Hey there
Recently my one v-s usb port decided to break.. it charges but dosent find any computers etc.. so i cant reflash any ruu-s to take the phone to warranty
so i guess i'm stuck without data cable
My question is that would this work for flashing kernels i'f i'm able to get adb over wifi.. found these lines in another guide for another phone
(running cm10 and i want the latest hellboy)
adb push boot.img /sdcard/download/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/download/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
or any other ways?
Thanks!
I don't think that you can flash a kernel without a data cable

I'd see if you can get a warranty repair. Your gonna have a bad time if you can't connect to the computer. Did you try connecting to other computers with other data cables to see if your setup is the problem?

yes, i tried several different computers and 2 different data cables. The phone just charges .. but no data
it worked fine a day before (have been running cm10 with the same kerner for a month atleast) so its definetly a hardware problem (maybe a small one?)
i'm quite sure i wont get warranty because i cant relock my bootloader/get sence rom
for samsung galaxy gio the roms used to include kernels in the cwm zip files... i was hoping its possible to do that with a htc too
thanks for the replys!
Only s off devices are capable of flashing kernels via recovery......welcome to HTC paradise LOL

Never experienced it myself, but this sounds like you have USB bricked your phone. Try to follow the steps outlined in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639

If you are running CM& (AOSP built rom) then it is normal that HTC Sync no longer works.
You say that ADB doesn't find your phone? have you checked that USB debugging is turned on?
Ok, I have win7 and cannot root with my comp. I spent weeks trying to get it to work, and I gave up. At the time, I had an older machine with XP, and was able to root my phone via that older machine. Since then I have moved and that comp is in storage.
I'm getting all kinds of errors and the phone keeps shutting off constantly (currently running srf) and I have tried to wipe and reinstall many many times.
Being that my comp doesn't see my phone (only sometimes it sees it for storage, but that only happens WITHOUT debugging, and even then is hit or miss. I use wireless ftp for file transfers) I can't Odin and I can't root. I tried the "no computer" roots before, but it would never work, and I always had to use my older computer with XP.
Is there a ReRFS WITH root? I've searched and can't find one. I'd like to go back to stock w/ root so I can start flashing roms from scratch.
Sounds like the cable but wierd it works on old but not new I have heard that sometimes only certain usb ports on a computer will work something about being attached to the board or something So if using the stock cable replace that with something like a blackberry one and maybe try a different usb port on the computer

Thanks for trying to help, but I spent weeks trying to get it to work. I've tried every usb port (even the ones directly connect to the mobo)... I even went out and bought a new data cable.

Yes I do. Orange cwm.
DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.05.zip
"Flash this kernel to have root and busybox, this kernel has reboot recovery to cwm 3.1.0.1, and is ROM Manager compatible."
Does that kernel actually root the epic? If so, I could flash the ReRFS and then flash that for root ect.
I think so.
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
So i flashed the ReRFS and rooted with the DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.05.zip. Then flashed purple cwm and then flashed the srf rom again.
UPDATE:
I'm thinking I could download rom manager and use it to install the stock rom... but given the trouble that I had with flashing roms before:
(My phone had a working version of Axiom 2.4 on it. I decided to try to flash a few new roms (gummy, liquid, codename android) and all had the same issue, they would boot, go to the upgrading android screen, finish that and go straight to the homescreen without the "welcome to android/activating" screens, then freeze after 10 seconds requiring a battery pull. Sorta led to this mess)
I'm not sure its a good idea.
Any thoughts? I really just need to get rid of the lock on the splash screen.
I'm considering just letting it sit till an ota comes out and either A: relocks the phone so I'll return it, or B: effs it so badly I can return it.
Drop box + 4G can be an annoying workaround for usb functionality.
Having some trouble with the GNex.
I was stuck in recovery, now I have it booting with minimal apps in my nand of a stock rooted rom. (Minimal apps as in I have none of the system apps I uninstalled nor any user installed apps. Luckily I do have the android market)
However my underlying issue with the USB remains.
I am unable to connect it to a computer and have it recognized, whether the phone is booted (trying to mtp or whatever so I can see the files) or in adb or fastboot. The same error 43 comes across on both of my computers. The phone DOES charge via usb.
I'd like to return it to VZW claiming a broken usb, but the phone is still unlocked, and it shows the unlocked icon with the google splash screen. Is there anyway I can relock the thing and return it, or alternatively does anyone have any ideas on getting the usb working? I've tried both the pdanet method of drivers and the ones from the samsung site to no avail.
Thanks in advance!
You could try reinstalling the USB drivers. I'd suggest downloading pdanet on your computer and run the wizard.
Edit: I should have read your last paragraph. Sorry :/

Didn't seem to work but thanks for the tip!
On the Epic (SPH-D700), is it possible to flash a full modem (not a patch file) using CWM?
What I have in mind is over in the Epic Touch forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397954
I've also looked into Mobile ODIN, but there's no EPIC4G support (yet).

I'm searching for a way to reflash EL30 through CWM. (I've been searching for a few days now.) Thanks.

NO. It is not possible to access the modem section of our phone through flashing. The best we can do is flash a delta of the modem provided by Samsung. You would need to be on the required modem, in this case EC05 and there are flashables to add the delta to get you to EI22 and EL30. Our only method is Odin or Heimdall to change the modem.
Thanks for your reply. That's what I thought, but the info I found about the Epic Touch and Mobile Odin gave me some hope. Are my current options to wait for a new delta for CWM (and hope it fixes the problem) or visit a Sprint store for either exchange or repair? I'm tech saavy enough to get my hands dirty (hardware and software), so throw me every DIY option there is. lol

Okay
Odin/Heimdall is not an option for me at the moment. I had written why in the OP, but it seems to have been removed or I accidentally deleted it before posting. (Late night)

And you are on the EL30 now and think that it is bad?
If they release a new update it should contain a new delta but those are big "ifs". You need to get the USB issue working with Odin.

