Dead SPV M600 / Charger Shorting question

Hello all, your forum is very useful and full of dedicated people.
I am sorry if my question is redundant, I know there has been threads about this topic already (like here) but I can't get the things described to work for me so my last resort is to start a thread of my own. Plus I think it might help others trying to get their M600/Prophet back on tracks.
Here is what happened with mine : an flash went wrong (error on the computer, stuck at 80% for a long long time (i mean long, not the usual few minutes we all know of)). So I had to unplug the whole thing and reset it. It went into the bootloader (3 colors screen) ok after the reset with USB written in the bottom left corner when plugged in. But (for no real l reason) I tried to reforce it in bootloader mode with Camera + Reset and from this point on, it never booted again, never reacted to any manpipulation (Power + Reset, Power long, Camera + Reset), it doesnt even has the LED on when the wall charger is plugged in.
I searched the forum and found links like the one reported earlier in this post or this one here
So I tried those but can't get it to work cus I don't really think i understand what to do :
Here is what i did :
I plugged the cut wall charger that now looks like this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this :
now when it's said to connect the charger direcly to the pins are we talking about those pins ? and if yes, which one are the 1 and 5 ? the red ones or the green ones ? I know the white wire (+) has to go on the 1st pin but I dont know which one is the 1st.
plus, do i have to connect the wires to those pins while the battery is also plugged in or when the battery is out ? Or even with another charger plugged in?
Once the manipulation is done, do I put the batter back in and it should start ok directly in bootloader mode ? Or do i need to plug it back into the wall so that it does.
Anyways, as you can see that shorting manipulation is really unclear to me and I did not manage to make it work.
If anyone could shed some light on this one, that would really help me out and I am sure it would help others as well.
Thx in advance for your answers.

hello i was trying out
ROM-MTD-TWRP-ICS-4.x-Audiophile and everything was going good so far, but i wanted to flash another rom an i forgot i was using a mtd rom, so i flashed another rom (dont remember the name) and now all i get is the sgs4g logo and team acid logo, thats it . any suggestions??

Don't forget to thank Lumin for the guide and Bhundven for the One Clicks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2

thank you so much, but it turns out that my phone is not being recognized, i tried using windows xp, windows 7 but it wont recognize my phone and i even tried to buy a different cable but it doesnt work.:crying:

Uninstall all drivers, if your phone is not recognized, it can also be named as Gadget.
Read this post I posted on Lumins thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31040604&postcount=207

thanks, now my phone is being recognized by my computer under the name ( galaxy s4g interface 1). the problem is i tried getting the download mode with the three - button technique and it doesnt work, i even tried to use a usb jig, but i got nothing. my pc recognizes the device when its on, but when its charging i get the ( do not recognize) message. zadig recognizes the device when its on but heimdall doesnt

"I got nothing" You couldn't get into download mode, or your computer doesn't recognize the phone?
If the latter, (and you probably should anyways) I would clean up your computer by uninstalling Kies, the drivers, and start fresh with the phone in download mode before selecting drivers. The device manager in Windows might help (right-click on "Computer" and select Manage, when the window opens, click on Device Manager in the upper left pane, as I recall)
(or just give in and go with Ubuntu )
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

when i turn my phone of and use my usb jig, download mode doesnt work. when my phone is off and im trying to charge it with my computer using my usb, my pc says (usb not recognize)

try putting the usb cabel tightly in the phone

he is a video i made explaining my problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSrRP12yrMg&feature=youtu.be

You have to plug a cable from the pc into the jig. I think.
Or when you plug into pc the phone must be off with volume buttons held down.

i've tried that a couple of times but the the phone starts charging when i do that

Also. The back of your phone looks different. I dunno maybe you got a bigger battery or something but it doesn't look like a galaxy s 4g. Maybe a blaze or a vibrant

djmxp can you please show us your device model, not device name, device MODEL.

Ya looks like a vibrant to me at 1:19 into the video when you see the back, it has the full back, textured finish,

GALAXY S 4G
HIS PHONE
Looks like a vibrant to me. Of course if he flashed the bootloader, the screen is going to say 959V GALAXY S 4G like it does earlier in the video, but I think you flashed the wrong ROM and bootloader for the wrong phone.

It sort of looks like your pictures but he has a full glossed back.

That was a stock photo from a cellphone spec site. Here's a VIBRANT photo in real life. Looks pretty glossy.

