake too. Got darky's rom 9.3., installed i, everything worked great(really awesome thing), then i wnt to recovry mode and entered tthe speedmod and it showed mr that my phone has rtf files system not EXT4 as it should be, thou i installed the speed mode. then i chose to repartition it to ext4 but i didn't choose the backup. Just clicked to format the sd. It did formatted to EXT4, rebooted, i saw the darky's rom logo and the the phone vibrated and the logog of the droid just flashed. I tried to enter recovery mode-didn't load. Started the download mode connexted to pc used ODIN 1.7 with PDA I9000XXJPY.tar, MODEM I9000XXJPY.tar, GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPY-LITE.tar s1_odin_20100512.pit.
The phone has started, appeared teh stok galaxy s logo and it's just flashing. Help needed. Don,t know what to do know. I have galayx s i9000 european version.

somehow i've managed to install new firmare 2.2.1 /I9000XXJPY-baseband /2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1-kernel version, but z4root isn't working. When i start permanent root the programm ends on aquiring root shell, the debug mode is on

Got it all running, installed Darky's rom 9.3. Thanks anyway.

Yep, I can boot into download and recovery modes, but that's it.
The only apparent change in the new custom ROM was the kernel.
I also cannot really access my external SD card (it shows me some phantom files, but not the actual content of the SD), otherwise I'd try to recover it this way.
I agree with the hardware issue, if it wouldn't have coincided with the flash procedure...anyway, I think I'll send it in for repairs if I don't get it to run on this sunday.

I have the exact same problem, except that I can access my external SD. I got the problem after upgrading to Darkys Rom 9.3 the usual way, but switched from Speedmod to Voodoo. After that update, my USB didn't work anymore.
I can't get neither Xp or Win 7 to recognize my phone. USB device not recognized, and tried all the tricks. Reinstalling Kies and drivers, switching between the different modes (storage, kies media, ask, debug...) But still no USB connection.
I updated to darkys 9.5 (transferring the rom using bluetooth, and updating using CWM), but still it doesn't work.
Can get it into download mode, but still can't connect using USB and Odin.
HELP!
Did anybody ever find a solution for this?
European version of I9000, bought in Denmark. No Simlock

Same thing here after installing JV1 + Ultibread Rom 1.4... Still no solution

*shameless push*
Any solution here? I dont have that problem, but it sounds too scary to not have a working solution :S

Same prob here! Any news?

Any solution? I have the same problem.

But if you are in download mode on your fone you'd rather should have a look at your configuration on the computer. Because the fone still can be flashed if the symbol for download still appears.
- Kies is shut down while ODIN is active?
- latest Samsung USB driver installed?
- Odin started with Admin?
Btw. did you try to get into recovery mode? Maybe this also still is working as the partition is quite small and chance high that it was flashed w/o faults. So you may be able to flash a zipped ROM rather than a tarball for Odin.

USB Not working when Phone plugged in... try these..
Unplug Device from PC..
Windows go to Device Manager...
Scroll down to Universal serial bus Controllers
Start with the top one and work your way down ..uninstall them all..
When done reboot Computer and let it install them all.. then try again
2.Settings --> USB Setings (under wireless & network may differ depending on Rom used) --> Try other settings Mass storage
3.Different USB ports on PC
4.Uninstall KIES from PC (reboot PC to take effect) and Reboot and just install samsung USB drivers....
5.Using windows type in msconfig in Start>Run box... windows will pop up and untick KIES from STARTUP TAB
Apply to take effect and restart machine.. try using ODIN to Flash ROM
I myself only use the Samsung USB drivers and ODIN never use KIES
or ...Check my signature and try SD formatter

Need to flash Ativ S missing drivers?

Hi all.
I started experiencing weird problems with my Ativ S, so I thought I do a hard reset and start clean. I got stuck to a known issue with the Ativ and GDR3, where after hard reset the apps wont instal from the store. The only solution I saw was to flash the device. I have the GDR2 rom so I thought no problem, however I cant get the drivers to instal on the download mode so I could start the flash process.
I have tried to instal 2 different drivers: SamsungUSBDriver.msi and I8750_Qualcomm_USB_composite_driver_HK11-VB717-38.zip Neither of these (that I found, if they are the correct packages) have worked so that the Ativ is recognized correctly in the download mode and I could start flash. When Ativ is connected in the download mode, its only seen as USB DOWNLOADER with exclamation point at device manager.
Im running 64bit Windows 8.1 Pro system.
Any suggestions are welcomed! Thanks!

And installing SamsungUSBDriver.msi results in an error pictured here. Although next time trying to instal the driver is present as it gives an repair option.

Ok so I found this, probably somthing that could be expected: 2. Install Driver on your PC (i had problems with win 8.1 X64, win7 X64 installation fine)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391138
So I would need a Win7 system, no idea where I would have one... Other suggestions for this?

