I have a problem with my C550, I hope someone can help me:
A carcharger won't charge my phone. It senses the cable (screen goes from black to lit) but it won't charge. I use a motorola USB-charger, which worked on my SPV-M600.
I have the same problem with my PPC Techs Lil Sync USB AA Battery Adaptor I use on my bike.
The phone also won't charge on a PC without the proper software (active-sync?) installed.
I suspect it to be a software-issue in WM2003SE, maybe a registry-setting?
I have considered an update to WM6, but in that case I would like to backup the original rom that the phone now has, so I can revert to it. Can someone give me a link to a howto, or explain how to do this?
charger from motorola doesn't work with c550. i bought motorola charger to and it doesn't work.
I found an interesting message on spv-developers. The only thing then is how to do this. Pin 4 is not connected, so you can't connect line 4 and line 5 by cutting the cable and joining the two lines. Buying the C500/C550 car charger solves my problem partly because my lil sync remains....
I have solved the problem. I have bent pin 4 on my phone so it connects to the outer shell of the mini-usb-port (=ground). Now it charges off everything I feed to it.

Hi,
is that pin 4 as in the official pin 4 from the mini-usb pinouts so thats the far right if looking at the mini usb port with the phone facing down?
or do you just mean pin 4 counting from the left?
Hi, my Xperia X1 does not boot normally. I did not mess with the SPL or bootloader. I made a call, put it back in it's pouch, tried to make a call a few hours later and got the bootloader screen instead. All software and ROMs are stock standard and was never changed. I started by reading XDA forums. The phone will power up to bootloader screen when switched on. Serial is displayed. Plug in a USB cable to PC and this changes to USB. The PC makes its sound to indicate a USB device has been connected. It then says the device cannot be recognised and removes the usb icon from the taskbar. Activesync, mtty, SEUS or any other software will not recognise it. I have since put RA2 on a SD card and updated the ROM. This worked fine. There is no way I know of to HardSPL the phone as it cannot communicate with a PC. If you plug in the wall charger, car charger or USB cable to a PC, the phone will skip the bootloader screen and switch on. The phone cannot be charged while switched on. No charging symbol and the battery will still run down. Switch the phone off and it will however charge. Anybody seen this before? Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Maybe you should ask in the correct section. This is for discussion on HTC Titan not sony experia.
Hi
Please excuse me being a newbie with a slightly odd question
Someone recently gave me an old HTC Himalaya to play with (O2 XDA II). The 'phone had been dropped and wouldn't charge up. Taking the battery out and charging it separately I was able to get the 'phone working fine.
I dismantled it to find that the 22-pin connector for power and data had completely detached itself and it fell out of the case. The pins were badly bent so I soldered power lines directly to the main board and it charges fine.
Now... what I really want to use this 'phone for is the heart of a vehicle diagnostics system (written in Pocket Zeus) so I need a working RS232 connection. I used Bluetooth to transfer a couple of test programs to the 'phone and they are showing that Com 1 won't open, but Com 2 and 3 will.
Can anyone tell me which ports the RS232 connections on the Himalaya match up to? In particular the port on the 22-pin connector. I can hardwire a 9-PIN D serial plug to this connection if I can get the port open.
Many thanks in advance and all help greatly received.

Hey everyone. I've got a 16GB US WiFi Flyer on 2.3.4 that will not charge. I haven't made any modifications to it at all. It's completely stock. I've tried plugging in the included wall charger, USB cable, and even my own micro USB but it doesn't recognize any of them. The device is at 3% charge and I don't know how to fix the problem. Any suggestions are appreciated.
turn on usb debugging
settings->applications->development
Connect using the usb cable and post to output of the command 'dmesg'.
Unplug usb, plug in the charger for 10-15 seconds
Connect using the usb cable and post to output of the command 'dmesg' again.
With this information I should be able to tell you if it is a hardware or software problem. Hardware problem will be RMA, SW will probably be a reflash.
Flyer ran out of batteries before I could do anything. Either way, neither my pc nor the device recognized one another, and I'm certain it's not the cable. I called HTC and they are going to send me a box to get it repaired.
That's the best option in that case, sounds like a mechanical failure in the usb connector.
Hi all,
A friend on Frandroid Forum, post the problem how to Fix "Battery Low - Cannot program" with Fasboot mode ... I see more post on defy, milestone, etc... but with the RAZR XT910 .. can't open and see the batterie....
Could you give your me an idea please ??
Sorry for my bad english
I post on the Defy thread too
Thanks in advance !!
Is your phone stuck or something? if it low battery then charge it up?
Thanks for your answer.
Apparently my friend charge all night, he just see a white led loading and this message when starting in fastboot!
He charge on PC so I advised him to use a charger rather and wait very long time ...
You must be charged before you attempt any flashing.
If the phone will boot normally you will need to boot it, let it charge, then flash.
If it it bricked, you may be out of luck.
Get out of the "Fastboot" menu and try to charge it.
merci à toi alex tu m'a bien dépatouillé

