everything was working normal before, and i wanted to instal new rom , so i deleted the old one and now i can t conect to pc and instal new rom.
When i plug the cable while phone is of the red light comes it means that it is charging so the cable is working.
when i go to recovery red light stops and i can t conect with pc it was working before and now it is not.
Did i bricked my phone?
i know i m in wrong post and multiposting but i nead this fixed now.
i nead to use phone now, i can t wait to buy adapter
I think you're asking this in the wrong place mate, either way, here goes my help lol.
If the cable is connected to the computer, you should have a recovery menu, on "Advanced" or "Mount" (not sure now) you have a "mount usb "option, that way you'll be able mount usb drive on your computer and move the new rom there. Next, you can flash it

i have try that it is not working
You have selected "mount usb" on that same menu? No drive showing up on Windows? Even hidden one? (you can check under control panel - administrative tools - computer management - disks and see if there's nothing there, sometimes they aren't mapped).
You can also try to use a usb card reader and read the sdcard elsewhere.
There's a way to do these kind of stuff, either way, your device is far from "bricked", you just have no rom.
Ext recovery (a different recovery from CWM) could help you in this scenario as well, but I don't have much experience with those as well.
Ask the question under "Q/A" on the same Desire thread, I'm sure someone will come up with a working resolution for you
Good luck.
LoL ?
U have recovery -> Good
1. Turn of phone
2. Open it
3. Remove Battery
4. Remove SDCARD
5. Plug SD to PC (adapters are cheap , and 90% new laptops have crd readers)
6. copy desired rom on SD
7. Boot recovery , vipe all , install room , reboot.

thanks but i nead this fixed now i nead to use phone now, i can t wait to buy adapter, so if you have eny other sugestion
if u dont have anything valuable on SD , try reformat it from recovery and than mount it.
Or you could just go into Recovery -> Mounts -> Mount USB storage ?
use it wireless if u cant wait to buy adapter hah
and read the manual dont be lazy u have everything on the forums

By the looks of it, CWM.

Jokes aside, I was once with his panic. Lucky enough I found an adapter lying around.
So I guess it worked out somehow for you Petaa?
i don t know whay but my pc sometimes recognise phone and sometimes don t , most of the time i can t conect pc with phone.
It was not like this before.

My screen died on me last night. I was just about to send it in for repair. The problem is im not using the orginal rom and i need to flash it first. Only thing is, i cant get it to Active Sync mode! The screen barly responds with the pin when use it to drag up and down.
¨
But of course when the pop-up asking me to use disk drive or active synd pops up it doesnt work at all. For some stupid reason even the wheel wont respond in that menu. Is there anyone who knows how to manage to get the phone in to active sync mode? Really need som help here :/

You could try to flash through bootloader,switch on your phone,press soft reset and volume down
then start flashing like usual
Well, the problem is the original rom is in a installer so i cant access the files and place them on the phone. Anyone knows of a software that extracts the files from the installer?
EDIT: Nevermind, just realized i can use winrar for that. Now on to the next quiestion, there is one .nbh-file but it wasnt called DAIMIMG.nbh but it shouldnt matter if i rename the file? The question though is how do i get access to the internal storage when the phone isnt in activesync? It seems i only can access the other larger storage.

As i said before you can flash without using active sync through bootloader launching the RUU (the installer)
Or you can rename the file to diamimg.nbh paste it in the larger memory and press soft-reset + volume down + back and after some second you should press power button
nope, doesnt work. as i know the daiming.nbh HAS to be in the root of the internal storage. i dont have any micro sd memory or reader as well :/
its seems my only option is to find someone that does have a micro sd reader to go that way.

The problem is that the diamond can't read sd card or micro sd.
But if you open the phone and you connect it to usb it should be mounted as Mass Storage and you could put the diamimg.nbh
Cant read? But iv'e seen plenty much threads about using micro sd cards to boot from. And no, it doesnt. Even you keep the usb cable plugged in when booting it doesnt try to load anything from the larger part. I guess you never tried yourself?
can anyone else confirm this?
While I was running the recovery with my laptop through a dos shell to run a fix for a ROM it started to go a little haywire and start choosing things without me pressing buttons. So, I think it might have chosen the "USB-MS toggle" but the rest worked fine during the wiping and flashing the market fix, but rebooting the phone the sd card was not recognized. Then when i would try and go into recovery since then (even after getting the SD card re-recognized by the phone after downgraded to the PC36IMG) when i go to reboot into recovery I cannot get the recovery mode to start as the device is not connected to my PC.
Further, when I plug my phone into the computer it does not even seem to know it is connected to a computer because it does not bring up the "connect as" box (and yes i have the ask me checked) and does not even seem to charge while phone is on (also tried more than one cable)
Mainly would like to know if there is a way that i can copy the files onto my SDcard directly from my PC (by putting the sd card in an sd card reader) so that I can run the recovery menu on the EVO without the laptop?
Thank you for your help anyone as I am quite stressed and upset at the moment!

