i picked it up used with stock rom, no mods. i rooted, then installed nero v3 with voodoo and then v5 with voodoo.... then i tried a custom battery mod and it screwed my phone up... cant get past the vibrant start screen, cant read the ext sd and the phone drivers will not work... computer detects it, but no drivers are installed. i have used the 32 bit driver 64 bit drivers, kies, kies mini, odin v1 and v1.7, still nothing... i can get into cwm recovery, but only with voodoo enabled, and can get into download mode, but i cant seem to get the computer to read it. have used 4 different computer, win 7 and 32 bit xp....also have tried drivers with pdanet and easy tether, but still no luck... can you offer any help to me??? thanks in advance.
as of u have done so much and nothing helped i would cry , and for not readin on how to unbrick your phone right on top of the forum you should cry too .
and if look good enough every 3rd thread that is made is how to unbrick the phone
@bartek
OK...OMG dude... you had like 5 posts 3 days ago...how are you helping this individual out other then giving him all your illegible ramblings that you are posting and ridiculing individuals as you go .. I'm sry, I don't mean to rant but damn...
Anyway OP, your just soft bricked. If you can get into d/l mode then I would either go ahead and ODIN back or if you can get into CWM recovery and you still have Nero 5 in your root, I would just reflash it and it should take care of it...enable voodoo when you flash Nero 5 ..you should be ok.
First off, I have been searching the forums for almost two weeks now and cannot find a solution....I have tried everything......the first problem is that no matter what drivers I use, the computer still says usb device not recognized, so I cannot get odin or heimdall to communicate, neither kies or kies mini.....
Well, now I turned it on this morning and I cannot get into cwm or dload mode.....just keeps bootlooping and linda talks and says riskful operation, then reboots......I am lost, don't know what else to do, I'm gonna throw this phone out the window

I gotcha.... not to sound like an idiot but have you tried a different usb port? If your using one on the front, try ones in the back if your on a desktop.. if that doesnt work try running ODIN in XP SP3 compatibility mode

I think he's saying that odin doesn't detect his phone and therefore doesn't light up yellow. Happened to me too. I'm on the epic. I tried everything. But odin finally found my device. Try different usb ports, a different wire, reboot both phone and pc. Switch between usb debugging on and off. Try it with sideloading enabled and not. I eventually found a combimation that worked. These phones are fickle. It'll work eventually.

As far as I know, ODIN wont recognize your phone without being in download mode and drivers installed on your computer.

