When I try to flash a new ROM using the Mirage updater, after I connect the phone to the usb cable, Mirage show me the message " PDA Device not found". I have installed all samsung modem drivers, i have no firewall or antivirus program and still does not work to flash a new ROM. This behaviour appeared after I flashed the i780_DXHC4_Rev12 ROM. If anybody had this problem, please advice me what to do next. thanks
no experts here?
no this happen. Are you using XP?
First and only time when I succeded to flash the ROM (DXHC4 version), it was on win2k3 standard..Since then, I have tried to flash the ROM on various OS ( vista, xp, win2k3, win2k8..) with the same result each time: "PDA Device not found"...
Make sure to connect the phone to the USB cable when the phone is completely OFF. (take out battery and put it back in)
with the turned out phone connected to the cable, press DETECT,
and only then power up your phone.
I know some instructions tell you to go into bootloader mode, but I found that this is enough to successfully flash my device.
Make sure you run on XP and not on Vista.
Hope this helps.
thank you for your advice..unfortunately, it does not work also..after I press Detect and turn on the phone, Mirage send me the same message: "PDA Device not found"...if you can help me with other instructions, i would appreciate

Does your device succeed in connecting to the computer using ActiveSync?
Try disabling ActiveSync USB connection or altogether.
If you only want to install the PDA part try removing the USB modem drivers,
you don't need them for PDA only.
Try a different USB port maybe, Or maybe another cable.
I'm at a loss here...
Hi on this forum too!
You need to already have an active activesync relationship with the device.
I can make file transfer and PC sync with the phone.
I tried every USB port to flash the phone. But nothing works, only 'PDA Device not found' message. I think there is no solution for this problem...

u have to load the modem driver which is for i600... i had the same issue but as soon as u load the modem driver it works fine..
and u have to take out the batt and put back the batt then hold enter and Fn button while u press the power button.. and hold till the device is booted in emergency mode... then connect your USB cable..
nothing works...
Try to update your usb drivers...
gOOndu is right you must have the correct USB driver to recognize your phone. This is not the modem driver. You can test this by disabling Active sync USB connections and plugin your phone. If it has the right driver it should state hardware found (name of your device) and then hardware installed and ready for use. If you get a hardware not recognized then the driver is not correct.
Hope this helps you.
The problem is not with the OS drivers, which recognizes my hardware device.Also, I am able to make transfers from the device to the desktop and viceversa. The problem is with the Mirrage Updater, after I press Detect and plug in the device, it can not see my pda anymore ( PDA Device not found message). The only time when I was able to flash my device ( with Mirrage) was when I upgraded to DXHC4 version. Since then, Mirrage can not find my pda anymore, altough I use the same (operating) system as when I succesfully flashed DXHC4...

Hi guys,
I am trying to flash a ROM following the steps in the first post of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388067 . I tried on Windows XP, Vista, 7 without any positive results. I installed the Samsung i600 drivers, started mirage, loaded the bin file in the PDA section, pressed detect, started the device using Fn+Enter+ON key, but mirage kept saying "PDA device not found". I tried the above steps in different orders,no luck whatsoever. I have the following 2 questions:
1. booting the phone in DETECT mode means that you get the message "Emergency mode - You must push Detect BUtton of the download application befor you connect the usb port".
2. Do you have another STEP-BY-STEP guide on how to do this? Or is there another tool besides Mirage (which in my opinion is quite old)?
Thanks a million.
Which USB connection do you use? Front panel? Use one which is connected directly to the mainboard (on the back).
There is an i780 flashing guide available. I cannot find (or post) the direct link but it acknowledges this original post.
I spent several hours at the weekend trying to find a way of flashing my phone including installing virtual PC, etc, etc.
Eventually I found this to my relief and it worked for me in Win7:

PLS HELP!!!!!
I too am having real trouble in getting Mirage to detect my Phone in Emergency Mode!
Windows Mobile device center connects fine but that's all,
for that I used the Samsung_USB_Drive_MCCI_4.34_WHQL_v3.4
In device manager there are no 'unknown' hardware devices to update with
i600 drivers?
In device manager/Mobile devices it says Samsung MITs USB Sync
Could someone plz post i600 drivers that have been used successfully in ROM flashing the i780
Thanks
Huhu,
i have issue with my usb connection.
If i connect it to the laptop it say Unknow Device (error code 43). Then it only charge.
I looking up the internet for 2 days now.
Someone said Unknow device is always a driver problem.
Found some driver called samsung/sgs2 driver. But that wasnt working.
Debugging modus also not help me.
Maybe someone have an other idea?
Try this
1. Turn off phone while still plugged in to your computer
2. Press Volume Button Up and then Power button to turn it on in bootloader/or recoverymode
3. You should hear a typical usb connecting sound. (if not you can unplug and plug the usb until you hear it)
4. Unplug it to hear the usb disconnecting sound.
4. Restart your phone and then allow it to turn on as usual, allow it to load everything before.. doing #5
5. Try plugging it in and test.
i tested it but not get a sound.
bootloader say waiting for usb ;/
Uninstall any previous drivers you installed and install these. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
They worked for me.
These are the drivers i already tried.
But they not work for me ;/
If you're laptop is Windows:
-install Samsung Kies....after that, plug your Glide, there should be a prompt "Installing device drivers" and/or "Searching Windows update..." Wait for that to be done and you should be able to connect.
Same thing with MAC,
I tried that befor but not work ;(
Does i have a chance to flash the phone without usb?
can i install CWM withouth odin?

I have the same situation with my glide. But the problem was miserable. Once i've changed USB cable, everything became OK for me (other phones work good with old cable).
Try this. Maybe it could help
Hi Guys,
Any help would be great! i do have google talk if anyone is willing to help me out!
My R800i Is rooted and has a version of recovery but not sure which version, i am wanting to update my phone with a better kernel and rom since the current one i have installed is giving me issues ( not being able to receive incoming calls for example )
Another problem is i reformatted the phone since i was having issues with receiving calls but now when i connect my phone to ANY computer via the USB cable the computer trys to install MTP or MSC driver ( depends on which connection type i select ) the Installer fails and i cant even take any files off my phone.
Provided details below. i want to somehow get into the current bootloader and install the ROM thats on my SD card! i do have flashtool installed and Android tool SDK installed but still no success in phone wanting to talk to my laptop.
I am running windows 7 64 bit. i am starting to think the phone is belond repair since i cant get any software to work between the phone and computer.
does anyone know what buttons i need to push on the Xperia Play to enter into the boot loader, i have tried pressing the back button and search button on phone boot but nothing happens apart from the phone starts up normally.
would a factory reset delete the boot loader and other config-ed software off the phone is this why i cant enter the boot loader or am i not pressing the right buttons on boot.
Any help would be really appreciated!

If you want to change the kernel you must unlock your bootloader. If your Xperia Play is a SIM free one, you can do it for free in this link: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
For SIM locked devices I think you must find another ways to do it. There are some online sites that unlock bootloader to SIM locked devices for a fee.
Once you have unlocked your bootloader, turn off the phone, hold on the search button, plug the USB cable in the computer, release the search button (power button LED will be blue) and install this driver: http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownload/Google-USB-Driver-Revision4-Download-139077.html
Now you are ready to flash any kernel you want with Flashtool or any other app.
Thanks for the information, i have already done this, i payed £25 for a guy on this forum to unlock my phone to any network. i'll give this a try and get back to you, problem is the phone doesn't like to talk to my laptop via USB cable keeps on failing to install the drivers..
Thanks for quick response.

I have tried what you said but having problems with connecting my phone to my Windows 7 Laptop!
Check your device manager. The fastest way to open it is running this command: devmgmt.msc
There must be some kind of Android device while your phone is connected in fastboot mode. If you see it, update its driver with the Google USB driver v4 pointing at the folder path with the uncompressed files.

Hi I tried what you said, i Turned off my phone and holded the search button and turned it back on, the light went blue and the computer popped up trying to install fast boot i point to the SDK folder to update the driver but it fails.
do you have google talk might be easier on there to talk! cheers!
I'm not using gtalk atm. Sorry.
Be sure the driver you downloaded is named usb_driver_rev4.zip: http://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=139077&t=4&i=1
If Windows doesn't detects any driver in that uncompressed folder, you can choose to select the device from a list, point to that folder and force to install the driver. It's named something like Android ADB Interface.

