Dash wont read storage card and no camera.

Hello,
I have a couple problems. I've just recently purchased a Rogers s621 and unlocked it and upgraded the ROM. I have a 1gb micro sd and when I try to access it its not even recognized. Like its not there. Anyone ever have problems with it not reading right before? Also when I try to start the camera it says "unable to initialize camera, failed to set up the camera device". I had these problems before I unlocked the phone. Thanks in advance. Also the card is a sandisk

Oh oh...well the thing is that i might not be able to help you out with that in the first place, just wanted to ask you, why u didnt go back to rogers and got it replaced by a working one? since, might be a hardware problem but they may not take it back from you after the unlock and the rom upgrade. cuz you cant really proof whether it had the problem before..dont you think...

Sorry, forgot to put I bought it private. Just seeing if there is a fix or not for it. If not I guess i'll take my lose correct?

Try flashing it again, or flashing with a different ROM image. What have you got to lose?

Well I did that, put wm6 on it and still nothing. It thnks for a sec then nothing. Any other ideas?

MoDaCo CyanogenMod 5.0.6 issue

Hey..
I just installed Paul's version of the cyanogen mod, which i downloaded from the MoDaCo website, but now my phone isn't working properly.
(android . modaco . com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307607/01-may-5-0-6-test-r1-cyanogenmod-5-for-desire-online-kitchen/)
It boots just fine, but it doesn't recognize that i have a Micro-SD card and a SIM Card installed, and both my phone and my PC do not react when i plug in the USB cable. I have also tried going into recovery mode and run the .bat to get up the menu, but it just says "error: device not found"
Please help me, i am at a loss.

The nex-desire rom on here is based on cm and works just fine. Go with that instead?

I would love to try another ROM, or even just going back to factory settings, but how do i do that when my phone doesn't think that my SD card is installed and i can't connect it to my PC? :/
I have a nandroid backup image on my PC, by the way, if that helps

Boot phone into recovery and flash a different rom update .zip like the nex desire one from here.

i just don't see how i can
1. put a new ROM on my SD card when the USB connection doesn't work
2. get into recovery mode when the adb can't find my device.. i can get to the phone with the red warning triangle on it, but since adb can't find my device i cannot get the menu up
Thanks for replying, though!

To get an new ROM on SD card you can use a card reader.. This will solve half of your problem..
Sorry, I am not a tech person so I don't know how to get adb to recognize in such case..
Try to get Paul's answer in the Modaco Desire forum (you probably already tried).
Oh, one more idea, did you try to perform a factory reset from the settings/privacy menu?
Good luck.

All the stores are closed today, so i will have to wait until tomorrow to try with a card reader, since I don't own a micro-SD to SD adapter..
I tried doing a factory reset, but that just reloaded the cyanogen rom, as i expected..
Thanks for trying to help
Anyone have any other ideas while i wait for the stores to open? :>
EDIT: I just tried plugging in my old SIM Card from my old phone, and I am getting a signal on that.. is the new SIM Card toast?

[Q] Some Things Not Working On Desire [Q]

Anyone that can help me with this one, can be my new bestfriend
After getting really really depressed over being on the Official HTC Sense ROM with my Desire, I decided to change to the Starburst ROM. As the new Unrevoked doesn't work with the latest official build of Froyo from HTC I always, always use this when I want to downgrade and root, to install new roms.
Normally, I will use the utility as indicated, everything will go smoothly, Eclair 2.1 will install, however normally my phone will be locked, and I will have to remove my SIM, update to 2.2, my phone will become Unlocked after updating, and I will root. However this time, when the utility copied a misc_partition or something like that to my SD Card, it came up with a load of write errors, saying there wasn't enough room on my SD Card, which I know is wrong as there is well above 6GB on there, and it's a Goldcard. One advantage of the utility is, if anything goes wrong you can press CRTL-C and the utility will stop with no changes made to your phone, however in my case this wasn't so. I stopped the utility, thinking if I continued due to the write error I would encounter some more errors, and I decided to do a complete wipe of my phone using the on-board Factory Reset in the Setting's menu. After doing this, I started to encounter some problems.
First of all, when the phone enters the setup wizard, it says I have 4 bars of signal, and a 3G connection. After around 15 seconds of being in the Wizard, I will suddenly loose all mobile connection. After completing the setup wizard, I will be prompted by a notice telling me I need to Insert an SD Card. Well my card is in there, and I know its working because after these problems I put it into my brothers phone, and formatted it, and it showed up as working just fine. If an LG POP can mount my phone, surely a frigging HTC Desire can?
I have noticed that if I remove my SD Card, then the problems with the Network will go away and I will be able to connect, however sometimes when I boot it my phone will connect to the Network for about 5 minutes with the SD inserted, then return back to Limited Service. *I have attached a picture of what I am seeing.* This is really annoying me, I am going to download the Froyo 2.2 ROM from Shipped-Roms as the SD Card seems to mount fine in HBoot. Please though, can anyone help me. Thanks.
*This is starting to become very annoying now, I have been working on this for several hours now, and I still have no fix or nothing. I can't exactly be patient and I don't mean to sound like a tech addict, but my world revolves around my phone, I use it for business ect. When I connect my phone to my computer, I get a message saying 'Install Drivers For Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' I have heard of CDMA before, but I don't think my phone is CDMA? My phone was originally branded Orange in the UK? Anyone that can help, just please please help me!

