Hi all,
I have a friend who has a goophone/kuphone couldnt tell you which as he never got mk tools to read it. A local shop flashed it for him with the wrong rom, So i have taken a look at it PC detects it flashtoolmod etc problem I have is finding a rom that one flashed will work,
With all the roms Ive tried only on does not 4032 all the time and thats 1Phone5_131031_backup_131125-160826
But the phone just wont turn on any ideas loosing the plot trying to get it sorted

When I plug in a USB cable (Either PC or Charger) the phone shuts down instantly then bootloops If i run Flashtools I can still upload roms
Etc but as soon as Thats done and i Take the cable out and turn it on all is fine put cable back in and it goes mental

[Q] Usb device not recognized ! NO ODIN . help :(

Hello friends .
I have installed -= [ROM-Leak][ODIN] Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4 =-
on my galaxy s 4g using ODIN 1.7 and everything was working fine .
Then i found another rom that i like and would like to change .
but now when i go into download mode by plugging usb cable on my phone after pressing vol up + vol down button . my com port does not show on ODIN and windows says - "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED"
This is very sad as i am not able to change roms
can any 1 help .
till now i have only used ODIN for roms , i am a little noob at cwm .
help would be appreciated .
thank you
It is redundant, but you have to uninstall ALL Samsung USB drivers, restart the PC, reinstall the USB drivers, do the download-mode on phone, plug it in, SHOULD pick up... IF NOT, do the above all over again. This is what I do when mine does this.. Sometimes it works right away, other times it takes a few reboots, but eventually the PC WILL install the "device" and Odin3 will pick it up.
i have already tried unistalling and reinstalling thrice . No help . Ive also tried 3 diff usb ports .
It is a pain, but this method was the only thing that worked for me.. it took some time.. and patience. Even went through this last-night while flashing from KC1 to KG4, and then to KH2... KG4 seems to be the trouble maker with the USB issue...
thanx . somehow the other download screen appered [ phone -->yellow -->pc ]
and i installed another rom . everything is ok now . thanx for the help
Glad to hear it worked out for you. Sounds like soft-bricking helped you out a bit in this case. They are usually nothing to really fear as long as you can get into either Download mode or that screen mode, ROMS Will always flash with Odin into either one.

oh ! ok . nice .
wonder why arent all roms made for odin ? :S
I also found out that some windows updates for windows 7 was causing a ruckus with recognizing sg4g and other phones. I am having this problem now. I will try the suggestion, although i've done it 10 times. But I need my phone, I have to make calls regarding my dad (just died and I cant afford to not have contact. TIA
did you fix it?

[Resolved] [Q] Xperia Ray OTA Brick Problem

My phone bricked after OTA. I checked all tutorials but whenever i try to flash ftf files, flashtool is keeping to say open debugging.
Before trying flashtool i flashed it several times with wotanserver.
Please help me.
Did you try to repair it using PC Companion?
This will do a clean flash with a complete original Image.
Thanks for your help i fixed it with flashtool
USB Connection constantly up and down
Hi guys,
I made an OTA update to my xperia Ray ST18 because the guy that sold me the phone didn't warn me it has been unlocked. Now it's dead!
I'm really desperate.
I tried Sony Update Tool to try to flash the new ROM. It detects the phone and says it has flashed OK. Then I disconnect the cable and try to turn on the phone but it doesn't start.
The only response I get when I try to restart the phone is a short vibration but the phone still doesn't start.
I don't know if it's normal but when I put the phone to charge there's no light turning on. Is it normal?
I'm also trying to flash with Flashtool but the phone now keeps loosing USB connection.
Any tips would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
Normaly is Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) the best Way
to repair your Phone.
If the Phone loos USB-Connection, check USB (ADB+SDK) Driver
or install new.
Maybe a other Way is "S1tool" it´s a small and crippled subset of SETOOL2 service tool.
Install it, all USB Driver inside.
Shut down your Virusprogram an startet it.
Press the Restore Button in S1
Bring Phone in Fastboot
(Loudness Button UP and USB Connect, you see blue Light on the Home Button)
Wait arround 5 Second..... Finsh
I had the same Problem about flash on my Ray.
The Phone was dead, only the Vibration works on started.
If i press the Start-Botton again, the Home-Botton-Light flash,
that´s was all.
New flashing with SEUS brought no success
S1 is also a good Tool for easy "unblock Bootloader in 10 Second"
And the CyanogenMod 7.20
(original update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-urushi-signed)
ist the best Firmware for the Ray.
Absolut fast, so overclocking ca do.
My Ray works with 1,6 GHz without Probs.
All what you need find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444841
FOR THE FUTURE, NO OTA UPDATE IF BOOTLOADER IS OPEN - THE FIRMWARE IS THEN BLOCKED FOR OTA
Greeting Onex1
Don't know if anyone can help me in my situation but I have a major problem arising from an OTA update too, my phone just refuses to read my SIM card. In fact, it doesn't even ask me for my PIN number, it just boots as normal but I have no connection to any network. I've tried using the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, therefore the problem is with the phone itself.
I'd recently had my phone network & bootloader unlocked by wotanserver using the test point method - because of this I thought the DRM keys would be fine (e.g. TrackId & Timescape still worked). However, when I was updating OTA my phone bricked!
So, I searched high and low for a solution and ended up using s1tool to restore the locked bootloader. Then I used flashtool to flash a stock ICS ftf file. It seemed to work (the phone rebooted) but it was then I noticed that the SIM card wasn't being recognised. Also, in the Flashtool log I noticed that a blue line was there saying 'this file is ignored simlock.ta'.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this.. Hard resets, updating with Sony Update Service but nothing works. There's just so much conflicting info out there that I'm really confused at this stage. I have a perfectly good phone in that everything works bar the SIM and I'd hate to have to buy another one!
Any suggestions anyone or is my phone screwed for good? :/

[Q] Stick won't connect to PC/ Am I screwed?

Hi all,
I'll try to keep this short, I am new to this and if anyone can help/point me in the right direction to find a solution it would be greatly appreciated.
I bought an mk809iv off of geek buying (I wanted to link the page of the stick I bought, but since I'm new here I can't)
I tried rooting it but jumped in too quickly and now nothing works. It doesn't connect to the PC or television. USB debugging is not checked on the stick.
I tried rooting with an Eazyroot image from an usb stick and got stuck in boot loop, then I found a rom that was said to be working and tried flashing it with RKbatchtool 1.7 and the drivers that came with the pack. The stick connected to my PC, i tried the to flash it, but at the end of the process i got flash failed as a message.
Now the PC doesn't recognize the stick, so even if i can find a rom (stock or otherwise) I can't even try to flash it.
Is it possible that I wiped the stick clean and that's why the PC wont recognize it? I have been reading a lot on fastboot and ADB, and am wondering if I could fastboot the device so i can load a new kernel (?) onto it so it would finally communicate to the PC.
Am I wasting my time with this? Is there anyway to get the stick to work again? I'll keep reading but if anyone can help or tell me where or what to look for to learn what I need to do to get it to work, it would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
* Edit: After reading some more, I seem to have hard bricked my stick... So just in case, is there anything to do or should i just throw it out?

Partially bricked Mi4c mi-globe 7.2.9

Good day gents and ladies
Well let me start from the beginning.
I'm was using mi-globe 6.12.22
Last week Friday evening downloaded 7.2.9 mi-globe,read around the mi-globe forum.Didn't see anything funny so flashed via twrp on Saturday morning.Hmmmmmmmm this is when all my problems started.
Basically what I should of done is download 7.2.9,new 3.0.3 twrp for norgat,go into recovery flash new recovery, restart recovery,flash 7.2.9 and then have happy days.But it wasn't to be and now I'm basically sitting with a useless mi4c device.
The device works but warms up and I only get about 4 hours battery life.
If I try boot into recovery I just get black screen.
If I connect device to PC it is not recognized, have tried 3 x different laptop/PC's and different cables.
So fastboot,mi-flash,mi-unlock are all not possible as device is not recognized.
I have been trying different solutions without any success.
I think if it would be possible to root device directly without PC then maybe it will be possible to get flashfire working and I can flash new norgat recovery?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
NB.I have tried loading Qualcomm drivers ,google drivers etc etc.no luck can't connect my device too PC,either get device not recognized or the PC doesn't even see the device.Enable USB debugging etc etc nothing works.Been fiddling for 4 days!!!!!!!
Tried to root with kingoroot,framaroot directly on device etc nothing works?
Please help,else device is a nice piece of plastic that holds paper down on my table.lol

Is usb charging via pc working and have you tried miui updater? , This seems weird state you have ... If none working might be tried deep flash cable flashing ... Or go to nearest service center. Hope that help. Best luck.
Hi,yes USB chargers device via PC but that's all.
How does one deep flash,could you post link please?
I bought the device in China about 18 months ago,Xiaomi never sold mi4c in my country so doubt they could help me locally.
Seems I have soft bricked the device?Tried every thing no solution.
If it would possible to root without USB cable I could maybe try flash new twrp via flash fire?Then could wipe all and try start again?

For dfc here the link http://xiaomitips.com/guide/miui-deep-flash-engineering-cable-solution-to-non-edl-device/
Please take dfc as last resort. And do research more on this... Do with your own risk. Good luck
Hi,
Yes sorry I have tried updater, I download rom start updater it starts but after about 2 minutes stops and phones shuts down.
I then have to restart phone with long press of power button. It restarts but nothing has changed.
Wrt fastboot it goes into fastboot but this is useless cause no Pc can see my device and if it sees it it sees unknown device, spent countless hours trying different things without any success.
Seems have soft bricked the device, phone works but gets hot and battery life maybe 4 hours if I'm lucky?
Not sure what more today?

Before this has your pc able to use the miflash ? Try to follow this guide to setup it correctly http://en.miui.com/thread-136188-1-1.html ... I follow this guide and the adb n fastboot even works on an old pentium 4, 512mb ram, win xp laptop.
Ps: I think, its only a matter of incorrect driver setup on your side, best luck.
