After a did a firmware update using USB Burning tool, without no troubles, I want to install other firmware because the accelerometer doesn't work, and so the auto-rotate function (it worked on the old firmware), and I can't get into recovery mode, the home + power function does not work anymore.
I want to use USB Burning tool to reflash the tablet, like the last time, but now I have this problem: when I connect the tablet trough USB cable with the power on, windows recognize the mass storage, but when the power is off, which I need for USB Burning tool, it doesn't do anything. It should show in the bottom-right corner that USB device found, but it doesn't.
I tried this:
1. to hold home-button and then to insert USB... nothing, it just shows the battery charging
2. to hold home+power button... nothing... doesn't enter in recovery mode, it's just loading android system.
3. SD card slot was empty when I tried this.
Does anybody had some king of problems? or know what's the problem?
Please, I need to fix this.

Hi everyone.
So I have a Motorola Droid RAZR XT910 its on 4.0.4 OTA with no root.
The issue I have is that I connect the phone to my PC via USB cable and it does not pick it up.
A few things you must know is:
•I have windows 7 32-bit and
•I am using the cable that comes with my phone
What happens when I plug my phone is the computer says installing drivers for unknown device and then it claims to have successfully installing them for "unknown device". My phone does give me option to chose what type of connection I want but it does charge.
Things I have tried:
•A different cable
•A different PC
• Re-installing drivers
• Re-installing Motocast
•Trying with USB Debugging enabled and disabled
•Different USB ports
•Factory reset
•Different USB ports
•Tried installing PIM Sync form Google Play Store
So yeah that's my problem any help will be helpful...
Try the drivers here:
http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v...59431210VgnVCM1000008406b00aRCRD&pubid=987654
When you try another cable, make sure that works with another device, and not just for charging.
The below instructions will help you troubleshoot if there is a problem with the usb connector on your phone.
1.Power off and disconnect usb cable.
2.Press and hold vol up and down, then hold the power button.
3.You should come to a boot mode selection menu.
4.Press vol down twice to highlight AP fastboot, press vol up once to select.
5.You should see AP fastboot flash mode (s), with last 2 lines saying "Connect USB, Data Cable"
6.Connect your USB cable to your PC and phone, and see if it says USB connected.
7. If nothing happens then it's probably a hardware problem, get it repaired.

Hi thank you for your help.
So I did this method on my PC and it was unsuccessful but i tried it on my mothers and it worked!
So I will update the drivers on my mothers PC and see If I can successfully connect to her PC and use USB mass storage for the first time since I've had Ice Cream Sandwich!
I will keep you updated
Its definitely software. Ill have to wait till there's a rooting application that doesn't require a connection between a PC and phone. One rooted I can flash a ROM from there on...
On your mother's PC, it worked in AP fastboot right? As in the words "USB connected" appears on your phone.
From there you can flash a rom.

I can flash fastboot files which I dont want to do.. I want to flash custom ROMs which require root.
The ap fastboot worked for me but when i restarted the phone it still wont connect with mass storage. i do not own a motorola usb cable mine is an LG and i dont really have money to buy one. bought the phone on ebay and it did not ship with one so ive been using this. it only connects as charging.
So I'm stuck... My USB is blinking on the other side of the y-cable we made, but my phone just says "Enter USB Host Mode.." I tried pressing Vol-dwn + Camera but it just stays there.. can anyone help?

I have the same problem when I try to jailbrake my phone using RUU. So try Vol-dwn + Vol-up and it will work.

I held power and got out. My question is how do I jailbreak my phone? I tried going back into USB host mode but nothing happened. What should I do? I'm using a 1gb USB and also tried a 1GB SD card
Use microSD card (I used a 32mb)
If laptop -> remove all usb connected peripherals (ext WEbcam, mouse,printer etc)
Put the phone in USB HOST MODE
Make the connections at three ends of Y cables, male end connected to laptop. female to card reader and another to the phone.
Wait for the phone to display LOADING else, while phone still connected press power button
Phone restarts to usb host mode, wait for loading, when display wait further 10 mins
Display changes with Bootloader and radio installation
If fails or boots to bootloader screen, try running the gold card app again with the microSD card, make sure its formatted to FAT 32. Contains No any file except OMEGIMG.nbh
After initial one or two resets it definitely works!
P.S. check the connections by connecting the male end to laptop and other to phone to confirm charging! and likewise the female ends( in case you made the gig!)