Hi, sorry I can't help with your problem as it seems too complicated to me (noob here) but reading what you wrote sort of alarmed me as I've been reading/watching videos on rooting and I thought that unrevoked (latest version) worked on any desire. It says so on the unrevoked site but you wrote you can't do it on yours because of new build of froyo.
Don't understand that, I'm on vodafone and asked advice to a few people about rooting and nobody told that I couldn't use unrevoked. Are you sure you can't use it. How about you do a factory reset and reflash rom and see how it goes. I do hope you're wrong about unrevoked though as I'm about to use it any day now (building up the courage...) Hope you get your problem solved.

well try to reinstall whole software via pc ...............
but check download latest version of official rom
back up your data as ur whole system sofware will be replaced
and do format ur sd in pc ( not a quick format )
hopefully it might resolve ur issues ( otherwise it seems a hardware issue >>>>>)
and i am not responsible for any sim locking or data loss sort of problems

Basically on the latest Froyo build from HTC (2.29.405.5) if you use Unrevoked, everything will go fine until it boots out of the bootloader to the actual software. On reboot Unrevoked will say 'Waiting for system to Settle'. This will never dissappear and it will wait for the system to settle forever and ever. However becuase you are branded on Vodafone, the chances are you're not running Froyo build 2.29.405.5, but a slightly older one. This is because when HTC release an update the phone companies have to put their software onto it, the the 2.29.405.5 update was only 5Mb, barely enough for the companies to be even bothered messing around with, so chances are you WOULD be able to root anyway, thanks for commenting.

Oh I know about data loss, Sim Locking and all that, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt, I've got a Utility on my computer that will unlock my phone and as for Data Loss, Google servers have it all
I've got a bit of an update though, I know your saying it's a hardware error but I think there are two key components here that aren't working.
- The SD Card
- The SIM Card
I have come to believe this, because I managed to use the PB99IMG file to update to the latest Froyo, and now my phone is saying there is an SD in there, but stats about the SD are unavailable in my phone, and also when trying to connect to the network, my phone will not connect to Orange. If I click on Manually Select, and I click on Orange, I get a message saying SIM won't allow connection to this network, if I do it with Automatic however, it just says unable to connect to the network at this time. I'm gutted I haven't been able to fix this yet, it's really annoying me because normally I would be able to sort this, been up all night trying to do it, any help is greatly appreciated.

When you say not working what do you mean? More info needed!
Also, edit the 'Qualcom CDAM' thingy, that means its trying to install modem drivers - sounds you USB-bricked the phone

Yeah it won't connect in any way USB wise, and when IS ay not working, the OS works fine, connects to the network for the first 5 minutes, SD card won't mount, then after 5 minutes I get locked out of the network, and if I try and connect I get a message saying my sim won't allow connection to Orange :/ Think you can help?

