[Q] Hero trackball/pc connection problems

Hai people,
Im new here and i got a problem with my HTC Hero. Ive got it rooted to FroydVillain through this site and it worked fine for quite a while. But since thursday my phone flipped.
My trackball keeps lighted on, whatever i do. My battery runs low in like 6 hours...normally i did a whole day with it.
When i plug the usb cable it doesnt connect to my computer, it only starts powering up the battery. If its connected with my usb cable and i remove the battery the trackball starts flickering instead off burning all the time.
I didnt know what was going on, so i tried to do a nand restore in the root menu. After that i still had problems with the trackball and it still doesnt connect to my pc. Then i tried a factory reset in the root menu, but the problems are still there.
It doesnt let me get into the mobile network settings either. It doesnt find my provider and cant change it, so at the moment my whole phone is useless
Im quite new with this whole rooting thing, so i might have messed it up now? I hope some people know a solution for this. Please dont throw to geeky stuff to me, because i might not understand it
My software settings are this according to the phone:
Firmwareversion: 2.1 update1
Smallbandversion: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Kernel-version: 2.6.29-063c4d24 htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1
Build number: 3.32.405.2 CL 191507 release-keys
Softwarenumber: 3.32.405.2
Browserversion: webkit 3.1
Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance

I have tried to fix it myself cause i didnt get any responds yet, but without succes. I got it to restart again in the original htc version, and get the setup menu where u can set your country, wifi connection etc...
It doesnt recognize my sim card though, and doesnt find a provider because of that. When its finished with the setup menu its at the 'normal' home screen. But as soon as it turns black as the screen saver i cant get the screen on again.
The trackball also still keeps burning.
I went to my local phone repair point, but they dont do androids :S its for nerds he said -_-
Im getting hopeless...plx could some1 tell me what to do. I want a whole reset off the phone...i dont care losing information on it. But because i cant connect it with my computer i have no idea how to flash a rom on it

Windows will not recognize my phone.

No matter what i do it will not recognize. I have reloaded the driver and i cannot get it to work. I want to go back to stock but can't get started

need a few more details. There are a few threads about this topic already, but if you have AWD launcher or Launcherpro active, Windows will not see the phone through Keis. You have to switch back to the Touchwiz UI and Keis will see the phone.
Hope this helps.

I rooted my phone last week. Then decided to do 2.2 ...when i went to do it my my pc would not recognize the phone. I finally got it to work by selecting mass storage in usb mode. I managed to get 2.2 loaded. Now i want to go back to stock before trying another rom. When i plug the phone to the pc it charges but the pc comes up as not recognizing the phone. When i do try to enter download mode by holding the volume buttons and putting in the usb the phone just boots.
thanks

I think i finally got it...i tried cleaning the contacts and it seems to be working! Sort of....its hit or miss....the other thing...if my phone shuts off the only way i get it on is by holding the volumes and power button and pluggin in a cable....what the heck is that about?

Wow that's a new one. I too have had problems getting my phone connected in Windows. At first I never had a problem but after installing Kies Mini I have never been able to get my phone to connect properly. I'll work on it this week and post any suggestions to see we can get this figured out.

Search the forum for guide unbrick optimus 3d kdz method I think u need v20g but I am not sure with the Korean model
sent from my acidhazard thrill

this phone lg optimus 3d (lg su760) just seems dead. it won't turn on, it won't go to recovery mode, i won't show battery charging status, i won't connect to laptop. laptop does make sound like its trying to connect with then phone. but after few attempts it just gave up.
i was in uk, but right now in Pakistan. i showed it to few mobile phone technicians and they said that its BOOT ROM DAMAGED. can anyone please tell me who can i connect this phone to laptop??? i don't know much about ROM, About KDZ or anything. but i think once my phone get connected with pc then i might be able to do something with it.
what do you thinks guys? will i be able to recover my phone or its just gone now..totally dead?? please reply.

At the moment you have no way to recover it by connecting to laptop,you need a new board.

Sorry, search doesn't work right now and i found this thread via google only. Hoping someone can pull magic out of their $$$.
I have an LG Optimus 3D P925G (but using the ThiaiZ ROM for a long time). Yesterday i was going to experiment with another ROM, so i copied some files from the SD to External SD via mass storage, rebooted into recovery and did a backup (CWM), and then forgot i wanted to copy a couple more files, just to be safe. So i rebooted into the phone, connected via mass storage, copied my files and turned the phone off. A bit later, i went to turn the phone on into recovery so that i can flash a new ROM and nothing happened. Phone won't turn on, no screen, nothing!
So here is what i tried, with two separate batteries.
1. Hold down 3D, volume down and power
2. 3d, volume up, power
3. volume down, power
4. volume up, power
5. home, volume up, power
6. home volume down, power
7. Took battery out, held the power button for more than 10 seconds, but the battery back and tried above options
8. All of the above while connected to PC via USB
-Some caused my PC to connect for half a second and go into continuous loops (you hear the PC trying to connect, but half the sound it usually makes, and then again and again...)
-So PC can't see it, ultimately
9. Tried above options with battery out and then putting battery in
I got nothing left to try...any ideas? Magic?
But i am guessing an expensive brick/paperweight is what i have.
Thanks!!!

Follow this step by step.
Install driver.
Use another cable.
Open Windows device manager.
Remove battery.
Insert battery.
Hold vol+.
Insert cable.
If it gets recognized it will show you LG communication port in device manager.
Release vol +.
If you cant see that and all you get is OMAP4430 you probably flashed wrong ROM and your LG can't be repaired with the tools that are available here.
Send from my Xperia Neo V using xda-developers app.

No go. Still get the OMAP, off and on in a continuous loop. The thing is, i didn't install a new ROM yet, i was planning on it but never got there.
Fun (sarcasm).

Pls help - same situation
Pls help! I'm in same situation. Did anyone manage to find a solution?
I am desperate because I need my phone all the time.
I have the same symptoms, and the OMAP device in device manager does the same thing. On/Off/On/Off...and so on..
If I simply plug my phone in, It just goes on/off/on/off ....... it only vibrates shortly when it starts and I can see the LG logo, then it turns off.

Did you enter "S/W update" mode ??(by insert battery while holding vol+)??

Search the threads ..
There are tools available that fix this problem

Wkpark fastboot tools make the phone almost unbrickable unless it's damaged the hardware
And it's very hard to damage the hardware

First things first. If you have tried all these, start afresh.
uninstall all LG related software, reboot laptop and start again.
search the forums for all related issues, read read read, understand and follow the steps exactly.
you will have your su760 up and running!!

Need To Restore Nexus S 4g

I have an extreme problem with my Nexus. I've been through thick and thin with this phone, and I'm hoping you guys will help with a solution to this problem.
The power button to my Nexus is broken completely. I stabbed it so much that the clicking black part is completely removed from the slot (on the motherboard).
One time, my Nexus S died, and I realized I had no way to turn it back on. I tried every single method (battery pulling, button pressing, USB connecting, etc) with no answer. I finally was able to find a solution. I used Odin to restore the bootloader tar md5 file, and thus auto rebooting the nexus (when the box is checked). This worked like a charm, until I realize I made a fatal mistake.
I chose an md5 file for the ORIGINAL Nexus S (not 4g).
I was able to easily go into recovery with Quick Boot from the Play Store. I installed Raspbean Jellybean (02-05-13 build), but the installation was very faulty. The home button is nonfunctional (it vibrates when pressed, but nothing happens) and Browser is not working as it just closes itself instantly. Like an idiot, I didn't install Gapps before rebooting into the ROM.
Stuck in that dilemma, I used the built in email app to sync my Gmail account to the phone. I sent a Quick Boot APK to myself to try and open so I could reach recovery, but it said there's no type of program that can open that file (maybe because Gapps isn't installed).
The last thing I tried was Odin again. I tried to restore the ICS release keys, but Odin will not recognize my phone anymore for nothing. I tried 3 different USBs (2 with shorts, and 1 normal one. I don't know if the type of USB has anything to do with it). Nothing.
So here I am with a faulty, Gappless ROM on my Nexus S 4G with a completely broken power.
I'm wondering if you guys have any solution/suggestion to get Odin to recognize my phone again so I can restore it and work from there.
Apart from that, ANY solution to this problem is highly acceptable and greatly appreciated (ways to get into recovery, etc). I don't want this to be the last of me and my sweet ole Nexus =(,
Thanks x1000 XDA!

Hey Guys. I was actually able to reach recovery, because the ROM I'm using has a Power Menu widget in it's quick settings (Go Figure). But my phone is still unable to be recognized by Odin in Download mode. The phone is also not recognized by my pc at all. It only charges, no matter what USB I try. I even tried mounting in recovery, no go.
Please help. Thanks!

Stock i9003 stuck at Samsung Logo - what are my options for recovering data?

Hi All,
This is my first post here even though I've been following the posts/threads here for more than year since I own Google Nexus 4 and a rooted Amazon Kindle Fire.
My wife has a Samsung Galaxy S i9003 and it recently went loco without warning. It now reboots till the Samsung logo screen and stays there. It has the stock Froyo 2.2 as the Middle East never got anything later than that.
1) I've tried the power button + volume button + home button technique to get to recovery mode but it never works.
2) I cannot shut down the phone and the only option is to remove the battery to do so.
3) I know there's a way of loading a new OS/firmware over it but that's the last resort.
What she really wants is her Contacts and SMS messages back. For some strange reason, her POS Samsung didn't sync her phone address book with her Google account. We're really done with Samsung and their ****ty attempts at forcing users to use their crappy Samsung Store (we can't install Google Play in her phone) but before I smash it into pieces, I need this data back.
Any ideas guys? Any suggestions/recommendations/tips will be highly appreciated!
Her next phone will be a Nexus 5, but until it arrives, I need to somehow get her data back.
Cheers.

Greetings;
1st I AGREE WITH YOU!! S***ty Samsung
Ok Let's review some things:
1) I've tried the power button + volume button + home button technique to get to recovery mode but it never works.
A: Remove USB Cable (or Charger). Remove and place back your Battery. Then try again.
2) I cannot shut down the phone and the only option is to remove the battery to do so.
A: That's alright for now.
3) I know there's a way of loading a new OS/firmware over it but that's the last resort.
A: You said you wanted your contacts (her contacts).
If your contacts are syncronized with Google account, then you're good to go.
Else, there is a way to retrieve them through "adb". I read that somewhere a long time ago. (I never attemped - so i don't know how to do it)
Flashing a new Firmware:
If you're willing to use a GingerBread Custom Rom:
Go for DDLF2 Custom Rom (It's way better that the stock ROM)
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329200
Follow the thread instructions.
Note: If you prefer a better ROM try Nameless Rom (with Greenify and xPosed App - So you can save some Battery). - I Don't recommend doing this if you are very inexperienced.
But proceed with caution. Learn everything you can before attempting this.
Specially Learn about EFS (in case you lose your IMEI)
Q: Why Greenify and xPosed?
A: Any Cyanogen Rom will eat up your battery pretty fast...
Other Tips:
- Search the forum for ODIN or HEIMDALL to flash roms
- Learn how to ROOT your Device (CF-ROOT Flashable File) (Wich Includes ClockWorkMod Recovery and Will also ROOT your Device)
Hope this helps you out.
Let me know if you need further help.
Press Thank Button if it Helped you as this will keep me motivated to help either with tutorials, links, files apps etc...

Thanks for the reply and the assist! You're the only one who actually bothered replying, which is quite sad.
I'll try out the options you've given. Honestly, I don't give a $h!t about the phone, will probably burn it or sell it off. I just need her Contacts. She did have Google Sync enabled for her Contacts but it never worked and she never checked.
I've replaced this POS with a Nexus 5 and she loves it.

=) Well the device seems to be recoverable. The contacts too if she had her contacts synchronized with her google account.
All she has to do is login on her google account with her new android.
And yes i seem to be the last guy on earth having this device (partially) working.
