I apologize if thread is already posted.
I tried to flash my i9001 to stock firmware but ODIN won't recognize my device. Actually my widows XP machine won't recognize it either.
Tried with different machine and reinstalled drivers and still nothing.
I have installed CWM recovery mode and phone is rooted.
Any suggestions how to flash it to stock firmware ?
Thanks in advance

can you explain what you mean by "only when SGS+ is turned off ?!"
can you charge by USB Cable?

Its not only about the machines, its also about the USB cable and USB slot, you need to isolate the problem by way of elimination....get a hold of another original samsung USB Cable to isolate that is not the cause and than examine your Phone USB slot for damage/mislaigned pins ...you can try moving the usb plug to see, if connection is being established

considering the cables ... got one from Samsung and other from Nokia, also ac power adapter is yet another so we eliminated the possibility of broken cables .
Still day after I sucessfully installed CWM recovery mode with ODIN.
So I suspect a problem with firmware

Assuming you did not just buy any compatible cable, much to my regret, I myself have bought and found unusable .
and you have tried the Quick Guide
If phone is not being detected of a sudden (Quick Guide)
1. Reboot PC after a power cord pull and Reboot Phone after a Battery Pull , try USB connection
2. Try using a different Samsung USB cable (must be sumsung and nothing else)
3. Try a different USB port (use USB slots at the back of PC)
4. Try on a lap top or different PC
5. Try install nexus drivers - needed for ICS firmwares
6. Make sure you don't have fast charge on.
Trick : Putting your Phone into download mode and connecting it with USB cable to PC will do it automatically. Meaning drivers will be installed by windows If there are none.
Frankly, these works for me all the time, so I am a bit clueless as to why you are unable to. I mean losing USB connection is pretty common, happens every now and than.
You should also try switching off WIFI , reboot the phone, reboot the PC, start Odin and than plug in the phone ( this worked for some)
Since the USB is trying to connect but not recognized as to what it is, you should try again, this time using device manger as mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
thats all I can think of
Finaly solved my problem!
Thanks!
Nothing helped, thank you for your effort.
Is there any way to flash to stock firmware other than ODIN ?

Maybe your USB port is at the cell is broke... Or did you already try, to plug in the cable without battery in the phone? Did you try to directly flash a kdz file with smartflash, or did you unpack it to bin/fls files before?

The charge images are inside the boot partition if you overwrote that partition it would not show images when charging. What OS is your PC running? If its Linux run lsusb or cat /proc/devices to see if it detects it. Windows doesn't play nice with bairly working devices. I have no idea about how Mac handles it.

Same Here
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem as statet above. My phone is totally black.
nothing happens when i put it on charger,
nothing happens when i hold power button,
nothing happens when i hold power buton + down volume,
nothing happens when i remove battery, hold down volume and plug in usb.
My phone worked fine, i have used like 3 or 4 roms. i made a backup of a ROM.
This went totaly succesfull, just as it did before a couple of times.
After this backup it rebooted succesfully to my CM10 nightly.
Then it said my SD card got dismounted and i opend ROM manager and clicked on reboot to recovery.
and then i got in the situation where i am now.
can anyone please help me? im pretty scared that i bricked my phone.
Which is kinda odd because it wasn't aborted during any flash or backup.
Hardware cannot be damaged right ?

I will describe what programs showing because i have polish version and maybe you can't understand them:
When i'm trying to connect to pc companion when pc recognise phone i'm geting message PC companion could not connect with device disconnect device and try again
When trying do sof/hard reset nothing happens
When trying to pull in fastboot or flash mode pc recognise phone always the same in conrtol panel ZEUS FLASH device pc also recognise in thisa mode without battery and without pushing any buttons but i'm not geting any led Green or blue only when i'm conecting charger or usb cable WITHOUT battery it blinks red ones
When i'm trying to flash with flashtool or original update service when program is on screen asking me to connect the device i plug usb pc recognising the phone (usb connected device sound) but program doesn't start to flash or even recognise
i have also setool when i'm trying to flash by setool when program is waiting for device connecting bar is moving on down side of window when i connect the phone it is stoping like it tries to connect but nothing happens....
i was thinking to try this but i have cheked battery voltage and it is 3,88 so i thing it is fully charged:
Here are the steps I took successfully revise my phone from soft brick.
Let the phone charge (long long time = 4+ hrs) on wall charger.
Red light on (constantly - not flashing) - charge until red light off (again very long time =16+ hrs)
Unplug from wall
Run flashtool from PC and run flash .111 until it asks to put phone in flashmode
While hold volumn down and plug in USB
Red light will be back on, after a few seconds - flash will run.
Unplug USB then power on - phone will boot and die (it's okay don't worry)
Charge the phone again - after a while (or let it charge full), you can now turn on the phone.
That is all ... Back and running.
GOOD Luck.
Timing = could be different from phone to phone - depends on battery of the phone before it dead.
please do you have any idea? for me it hangs in some kind of boot mode and i don't know how to kick it fromthis and reflash if any screens can help please tell me i will do them