Help! Semi-Bricked Evo... Despairing, here

OK, I posted in the Q&A section, but not finding much love. Hopefully someone here might be more help.
The first thing to put out there is that I did not accept the Gingerbread OTA. Still on 2.2.
Here's the story: A couple of days ago I tried running unrevoked on my Evo. One month old, HW version 0004. I'm pretty sure I did everything as instructed, but the procedure failed. Machine would run for 30 seconds or so then drop into diagnostic mode (5 vibrations & lock).
So I tried re-flashing back to stock. The first stock image I tried screwed the phone up in that: (1) it would no longer see USB connections (2) no longer saw my Micro SD card (3) would no longer charge when the phone was on.
So I tried flashing a newer stock image, the third one on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
That only made matters worse, as now I've lost bluetooth, too.
Keeping in mind that I cannot communicate with the phone via USB (unrevoked now just keeps waiting for me to plug the phone in, as does HTC Sync, which I installed after everything else as a last shot) and am not rooted, what are my options here? I really want to get this device back to stock, because I need a phone that works.
If I take it back to a Sprint repair store will they even look at it? Can they flash it back to stock for me or am I SOL there?
I've been thinking that I could let the OTA install and if everything's still broken take it to Sprint and tell them the OTA screwed up my phone, but I'm worried I've left traces that would tell them I'm bullshitting.
Hell at this point I'm willing to pay $$ to get this thing fixed, motherboard swap or whatever, but I'm not sure Sprint will even do that.
Gotta have my phone back guys, any help greatly appreciated.

Let me clarify... So at the moment you have a version of a stock rom on the phone, and it will actually turn on?
However, you can't "connect" per se to the phone?
You could either email yourself the files you need or use "Awesome Drop"
OR
I've read that if you've bricked or screwed your phone around the time of an OTA happening to come out, you can go to Sprint and tell them you tried to accept the OTA update, Make up some BS about blah blah blah, and then you're left here with a phone that's acting really weird and is borked.
Generally the tech will re-flash as they are familiar with the issues OTAs can cause.... Or they may give you a refurb.

I'm not rooted, though, so I doubt any files I could e-mail myself would do any good.
I am considering taking the phone back to Sprint, but I don't know whether to accept the OTA then make up some story about losing Bluetooth, SD Card access and USB, or just being honest and telling them what I did.
At this point I just want to get my phone back to stock and working as it should. I'll leave the rooting adventures to others. Rooting my Nook Color is one thing, since it's basically a $250.00 toy, but I can't live without my phone.

Try this:

However, will need root to fix the USB problem. You should look into some temp root options that will allow you to use a terminal emulator to fix the USB issue. I've never tried a temp root method, so you're going to have to do some digging around for that. Maybe someone who knows more about temp root can chime in and help.

You could start one of two ways...
Either email yourself the S-Off and Recovery Image files, move them to proper place
Or take it to Sprint. Just tell them teh OTA messed something up. Don't think up a whole world of stories or truths. Trust me, they're used to it.

So, accept the GB OTA, then?
My Sprint store is also a repair facility. Do they have hardware and tools that can re-flash the device to stock regardless of what you've done to it? because that's what I'm thinking of doing at this point.
My biggest problem with attempting to fix it myself is that not being rooted and not having USB access I seem to be SOL.
BTW: I just testes WiMax and it works, so at least my WiMax key is good.

Will your phone recognize the SD at all? If you can get another card to work, you could theoretically run a PC36IMG of the RUU through the bootloader. However, you'll need your SD card working. If your computer will recognize it but the phone won't, you can try backing up the contents, then formatting/partitioning the card. Then move just the PC36IMG to the card, boot into the bootloader, and hopefully it'll ask you to update.
If you can't get anything to work, then download the OTA and start installation. The OTA may fix it... but probably not. If it does fix it, hooray!, but you're stuck without root until an exploit is found. If it doesn't fix it, take it into Sprint and tell them you took the update and your phone is acting funny. Technically if you word it that way, you're not lying
If the card can't be recognized, don't worry about the files on it. If it can, just delete any PC36IMGs or other files related to rooting/troubleshooting. Other than the SD card, there shouldn't be any way to tell you attempted to root as long as you're s-on & cannot access recovery.
If you don't have insurance, I'm not sure how Sprint will handle it. If you do, they should either fix it or replace it for free.

When boot into the bootloader and choose "restore" it does recognize the SD card. That's how I managed to flash this image (third klink on page) and get back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
So it's definitely a software issue with the phone preventing me from seeing the card/USB or connecting to bluetooth.
At this point I don't mind not being rooted. Having a working phone is more important.
And unfortunately I don't have insurance, but I'll pay the repair fee if they ask me to.

