I have installed the wizard ROM on my SPV m600. No excuses, I got the files mixed up and didn't check before I installed. The only way I can get anything to happen is to plug into the mains then I can get into the 3 color screen by holding camera for 5-7 seconds. If plugged into the PC the screen just flashes.
I know its a long shot but is my phone really dead ?????
Any suggestions really appreciated.
If you get those EXE ROM upgrade files from the xda-dev ftp, you ought to able to flash your phone from the 3 colour screen even if activesync is not working. I'm not sure about prophet, but you can try those EXE ROM upgrades files that has something like `no-ID` tag on their name.
Thanks for your advice but I cant plug it into the pc to do anything. It just flashes ? Also, I'm new to this site. Could you tell me what they are and how to get the EXE ROM upgrade files please.
After reading through a fem posts, there seems to be a way of accessing through a terminal program "mtty.exe" have you heard of this ?
Thanks
Do u get USB connectivity, if not then try SD Backup while plugging in main.
No USB connection at all, however, wescomm.exe does start. Ative sync dose not do anything. I will try the SD Backup method and post the result here after work.
Thanks

Did U get any success??
None :-( It's stuffed, I have tried everything now. If only there was a way to read from the sd card while plugged into the wall socket. I had the idea of building a cable that splits. One end is plugged into the mains, then split the cable and run a standard usb cable into it from the PC ???? Just an idea. I have tried using an Ipod wall charger with USB slot (the same output) and an external hard drive caddy cable with two USB's one into the Ipod charger and one into the PC, then the other end into the PDA. It just flashed as though it was just plugged into the PC with a data cable !!!!
Any other suggestions would be great. Its so depressingnot having my faithfull device, I even went out and bought a razr V3, while I wait to get it sorted. Deffo not the same........
I found a place in London that claims they can sort it for £29.00 plus postal & insurance costs. I'll check it out first, I have family in London who can verify the place. I suppose if they can sort it for that price, its worth posting details of the company.

I meant, the screen just flashed on and off, not flashed as in ROm flash
I posted it to London. Will post what happens.
Does this place in london has a website so may check it?
Yep, its www.turnonyourmobile.com
They are unable to fix my phone, The ROM cant be accessed to be written to ? They have suggested I call orange and see if they can do anything.
Dear Folk,
I bought a brand new Nexus S and it is bugging when connecting to my computer (WinXP, SP2). I mean when allowing debugging, clicking on the connection icon to activate the USB connection, it switches to the next screen with orange Android icon but straight away, it comes back to the invite screen with the green Android icon as picture attached.
I've done many forums before writting you and most of them where talking about drivers or rooting phone which I don't want yet. Seems drivers are good as when plugging, I hear the sound from my pc and icon is recognized as 'Android phone'.
Anyone can help me, please ? Let me know if more info is needed from my side.
Cheers,

Check whether there is something wrong with your computer. Try using PDAnet software for installing the driver again.
Still have issues do a factory reset.
Settings-->Privacy-->Factory data reset.
Thanks saranyan !
I did the factory reset and was still not working properly even with PDANet installed. Suddenly I had a light and changed the USB port ... plugged my phone on the back PC ... it was working fine like magic !!!
Anyway, thanks for having answered me. Topic can be closed !
Help requested before I am carried away to the funny farm.
I flashed the wrong rom ( phone instead of tablet ) and completely screwed up. Tablet charges OK but only boots to first splash screen and then powers off. Unfortunately this device does not have a external volume control so unable to do a standard get out of jail sequence. According to info I have found if I put the power swith to lock and press reset button for 30 seconds then plug into pc device should be found and windows will ask for a driver. So far so good, windows 8.1 would not load any android driver that I could find so had a thought and created a windows 7 live usb stick and hey presto when I plugged into pc tablet found and Android composite adb interface installed. BUT I still can not do anything with it. ADB can not see device (i presume because it is switched off ? )
I do have the manufacturers rom to get back to basics and nothing on tablet that I am bothered about so could any of you kind experts offer any suggestion as to how I can get rom onto device or is it a case of the BIG hammer and joining the ghost riders in the sky.
I have also tried RKAndroidBatchUpgrade and that seems to find the device but fails the test before flashing.
Many thanks in advance if anyone can assist

Duplicate thread. Closed. ?
Hi All,
Not posted in here for a while but always the first place i come when I have any issues.
Received my Z5 today. Everything is sweet but I cant seem to get the phone to connect to my PC so Sony Companion doesn't pick it up. There's nothing in Device manager and nothing comes up in the notification bar like it did on my Z. The phone does charge and vibrate when the USB cable is initially plugged in. Am i missing something obvious or is there something i need to do.
I have tried it on both Win 7 and Win 10. Installed the companion first on win 10 but not on Win 7. I haven't tried sony's supplied cable as i cant see this helping.... (trying it now)
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
EDIT:
Well this has made me slightly embarrased. Tried the Sony cable and it works fine. Detected straight away and asked if i want to install the software. I will leave this here incase anyone else comes here with the same 'problem'. My dunce hat will be on for the rest of the evening.
EDIT2:
Well it turns out i was trying to use a power only USB cable. I feel like a double twat now. Feel free to remove this post to save my blushes and to keep the forum tidy.
? We all make mistakes, no problem.
Hello there everyone, hope you guys are doing great. Well, this thread might be a bit stupid at first since many others might have posted something related to it but since I couldn't find the exact answer, I had to post a newer thread.
I have a Fire Phone which used to run great and perfect and I had been using it the other day while charging it with an Aspor Powerbank which does run great. The Fire Phone got stuck due to a few NOT FOR THE FIRE PHONE apps such as the Instagram and the rest. When stuck, I held the power button for 10-15 seconds to do a reset and it did work while it was still on charging. Now the phone wouldn't turn on without the AC power via the USB. It gets stuck in a boot-loop. Just shows the Amazon logo and restarts again. Nothing works at all, not even the recovery mode or the rest or even resets without the USB plugged in.
I did try to upgrade but was of no use at all, did try the Cynogen OS by flashing it in. It didn't work at all and the same issue persists. I have removed the battery and plugged it back in but again of no use. The battery does charge if you think it's the battery, The battery does stay there active and great. I did try changing the USB cable and the Adapter. Nothing!
One more thing, when plugged in to AC, I can go to the Recovery Mode and then remove the USB cable, the Recovery Mode does stay active on battery power for countless hours. What should I do?
Is it the USB port? Is the battery? Or is it just me?
Oh btw, I did try installing the Stock Update available on Amazon.com and the PC (Windows 8 64-bit) does recognize the phone on ADB mode. Does list the serial of the phone when connected but when side-loading an update via the ADB, it says that it doesn't read! Gives an error. How do I work on that? I did try installing the ADB drivers again but still nothing. Did try downloading the updates from other sites and even a downgraded file, nothing works. What should I do?
