A few months ago the charger port on my wizard snapped off, so i got out my soldering iron soldered it back on, everything worked fine. apart from the fact that it didn't sync. i live with this as i use linux and rarely need to sync i just bluetooth stuff across.
But today i bricked my phone, and can't start it (hangs on startup). so i try and flash it but i cant as it doesnt sync.
so i'm wondering if anyone has a reTouched backup rom that i can flash from SD card with? as i rely on my phone greatly.
and t-mobile are saying i can't upgrade untill january (even though my dad was able to upgrade and i got mine around the same time both on 18 month contracts)
so please anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Did you try to hard-reset your phone?
Pressing CommManager + VoiceCommand button with the reset hole, then press Talk button when prompted.

I just had that problem, and it was discussed in detail in the thread I linked above. Happy reading and good luck!
You don't have any other option except to get your mini usb port repaired of your phone,in order to unbrick or flash any other rom to your phone.
the option you are talking about is not possible, as Sdcard image created by any other phone can not be flashed to another phone,as at the time of creating backup image on Sdcard,the method uses some values from the same device that are stored at the first 0x200 bytes ,therefore, Sdcard image of one phone can not be flashed to another phone,it can only flash back the image created by the same phone.
try to revive your phone by Hard reset,it might get ok,although by doing Hard reset you'll loose all your personal data,but it might revive the phone,otherwise in any case try to get mini usb repaired.
On second thought,are using any Sdcard already in your phone ?if yes take out the Sdcard and Hard reset,it might do the trick,sometimes if Sdcard needs formate,it freezes the splash screen,good luck
I've tried a hard reset, doesnt seem to work. allthough it did once but then same thing happened next time i soft reset.
i'm using the .Mun. wm6 rom
i just took it back apart gave it a clean (cleared the tons of sand blocking it up)
resoldered the usb port
now i get "Device not recognized" where as before i got nothing.
I'm thinking i need a new phone

hmmmm, I think it's woken up ,I hope,do one more thing, uninstall Active sync, reboot your pc,download latest Active sync ver 4.5 and update your pc to Windows Installer 3.1 from Windows update,Install the new active sync 4.5 and try to synchronize,lets hope it'll do the trick,no harm giving it a try this way
On second thought,to check if the mini usb port of your phone has started to work is to get your phone off the usb cable,try to go into bootloader mode on phone and when in bootloader mode connect usb cable to phone and your pc,if after connecting you see a small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloader screen of your phone,than VOILLA! your all set to flash. good luck
I tried the bootloader again and i did get the USB in the corner, but, it still refuses to sync or flash (i also reinstalled activesync and everything necessary).
seems a bit strange. anyway, whenever i plug it in a get the bubble saying "device not recognized" etc etc
click that it registers as "unknown device"
Which has no drivers
"No drivers are installed for this device.
If you are having problems with this device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter."
are there any extra drivers needed for the actual device? and yes i have tried the update drivers option doesnt seem to find anything.
EDIT:
I forgot to say, i did manage to hard reset and get it working, its just incredibly slow and unreliable and im still looking to flash it.
'I tried the bootloader again and i did get the USB in the corner, but, it still refuses to sync or flash (i also reinstalled activesync and everything necessary)'.
Ok,some encouragement here,let me explain,while flashing a rom,you don't require to establish connection through active sync,infact,while flashing active sync is automatically disabled by ruu.. itself.ok
now lets try this,if you say that when in bootloader,usb is shown,then kill the active sync altogether for awhile being.Before connecting your phone to the pc via usb,disable active sync,right click active sync icon in the task bar, click 'connection settings' and remove check from 'Allow usb Connection' and 'open active sync when my devics connects'.than open 'Task Manager',click processes tab and find 'wcescomm.exe' process,hit 'end process',this will close active sync altogether.
Now if you have the official Rom of your carrier,if not download it from your carriers official website.Go into bootloader mode on your phone,connect phone to pc vis usb,when it shows usb there open rom and run RUU..,hope it'll flash your device,it's a faint try but no harm trying,good luck
Go to my thread linked above...it is actually discussed...
In a nutshell...
go to device manager and tick "show hidden devices"
scroll down to usb, uninstall "unknown device"
using task manager kill wescomm.exe (or something to that name)
shut down any firewall
shut down your pc, AND pull the plug for at least 30 seconds
replug the power to pc, boot up
check in task manager to make sure wescomm.exe didn't restart, kill it if it did
make sure firewall didn't restart
now force bootloader
plug in phone
look for corner usb
work quickly...reflash your phone before you lose any connection
"the update utility cannot connect to your pda phone..." etc
doesn't seem to be working, but i still do get the usb in the corner