No going back to USB host mode this is mistake you should be in Bootloader mode turn off the phone than press Voldn + Volup and start the phone and still hold the buttons till get in Bootloader menu. After that it will work. Do you try first to use RUU ? Or you receive Country ID error ? Goldcard is only in case you receive country ID error. I use RUU without country ID error and it work very well.
Hi there,
yesterday I tried to root my new Tablet Z (16GB, LTE, Model: SGP321, Firmware: 10.4.B.0.569) and it doesn't start since then.
I used an ubuntu live CD for all these tasks because fastboot doesn't work on my win 8.1 and my debian wheezy didn't have the libc-dev needed in its repositories (didn't want to mess with packets that weren't yet integrated into my OS).
What I did:
unlock the bootloader according to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/how-to-root-10-4-b-0-569-t2590781
a few annotations to this:
the firmware rar didn't include a "Recover.zip", so I used the boot.img directly inside the firmware rar
although sony and this CM tutorial use the "-i" parameter of fastboot, I didn't use it because it wasn't used by the tutorial
after I did the "fastboot reboot" step, the device wasn't listed anymore when typing "fastboot devices", which, I think, is okay since the device should restart then.
I think it didn't really restart, because the LED on the side glew red.
I tried to turn on the tablet but it didn't do anything (the LED kept glowing red).
I tried holding vol up and power for a few seconds (until the LED blinked first once and then three times) but the tablet wouldn't do anything except for the LED glowing red. at somepoint, the LED would turn off (I think that happened when I hold vol up and power for more than 10 sec).
I was able to let it glow red again by pressing vol up and power again and release the vol up button before the power button.
I also tried to use the PC companion on my windows machine to repair the tablet but the tablet wasn't even recognized (either using the fastboot-procedure by holding vol up while connecting the tablet nor normal plugging in...)
any ideas what I could do next?
Same Problem!
Hey wullxz!
I have the same problem. Red LED most of the time, and I cannot make ANY USB connection to the PC. The tablet won't show up in the device manager. So obviously cant use flashtool, nor PC companion. Ive tried all this volume up and down button stuff, but simply cannot get it to show up on the computer.. Tried a different USB cable as well.. Same issue. The USB port is definitely not broken. Its brand new..
Have you found any solution ? Or anyone else? Mine just got back from Sony Repair.. they wont fix it cuz they detected that Ive tampered with the original software.... meaning Warranty Lost!
Great!
hi,
i also sent mine to sony for a repair. i wrote that i did a firmware update and the tablet wouldn't boot afterwards.
i didn't try the bootloader-unlock again afterwards.
Help Needed!
Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet, everything normal...
2) Charge my tablet
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think you should open a new thread for your problem because it seems like it's not really similar to my issue.
you should get more/better replies in an own thread.
Oki

let it charge to 100%, check for flashmode drivers installed and then try attaching it to pc only when flashtool asks you to do it.

Hey thanks for your reply... It wont go into flashmode... Theres something fundamentally wrong.. I cant figure out what... I leave it plugged in for 48 hours..but it doesnt really get full.. the most Ill get the orange LED.. like 50%... now its on since about 12 hours.. no LED on at all... strange..
But yea.. no flashmode... Nothing showing up when connecting the USB cable... nothing in device manager..and therefore flashtool sees nothing!
SOLVED
Problem solved! I can't believe it. Two bad(?) USB cables. Bought a new one, charges fine, flashmode fine. Flashed stock ROM.
However the Camera still doesn't work. Maybe the problem of the cable inside which may have come loose!
I've been booting LibreELEC/CoreELEC from SD card on my AZW (Beelink) W95 (S905W) box for years now. Yesterday I tried booting into the stock Android system (7.1 I think- I haven't done it for a while) but it wouldn't boot. Not being one to leave well enough alone I decided to try a reset using a toothpick in the reset hole by the power plug. It flashed the start screen for a split second and then stopped. After that it wouldn't boot off the CoreELEC SD card either.
I've tried a clean CoreELEC install, stock firmware, Amlogic Burn Card Maker, and TWRP on the SD card - none of them get me past a black screen.
I don't think the reset button is doing anything (I depress it while plugging in the power jack). In fact, I don't know if it ever worked. My box had previously always booted off a SD card if it was inserted in the slot without having to do anything special.
My box isn't completely dead but comatose. The signs of life are:
1) The blue LED comes on when I plug in the power cord.
2) After about 20 minutes or so the blue LED will go off. If I press the power button on the remote it comes back on.
3) My router sees it on my network as active. But I get connection refused when I try access it using Windows File Explorer or try to SSH into it using Putty.
4) When I insert a SD card into the slot it writes Andriod and LOST.DIR folders to it.
I haven't tried the Amlogic USB Burning Tool yet because I don't have an USB 2.0 Type A male to male cable - but I've ordered one. My concern is I won't be able to put it in reset mode since I'm not sure the reset button does anything (but I can feel it click).
Is there anything else I should try while I'm waiting for my cable to arrive?
Any recommendations on how I should proceed once my cable arrives?
Thanks