Thanks for the download link, i going to try this in a bit and get back to you! thanks for the support guys! :good:
Just tried, i put my phone into Media Transfer Mode.. my computer tried to install the MTP usb device and i directed the installation to the driver you linked..
Update Driver Software says: the best driver software for your device is already installed MTP USB DEVICE, there is a small yellow triangle on the icon and in MTP USB Device Properties it says: This device cannot start. (Code 10)
i need someone to Teamviewer with me, for the record i don't have the Sony Ericsson software installed on my Computer because that still wont install the drivers for my phone, i also know its not needed for installing new kernel and roms.
i tried connecting this phone to a bunch of pcs including my friends and it still fails to install any drivers!!! i think i am just going to bin this phone! i have had enough (
You must install that driver when you plug the phone in fastboot mode. It shouldn't work in any other case. In other words, when you plug your Xperia Play being powered on and Android is running it needs one driver, and when you boot it in fastboot mode you need other driver.
Please, install the driver following the steps previously posted with your phone in fastboot mode (blue LED).
Hello, i put my phone into fastboot mode, my device manager shows 1 device not installed S1Boot Fastboot, i right click go to properties and click update driver...
then i browse my computer for driver software i point the location to usb_driver_rev4\usb_driver and it says: Windows was unable to install your s1Boot fastboot!
Ok, let's see...
Try to update the driver using the "choose from a list" option to force the installation, point to the driver folder and select "Android ADB Interface" from the list. If Windows shows a warning message don't worry about it and go ahead.
i tryed this and its not wanting to work (
Sorry to hear that because I don't have any more ideas for your problem.
Maybe you may spend some minutes searching in the forum to find some detail that can help you.
i need someone with teamviewer to help me go though the setup process again, if anyone is willing to get my phone working i will happy pay them some money!
Thanks Jcarbox for all your support!
Regards
Paul
I just check the Windows device manager with my phone plugged in bootloader mode and it appears as Android Bootloader Interface, so this is the device you must choose from the list when you install the driver.
Hope this helps you.
thanks for the help, to bad my phone isnt having any of it.. just going to buy another phone (
This may work

hi PsychoShaft,
I had similar problems. I don't know how to fix it permanently. but i do this to make it work for some time.First, download flashtool and install it.Open your device manager and select view->show hidden drivers.Then, delete all your drivers related to xperia play. like the adb interface, semc flash ,etc. All of them in all categories. then reboot your computer into safe mode with administrator and connect your device with flashtool running in your windows in safe mode. then the flashtool will indicate that you don't have the drivers. then,open the drivers folder in flashtool and use the setup to install arc-play-...,flashmode drivers and fastboot mode drivers.then after the installation is over windows will ask you to reboot.now reboot with your mobile connected. after boot windows will automatically install the drivers. then unplug your phone and turn off it and connect in flash/fastboot mode.it will automatically install drivers.wait for windows to say drivers installed successfully or installation failed. don't unplug it in the middle of the process then you will have to start from first.sometimes it will not work in the first time ,then reboot into safe mode and try again installing the drivers and rebooting into safe mode itself and connecting your device.at one point of time flashtool will say your device is connected in flas/fastboot mode.then continue with flashing
Gladwin.
Thanks for the support guys i managed to solve the issue!

Hello, I'm the new guy, kind of (I'm new to this forum but somewhat a technological handyman, so to speak).
I had recently obtained a Samsung Galaxy Ace II, everything was going good on the phone, hell, it's what? Two years old now? Anyway, I noticed the immense trouble I've been having trying to get several Windows PCs/laptops to detect anything from the phone, no driver updates, installations, not even from the trustworthy SAMSUNG Kies application. It is becoming a real problem as I really want to keep this phone, root it, installing several ROMs as I go along, but no, the computers won't even allow me to access the contents of my SD card through USB.
(Note: I have manually downloaded and installed SAMSUNG USB drivers and pooft, still nothing!)
I have tried quite a few methods to allow the PCs to establish a connection with the phone e.g. Dialing "*#7284#*, accessing "PhoneUtil", choosing "PDA" as the good mode, even switching to "MODEM" then back to "PDA"; Uninstalling/Reinstalling drivers; Attempting Kies.
I guess I am on the look out for a new-ish phone to replace this, which saddens me as I love being able to root, install various ROMs, Kernels etc, personally I like this phone too, more than my Spica running ICS (couldn't be too hard though, it wasn't stable whatsoever).
If anyone on this board could find a solution to this problem for me, I would be ever so grateful, I don't doubt it though, I love the work of XDA. Thank you.
Turn off the phone with no cable attached, press volume down, home and power at the same time and then volume up to put it in ODIN mode and connect it to the PC (use windows vista or newer so it auto installs the driver) It should install something like Samsung USB serial device. Tell if it works
Do I have to load it into ODIN mode whilst Odin is running on my PC?

