Can't flash ROM : no connection via ActiveSync and bootloader won't work_ HELP

Hi Help me pls,
I've tried to flash my rom via ActiveSync. Every thing went well until i get the progress bar then it got stuck at 0% for ages so i disconnect the whole thing and tried to restart the process.
NOW I CAN'T ACTIVESYNC ANYMORE !!!! but the connection as "memory card reader" still working.
I went through all the post and tried to flash the ROM via bootloader with the "RAPHIMG.nbh" in my SD card ( already formated FAT32 ) but every time the PDA got stuck at the first stage "loading".
HELP ME PLEASE

I have similar problem, can't connect to PC anymore, but flashing with SD card works for me
have you tried different ROM images?

It sounds like you did not carefully read this.
That is also where this should have been posted. A new thread should not be started for this type of issue. I understand you are panicing. However, in almost all situations the phone can be recovered.
That said, Hold volume down and hit the reset button. It will put you in the tricolor screen. In the white it says serial. Connect it to your usb cord. It should now say usb. Now flash the STOCK rom.

be sure that battery over 50% then follow arupphental's

go to bootloader (tricolor on screen)& flash a rom, your PPC 'll be fine. when you flash ROM, PC transfer data through USB to PPC therefor not need connect by activesync.

I had the same problem after a faulty ROM from Vodafone NL, what I had to do is before I wanted to flash my ROM do a hard reset on my device (please back-up your personal data before doing this). After the hard reset, I could get a stable connection with activesync and flash my ROM

While the circumstances are different, my advice is still the same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481527

Stumbled upon this.. and yes the advise is good, when you run the flashing utility (i.e. CustomRUU.exe), it says you need an Active Sync connection, but you really dont, you can flash it anyway, it seems to find the device via USB regardless.

ufff!!!! to me yes found right, thank you thank you to first post. (flashing from SD)

Undetected
Well i had the problem where my phone wasnt getting detected at all.... i put the stock rom and radio but couldnt put stock spl on the phone with sdcard.... after trying different computers/usb wires/settings i returned it for a new one and this one works fine.

PLEASE help me save my phone!

My phone is T-mobile Wing Hera110 with IPL:4.26.0002 and SPL:4.26.0000.
I flashed succesfully my phone with a cooked herald rom with USPL (flash center) and worked ok.
When i tried to do same thing again for bad luck the phone disconnected from cable and after this the battery came off during the flashing procedure.
Now the phone can only show the bootloader (red,green,blue) image and nothing else.
I tried with originals roms that i downloaded from here and i get 270 error or 294 error.The roms were not corrupted i beleive.
What can i do to flash again my phone with original or anything ????
Thanks a lot guys and keep the good work!

Follow my GUIDE to get things right again..

Every time i try to flash my phone with TMo_Wing_RUU_Update_4.26.531.4.exe i get an ERROR [294] and procedure stops to 1%.
why?what is my mistake?Also i tried to boot from flash card (2GB) the .nbh and nothing!I also renamed the file as HERAIMG.NBH

look , just try different roms and would you tell me what is your PC OS ??? some windows like 7 need to get the USB driver from internet to let the pc know the ppc as an external usb device , so make sure the icon above near the clock that says "remove safty appears to make sure they are both connected.you did not brick your phone as far as you see the three color screen shows up, check the things i mentioned and keep me update

i encountered the same problem somehow and i could not flash through flashcenter so i tried to flash with SD memory and it worked for me , make sure the name of the rom is right and also try flashing with another sd memory ,the last step i know is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417930

I use pc with windows xp sp2 and a small icon that says "remove safty" appears when the phone is connected. I tried many official roms like (TMo_Wing_RUU_Update_4.26.531.4.exe,HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe,T-Mobile Wing Software_4.26.531.1.exe,RUU_Atlas_TMO_US_4[1].10.531.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship.exe,RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe ) and i get error in 1% or 2% .
I would like to test the goldcard method but when i tried to make one i had problems with perl pakages..
(I have 1GB mikrosd card..)

Need a 256MB or Less card that is formatted via Windows. I posted a pic here:

[Q] HTC HD7 Diag Mode and Zune need some help

This mode was accidentally entered when I'm trying to boot my htc hd7 and press camera button together with volume up (around 20sec while the phone booting). For your information, my htc hd7 having problem with zune application and my device manager recognize it as unknown devices (yellow exclamation mark).
It was caused when I've sideloading USBModeSwitch.xap and change from ZUNE to DIAG mode. After the phone restarting, the apps has been revoke then i've no chances to install the apps again to fix it back to ZUNE mode.
Now the phone can operate as usual but cannot recognize by zune (yellow exlamation mark in device manager in PC).
The good news is, the phone had recognized by pc when entering this mode. and the devices manager detect the phone under Portable Devices -> Schubert. Can we sideloading apps using this mode? If yes... it was a good news for those having the same problem with me. But the question is.. HOW.
Note: After the incident, I already flash the phone. but still unable to be detected by ZUNE Desktop in normal state. it can operate, can install from market place as usual but cannot sync with zune desktop. Can somebody help me on this? Sorry for my English. You may refer with my attachment for the images and the XAP application.
Note 2: Never try the USBModeSwitch.xap if your phone is not fully unlock or will facing the same problem with me. hope someone can fix this issue. because lot of friends are stuck in this doom.

same problem here....
an hd7 too...

