Ok my cousins ace is stuck on froyo with vodafone, locked to network.
He's got issues with power, but new battery & mine also does same thing, whenever you start phone battery its empty, but if you plug power in & start phone, then remove power battery is fully charged, so its either FW goosed or hardware on main board.
So tried to connect to pc, will not show up as samsung android device, but when mines plugged in it shows up perfectly, it sees a usb device but wont install with the correct driver, even if pointed to this, just shows as unknown device.
So my question is, how can I update it to ginger or a fresh froyo via recovery mode as it requires a zip file & all fw's are through odin.
I considered cwm, but this requires rooting yes?
So best route is to root, install cwm then install a custom fw to see if it fixes issues then install a stock rom via odin?
Ideas please & best way forward.
Thanks in advance
no, u cannot flash custom roms via cwm if u still on froyo. most custom roms need gingerbread as base, means u need to already had gingerbread installed.
and the only way to upgrade from froyo to gingerbread is by kies and odin. but because kies is highly dangerous and known to brick phones, odin is your only option.
Looks like its a warranty job then huh.
Ok so before I take this into service center, anyone else have any ideas to try, as I cant see anyother way to fix this buggered FW.

Odin wont help as usb device isnt loading, its not driver related as other ace units are fine.

I have a vibrant and I was rooted my cell phone when the phone's version was 2.1 eclair
I tried to upgrade to 2.2 froyo by official updating
After updating my phone did not show any screen so i tried to return original rom by odin.........
However, odin did not work for the phone... Always stopped when odin tried to install modem.bin.............
And now my phone does not work and even I cannot turn downloading mode or recovery mode........ It is just not work like when the phone's battery is done....
Plz if someone know how to fix it, explain me...........
Not sure what's going on here, but a few more pieces of information might help others figure it out:
First, what ROM were you running? Given the fact that you officially updated, I'm guessing rooted stock? Not sure if this is relevant to your problem, but were you running a lagfix of any kind?
Second, how did you enter Download Mode? Did you select it from a Shutdown menu? Or did you use the Volume buttons while plugging in the phone? EDIT: Forgive my stupidity. You obviously used the buttons, as you entered Download Mode after bricking.
Third, what version of Odin are you using? Did or didn't you select repartition?
Finally, which stock file did you use when restoring?
Take out battery , plug usb into comp. Then while holdin vol up and down plug in usb.

hi
I rooted the phone before I tried to upgrade official update.
And I did not use any custom rom, I just used legfix
And I tried to use T959UVJFD this rom to restore my phone....
and I used odin v1.7
i tried to click or non click repartition both but when I did first trying
I did not check repatition and I used volume down button to join dowloarding mode.
try to Odin with Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick THEN Odin back to stock. Link should be in the Bible thread at the top.
This method has helped me in a brick before.
lol i swear im explainin this second time this issue already today , go hook up your phone to wall cahrger for 5 min , unplug cabole from chsrger and unplug phone from cable hook up cable to computer remove battery from your phone hold vol up vol down hook up usb cable that is already hooked up to computer connect it to phone while still holding vol up vol down bam u got it there if it didnt work hook up phone to wall charger to 10 min instead of 5 trust me i went thru same storry .
i went with every imaginable story of brickin my vibrant lol
i thinkk chance of you brickin that phone to the point that wont ever turn back on is like one in 1000 if not more unles u fried the phone and i dont know id thats possible P
First, make sure you have at least Odin3 v1.3 when attempting this. This version includes a Samsung specific .dll that is required to get a successful load with Odin. Then follow these instructions to flash back to stock.
http://martint.net/2010/how-to-use-odin-to-go-back-to-stock-jfd-2/
from there, just root, install Clockwork Mod Recovery, flash and enjoy.
I used 5 different roms to restore my phone..... but it still stop when odin try to install modem.bin............ I do not understand and very bad.... how can i fix it...
and I tried to find eugene's froyo rom... but I cannot find download link........
plz help me.... I will appreciate every guys......

Then its odin. Try to find an older version. Yep I said that. I run 1.3 still because it works every single time.

I'm just grasping at straws here, but you might try using every version of Odin (as has already been suggested by several posters above). Also, make sure you remove your SIM and sd card. Lastly, run Odin as an administrator. I don't think the admin part is related, but it can't hurt to try.
Look for Eugene's froyo on Android Spin. I DLed it a few days ago.

My battery isn't charging with either the mains charger or usb so it looks like I need to send back to 3 under warranty
Problem is that I've installed the Cognition ROM (which is awesome!) so I need to somehow get the phone back to stock before I return it. Whatever is causing the charging problem is has also stopped the usb working. So obviously I can't put the files onto the internal memory without the usb Can flash it back to a stock rom using CWM by putting the rom on the 'external' SD card?
If that is possible there branded stock roms on the Intratech thread but these all appear to need to be flashed with Odin. Are there CWM versions anywhere?

Incidentally, if I plug the mains charger or usb lead in to the phone while it is powered off it switches itself on and boots up without me pressing the power button? But it still doesn't charge and the pc still can't see it via usb.

I've tried both the mains charger and the usb charging lead and neither work. As the usb->pc connection isn't working either I'm assuming it must be a fault with the phone.

Any thoughts or ideas on this guys?
Yes, I've got exactly the same issues, but thankfully I'm on stock software including kernel having swapped in an insecure kernel for rooting. USB jig worked to reset counter but unable to connect to any pc with any cable in odin or normal. Can do kies over wifi and kies recognised me as having stock and up to date firmware.
Can anyone help me get out of root from this position? The only visible evidence of root to me is the superuser app. Would a factory reset do the trick? Thanks

I'm having the same problem except the charging problem. But in the end i was able to flash back to stock rom using Odin while USB debugging was on. Fortunately Odin did recognise my phone.
Yesterday i ordered the JIG so i can set back the counter and then i will send my phone back for repair.
My problem is that I can't connect to usb to restock the rom. However I have managed to reset the counter using a jig. Why it recognises the jig but not usb I have no idea??
I'm going to have to return the phone for repair with the Cognition rom installed
What's Samsung's (UK) policy is on this kind of thing is?

Oh dear, looks like I'm just going to have to take my chance and send it in for repair. I've seen a few posts about the usb port lately. I hope this isn't going to be a common fault or there are going to be a lot of us facing warranty issues
i dont really know much about this area.. but if it was me i think id download the generic firmware put on sdcard.. and install via cmw ... then after that is on , possibly root if its not rooted uninstall cmw then superuser . then take root off.. do full wipes ect... after all this.
only problem is.. your count will show it has been flashed.
am not (100%) sure if it works like this.. but its just a guess and the closest i can think of a way for it to work.. hope you get it sorted ..

Hm, an idea comming to mind about reflashing stock ROM - but be very carefull, got only one shot at this (due to loosing root, so w/o Odin, no way for a 2nd try if something doesn't work!)
Untar an Odin .tar FW pack and convert the .img files to actual raw .img dumps.
You only need the simg2img tool from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081239
Copy the converted factoryfs.img (should be exactely 512MB) and the zImage to the sdcard via WiFi.
Then flash those two using good, old dd from a terminal:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096
dd if=/sdcard/factoryfs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 bs=4096
That should drop you back to a stock ROM.
Since you're sending it in for repait anyways, if the above totally fails, just say it broke during a Kies update.
Hi all 1st post here and it's already a question so I apologize, , I am pretty new this stuff and recently started messing with my firmware and having a play around. Now the issue I have is I cannot connect the phone to pc by usb at all. I have tried all the usual methods of switching data cables, hard reset, enabled/disabled debugging. The only thing that it does is charge the phone.
On a seperate note, I think my current version of android is corrupt as when i hold down the power button, the only option I get is power off, various other things are not quite right either and would prefer stock to this. The device is rooted using universal androot. If anyone could help me return to stock or change my firmware would be greatly appreciated. Please bare in mind that I am unable to use usb, so kies and odin are just not an option. Many thanks
the information i have is.

