[Q] First flash fail + Linux USB errors - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed these instructions only: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35603363&postcount=3
I ignored the warning about needing to flash a stock rom as I couldn't see the point of flashing something which is already on the device.
When in Odin mode, it says:
Code:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-S5830i
CUSTOM BIN DOWN: NO(0 counts)
CURRENT BIN:SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
With the phone in ODIN mode, plugging the device into my Linux PC comes up with USB errors much like the following:
Code:

Ordinarily, I use Odin within a VirtualBox Vista install, but as Linux is reporting the problem, that renders VirtualBox useless. I don't really want to re-install Vista on my PC, as it will mean a lot of hard drive partition shuffling including deletion of one of my Linux installs just to make room for a Windows install which I'll very rarely use.
Code:
[[email protected] ~]$ uname -a
Linux Scrapyard 3.7.10-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 28 09:50:17 CET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
A few questions first:
1) Any Linux users solved this without using Windows?
2) Might I find after installing Windows, that the problem is not with Linux?
3) Is there some other way of reseting the phone?
Thanks for any help.

Have you even installed the USB drivers?

Which USB drivers would they be? I'm not being funny, but have you even read the title? I'm using Linux. I don't need to install USB drivers.
#edit2
At least, I don't need to install USB drivers for any device which operates in mass storage mode, which was what the device was operating in before I bricked it.
I don't know what protocol the device operates in when in Download Mode... it wouldn't be Media Transfer Protocol (MPT) by any chance?
I followed these instructions for my Galaxy Tab 2.0
wiki.archlinux.org index.php/MTP
Might be worth a try... will report back...

Sorry, but I don't know much about Linux. So I am just asking if there are USB drivers on Linux. So, sorry.

Ok no problem.
Decided MTP has nothing to do with this at all, definitely barking up the wrong tree there.

Tried it in Windows Vista now. I have Kies installed. Windows does not recognize the device, it says the device malfunctioned... Vista installs some USB driver for the device, but it's still an unknown device. Odin does not recognize the device.
The device won't boot into recovery mode.
The device won't boot past the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i screen.
Is there anything else I can do to get it working again?

First remove and select delete drivers from Device Manager in control panel. Then remove cable from usb port. Install the drivers dont connect cable. Reboot computer. Take battery out. When pc fully boots plug cable to phone. Enter odin mode (vol up + vol down + power). When you see warning screen immediately plug cable to pc in other usb port. Select odin mode in phone and wait drivers to recognized. Open odin to see if com port installed. Then flash one of the original firmwares.

I forgot to ask, have you enable usb debugging in your phone?

Hi ChelebiTech, thanks for replying. Taken me a long time to get around to doing this, partly because I really really really did not expect that to work. But unbelievably it did, and my gt-s5830i is now recognized by Odin v3.0.7. Good stuff.
However, I'm really struggling to navigate my way around all the available information on here. I don't know if I should first try flashing a new recovery, because I cannot enter recovery mode, or try flashing a stock firmware.
I've been looking at flashing the stock firmware but I can't find any exact firmware matches from the details I've written down before my failed flash attempt.
I wrote down:
Sales Code: BTU
PDA:S5830iXXLD3
PHONE:S5830iXXLD2
CSC:S5830iBTULC1
Using the firmware checker on samsmobiles.com, the closest match I find is
PDA:S5830IXXLK3
CSC:S5830IBTULK1
MODEM:S5830IXXLK1
As far as flashing a recovery goes, what are my choices if I can't use any recovery mode in the first place? Is there a recovery I can flash?
Thanks for any help.