[SOLVED] Nexus 5 USB Connectivity Problem

I'm having a pretty strange issue with my Nexus 5 in that it no longer shows up on my Windows 7 desktop or Windows 8 laptop (both of which worked perfectly before).
I don't just mean that I can't see it in "My Computer", but it literally shows up nowhere. Not in the device manager (not even as Asus/Acer or any other funky name)... there's just no trace of it.
It doesn't show up on "adb devices" whether booted into the ROM (CM11) or recovery, and it doesn't show up on "fastboot devices" either.
But in spite of all this, it charges via USB without an issue. It almost seems like a hardware issue of some kind, but I'm hoping it isn't.
If anyone has experienced something similar or could offer any suggestions that would be great.
Thanks.

If it's on multiple computers, it's either your phone USB port or the cable. Have you tried another cable?

I used different cables as the two computers are in different locations. So looks like the phone is busted... but I'm baffled as to how this would suddenly happen, especially since it charges without a problem.

It isn't busted, the drivers have gone mad... Follow THIS guide, and it'll fix it. I had the same issue as did some other people.
Even though your's isn't showing as another device, it'll be there somewhere hidden.

So his drivers busted on 2 separate computers in different locations simultaneously? It sounds unlikely.

Mine didn't show up on my Desktop or Laptop randomly either, on two out of three Nexus devices. A random anomaly.
EDIT: It's possible Windows updates have done it. I've had a few on both machines lately also.

@radicalisto, thanks for your suggestions. The problem is that there is nothing appearing in the device manager at all that I can use to install drivers. At least not on my Windows 7 desktop.
I'm going to check again on Win 8.1 (laptop) when I get home this evening, but from what I remember when I checked over the weekend, there was no joy there either.

I managed to force-install the Google USB drivers for "Android ADB Interface" and "Android Composite ADB Interface" (which are the ones I always used before), and this is what I get for both of them:

OP, did you find a solution? I'm having the exact same problem.

install Wugfresh's nexus root toolkit, follow the instructions on the "full driver installation guide"

i guess its the micro usb port at fault though its charging theres a possibilty thats its gone bad

I tried that! But when I plug the device, absolutely nothing happens. No device is detected. The phone simply starts charging as if it was connected to a wall charger.

Thanks for all the responses guys, I have come to the conclusion the port is faulty. I took the phone apart and reseated all the ribbon cables, cleaned out the inside of the USB port with a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol, and when I turned it back on and plugged it in, I successfully got a USB connection -- for about 30 seconds! After that it stopped working again, and sometimes would show up on my PC as a malfunctioned USB device. Charging still works fine, and the USB device did work for 30 seconds (so that pretty much rules out it being a motherboard problem) so I'm pretty sure it's a port issue.
I'm going to buy a replacement USB port one of these days (available on eBay, Amazon, etc) and replace it and see if that works. I will report back when I eventually do (not for at least a few weeks though).
In the meantime if anyone else wants to try to do it themselves also, here is a really nice video guide:

Quick update: I think I managed to fix it... so far it's been working for a few minutes even with jiggling the plug around.
How? By using a needle. First I want to add a disclaimer that using a metal needle probably isn't the best idea since obviously it can lead to short circuiting inside the device (use a plastic or wooden toothpick instead, to be safe). I used the needle tip to scrape each individual metal contact terminal inside the USB port. I had to do this quite a few times for each port before it started working, so I'm guessing a very stubborn piece of grime or dirt somehow got in the way of one or more of the terminals, which blocked the plug connecting with the port properly.
Anyway, for you guys having the same problem, give it a try. Metal would obviously be the best choice in terms of the amount of force you can scrape with but to be safe, choose plastic, since it probably won't bend and fray like a wooden one.

Usb conection problems - nothing helps

Hi,
i cant connect to my phone normally via usb. System windows 10 says "USB device not recognized". I know its a poplar problem and many solutions is on the internet but for me no one solution work. Only way to connect my phone is via wifi debuging via android studio. Maybe someone know that one more solution that can help me ? Is there any chance is that phone problem? I tried difrent cables, computers ... nothing. pls help

Did you install the right drivers?
Make sure you're using a usb data cable (like the original one included with the phone)
Try different USB ports on your computer.
Make sure you've set your pixel to "Data transfer on USB connection".

