Vario II won't flash...

Hi,
I have a Vario II that i have flashed many's a ROM on to. However i can no longer do so.
I can get as far as the confirmation screen, click Next, the progress bar appears but remains at zero then a few seconds later activesync crashes.
Flashing the ROM then fails (obviously)
Any idea's?
I have tried searching but found nothing helpful.
p.s. i am flashing via USB

I have expirienced this on the PC at my work. Our PC there has a restriction for USB Drives. The ActiveSync detects my device but when starts to flash the connection is cut. Having an error on the RRU that my USB is disconnected or remove.
Maybe you can check your PC if it can detect your device even without ActiveSync. You can go to your control panel and check if there is no undetected hardwares.
BTW, what is the OS of your PC.?

i'm using XP.
I will try to flash my Kaiser... see if that works.

i can flash my Kaiser so no issues with detection etc.
Still the same issue with my Hermes tho.
Any help appreciated.

Use the SD card flashing method. No need activesync/cable. Read wiki : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing

i had considered that but don't have a card reader. They cost pennies these days so i guess, no excuses!
Cheers.

If you still have a working WM, you can install WM5storage and make your phone act as a card reader/usb thumbdrive. You can then format and copy files normally like using a usb card reader/thumbdrive

Thats odd. Do you use the same connector on your kaiser?
Also may i ask what's your HardSPL Version..?

My nexus one wont mount ( windows 7 64-bit )

When I first plugged in my nexus one, windows 7 recognized it and installed the n1 driver... but whenever I tried to mount the nexus one to access it's files, it wont let me; thus, I always have to manually remove the micro sd card and insert it to my sd card slot on my lappy to access it. ( Do keep in mind that I was able to mount my sd card at some point in the past. )
I tried turning on the the usb debugging mode while attempting to mount the sd card like some people suggested with no avail. Does anyone here know how to fix this problem? I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me.
Thanks,
Roxy

Uninstall the n1 driver and try again.

I did try doing that and it didn't work

I get a similar problem mine will mount and then automatically unmount so I cant copy any files to my n1

Use another usb port

Can't say I've ever had this problem before.
USB debugging enabled on the phone
drivers installed
and I can adb remount with any probs... :S

I have, I've tried 4 different port I have also tried on another pc and its the same.

I'm using Windows 7 64bit, no problems with usb driver and accessing N1 storage
try a different cable?

Restarting my PC, with the phone connected did the trick for me, I had exactly the same problem.

I'm not talking about ADB remount ^^; I'm talking about USB->SD Card mount.

Both doesn't work

maybe your nexus one usb port is goofed. i had that problem on a winmo phone after a while.
and, are you using the stock sd card supplied? or are you using one of the new fangled 32gb? i have a 16gb class 6 that has no issues whatsoever. try a diff sd card. otherwise, it may indeed be busted usb port

Or maybe you aren't responding to the "USB Connected" notification prompting you to "Select to copy files to/from your computer" ?

I doubt it's a USB port problem. I have the same issue with my nexus and windows 7 professional 64 bit. The same phone works flawelessly in XP mode on the same laptop!
So, it seems like it's a driver issue.
Cheers,
Stephane.

This is a common Issue on Android Devices
My roommate identified this issue on his Win 7 Home premium 64 bit machine, we found that when we hook up any G1 or Nexus to that PC none will stay mounted. It shows connected you choose the option to mount the phone will show mounted for a few seconds then will show not mounted and nothing happens on the PC. We have tried with 2 different G1's one rooted one not. Same with 2 Nexus One's, one was rooted one was not. All had the same issue. All of the phones will mount on other machines. We suspected the machine but there are no security settings active to prevent mounting and he is the administrator.

i had to install separate drivers by running devmgmt.msc, right click on nexus one, search for the correct driver in the sdk folder
the usb driver wasn't enough to do it. had to get drivers specifically for nexus one as well

usb drive not recognized - help please :(

Hi
I've been using my Galaxy S as usual but today the phone/computer wont recognize it's connected as mass storage or kies.
There is no option on the phone to mount as it did before , all that pops up on windows 7 is usb drive not recognized
I searched on google and tried various things such as :
-USB debugging on and off
-Removing battery
-Trying different cable
-Trying different computer
-Factory data reset
-Formatting internal SD card
-Switching Laptop on + off/restarting
-Uninstalling/reinstalling drivers + Kies
I use the standard launcher and havent changed anything up to the point when it was working.
Does anybody have any suggestions. Im pretty sure its still in warranty however i purchased new on ebay last year so im not sure how all this warranty stuff works.

Do you use an external sd card? If so try this: put it out, turn phone off and on and try once more to connect

Yeah i think your external sd is ether corrupt or broken. i bet if you leave it out completly the phone gets recognized as it should.
Save your external sd data on pc (if you havent already) wipe your external sd and see if it works
If not you unfortunately have to buy a new one, at best from a different brand.

Did you update your firmware recently? I updated from 2.2 to 2.3.3 and it has a few issues, including not being able to connect as mass storage yesterday (though I had no such issue for the past few weeks).

Firmware was updated to 2.3.3 in may but haven't had any such problem with it until now
After trawling google some post said that they switched on their bluetooth connection and then connected to mass storage and hey presto i did this and all seems to be working again. Seems very strange but for those of you who stumble across this thread.
Switch on your bluetooth and then connect the usb cable.
In my case it connected without issue.
Switched off the bluetooth and tried and it connected without issue...so it could possibly something to do with bluetooth who knows?
Appreciate everyones input thankyou

Hi!
I have the same problem. Windows can't recognize my phone, even in download mode.
I have tried the bluetooth on-off trick, without success. I have no micro-sd card in the phone. I tried on 3 pc, and in my Macbook Pro.
Can someone help me?
Thanks,
David
p.s.: Sorry about my english.

Have you tried with other USB cabel ???? I had problem with my USB and recognizing phone on pc, even with instaling drivers :-( (sorry for bad english)

Also been in this situation. Couple of things I learnt:
1. make sure you have a well charged battery
2. fiddle with the usb connection on the sgs: it gets loose and is not always good, press the cable up and see if the pc gives the usb connnect sound
3. uninstall the existing Samsung drivers and then re-boot, then re-connect the usb and let windows find its own drivers or install the latest Samsung drivers posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956) -- but that guide also says, reboot the computer after installing the drivers prior to trying to connect the usb again. Its a windows thing: you must reboot after either install or uninstall the drivers.

Most probably it should be the USB cable, there is something wrong with your cable/port.

I had the exact same problem. I took my phone back to the dealer where the manager messed with it for half an hour. In the end he got it working by removing the sd card and power cycling the phone 3 times removing the battery each time. Presto, I haven't had the same problem since.

Sometimes a very careful tweak of the pins in the port can help, and it is not unknown for the soldering to be cracked, so both worth checking also a clean with a suitable cleaner can help

Is your cable a original one ??? or ??

Hi,
Copying with a cable can sometimes lead to data corruption.
Try using a card reader.

Try unmounting and mounting your sd card within android, that´s what´s happening anyway during a reboot, due to that you can see the files the second time around.
I have heard of an app, something like dual mount or so (i´m really not sure, sorry), try using that, maybe in that case the file system updates right away and not only after the next reboot.

it's basically a small cable that on one end goes into your phone & on the other end, it has a USB port to connect anything that uses USB like in computers, laptops etc. So thanks to this, you can copy the ROM file(s) onto a USB flashdrive & connect it to the phone through the OTG cable