Hi, your device seems to be in a strange state currently, only thing i can reccomend is trying a few firmwares to see what works for you, you should be able to flash most s905w based roms, if your device cant be detected by USB burn tool you might need to use ask Rom Mode" to force your box to be detected by burn tool, this makes it almost impossible to brick a box
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm a complete newbie at this.
Is the Ask ROM Mode an option in USB Burning Tool?
I have an OEM W95 firmware update file (in both .img and and an OTA in .zip format) but they may be older than what is currently on the box. I also found a TWRP file for the S905W. But I don't know how to use any of these.
I downloaded the AMLogic Tools 6.0.0 and tried the AMLogic Flash Tool since it seems to work through the Ethernet port. I assumed this because you access the box via an IP address but I really don't know. I watched the video but couldn't find any detailed instructions on how to use it.
When I pressed the Connect button it said it connected and I had the green Connected display (I was connecting through my LAN - I don't know if I should connect directly with an ethernet cable). I loaded my .img file and said Flash. It says it is flashing and a second or so later it says SUCCESS! However the box still doesn't boot. I tried both Boot and Recovery (I don't know which option I should choose). I think that the SUCCESS! message is incorrect since I get the message even if I press the Flash button without the box connected. However, I can't connect to the box without the ethernet cable connected so the connected message seems correct.
Am I using the AMLogic Flash Tool correctly?
I was thinking about trying the S905W atvExperience ROM but thought I'd wait until I got my USB cable before before doing something more drastic.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
OK, so my male to male USB cable arrived and I managed to get my box un-bricked using AMLogic USB Burning tool with a factory .img file. It took several tries. I kept getting errors when it tried to erase the bootloader or would get to 7%, progress would stop for about a minute, and then Burning Tool would close.
I finally got it to proceed all the way by holding in the reset button, plugging in the USB cable (no power cable), and keeping the reset button pushed the whole time (I don't know if this was just a coincidence). Also, I hadn't closed Burning Tool after the previous error erasing the bootloader. I'm posting all this in case someone else has a similar problem.
After that, it still wouldn't boot of the CoreELEC SD card with the reset button pushed down. It would go straight into the Android OS. I got it to boot into CoreELEC by installing the Reboot to LibreELEC app. Now it always restarts in CoreELEC the way it used to when the SD card is left in. I think this is how I got LibreELEC working years ago.
So, now I'm contemplating installing atvXperience but I have a couple of questions:
What would be the best way to install atvXperience without being able to the reset button to put the box into recovery mode?
What would be the best way to prepare for not being able to use the reset button to put the box into recovery mode if something were to go wrong during flashing?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for any help.
Another follow up post for anyone with the same problem. I did some searching and found out I'm not the only one with a box that the reset button doesn't work. A work around for them was to connect the male to male USB cable, load the image into Burning Tool, press Start, and then plug in the power supply. The image file would then start flashing.
However, my box would start booting as soon as I connected the USB cable (didn't need the power supply). So I loaded the image into Burning Tool, pressed Start, and then connected the USB cable. This appears to be the work around for my box (I probably did this when I got my box to recover the first time - holding the reset button was probably irrelevant).
This procedure works for the stock firmware but when I try to flash the atvXperience image file the box hangs at 7%. So I still need some help there.
Also, is there a ATV ROM better suited for my S905W box (2/16 GB)?
W95 is really ****ing box whenever you feel you get off from the current problem will be into next one.
I have installed atvx Rom but afterthat when I tried adian rom my device bricked.
Without Ubt flashing it's connect but as I start flash it's sound unknown device and give flash error
Hi,
T95Q TV box keeps rebooting so I am trying to install poison rom to solve this.
The problem is that the usb burning tool v3.1.0 does not detect the box. Since the AV button of the box is broken, I am trying to reboot to recovery mode with Quick Reboot app (I do not know if this is the same with the recovery button).
The procedure I follow is to connect tv box to PC (Windows 10 in test mode) via usb and reboot to recovery mode with Quick Reboot app. TV box is not detected.
Any ideas?

ok so you have a few options, your 1st is to try shorting the contackt where the button was (baisically instead of button you just bridge the gap) ot if you dont have any pads left (maybe broke off with button) then your other option is mask rom mode (by shorting 2 pins usally on your nand/emmc chip while connecting USB)
