Hi Guys, hopefully someone can help me here it is driving me crazy - well, here is my issue.
Doesnt matter what PC I plug my HD into it doesnt get picked up, i looked in device manager and still nothing. Its like its not connected, but it shows on the phone that it is charging. And does charge.
Can someone please help?
Thanks!
Settings - Connection - USB to PC - uncheck 'enable advanced network functionality'
All that was there is ' Enable faster data synchronization '
No advanced network functionality. Im on Telstra NextG Network Australia with there crappy stock rom if that helps.
I'm looking at a stock Touch HD and you're right- they changed the name of the box. So uncheck 'enable faster data synchronization'.
I did but it is still not working.
I have also done a hard reset and restore to manufacturers default and still not working.
What kind of PC are you using? Is it XP? If so you need to download ActiveSync.
Using XP.. I have downloaded and installed Activesync. It used to be picked up on every pc and suddenly now it doesnt.
Opened Activesync ports in your firewall settings?
Yeah its all fine, its as though the PC doesnt even recognise it. Doesnt show up in Disk Management.
hi lucky
you're already the 3rd one with this problem.
if you plug-in the usb connector, is there a dialog popping up on your hd which let's you choose between synch or hd mode?
if not, welcome to the group of disapointed htc owners.
there is already a thread somewhere about this problem. i have exactly the same, but no one could help me until now.
at least i found a way to flash a rom. the usb connection was working for about 20 minutes. afterwards it broke down again...
try the following:
1. shut down hd
2. remove SD and Sim Card
3. plug in the usb cable
4. do a hard reset by holding vol up and vol down while you press the power button
5. confirm the hardware reset
6. when the hd is booting up again, it will do some kind of customization process. during this process active sync should come up on your pc. cancel the device setup in acive sync and wait until your hd is completely configured.
7. afterwards reconnect the usb cable and active sync should work for a while...
let me know if it helped. i'm still searching for a permanent solution for this problem...
Nope, didnt work at all.
Not even the choice to decide what I want to do pops up on the phone.
Do you think it could be a hardware fault?
I think it is a hardware fault because i did a SPL boot and instead of 'USB' showing in the white box "Serial" did.
It just seems wierd because it was working fine for 2 weeks and then it all the sudden stopped and I did no ROM flashing or anything.
Should I try reflashing my device through the SD card and see how I go from there?
did you try a different cable???
I have about 20 different USB -> mini USB and only about 2/3 of them work with phones !!!
Yeah ive tried all different cables, ive tried ones that work with my diamond but still dosent work with my hd.

Are you getting anything popping up in device manager when you plug it in, in other words does the list refresh like it has detected a new hardware device or is it completely silent? I have seen it a couple of times where a device gets stuck as being recognized as something else. If the list does scroll (responds to the HD being plugged in) do a screen shot of everything in DM then plug the HD in and compare the lists to see if it is showing up as something else. If so, delete the device then unplug and plug in the HD again and have it reinstall the driver.
Good luck,
Gordo
I did what you said Gordo, and it doesnt show up inDevice Manager. Its as though its not even plugged in but for some reason it still recharges off the USB.
I guess about the only other thing I can think of is to plug it in on another PC and see if that computer tries to load a driver. If it does then it is something strange with your computer. If it doesn't then there is something bad with the USB port on the HD (maybe).
Gordo
Yeah I tried that but still nothing, im sending it back to Telstra, since its within 14 days of me getting it I get a whole brand new one!
thanks for your help guys

I've had a lot of tablets doings stuff like this, my company uses them as "thin clients" so we mod them heavily. Try this:
1, Do a battery pull
2. Power on the phone, keep holding the power button
3. Listen closely to any kind of pop / click (caused by phone being switched off, this creates a power spike sometimes leaking onto speaker)
4. Connect to pc via usb
5. See if there's ANY activity on usb (in windows via device management)
6. Try to get into fastboot / restore RUU
Because of a modified kernel or rom the display driver might have gone pear shaped, this makes devices appear bricked.
Hope this helps, good luck

Well I tried to pull out and in the battery and I kept holding the power off button( i feel a vibration, but nothing happens). When i connect the phone my computer it says USB device not recognized or stuff like that, i cant connect it to fastboot.
Nice news

OK, so i succeded to plug in the phone into fastboot, but i still cant access my sdcard and that, its still says USB device not recognizable, but the LED is blue so its in fastboot, can someone tell me what to do now?
Been trying for hours now to try and sort out an issue I am having. My S4 is damaged, the phone works but the screen and digitizer is broken. I want to check a few sms messages, access and control the phone from my PC and basically make a complete clone/image of my phone. I cannot for the life of my figure out how to do this.
I use windows 7, I have installed SDK tools, have ADB/fastbook etc. Device isn't found with ADB. Spent hours reading information about installing correct drivers, which I have done. No luck what so ever. The phone is not rooted, developers tools is not on, usb debugging is not on either.
I am starting to think this is a lost battle as I cannot sort this out.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Bump.
Anyone? Is there no way to solve this problem? Tearing my hair out.
Best bet (given ADB doesn't work) would be to root the phone & get a custom recovery on (via Odin; this is might be very difficult if you can't somehow have the phone & PC recognise each other - you don't need to have had debugging on though) then do a nandroid backup (someone using the same recovery/version might be able to walk you through the button presses.
What S4 variant (model number) are we talking about ?

GT-I9505 is the model number that is displayed behind the battery. The screen is broke and so is the touchscreen (completely black). I tried to figure out via ODIN but that wouldn't recognise the phone either. I assumed you'd need to boot in recovery/download mode but because I cannot see anything on screen, when I do the volume down, home and power thing I do not know what to do next so the phone boots up normally. I know this because I have unread SMS and when phone loads my SMS tone goes off.
Really not sure how to get around this.
You're going to have to get it into DL mode somehow (don't need to use home button on S4, just vol down/power); try a jig. Once you've done that, then you need to get the phone & PC to recognise each other. If you're having problems with that, prepare to continue to do a lot more reading/trying stuff if you're having PC-side driver issues (there's a lot of threads on here re: the issue). There's also an 'Odin troubleshooting' guide in S2 General by Hopper8 which is worth looking at as much of the stuff he suggests also holds true for the S4 (except the firmware stuff, which is obviously different).
There's not going to be any quick & easy in this instance, I'm afraid. It's going to be hard work.
Edit - Also..USB board/port on the phone might also be damaged, so when you reach the point of having tried everything on the PC-side & everything you can possibly try on the phone-side, replace the USB board/port on the phone. This is quick/easy/cheap (<US$20) to do & might just enable you to get things done where everything else has failed.
Extra edit - And...A jig working (getting you into DL mode) or not is probably a good test of whether the USB board/port on the phone is still good; I.E if the jig works, the board/port is probably still good, if it doesn't, the board/port might be shot as well.
The USB is fine because when I plug the phone in when in normal boot it recognises the data storage. I will try to boot in DL mode. Are there any gestures my S4 will do when booting in DL? Vibrations? As I cannot see anything on screen that will indicate it's worked. I think that once I can get the phone to work with ODIN/ADB I will be good to go as I am relatively tech savvy.
Nope. You're going to by flying blind so far as having no screen/no vibrations in DL mode goes. You're going to be relying on the jig working, and once you hook it up to the PC & fire up Odin, you'll know straight away whether you've got a successful connection up & running (as screenshots in the many Odin guides on here will show you).
I see, will just have to keep trying.
So on the S4 it's hold power and volume up, then wait? or do I need to press anything else afterwards? Or is it power and volume down?
Thanks
No luck with download mode. Girlfriend has a note 2, and her method is Vol down, home and power button. Screen comes up almost immediately with confirmation. Volume up needs to be pressed to confirm. Tried to replicate with S4, no avail.
No luck with starting S4 in download mode. I have followed video on youtube. Supposed to be Vol Down, Home and Power button. Wait till vibrate and warning screen, then press up. Because I cannot see the screen I cannot see the warning screen. But I Hold for 4 seconds, release just after vibrate and then press up, but phone seems to boot up in normal mode.
Ok, finally in download mode, now what? I know it works because it installed new drivers and device manager states a samsung modem. Need to try and clone and do what I need to do ASAP and taking to store tomorrow to exchange for new one.
Any last minute ideas?
Thanks
ODIN3 v1.85 shows a yellow box, this is good right? I downloaded CWM from http://galaxys4root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/
What do I need to do next, do not want to make this worse, I just need to enable usb debugging or at least be able to use adb, I am good to go from there
Only a few hours left? Surely someone knows what Flash I need to do to allow me adb access???
Right, go into recovery mode...adb now works.
What do I need to do to enable debugging?
Edit:
I can't get adb to work... error: closed
any ideas
If you cant get adb to work in recovery then youre out of luck.
Incase this happens with new phone, always have a remote access app like Cerberus installed. MightyText is a pretty nice app too.
I see, ok no worries. Thank you anyways
Hi all,
I have the Shield Pro, running 5.1, and it won't start
It was working fine yesterday, but when I got home from work this evening, it was unresponsive. The power light was stuck on, but would not respond to any controller input or, as far as I can tell, any USB input.
I pulled the power out, and plugged it back in, and the light came on instantly. No display on the TV. I plugged it into my PC, but Windows doesn't see anything attached (I have tried multiple cables). If I hold the power button for five seconds, the device just turns off. If I touch the power button even just briefly, the green light comes back on. I can't get into Fastboot or anything. There is no HDMI output at all.
This is, naturally, really quite annoying.
However, after having it hooked up to my PC via USB for a while (not sure how long, sorry!), my computer bleeped like it does when a new USB device has been discovered, and bingo! I now have an "APX" device, with no drivers installed.
So. Who knows about APX mode for this thing?
I'm pretty sure APX is a low level recovery mode.. I recall reading that elsewhere.
go to the developers nvidia site amd search on how to reflash via apx
yeah, I had to use it on my old LG Optimus 2X, back in the day. There's nothing on the nVidia developer site about using it though

