[Q] Galaxy S bricked and no USB/SD works

Hello, recently I've tried to install clockwork recovery in my Galaxy S (I9000B), so I've downloaded ODIN and all the other tools and drivers. But the USB on my phone wasn't working, and it was the phone, I've tried different drivers on different computers and the same result, "The USB device was not recognized". So I've downloaded on play market the Busybox, in hope of getting something done. After installing it, busybox asked to reboot phone, so I did it, and the problem started, the phone is stuck on the booting animation, that one showing the phone model. I can still acess the download mode and the stock recovery, but can't connect to PC to flash via ODIN, and external SD is not possible aswell. I've already tried to wipe dalvik cache and data, but nothing. What do I do?

try a a solution from My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Most of all i9000B is not compatible with i9000 ROMS so make sure you only use i9000B ROMS

Yeah, I've already tried that, but stays the same. I never got the chance to flash a custom rom because of the malfunctioning phone USB. There's nothing I can do, or there is something that I don't know

Maybe You should try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602877
I simply took off the back cover and heated the motherboard.
It worked for me!

If you still have access to your recovery then just install a new kernel and ROM.

Do not worry. xposed I install my phone and did not return.The solution is the mobile update software. This program find it on the official website of alcatel looking for your specific model, install it on the pc, and is responsible for flashing the phone. All is not lost.Sorry my bad english.

Lenovo Yoga 3 8 "YT3-850F downgrade firmware

Hi Guys,
I am attempting to downgrade a Lenovo Yoga 3 8 "YT3-850F to an earlier firmware in an attempt to remove the frp lock on a Lenovo that upgraded to Marshmellow 6.0.1 and is now locked out. My friends son didn't keep his Google login details and after a factory reset this Lenovo is locked.
I've downloaded the 5.1 version via the Lenovo forums which apparently works YT3-850F_USR_S000025_1510160911_Q1241_ROW_factory_update.zip but when I try and install in via sd card I get the Android man flashing between black screen and the android man but the flash does not seem to happen.
I am getting an error when flashing:
finding update package
opening update package
e:failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
e:remount block devices
e:failed to mount /sdcard
I'm not sure if this is a red herring as I don't always get the message but when I hold the volume up key and the power button the tab goes straight into flash mode and not the recovery screen. Also the only way out is to eject the sd card and then the recovery screen reappears and this is when I sometimes can see the message.
I have tried different sd cards and refomatted them in different ways ie windows, android, minitools etc.
Should I attempt to flash the rom via abd? Can I do this on a tablet that is locked with frp?
Any help gratefully appreciated
Al

I've been looking into further ways of installing the rom.
When I boot into recovery mode there is the option to update via abd.
When I select this option I can see the Tablet when I select adb devices in the command window.
Would this option allow me to install the YT3-850F_USR_S000025_1510160911_Q1241_ROW_factory_update.zip firmware or would it brick the device as it is currently on MM6.0.1?
cheers
Al

Update: Finally got it sorted.
The sd cards that I was using where either too large 8gb and 16gb or hi speed (not sure which)
Out of desperation I gave it one further attempt with an old 2gb sd card and it flashed
The next problem I had was it was taking an update immediately to 0027 and this was preventing me from doing the frp bypass.
I re-flashed 0025 and immediately after connecting to the internet I disconnected the lead but reconnected at times to allow me into Settings and enable developer mode and usb debugging. Once this was complete it started 0027 and allowed me to setup a new google account.
I hope this helps future people who are in the same boat.
Al

Guide for this procedure, please.

How is it going man, I know it has been a year since your post. However, would you be so kind of posting the procedure you followed, also could you upload the firmware, please.
I know is too much to ask, but I was not able to find a solution on how to downgrade.

Big problem with my htc U Ultra :(

Hello, I've a problem with my htc U Ultra (ocedugl). In fact, I upgraded supersu and when the phone was supposed to restart, I was stuck at the htc logo. I then had a backup of the boot and the system in reserve on my SD card, but when I wanted to restore them, I had the error 255. Only during the restoration of the system.
I do not know what to do, this phone is a real mystery to me. I have an internship tomorrow, not very practical suddenly. :/
The most problematic in all this is that twrp asks me for a password to decrypt the data at startup and I have the impression that I have only worsened the case. If anyone could help me quickly enough please.
PS: Me who I usually do alone, I must admit that I dry.
PS 2: I installed root switch for snapchat just before too, I do not know if that affects.

Turn off your phone. Press Power and volume down at the same time to boot in to download mode. connect to PC and flash TWRP
Install via ADB
Open the folder where your TWRP Recovery .img file is saved.
Then open a CMD window inside that folder. To do that, Shift + Right click on any empty white space inside the folder and then select Open command window here.
Connect your Android device to the PC. Type the following into the command window to boot your device into bootloader/fastboot mode:
Once your device boots into download mode, type this into the command line.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-1.img
Once TWRP is successfully flashed on your device, you can use TWRP now

i don't know what extractly happened with your phone. You can access your storage by connect to PC when your phone in TWRP Recovery. Backup your personal data. Choose wipe => format data => type "yes" => copy Rom into your internal storage or SD Card and flash

HTC u ultra Oreo messed up my phone and now I need help.
My story:
Bought a HTC U Ultra European.
I was kind of satisfied with it. The device didn't really live up to my expectations. But when it was upgraded to Oreo the screen start to flash when opening apps and Bluetooth sound went bad. It looks like the app opens twice. After a while it went even worse with the flashing.
Anyways I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP 3.2. That process went fine then I wanted to flash leedroid to test something else (yes I saved a recovery file).
The result is now my device is working but I'm unable to flash twrp again. Since Oreo still sucks to u ultra and I want to downgrade to nougat since it works.
My adb (Linux) detects my device but when I start my HTC in download mode I'm unable to flash to since my PC says:
<waiting for device>
When I try to start it in recovery mode it sticks in a reboot loop.
And BTW I can't restore factory settings.
So if anyone can give me any answers it would be great.

Try reinstall driver, buy or borrow an other usb-c cable.

I already installed drivers and tried other cables. Did the procedure again bit with no results.
I think the big problem actually is that since the phone can't boot into recovery mode it get messed up.
I try to do a hard reset but every time I either get stuck in a bootloop or the phone boots into regular mode. So I literally can't do anything to fix this problem as far as I know.
Getting a little bit of frustrated over here.

Why you need reflash TWRP after used Leedroid's rom?

Because I can't boot to recovery mode. Either I get stuck in a boot loop or the device boots just like I rebooted it. So I can't get to twrp and I can't flash anything. I can't hard reset either. All I can do is reboot, enter bootloader and enter download mode.
So I guess I'm stuck with Oreo that's a mess on my device.

Deleted Os in TWRP

Im an Idiot. I went to twrp recovery and wiped everything, since I wanted to install a higher version of the Samsung tab e, and even when twrp told me that there was no OS installed, I rebooted anyways. I was new to this all thing, and had no idea what exactly that meant and thought, 'What could go wrong?' . . . I just wanted a higher device model, man.
Ugh. Now im stuck in the 'Powered by Android' logo screen, and cant boot into recovery or Download mode.
- What's even worse was that I didn't even enable USB Debugging so Adb is out.
- However, it is Rooted, if that even helps.
- Trying to use the Samsung 300k tool to force enter download mode ends up with 'Write file function failed (error 995)'
- My sibling has the same device model as me, but using T Flash via Odin and my 32GB micro SD card doesn't have a reaction to my device. (Or maybe im doing it wrong, since I don't see anything in the sd card when I plug it to the computer)
- Tablet gets recognized via Odin and Computer, but only as 'MTP USB Device', and in Devices, it is in Unspecified as 'Samsung Android'
- Only good thing that came out of this was the info that I had obtained over the past few days that has shocked my siblings as to why I have this much knowledge over Samsung devices and its functions (AKA I feel cool)
But honestly, at this point I am at a loss of what to do, and will not be surprised if I have to get a USB jig to force it to download mode (my only other option left), or take it to a service center to get it fixed. (the other option I have)
But if there is something you guys are aware of, that I had not tried yet, Please guide me.

Anybody?

The simplest way to get an operating system again is to put the ZIP file on a working MicroSD card and put it in your tablet, Then boot into the boot loader and choose to install the file by choosing the external micro sd card.
If you're stuck on a boot screen or download, get out of it by holding the power key + volume down, until the tablet resets.
Note for the future:
always backup your device to an external MicroSD card before deleting your existing operating system, or installing a new one.
