Definitely, you are! It should not work.

Ummmm.... works on mine too..........

sorry i should have been clearer
'' the 16gb card that ships with tmous hd2's doesn't usually work for flashing.''
(yea yea there are now gonna be half a dozen tmous users all saying they can, hehe)
((oh and i mean for stock rom flashing, of course, not android..))

[Q] Goldcard "replaced"

Hi all,
If i change my sdcard (using 32gb tutorial) and put a 1gb goldcard with unbranded Rom, it's possible to update my rom? It's impossible on my country get the correct "Y" cable (as viper tutorial).
Regards!

Unless you wanna end up with a bricked device with no warranty, no, it won't work, especially with a 1GB card!

Hi,
Do not kidding me, lol. It is easy to make Y-cable. Belive me !

I tried with 2 cables... Making green and white on devices (phone x usb card reader) and power (red, black) on usb or power charger and on both devices. No success :-(
Is there any special hint for this?
Thanks guy... I'm going crazy with this branded t- mo device.
Regards!

Actually, i've already done a cable using a "regular" Y cable, connect data on phone and an sd card reader, and another on power (follow the tutorial schema). But... Without lucky! Is there any special cable to buy? The cable on tutorial are only avaliable on amazon uk... And don't ships to my country. Anyone can help me?

[Q] Formatted /system, Download mode not working, extremiest HW USB modding

I-896, from the start USB was working in Lo-Speed mode when data transferring (1 Mb/s speed). I was too stupid to format /system from CWM and then reboot to Download mode which wasn't working (USB Device attached not recognized, blind ODIN and Kies). Can I somehow flash stock ROM? Is this an phone's MicroUSB-Female issue or deep hardware's one(processor, PCB)? Here are some photos of me trying to connect USB directly:

Did u see this sticky thread about Captivate - PC Connection Issues, etc? ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33227541
Did u try a Jig to get into Download mode ?? Here is a thead on how to make a Jig...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9238587

Yes, I've seen this thread (and many others too, done a small research for about 1 hour). Tried all the solutions from the threads. My phone easily switches to Download mode, but it isn't recognized by PC. And it's not a driver/cable problem because my second Captivate works properly.
To be more concrete: code 43 in Device Manager, Device not recognized in tray.

since you've got the phone opened up, clean the micro usb connector and check resistance of each connector contact to test point on board. then check resistance between pins. if 2 and 3 are shorted, power chip wont pass data to phone.
also, if you enabled fast usb charging in kernel, that would be problem.
you want battery out, good contact cleaner. get completely dry and clean before applying power.

Have never using Fast Charging (only GB ROMs and kernels), bought a new captivate with broken screen, now trying to get the phone working.
Why isn't power chip allowing to pass data to phone? I haven't normal multimeter at the moment. Can you advise me how to flash Captivate w/o USB? Is there a way? And, maybe, this bug appeared because my Captivate was from Rogers, not the I-897 one?

Well as far as I know, the Rogers one is an international phone, which is the i9000 not i879 (not 100% sure, correct me if I'm wrong) so that could have a lot to do with it.
As for flashing w/o usb, if you have an external SD card the phone can read yes it's possible but it's not advisable because you can completely screw yourself like I did . My phone currently won't boot besides Download Mode, Recovery Mode, and the bootscreen but since I don't have USB data connectivity I can't fix the phone (when I flashed speedmod kernel, everything went fine. But it doesn't read my external, so I can't flash my phone to fix it).
If you do choose to flash without a USB, please for the love of everything holy, MAKE SURE YOU ALSO PUT THE ROM .ZIP ON THE INTERNAL SD AS WELL

Actually the Rogers version is i896 and the other is i897. To my understanding the hardware is identical and shouldn't be a problem using stuff for the 897 with the 896.

Yes, I have now tested all the parts compatibility between I-896, I-897 motherboards and camera, part with cardreader, speaker, vibrator and sim-reader. All works properly.
How can I flash the ROM using my external SD card? I can't access it through CWM (can't even mount, I think mount binary was formatted with the /system partition). Is there a guide?

I can't access it either, hence why my phone is bricked :\.
If you have no access to the internal SD, you're in the same boat as me lol. If you know for a FACT that the usb port is damaged, there's a website that will repair it for you for about $35. However, you can usually get a used cappy from ebay for around $80-$100, so if there's more issues might as well just buy a new one and use the current for spare parts.
EDIT: Excuse my last post, I forgot you had already not been able to use the phone to access the internal SD. Long day at work

Just bought I-897 with a broken screen for 33 USD. I'm wondering if I can flash my old PCB someway, even if I'll need to find a hardware tool for this. Will try checking USB port's resistance, especially 2, 3 pins as was mentioned above.
MicroUSB consists of 5 pins, and the place where USB-F port is connected to PCB has 7 (as can be seen on photo). Where can I find a pinout for this one?

