Hey XDA world, a few years ago i got hooked up by a guy on here, we met up and he flashed my old Kaiser. I would normally do this myself but i now have a MAC computer and it does not recognize the files etc etc lame lame etc.
If there is anyone in the LA area that would like a nice warm pint of ale direct from England in exchange for a 6.5 ROM update I would be more than appreciative.
Thanks
I'm assuming you're talking about flashing HSPL? Certainly, you know someone with a Windows PC that can help you out? Otherwise, you're out of luck unless someone here volunteers.
If you've already flashed HSPL, then you're in luck. You can flash ROMs via MicroSD. The following is from the ROM flashing guide.
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
I'm using bootcamp
In order to flash my Rhodium, I'm using bootcamp with a Win XP installation and activesync method.
I tryied every possible virtualization available, none was able to flash my device.
PS: I used to use VMWare to flash my Omnia on Windows 7 64bits

Same here. I'm using a Macbook Pro, Boot Camp w/XP, Activesync. Works fine!
I'm using VMWARE's Fusion with XP to flash my device, been using this set up for quite some time.
Only issue i face is sometime it takes too long for XP to recognize the device when the RUU puts it into bootloader mode causing the RUU installer to time out and tell me theres an error. I just re-run the updater/installer and it all works fine

Where can I get the XP disks from and is bootcamp freeware on the Apple site?

Windows is not free software, you can't get discs legally without a license.

Hah, yeah. Windows XP is definitely not free. Bootcamp is no longer free; however, it comes installed on new Macs with Leopard or Snow Leopard.

When i bought my phone i was told that it was sent to them as a tester from HTC and that it had already been flashed HSPL, how do i go about checking this?
As my topic says, when plugging in the USB to the computer the phone starts charging, but no USB connection to the actual computer. I tried with debugging on and off, tried with several ROMs but nothing changes it.
I tried to connect another phone thorugh the cable and that works fine so i know its not the cable thats the problem.
The version im running now:
Baseband version: 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version:2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3.DesireHD
Anyone got any idea and wanna help me?
goto setting>Connect to PC> and make sure "Ask Me" is ticked.
Im guessing that it doesnt ask you what you want to do and the phone by default charges i.e "Charge Only"

Do you not even get the icons in the notification bar?
If you're using Windows, have you got the drivers installed (sorry, I don't use windoze so I am unsure if you need them for this but seems to be a common issue)?

Well i have tried both doing "adb shell" with debugging on and then it says "Device not found", and tried to mount is as an USB disk to the computer and nothing happens.

I get the USB icon in the notification bar, but thats all. Yes, i have tried both with windows drivers and without (Cause it wanna install the drivers when they arent there), but nothing happens either way.
I even tried the phone to another computer and its the same there.. no reaction, so i think it´s something in the phone or kernel?
You could try reflashing the ROM without a full wipe (wipe Cache though). I doubt it's an inherent bug with ROM / Kernel otherwise there would be a flood of similar posts (checked nightlies as well).
I have already tried that with 3 different roms and its the same with all 3 roms

So that rules out problems with ROM or Kernel.
Next, need to rule out PC. Have you got another PC or laptop you can try?
Have you tried different USB ports (if using front ones, use back or any others that are on a different MB header).
Forgot to ask, when you say you tried mounting as USB Disk, do you mean you do get the option if you press the Charge Only icon in the notification bar of the phone?
And also, to rule out the SD card, do you have a card reader you can try it with?

Yes.. thats how i tried to mount it as an usb disk... i have tried mounting it in Clockwork Recovery Mod aswell... nothing there either :/
Not looking good!!
Last hope then is that it's a problem with the sdcard itself. Do you have a card reader on any of your pc's / laptop you can try?
Nope, no card reader. But i can send stuff to the phones sd card through wifi using myphoneexplorer
How can i install stock rom and kernel through clockwork? Or any way without having usb connection?

Unless the ROM you want is listed in ROM Manager and the Kernel in Kernel Manager (neither of which are fantastically up to date) then you will need to either find another way to get them on your SDCard or visit the the XDA site in a browser or XDA App, find the files you want and download them directly to your phone via the ether. You should then move them to the root of the sdcard and use Terminal Emulator to check the MD5SUM of the file before flashing.
well.. getting the files to the sd card is no big problem using myphoneexplorer over the wifi at home. but where can i find the stock rom with any mods that i can put on the sd and flash with clockwork mod?

Which stock ROM are you looking for? If it's the stock HTC OTA Gingerbread one them here - http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/
(Thanks go to @andyharney for that).
You mention stock with mods? Could you expand on that one and I'll get yo a link to the most appropriate ROM that suits?
Off topic: MyPhoneExplorer is great. Been using it since my early Sony Ericsson days - the original phone it was designed for, I believe.
Thanks alot mate!!
Only problem is that its and exe and i guess i have to use the usb to install those? :S
I meant Stock without mods ofcourse
I will check into that and install stock... i´ll update this thread with what i´ll try and how it works...

There's a PD98IMG version of an UNROOTED (you will lose root again) the Gingerbread ROM, give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can find it.
[EDIT] Sorry, a PD98IMG will allow you to copy to sdcard root, reboot into Bootloader and it will flash automatically.
[EDIT 2] - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13329691&postcount=96
They're Megaupload links though but you should be able to access them in browser. Take first link, rename it to PD98IMG.zip
Small Print: You do this at your own risk.
Thanks again.. will read up and see if i´ll do it
Hey guys
My first post
So i'm having the same problem. tried everything.
Any possible rom and nothing helps.
even the PD98IMG didn't help...
gave it back to the store, lets see what they have to say about it.

Has the phone gone yet or still in your possession?
i had rooted my htc one verizone than I installed the original htc recovery then the phone died....,autamitically rebooted over and over without an access to the OS or the booloader..
Somebody did for it a jtag, then it can boot into the boatloader but never identify the usb(2), so i cant install a custom recovery or get access into the phone, i tray reinstalling the latest htc driver but still no response,
Please help me to recover my phone
my phone is rooted and s-off
Best bet is to RUU to stock so you will get a working phone, then you can add the custom recovery, roms, ect.

Helo experts,,,, where are you... My phone is dying...
A usb otg cable allows you to attatch a usb flash drive to your phone. Rename the ruu zip to PN07IMG.zip and put it on the usb drive in no folders. Then attatch it to your phone and boot to hboot. Hboot will automaticly find the file and prompt you to install it.
You can also try using these drivers to get your pc to recognize the phone. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip
And here are all the available ruus for the verizon htc one. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/

Thanks dear,
I did as you describe in the otg method but unfortunately may phone shows no response at all.
I had already tried to solve all issues of drivers, but also this failed.
Could this be a hardware problem e.g. in the USB port or what??
Make sure the usb drive is formated fat32 and the file is named exactly caps and all PN07IMG.zip. If it still dosent work, its possible it has a bad usb port.

The USB drive and otg cable work fine in my galaxy note, the format is fat32, and the RUU name is exactly as you wrote, so I think the problem in the USB port unless you have another idea..
I would say more than likley its a bad usb port. Does the phone still charge?

Well its somewhat working then. I guess its possible that one of the data pins is messed up. Have you tried cleaning out the port? Not sure what else you can do without a working usb connection.
My LG E980 is bricked. I can access download mode and that is it! I am unable to boot into recovery,
and the hard reset screen simply sits there forever. My computer only recognizes my device as an "unknown usb device."
I'm unsure what can be done about this, but I feel like this is better than the infamous QHSUB icon displayed when the device cannot be recovered.
Does anyone have a remedy for this problem?? I have GOT to fix this phone and can't afford to Jtag the device, but I'm losing hope that this is possible, PLEASE help. :crying:
Have you installed the LG drivers for your pc and tried the unbrick method?
Yeah dude there's an unbrick method. If this doesn't work just sell the phone on Ebay. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
There is never a time when this device cant be recovered. even the qhusb is a fairly simple fix. ill go ahead and make a sdcard boot image tonight. do you have a 32gb sdcard? (or larger) and an sdcard reader, if you have those two things i can make an unbrick.img that you flash toi the sdcard and put in the non-booting phone and it will get you to download mode/recovery mode. ill have to check out what partitions are where as i dont wish to include my efs along with it all .