sounds like you need to uninstall your htc sync and re install it to get the drivers back
Did that already. Will try again
Might help to post in the questions section not development section?
Sent from my Evo using the xda app.
adbWireless would probably be another solution.. if you have a wifi network at home
Thanks for the input all...actually seemed to have a PC36IMG that I reverted back to which did not have the ability to connect but with the help of one of the ROM developers here (vaelek) I was able to solve the problem and get it up and running again!!!!
Will certainly go to the question section next time Tejas, thanks!

I recently rooted my Dinc. I had no problems, had full functionality. Then i wanted to download a quick rom just to make sure it worked; jager rom. After downloading the rom i unplugged safely removed my phone from my pc. I plugged it back in but now i can't access my sdcard. Dont get any notifications on my phone asking whether i want to charge or switch to hard disk etc. etc. I then went to "connect to pc" through my phone settings to set default connection to hard disk, but still nothing. I then went through cmd promp on computer and adb reboot recovery. From there i wiped my memory, cache, and then the dalvik cache. Still nothing and still running the jager rom. Ne one have ne suggestions, been through this, know how to fix it help would be nice. I have full functionality of my phone. Just can't connect to pc.
Most likely your sd card died. It happens. Try it in an adapter in a PC flash card reader. Oh, btw prob wrong forum.
It would still ask what you want to do with a dead sd. The rom should also tell you no sdcard found or bad card.
Reboot to recovery and try to mount usb that way. If that doesn't work, reboot your pc, it happens sometimes to me and just needs a reboot to fix it.
Furthermore, if you're able to use adb, then you are indeed connected to the pc. Don't do the safely remove hardware next time. Just switch the connection type in your phone to charge only and unplug.
Also.. yes, wrong forum.

I hate to be that guy, but i have tried searching the forums and have had no luck...
Basically while flashing CM10 I screwed up and installed the wrong Gapps pack (never trusting goo manager again)
I got stuck in an endless boot cycle (saying 'installer has stopped' on boot, not allowing any actions)
I did a wipe before attempting to restore... and then my backup was gone.
So now I'm stuck with either attempting to restore to stock (which I'm ok with, I think this is not really my game) or going to a custom rom.
But right now I have no OS installed and my computer will not recognize the device. I have tried kies, installing / reinstalling sammy drivers, and i still can't get anything to appear except for a cd drive.
I have tried on windows xp pro, xp media edition, windows 7 home, same result.
I can still boot into download mode and recovery (i have TWRP as my recovery)
but again, i somehow wiped my backup, i can't get my computer to recognize i have a phone, and i don't have access to an SD card port.
If I get an micro sd card reader, would that give me the ability to copy the rom zip file?
I would really appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
Help! is there any way to fix my phone?
EDIT: MY PROBLEM WAS I had just recently installed a 64gb microsd card, and it was not formatted correctly... ended up getting the correct version of Gapps and a stable version of cyanogenmod (10.1) and installing them onto my girlfriends SD card (which was only 32gb and formatted correctly). I went to walmart and got a SD card to USB adapter for $8, loaded the zips onto that, and flashed them very quickly and easily through TWRP.
Not sure if it makes a difference but I flashed CM FIRST by itself, then after that booted up all nice and happy I went back and flashed Gapps (because without google what are you supposed to do? use it as a phone!? )
and everything installed perfectly and without a hitch.
Thanks for the quick help everyone!

Your not bricked at all, you just have no os.
In twrp make sure your looking at the external sd card foe your backup. And yes if you can get a micro sd card reader/adapter, you should be able to copy a rom file to it.

Re: [Q] soft bricked, but not able to connect to computer
You could also just put the sdcard in another phone and access it on your computer through THAT one
But yeah, as said above, you just have no OS.

Re: [Q] soft bricked, but not able to connect to computer
Thanks guys. I ended up using an SD card adapter, and loading the zip onto that.
Feel kinda silly for not thinking of that before.
Finally got CyanogenMod to load though!I tried it before only to get that installer has stopped error.

