[Q] Is my Legend bricked or f**ked? - Legend General

Hi!
A couple of days ago, my Legend started to act weird, I tried to install a new nightly-build (CM), but they never worked. I always had to roll back to CM RC2.
Now, about a day after that, I could no longer access my pictures on my phone. I rebooted it, and it said that my SD-card was corrupt, and that I had to format it. I connected the phone to my computer via USB, and it asked me to either scan and repair the SD-card, or continue without scanning. What I noticed, was that the sound Windows makes when you connect or disconnect a USB-device to a comp kept repeating. Like; disconnected. connected. disconnected. connected.
I couldn't transfer files or anything, since halfway in, it would disconnect, and the transfer would stop.
Now, when I used the SD-card in an adapter and connected to the computer directly, I encountered no problems at all. I could transfer freely, format the card, whatever.
I tried using another card, but my Legend kept telling me it was corrupted. When I tried for the 3rd or 4th time, the phone just said there wasn't an SD-card inserted at all, and when I connect the phone via USB, Windows is stating it doesn't recognize the device...
Is my Legend bricked? I flashed it to an unrooted stock-ROM in case I have to hand it in to service, but I want to know if it's something I can fix myself, or if it's actually broken.. The USB-thing could be a brick I guess, but the SD-card thingy?
Btw, I live in a very cold country, and sometimes my phone is really cold when I pull it from my pockets, maybe that was the source? :/ I dunno..
TL;DR - My Legend suddenly stopped recognizing my SD-card, and finally didn't read the SD-cards at all. My Windows started telling me it didn't recognize the device inserted into the USB-port whenever I connected the Legend.
Thanks, folks!

Thanks! But I see this;
"You must be rooted to try the following, it seems you can't write to mtd0 without root."
I just unrooted in case I had to turn it in. Since it won't read my SD-cards, there's no possibility for me to root it again, I think :/

i dont know how the brick exactly worked but there may be a chance to root again.
try to make your microsd to a goldcard again and look if its working, the chance is pretty low but at least its worth a try. (i know this sounds paradox)

I guess that could work, but to make a goldcard I have to run some commands through adb, and my Windows cannot recognize the USB-device inserted.. :/

I had a same problem "and when I connect the phone via USB, Windows is stating it doesn't recognize the device..." and device was urooted but i fixed sd with this:
Also, SD card functionality has to work. For this, go into fastboot mode ( device off : volume down + power, select FASTBOOT) , and do:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
then install this via the sd card + sdcard reader for root rights and unbrick over terminal emulator! worked for me!

My phone wont promt me to mount my SD card when i connect via USB to my laptop

I tried to figure out how to setup adb, and in the process tried to reinstall HTCSync2.0.25.
Ever since then (it may be a coincidence though) my phone does nothing but charge when i ahve it plugged into my laptop. I tried different cords, ports and computers and still no notification telling me to mount.
Is there a setting that i touched that may have turned off mounting?
Did i somehow delete the drivers? If so, what do i need to download because clearly HTCSync2.0.25 isnt doing anything for me since i tried removing and reinstalling + rebooting several times.
Any tips?
EDIT: Ive never had any problems before and i cant remember if i had any when i first got the phone or not.. I'm on windows 7
are you using stock ROM or? does you phone play sound when it connect to the laptop?
everything is stock htc sense.
no sound is made. its like the phone doesnt exist when i plug it in. it just charges. At first i thought it was my laptop, but then i tried my other computer and it didnt work their either..
Have you tried rebooting your phone?
yes, more than once.
Rebooting hte phone with the sd card unmounted (from the phone settings). Rebooting with usb debugging enabled. rebooting with usb debugging disabled. rebooted my laptop. everything
bad data pins on the usb port on the phone?
i doubt that. it worked fine 2 days ago.
Do you have DoubleTwist installed? I tried it once and it messed up my usb mounting and media scanning.
nopei havent installed any new apps between the time where it worked, and it didnt.
one day it did, the next it didnt.
Maybe its a driver error? wehn you first plug in a new htc magic, will it see the SD card or will it not do anyhting until your have the proper drivers? because i just reinstalled htc sync for the 10th time and it still doesnt see anyhting
Can you mount via recovery?
If yes then it's not hardware, cable or your usb port. Likely rom or app related.
If not then it's hardware, cable or your usb port.
well i dont know how to mount via usb, but the screen says fastboot usb when i plug it in.
Nothing comes up on the computer..

