Hi everyone.
Have an issue Originally used for 4.4.4, then upgraded to one of the first release of lollipop but due bunch of issues, revert to 4.4.4 rooted. done through FT. did not touch boot loader at all. was on 4.4.4 till few weeks. found pre-root PT version 23.4.A.1.264. after flash through recovery with all wipes USB is not recognized. at all. no OTG. but MHL works! Only partial recognized by PC when hold "Vol-" and connect to PC. But device appeared without Hardware ID.
Funny thing is as pre-installed AVG recognized it as rooted. but even SuperSU (and etc) does not recognized it as rooted. So kinda half-rooted.
Any ideas?
I'm using that exact same rom. First off, USB OTG was broken by Sony, they won't admit it but it's the truth, on 5.1.1 it doesn't work even if you flash through PCC.
Second, the PT rom is fully functional, you probably need to do the following, full wipe SD card connecting the rom to a pc using massive storage not mtp, then format it to exFat in order to be able to use larger than 4gb files. Copy the rom to it, put it on your phone, reboot to Recovery and flash through TWRP, it works better. But before flashing do a full wipe including formatting internal storage. That should solve your issues, if it doesn't, before sending it to a repair center try flashing a full rom with PCC

Sorry, did you flash the same pre-rooted firmware from 4pda forum i mentioned above? I understand that you flashed original firmware.

I cannot connect phone to USB. Phone does not recognized via USB. Yes, i can take out microSD card and put firmware there. but recovery lost as well. Phone does not boot to recovery.
Then you best use flashtool to flash a kk rootable rom and start fresh. If you can't connect to pc via USB you need deeper help than I can provide, maybe others in the forum or a Sony repair center.
Also, if the phone is detected you can use pcc..

Cheers MaterTB, but as I mention phone is not visible for pc at all. I've done reset few times - nothing changed. Looking forward for ota, that might reset it.

Hey guys. Thank you for you time looking over this.
My brother has a Moto G (US GSM version)that he's asked me to repair for him for $50 (that I really need) and I've gone through everything my limited brain can think of.
So, here's the issue(s): When turned on, the phone immediately boots to fastboot and at the bottom has two lines saying "Invalid Boot Image" and
"Fastboot reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode"
I can get the phone into CWM recovery, and that's about it. When attached via USB, the phone doesn't show connected at all. A normal bootup just kicks me to fastboot immediately. Inside CWM, I've tried wiping and all that jazz, but it doesn't seem to do anything for me. I know there are guides and such for restoring the phone back to stock everything..but I can't get the PC to see the phone at all, so I'm not sure if I'm still able to do that or not. I've not been able to find a way.
Hopefully that's enough information. I'm not too sure what else is needed. But I could really use the help here if you guys have any ideas, because I'm totally stumped. Thanks again.
You can either use a USB OTG cable to connect it to a flash drive or micro SD card and flash a CM zip. I'm not sure if your boot loader is corrupted or not, so you might have to reflash that too.
Or you can manually reflash the stock firmware from the bootloader (again assuming your bootloader works. You might be able to sideload through CWM too), but if you're not familiar with adb it might be a pain in the ass.
If you don't have a USB otg cable and want the easiest way out, go to the original development section for the moto g and go to the "Moto tool" thread. Download the GPE firmware and use the tool to flash it (I believe this also flashes the gpe bootloader so if that's your issue that will fix it too), its very simple to use.

Thanks very much for your help. I'm just wondering if all the steps with the cables and all that will still work when the phone shows no connection at all? When it's hooked up to the PC, it doesn't show connected whatsoever.
Sorry, I'm not too familiar with this stuff.

Moto G boot up failed
I have a similar problem with my Moto G 2013 LTE international version. My phone boots into fastboot, but then I cannot boot into recovery. It just says boot up failed. My bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted. I have tried to install TWRP but no luck. I have tried it using TWRP manager automatically and by flashing a zip file. I have tried sideloading, but that didn't work either. Please forward any suggestions.
Hi,
I've searched and searched, and posted on other forums looking for help. If anyone can help me, I would truly appreciate it.
My mother's phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005) recently updated itself to Android 5.0. This somehow broke the phone, and now it is in a reboot loop. Once the phone starts up, it will reboot itself within a second. I can still run it in "Odin" mode, and in recovery mode. Safe mode doesn't work.
Most people would want advice on how to fix their phone, but I've come to accept that it will need a factory reset/flash. However, I would really like to backup the photos on the internal memory. Is there a way?
I have tried:
1) Deleting the cache;
2) Using Odin tools to load different firmware versions on the phone (4.4.2, other 5.0 versions for different carriers);
3) Safe mode.
Nothing has worked so far. All I want to do is have the phone start up and remain on whilst I plug it into a PC and copy the photos. I'm willing to try anything, so if you have any tips, please share them. If there's anymore technical information I can provide to help, let me know.
Thank you.
If you have installed the TWRP you can try to make a backup and then still via TWRP copy it to the PC by using OTG and TWRP file manager, and then open it

Thanks. I've heard a lot about TWRP but haven't used it yet. The phone isn't rooted but I can hopefully root it and try your method. Can you please elaborate on OTG a bit? Haven't heard of it, but I'll look it up.

Ok, so you can install the TWRP w/o root using odin. The OTG is a specification that allows any device capable of acting as a host (such as a smartphone ) , to communicate with USB devices, and so with OTG you can copy files from your phone to a usb or viceversa. :good:
So I got this free Galaxy Tab 10.1, and tried adding a Custom ROM to help it run better, and be able to run some apps that the old android 3 os couldn't run. As of now, it has CWM v6.0.3.6 installed, as well as a KitKat ROM. This ROM seems to have been corrupted, and now the keyboard constantly stops working (receiving constant pop ups about it) and it no longer will connect to my PC via USB, although it still charges when it is plugged in.
I made a mistake when I was installing this ROM, and my backup stock ROM was never loaded onto the tablet.
My original thought was to use the install from sideload option to get a different ROM onto it, but it doesn't detect even in Recovery mode.
Odin does detect the device, so is there a way to use this utility to fix this problem? Or maybe some other option that I'm not thinking of?
Thanks for the help

Greetings and welcome o assist. If odin detects your device then kies emergency firmware recovery should work, that will return your tablet to its original state. The other option is to flash a different rom through recovery, just download it to your sd card and then flash it
Good Luck

I booted the device into download mode, where it is detected by Odin. Kies can tell that something is connected, but it just continuously tries to connect. The device does not have an sd card slot, so there is no way for me to add a different rom to it.
EDIT: Kies does not detect anything being connected at all if the device is booted normally.

Additional update:
By using the calculator app to copy paste numbers, I've gotten the device connected to my phone's hotspot, along with my laptop. Perhaps there is some way to force a file download over wifi? The device shows up in my network places on my laptop, but the folder is empty.

If you start kies and select emergency firmware recovery it will ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it. Does kies recognise it then?

Problem resolved, I was able to locate a Samsung release 4.0.4 for my device in .md5 format and flashed it with Odin. Thanks for the help.

Hey Guys,
in the last weeks a problem with my USB-Port occured. About 2 weaks ago i was able to plug in an usb drive and backup my system onto it via twrp. Yesterday i wanted to refresh the backup and twrp did not recognized the drive. I restarted the phone, and flashed the newest version of twrp via odin. Still not recognizing any usb storage. Then i booted up and pluged the usb storge in ... still not detected.
Even when i connect the phone to my pc it is not detected. The only way to connect my phone to the pc, ist by using the download mode and flash something via odin.
Now I'm confused. Is the USB-port not working or is something wrong with the software. Should i flash a 4 Port firmware and install everything again?
And why the **** is the phone detected while its in downloadmode but not detected in any other mode (recovery, booted up, shutdown etc.) ?
I appreciate any advice
Flash Stock Rom
I tried to flash the stock rom and it didn't solve the problem.
Its so strange i can flash roms and recoverys using the download mode. But in any other mode the usb storage is not detected. Even beeing in the twrp i cannot get the an usb-stick to be detected. Actually im pretty sure the usb-port is broken, but as i said i appreciate every advice.
Last idea i have is to flash a 4 part firmware, but i not sure wheather this would change anything.

If different ROMs don't fix it then yes your USB is FUBAR. The functionality of low end operations such as download mode work because they use very little. Does it charge?/
Hi, new to the forums.
My S7 is playing up (due to toddler getting hold of it and doing who knows what), it just cycles when attempt to boot. Can get to Recovery screen okay. Safe mode not working. I've resigned myself to buying new phone, but, there's some files/photos that I'd like off it.The charging/data port appears damaged, as it won't accept charge, nor recognised by laptop. Wireless charge works fine.
So, I'm wanting to flash the Firmware to see if helps, but, I can't connect via USB. I have the Firmware .zip file on my laptop (that would normally be used via Odin), and a micro-SD adapter. My question is, can I flash the Firmware via the SD card/recovery menu? I've done stacks of googling and got ambiguous answers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You cannot flash official Samsung firmware from an SD card; you must use Odin. You CAN flash custom firmware from an SD card, provided you have TWRP installed. The one you should use is https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-dqd2-devbase-v4-1-multi-csc-safe-t3592914 , which is, for the most part, equivalent to stock.

Either way from what you've said your options are very limited.

Thanks for that. I assume TWRP is an App that I would have to install and then access on my phone? I'm unable to, as the phone won't boot normally or in Safe mode; all I can do is get to the Recovery Screen. Is there any other possible workaround with that in mind?
Thanks again.
TWRP is not an app; it is a "recovery" substitute, and it must be flashed from Odin. I thought you might have had it installed already.