download mode -> unknown device

Hello everyone,
I've searched for a solution over the forum but I didn't find any solution..
So my problem is that I can't use Odin because windows doesn't recognize my phone on Download mode.
I have the drivers installed, Kies and windows recognize my GS2 without problems.
I've tried with different cable, different USB port, uninstall/reinstall drivers many times, from Kies or from samsung web site.
I just have no idea why in download mode windows doesn't use the installed drivers..
Help?
Thanks!
Did you try in a different PC?
I am sure driver is the only cause. Perhaps you can try following. Install Kies, then connect phone once and check if Kies detects your phone
Which version of Windows are you using? I am using Windows 7 and its working fine. I did root yesterday and Windows detected drivers and also it had to download from net for some reason. In the end it did work
USB cable to main board connection .
Reboot phone turn USB debugging off .
Set USB to Mass storage mode .
Connect cable and let Windows find USB drivers .
jje
Did you terminate every Kies process before opening Odin?
Hello,
Thanks for the answers.
I'm running on windows 7 64. But it didn't try on another pc.
Windows does install drivers and recognize my phone in USB to Mass storage mode.
But still not recognize it in download mode and yes I've terminated every Kies process.
I know that in Download mode windows install some new/different (?) drivers. When I'm on download mode, windows fails to install driver as it's an "unknown device". Is there a way to install those drivers manually?
Hello,
Un-install Kies, reboot system, reinstall kies.
Still not work. After reboot and reinstalling Kies my phone was recognized, but in download mode there is still nothing.
If windows has USB drivers then download mode works .
Is USB debugging turned off .
Reboot phone
Enter download mode follow instructions on download mode screen .
Open Odin select files to flash
Connect Samsung USB cable to mainboard port .
Hit start on Odin .
jje
USB debugging is off.
But as windows don't recognize the device, Odin can't detect it in download mode.
It's really weird

Post the steps you are taking from the very beginning .

Ok, I manage to get this working.
I did this:
-I have unplugged all the USB on my motherboard, I've uninstalled all the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" (to acces type devmgmt.msc in windows start menu)
-Turn off the PC and unplugged the power supply. Waiting like 3 minutes.
-Replug the power supply and boot.
-Replug all my USB, windows reinstalling everything.
-Plug my phone in download mode and windows finally installed the drivers and Odin detect it !
So if someone have a unknown device issue with a code 43, please try this.
Thanks for your time and answers.
Disabling the "unknown device" and then disconnecting and reconnecting my phone worked for me.
Run Kies as Administrator, Install Drivers
This is what worked for me. Kies said the Drivers were installed without Administrator but nothing worked

[Q] Any way to make the i9100 detected (usb)

Hi,
I have a 9100 that I try to make windows 7 x64 detect. I tried with the drivers and even with kies but the phone is simply not detected as if it was not connected with the usb cable. I played with debug on/off, and mount button but nothing worked.
I can charge the battery with the usb cable but cant xfer files, its only charging the pone, nothing else.
Any idea of what could be the problem ?
Install usb drivers via kies.

Hi,
I already done that, still no detection, its not even telling unknown device.
Just as any other windows hardware reboot phone reboot PC .
Boot phone set to USB mode in settings connect cable wait for windows to install drivers .
KIES tools Install driver .
That fails read all the other exact same posts for a solution .

It was the usb cable the problem. I changed it, now its working, thx for the help.

pc not recognising phone

Hi,
I think the usb port on my sgs2 is f***** It will send a charge to the phone, but will not recognise it.
I get error on my vista laptop as :
USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED - One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
I have tried reinstalling usb drivers on kies and put in debugging mode etc. I had a problem with the phone not charging around christmas time, so I cleaned the usb port with a cocktail stick, that got the charge working, but it has not picked up usb mode since. So I cant connect usb storage or to ODIN, let alone KIES.
Does anyone have any advice/suggestions as to what I could try, I really dont want to send it back for repair and be handset less for a month!

I am Sure no problem with your mobile. May be problem with computer Hardware or Drivers.
can you try different USB port or you can different computer also.
If you dnt have another PC , uninstall all samsung drivers & kies and reboot the PC.
Just connect as USB storage . USB storage not require any special drivers.
Also use the original usb cable. I have two different cables and only original one works.