Help on the way
THERE IS 2 WAYS TO FIX IT.
1. POWER OFF THE DEVICE ONCE IT IS POWERED OFF FULLY HOLD THE BACK BUTTON WHILE HOLDING IT PLUG IN USB CABLE AND FLASH DOOMKERNAL AND THEN I RECOMMEND YOU SHOULD PUT DONUT HD ON THE SD CARD THEN. UNPLUG USB AND THEN POWER ON DEVICE ONCE YOU FEEL IT VIBRATE RAPIDLY PRESS BACK BUTTON YOU SHOULD BE ON CWM THEN INSTALL ROM AND YOUR SET.
2.DOWNLOAD Sony PC Companion AND THEN CONNECT PHONE THEN GO ON REPAIR PHONE AND IT WILL TELL YOU THE REST.
NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL NO MORE CM IT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE THE WHOLE PHONE DIDN'T WORK GOT STUCK ON BOOTCYCLE
ANOTHER NOTE: IF WIFI DOSEN'T WORK JUST DOWNLOAD WIFI MODULS HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253853 JUST SCROLL DOWN UNTIL IT LOOKS LIKES YOU FIND THE WORD NEW.
OVERCLOCK MAY NOT WORK. RECOMMENDED IS NOT CLOCKED.
3.I RECOMMEND REPAIR IT WITH SONY PC Companion THEN ROOT IT AFTER ROOT JUST PUT CWM AND THEN PUT DOOMKERNAL AFTER THAT FLASH DOOMKERNAL THEN GO INTO CWM AND THEN PUT DONUT HD INSIDE AND YOUR SET.

Hey whats up you guys!
I just bought a Xperia Play and a have a problem...
The SD was working fine, i had tested two of them. So i plug the phone on the computer to access the SD and surprise, surprise, nothing happened. I mean, the battery was recharging but the PC do not find the Phone/SD and the Phone do not recognize USB mode or something like that, it was just recharging. Then, from out of nothing, the phone stop recognizing the SD. When i try to mount it, it works for a couple of seconds and then the phone unmount the SD.
I have formated both SDs to Fat, Fat32 and NTFS but still dont work.
Any ideas about what is this?
Thank you very much!
Update: After several "factory reset", Xperia Play is mounting the SD card, but USB still doesn't work.
try this

Enable USB debugging and check your drivers on your PC.
Also if you have modded your phone you might have to reflash your recovery image because it sounds like a driver problem.

I've tried in "USB Debug" but still doesnt work. And what drivers should i check for? I dont think the problem is in my PC cause i have tried in another one.
The thing is i bout this phone from a guy so it isnt new, but i dont think it was "modded" - at least doesnt seem like it was.
And lets say that i would have to reflash it, how would i do it without USB?
Thanks!
sounds like it might be broke

This will be a problem cause there is none Sony's authorized place and the others are not that good. I guess i will just return the phone :/
Anyways, thanks for your support!
Before you return it just download PC companion and install it then plug in the phone and see if it is recognized then and if not then yea probably hardware problem

yup pc companion worth a try
If that dont work try this. Power the phone off and hold the back button while connecting it if it does it would confirm its a software problem.
I had tried with PC Companion and it does not work either :/
So... I turned the phone off and connected it pressing the back button. Something different happened... The screen dont turn on. I mean, the light on the power button gets on but the screen do not. Anyways, the PC still dont recognize nothing.
As i said i have tested other cable and other PC but this other cable is from Lumia 710. Both are micro-USB but Lumia's dont have that thing near to the connections. I have also tested the Sony Ericsson's cable on Lumia and it works fine. But anyway, is there any chance of the problem be the cable? I have found a thread with a problem like this and the guy have tested other "working" cable and it still doesn't worked but when he tried a third cable it worked.
Its pretty weird that in whole internet there is so few problems like this lol
And again, thank you all for the support!
Edit:
I check out the "liveware" when i plug the phone into computer and it recognize as charger.
By the way, my device have Android 2.3.3. Shouldn't it have Android 2.3.4?
try doing this, mount the sd card. right click on my computer select > manage> choose storage>disk management. now look for your sd card space,(eg. if ur sd card is 8gb then look for a space or disk showing 7.45GB or whatever u card size is) right click and select change drive letters and path, now select add and assign a letter from the list for ur drive and now ur sd card must be visible.

Have you tried accessing the connectivity settings on your phone maybe auto mount has been switched off so either turn it back on or click mount if not try media transfer mode. If none of these work there is a fault possible software or hardware. Also make sure liveware is not set to charge only when connected to the computer

You mean in "Sony Ericsson/connectivity"? If yes, there is no such thing of auto mount in my device. And about Liveware, i cant find this option of "charge only". I have tryed mtf mode, but doesn't work either.
Anyways, i dont think is a configuration problem cause i have wiped the phone several times.
About a "software problem", would be possible to fix it have said that the computer dont even know that the device was plugged in?
Thank you guys!