No I believe you need the correct drivers installed. At this point either your missing something or don't have the correct driver to install. Maybe someone can point out where all the proper drives are for you to download
speachless ....if u wont follow what i wrote im helpless.goodbye. and why u turning your phone on dude download mode is battery out phone connected to ANY usb port hold vol up vol down hold all time and puit battery in
if that doesent help your phones usb is **** or the cable is ****
btw, i have tried installing all the proper driver from the proper threads... 32 bit, 64 bit, ive tried kies and kies mini for vibrant, heimdall drivers also.... NOTHING WORKS...
i appreciate everones help... thank you.
This is what I do to get it working. I open odin first and load all the needed files.
I then plug the usb cord into the usb first before plugging it into the phone.
with odin open and the phone completely off. I hold down the volume rocker and plug in the usb. I get download mode to work almost everytime.
For me the stock cable I got with mine doesnt work. I have to use a different cord or it acts like it doesnt see my phone.
Hi
Sorry to bother, but i just got a new Star B92M but im having a rough time trying to update it and flash it with SP Flash Tool
So far, i have tried this
To flash with the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01 (i get BROM 3013 error)
To flash with the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.0.sn85 ( i get the 8038 error)
I have tried to run each of them as administrator
I have tried to click on Firmware-> Upgrade as someone suggested on a post
I have installed the preloader drivers
I have tried by taking our the battery and plugging in then put the battery on
But i havent been able to flash it. The phone is not bricked, it runs as nothing has happened, i do think although, that recovery is messed after so many tries since there is the red triangle when i try it.
I dont know if it is normal, but everytime i plug the phone when its off for flashing, is like it gets connected by usb for 2 seconds then disconnected, but its weird because when the phone is on, the usb works like charms, no problems on computer ports either or the usb cable, it just happens when i connect it when the phone is off (preloader i guess), yet i have installed the proper drivers read in many tutorials
Is there any other way to flash it? or any solution to this problem? Sorry for the bad english
Thanks in advance.
Hi all...
I received my THL W100 yesterday from an italian reseller... I ordered it already rooted and it arrived directly fron Hong Kong with the latest firmware 130711 and prerooted with Superuser (I checked it with root checker and it's effectively rooted...).
It also has it's own recovery pre installed (when I enter the recovery mode with pover+volume up it appears an "android recovery"...)...
I wanted to flash a different recovery (the Barry63 recovery) and so proceeded with installing in one of my four pc (running win XP SP3) the drivers I founf inside the Ro.edi package... after this, I turned off my phone, disassembled the battery, put the usb cable both on my phone and on my pc and finally inserted the battery... I hear the tipical sound played when you put a new USB device in a computer and immediately after (a secondo or so...) a second sound tipical of when you disconnect your USB device... all in all my phone automatically disconnects and this results in a "non installation" of the Mediatek USB preloader I neeed to use the SPFlashtool...
I tried on anoter pc of mines, running Win XP (a modded version) and got the same result...
I also tried another pc running Win7 Home Premium , forced the installation of the Mediatek USB preloader via the "hdwwiz" method, put the usb cable in both the phone and the pc, re-connected the battery and... it recognizes the new device, starts to install the Mediatek USB preloader, but after some seconds it says "device diconnected"....
Same issue on the fourth and last pc of mine running Win 7 starter...
It's like my phone has something in the firmware (root?Recovery?) that doesn't allow me to install the Mediatek USB preloader...
Any idea about it ?
My phone works perfectly, the pc recognizes it both as USB archive and USB debug... I can do almost all the things I want (the phone is rooted and so I installed all the apks I wanted, included the MobileUncleTools... but I can not use the SPFlash tool as I can not install the MediaTek USB preloader... :crying:
Thank you in advance for you precious answers...

Yes... it was enabled...
Anyway I solved the problem... I discovered that what it happened to my phone is the "supposed to be" for that driver... in fact, after launching SPFlashtool and press dowload, when you plug in the battery on the phone SPFlash recognize the phone and starts flashing the right way.
Finally I succeeded in it and flashed the Barry6030 recovery. :laugh:
Thank you :good:

Hi guys, I am using sony xperia U (st251, Android 2.3.7, kernel version 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#1). my phone is not detectible by any computer (used different laptop and PCs) . I tried with win 7, win 8 and win 8.1 with different cables. Phone is not staying in fastboot and flashmode green light appears for a second or two and it goes for charging. I used flashtool installed and phone driver (which is available in the driver folder of the flashtool) fastboot, and flash mode drivers are installed properly..but no luck yet. I tried removing the battery and connect the phone and then insert the battery. i used volume down and power button for flash mode and volume up and power button for recovery nothing is working, even hard reset is not possible with keys.
When phone completely drained out of battery, charging is only possible with usb cable not through AV....plz help me

Hi everyone,
I have an SII GT- I9100 that I installed a custom ROM on a while back (probably 2 years ago). After a while it got badly bricked I don't remember what happened, and not only that
the charging port was also messed up so I couldn't connect it to my pc (pc wouldn't recognize it unless I held the cable in with force, but even that didn't work after some time).
It's been sitting on a shelf for about a year and I decided to buy a new charging port, replace it, unbrick it and give it to my mom.
I did replace it and I can connect it to my pc now but there's still issues. On my main windows 10 pc it gives me an error "USB device not recognized, the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". (I've reinstalled usb drivers and troubleshooted with Kies).
I keep the phone in download mode while I am trying to connect it to my pc since I can't boot into anything (I have a yellow triangle and Samsung logo if I don't go into download mode).
On my laptop (win 7) I've managed to get windows to install all the drivers(even though it failed a couple times ?), I've also troubleshooted with Kies, still Kies can't connect to it.
I want to restore it to stock ROM but I haven't been successful.
I've tried many different Odin versions, nothing.
I've been trying a stock ROM for the country and network I think it was on(I don't know it for sure, could this be an issue ?), and a set of CSC, MODEM and CODE XXLSJ files.
In all the Odin versions I've tried it gets stuck on NAND write start !! what's going on here?
Is it beyond repair?
btw. I can't get into recovery mode just DL mode.
Thanks in advance!