[Q] Lollipop SD card issue

Hey guys
I realise after upgrading to LP (rooted, BL locked), the SD card will not mount everytime I reboot the phone. If I go to "Storage" and click Mount SD Card, it will say mounting but nothing happens.
The phone knows the card is inside, but it just doesn't mount it. The temporary fix is to eject and reinsert the SD card and all works well.
I tried searching but can't find someone with the same bizarre situation. HELP! thanks!

1. remove sd-card reboot phone and insert it. then reboot to check if it s OK or not.
2. another solution is to format sd-card (thr might be issue with sd-card)
3. Repair xperia firmware by PC Companion (if thr s problem with xperia system)

Hey! I've got the exact same issue. My Z3C is rooted, and I'm running Lollipop 5.0.2. If I reboot my phone, it acts just as if there was no SD-card inserted. And just like you, I cannot manually "mount" it, I need to take it out and then reinsert it again.
And just like you, I have searched the web far and wide for a solution but nothing has helped.

Number 1 doesn't work.
Number 2 doesn't work.
as for number 3, I need to ask a question about this one: if I would use PC Companion to "repair" the firmware, as you suggest; would this really work when the phone is rooted?
I hope there's someone out there who might have an idea about a solution for this..

yup but you will lose ur root access by installing fresh firmware by Repairing option in PCC

Yeah Ok, thanks. So that's really not an option then, because I would really like to keep root.
Now, a question for OP:
What firmware, exactly, are you using on your phone? I mean, which version and from where is the FTF-file? I'm wondering if the firmware version and / or region could be the cause of this problem... trying to narrow it down here...

Hello , did you manage to solve this issue please ??? I have the same problem after updting my Z1C to lollipop , I used Generric DE pre-root with dual recover , phone only mounts SD if taken out and reinserted but if reboot it does not show althought I can acces through root browser
Thanks

Exactly the same issue here. After a reboot, the SD card doesn't show up in Settings->Storage or in MTP sessions (nor - I think - in apps such as Album/Music).
But it is always fully accessible from the file system, e.g. using Root Browser/ES.
The card is correctly recognised when I remove and re-insert it.
It's not a great problem as I try not to reboot my phone very often. For reference I'm using a rooted Russian .726. FW.

Funny how rooted phones are facing this

Same issue here, using rooted .28 LL FW.

The main problem to me is that i can not use recovery , i changed to italian pre rooted and samevissue as with german

I suggest downgrading to .93 Firmware ( KK ) then flashing Global .28 ( Lollipop ) firmware using Flashtool.
But it's highly unlikely it would be a software problem as most users don't experience this but are also rooted with Locked bootloaders. Maybe its the SD Card?

Both are the same class? It may look like a stupid question... but I had another problem and the issue was the brand. Maybe the class could be a problem?

Samsung micro SDHC evo 32 gb class 10 and SanDisk Ultra micro SDHC 32gb class 10 , the only issue is they do not ppear as mounted nor you can see them on pc unless you take them out and insert again , but both play the music and i can see the pictures on them but as they dissapear when you reboot the phone I can not use recovery , I can even with root browser I can see files on them

Oops forgot to update this thread.
Anyways I gave up looking for solutions until the phone refused to sleep AT ALL. I went ahead and reflashed KitKat and went through the whole procedure again.
The problem magically disappeared and has been fine ever since. Still rooted and lollipop.:good:

Exact same probleme here with my rooted z3 compact .726 and 64GB microSD card.
I replaced by new card, reformat many times, still same situation.
Card is always visible in totalcommander but not in the system.
It happen yesterday when i started the camera app for taking a picture. It worked for many weeks before without problem. Strange! [emoji43]

android version 9 one UI 1 I've been trying to change the rom like 3 4 months since i bought it but cant find anyway. Today i was trying to flash latest firmware that came out to germany only but it failed AGAIN lol and then it rebooted to this problem hha i have never seen phone like this. I tried unlocked Odin i tried to flash twrp its oem unlocked usb debugging enabled also i dont know what to do with this phone

Sounds like a flash issue. If it was stock I would simple say factory reset it.
My knowledge of flashing these devices isn't good at all though, sorry.
Hopefully someone with knowledge of this type of issue will be able to help you

WhatsApp media can take an incredible amount of space, and it's forced to internal storage. Give it a try. Something else you can use is X-Plore with the Disk Map functionality, it will give you a Pie Chart with the biggest space consumers.