Did you try the SD card fix I posted above? I think with the SD card fixed and temp root you'll be able to fix both problems.

Thanks, I'll try that. I saw that thread earlier, and I just noticed that someone answered my question about fastboot. So I'll see if I can fix USB using that.
What really bugs me now is the lack of Bluetooth!
XDA search is down right now so I can't see if there are any others who have experienced this.

Please note that with the link I gave you, you can fix the SD card not being detected issue, but to fix the USB port using those instructions, you need root. Since Unrevoked won't work without the USB, you would have to either try a temp root method (I've never used it so I can't offer you much help there) or some other manual root method where the USB port isn't needed.

Step 1, Go into Device Manager
Start Device Manager.

Click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Device Manager.​ Windows Vista

so rom boots but somethings just do not work correct? bluetooth and usb and sdcard correct? follow the above advice to fix sdcard as mentioned then download z4root from here, to try and root since you are still on froyo temp root should work, at which point download rom manager. use rom manager to install either clockwork or amon ra recovery, boot to recovery, flash rom, profit!

ok, we can't help you if you do not follow directions. read my post, and those of the others who posted. one contains a link to a thread to fix the sdcard. you have been told to do this several times. i told you to do this first then get z4root. im done helping you, good luck.

Use z4root in order to achieve temp root for previous mentioned fixes.

Wohooo! I've fixed the SD Card issue! Thanks all, even DomSim, who's apparently given up on me in frustration. Give a noob a break, DomSim. I'm new to all this and am trying to balance reading this stuff with a family that also needs my attention.
I've got Z4Root installed and verified root, too. I'll probably fix the USB issue at work, since I don't need a computer connection for that and it's getting late (yeah, I usually leave for work just after 5:00 AM).
Once I've got the USB issue sorted I'll have to take a look at the bluetooth issue. I'm hoping its related to the USB situation and will be cured at the same time, but suspect that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Just completed the USB repair portion and.... SUCCESS!!!!! BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS, actually, as Bluetooth now works also.
I was hoping that the bluetooth functionality depended on USB (I think I recall that the bluetooth module on my Dell Mini 9 was USB based) and lo and behold, it does!!!!
Thanks again to everyone who helped out. You guys are first class!

Insert Sim card for network access

I tried to Root my Rogers Galaxy Note II using
howtoteachers.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/root-sgn2 (the first Option) new user I couldnt put the HTTP at the start.
And after completing all the steps My phone does not connect to my Mobile network anymore.
gives message to insert sim card for mobile services, obviously my sim card is in the device.
Help Please I need my phone Back!
Thanks

I have heard of people that when flashing their sim card's get fried. Try putting in another sim or go to the rogers store and just tell them your sim doesn't work in the phone. Don't tell them why just say it stopped working. Obviously don't show them your phone or let them touch it cause they will realize it has custom recovery and will void the warranty.
This is assuming that your sim card is in the phone and it isn't being shown. If the sim is being recognized and it isn't letting you make voice or data calls then I wouldn't know what the problem is.
Goodluck!

Yeah I heard that too
Yeah I heard that the sim can get fried but mine works fine in another phone just not my Note II.
I am going to try and reset it to stock and hopefully that will work.
I am new to this stuff. Is it possible to completely reset and wipe the root from the phone so they will not know that it was rooted?
Cheers
Bob

Hsve you tried a factory reset from recovery or from OS yet?
Also being new you should read up on rooting etc begore doing so.
I made a tutorial how to get back to stock via samsungs recovery tool.
Sincevyour phone is not borked, just try to do upgrade first, you prob dont need to do the EFR.
Scroll through and click the link to thegalaxy note 2 toolbox.
Nothings easier to root or unroot.
If it makes you unsurevusevthe Samung method via kies.
Note: it is recomended not to have kies installed when using GN2 tool box.
Make sure you READ, and follow eveything thoroughly.
The guy I tried helping out kept going back to odin, after I told him not to
Dontvuse odin until you are secure with what you are doing.
Odin can fail lots of chance for user error.
EFR when done right is always your best bet, and works 100% if your able to get to dl mode:
Hope this helps. Galaxynote2 toolbox link is in this thread:
