Has anyone tried a Motorola "Factory Cable" to see if it allows them to FXZ back?
I just used it successfully to RSDlite back to 2.3.5.

were you on ICS, and what state was it in before the flash
No. Just a messed up rooted 2.3.6. But the cable performed flawlessly for data.

Was it a normal cable or a "factory cable?" Factory cables are specially made so that you can flash stuff to your phone even if the battery is too low.
My misunderstanding. This is the USB/charging cable that came with the phone. Still has the Motorola sticker on it so it is a cable "from the factory".

I know what your talking about. I wonder if you could use one to fix the phones bricked from the ICS leaks. If i had a hardbricked A2 i would try the boot from usb you can do with the kindle fires.

I recently bought an extended battery for my skyrocket. I used it for a few days and one night while on the charger it apparently didn't charge. It was only at 70%. Then I noticed it would drop charge while plugged in and using it. The charge icon would stay on but it would consistently drop in percentage. So I switched back to the factory battery thinking that was the problem. Nope. The phone will charge as long as I'm not using it. I also can't get my phone to connect to the computer. Tried 3 different computers and 2 different cables (1 being the factory cable).
Another issue is that I have a custom ROM installed and if I'm going to turn this in for warranty how do I get it back to stock if I can't do it through Odin?
Thanks for the help.

I would suggest cleaning the contacts on the battery and phone and try a can of air duster to blow out the usb ports u are trying to use including the phones usb. If all else fails read the stickies in the development section to go back to stock.
P.S. im not sure if u can go back to stock without ODIN. But just read the stickies cuz i could be wrong

After a quick search last night all I found was info on reverting back to stock with Odin. I cleaned the USB port on my phone with a tooth brush. Got a lot of crap out of there but it didn't help.

I'm not sure if its possible but on my i777 I was able to use the mobile Odin app to flash the stock firmware. Possibly something a dev could come up in cwm since failing USB ports are becoming more and more common. A cwm flashable rom maybe and a separate stock kernal to flash after.

i just checked on here and in the market and i didn't see anything about the skyrocket being supported
Is there any way to flash stock rom without the use if Odin? Computer won't recognize phone and I have to send iT back for warranty after trying everything I can think of.

It's not clear what state your phone is in but if you can boot and have root mobile odin should work.

You can try to flash the below official ICS Stock roms via CWM, then try to reconnect with PC to flash via ODIN for complete stock.

Note: These roms are deodexed, so it is not unmodified stock.
Yes I can get to d/l mode and recovery

Do you have the necessary drivers installed on the pc? Try installing Kies on the pc. It will install the proper drivers for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes i have installed keis i even downloaded the drivers straight from the Samsung website too. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer(any computer) it says usb not recognized/malfunction. I have read many threads about how to fix this but none have worked for me. Im thinking about returning this phone because its still under warranty but its rooted.

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

So here's the deal. My phone is stuck at 2.3.6 no matter what I try. I tried Kies update it wont recognize my device. I tried Odin to get CWM the same thing. I have tried numerous computers and none will recognize my device yet all of which I can charge my phone off of. When I press volume up and down all I get is an option to install update from zip, wipe cache, and format phone. Why can I not root this phone? My build number shows GINGERBREAD.UCLA3. Please help.

I know this is rather simple, but in your actual phone settings, did you set up USB connect as charge only? This is what it is sounding like to me that you have done.
Go into phone settings, and then USB Utilities, then connect storage to PC. Low and behold your computer should quickly go nuts and say HEY we've got something here to play with. You might want to try to do this with the Phone unplugged from the computer to start with, then once the phone tells you to plug it into the computer do it then.

If you bend the inside of the port on your phone towards making the small side bigger it works.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Uninstall USB drivers and than plug in the blaze and let your PC recognize it or go to the T-Mobile site and DL the drivers. I've had that happen when I plugged in other phones, most recently when I got my s4. It wouldn't let me open the folders for the blaze. It would flash on than off. Just don't plug the other phone in again after you get the drivers. If it still don't work try regedit and see if its leaving behind traces after the uninstall of the drivers.:good:
