I've got no idea what could go wrong.
I've tried to flash S228 with Flash Tool, after that phone briked.
There is a bootloop at lenovo logo at the start.
TWRP starts OK, but when I try to install anything using TWRP i got an error message "Unable to mount /data", "Unable to mount /emmc"
Now when I try to flash anything using Flash Tool computer does not see the phone when I reset it (red button) and plug it using usb cable, so reflash is not possible
please help, any ideas?
solved, sorry for this post.
the problem was broken usb cable.

i have a htc legend with Blayo's 0.8 rom.
for a couple of weeks all works perfect but suddenly one day when i connected the htc to pc with USB cable nothing happened, only started to charge the battery. in the past the phone used to show a menu for choosing what type of connection had to use, but now didn't show anything.
i tried to reinstall HTCSync and the SDK but nothing changes.
i also tried with different usb cables but nothing
it's my legend bricked??
try to change the default connection type in Settings - Connect to PC..
i tried too but nothing changes
Try file expert or alternative, they have samba built in so you can ftp to your phone

yeah i'm Software Data Cable to send and recive files from Legend but if i want to change the rom i can't do it because pc doesn't detect the legend in fastboot and can't enter to recovery

why use cable? It´s so stoneage use wifi, and swiFTP app on your mobile and filezilla ftp on your pc to transfer your files. Then cmw to flash a new rom, you don´t have to be plugged in with your pc for that
Software Data Cable is like swiFTP, i can access my sdcard with filezilla.
the problem is that when i try to access to recovery to flash a new rom a triangle with a red exclamation appears and i have to push recovery from pc. i think that i don't have the recovery installed in my legend or something like that. with Rom Manager doesn't work, the same thing :S

When you get the triangle, have you tried push the volume button up and powerbutton.. ? What does rom manager say, you have installed cmw recovery?
mmmm i will try it! thnx!
EDIT: when i push volume up and powerbutton says: E:Can't oen /cache/recovery/command at the bottom of the screen. in the top a recovery like menu appears with Reboot system, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition :S
NOOB ANSWER TIME:
Dunno if this is correct, but hey, we all learn, eh?
Make sure you have the correct version of CWM as an update.zip in the root of your SD. Then when you press VOL UP + PWR, choose to apply sdcard:update.zip. You'll launch into recovery from there.
oh! thank you! i didn't know that! i can enter into recovery! i want another rom, any recommendation? ( CM7 no please ) i think installing a new rom could fix the problem with the usb!
awww, man. did you try searching first before posting your problem? your phone isn't bricked. what you have is what's called around here as 'usb brick'. now, go here and get bzzzzz...
mm i think i don't have usb brick, because when USB Brick occurs pc can detect the htc in fastboot but i can't so i can't do the steps to fix the problem :S
any idea?
it's possible that the usb connector is broken?
Maybe there are someting wrong with your hardware....You may need to find the Costomer Service....

Next time, don`t use miui, coz bricked you phone and is very ugly
Thanks everyone but it seems there is no way for me to get to ODIN now as the usb is still unfixed. It appears to me that it was from MIUI which doesnt support usb mount.after i flash it to Ics resurrection..everything's fine now except for the usb part :/
Hi!
I have trouble with my S5830i. I bought broken phone who has bootlop at the first screen with logo of samsung and name of phone.
Xrecovery and Download Mode is working but my PC do'nt recognize it. Windows shows samsung like "Unknown Device", i tried every avaiable firmwares, kies, but still doesn't work. I think that problem is with bootloader but I don't know how to fix it?
After launching Xrecovery shows this text:

Check the drivers. make sure you have a good usb cable. sometimes when you are using usb cable other than samsung, the phone is not recognised.

First Delete all preinstall drivers and then connect your phone to PC let wait some time your PC will recognize it Automaticaly then take down your phone into recovery Mode do wipe data/cache then take down into download mode and connect it to PC then Flash the Stock ..
Hope these helps

Hi dude, Just wanna ask how to fix my lenovo a680 boot loop problem. When I enter to the recovery mode there is no "Advance" Option in my stock recovery. Also every time i tried to connect my phone to a laptop/ desktops it disconnects instantly. I tried different usb cables, but the problem still persist. I really don't know what I'm gonna do. I also tried ADB but it wont connect to my phone it says "Error: Devices not found" My only chance on repairing my phone is using a 2gb sd card. Which I also tried. I tried to flash stock rom on it but it says "Installation aborted" There is also a resting robot with a red triangle and an exclamation point on it. Which says " No Command" So if you can help me, that would mean a lot to me. Thanks in advance!
The last way u can do is "Factory Reset" using stock recovery.., hit thanks if I help you..

bootloop? were you trying to root.flash anything? Never mind. flash a custom recovery cwm, twrp of your choice. then,
full wipe from there. and flash lenovo a680 stock firmware from here. this will delete everything.not sure of internal sd card.there are also flash instuctions too. Hope this fix it. After you flash i think you will get your stock recovery back.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED. DON'T FORGET TO HIT THANKS.

Edit: you weren't able to flash from phone because stock recovery can't flash roms.. it can't wipe system partition.
Hi thank you for your suggestion but i tried everything but i can't flash any roms because every time i connect my phone through a laptop or a desktop it disconnects automatically within 3-5 seconds. I also tried flashing rom through an sd card but i get a "Installation aborted" I also tried flashing a recovery but my problem is the disconnection between my phone and my laptop, i tried different cables and sockets but it's still the same. When I tried to use the usb cable to another phone it doesn't disconnect. I also tried using adb but when it's starting to install the zip file it disconnects also. I tried everything.
Hi MicroMonster Thank you for your suggestion but I tried that a thousand times, I've tried clearing the partition and the cache and everything but it doesn't do the job.

Ok, its in your usb connector, its kinda broken, i saw a fix for galaxy S1 woth this problem
You take a toothpick and look inside you micro usb connector and you will se a "tongue", gently push that "tongue" up with a toothpick or anything non-metalic and see if it works
Cheers!!!
