Is it safer to flash radio/rom with SD or USB?
neither is safer, but flashing from usb
1 protects hspl
and
2 its quicker.

My xp doesent recognize usb connection in bootloader, (but Activesync works.. so no cable problems ) 1.16.JUMP och 1.16.0000 have same issue.. (my other htc works in bootloder)
This means I cant upgrade any roms with RUU.. can I upgrade rom by SD card ?
or any other sugestions ?
regards Magnus
You can update through SD card, just use the search button on the forum. Anyway... tried to unplug and replug the usb from the phone after entering bootloader? tried entering the bootloader and then connecting the phone to the pc?
Thank you for your reply!
I have tried every sugestion you menentioned and even more without any luck. also on diffrent xp..
When I tried to upgrade from SD I followed this:
SD 2 gb formated in Nike
renamed nbh file to "NIKEIMG.nbh" File is 110 mb
copied "NIKEIMG.nbh" to root on SD through a cardreader
pressed camera power and soft-reset hardware buttons
at bootloader screen says "loading...."
It hangs here!!
Should I use any special som image or ?
some threads says its possible to upgrade with SD some not..
downloaded the service manual and followed SD upgrade procedure.
I formated SD i PC this time, and bootloader was able to read image.
(http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Niki Service Manual.pdf)
upgraded (fullimage) with SD to bootloader 1.22 but still Unkown USB device in BootLoader mode.
Hi there, I think my Qtek 8500's usb slot is failed, it only charges itself. I wanna flash it back to an official rom but I can't connect with ActiveSync, so can't do that. is there any way to flash startrek without usb connection?
U can: -try factory reset (i don't think it's cable problem)
-try reinstall activesync driver(or try wm5torage to test the cable)
-or flash with mirco sd card.. search in the forum
nope usb slot is completely ****ed up, AC charger doesn't even work
thx anyway, microsd flashing helped me well, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311232
Hi guys.
I am hoping to get some help. I flashed a custom rom about 3 weeks ago from my favourite chef as there was a newer version released. After flashing said Rom I could no longer connect my phone via USB to PC. I would get a message on PC saying USB device not recognised or failed. Tried uninstalled Device centre, different USB and PC, but nothing, still the same error. So after all that tried hard reset and Task29. I then copyied the previously used Rom to my SDcard and installed from HSPL bootloader, but still the same.
I have noticed over the last week or so, that when using WinMo instead of Android, my battery will last 3-4 hours from a full charge, with Android I get 7-8 if I am lucky.
The last problem I have is when using WinMo and I want to lock the screen, it will lock and then come back on within 1 seconds time.
Can anyone help?
Thanx

P.S: I am not blaming the Chef of the ROM for this.
Here's what I would do:
1) run task29 (SD)
2) flash 2.15.50 radio
3) Flash a ROM you KNOW works (NRG, dutty, etc...) from SD
4) Hard-reset right after flash
try to hook up your USB and see if it works.
Go into Bootloader Mode and only then connect the USB cable. Does the 'Serial' change to 'USB'?
Have you tried another USB cable?
Have you tried connecting the USB calbe to the rear USB sockets on the computer?

I have tried all this Fred, to no avail. Different cable, different usb sockets, different pc. Still nothing.
Bootloader mode doesn't change connection type when connected.

Tried all this previously mate, and still nothing. Trying again with a different ROM. I'll post back results.
Thanx guys

Still no joy, tried just about everything now.
The only way the screen will stay off is when it is plugged into charger, other than that it just dims after 10 seconds then brightens back up after 2 seconds.
Looks like the insurance will be gettinga call then.
Damn, this means I will have to use the spare Blackbery Curve we have, gutted.

Hi all i recently installed the kg3 firmware and ever since doing so i cannot get any pc to recognise the device. i have tried in all ports and 3 pc's.
I have bought a new cable but same issue.
I tried doing a factory reset. and a reset through the manual mode.
I have reinstalled kies and uninstalled and put just the drivers on but same issue.
I think it's firmware as it happened as soon as i did the update ?
is there any way i can manually do a firmware update onto a ofial release stock if i can get it into the phones memory, I don't have a micro sd at this time?
Please help or any suggestions otherwise i may send back as faulty unit for warranty just incase the usb bit internally some how broke.
thanks in advance
Also for got to mention i tried it in usb dev mode and not
Also i tried now usb dev mode on to see of the development tools will pick it up and they also do not.
Anyway to recover the firmware on the phone with out access to usb ?
You can try flashing firmware with Odin. Read Chainfire thread in Original Development section.

Do you have CWMrecovery?
If so boot into it, plug your phone in, select mounts, select mount usb storage.
If that works its firmware, if not its hardware.
If you have CWM recovery take your sd card out and copy a rom zip to it, boot into your rom, copy that rom into internal storage, reboot into CWM recovery, wipe data/cache and flash the rom from the apply zip from sd card menu item.
hi, I don't have cwmrecovery installed and it can be only installed via odin right?
In regards to ODIN i cannot get it to detect the handset to flash anything.
Phone:
Tmobile T959 aka Samsung Vibrant
It is on stock Froyo 2.2
It has the 3E recovery.
I tried on 2 computers but I can NOT connect via USB it gives me USB malfunction error. The phone does charge. I can put it into download mode vie the 3 finger trick. When you connect it does give you the option to click the green Android icon Connect to USB. So it is talking to the computer, the usb is not totally dead.
Problem:
I need to root this phone. I can not use 1 click or anything else because I think there is a problem with the USB port. I can get files onto the phone via wifi or using the external sd card.
I tried using the update.zip file BUT because I am on the 3E recovery it will say signature failed. I can not run the install.bat to get it back to 2E recovery. I can not use ODIN because the Windows will not detect the phone properly.
What workaround can I use to root this phone? How would I use terminal on the phone?
HOW WOULD YOU ROOT THE PHONE IF YOUR USB PORT WAS "broken"?
THANKS for helping!

anyone ?
Does anyone have the signed 3e or 2e update.zip file that I can load from the sdcard?
thx
Could be a faulty usb flex. You can't be thinking of rooting & flashing with that USB. Too risky.
Tried with another USB cable? Another USB socket? Another PC?
If you tried to all the above and still don't flies, you should be thinking usb flex swap.