OK,
Yes thats true but it sounds similar to a problem I have come across before. But this happened when someone flashed the S1 update on the TX instead of the T.
Have you unistalled evrything android/sdk/adb related from your computer and started again.
Also, you can try another machine.
Are you on win8? That has issues with drivers from Sony.

I dont know where testpoint is on xperia T as we have never been down that road here.
Has he tried to use EMMA to flash something? That is meant only for unlocked bootloaders, maybe he has messed up with that, but I am onl guessing here and i cant really see why that would do anything to the boot...
Maybe he tried to flash it, dropped it, broke it, and thinks a software hack can help him....

Regardless if you have USB debugging on or off if you plug up to your PC in download mode you can use the LG PC SUITE software that comes on your phone, or download it from lg, to revive your phone.
You'll need your PC connected to the internet for this
Just put in download mode
Plug into PC
Open pc suite
At the top click mobile devices tab
In drop down click "restore upgrade error"
If it doesn't recognize your phone you will need your serial number and your device model number I.e D959, D950, D955, D958, etc.
Sit back and relax this takes about 10 mins
This is the only method I use now to restore my device. Works like a charm for me.
when the phone is softbricked and usb debugging is off you cant install all drivers my friend.and phone no connected with anything.thanks for your intresting

Yes. There is a folder on your c:\program data\lg ....something or other folder. go into it and into mobile phone folder I think its called. I'm not in front of my PC right now. But you'll find the folder you need in there. Just put the stock .kdz file in there. It must be the same version or newer than you're on. Or was on when it bricked.
I've even actually pulled the .kdz files from there after I used PC suite the first couple of times. Used them in the lg flash tool.

I've noticed, by accident, when I did the factory reset method \ steps to get into twrp, but for some reason twrp wasn't installed and it actually reset my phone.... And caused it to boot loop due to what ever i did to FUBAR it. Factory reset defaults USB debugging back to off but when in download mode it didn't stop PC suite from "restoring upgrade errors" and flashing my flex back to stock. I've used it so much I now make sure my PC at work has it and the .kdz on it. My laptop has it and I have a flash drive in my truck with PC suite & .kdz on it. Lmao. Yeah I get a little ballsy sometimes and try just about anything. OK a lot but I always have a way back now.
my friend try this with pc suite and it stop in 0%.not run.and my interner connection is very good.why?
I have no clue. Try different usb cable if you don't have the one the one that came with it. I've noticed my flex and nexus 7 don't like some cheaper no name brand cables when transferring files or using adb. They seem to be fine with just charging. I use mostly my usb cable that came with my moto razr hd maxx. Only cuz it stays connected in the micro end better. And I have no clue what happened to the original.
Also make sure you have the latest LG drivers installed.
Sometimes to get the old "offline method" to work I would have to make sure no Samsung drivers were installed or Motorola drivers, Kies, or moto device manager. If any were I would have to uninstall them and the LG drivers. Restart Windows. And re install the latest LG drivers.
So not sure what exactly did the trick but I did all of it just to make sure and something helped. Try that. Don't plug in your flex till after LG drivers are installed and you have restarted Windows. I don't know but seems like what ever sequence or install or uninstall of drivers I've done now works all the time. Before we got bump I would go from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 a couple times a week just to fool around a few days till something I modified or themed would bootloop me and I would get passed and go back to 4.2.2 and swear I'm not leaving JB till we have a custom recovery on KK. But my A.D.D. would get the better of me and I ,..... oh yeah I gotta run get some,.... oh never mind I'll .... huh oh yeah my A.D.D. it causing crack flashing syndrome. Lmao
I am on F340K Rooted Stock recovery Kitkat 4.4.2 V20D.
after changing my build.prop I forgot to set permissions.
Now I am unable to fix permissions through adb... although I succesfully Pushed the Original backup file from my PC..
I have two backups of Build.prop in my phone also.. One in system directory with the name of Build.prop.bak and 2nd is external sd card.
please advise me what to do?. I can access phone though Volume+Power = LG service Manaual (which is shown in ADB as Recovery device)
whereas Original Stock recovery Volume down+Power have an Android Logo with Red Triangle...
Is there a way I can install/ Push Some custome recovery Like Freedom Flex Bumped cwm or twrp to my phone? Fixing permissions through ADB Operation not Permitted or Permission denied error
My phone unsuddenly bricked after I reboot my phone.Can't even boot into recovery cause Sony logo appear for a second and turned off.My phone even don't charge.I tried to flash stock rom via flashtool but phone not detected or after pressing vol down button nothing happened.I also tryed to use fastboot mode to flash boot.img but nothing happened though My phone can turn into fastboot mode.What should I do now?Senior XDA members please help.:crying:
Edit:how can i fix adb "device not found" issue?I installed all the necessary drivers but still not solved. Can't flash stock rom because vol down button not working but the button is fine.
Edit2:How can I fix adb driver issue that not recognizing my phone?
Problem solved!