what rom did you put onto it?
Try this one : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(release)-motafoca-2-0-9/
Many thanks for the reply, I was a little naive and just downloaded a random linked one Am I able to put the madteams on there just from sdcard?
If you mean install it from sdcard using clockworkmod?
Use this one : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(re-release)-motafoca-froyo-2-0-9-rom-clockworkmod-edition/
To be honest, I have been playing with something I know too little about and now i'm trying to fix my mess I have installed rom manager, and applied what i believe to be clockwork mod recovery supplied by rom manager, then added the linked file to my sdcard. When it tries to apply it as an update it says aborted as zip file is bad.
If i could use usb or odin to flash my phone things would be so much simpler, but as it stands I can't seem to do anything with just using the sdcard. I don't know if there is a complete idiots guide to this. But thanks to those who have tried to help so far.

I don't even get the dialog to connect by kies or mass storage. I plug my phone in and the only thing it does is charge. The computer doesn't even acknowledge there is a device connected, with that in mind i'm certain it is a problem with my phone. Possibly firmware related, or faulty usb phone port I would guess.
Which is why I really hope someone can come along and help with my previous problem of fixing things with sdcard only.

to flash:
1. download kies
2. download odin
3. download your files for the rom
4. put them all into odin
5. turn phone into download mode and connect to pc
6. wait for it to show up on odin
IF, your phone doesnt show up, try uninstalling kies, re-installing it, restarting your computer and try again
I can't use odin, kies, or mass storage. My phone simply won't accept that it is attached by usb, I tried the original samsung data cable, as well as another I purchased new the mount dialog won't open when I attach a usb with the usual option of kies/mass storage so I know it isn't my pc. Everything I have done has been by removing the sdcard and using a card reader to put files on, then back to my phone.
I tried all the linked files so far, tried renaming them to update.zip on my sdcard, when I boot back to recovery and try to update from sdcard it says bad file, or failed. Also tried extracting the files and updating again no good. If there is no other options to force new firmware to install from sdcard I guess it is a new phone time which I wasn't keen on.
Should be a rom.problem..flash other rom..if odin shows yellow light below com port in odin it means you are ready to go..flash another rom and see if it helps..but if yellow light doesnt display theb its data cable prob or usb port prob..

It may not have installed correctly which is how I managed to ruin my phone, but according to rom manager it did install I never got the chance to check tho as my phone is now dead and hoping to get it fixed under warranty.
you probably installed a version for another phone. If you can, boot your phone into download mode and install clockworkmod found here: http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(development)-ltsecret-projectgt/
Then, hopefully your phone should be ok, but just to be sure, install the latest cyanogenmod (using clockworkmod).
Hope this helps
Hello all.
My Xperia X10 Mini Pro is stuck on bootloop as you can see on this video
http://youtu.be/EhaBn0uuSvE
It just got like that from one moment to the other..I was using stock ROM
I tried to flash with Flashtool with these ROMs
U20a_2.1udpt1_Generic
ST17i-Active_4.1.B.0.431-1254-6360_SONY
On the first ROM it gets 100% successfull but still cant boot !
This phone was bought on Portugal, so I dont know if the ROM makes any difference..
Need some advice please !
I've read somewhere that Gordon's Gate (part of Flashtool) can still access a phone even when it bootloops.
Could you document what steps you already took? Perhaps link to the article you followed? (Below is a list of certain steps one usually takes when installing custom ROMS, but they are by no means always necessary, could you perhaps indicate what you already did?)
Rooted Yes/No/Not Sure
ClockWorkMod installed Yes/No/Not Sure
Unlocked bootloader Yes/No/Not Sure
Custom kernel Yes/No/Not Sure
The location of where the phone was bought will not make a lot of difference for the ROM. It might affect things like hardware keyboard layouts, but there are fixes available for those. But things like specific baseband and firmware are still important. By carefully reading the description, you can usually check if your phone can be used.
To be honest, I only have used Flashtool to flash new kernels to my X10 Mini Pro, for just installing another ROM I use ClockWorkMod.
What you can try:
Unbrick through SEUS: here (video)
I've read about people unbricking their devices with PC Companion, here.
If you should be able to regain access to the phone and still want to tinker:
This ROM works nice with the stock kernel
Later, you could unlock the bootloader, flash custom kernels (nAa ICS 04) and install ROMS needing such custom kernels (the U20 ICS ROMS, like MiniCM9)
Should you feel the need to ever unlock the bootloader, use this tool
Cheers and thanks for your post !
I used SEUS and updated to latest firmware but still no success on booting. It stills the same...
Rooted No
ClockWorkMod installed No
Unlocked bootloader No
Custom kernel Not Sure
Any chance that you can point me a stock rom and stock kernel to see if it boots that way?