Happened to me.
1. With the phone on download mode and plugged in the computer; uninstall the unknown device on your computer using device manager. The computer should try to get the drivers for your phone.
2. If it doesn't. Repeat step one and install the drivers first.
That worked for me hopefully I'll work for you.

I do have a 16gb sd card, but I can pick up at 32 gb sd at my local best buy. I have an Asus laptop running windows 8 and it has an SD card reader. I am a little confused (semi-noob) as to how this will work because my phone will boot up, and the led changes colors on the home button for about 4 seconds and then the light stops flashing. The phone is stuck on the LG boot screen, and there is no way out of it but to pull the battery or to reset with power button. Of course no recovery as previously mentioned. I really just want to get back to stock, but I can't manage to get both the windows 8 computers I've tried to detect the phone in download mode. Ever since I switched to the Candykat rom 4.4 the computer wasn't able to recognize the phone, even when the phone was fully functional inside the rom.
I have tried it on my dads windows 7 laptop as well with no dice. Instaled LG drivers, uninstalled LG Drivers, uninstalled device from the Device Manager. I've done everything I could think of. I previously was in a Philz touch recovery, but every rom I tried to flash wouldn't work. I tried to flash another recovery from inside it and then the device bricked like it is now. What a head ache. If you think this method would work, I am more than willing to try it, just unfamiliar with what I need to do on my end.
Okay

I will give your method a shot, but I have done this a lot already. The only thing I can think of is I usually unplug the phone from the computer right after deleting the drivers and uninstalling in device manager. Maybe I should just leave the phone plugged in and see if the computer automatically downloads the drivers, but I don't think it will because I've tried to update the drivers before. It gives me an error code "10" and says the device has malfunction or stopped working This phone has been undetectable via USB since flashing the candykat 4.4 rom. Every computer I've tried (3) and every USB cable (3 again) has displayed it as an "unknown device"

I dont know lg's download mode, kdz, tot etc all that well. im more of a samsung guy. however qualcomm since the s4 chipset has allowed for sdcards that are properly formatted to boot the os instead of the internal emmc. here is a decent guide, just need to make teh image for this device. this will let your device boot no matter how bad it gets you are welcome to try with 16gb, the rule of thumb i know of is as big as teh emmc is use that same size or larger sdcard, however some people have had sucess withs maller, just not many that i know of. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367
however afaik the only way to reflash teh bootloader partitions is via kdz/download mode so perhaps the sdcard will let you get into that mode and then you can flash, so long as you keep your sdcard like that it will boot fully, but in order ot get your sdcard back you need to repair teh files on your phone .

Wow, that sounds awesome. I followed most of that. I access download mode on the device by pressing vol up and down simultaneously and plugging in the usb cable. I am more willing to try this, and if it works I will pay you from my paypal. I guess all I need now are those files to run to the sd card. I read the tutorial you posted for the samsung and downloaded the windows disk manager. I am eager to try this method, though it is admittedly very new to me.. If you can post those files, I will follow the instructions you give and pay you a little bit of money for your help!
I am a broke college student so it won't be much, but I really appreciate your response and information on this method with the qualcomm s4.
Here is the unbrick image. follow the guide for your platform (gunna guess windows) and write this to your sdcard after backing it up. from there you need to restore your partitions by flashing them .

Okay so I bought the 32 gb sd card. Just wrote the .img file you sent me to the sd card.
I powered on the phone and nothing happened, I got the same LG screen where the led flashes and then stops.
I followed that guide, but am I supposed to go to download mode instead of just powering on the device?
I got a little confused by the samsung jargon lol. I just want to know after I've written the unbrick.zip to the sd card
how do I get my phone to recognize the card is there? And once I am able to do that how do I "restore my partitions by flashing them?"
I do have the factory firmware set to flash through lg flashtool, but the phone can't be detected of course due to the usb issue.
Just want to say thanks for walking me through it this far, I feel like I'm close hopefully but unsure what to do next.

you wrote the image to the sdcard? i wonder if its because you still have the low level bootloaders that it may not be booting from the sdcard, normally this is done to fix qhusb errored devices. as for restoring the partitions all you would need to do is one its booted up push the unbrick image to the phone and use rooted adb shell to write it back onto your phone.
Possible hope??

I meant I used the windows tool to write the debrick.img to the sd card. But no dice, the device isn't recognised.
However! I installed a driver clean up tool and now if I plug in the device it is recognized as Android Original ADB Interface.
The LG Flashtools even says the port is ready! But I get the error code "10" "device cannot start, A request for the USB device descriptor failed."
So now I am stuck on that instead lol. This just sucks.
that sucks about the sdcard, it must be because you arent "truly" bricked. sorry i thought it would help ya :/.
What is the driver repair tool you used? I know this thread is old but I'm having the same problem. I was trying to root my E980 and now my computer wont recognize my device. The phone works perfect, its just when I plug it in to the computer it isnt recognized. How can I fix this?

Just wondering if anyone's come across a solution to this besides a sledge hammer... been having the same "Code 10: Device failed to start" when in Download Mode, though Windows finds a driver fine when the phone is stuck on the LG screen... doesn't help much, though, 'cause it won't receive adb commands. I manually installed the LG USB Composite Device driver, which added a modem and a COM port, both of which Windows recognized to be active, but the LG FlashTool USB Viewer showed no open pipes. I'm a relative noob, so please feel free to point out the obvious, like an alternative to adb that the phone can always receive or a way to brick it the rest of the way so the MicroSD trick will work.
I came across this problem like the OP and just wanna let everyone know that you have to use computer with USB 2.0 port then the driver issue would be fixed.
Hey all,
Just wondering if its possible to unlock the bootloader for the tablet ASUS RT TF600T I am trying to install linux. I have created a bootable usb but the tablet is ignoring my usb as the bootloader is locked.
Thanks

Be sure that your usb drive is formatted as FAT32 with UEFI support.

Just use Rufus to prepare usb, tick UEFI partition opion, then copy files.

Interesting ok thanks ill look into it. I assumed it wouldn't work as I thought it was locked to itself if that makes sense?
Boot from usb should works. On mine tf600tl works fine

With the UEFI parition yes? You didnt get any BSOD errors?
Im gonna make one in the morning and report back, are you being serious right now you have a working asus tablet and you have installed a different OS on it with UEFI.
What OS are you running on your tablet? Will windows 7 support UEFI partition as well? Also what about android?
Never heard about win7 on arm platform, there're win8 and embedded ported to arm cpus.
You've asked for booting usb with unlock files - there's no problem.
Ah ok I will try it and test the theory see how I go, if not ill either try an install linux or windows 8.
Just to get some OS on there I will be happy. Might even try and load android on there.
I cant believe something so simple can make it work. Ive looked online and read about Rufus I will test it out and report back.
Hey mate, tried to make a bootable USB with with windows 10 32 and 64bit ISO which came up with an error when I selected the settings to create a UEFI partition. It reverted the settings back and said "Error ISO Image Extraction Failure." Ive taken screenshots below so you can see whats going on.
I have googled the errors and they are suggesting either the USB is corrupt or the ISO is corrupt. But I can install windows from USB and DVD perfectly fine... this is weird. Ive found a youtube video online which shows you how to create a UEFI partition manually, rather than using a third party program.
Omg just format usb with Rufus, don't use ISO.
Ok so once Ive formatted the USB with the UEFI partition how do I get Put the ISO on the USB if im not using rufus to do it?
Are you talking about copying the asus recovery files? Because im wanting to install a different OS onto the tablet, with a UEFI partition.
Update
=======
Tried to boot the tablet with UEFI partition with windows 8, and same thing it completely ignores the USB and tries to boot into windows, which gives me the BSOD error.
You can't install other os.
What do you mean? You told me if I have UEFI partition I could install other OS...

If I cant install other OS why do you say this...
I didnt have to create a UEFI partition to use the recovery files. So ive wasted time creating one through RUFUS. I told you that I got a BSOD when trying to reset PC option...
Mate.. In the first post you've asked how to unlock bootloader, so you got answer how to make bootable usb drive for unlock files. At this moment it's impossible to run something else than Windows rt on tf600 series.