Make sure:

to a PC host, is manually set in the PhoneUtil (PU) Menu.
This sets the behavior of your phone when connecting it

usb not recognized, tablet goes into apx but the computer does not recognize it. I have tried several different driver combinations and it still cant' see it. I think that I somehow screwed up the driver in the tablet. but can't even get it to connect to the computer. I tried a linux connection and it didn't recognize it either. I was using a live cd and tried to get the startup to locate a driver, no such luck. Is there a way I can completly format the tablet??? I can't get it past the boot loader error. thanks for your input up to now. hope someone has answers for me. I may have created a very nice parts machine.

You can't screw-up the APX-mode USB driver on the gTablet--it's built into the system firmware --ie. it's hard-coded. A HW error is a more likely culprit (if, indeed, the PC doesn't see the tablet in APX mode) . Disassemble the gTab and carefully inspect the USB port and surroundings for stray bits of metal, or solder, or cut traces, etc.

Since you can use Linux, do this:
1. Boot into Linux.
2. Put the tablet into APX mode (the screen will turn off).
3. Plug the cable from the tablet into the PC.
4. Run these command (only the stuff in bold) and post their output (or a screenshot):

Dead P760: no life, only "OMAP mode"

Hi,
Yesterday a friend of mine gave me a LG L9 (P760). Some months (or maybe years) ago he changed this phone for a new one and stored it without battery. 2 days ago he tried to turn it on but no life, same result when he connected it to the wall charger.
I tried connecting it without battery to the PC (on Ubuntu, if I use windows 10 the device keeps disconnecting and connecting and I can't install the OMAP4430 driver because win says they are already updated (it isn't so, uses the driver for "usb enumeration failure")) and is recognized, via lsusb, as "ID 0451:d00f Texas Instruments, Inc.".
If i launch dmesg it gives (more than one time):
Code:
[ 973.692035] usb 1-6: new high-speed USB device number 26 using ehci-pci
[ 973.825080] usb 1-6: unable to get BOS descriptor

[ 973.825964] usb 1-6: Manufacturer: Texas Instruments
[ 976.826505] usb 1-6: USB disconnect, device number 26
.
I tried using the method suggested here: http://vincenzoml.blogspot.it/2013/08/lg-l9-unbrick-script.html. I can get into fastboot but then it says
Code:
sending 'u-boot' (1024 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.675s]
writing 'u-boot'...
FAILED (remote: partition does not exist)
What can I do? Is there a possibility to make this phone work again?
Thanks in advance to all!
Under Win7 i had both the LG drivers and the Google SDK drivers installed. Under Win10 also, but the Google drivers can't be found in device manager. Anyway, in contrary to Win7, the LG drivers and LG software xan niw detect my phone and work, with the exception of Fastboot. Under Win7 and with a custom rom, LG drivers were only good to provide a virtual com port in D/L mode.
And the morale of this tale: These outdated OMAP drivers were never of any use to me.
That's the normal behavior of the OMAP Chip, the only thing you've to do is to re-flash putting back the battery and then, connecting your device over USB while holding Vol+.
Ah, no battery. While it's sometimes recommended to remove the battery during unbricking, i think it's simply impossible to do this or anything w/o battery, despite the 0,5A power via usb.
After a failed attempt to invoke D/L mode, you can remove the battery shortly, or switch the phone on and (force) off for an extra time, to try again. Otherwise it's more likely that D/L mode will again fail.

I have the battery! The problem is that fastboot can't find the partitions
If the first hurdle has been passed, and there is actual access to the phone(i'm not sure whether this is the case here), the partitions really got deleted or damaged. Unbricking with a stock rom is the only option. Or professional service (better a new phone) if that ain't possible.
Can't you try this, please? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546571 I've found it on the forum just a couple of minutes ago, I hope it helps .
Good luck!
I have the same problem.
If x-loader and u-boot partitions does not exist, we do not have the bootloader, and you can't do anything to make the phone work aside from JTAG.
I tried to boot recovery from computer without flashing using 'boot' command (fastboot boot recovery.img) and this still doesn't work because I don't have bootloader.
Method from post above does not work for me.
