I have been running the deepshining 3 Rom for a long time on my Titan. I just upgraded two days ago to Deepshining 4. Now my phone will not charge from PC USB and will not communicate with the PC either. This is true of my wife's PC as well. The phone will charge while plugged into the wall. So I have no way to go back to version 3 which was very stable.
Question: At this point, what would happen if I just hit the ""Reset Phone" button at this point? Would it go back to Deepshining 3? Or brick it? I know I can go back to ground zero and re-HSPL it again. I did a phone back-up with the Xap Windows Phone Backup. Without the cable to PC, is there a way to get it back on the phone?
Thanks a cool million for you help everyone!

The beauty of custom flashing a windows phone is how incredibly easy it is to flash; simply go back and re-flash the device, if the problem persists then you have your answer assuming the USB connection works to start with.

Thanks for your reply! I don't know what happened to get it that way. But to get it right I first did a hard reset. Then once it was back, I had to restart it a couple of times. Now everything is back to normal and I'm at v.4 where I wanted to get to. This hobby- Er.. Way of life has its days. But I wouldn't want to goo back to plain ole vanilla.

I'm having a some-what weird issue.
I flashed Simply Honey with the GB bootloaders some time ago and have since wanted to go back to MIUI on my brothers phone.
I ODIN'ed back to stock, JFD, and used ODIN to flash the Froyo bootloaders again. Now the phone seems to work fine, but when plugging in power sources, the phone cuts off.
Does anyone know why this may be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Little update:
I have narrowed it down to not being the OS (ROM). I just installed Bionix 1.3 to change the file partition. When I plug the power source in (USB or AC) the phone cuts itself off.
Bootloaders?
You can flash any miui rom out there with gb bootloaders....i know they say must have froyo bootloaders but ive been flashing miui roms with gb bootloaders for several months....absolutely no issues......i dont really understand why they make a fuss over it
I have and usb issues are the main prob. My phone runs roms fine but will not be recognized by p.c. this may not be your immediate prob, mine started slow
and these glitches snowball, ive tried evey driver on the net and sdk hasnt heped, if anyone else has found a fix im all ears, miui related.
did you use odin flashable gb bootloaders from the dev, section, and flash back?
Quit looking at software issues... it sounds like your usb is shorting
Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
thx your prbly right, my jtag will get me to download, usb cable wont, however there are no signs, usb cable never leaves the house, shiny. phone, kid gloves. hopin its software but this is a replacement phone, prbly had usb issues b4.
ooops jtag just boots, man its the phone, ebay or sg2, assurion wont give me a vib. and im waitin for the prime , ill stay on MIUI. keep my vibrant. Really unti cm9 is ported to MIUI first Itl come through rom manager, dont need my pc till then.
20 hrs later for no reason plugged in usb same bubble "not recognized', bloop "new hardware detected vibrant' didnt breath, directed wizard to sdk, browse and it installed, getting a new usb cable, thats still probly the prob, but damn,
so about 2 weks ago i did the ota update to android 3.2. ever since then my tab has been acting crazy. it wont recognize charging unless i restart it plugged in. it will say mtp connected plugged in or not to usb. if plugged in the wall i cant turn it off it just boots itself back up. im trying to root but i cant get this thing to do SH*T. ive re installed drivers multiple times and if i go to device manager it wont show tab. any help would be great guys and gals
im running the ota update 3.2 for a few weeks now, no issues really other then a few tweaks I did to make the device fasters, I would suggest doing a factory reset via the settings menu, backup yer data first!! as for the drivers, the fastest way to get them to work is to install kies for galaxy tab, google it...my galaxy tab 10.1 is actually rooted, overclocked, and running a custom kernel...so its pretty fast, but even with all stock I have not had the problems you are talking about.

