[Q] what's happening? posible brick? - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a htc legend with Blayo's 0.8 rom.
for a couple of weeks all works perfect but suddenly one day when i connected the htc to pc with USB cable nothing happened, only started to charge the battery. in the past the phone used to show a menu for choosing what type of connection had to use, but now didn't show anything.
i tried to reinstall HTCSync and the SDK but nothing changes.
i also tried with different usb cables but nothing
it's my legend bricked??

try to change the default connection type in Settings - Connect to PC..

i tried too but nothing changes

Try file expert or alternative, they have samba built in so you can ftp to your phone

yeah i'm Software Data Cable to send and recive files from Legend but if i want to change the rom i can't do it because pc doesn't detect the legend in fastboot and can't enter to recovery

why use cable? It´s so stoneage use wifi, and swiFTP app on your mobile and filezilla ftp on your pc to transfer your files. Then cmw to flash a new rom, you don´t have to be plugged in with your pc for that

Software Data Cable is like swiFTP, i can access my sdcard with filezilla.
the problem is that when i try to access to recovery to flash a new rom a triangle with a red exclamation appears and i have to push recovery from pc. i think that i don't have the recovery installed in my legend or something like that. with Rom Manager doesn't work, the same thing :S

When you get the triangle, have you tried push the volume button up and powerbutton.. ? What does rom manager say, you have installed cmw recovery?

mmmm i will try it! thnx!
EDIT: when i push volume up and powerbutton says: E:Can't oen /cache/recovery/command at the bottom of the screen. in the top a recovery like menu appears with Reboot system, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition :S

NOOB ANSWER TIME:
Dunno if this is correct, but hey, we all learn, eh?
Make sure you have the correct version of CWM as an update.zip in the root of your SD. Then when you press VOL UP + PWR, choose to apply sdcard:update.zip. You'll launch into recovery from there.

oh! thank you! i didn't know that! i can enter into recovery! i want another rom, any recommendation? ( CM7 no please ) i think installing a new rom could fix the problem with the usb!

awww, man. did you try searching first before posting your problem? your phone isn't bricked. what you have is what's called around here as 'usb brick'. now, go here and get bzzzzz...

mm i think i don't have usb brick, because when USB Brick occurs pc can detect the htc in fastboot but i can't so i can't do the steps to fix the problem :S

any idea?
it's possible that the usb connector is broken?

Maybe there are someting wrong with your hardware....You may need to find the Costomer Service....

Hero USB Connection Not Recognized

Hi all
I have a problem with my hero not being recognized by my PC. This happened after a weekend trip and i charged the phone with iphone USB adapter as i lost my one and now after returning from my trip i connect my hero to my PC to be greeted with the "USB Device Not Recognized" message.
Also my Amon_Ra recovery i used has been wiped and i cant get into recovery or install any rom at all.
I am thinking this might be the same USB brick that affected some Desire owners but i am not sure.
So please if anyone can help me, please do.
Thanks in advance.

this happen to me. What i did was switch my phone off, plug in the usb and switched it back on. then wait for windows to say it not recognised. then go to to device and printers and uninstall the drivers for the phone. Disconnect and reconnect the usb back to the phone and it it will pick it up.
Can you try booting in fastboot and tell me if that is recognized?
it still doesnt recognize it in fastboot

Sounds like its just a driver issue. Have you tried plugging it in, when you get that message open DEVICE MANAGER,... Find the yellow "!", right click it, uninstall, unplug phone, reboot PC.
.... Then use BTDAG's [Guide] How to Setup Correct Hero Drivers (for x86 & x64 users)
I hav the same problem. In recover mode it works but then turn on the phone, there is no popup options as before. Tried around with drivers but didnt work either. But found a solution which is very convenient. I dont know if it works on other ROM versions but I'm on 2.1 (Villain10).
- Install extended control widget (dont remember where I got it but you can google, it seems I cannot find it on the market)
- Add this widget to the home screen: Menu/Add to Home/Widget/ Extended Control bar (you can choose the size from 1x1 to 1x4) then select "Mass storage" at the bottom, apply.
Now you have a widget to turn on/off USB storage. When you connect Hero to the PC, just click on this widget then the PC will connect to the SD card, and click one more to turn it off.
ok i will give that a try

No i havent and i gave up trying because i dnt think there is a fix for it. if yours is unrooted and the warranty is still valid you should consider returning it to HTC maybe they might replace it
got the same problem. Any solution so far ??