If you followed the directions, you should be able to flash the phone. Mine was tempermental but it DID flash. You need to make sure you follow the directions...and one more thing...
turn off your phone, unplug it, remove the battery for 10 seconds, power it on, then plug it in...after doing all the other steps. That's what got mine to read...and flash
Big problem. Suddenly my phone will not turn on. Sits at the white Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen and does not boot. When I put it into download mode and plug it into computer, its suddenly saying "USB Device Not Recognized".
What do I do? PC won't recognize it, it wont boot. can't flash it.....I'm freaking out here...
Did you flash anything to it or root it?

Hi Rick. Try to re-install samsung usb drivers. during this time, take out the battery from the phone. once finished installing the drivers, put back the battery into the phone. Go into downloading mode. Fire up odin, put in the necessary firmwares + pit files. Once done, then CONNECT your phone to the usb port of your computer.
Hope it's okay.
Edit: Let's hope that it is the computer usb drivers are corrupted. Alterntively, if you still can't do it, try it on another pc.
Nope. I was rebooting it to flash XXJPC to it, but couldnt do so because it was saying that USB message and wouldnt detect it. So I went into recovery, did a factory reset, and now it wont boot.
Another computer does the same thing *tears*
*BUMP*
Lets try a different route. I will pay a generous sum of money to anyone who offers to and does manage to fix this for me?
rick, looking at this, if your usb is not recognised, it is either the pc or the phone usb port might be damaged.
if it is a hardware issue, then use the bounty to get it fix.
I was at that same point with my vibrant. After failed attempts of getting into download mode using buttons, here's what I did.
Download and install samsung usb drivers and android sdk.
Plug into the computer and use adb to get into download mode (adb reboot download).
Then flash with odin.
Doing that worked for me when nothing else would. Try it ?

I can get into download mode just fine.....my pc just doesnt recognize the usb device. tried 3 differente pc's, 2 running win7 and one running xp.
Did you install usb drivers on each of the machines?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I installed the samsung USB driver executable. and I also tried to use those drivers that it installs to manually update the "unknown USB device" in device manager, but they won't take.
Try uninstalling all drivers, then stick a MicroSD in your phone before plugging it into the usb.
Assuming you have Samsung Kies in your PC, try to upgrade it at 1.5.1.10074_45.
How long do you wait the boot?? The first boot after flash is very long, wait at least 5 minutes with flashing "S".
I did not just flash anything. My phone got really hot and laggy (as I was using it while charging it via USB port) and so I rebooted phone in an attempt to resolve the lag. when I did, it would not go past the WHITE Samsung Galaxy S I9000 screen, does not get to the flashing S screen.

if i understood you correctly, you have two separate problems:
a) your phone does not boot up
b) your phone is not recognized by any computer when plugged in
could be a coincidence, but probably is not. i'm guessing your bootloader got screwed up somehow. if it is a coincidence, it could be that your usb port on the phone is effed, or your usb cable is dead. try first using a different cable and see if your phone can be recognized by any computer. perhaps then you can go into download mode and reflash.
also, have a look at this post, might help you (although, if your usb is effed, there's not much point in trying any solution that involves your phone being connected to a computer): http://androidforums.com/780720-post3.html
EDIT: also, have your tried the obvious stuff, like pulling battery?
I ve seen many threads with the white screen problem ... it has in most cases been the drivers ... you desinstall all drivers from pc using Kies option for resinstall the drivers ... then you pull the battery off few sec (give it a min or two) then you get to download mode and you flash the beast ... dont connect your phone before launching odin or else it will not be recognized ...
for the few other people who didn't manage to fix it ... it was a hardware failure
That post you linked, is worth a try. But its for a motorola.....Where do I get my SGS bootloader to use instead?
ohh you were implying to try to use the motorola usb drivers?

