I have a Flying FG8 (aka Xing ling HTC Desire) and it's half bricked. The phone, messaging, settings and music doesn't works cause I tried to change the framework and this functions stopped.
I want to restore the rom, but the Recovery doesn't work too, I tried the ADB but the USB debbuging is off. I don't know how enter in the fastboot mode in this phone, and don't know if it have a bootloader.
Have some way to force the usb debbug to install aplications and try to recover the original apps ?
I have some knowledge in development and don't have more ideas to solve it, someone can help me ?
PS: I want to use this phone only for test and develop the Firefox OS, or Ubuntu, maybe.
Anyone?
Why don't you just enable USB debugging? Is the Device Rooted? Have you tried running a Factory RUU? Then you can start the Root process over.
I can't enable because the settings.apk error. I can't root
I'll test the RUU, thanks

So I'm trying to get back to HTC to test a few things.
My keyboard is not working well at all with Froyo for some reason and I'd like to make sure it's Froyos problem (anybody else got this problem?)
I've found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
I run the wizard and it can't find my phone, though it's connected to the usb and all.
Is that how it should be done?
There is a thread somewhere by btdag called ruu and usb errors solved. That should sort you out.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Looks like this thread covers exactly what I'm looking for (including the keyboard issue):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750318
Basically:
For anyone having issues with Error 155(CID-checks fail, perhaps?) or 171(USB fail) while trying to restore a rooted HTC Hero to stock with an official RUU-exe, this is what worked for me where nothing else did:
- Create Goldcard
- Extract ROM.ZIP from the Official RUU exe you want to use. I downloaded it from their main site
- Rename to HEROIMG.zip
- Boot to flashboot mode (Volume down + Power on)
- Flash.
- Reboot and enjoy your new stock HTC Hero.

Haven't tried yet but should do the trick.
Haven't found the "ruu and usb errors solved" thread though.
Thanks!
[Guide] Drivers & RRU Errors Solved
... If you need it...
This is frustrating.
Got stuck in the very first step of both guides.
The one saying to make a gold card, I can't even run adb on windows. It says command not found on cdm.
So I'm going to the more reliable guide with the screenshots.
Right on the first step when you need to uninstall drivers, I select and click "uninstall" and nothing happens.
Gotta love windows.
Anyone who succeded doing this and how?

Were you in the correct folder when you tried to use adb? You need to install adb from the sdk, and run it from that folder, else windows can't know what program you are trying to use, unless you add it to $PATH.
I use adb all the time, and have tried millions of driver versions without issue.

Thanks for the reply.
I didn't use ADB; no idea how to use that.
I managed to get it working after some struggle and what worked was:
- Install HTC Sync. That will install the correct drivers
- Install HTC RUU from the official site
It was many trial and error times but in the end it worked.
Thanks again!
i have same problem. i want back my official soft with now root, but when i tried it with HTC RUU i get error (something about please check the phone has correctly connected on computer) so i don't know where's the problem. And one question more: when i plug my phone with usb cable to computer then which mode should i use? (charge only,disk drive...)

Try Installing HTC Sync first.
You using Windows 7 right? I think it's a Windows problem that install wrong drivers. HTC Sync will fix that.
Then you can try again.
The usb you just plug and you're done, no need to set a mode. You should get a (sound) notification that it's plugged.
My major issue with this is the need for a win machine. Everything would be much better if I could just do it in linux.
My phone was sent to repair now You also got trouble with the Hero keyboard?
nope, but the gps is dead. I try to repair it by warranty. But at the moment i have froyo rom with root and as you all knows ROOT=NO WARRANTY :S
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
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!
As far as I'm aware, you can't root your phone without the USB port working as most (if not all) root methods send their commands and files through ADB. Your pretty much stuck, unless your phone is under warranty. In that case, just go to your carrier and see if they'll give you a replacement device.