Don't update, repair... leave your phone unplugged when SEUS searches for updates, it can't recognise your phone when it's not connected and will give you a repair option. choose that, and make sure you select your phone from the list presented. it will then flash original kernel and firmware to your phone.
Don't know which kernel you flashed before you got this bootloop, but the second rom you mentioned in your opening post isn't even for your phone, so i guess you got confused with what goes for your phone. You don't even get a kernel logo, so i guess you flashed a kernel for a different model altogether, or your stock kernel got corrupted. a repair should fix it.
I'm now updating on PC Companion like belgianguy said
If unsuccessfull I'll follow your instructions, thanks a lot in advance !
Same on PC Companion..no boot !
SmG67, I dont see any repair option on SEUS. It detects the phone and says thar it's updated. If I remove the battery while is searching my phone it keeps saying that it's updated. What am I doing wrong ?
On PC Companion I got the Repair option, it repaired, but...surprise...still can't boot !

That's a shame... because you now have all official sony ericsson firmware on your phone, kernel and rom... If it's still not booting the kernel, there's nothing you can do about it, maybe a repair-shop might be able to fix it.
Well, a repair-shop isnt able to fix it because the mini-usb port has bad contact and they consider this phone out of warranty because of that ! It almost never happens that bad contact..

Well if it's that far gone it might very well be a hardware issue. But just to be sure, could you start Flashtool and see if it still recognizes the device (see screenshot of what I see).
If it isn't able to, an older version of s1tool had an IDENTIFY option that required you plug the USB cable into the computer (but not in the phone), to shut down the phone, then push the BACK button and then plug the usb cable into the phone.
The bad contact you mentioned might be causing troubke as well, are you sure it isn't the cable that is at fault? Perhaps try to attach the USB cable in such a way that its not stressed and so that the phone cannot move (to prevent it from disconnecting due to a bad contact). Your flashes very well might have gone faulty because of that. But then again, the SEUS/PC Companion flashes seem to have succeeded, so hopefully Flashtool can shed some light here.
Hi guys.
Tonight I did a data reset via the system settings menu within the OS so that all personal data can be wiped from the phone.
Shortly after I did this, the phone reset, then just started randomly flashing and not booting, occasionally pausing on a totally white screen.
I tried to enter into recovery mode with no luck, and had no luck with download mode either.
My USB jig worked and got me into download mode, and it now also lets me enter download mode via the 3 button method.
I figured I would just use odin to flash a new kernel/ROM, however the phone refuses to come up in odin and is no longer even recognised on my PC (unknown usb device).
I've tried installing and reinstalling drivers, different usb ports, different cable etc and nothing makes any difference.
Anyone have any clue what I can do about this?
PS. The phone was on rootbox rom (unsure of version) and I'm fairly certain it had siyah kernel.
sorry, posted in the wrong section.
please switch it over, mods
No recovery?

What version were you running? GB, ICS or JB? Which kernel? Did you try to flash tar file? Repartition through Odin?

yes, the objective is to make my PC see the device.
and seeing as the PC needs to see the device for me to flash anything to it, I'm unsure as to how flashing siyah will help me when I cannot in fact flash anything at all

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

You get unkown device when plugged in? delete that.
Install kies.
Already installed? uninstall it.
Re install.
just figured out the problem with it not recognising it via usb, it was a dodgy USB flex that I'd installed to fix a microphone problem (which eventually turned out to not be hardware related).
just swapped back the original board and hey presto, the damn thing is recognised in windows and in odin.
thanks for the help guys
Be carefull now.