I never said anything about a white screen. and I am not uneducated on flashing SGS, or using Odin. Far from it. My phone was first showing USB symbol when it wasnt plugged into USB port, then phone started running really hot while charging and got really bloated like it was overheating. So I rebooted and its now force closing at the first boot animation. I can get into download mode and recovery, but will not recognize in any of the 3 computers all running different versions of windows on them, with either of my USB cables that I tried.
Hello guys.
I got a galaxy s (GT-I9000) from someone, so don't know what theyve been doing with it. Anyway, when I try to turn the phone ON, either it goes to the cyanogen mod splashscreen and reboots, and does that on a loop. Or it simply doesnt turn on. I cannot get into recovery mode, however I can get into download mode. I usually have to pull the battery a few times before I can either turn it on or get into download mode. Yesterday, when I plugged it in USB while OFF, no indication of charging (atleast visual) on screen was visible. Today, I plugged it in USB while phone was OFF and the battery indicator is seen, but battery si empty and only white "cirsle" is on middle, doing nothing. It stays that way for about 20-30 seconds, then the screen goes black, and only the white circle thingy is seen for a few seconds, then goes back to battery with that circle.
Anyway, when I got it in download mode a few times, I tried to plug it in PC to do something with ODIN, but it doesnt detect it. Windows says "USB Device Not Recognized" with the yellow triangle. I searched threads here and on google, and tried all I could think of.
So, I tried to reinstall drivers atleast 3 times, rebooting the PC in the process, cleaning the registry each time. Tried all of my 6 USB ports on PC. Tried 2 USB cables.
I had a galaxy s before, and setup on my PC was fine (so the drivers, cables, usb ports) were all OK, I could use odin and all. Thats why I dont think the problem is on my PC, or I must be missing something.
I have win7 x64 for the record.
I would just like to get this phone to work, any suggestions?

I will probobly try to get phone recognized by odin on a win XP pc today or tommo. IF that wont work, I read about something that JTAG could help me.. Can anyone confirm?
I'm having exactly the same problem actually. My son's S1 was running an old version of DarkyROM (back from when it was mine) and it got a bit messy so I decided to run it up to a CM9 nightly. Ran the Heimdall stuff as per instruction, got CM9 up and running but hosed it when I tried to flash the Google Apps package. From thereonin, formats and clearing everything leaves it upbootable but recovery and download are easily accessible. Odin just doesn't see it though.
Cause?
---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------
Oh yes, I might add that I can still mount by USB and upload ROMs etc. however trying to reinstall CM9 now gives me a Status 7 error and kicks me out. Grr.
---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
Possibly solved. Go here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/41704-cant-install-cwm-recovery-on-my-rooted-galaxy-s2/
Heimdall seems a little picky, so if it throws up an error when everything seems fine then run zadig.exe in the /drivers folder of the Heimdall install, Options > List All Drivers, select Samsung USB Composite device in the dropdown and Install/Replace the driver. Do this in download mode. Then use the Heimdall frontend to push the stock ROM to your phone as per that link.
Yep. Just checked. Phone now booting. Give me a shout and I'll help you do exactly what I did.
I can now confirm that the PC setup, drivers, cable and pc usb ports are all fine. Had another GT-I9000 from a friend and odin connected instantly, could flash stuff no problem.
So on my GT-I9000 something else must be the problem. Can anyone give me another option or is the JTAG my only option?
So when I turn the phone ON, "GALAXY S CyanogenMod" appears and loops... I cant get into recovery using VOL+ ; power ; menu (or any other button combo, must have tried everything) but I can get into download using VOL- ; power ; menu... But if I connect phone to PC, odin dont see it and windows says "USB Device Not Recognized".
I've heard of people getting connected with nexus drivers, who knows what was on the phone before right.?
Sent from my I9000 running JW5 with Dmore3.3 and Semaphore 2.7.4
When you press volume down + Home button + power on then you get the Download screen on the phone. However, that does not allow Odin to detect the phone and make the COM box turn yellow. You also need to press the volume up in order to activate the Download mode and turn the COM box yellow.
OKAY I have an update!!
I sent the phone to be JTAG(ged). I have no idea what they did, but the phone boots up now! I can use it normal, I can go to stock recovery or to download mode.
However, I have a new problem now. I cant connect the phone to PC with usb cable, it doesnt detect it. The phone makes the "sound" when I connect the usb cable, battery icon gets that electricity power icon, so it chatges, but on windows I get "USB device not recognized" with yellow triangle.
I tried it with USB debugging on AND off, I tried all 3 modes in usb settings (mass storage, kies, media player) and always same result.
Tried to connect while in download mode, even pressed volume up while connected (once tried to hold vol up, made no difference). Odin dont detect it, and windows says "USB device not recognized" with yellow triangle.
What could be the issue here? What else can I try? I will point out that PC setup should be fine (tried another I9000 from a friend worked no problem) but just in case, I will uninstall drivers, wipe registry, install new drivers, try every usb port and 2 usb cables to try to get it connected.
Any ideas?
Hello! My LG P880 was Cyannogen CM11 mod, but was a little slow. So I decided to downgrade it to CM 10 I lowered the phone settings, installed it, but when it restarted was giving infinite loop.