Yes and yes (a big if). Before flashing the EL30 modem using ODIN, my Epic was using the EI22 modem and the latest CleanGB Rom (MTD). I experienced no problems with this setup. After flashing the EL30 modem, the LED no longer works and the USB port doesn't work. (It will charge the phone, but it is not recognized as a media drive or by Odin/Heimdall when in download mode. Yes, I even tried Linux+Heimdall )
I have a second Epic4G which works flawlessly with EL30. I flashed the second Epic with the same EL30 modem file, so I know the file, the cable, drivers, etc are OK. For my first Epic, if the modem flash wasn't what caused the problem, then it may have been an hour or two after flashing the modem when I was tinkering by overwriting a system apk file (video enabled Gtalk apk). However, I have wiped clean and reinstalled CleanGB ROM using CWM and the problem still exists, so I doubt that caused the problem unless overwriting system files has some risk of corrupting different partitions.
I too have 2 Epics. One would connect and the other would not on a Gingerbread leak in mass storage. After Odins and reflashes it turned out to be bad drivers even though the other phone connected. So try reinstalling the drivers and just for kicks try a different cable and also try to connect to Odin with the battery out using the USB as power and putting it into download mode.

Good suggestions, however, I've already tried three different cables (The third cable is new and high quality), tried different USB ports on my PC (no hubs), tried different PCs, with/without battery in download mode, and I have reinstalled the drivers. (tried both 32 bit and 64 bit in Win7 Ultimate; no need for special drivers in Linux.) I will try all of this again when I have the time. Why would drivers work on one Epic but not another? Are Samsung phones known to have bad quality control? (voltage levels, etc should be within a certain tolerance.) My two Epics were bought new a month apart and the hardware versions are the same.

I racked my brain on the "why one should work and not the other" connecting. That is why I didn't try the drivers for days. Yes each phone can be that radically different. It looks like you covered all the bases. That only leaves possible dirt in your cable slot. You can also try restoring an old nandroid to see if that makes it start working.

Yes the voltage in download mode is different it could be the port on the epic is dirty or needs to be replaced. I forget the exact amount but if its not the exact voltage the pc won't recognise it nor will odin.

A nandroid restore didn't fix the problem. As a reminder, the LED also stopped working, so I'm not entirely convinced it is a physical problem such as a bad or dirty usb port. (If it helps, I found that the LED works for notifications but no longer lights while charging the phone.)

Okay i have seen similar posts around, and I apologize if this bothers anyone but when I post a thread asking for help, its because I've tried most solutions and have gotten nowhere. I recently bought one.of.these devices and I have to say for an old 1GHz device, its pretty darn smooth! (Got it for my girl who broke her phone. Cost $20 MINT screen, and some scuffs.on the trim believe it or not, fully functional, clean ESN)
I love for all devices in the house to be rooted and off that dreaded Gingerbread android. I have been stuck since i got it trying to use ODIN to flash CWM, and root it to flash a JB based rom. Problem is i installed the drivers, got the ODIN version required, have the CWM tar file, etc, the phone gets detected while on in ADB, normal file transfer way and so on. BUT Download Mode? Nope, i get the dreaded "Unknown Device" issue.
Now as I always read before annoying others, I read that switching the USB cable helps. I've tried 8 USB cables, and no go. 2 Samsungs (i read those are #1 NO GOs), 3 LG cables (device doesnt appear at all), and 3 non brand. No good.
I know Mobile Odin wont work, I rooted it using Framaroot.apk for now, but I need CWM for the rom flashing part.
So now that its 2013, is there really no other way other than ODIN? I tried using ROM Manager, it flashes but doesnt do a thing except boot into stock recovery (miracle no bricks or bootlooping). If I had Linux on my PC, will it get detected or its just the darn cable?
OR is there a specific USB cable brand I should go for that is guaranteed to work? I dont mind buying it just have been waiting to make sure.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank GOSH I read your response in time! I am currently at BestBuy and was going to buy a totally different brand USB. Hopefully they have them here.

I use this cable and have had zero issues. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
Well there's good news and bad.
Got an official BlackBerry USB cable.
Bad is the device is STILL not recognized.
The drivers have been properly installed, there is no updating the drivers manually, effing Windows won't let me. What the hell can I do now?
If only Mobile Odin worked, or there were other methods, I wouldn't be going thru this mess...
Like where did I go wrong?
I would swap out Windows to Linux, but I don't see how that will get the device detected.
Matter of fact I was trying to install a Linux based OS from my flash drivd, and it corrupted it. Theres 8gb Ill never see again...
Any other ideas? Will Linux pick up the device?
EDIT: This USB unlike the others BRIEFLY detects it as a USB Device, then goes back to unknown when I uninstall it thru Device Manager

Are you plugging into a port directly on the motherboard? (IE: A port on the back of the machine.) Using an emulated port or hub can cause this at times.
FYI, there are 2 drivers. One is for when the phone is fully booted in Android. The other is the driver when in download mode. Have you tried using another machine?

I think your issue is driver related. I had similiar issues and updated the wiki with the drivers that ended up working for me.