Did you try that?..... You need to do the reboot PC/Laptop after uninstalling ALL HTC drivers! Then when you reboot PC, plug phone back in, should say "not recognised" again,... then follow BTDAG's guide. T'is definitely a driver issue!
tried flashing 3 roms, modaco, radug and now kimera... none working.
can connect in fastboot, it shows up in device manager as android 1.0
ive tried 3 different usb cables and 4 differet pcs, still there is no response on my phone !!!
using villian rom 10.0 rite now.
okay it boots up into fastboot and fastboot usb shows up on the screen in red,
BUT when i use the "adb devices" command in adb it doesnt show the device,
it is showing as android 1.0 in devices and printers (windows 7)
You need to use....
fastboot devices
....when your are in fastboot.
What happens when you go into your recovery, select "Toggle MS/USB" with USB connected to PC?
okay
fastboot devices command shows some serial number.
then i tried adb remount, it gave an error....
enabling usb-ms with cable attached gives no response
ok i think it might be USB driver like ddotpatel said but i am not sure.
i reinstalled my whole windows 7 to 32bit now instead of the 64bit version i was using before and today i just connected my hero to my PC and windows 7 did its thing and installed the drivers and finally my hero can mount the SD card in my PC again although i kept getting this can perform faster in USB 2.0 port or something like that i didn’t care as long as i can mount my SD card again.
now went into fastboot and used the fastboot device command and i could see my hero serial no. but when i try to flash the amonra recovery i got the permission error (i cant really remember). i tried flashing using the adb method but still no luck.
so i went to market and downloaded rom manager and used it to flash clockwork recovery and now i could boot to clockwork recovery.
from this recovery i can now flash any rom i want and although there are still a few more problems i am glad now that i can flash custom roms again.
the problem i can see so far but i can deal with is
1. i don’t think fastboot commands work even if the phone is detected.
2. SD card mounts at USB 1.1 speed. (i have tried different ports and cable but still the same thing and this is the ports i use for my N1, Desire and my other android phones with USB 2.0 speed)
PS: adb commands for pushing and removing apps is working.
Hope this can be helpful to those experiencing the same problem.
Instead of re-installing your entire OS just use usbdeview to remove the failing drivers.
Also remove any old HTC Sync installs and install the latest version.

[Q] Root Problems Help Urgent pleaase

k after i finally succeeded to downgrade (thinkin that the hard part is done!!!!), i cant get past step 1, i keep gettin either "waiting for device", or htc black screen, or nothing happens. step 2 is even worse, all i get is "device not found", or loads of "FAILED". ive reinstalled htc sync 2, uninstalled htc drivers.
i think it seems that my computer is not recognising the phone as an android device, cos everytime i connect it, win7 seems to automatically install drivers (nd i cant stop that) and recognises it as HTC ANdroid Device (it appears as a "Disk Drive")..... tried to use htc sync, phone keeps searching nd it fails.. help please i cant use my phone
ive managed to install adb drivers but it only recognises phone when is turned on normally, but wen i go into fastboot or recovery, it doesnt show any adb devices....
do i hav 2 install drivers 4 each mode????? id pay sum1 2 do this 4 me.
comon ppl, i will actually give u sum money if u help me out through the whole thing, (no joke)
updatE: done step 1, but step 2 cant be done cos computer doesnt recognise the phone as android in recovery mode.....it comes up as usb mass storage nd i try to update drivers nd comes up with error...
try running another OS...
i had problems with mine as well on win7 32 bit... so i used winxp on vmware
and everything went smoothly...
make sure you get the HTC Sync 2.33 or you can use PDANET to install the drivers
installed pdanet, same thing, evverything is awsome till i enter recovery wher the stupid **** drivers turn into "mass storage" and the android phone disappears....(using vista 32 now)