Ok problem solved by installing Windows 7 to a empty drive just for this flashing. Luckily I didnt have to instal any updates, just the os and the usb driver.

X98 air 3g (C5J8) bricked (bootloop after 2.02 bios flashing)

Huho, I think I bricked my Teclast X98 air 3G (C5J8) by flashing the 2.02 bios on it...
I installed the last Mirek 7.0 rom and lost my Windows boot so I tried to flash the 2.02 bios to recover it and now the tablet bootloop, I only see the red marking and it boot again....
Here is the video of the issue: https://youtu.be/8v7EM0D21rk
I tried to access to the bios, it works, but there are no boot devices recognized.
Any idea about how to recover that ? (I made a save of of my bios before the flash so I have the working bios, i just don't know how to flash it again)

Just for info, you use Mirek's flash tool for flash bios or you use another way?

i did some (custom) tool to restore the bios but only for the m5c5 mode (you can find it already as the owner wich asked me for that has an open thread here on X98 forum) and i don't know how much these models are compatible (and better not make assumptions when it comes to bios). in order to make a similar one for those who need a bios restore for the c5j8 model i need an owner to send me:
1. the bios file (it's a 8MB file)
2. the droidboot.img from the stock rom
i don't have a X98 device (mine is a Yoga Tab 2 - 13")

Here are the files: https://mega.nz/#F!AU5DkCRL!OaoPDyAlg0G4FFf1KkPc6w
If you could do something, I could be awesome !!!!

Hi.
I have the same problem.
Did you manage to fix it somehow?

Teclast X98 Air III (m5c5) - Problem to boot usb key (Win10) from BIOS

Hi everybody,
I spent my time to find a solution to install Windows 10 but without success...
I followed tutorials but i'm blocked at the moment where I select my key into the Bios (2.05) -> Boot override and nothing happens it flash quickly and I can select the key indefinitely.
Someone can help me ?
Many thanks.

Hi, there are a few key things you need to do to ensure proper recognition and install:
1. Windows must be 32bit (no connection to your issue just mentioning it, because 64bit install will brick your device)
2. Use Rufus tool to create a bootable drive and in the Partition Scheme menu choose GPT
If you do all of the above and your flash drive is not faulty, you should not encounter any issues
If you still do, try to turn off your device and turn it on by keeping the power + volume up buttons together to get the dual boot screen. From there you should be able to click on the windows icon if your flash drive is prepared correctly and the setup will start.
P.S. Silly quiestion but are you sure you have the dual OS bios?

Hi,
Step 1 already did but in the second step when I keep power + volume up nothing happens only booting.
I don't think I have the DualBios but I can't find the right files with a good tutorial.
Thanks

Hi, I did flash a dual os bios form c6j8 to my m5c5 (which now works fine with Windows 10 32bit), but you must understand you do that at you own risk and may cause you to brick your device.
This is the thread that explains how to flash the bios https://forum.xda-developers.com/x98-air/help/unbrick-bios-softbrick-withouth-eeprom-t3285054 and you can find the dual bios for c5j8 around the forum. If you can't I can zip mine and post them somewhere.

Hi,
I don't want to take this risk but thank You.
Do You have an idea if we can install Android 6.0 or 7.0 on this tablet ?

[SOLVED] Bricked GT-S5830 - USB device malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it?

Hi all,
my first post! I stupidly messed around with my recently obtained GT-s5830 (The shop says its and 830i but the device says it's an 830 - shoulda checked the bloody firmware!)
Stupidly I didn't follow good procedure even though I know better and just tried updating from .zip via SD with a new OS but can't remember which atm as the only copy is on the SD and I can't access that right now. This install caused a bootloop and i then tried to install cwm. But alas now my phone boots to black, my bootloader is blue screening and I can only get to the download screen. But Windows can't start the device. I had a BOS error before and now after lots of trying different things its saying "A device which does not exist was specified." in Device Manager.
Honestly I didn't think lots about it cause it's a cheapy phone and I thought I'd just flash it back to the original firmware (which I now can't source online) and it'd be fine, done this before right? But thinking about it, i couldn't see the device in Windows 10 before i flashed it, so I'm wondering if the USB connection is buggered anyway, and now I can't get to the SD or boot screen to use the SD. I can't remember if I definitely switched USB debugging back on before I flashed last.
I know I've been an idiot but can someone help please? I really want to try the new OSs for teh device and see if I can get a faster, lightweight device. But I just can't get windows 10 to see it!!! I've tried changing the power settings, manually updating the drivers with nearly any driver I can find, deleting upper and lower filters in regedit, creating an ignore on the bos descriptor in Regedit (not sure if it's done correctly though)....Please help!

Just to let people know in case they're looking for a fix - this registry key stops the error and I can now see my device in ODIN. Can't see it in adb or fastboot yet but getting there