Already reinstalled the driver on the PC but not accomplish anything. Trying to install the original rom by LG flash tools but it does not recognize. I tried to get into recovery mode but nothing. Help please !!:crying::crying::crying:

Weird how your phone makes you get a blue screen of death.
Can you say what it writes in blue screen? And also try your luck on another PC.My sister's laptop could not recognize my phone no matter what I did.
Blue screen is most likely due to some broken software/hardware on your PC rather than a problem with your phone itself.So do try it on another PC.
Can you also say, how it doesn't go into recovery mode? When you hold vol - plus power, does it make the phone reboot, vibrating but still stuck on LG screen or does it not even vibrate?

don't worry, the problem is your PC not your phone
try this 2 fix your pc:
start CMD with administrator privilege -->
chkdsk /f /r -->press enter --> Y
restart the computer, if you lucky it will fix you pc and you will be able 2 fix your phone
(the fix/test take 1-2 hours, depending on how big your HD and if you have errors/bads ectors)
if you r not lucky, you probably have driver collision and it more tricky 2 explain how 2 fix.
anyway, if you in a hurry do it in another computer

its very strange that u got blue screens in both computers.....
the error code that u gave usually points that something wrong with mscorsvw.exe and/or NET framework.
i would recommend to update to the latest NET framework or even uninstall it and install it again.
Another good idea is 2 install the Android SDK (it installs a universal usb driver), this might help - ill try this before reinstalling NET frame.
i hope it helps...
I'm in a big predicament. A few weeks ago I installed the MOAR ROM on my Note 5. After installing this ROM I was no longer able to connect my phone to PC. I tried a Windows 8 PC which says I have an unrecognized USB device plugged in. I tried going into Developer settings to set USB mode to MTP but the option didn't exist. I had all USB drivers installed as well. My wife's phone is recognized no problem. When plugging the phone into my linux machine absolutely nothing happened. It used to show the phone in the left navigation panel in my window manager but after installing MOAR ROM it was no longer detected.
Anyway, today I was trying to play Cartoon Wars 3 and since my phone is rooted it wouldn't let me play. I decided to go into the Super User app and disable it to see if the game would work and it didn't. When I went to re-enable the app it said installation failed and asked me to reboot. I clicked reboot and was sent into a boot loop. I thought okay no big deal, I'll just restore a backup in TWRP. When I go to restore the backup and select the backup file it asks which partitions to restore, but there are no boxes to check. It usually has options like system and data but now it's just blank. I tried a factory reset and I'm still in a bootloop. I'm at a complete loss. I don't know what else to do. I've tried download mode and everything but no matter what I do my phone isn't detected by my pc.
I appreciate any help. I don't know what to do. I'm out of a phone right now and don't have a backup. Not to mention I'm in between jobs right now and can't afford a new one right now.
Just flash a stock rom from sammobile.com
Pre req:
*Odin(any vers)
*Stock rom
Steps
*Extract the downloaded stock rom in your PC
*In twrp wipe everything except internal, then boot in to download mode.
*Once in download mode, connect your phone to your pc, then open Odin.
*In Odin, check the "AP" section and locate the downloaded stock rom(the extracted one)
*Hit start.
Hpe that helps