Try booting to normal mode, then connect the device to the computer as a removable disk (or connect your sdcard to the computer with an sdcard to usb adapter)
After that, put on your sdcard the recovery update.zip found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
after that, boot in recovery. press vol-up + power and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"
Then you'll get a CWM recovery menu where you can install any ROM (should put the ROM on the sdcard ofcrouse), and that saves you from running step2.
oh great stuff, i pressed apply update, then i get "signature verification failed", this seems way better than havin 2 go through step 2. how do i fix it though? thx 4 reply
also it says E: cant open cache/recovery/command
its not workin man, any1 ?????
Try using this one - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TXYUQUOP
(it's 100% working)
About "E: cant open cache/recovery/command" ignore it
thats the same 1, i replaced it, nd still doesnt work man. still "signature verification failed"
also do i need 2 do step 1 again like if i boot phone into normal, then come back to it, will that affect step 1? maybe thats y?
Are you sure step1 was finished successfully?
When you run it you need to make sure in the CMD window that there isn't any FAILED at the end
didn't understand your second sentence
omg it turns out that it didnt step 1 cos i didnt insert the goldcard (i feel stooopid)
now all is good, i got into the recovery menu nd now installing new rom. one thing, do i need to wipe cache or play with the other options before installing new rom??? or do i just press install zip from sdcard? thx 4 help, finally sumthing
Do data+cache wipe (if you're using the update.zip method of recovery, I think that the wipe data also wipes the cache) and only then install new ROM
WOAAH BETSY! Backup first before anything! Save the backup to your pc in case you mess anything up! Then wipe cache, and everythign you can wipe (besides SDCARD)

[Q] Have I completely bricked my ACE?

Hi there,
I tried a number of ways to change the ROM on my phone from the stock to an upgraded or custom ROM. Using Odin I was always able to at least get the stock ROM back up and running.
This time I tried ClockWorkMod and something has gone wrong. I cannot turn the phone on, boot into recovery mode, or download mode and the phone is completely unresponsive. Nothing appears on the screen.
I've tried re-flashing the stock ROM through Odin and it will recognize that the phone is there and connected via USB however when I try to flash the stock ROM back onto it the program hangs at:
<1> Setup connection...
I'm running from Administrator on Windows 7, I don't have Kies installed, I have the most up to date Samsung USB drivers.
I really want to at least get the phone into download mode to flash the stock ROM back on... is really hope there is a way to do this.

just curious... how you try re-flashing through odin, while the phone can not boot in download mode?
when you charge the phone, does it show the battery indication?
I get no battery charge indicator while the phone is plugged in via usb...
However Odin does recognize that I have the phone plugged in. I hoped that this would be enough to send a flash to it through Odin but it gets stuck at '<1> Setup Connection'
I'm currently installing Android SDK. If the computer knows it's there maybe I can send a command to make it reboot into download mode?
you need to have kies to let odin work

Ok re-installed Kies and gave it a go.
While Kies was open I got:
<1> --- cannot open the usb serial port. code: 5
I'm assuming because Kies was trying to do something with it at the same time.
While Kies is not open I get:
<1> setup connection... (<Hangs here like before)
Installed android SDK.
Tried running: adb reboot download
Response was: error: device not found
Both Kies and Odin know that something is there, but the SDK doesn't seem like it knows it's there and doesn't look like it can send commands to it

first you needed to type adb devices

adb devices just brings up an empty list...
It says 'List of devices attached' and then nothing
I just really want to get it into download mode again, Odin and Kies know it's there to an extent but can't really do anything with it just yet...
Hiya!
Have exact same problem with my Ace...totally black but Odin find it. Then i stuck with that annoying "setup connection"
I connect my phone(or brick!!) with usb-cable, have no battery in it. Then i press vol down+home+power buttons and I think its in download mode. It´s just that I can´t see it becouse the screen is black.