For this test you dont need ODIN on the PC. Its only to see if the PC recognizes the phone

I just tested this and it appears not to be working, whatsoever. Is it necessary to have all SAMSUNG USB drivers installed on the PC?
Thank you for the idea, though. I just really want to root/mod my phone, ugh.

Windows should auto install the drivers. Connect the phone to the PC and see in device manager if there is something like an unknoen device or Samsung USB device

Thank you for the help, although my problem is not dealt with still. I have completed the steps that you had suggested, thoroughly and repeatedly, yet there is no hope for a permanent, or even temporary fix for my mobile.
Windows isn't displaying any correlation between my PC and phone, no driver software auto-installs and no sign of the device being located in the Device Manager, not even under an "Unknown device".
Is this a problem for most Ace II devices? Or am I missing something that is too obvious to consider so seriously?
Porobu once told me something like:
1. Uninstall kies and sammy usb drivers
2. Install kies again, it should promt to install USB drivers.
3. Plug in phone to pc in DL mode.
I'm not sure what you mean in your 1st post so im assuming you have yet to try this. Works for me
When do I plug the USB into the phone and boot my phone into download mode? As soon as the drivers are installed via Kies?

After kies installation complete(dont have to open), boot phone to download mode, connect to cable and plug to pc
It sounds like a broken microusb port but try something first.
Download ubuntu or any other live cd linux distro
Boot it on your pc. You dont need to install anything.
Open a terminal
*Plug the phone while it is turned on to the PC
Write in the terminal 'lsusb' without the quotes and press enter
Something like Samsung android device or MTP device should appear.
If it doesnt appear power off the phone and go to odin mode and repeat from the * the steps
Hi everyone,
My zenfone 2 ZE551ML is bricked, so i followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
The problem comes when i arrived to the step of IntelSoc:
I install it, no problem until here, i got IntelSoc driver in my device manager .
But when i want to have the MOOREFIELD driver, I cant get it. Following this perfectly
Ash back to the Zenfone 2, shutdown, press simultaneously the key "source" + "volume +", of course you will see a screen hanging cables( I don't have hanging cables though, I just have the Logo Asus and write on the top in blue Fastboot mod !!!).
-Connect to your computer via USB cable, to standard Intel SOC driver position, wait a few seconds if the current add an item immediately below another MOOREFIELD new devices is successful.
-If You have not been, the test performed as follows: turn off the machine, plug the cable into the computer, press the power button until the device vibrates slightly, then release.
If you have an idea can you help me please. I think this is the only thing who blocks me in repairing my phone...
Thank you
Yea that problem also persists with my zenfone 2,cant install moorefield 'cause pc cant recognize my phone. Somebody please help us out.

it is clearly instructed in that thread you mentioned. just keep few things in mind.. uninstall every mobile related driver before installing isoc. uninstall xFSTK tool if you already installed it before installing isoc. third as you are concerned about the line you mentioned morefield under intel soc. well during soc install you will see windows like attached below. at this stage you need to power cycle your device . ( turn off your device holding power button for 10 sec. then connect to pc and turn on. leave connected to pc and turn off again and turn on second time to make sure so driver are installed) don't worry if you don't see morefield under soc now. just go ahead and install xFSTK. now your concern that your device don't stays in morefield download stage ( i mean it appears in device manager and disapear) . after installing xFSTK. run it as administrator and load files. and change gp flag value. also change device detection timeout to 120. now click begin download it will start waiting for device. now turn off your device completely and connect to pc and turn on. xFSTK will force it to stay in required mode. if download do not starts. just power cycle the device while being connected to the tool.
( note: it is strongly recomended that you install isoc and connect mobile before installing. if you have already installed xFSTK then plz uninstall it and install it after performing above said steps. remove all other mobile related drivers also and if you are using windows 8 or 10 disable driver signature enforcement again even if you did it earlier)
The problem with asus flash tool solved
Solution : Open device manager i.r. Windows + X .... if your phone is not being detected... switch it on and off ... there will be ( other devices menu ) that will show your phone there..
right click on the phone , click update drivers, ofcoarse no drivers online, locate the drivers manually , wherever your bootloader file is i.e. the 1 gb file you download or the raw file as we can speak ... i didn't pin pointed it ... my file was on the desktop so I just chose desktop and it searched it and installed it.
After that the phone was successfully in the computer and being detected by the flash tool.