I don't think so because this happened to me long ago when I tried to unlock bootloader.But I did something to the driver to work adb properly and it worked.And now I forgot that method and couldn't find in google also.So I'm really in big trouble.I just don't know why when I want to flash the stock rom and flashtool show in popup to power off the phone and press vol down button and connect to computer using usb cable but vol button don't work or not give any signal to computer.So I can't flash the rom.
Go to sony official site and download drivers.. ZR drivers dont exist but you can use drivers for Z, install those on your computer and use the fastboot method again and you should be fine.. Your phone is only soft bricked.. Hard brick is when there are absolutely no life in the phone at all.. Use a boot.img you know will work and no need to flash stock ROM once you're in recovery.. Unless you want to of course.. Custom ROM will boot your phone just fine
Also take your battery out and re-insert to make sure your phone is properly off.. Flashtool should also work after that

ZR driver exist in Sony developer website and I installed the driver but I don't know why my computer not recognizing my phone.My phone can turn into fastboot mode(blue light on when pressing vol up and connecting cable to pc) but when I type command "adb devices" the listed device is empty I mean no adb fastboot device found.I'm just asking the drivers are not working beacuse of windos 10?Actually when after I use custom rom I couldn't connect my phone to pc.So any driver can fix this problem?I searched really hard on google but couldn't find any proper sloutions.

Windows 10 is a pain to install drivers into.. But use fastboot in flashtool instead of flasmode.. Should recognize your phone and flash the boot image from there

I know you are trying to help me but I tried everything and nothing is working.I installed driver from flashtool but still no clue why pc not recognizing my phone.My phone is like a live junk.My phone soft bricked many times and I could recover my phone with flashtool so I know what to do but this problem is way more confusing.I just need to know what is causing this issue.
You've managed to install the drivers inc the lagan drivers in flashtool and connected your phone in fastboot mode with flashtool running and flashtool still don't recognize your phone? I've done that loads of times even with no drivers installed and flashtool has been able to recognize the device in fastboot.. If that's the case, then I'm sorry I'm not able to help any further as flashtool has always been my failsafe when things have gone wrong.. Adb and fastboot are usually no help for me in Windows 10..

Flashtool is the best tool to recover soft bricked phone I know but this problem is way more complicated.
Thanks that you tried to help me.I hope I'll figure it out some time later.

My problem was created because local charger damaged my phone battery.So I couldn't turn on my device like yours.I replaced the battery and charger from Sony Center and now my phone is good as new.So Try to use other good battery(small or similer size that suites to your phone's battery pin)and see if your phone turns on without any issue.Then you can target the problem.