Run
Code:
adb devices
And that will tell you if it is actually in download mode... it should list the device then the mode it is in on the right..
Most of the phones that couldnt boot into download mode were diagnosed as bricked, from what ive seen here in XDA, the SGA community.
However, you could spend a small penny on 3 100ohms resistors to create a USB jig as a last resort.
Try this :
-Put out battery
-Plug the usb cable pc - ace
-Make manipulation for download mod : home + power + sound - and plug battery in the same time
-Device go to download mod
Flash trought odin =)

Was it called ROM Manager on Market/Play? If so lie to service centre saying kies crashed when updating, there is nothing you can do. Sorry :/

Or try tu use unbrick plug, which is nothing more than normal usb plug witch resistor 300K or set of resistors equal to 303K(it is more preciouse) shorted to 4 and 5 pin.
Are youll guys serious?? look at the date please ---feb 08 that guy hss probably fixed or thrown his phone out....who are youll talking to???
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB
i think you have permanently bricked your ace, take it back to the store and say odin crashed while you were flashing gingerbread 2.3.7
Now I tried everything except the USB jig. I try to make one in next weekend. Else I must tanke it to the Samsung store and say something smart I let u guys know how it goes. Thanks for all help this far:thumbup:

Device not found on bootloader.

After flashing a ROM when i tried to flash the kernel, i get an error of device not found.
I searched online and found there is a device listed on Device manager named "Android USB Devices" and i need to update the drivers from there...
Please help !!!
AW: Device not found on bootloader.
install pdanet tool
Tried that... still not working
Sure you using fastboot?? Device not found is an ADB error. Fastboot would say waiting for device.
Install HTC sync manager, that will install fastboot drivers.

Use side load. Turn it on in recovery wait for about 3 to 5 minutes to connect then use adb sideload rom.zip (change filename) and let it copy to the phone!

coby kyros mid7052
Hi, my friend's tab forgotten his password.. please help..
Does anybody know how to hard reset coby kyros mid7052..?
it has no vol. up or vol. down. there is only an on/off switch and a reset button on the back (only for reset if it hangs or what.) so I cant go to fastboot.. and one more thing usb debugging is disabled. I'm finding it hard to use DBA because of that..
thank you for your kind efforts.

[Q] I accidentally formatted System, Data, Cache all in bootloader

Hi Guys,
Made a big mistake, I was trying to enable the HTC button on the HTC one so i can use it as a menu button, but by accident I formatted the entire SD card along with data and system. now my phone wont boot into anything, it is just stuck on HTC quietly brilliant. i can boot into recover and connect to fastboot, but there is where I am stuck. I had previously installed Jellybean 4.2.2. ADB devices doesnt show the phone on the list, but fastboot devices does. not sure how to flash back the rom to the phone since I cant copy the file to the sd card if that is the fix.
Please help!!!:crying:
I did this same exact thing by accident today. When inside recovery go into your windows device manager and tell your phone to use your adb driver. This should allow you to push your zip to sdcard and flash

Thank You, the only problem now is that my phone died, and it wont charge; it seems the problem just got worse!!!!
That's odd that it won't charge. It seems you do have a bigger problem lol all I can suggest is try a different cable and charger and a different outlet. If it doesn't charge while its off and you know those things are good then I think its time for a new phone man :/

Had done just that, tried with a different cable and it worked, also followed your advice on the driver and i was able to push the file to my phone. Thank you, my phone is alive again. :victory:
