my frined has a galaxy 2 and he has a cable for it, we tired a lot of things, but nothing works.

its a shame really
xoom usb host works pretty well - keyboards, mice, ps3 controller - out the box too
but for the desire - everything was picked up as an in-car device (without flashing new kernels)

I saw somebody last week connecting a usb flash drive to on his mobile but I didn´t had the time to see and ask which phone it was.
Have been thinking about it ever since. Would be so handy to push your date to a flash drive on the go.
I been to the same bar in the hope I would see that person again but I haven´t saw him again. I´m afraid it was a tourist.

It looks a big hassle indeed if you have to switch kernels to get to slave mode again.

it's nokia i believe

[Q] USB drivers ?

Hi,
At home, on a Win7 64, I downloaded the T-Mobile drivers for the SGS2 and installed them. If I connect my Captivate it works fine, but when I connect my Skyrocket it says "not recognized".
At work I installed the same drivers on a Win7 32 bits and it works fine.
Any idea or links for a win 64 drivers?
Thanks

I had the same issue and after much searching, the end result was for me to install the latest Samsung Kies software. In the "%programfiles(x86)%\Samsung\USB Drivers folder" you can update device manager to recognize your phone.
I would post that directory, but it is >40MB. Everything worked after I did this.

are you talking about this version of kies http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/mobilesoftwaremanual/mobilesoftwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL

That build appears to be newer than the one I used. I used build 2.0.3.11085_152_4
I got this from the i777 (SG2) since the download was not available for the i727
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/at-t/SGH-I777ZKAATT
I would assume that the version you posted would also work

unfortunately it didn't work. I did multiple "re-install drivers" with Kies phone connected and not connected but same problem. I guess I will have to edit the registry to force the right driver.
Thanks for your help

I know this sounds odd but I've had this issue and it wasn't a driver issue - it was the USB port itself. Do you have another one you can try by chance? If you're using one on the front of a desktop, is there one in the back that you can try instead?

Thanks for the idea, unfortunately yes, I tried that too yesterday without luck.
But thanks for your help

I had the drivers previously installed for the sgs2 and got the skyrocket which workd no problem on a win 7 64 bit machine. Id suggest uninstall your drivers reboot reinstall shutdown after install reboot. If still no dice use a different usb cable preferably one from another android device that is shorter and thicker. Like the moto ones. The one that comes with the droid pro and the moto atrix is short and very thick . Or better yet radio shack sells gold.tippd usb cables very high quality ibelieve they are about 30 bones

I tried to uninstall and reinstall my drivers but same problem. It's really wierd because if I plug my captivate it is recognized right away, but if , with the same cable, I plug the Skyrocket then my Sky is not recognized.
I will try with a another cable tonight and let you know. Thanks for your help

Yes let me know. That is weird. Also maby your usb ports are underpowerd . Turn off power management and try the usb port thats connected to the hub. Although it ahould.work if the other phone did. Mabye a problem with the usb port on your phone. My samsung epic i had was very picky i tried like 6 different cables and finally bought a gold tipd one from radio shack and it worked and did u folow thia thread and use the drivers in it http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1340710

Yes, for the driver I did everything right
I connected my phone to two computers at my work without problem, I'm leaning forward a cable issue. Maybe the Skyrocket needs more power than my Captivate and that's why it is not recognized?
I will try another cable tonight
Thanks

Worth a try go to radio ahack get the gold tipd usb data transfer cable. Always worked for me when other cables didnt. Then try it

Thank you so much all for your help.
Finally it was the cable. Even if I used the same cable I used with my captivate, my skyrocket didn't want to be recognized.
I changed the cable and Tada..... It worked.
My guess is that the skyrocket need more power than the Captivate.
Anyway, thanks again for your help

good deal glad that worked out for you

JTAG pin out for ATT Skyrocket

I was curious if anyone has had any luck in locating the pin out for the jtag port on the ATT Samsung SGH-i727 "Skyrocket". I'm currently trying to locate and jtag my phone. Its not bricked. But I'd like to start digging and hopefully find an unbrick solution

Anybody...?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

It does work. There are people who offer jtag services . But you will need to track them down and hope the share the pin out with you

Oh I know it works. The MSM8660 also supports UART over USB just like SP5C110 chips did. I've been seeing people with a lot of bricks. So I'd basically like to see if we can do an "unbrickable mod" with this chip set too.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Yup, ton of bricks around here! Mostly from user error (flashing roms for other devices), but some mysterious ones as well.
I'd love to see this happen.
Alternately, people have been looking into the possibility of using QPST (Qualcomm Product Support Tool) to re-flash the system image (hex file maybe?). QPST seems to see hard bricked phones when Odin does not.
But I hear QPST can be pretty tricky (and dangerous), so that may not get anywhere.

Yes QPST would fix the brick, I'm very sure of it. Problem is like you said very hard to use unless your experienced with it. And also what would we do about the hex? If there's a way to flash on in QPST maybe there's a way to dump one. However, would we need to "virginize" it as to allow install on phones without loss of device specific information?

Did you find the pinout configuration for i727?
Is there any place that lists the pin out connections for different phone models or do they come with the Riff box?

heres a video with a jtag attached, see if u can see what wire is what, it might help

I often buy broken phones from a friend and have access to two SGH-I727R phones one is hard bricked due to my not noticing that re-partition was checked on the second attempt to flash clockworkmod recovery with ODIN. The second one boots but has multiple issues like no wifi, no Bluetooth, no SIM connection, random data loss on internal SDCARD, USB doesn't show up on computer but charges, likely due to the couple of resistors that fell off the board with the USB connector. I seem to have lost them from the box I put them in. They were specs of dust, lol. Happened when I was cleaning off the white powdery corrosion from the boards.
The corrosion resembles battery acids and aluminum oxides from the housing degrading. And also other damage from water and the elements and likely all manner of unknown liquids, it was found at the local Garbage dump's battery disposal bin.Plus the phone states that the USB cable is connected when it isn't and I have to use the 300kOHM jig to get it to stop that silliness long enough to start USB debugging mode. And last but not least the battery will only charge when it is in download mode or recovery due to warnings that the battery is "too hot and too cold"???? therefore it won't resume charging until it has sufficiently cooled and warmed up (in reverse I am assuming hahahaha) from it's erm hot cold state. Which it isn't. Oh one more thing when booting to the stock rom it had before it was brutally raped and tortured then left to die in a bucket of decomposing and leaking batteries it shuts down app by app till it causes a reboot then it goes through the same loop. I can only get severely stripped roms to boot before the loop happens but after one successful boot it does stay booted. Normal sized Roms crash before it can successfully optimize it's apps. etc...
Anyway, I thought that I would try to use the bootable board to create a hex to flash to the nonBooting QHSUSB DLOAD bricked one, but alas I cannot seem to (haven't searched on it yet been wasting time playing around with QPST without any idea of how any of the tools work or what most of their capabilities are or what 70%+ of the terminology it uses means in relation to the rest of the limited knowledge and experience I have with erm normal erm flashing thingamy bobs. I could understand just enough of it to likely make things worse had I been able to connect to the booting device. And either way while in QHSUSB DLOAD I can see the phone but it does not seem to want to connect and Windows refuses to open the help files because it doesn't want to support those types of help files anymore. So once I find out how to
***So that's the background I apologize for the length. If anyone knows how I go about connecting the booting phone to QPST so I can create a flashable HEX file to then unbrick the other one please let me know. Or where I can get a hex file that is meant for the SGH-I727R phone. Thanks. Googling Hex file etc... returns useless results that have nothing to do with what I want. I will keep trying to find the information and if and when I do I will post it here for yourselves and anyone else that may need it. Plus I will upload the HEX file to my dropbox or similar cloud storage for anyone to use that needs it.

jtag is the only way, afaik no ones has done a diy jtag on the sr, Mobiletechvideos has been used by sr owners w/good results

Nexus S has no service or USB connection

I have a Sprint Nexus S 4G that I've recently rendered without service or USB connection as a result of a fastboot accident. I'm currently running ICS 4.0.3 (Dooderbutt-aosp-v-5 build), but have tried restoring multiple backups on CM7 to no avail. Wiping all user data in CWM doesn't fix it either. I have also tried flashing the LC1 radio zip with no results.
The way I see it, my two best courses of action would either be to try and return to a stock ROM so that I can send the device in under warranty or to continue to try to fix it myself, which has been less than successful so far. Every process I have found online to return to stock seems to end in fastboot oem lock, which won't do anything for me as my phone doesn't show up in fastboot devices, file explorer, or seem to be recognized by my computer in either Ubuntu or Win 7. I've tried connecting on my friends' computers with the same results. I've also tried using another USB cable. No dice.
Sorry if I missed something obvious before posting. I tried to do a lot of research online and have reached the end of what I know what to do. Any suggestions?

Bump.
After some more researching, it appears that there is no way to lock the bootloader except through USB connection with a computer. Does this mean I'm out of luck? Any suggestions as to how to solve this issue? Since my first post, I've flashed ICS 4.0.4 with no improvement on the above symptoms. Also, auto-rotation doesn't seem to work. My Baseband version in About is listed as Unknown. Does anyone have any clue? Replies would be greatly appreciated.

have you updated the android drivers on your computer? you wont be able to connect to fastboot without the drivers. you can get it here http://www.junefabrics.com/android/ do the free download(on your computer) then follow the on screen instructions.

I'm running Ubuntu, so from what I understand, I don't need any drivers. Prior to this fiasco, my computer recognized it as a storage device in the file system as well as a device in fastboot. It doesn't come up as either now.

I had a similar problem after I updated to ICS 4.0.3, what version of Ubuntu do you have, and does the device show up when you run lsusb?
Also, have you checked inside the usb connector to see if one of the pins is bent or damaged?

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and no, my Nexus doesn't show up in lsusb or anything else I seem to try. I have checked the pins in the connector of the phone and even bent them around a little bit, but I doubt that's the problem. Since it disappeared immediately after a bad flash, I'm fairly confident this is a software-induced error.

Ok, the only other thing I can think of is a bad kernel or baseband, but since you've tried several different roms, I don't think that's the problem (unless you put on one that's not for your model).
Sorry I can't be more helpful, hope you figure it out!

Thanks for your help anyway. To be clear, each rom has its own kernel and baseband, correct? Are those things I can flash independently of roms like the radio?

Found something, not sure if you've seen it already : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077168
This bit is especially interesting :
"*If your having problems after the radio flash......go to dialer:
Type in *#*#72786#*#*, put your msl in, and let it re-provision"

For the usb not connecting, I had the same problem. After trying every computer in the house, I grabbed a can of compressed air for electronics and blew out my micro usb port on the phone itself. There was a small piece of lint in there that was causing the connection to not be made. It's worth a try.

I'm attempting to try this work around, but I can't seem to find my msl. I've tried putting in an incorrect code and checking alogcat for it as well as the terminal output of getprop. Neither of these give me the number. Sprint mentions using this code for resetting your phone in this tutorial, but I can't for the life of me find the part of their site that shows the msl.
This is exhausting. I really appreciate all your guys' help though. Thanks so much.

Unfortunately, I never figured out how to solve the problem. I took my phone into Sprint the other day and lucked out on the repair technician. He was messing around trying stuff and had a moment of realization when he booted into Clockworkmod. Even though I had voided my warranty, he still let me replace the phone for the $35 fee. I walked out with a brand new Photon 4G. I'm so happy, it's like Christmas in May!
To others who have this problem: sorry, but I don't know what to tell you! Mine was probably bricked. The MSL number didn't connect the phone and neither did anything else I tried. Best of luck to you.

Connected to phone via USB, must copy SD card, device always offline

I have been getting desperate on an issue which I mention in another thread.
I wrecked my phone and got a replacement, got it back to a state I wanted, so that's all good... However, I need to send the damaged phone back by tomorrow (Thursday) or else TMO is going to slap me with a $850 fee.
The problem is that I need to copy the contents of the SD card. This isn't an unreasonable endeavor because the phone, from all appearances, works fine, other than the fact that about 5 seconds after it gets to the desktop, it goes black...but it continues to sound notifications, etc., so I know it is still functioning, albeit with no screen.
When I plug into my laptop using adb, it acknowledges the device, but says its "offline". From looking around the web reading others experience with this error, it doesn't seem like a "real" error. Solutions suggested are changing USB ports, reinstalling drivers, rebooting phone, etc., and the problem seems to go away for those users. However I have tried these solutions, and yet my device still is considered to be "offline".
I use ADB often enough that I never turn off USB debugging so that isn't an issue. But while I know how to push and pull files , or fastboot flash a recovery, I don't know much else about ADB. Is there any experts or ADB gurus who can suggest some other ideas about how I can get this USB convection working? Or at least run some diagnostic too see if in fact the SD card is damaged?
It is very important I get these files of my SD..they are attorney work product and notes regarding a transaction (and also several pictures from the night the phone was damaged) . I make regular backups to dropbox, but apparently not regular enough as my backup wasn't current when I damaged it.
Please ... I am looking for any suggestions. And further, I can't believe that ifthe sd card was in fact damaged, I should still be able to recover some portion of the files. Can one access the sd card when the phone isn't on? It seems rather counterintuitive to me for HTC to create this obstacle consisting the microSD is non-removable on the first place.
Any thoughts are very much appreciated.

Because he said it worked for five seconds I assumed that to be rom related and thought there might be a possibility that recovery would work. After I posted I saw other posts and realized he's pretty knowledgeable... Not too used to that.