I'll repeat the last point again, because it's probably the solution to your problem:
Make sure to set your pixel to file transfer when you plug in the phone to the pc. Most people say that the pixel defaults to "no file transfer" or just "charging". That isn't any good for you, as you want to transfer files. Once your phone is connected to your computer, swipe down to your notification shade, and you should see a normal or silent notification that has to do with the USB connection. If you have usb debugging enabled, it will also show another notification for that. Click on the one for the usb connection. It will open a menu, here you must select "File transfer". You might have to do this every time your connect your phone. Some phones have an option to change the default setting in developer options.
Hope I helped!
If I solved your problem, please mark this post as the solution, to help out other users.

Yes i have a correct drivers and cable but windows said that its not drivers for it. After plug usb in android what it must do after connection is all blured.

Would have preffered it if the image was in english, oh well.
try selecting the option on the top and seeing if windows can get any drivers for it.
if you've got no luck, then install the drivers manually.

When i try this first option (USB stering by conected device) it says "Cannot connect"
I try instal manually but dont work. For windows this is not a mobile device.

I have a pixel 4a that took a quick swim. The USB port allows charging but not data.
It's probably not the same thing you are seeing, since it literally doesn't show up as a port to either the phone or the PC.

I wasnt have any water conection or damage. I dont know what it could be. Do you think its a port problem? Windows sees some device but wont select good driver for it. I can't do it even when i pick exactly driver for it. Its frustrating that i watched video's that says " its Simple and now lets do this or that" and of course i have biger problem with it. Like i said i have connection VIA android studio. Maybe is there any file that i can put to Pixel for better recognization ?

Try using an installer for installing its drivers, rather than manually installing signed/unsigned drivers in device manager.

I don't understand. How can i install driver other than in device manager ? I do install drivers by Android studio too. I can see that even my external mic (Blue yeti with usb c adapter) is not visible for pixel. I tried too with external memory and it works fine. is there any chance that is faulty usb port?
Please let me know what do you mean with installer. Thanks for responses.
edit. I tried also with forcing in developer options usb connects to media files transfer. dont work

A bit off that NOTHING works, could be a faulty port. Bring it to a service centre or a repair shop if a service centre isnt easily accessbile for you.

Can you rule out that it is a Windows problem with your specific Pixel 4a device by simply starting a bootable Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) from a USB flash drive and trying the connection there?

Ah ... tried to open pixel, and for no reason screen dies. Opened it gently with no breaks but now have litle flickers. I bought Nord 2. I see in auction in Poland one more person have usb problem so i guess its finally port problem (this module). Thanks for all responses and help.

Question Triying to revive a black screen SM-R890

Hi, this is the first time i post, I'm a newby and just want to start experimenting with these devices.
I have a Samsung Galaxy watch 4 classic (SM-R890) with a faulty back button, so i bougth a dead watch on ebay to change the buttons and now I want to see if i'm able to bring life back to the ebay bircked watch.
The screenof the bricked device wotks fine (Just tested the screen on my good watch) and also the battery hold charge.
Pressing the two butons while charging doesn't work, (it was the first thing I tried as soon as I get the watch from ebay)
after reading some post here, I tried to connect to the this pins on the bottom of the main board in order to stablish a usb connection

the soldering is not pretty but it works. (also the photo was taked before cleaning the board)
pin order is as follow
5v | Not conected | green | white | gnd
also there is no bridge between the pads, I just tested that with a multimeter.
after installing the samsung usb driver and connected the cable, I saw for and instant the message saying "installing exynos driver" or some messages like that, but after that nothing.....
Now it sound like when you plug a usb device and after a few seconds it sounds like when you discconet the device. but it doesn´t show on device managen neither in odin software.
to "force the connection" on windows I have to press the ON button on the watch and it sound like connecting an usb device again.
i've also tested on linux with "./odin4 -l" command but also no luck.
I just want to know if i'm missing some crucial step in order to connect the watch to the pc via usb.
Hope you can help me bringing back life to this watch.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but the problem is that i can't stablish comunication between the watch and the pc. is there something I can do?
Here's a video showing what happend when i connect the usb cable to the pc on winldows. on linux is the same thing, can't see the device using lsusb command.
when I connect the usb cable I can hear the connecting sound on windows, but after a few seconds it sounds like it disconnects, then I press the red button on the watch and it sounds like connecting again but not for long, I repeat this process a few times and that's why those sounds repeats in the video.