Thank you for your reply but it seems you didn't read my post. My phone is not recognized by any pc.
What is the terminal command to restore a backup? That's pretty much my last ditch effort.
Well I broke my recovery so I'm screwed. I contacted Samsung and they said they would service it for free. Wish me luck.
What would cause the phone to stop being recognized by the PC? I narrowed it down to the MTP software or the micro usb charge port. My Windows computer says Device Descriptor Request Failed. Linux box does nothing. No USB devices are listed when I run lsblk.

when your phone is in download mode,it doesn't work to connect it with samsung kies on your pc?
You could try using the Kies software to reload the stock firmware. Here's an overview of what to do:
- if you don't already have the Kies software installed on your PC, download it (just search Google) and install it. The first time it runs it'll update itself to the latest version so make sure you run it once before proceeding.
- put your phone in Download mode: with the phone completely off, press and hold the Volume Down and Home and Power buttons simultaneously, and release them all when you see the Samsung splash screen
- connect the phone to your PC with the USB cable that came with the phone
-- if you've never had the phone connected to your Windows-based computer before, you'll see messages about installing drivers, etc - just wait until this is done (may take 5 or 10 minutes) [I don't know what happens if you have a Mac - it probably just works]
- in the Kies software, select the second item in the Tools menu and just follow the prompts to enter the model number (in CAPS) and IMEI/Serial Number (both found under the battery - it's ok to remove the battery at this point)
- the Kies software should start downloading the correct firmware for your phone from the Internet; once that's done (depending on your Internet connection speed) it'll begin downloading that to the phone (this probably takes 10 minutes or so)

Kies doesn't work either. I already tried that. When I hook up the phone It says "Device Descriptor Request Failed". It used to connect to my computers until I put MOAR ROM on the phone. Since then it stopped being recognized by my computers. There's either something wrong with the connection or something got corrupted.

What have you already tried?
- are you sure you're using a data cable and not a charging-only cable?
- have you tried a different computer?
- have you installed the Kies software?
- what does Device Manager show when the phone is connected?
- assuming that the phone is working normally, does the phone show anything when you connect it?
- do you have try windows 8 or 10?

I've tried 4 different cables. My wife's S5 works perfectly fine on all computers. I have tried in Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. I've also tried in Linux Mint. It used to work until I installed MOAR Rom. Windows says Device Descriptor Request Failed. Linux doesn't do anything when hooked up. lsblk doesn't show the device either.
I have a bit of an update. Apparently something happened with all my data cables. I hooked up my wife's phone the other day and I was all of a sudden receiving the same error as the note 5. I went out and bought a new data cable and now her phone connects again. I'm waiting for the Note 5 to charge up so I can try Odin. I'll post back my results.
I apologize to those who told me it was the cable. I just didn't see that it was conceivable that all 4 of my data cables were all of a sudden damaged. Never underestimate the ability of children to destroy every working cable you own.
Well I'm still getting the error. I have some usb cables coming in the mail so once i try those out I'll get back to everyone.

Were you able to fix your issue. I have the same issue. Note 5 N9208, I can get into Recovery (TWRP) and Download mode, but can not boot. The USB connection is showing USB Device Descriptor failed. I have tried 5 different cables and Windows 7/10 Ubuntu and cant get the phone to show up on the PC. I also have changed the USB port of the phone. Any insight would be helpful.

I ended up trying to replace the port and accidentally cut the ribbon for the LCD screen. Ended up getting a new phone.