First, are your phones unlocked? I assume they are. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to deploy this USB-whatever.xap.
You may try deploying smth after running WPConnect (Phone has to be connected already). This small consoleapp does some funny stuff with the phone/PC connection. So maybe your devices will be recognized this way.
Best you start WPConnect from commandline, to have a look at the output, which should be smth like "[Devicename] successfuly connected..." or such.
C~

tried it, doesn't help
the phone is not unlocked anymore... that is the problem in my case ;-)
but i was able to install the HTC Diagnostic Drivers...
but i dont know if i can use it to disable Diag-Mode...

And you are not able to re-unlock your phone (via official or Chevron)? Have you tried to unlock after connecting - closing Zune - running WPConnect?
This is just a mere guess, but hey, who knows it maybe work

we cannot lock our devices as neither zune nor WPConnect realize that the phone is connected (because of it is in Diagnostic-Mode)
but thanks for your reply ;-)

Yup that's true. I try to used ansar ROM, flash it, but nothing change. I wonder if we can custom a rom and implement the extract file of USBModeswitch.xap to the rom. so that the phone will boot with usbmodeswitch installed in it, using this step, we're able to switch the mode from diag back to zune.
This the final technique might can help for now. For the ROM, i can only break/extract until I've got the 2 OS file:- 2_os.nb.extra (±2.4MB) and the other one is 2_os.nb.payload (±181MB). Ok, until then, I was stuck. if not... we can extract the XAP directly to the OS folder, then repacking back the ROM. the 2_os.nb.payload file was unable to extract to bin file. Error shown:- "no boot partition". Maybe I'm using the old WinMo tools to extract it.
ahhh.... gosh... stuck in this step. any help and guide will be much appreciated.

Hi,
from your writing i can read that you have the needed knowledge to make this thing...
so how long do you think will it take to get the two files...
and if you get these files, how can we flash that ROM without HSPL or SSPL?
thanks for your answer ;-)

our problem is... there's still no kitchen for WP7 (temporary). So.. we have to wait Da_G or Ansar.Ath.Gr work. they might have some tools that can help us. I knew.. lot of our friend already stuck in this mode as well. So... there's no sync with zune for us... no music transfer via usb.. and we have to forget all the thing that we can do using the USB cable except for charging it. lol~ how sick...

yeah...
i can only listen to radio in the morning when i drive to school...
i hate the most of the breakfast-shows
i have another idea instead of waiting for an C-ROM...
but that is only possible with a clean, Chevron-Unlocked and USB-Switch installed WP7 phone...
so nothing personally...
and we need to wait for the update...
the whole clean system would be backed up and could be used for our WP7 devices to get the USBSwitch-App onto our phone (holding camera-key when starting to install backup)
would be great if there is anybody who makes it...

hi
ask the autor of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
maybe he can help ,his tool use usbmodeswitch.

im active in his thread too, but he didn't answer at all...

I have actally done this myself sadly the only option I had was to sync all my contacts with Windowslive and reset the HD7 by holding both volume keys while powering it on from a cold boot.

can you tell me what rom was on the phone and what rom you flashed After you F*****up your phone ?
I want to know what Radio was on it , I think that tool does something with the radio rom on the phone , it could help the flash an older rom using a goldcard with an older radiorom in it.
edit:
maybe it is the spl , try to flash a rom with a lower/higher spl number.

[Q] Latest stock update caused bugs and no PC connectivity

Hello,
I'm working with the stock ROM 4.0.3 and HTC sense 3.6.
yesterday, I got an official update from HTC to SW 3.33.415.51. After I did this update, my phone started behaving abnormally.
1- Location application opens whenever I reboot or connect my USB cable to my computer.
2- The connect to PC options don't popup anymore when I connect my USB cable, nor can I select the phone to act as a "Disk Drive".
Along with other bugs like the speaker turning ON automatically when I answer phone calls, but I only care about the problem of connecting my phone as a disk drive... It prevents me from doing anything (bootloader, customized ROM,....etc).
The thing is, when I connect my USB cable, the location service opens instead of the connect to PC options popup, so I don't know if this is the cause of the problem, something causes the location service to open instead of the connect to PC options.
I tried the following:
1- Reset to factory settings.
2- different cables and SD cards and laptops.
3- I can read the SD card using file manager.
4- I can't even unlock the bootloader and put a new custom ROM, cause when connecting the phone to PC via USB cable and reboot on boatloder mode, it can't feel it, and the phone shows fastboot AC (not USB). and whatever commands I enter in the cmd, it is not executed cause the phone is not connected.
I've searched all the WEB and can't find a solution. I appreciate your support. The PC connection was working fine before this update so I doubt (or wish) it is not a hardware problem.

will re-installing PCSC.APK fix that? does anyone have this apk for sensation?
Thanks

Try flashing the 3.33 package again from here: http://goo.gl/qcbH9
Pls read in detail here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
and check your CID is supported.
If it doesn't work, try to find the RRU for your phone and flash it.
PD: to get to the bootloader, first take the battery out.
I hope it helps.

Thanks for your reply. I tried it, edited my CID in it and flashed, it worked and the .zip file was loaded but didn't solve the problem. actually nothing changed.

There is another way you can use a custom rom without using USB. I have to do it this way because my USB port is damaged. First get a SD card reader. You can buy them for 5 dollars. Then take out your SD card place in the card reader, connect the card reader to the computer. Transfer the rom from the computer directly to the SD card. Then put card back in phone. Flash rom as usual. This works well. To get to boot loader remove battery put battery back in press volume down and power at same time. Hope this helps. At least you know another way of flashing rom without using USB. Maybe this will help because you can't use your USB. I wish you the best.

Thanks for your reply. I've thought about that, but my phone is Locked and S-ON (I didn't put any custom ROM on it before). I guess to put a custom ROM I need to unlock and S-Off it first? And to do that I must be able to connect it via USB.

Yes I believe so, but you can flash roms with s on. If you enable smart flash in recovery. However you must first be rooted. And yes that requires USB. How about my second suggestion. I looked into this. I ordered the USB part it's very cheap. Then called a cell repair company in my neighborhood. They said it will take three hours to do and cost 55.dollars. I haven't had the extra money but I'm going to fix it this way, when I get the money. This is a option for you! It's much cheaper then sending in for repairs! The part itself is like 7.dollars. so all together to fix locally it's going to be around 62.dollars. not too bad. Just look in your local phone book for cell phone repair shops. Get quote over phone but tell them you have the part it's much cheaper to order part yourself. I hope this helps. At least it will save you some money! Press thanks if I helped in any way. Best of luck. This is how I'm repairing mine.

Galaxy Sl boot loop after physical Damage

At first I should say that it is not my phone and don't know how exactly what happened to it
One of my friend gave it to me and told that after dropping from 1meter on the ground phone
start auto rest some times in day and after one month it got boot loop.
he take the phone to a person to fix but that guy
Said :the hard don't work.
so he decided to buy a new phone and now he asked me to find a way for fixing.
I don't believe that the hard don't work cuz I have damaged my phone hard by repapartitioning from Emmc to MTD.if the hard dosent work the phone shouldn't turn on.
Now I have a galaxy sl which could be turned on and can go to downloading mod. what should I do? his owner said he have flashed a Rom once but no result.
is there a way for fixing?

We can't say if there is a hardware damage, for sure. But, if you want to flash a new firmware, check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737
If the phone works well after flashing new rom, then all is fine. If not, you can go to Samsung's service center and get it checked.

Is there a way to install the cwm from stock recovery?

As far as I know, you need to connect your phone to pc to install any cwm. try reinstalling the Samsung mobile drivers, and reconnecting the phone in download mode. as long as odin detects phone in download mode, everything else is secondary.

if the internal sd is gone just stick in an external one and try flash a new rom it will install to external sd (if works like the i9000)
have you installed kies or the usb driver only package ?

the sd card work(dont know about internal)and when i go to stock recovery it detects but. ihave installed samsung usb driver
and i had galaxy s3 too so i know how does samsung devices work..i am wondering is ther a way to install clockwork recovery on galaxy sl with stock recovery...cuz when the phone go to download mod windows says unkown device .
i dont know what should i do

with odin 1.85 or 1.83(later versions seems to have some issues with this phone) even if windows doesn't recognize the phone it must be shown as a connected com port (with my original rom the phone has never been recognized by the sistem)
if this dosen't occur i think you cuold try to use hendmall on any linux live distro or adb but with standard recovery i don't know if you can access the phone trought it
the install update from .zip in standard recovery if i remember well dosen't workin this case it gives error probably because the original samsung rom packages are recognized by the SS_DL.dll or any other file inside of it inside all the official roms but this is just my modest opinion i'm not sure at 100% on the ddl story you have nothing to loose anyway so you can give a try with this way