I think there may be a way to do it via terminal emulator on the phone.
If this is possible, can someone please post how to do it.
anyone with a work around?
damn!
Am I stuck or does anyone have a way for me to root this phone without the using the USB connection (USB does charge, It will know when you connect to the pc for USB storage BUT windows will say not recognized. I tried it on 4 other pc's same results. I think something is wrong with the OS of the phone. I think the previous owner tried to update with Kies and it messed up the phone. The phone does boot and works.

I did all of that.
I think something is wrong with the phone's OS that is effecting the usb port.
How do I root this phone WITHOUT the USB port?
There has to be a way!
Can you determinate VID&PID of phone?
I can get into the device with airdroid and see the system files.
Which files do I need (or which apps) and where do I copy them manually to get it rooted?

Is there not a device forum where you might could get some better information? My thinking is, a lot of the people (or most of the people) who may know some workarounds can probably help, but they don't check this section very often or at all.
Even if there's not a section for that model, I'm thinking there's probably one quite similar. Also a lot of times, a big portion of the userbase of one phone, will migrate to the same model when they upgrade.
Just throwing out some ideas in case that's helpful. My only advice on the problem itself is that I would look further into the driver issue. I've helped several people with very similar issues that we finally were able to correct.
Have you tried to ADB the device just to pull the serial? With USB debugging enabled. Have you installed the SDK and tried the naked drivers? There's some things to pursue possibly so you can have more information for the person who helps you get things straightened out.
Hi XDA Community,
I want to flash this Kit Kat ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603396
At the moment I'm running the Enigma ROM v4.1. on Stock Sony Kernel (at least I think thats the kernel I flashed most recently). In the Settings it shows following Kernel Version:
3.0.8+
[email protected]) )
#1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 13 11:51:07 2013
Now my problem is that I can't get into recovery to flash the right kernel and the ROM afterwards. Fast- and Flashmode aren't working too (Loosing connection after a few Seconds, I can't even reinstall drivers. Windows says that there aren't any drivers into the fastboot driver package I downloaded today. I downloaded several ones, even a full fastboot driver package for almost all devices).
I have all necessary Data on my phone as well as on my PC, I only need to get them together... I tried to install CWM Recovery via Recover X and the CWM Manager App. But there is no Recovery on my phone (tried to reboot by Terminal Emulator Command into Recovery, only got a Error that there isn't a Recovery on the phone)
I can acces my phones storage by Using MyPhoneExplorer and I can acces these data with ES Data Explorer on my Phone. I'd basicly need an .apk file wich flashes the Kernel whilst running the phone. I think that this can't be possible but maybe someone has a workaround (maybe installing the Kernel onto another partition to not affect the running system or something like that).
The Reason for me to fllash another ROM is that theres basicly nothing working on my phone at the Moment. I can't do any downloads on it (Even Apps from Google Play, it only displays a dashed line where usually the progress of the Download appears). Allmost all preinstalled Apps are not working proper too (SMS crashes imedeately after start, having the same Issue with Calls, the alarm Clock crashes when it should ring (I only get a Notification, no Sound/Vibration. When I try to disable it, it crashes. It's going on like that for more Apps...).
The Important Apps such as SuperUser, Settings and Terminal Emulator are working. I have Root rights and my BL is unlocked (was able to look it up by typing *#*#7378423#*#*). Enabling USB Debugging is possible to.
Do anybody of you have any Idea to flash the new Kernel (I'd use the CM11 Kernel with working Recovery as mentioned in the Thread I linked up there)?
Kind Regards and thanks in advance

You not realy a hacker are ya?
To begin with, untill you had your flash/fastboot mode working don't attampt install anything, because when things get sour, and they will, you will be left with a brick.
You can install CWM recovery from here.
Now to get to the root of your problem, what was changed since the last time you have used flash/fastboot mode?
Is it the same computer/OS you have been using before or maybe you have made a foolish thing like upgrading to windows 8 or above?
I only changed ROM and Kernel. I did no Hard- and Software changes on my PC. Used and Using Windows 7 64Bit Home Premium Service Pack 1. Hopefully it won't ever be necessary to do that foolish thing with "upgrading" to win8 :fingers-crossed:
I don't know last kernel with working Fastboot anymore. The only thing I know that I had been running Paranoid Android (Android 4.1.2, don't know the Version Number).
I tried to install the Drivers on 2 other PCs, running Win8.1 64Bit and Win7 32Bit, as well, nothing worked. Maybe I need to reinstall Windows all the Way from the beginning to clear all drivers and that stuff. As this would take really long I'd prefer a "normal" solution for sure.
The Link you posted is for locked BL. Will it work with Unlocked BL too?
Thanks for your answer, I hope I could give you some further information wich gives you the opinion to give me a solution.
EDIT:
My PC just reminded me that theres another Info that may could help:
Sony PC Companion get's that there is a Sony phone plugged in. It can't get further information so it notifiys me that My (zero) is connected. If I want to sync anything It's not possible because it can't install any drivers or any other necessary software.

Maybe try to reinstal PC Companion though I am not sure it installs fastboot drivers.
Did you install the drivers from flashtool drivers folder(Xperia P, flash mode, and fasboot drivers)
I tried to reinstall Fastboot drivers because I had troubles with normal fastboot flashing (sending boot failed after displaying the speed of transmission). Sorry I totally forgot to mention this... My Problem with reinstalling drivers is that I can open the window "properties" of S1 Fastboot, but I can't install drivers (I'm navigating to my,downloaded FB drivers but Windows only says that there are no drivers in the folder. They are the right ones and I didn't forget to unzip them etc.).
Don't know how I can install them alternatively so I tried to find a App wich installs the Recovery so I could flash Kernel and Rom there.
Tried to flash Recovery with your linked .batch, did not worked to. It only displays loads of Error messages. Can't upload the log at the moment. If needed I'll do round about 5PM GMT+1.
I don't think that PC companion contains FB drivers but I'll reinstall it.
I'm not sure if I installed the drivers of Flashtool and as I'm not on my PC atm I can't look it up. Will do that too when I'm back at home.
Thanks for all that tips, I think the Flashtool drivers will be the key...
To install CWM you need to have USB debugging enabled in developer options.
I know that I need to enable it. It was enabled when I tried to install the recovery. I can push data on my phone with my phone explorer, it needs usb debugging activated and it worked so it wasn't the reason for failing of recovery install.
I'll try to install the drivers of flashtool in a few minutes, hopefully it works then.
It failed. Still no FB- or Flashmode for more than a few seconds. I saw that there is a TWRP App. It's not compatible with SXP, but with Z, Z1, T and S Xperia Phones. As they have other hardware as the P I'll probably brick my device with trying to flash one of them. Is there another way to install any Recovery without using FB? ADB Tools could work too for that right? Or could I flash a Kernel with working Recovery by a Terminal Emulator command?
Installing Recovery with the CWM Recoverymanager .apk doesn't work because the SXP is not officially supported by CWM.
instal recoverx from playstore
Hey guys, new member here but been a lurker off and on for awhile.. not sure what to do, you guys are my last hope.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime from straighttalk. Android version is 4.4.4 (I think).
Anyway, I was screwing with it trying to speed it up using a few apps I downloaded from the store, the apps let you uninstall apps that the normal manager won't let you and manage what system apps are allowed to run at startup..etc. also I was messing with applock and phone encryption.. So I'm not sure what messed things up.
Well needless to say, I shoulda been more careful, because now my phone is screwed! I can't view my home screen at all so can't call/txt and can't access my settings to try to fix the problem..
Before people tell me to reformat it, I have tried 100 times.. I press volume up + power + home to get to bootloader and tried doing a full reformat as well as wiping the cache partition... Reboot phone the setup screen comes up asking for my name/google account..etc but I can't complete it, it always crashes sayin either "hangouts has stopped working" "setup wizard stopped working" or something about a android.keyguard service.
So next I jumped on Google and read to try the Kies software but I can't for life of me get it to detect my phone.. took awhile but I think I got all the drivers installed.. kies will just say it's connecting to my device but never does. Tried kies 2 and 3 and different cords, I think it's because android isn't even truly fully installed since the setup wizard crashes.. so the MTP capability isn't even there.. under my computer I don't see my phone either like I use to, just a blank drive that has no name and can't be accessed.
So then after more reading I decided to try "ADB sideloading".. I'm a newb is to this stuff so idk if I even did it right but hooked usb up went into bootloader and reformatted/cleared cache then I went to ADB and using cmd on my pc I tried to send a zip of cyanogenmod (got it on xda, suppose to work on galaxy core prime) and it said it was successful but it doesn't do anything.. so idk if it's cuz u can't use custom roms with the stock bootloader? I read about other Rom managers but how am I suppose to install them?
if a stock firmware will work, where can I find one?
Sorry for the wall of text, I'm just stuck here and wanted to add everything I could think of that I tried already.
I dont think it's a physical hardware problem, I think i just screwed some system files up somehow which screwed up the recovery partition..
Extra note:
I am able to use the internet browser though, when the setup gets to the step to link your google, in the top right I can go to "enter browser signin" and then I can bypass the fact there's no search bar by clickin privacy policy and clicking a logo to bring me to Google's homepage.
At this point I don't even care about saving data, what Rom is used or anything. Just wanna be able to text and make calls again.
Forgot to add but using the Google accounts bypass to use the browser I also tried going to google play from there and got the play app to open on my phone but it won't let me install any apps (stuck downloading forever) and will say the app isnt supported on my device even when it should be... tried the android device manager but it cant locate my phone and the reformat option there doesnt work either.

Get a custom recovery (preferably twrp) and then wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe section except your sdcard and then just adb sideload cyanogenmod or any other CUSTOM rom for your phone.
You should just be able to reload the original firmware with Odin. Or Kies will probably work, but you have to use Download Mode to be able to restore it, not while it is booted into the OS.
Thanks for the replies, bit I wish it was as easy as you guys make it sound. Kies isn't working because the MTP driver fails to install on windows no matter what mode I'm in or usb port/cord, no way to access usb settings on phone since I can't get past android setup into the homescreen. Also usb debugging is probably not enabled.. how can I enable that when I can't access settings?
I tried to install TWRP (through adb sideload since can't install anything from store) but when I do "adb devices" nothing is listed.. when I tried it on linux there WAS a device listed though so I did sudo adb sideload twrp.zip from within adb folder and it said it sent it but on my phone it says something about a error verifying it or something then it automatically tries again and says it completed and goes to reboot but it doesn't appear to have worked because there's no sign of it.. is TWRP just suppose to replace the stock bootloader if the sideload is successful? If not how do I access it? Also tried sideloading cyanogen right from the stock bootloader but get the same thing.. says it was sent 100% and phone reboots but there's no sign of it... perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
Argh so frustrating all the time I've wasted trying to fix this. I even completely wiped linux off my pc and installed windows 7 again thinking it was a compatibility problem, but now I think I just went backwards because at least on linux my phone was detected doing "adb devices"...

Yes you have to be in recovery to actually be able to do adb sideload, try adb reboot recovery.
Hey guys I have a Samsung galaxy core that had android 4.4.4 and i managed to screw it up and now unable to reformat it from stock bootloader.. It will say it formatted and reboot into the android setup wizard but unable to finish setup because of crashes. (Hangouts, setup wizard, and keyguard all stop working) so I can't access home screen, settings, call/txt nadda.
So because of that, none of the solutions I've found work for my case (kies, adb sideload, installing twrp from store)..etc because it's hard to do any of that when it's impossible for me to enable usb debugging, changge usb to MTP, or root my phone. (Did root with kingo before I screwed things up, not sure if still rooted since I wiped it with stock bootloader.. but pretty sure usb debugging isn't enabled, and MTP doesn't seem to be working since windows can't install the driver's and kies won't detect it.
So anyway, I think my options are limited.. but I have an idea but wanted to ask here first.. I noticed in the stock bootloader there is option to install from external storage.. and I have another android phone that works.. so is there way I can put the SD card from my "bricked" phone in the working phone and install twrp and cyanogen mod on it and put it back in the bricked phone and install from that? maybe there is already a tutorial out there?