Apx mode ( and yes without drivers - couldn't even find around in Internet...) on pc ×device manager× shows me on my 500gb console when I removing internal shdd and connected with pc whiteout shdd (one day nothing to do and decide need open and have look what is inside in console...shdd, motherboard, cooler etc) . Another words sounds those symptoms very similar with my tests, but in my case that was mine experiments/investigations/discovery and your looks like you have some serious storage problem or kind of problem relaited with - can't read os or even bootloader which is on 500gb shdd or flash memory modul on 16gb.

after googling for a bit , i saw some references to the shield tablet, i think someone had an APX driver, maybe you could try that?
I could do, but APX mode is really, really dangerous. You need to know byte offsets and all that :S

if you know apx and you have all necessary stuff from Nvidia (which is not provided for public) you can replace internal drive or even ssd by installing bootloader, recovery, os etc straight on new drive from pc which is main factor why we can't swap them so easily, like 1 - 2tb drive or ssd - which would be fantastic ?. P.s. Something simular protection is for Xbox360 drives.

if that's the case you might have to send it for a warranty repair.. better not playing around if it's under warranty.
an idea for apx
move your shdd from shield and connect to pc then use this program(R-Studio 8.0) or other to restore date on u shdd I think it most work good luck

I have tab p7500 and have this problem apx only jtag help me in apx mode you should now wish sbl for tegra x1 and have nvflash for shield pro sorey for my English the easy way use jtag or tray to restore data in shdd
would there be a way to just dd- flash a new recovery withthe hdd removed from the unit? I am having te same no logo, no bootloader issue and am trying to either find apx drivers (non-existent) or a workaround. There has to be a way.....
i have the same question. My intrest is more in tinkering with the tegra x1 exploit in order to get a different root solution not contingent on nvidias closed source crap. I'm running a 2015 foster model and it is getting increasingly difficult to find tutorials on that system specifically with the newer updates. +i am interested in learning the process to exchange the hdd and mopy and manipulate the widevine keys that don't work on mine after the forced 7.2.3 update that occured with all update sofware removed from my system that also fried my controller with a botched firmware update that is blacklisted and not mentioned on the internet except people asking and all replies deleted. you know general unfettered access to the system without the bootloaders say so . All of this should now be possible now that the real hackers have gotten involved and decided they want to promote this exploit for homebrew it has caused several low level apx drivers to popup in corners ive found myself in from time to time if somebody will just get them to do it for the shield tv instead of the shield tab and the switch it is proven to work.
Hello evryone,
I'm a bit in a pickle here, i got a smart TV (zephir store brand) that costantly loops trough the zephir logo and smarttv logo.
As far as i know the tv fuction perfectly fine until the previus owner tried to performe a firmware update, during the update something went wrong and now we are in this situation.
Till now i have tried the following:
Turning it of and on
Un plug the power and wait for 1h
Tried to perform a factory reset via remote
Tried to perform a factory reset while holding the power button
Tried to perform a factory reset while holding the power button and the volume down button
Tried to perform a factory reset while holding the power button and the volume up button
Tried to connect an usb keyboard
tried to connect via usb to PC
Nothing of the above showed any sing of response at this point the owner has given up on the TV but i still wana try to use it as a second monitor or something, so with all of that i'm coming here to seek the wisdom of the XDA forums. Any and all help would be apriciated form jailbraking to rooting, turning it into a monitor with no android fucionality, how to access the shell file anything at all.
Alright, so I couldn't find any firmware anywhere whatsoever for the Zephir brand. Tried loading a differend brand one for the same logic board. Managed to boot it but the picture was inverted and doubled. Made it to the source selection screen. Attempted to load a different firmware. The tv crashed while loading the booter. Now it won't even turn on the power indicator LED. So I guess it's well and truly cooked.
I could find the board online for like € 40 but I'm pretty sure they come without any firmware or OS? Does anyone know if it'd be worth a try, especially without being able to source the OEM firware?
Does anyone know if there is a way of making just the screen run on an arduino or something, I only need it to run HDMI anyways, 'cause I was planning on using it as a monitor anyways. The logic board is a CV538H-a.
If anyone has a suggestion I'd be glad to give it a go, otherwise i guess I'll bin it.
