So, I got the phone on craigslist, installed CWM via odin, rooted via CWM, then installed an ICS rom (stock, leaked) via a weird integrated odin-style thing (no file selection, but odin style com lists and all, and odin icon, but it was an 877mb exe file that contained all.) the rom works all but perfectly. I then went to sleep, plugging the phone into some random usb charger I had from another phone. Now, a few days later, I realize I'm unrooted. Plug it into the computer, nothing. The phone makes the charging noise, and charges fine, but neither the computer nor the phone realize they're connected at all. Tried one other cable, wiped data/cache/all that, tried installing cwm via stock recovery with an sd card, everything like that. The USB doesn't work in download mode, or in the OS. It's like it's not connected.
This is my first Android phone adventure, I'd really like it to not end in a $350 waste. Probably would just go back to iPhones (and nobody wants that!)
This is why i dont use software from untrusted sources. So can you get into cwm? Hold volume buttons and power buttons together until the first vibrate. Release the power button but keep holding volume buttons until Samsung comes up and it vibrates again then release volume buttons. This should get you into recovery. Have a new rom downloaded wirelessly to your SD card. Wipe the phone and install the new rom.

It has stock recovery. Is there any way to flash a new rom over the current one, without odin, only using an SD card and stock ICS recovery? I've tried the cwm.zip and superuser and both zips fail to verify the whole-file signature.
you said you installed clockwork recovery. did it somehow uninstall itself? i don't understand
CWM is just gone, replaced by stock recovery. Also no USB. Thank god it works perfectly, or I'd be really, really angry.
Check to make sure there isn't debris in the USB port. My Note had a microscopic piece of whatever in the socket, that was obstructing a pin, and every time i'd plug it into any USB cable, the phone would act like it had just been plugged into a dock, and my laptop would see it as an unknown device.
A blast of canned air should clean it right out.
If that doesn't help, check your Device Manager to make sure it's not showing up as an unknown device or missing any drivers
If you can access Download mode, you can easily use Odin to flash CWM, and from there, a more developed ROM than the base stock leak
Well, download mode is accessible, only the computer sees NOTHING. No trace of a note connected at all. Nor does any trace appear when doing anything in the OS, including hitting "connect mass storage to PC"
it says connect a cable to do this, etc.
Not to derail, but damn you got yours for $350? I can't find any for under $500 asking. I got mine for about $450. $200 plus a Toshiba Thrive worth around $250 and I was damn proud my my deal making prowess! Good deal on yours man.

Just thinking out loud but do you have USB debugging checked?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
If you can't connect in download mode, it's got to be a hardware issue. Try using a different cable /port on your computer. If not, you may need warranty repairs.
Try a different computer too. Possibly an issue with the USB controller or drivers.

So the phone unrooted itself and reput stock recovery on it by itself?
Sure you're on the same phone?

Try installing the latest "KIES"
I have a bizarre problem. I was on aokp jb 3.1.2 and i decided to flash omega 16. In aroma i was about halfway through when my phone shut off. (it wasnt the battery, it was almost full when i started) now when i try to boot the phone all it does is boot straight to recovery. I can move up and down with the volume keys but i cant select anything with my power button. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt recognize my phone. I know its not my drivers since odin detected my friends i777 just fine. My phone only boots cwm and download mode. Is my phone bricked and if not how do i fix it? Thanks. And i apologize if i am in the wrong forum.
Nope, as long as the phone turns on, you shouldn't need to use the word "brick." It is a connection issue; try a different port, making sure you don't have Heimdall drivers installed on it. I suggest playing with the connection until it shows up.
I have tried all ports on two computers. Still nothing
Have you tried opening Odin first, then connecting phone fresh in download mode?

Hi All,
I've got a Galaxy Nexus which looks like working till the standby screen kicks in and then it turns itself off. The phone is rooted.
Fastboot starts while I press the vol up+down+pwr buttons, but once I release them the phone turns off. The volume down+pwr buttons are doing the same effect. While turned on I can browse the whole system via file manager.
Once I connect to the USB cable (power or computer) it turns off.
The phone is i9250 running currently Android 4.2.2
I've tried to figure out some solution in the posts but I didn't find any relevant info. I need to reset the root access and reinstall the factory image.
THe other problem is when I connect the USB cable the phone turns itself off
I tried to download the OMAP flash file from Legija but the link doesn't work anywhere... If you have any info on that I would really appreciate

have you tried nexus root toolkit (find it on xda)
select the "Back to stock/unroot" option and "bootloop" it will flash your phone back to stock.
and wrong forum by the way

Thanks for your reply.
When I plug in the USB the device turns off. I can't put it to download mode either.
I've just downloaded the OMAP flash files but at this stage I try to figure out how to use it. I've installed the nexus drivers but OMAP does not recognize my phone, so it looks like I stuck for a while.
BTW: I can access the root partition when the phone turned on(normal use), so if anyone knows what should I change or delete in order to enter the download mode I would appreciate it. Thx

wait you can turn your phone on? or what do you mean by "I can access the root partition when the phone turned on(normal use)"?

Yes, I can turn the phone on to normal use however it turns itself off when it is plugged to USB or if it is going to standby.
Since it is rooted, with a file browser I can access the root partition. I can NOT connect USB and I can NOT put it download mode or fastboot mode because the phone turns off straight away. I even can make short phone calls from it.
So I'm just after some info on how to fix the USB connection and put the phone back to original state so I can send it to Samsung for repair
Is USB debugging turned on or off?
try turning it on (if its off) and off (if its on).
i am asuming that it only turns off when you connect your phone to you PC, not to a wall charger right?
Bricked means the device just doesn't work at all. This commonly happens (bricked) when there's a software update and it gets half updated. Therefore, the answer is no, its not bricked, but you do have a serious problem there.

hello everybody,
i used to be active on the x10 forum.
but recently i switched to xperia P.
i unlocked the bootloader,
used fastboot to flash custom boot.img,
fastbooted custom kernel (FreeXperia),
installed cm10.zip with the CWM included in kernel,
everything works except wifi and bluetooth (which i guess is the rom's fault, so i dont really mind)
and then i installed apps from the cm10 file manager.
it detects my 16gb internal memory.
but my titanium backup and some other apps says it cannot access my internal memory, so it doesnt show any apps. (usb is disconnected)
so i thought mayybe some apps dont have access, so i thought i should mount my internal memory (although it already works for my cm10 file manager).
that was a very stupid decision because i used this code from this website which i got after i googled and used it on my terminal emulator.
guess what happened? my device got stuck/hang/frozen.
then when i pressed the power button, it was totally blank, no response and the screen went off.
i tried force shutdown by pressing and holding the volume-up & power button at the same time for a long time, that didnt work either, it had no effect, there was not even a vibration.
and when i charge it, there is no charging light.
it doesnt boot, it doesnt show me the kernel screen, or the CWM screen.
this is worse than a bootloop.
anyone who has previous experience with this?? or has a suggestion on how to repair?
any advice will be much appreciated :crying:

I think you've posted in the wrong forum - should be in Q/A.
Is your phone able to detect in flash mode? (while it is off, hold DOWN volume key and connect USB - check for LED illuminated)
Is your phone able to detect in fastboot mode? (while it is off, hold UP volume key and connect USB - check for LED illuminated PURPLE)

Hi.
1. Have you tried to charge it through the charger, instead of the usb por of PC?
2. If you tried, did you let it charge for at least 30 minutes? (Sometimes the battery drains so much that the phone needs time even to show it´s charging.)
If the battery charges, you should try flashing a Stock Rom through Flashtools.
If it doesn´t, then I can´t say you should do it but if I were in ur position, I would surely open my phone and try to charge this battery somehow. Google a lot to learn how it works, the wires, what is positive and negative and bla bla bla because your biggest problem NOW is not having power to work with the phone.
Hope you have good luck!
=)
Sorry please post your thread at Q&A

Use this guide to open the phone up and just disconnect the battery for a few minutes. Then try connecting in either fastboot/flash mode. The phone may need to be repartitioned and reflashed.
Same issue
Hi Davin-J
Did you finally solved this problem? I have the same now. And my battery should be good.
...............................
1/2 day later:
It was the battery. I managed to get it back to life as copper62472 told us. The strange thing was, that the Sony charger didn't charge the phone battery; may be because I bricked the phone before with system/data/cache wiped and formatted. I was not even able to restore it with SUS, because the phone was not detected at the USB.
Then I charged the battery outside the phone with a current limited power supply. After putting the charged battery back into the phone, restoring with SUS worked without a hitch.

My xperia p is also in dead condition now. I'm thinking like it's battery is fully drained. It all started with flashing of a custom kernel.
i could take the battery out. i need to charge it by external means. How can i do that? Please help me.
Was flashing a rom on ss 3.65 when screen went black and device bricked, now i can boot only to the picture of the sick android and PC only sees it as an unreconizable usb device, tried reinstalling motorolas drive to no avail. Until pc can see it properly i cant go to RSD and reflash. Any sugestions?
Thanks all
Did you do a nandroid backup when you first rooted and added safestrap? Just hold down pretty Ten seconds till reboot and restore...unless you try till flash on safe side...I ran into same and rsd...my computer wouldn't read either but I reopen loaded driver from Moto site, then kept plugging unplugging sub till it read....good luck