You are welcome (You must speak english here !! but I understand !)
i have the same problem only mine is worse:
got a gsm razr XT910 and accidentally formatted the system (i know very stupid move). In this case i believe a simple flash using RSD lite would work? ( -question because I've never done it before) but the problem was that i didn't have a pc nearby for a while. I tried switching it off but whatever i did it just booted back up so all the battery drained.. (i think i've found out how to force it to switch off now but thats not the point)
the point is that it was off completely, when i plug it into the wall charger it just tries to boot with the 'M' logo stuck on my screen, the LED is off and there's no charging going on. If i take it out of the charger at any point it just dies and doesn't start again unless i plug it in no matter how long it's been "charging".
The only thing that does happen where i see some hope is when i plug it into the pc now the screen remains black and the LED is white, after a while i can unplug it and it will work without the charger so i assume it charges through my pc. the thing is though, when i leave it plugged in every hour or so it tries to boot by itself and the LED becomes dark(not charging), left it like this overnight and it was dead in the morning. What i do to solve that is whenever it starts booting i switch it off and plug in again then its the same, LED on, screen off.
Using the PC method i can wait for like twenty minutes and then it has enough power for me to put it into the fastboot mode however it displays the "low battery cannot program" message and i can't flash using RSD..
My plan for now is to keep doing that hoping that it will charge this way, however its been 7 hours and it still tells me the battery low message...
Does anyone know anything that would help me? Any help will be so appreciated!
I heard of using a 'factory cable' but I'm not sure where to buy it and don't have the electronics equipment to make one. I live in london uk so maybe someone here who has one could help me out? Seriously at this point: any help any advice will be worth a lot,
Thanks in advance
Hi,
To make a factory cable you can see this thread
and if you want buy one ... see this link !!
Have a nice day.
this link is only for american deliveries I'm an London man!
Create your own cable !!! It's not very difficult !
he's talking about using a solder station to melt the wires together, i don't have that..
USB Cable
This happened to me and I had to jump it with a USB cable.
Here is what I did:
Take a standard USB cable and cut off a section of wire with the larger connector ( the side that connects to the computer).
Strip the outer shell exposing 4 small wires (2data, 2 power).
Tie off the Green and white wires and strip the Red and Black.
Remove the back from your Razr and connect the Red wire to the + and the Black to the - terminal of your Battery (they're marked).
Plug in the USB and boot into Fastboot.
Connect your standard Data cable to the phone and do your thing.
Just saying....
There's actually a thread in the RAZR Development section. You could have found it in seconds if you searched for it instead of directly creating a new thread.

Thanks for the advice although i have a couple of questions:
-After cutting off the part of the cable we keep the large usb end right?
-What do you mean by the outer shell? The part that actually goes into the computer? or the casing of the cable on the cut off side?
Thanks
Yes, you keep the larger end that connects to the computer.
Strip the outer wire to reveal the 4 colored inner wires.

I've done that, and i'll connect the wires to the battery screws in a sec and then i plug it in to the charger? and a normal usb to the pc as well?
uhhh..
No, don't plug it into the wall charger at all.. That's crazy talk.
Just plug both USB cables into your computer and fire up Fastboot.
keeps saying "failed flashing process, phone returned fail"
what is wrong now?? everything should be fine
ok
I'm assuming you're referring to a massage being displayed by RSD when run on your computer?
Walk me through your process in detail. What does your phone say when this happens?
How did you connect the USB to your battery? If you didn't make a secure enough connection it won't provide enough juice. You need clean wires and a secure connection. I loosened the battery terminal screws and connected the wires directly to the terminals then tightened the screws and it worked without issue.
Need a little more information before I know exactly what's going on.
alright so i screwed the wires to the terminal of the battery and then plugged it into the computer, i wasn't sure what was supposed to happen and when nothing did for a while i plugged it into the wall charger and it started booting up.(i know you advised not to do it but i did it before reading your post) In fast boot menu at that point it would tell me "battery ok". So i went on and tried to plug it into the pc ac well with a normal cable and everything was fine RSD lite saw it i extracted the fast boot files and then when i press start it comes back with the fail error and stops straight away on the first step. I tried flashing different versions of the software and no good. I waited for my battery to charge (it now says battery ok even when unplugged ) still no good. Then read your post and did it the way you explained, still no good. Exactly the same error every time. And if i press the peer button while in fast boot to power off it would come back to ap fast boot by itself and at the top it would say "flash failed" or something like that. I tries re-installing the ADK tools or whatever its called and still nothing.
So i found a very good russian website that explains how to use moto-fastboot to install the system.img through the terminal and i have everything and the fast boot thing is on c:\ directly and i go into the terminal as an admin and whenever i write in moto-fastboot it comes back with "moto-fastboot isn't recognized as an internal or external command..." no matter what i do.. i've looked for a solution the whole day, can someone please help me
Thanks