Well now I'm rooted running ics rom and over clocked, but my tab for whatever reason doesn't recognize being plugged in USB or ac. It did this prior to root but after 3.2 update. Like right now it says 3% battery and I need to plug it up. Problem is that its currently plugged in to AC charger. I can get it to sometimes recognize the plug if I restart it multiple times with plug in. If I power off then plug in it automatically powers up.
I just restarted while plugged in AC and it now says battery at 100% lol this thing is nuts.
Sell it to a developer really cheap, do a warranty exchange, ODIN back to stock and repeat.... I assume drivers on the PC are not the issue.
Yeah the PC drivers are fine. I really don't want to sell it or have to do the warranty exchange. If I send it back I'll have to unroot. Not to mention not having it for a while.
^ then keep pulling your hair out
Honestly, I understand. Also hate when people send devices in for warranty stuff.... but your issue sounds legit. I would be concerned if there was an issue with the charging port long-term.
ok so they said they would fix it but im trying to unroot and i need the stock recovery i downloaded the zip files for dummies and tied to use odin3 to flash the stock recovery that cam in the zip but it keeps failing.
so i just kept restarting into download mode and it finally worked
now that i have it unrooted its on 3.1 i need it on 3.2 before i send it back. i tried to do the update from the tab but it did one update but not for android 3.2.
So Im probably gonna send my tab back tomorrow. Do you guys think they will give me crap because my tabs now on 3.1 when I complained about an issue after update to 3.2?

If the issue is still happening, then no because its a hardware issue. Root or 3.2 didnt break it as the ODIN proved. Silly question, but you did try a different cable? And unless 3.2 changed something, only pershoots kernel allows for actual USB charging, stock TWUX never supported it. Only accepted a 2amp 3.7v on the correct cable (power wires are switched or something).

no i didnt try another cable and for me to run odin i had to restart the tab many times and when its plugged in the wall sometimes it recognizes and sometimes not when i plug in usb it wont mount storage or even to kies like the tab will show connected but the computer wont recognize tried all usb ports. i figured they might ask how i got it to 3.1 after doing the update without rooting i put stock recovery back on also to completely go back stock

Definately sounds like a cable or 30 pin port issue. I will mention that Samsung has always been cheap with their cables on their phones anyway, but I haven't had an issue with the tabs. Onboard USB ports are the only ones I trust. Too many issues with front panel ports in the past with ODIN. I wouldn't worry about 3.1 vs 3.2 though. Of course you could always put 3.2 back on, I think there is an ODINable 3.2 around somewhere, but its been a while since I looked. Send it back, or try a different cable.

Got the tab back and rooted again with ics rom. Ended up replacing 30 pin port.

I have a Fascinate that no longer connects to USB. It's a physical port problem. My company had a spare, so I've been able to swap it out and restore all of my apps/data to the other Fascinate, and I'm back up and running on AOKP M6. I'd like to try to get what is now 'the new spare' (the one with the bad USB port) back to the latest stock build.
Sooooo.....
I can't connect the phone to a PC with USB to get into Odin. If I could, I would have had it reverted in a couple of minutes. To be fair, if I could, I wouldn't have actually needed to swap the phone in the first place. I've searched as much as I can, and haven't been able to find if there's a way to flash through recovery from an MTD-based ROM back to stock EH03. Anyone know if this is even possible?
And to cover any of the 'are you sure the USB port is bad' questions, the phone was tested, along with 2 other Fascinates, side-by-side on the same ROM version, with 7 different USB cables (3 official 'Samsung' cables) and 4 different computers. The other two connected fine in both mass storage mode while booted into the ROM and in download mode on each of the PC's and with each cable. This particular one would not detect no matter what. Strange thing is, it charges just fine.
I think you might be pooched and have to jiggle it or whatever to see if you can get it to take, although you have most likely tried that. If you have to return the phone back to them and you don't want them to know you flashed the rims, you might just boot loop the phone so it only shows the Samsung logo and then they might not be able to find out.

Actually, boot looping is my "point of no return". And yes, I even tried holding the USB cable halfway in while facing a northeasterly direction and simultaneously having a medieval wizard cast enchantments on it, still didn't work. I had high hopes, too.
The closest you will get is a ROM called Superclean3, but you might brick your phone flashing from BML to MTD.
All,
I have to say thanks for the help in advance, well I'm in the military and I have never done anything to my G-tablet. All I used it for was to OOVOO and talk with my kids when I am in the DESERT Guys over there are always doing crazy stuff to theirs and crazy stuff always happens to them, some good some bad. :cyclops: Well here it goes my brother-in-law took my tablet without my knowledge and decided he would upgrade me to a better system :crying::crying::crying::crying: well he killed it!!!!!!! and I leave to go back to the desert in a week or so. He says something must of been wrong with it before he touched it, yeah likely story!!! it worked fine when I used it last. I have to say I have little knowledge on how to do things to this tablet IE rooting roms and all of that stuff, not saying I'm not willing to learn just very dumb when it comes to doing it. I'm one of those give it to me step by step by step
So this is what I have done so far
1. I plug it in to my Computer Windows Vista Home premium 64 bit system and it does not recognize it.
2. I opened it up and have disconnected the internal battery cord and plugged it back in still no life
3. I pressed the little white button and no reset happened
4. Held down the power button and down sound button and (3 birds ViewSonic - Detect a recovery key pressed - Booting recovery kernel image) popped up then nothing it just sits like that.
5. I have also let the battery completely drain to zero then charge it back up and still nothing.
Please help me and I'm sorry if I've been rambling on but talking to my kids when I'm deployed is the only thing I look forward to doing when I'm in the desert, Once again I would like to thank the smart guys on this forum for helping us not sooooo smart ones with our problems.

