Bricked? Wave I (8500)

Seems like my sister got her Wave bricked. Actually, she didnt do anything with it. Its just that the handset is stuck in a boot-loop. So my plan was to reflash FW. I can enter download mode. But when i connect it to a computer, it only gives the error message that the usb device has malfunctioned. I already tried my desktop and my laptop. Anything else I might want to try? Kinda lost here

Try to install Kies for the drivers.
Download any firmware you want and flash it.
Best Regards

Well, i have Kies already installed together with newest USB drivers. Still, it says that the USB device is not recognized because it has malfunctioned or so ...

[Q] [help] bricked?

I have searched the forum and used google, but i havent seen this question so i ask it here...
I have a phone in front of me that I rooted and unlocked the SIM, after that i gave the phone to my dad.. The problem comes now, he used samsungs FOTA and it failed.. Now the phone cant boot, and i cant get into recovery mode.. it tries update and gets to like 50% after that i get the msg "update failed 0x800000D1" if i remove the sd-card it just tries to look for it, and if i move the fota directory or the file 2400258.cfg, it just load for a second and then try to boot the ordinary way..
and the second problem is that i cant use odin because the computer wont recognize the phone not even with Kies or sammobile drivers so the download mode is gone to..

Before flashing Odin need to destroy all of the processes on the computer Kies.
Sorry for my english -_-

The problem is that the phone isn't recognized by the computer, been trying different drivers, so thats why i can't go that way. if i check in Device manager on the phone there is no ID for the phone so thats why it cant be used with the computer i think..

bump?

Try to install this drivers on your computer and then try to reflash a firmware with odin

[Q] unknown device

After install cwm 6, probably i got the wrong file or corrupt file then my phone cant boot to cwm mode, then i tried to flash with odin, it can boot to download mode but problem is PC through ODIN cant detect my phone, when i plug PC showed unknown device, i did install driver properly and its ok when i test it with other same galaxy W..
Now my phone cant start up, cant enter cwm, it can enter download mode but PC can detect the port..
need help guys thanks..
NOTE : PC can detect my phone when my phone is turn on but it just not work in download mode

If Im right understand, you plug phone to pc and open your device. Did you try opposite combination? I mean, first open your phone with download mode, then plug your device to pc. Maybe it works.

[Q] Galaxy Ace II cannot be detected by PC (XP/W7/W8)

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

Try to complete the KIES processes in the task manager.
Use another cable, other USB ports, or another computer.