1.- Try other windows version, works fine on Windows 7 x32 / x64 - tested my self
3.- wich white reset button? i never saw it !
4.- You tried POWER+VOLUME (+)? - POWER+VOLUME(-)?(this its for nvflash as far i know, im also a begginer)
Your tab is not dead, but it is not properly flashed either. If you hold power and Vol UP and it shows booting recovery but doesnt boot it, then there is a bad recovery flashed, or none at all. To fix this, you will have to NVFLASH a recovery/OS on it. There are better than stock OS's but since you need it for webchating with family I would suggest Frankentab.
Download this file:
http://teamdrh.com/DRH-Downloads/Full_Stock_NVFlash_CWM_5504_Touch.zip
Then extract it somewhere you can find it.
Using a usb Male to usb mini cable, the one that came with your tablet, plug your tab into your computer (tab turned off)
Hold down the VOL DOWN button and press power button and hold it too. The three birds should pop up, then go away, black screen.
After black screen, computer will say found new hardware. You must manually choose the drivers needed, and their location will be in a folder titled "flash usb drivers" and it is inside the folder you downloaded and extracted.
After the drivers are installed, without turning anything off, run the file nvflash_gtablet.bat which is inside the extracted folder you downloaded. This will take a while, but once it is done, you can turn off and turn back on your tablet. After a few minutes, it should completely boot back into a stock ROM.
If you are cool with this, then you are done. If you would like to run something MUCH FASTER then let me know when you get to this point and I will show you how to accomplish this. If you run into any problems report back and I or someone will help.
Just had this problem on a new (well refurbished) gTab I got during black Friday. Works great and is not hard to fix the issue once in APX. hardest part was getting the drivers installed (running win 7 x64).
I had to go to the CWM page to download the correct version of the recovery, the version listed in the guide is outdated, or not listed that it is for 1.1 only and not 1.2.
Seems like a great tablet, can't wait to get using it. Thanks!

do you remember where you downloaded the right recovery version for windows 7 ?
Hi guys/gals,
I've been passed a Nokia 710 by a friend of mine. She managed to drop it in a bowl of water at work and has been refused a fix under warranty (not surprising). This was a few weeks ago, so the phone is fully dried out. It boots up, makes the start-up sounds and the three buttons on the front work, but the screen is totally blank - although touch-screen response seems to work still.
I have installed Zune, but whenever I connect the phone I get "Phone setup incomplete" and a message to disconnect the phone and complete the remaining steps on the phone. Without a screen to see I have no idea what I should be doing.
Is there a simple solution to this, or is there some way of connecting to the internal memory to recover the data from it some other way?

How did she do that, I don't think you can recover the data from your phone, Zune is giving you an update error which means that the update isn't intalled completly.
What you can do, but you had to do that a lot earlier, is to put the phone in a bowl of rice (not water ) and wait a few days, that's the only thing I can think about at the moment.
Succes,

She had the phone in her pocket when she bent over. I think the problem may be down to a key-lock on the phone which needs to be entered first, but am waiting for her to get back to me.
Thanks for the help though, I didn't expect much else.

Plug it into a Linux machine and copy direct from the phone as any other USB flash drive would work
Or uninstall Zune and use the reg hack to allow that to be done in windows

Fantastic, thank you. Following the link you posted also took me to another site USB Storage Enabler for Windows Phones 7 which might be useful for anyone else coming up against this in the future, or simply wanting to use their device as a USB drive, not requiring Zune.

I think the phone is reset entirely..
and the reason you couldn't connect to zune is because you haven't completed the initial boot procedures...
There are many ways to get your phone started...
But I don't think its of any use unless, you have your screen working..