What kind of recovery are you using?
Reboot to recovery and mount the sdcard from there.
Plug it into your computer.
Does a removable disk show up?
Try a different sdcard
Try a different usb cable
Try a different computer even!
If all three fail then it's probably your phone (hardware).
Try to mount via recovery (sdcard in the phone, rebooted to recovery and depending on your recovery version... in this example I'll use Clockwork Recovery go to Partitions Menu > mount USB storage.)
If successful then it's rom related.
If fail then hardware (sdcard, phone hardware, computer hardware, usb cable) related
It's not difficult to troubleshoot. We just need to eliminate possible problems to pinpoint whether it's your sdcard, phone, usb cable or computer.
Thanks forhelping me. I appreciate it.
But I don't know how to mount via bootmenu. Il try a different sd card when I get home.
Also I got the stock recovery. Nothing had ben changed
Alright i just put in another sd card and still nothing. would formatting to factory settings help?
But before i do that, is there an app that backs up all my data and then restores it?

Uhhh.... yeah. There are several apps on the Market that will back up your data and restore it. Mybackup Pro ($$$) and Titanium Backup (Free) are the most popular.
But I would suggest installing a custom recovery first.
Try clockwork (use my signature) by downloading Rom Manager.
As long as you have root, (you do have root right?) then you can easily install a custom recovery.
Honestly though, it sounds like a problem with your computer or cable. If you can access the sdcard from your phone then it doesn't sounds like an issue with the card.
yea i guess its a problem with my phone then. I just did a factory reset and still nothing. I tried different cords on different computers so its unlikely that they're all broken..
And no i dont ahve root. Thats why i needed to connect, i was trying to root my phone!

Yup. It sounds like an issue with the usb port on your phone then.
It seems like it's not recognizing the cable when it's plugged in to switch to enable usb mounting.
but how could this happen so randomly? i had it plugged in and no problems, then when i went to replug it in a minute later nothing happened.
It's not a driver problem?
My computer gave em a popup once saying the device malfunctioned or something

It could be a driver, but if you tried a different computer then it's like you said... it's unlikely that all your computers are having the issue.
Just for the hell of it, uninstall the drivers, plug the phone in and try mounting it.
We just need removable storage and that doesn't take any special drivers at all.
yea thats what i tried yesterday, which still didnt work
i'm on hold with HTC now.. i'll see what they say. it's still under warranty
I cant believe this randomly happened.

Mass storage problems

Hello,
I'm having problems connecting my phone to the computer with a USB.
The first problem is making the phone aware that it is connected to the computer. If I have the phone already on and connect it, it will start charging, but the notification bar won't tell me it's connected. To solve this, I found out that I have to turn the phone on while it's ALREADY connected. I think this could indicate some kind of problem. Doing this I'm able to tell the phone to mount the SD card.
But my second problem is that I can't get it to mount in my computer if I choose Mass Storage. I tried on 2 computers (Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows Seven), and it didn't work in neither of them. I tried turning USB debugging on, and it made no difference.
When I unplug the phone, it will still think it's connected, the only way to fix it is by restarting the phone.
If I insert the microSD directly in the computer (with an adapter) it works fine.
Has anyone had success mounting it on Linux? Finding a Windows solution wouldn't solve my problem, as I only use Linux.
Thank you!
When you click on Mass Storage, pull down the notification bar and click in Select/Click here to copy files to/from your computer and it will mount your SD Card and you will be able to copy files to and from SD Card

I'm having your first problem too. I Think this happend after I've rooted my phone, then I tryed to unroot, but doesn't worked. Any idea of how I can fix it? If the way to solve that is flashing I'll flash a Froyo rom, I haven't did it yet cause I'm waiting for the official Froyo from Samsung, but they're taking too much time to release it!
Thanks for any idea/solution.

Well, I fixed this problem on my Galaxy 3 with a Factory Recovery. But first I've made a backup to the SD Card, with MyBackup Root (need root), after that I turned the phone off, and turned on pressing VolUp + VolDown + Home + Power, to enter the Recovery mode, and then wiped the data (restored the factory config). Now the phone shows the connection menu when I plug it to the usb.

I guess doing a factory recovery would remove root, right? Did you root again and Mass Storage kept working?

Welty, if you decide going for flashing a new rom, let us know if it works. I'm leaving for vacations tomorrow, so I won't be able to try anything in the next 2 weeks, but if you make any progress, let us know
@iomartin
I was thinking that I was going to lose the root, but when the phone rebooted with the factory settings the root was there, I just needed to install the app to restore the backup.
About the flashing, I did it today, with the JPF (Froyo), and it's working fine, I'll test the battery duration to post my impressions about it. Froyo has a better keyboard and I'm not using Swype
Sent from my GT-I5800, Froyo (JPF), using XDA App
*EDIT* Well, the battery is good. With my use (Wi-Fi for entire day, used to see TweetDeck and some web with Opera Mobile, few phone calls and some sms), it's good, just like Eclair, or a little worst, but nothing that compromises my phone usage. Let's see if the Samsung official Froyo for SG3 will be better. Hope this helped you in your decision about this upgrade. You're from Brazil too, and I thing Samsung will release Froyo soon, like GS5 already have it and SGS had the Beta Froyo released too.
Can you try the options described in the below thread?

Rooted Evo will not connect to PC

I rooted my Evo with unrevoked3 a few months ago and since then (or sometime after) my phone will not connect to my PC. It will charge but that's it. I checked off the ask me every time I connect option, it's set to mount as disk drive. I am using the stock usb cable that came with the phone. I tried hard resetting, data wiping back to factory default. Still won't connect. Tried reinstalling HTC Sync. Doesn't recognize my phone being plugged in. I want to flash my phone back to stock so I can bring it back to Sprint but I can't bring it back rooted and I can't unroot it without using the PC. I have Googled and Googled all over but can't find an answer. I did a search here and there are similar problems but no solutions that have worked for me. Could it be the cable? It is in good condition as is the phone. Maybe the USB port on the phone? Those went bad on all my Blackberries. I'm sure this problem is expressed frequently but a response would make my day.

I am assuming you have a windows based PC.
Do you have any device driver conflicts in your windows Device Manager? I'd start there. Your computer wouldn't properly reconize your phone if you have some sort of conflict or you don't even have the right drivers installed.
Broken usb is a known issue with EVO, something about how it is soldered onto the motherboard. Are you running a custom ROM or kernel?
Have you tried mounting it in Recovery? You can always use a MicroSD card adapter to transfer files. I just use Dropbox.
You can unroot without your PC. Just download everything on your phone.
Download the S-On tool from Unrevoked. Flash it in Recovery. Check to make sure phone is S-On
Download the PC36IMG.zip restore to your phone, there is a thread with it in Development. Use Astro/Root Explorer to move the PC36ING.zip to the base of your SD card.
Go into HBoot and it will recognize it. It'll ask if you want to update, say yes. Let it sit and do its thing.
There is a guide in q&a about unrooting
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Yes, Windows based PC.
So I downloaded the S-On tool, moved it to the root of my card with Super Manager, then flashed it. Says S-On at boot. I rebooted my phone, moved the PC136zip to the root of the sd card. Rebooted with down vol + power and it checks for pc136zip but doesn't ask anything. I tried zipping it in recovery and it says bad. I tried another download site and did the same thing, doesn't recognize it upon hboot, so I tried zipping from sdcard, selected it, it quickly said some text about updating then nothingness. How do I know if it unrooted?
Edit: Also, I checked my device manager on my pc but it didn't show anything wrong.
Install terminal and type su
You will get permission denied if not rooted.
I have a working PC36IMG.zip in my Dropbox, if you need it tell me and I'll PM you a link
if u think ur phone is broke cuz u cant connect to pc after u rooted it, it isnt broke at all. my phone did the same thing after i rooted it. I don't remember exactly cuz it was a while ago, but u may have to turn on usb debugging in settings before it will recognize it. also u can go into recovery and mount usb to write to it
It might have to do with the drivers you have to install when you run unrevoked. It has been a while, but I am pretty sure I had to install a special USB driver to run unrevoked.

I had this happen to my phone last week after I used my computer to root two other peoples phones.
It makes no sense really, but while in recovery I connected to the computer to move a few files to the phone, and after that it was able to connect whether in recovery or not.
See if your phone can make the connection while in recovery.
Ok, so I brought the phone to Sprint after trying a different USB cord and they said the port is damaged. My new phone arrived today but I need to get my phone back to stock ASAP. I got it back to S-On but when I attempt the pc36img flash it says...
SD Checking....
Loading... [PC36DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PC36DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PC36IMG.zip]
Then the black bar loads.
Then it says.
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
I hit yes.
I still have SuperUser Permissions.
I've downloaded a few different pc36img.zip from different pages and this happens every time.
Edit: Probably wondering how I did this without a USB. I bought an SD Card reader and transferred everything through PC.
Try this.
1. Plug your usb cable into the computer.
2. Plug your usb cable into the phone.
3. Wait and listen for the little sound that tells you that the computer sees it.
4. Unplug your USB cable from the phone and wait about 2 seconds.
5. Plug the USB cable back into the phone, listen for the sound, then look at the computer monitor.
On mine, I have to do this to make the autorun window pop up running Windows Vista.
Shot in the dark, but thought it might help.
Noise doesn't happen. USB port is damaged, noise will never happen.
On the upside,
(I don't have 8 posts yet or I would show the download image) Updated version of PC36IMG.ZIP that worked. Just rename to pc36img and it unrooted my phone.
I'm having this same problem. Now, In this case, I hear the noise. Then a second double noise (like when you unplug the usb) This happens whether I am in recovery or not. Also, oddly enough, the thing works on my mac. It's done this through several different ROMS Right now I'm using synergy (which is great btw). I'm really at a loss here. Anyone got any other ideas? Like where I can find it in device manager. There are like 9 "root usb" devices
*edit* Also, I'm using window's XP proffessional. I've tried some trouble shooting but nothing is really working. Also it's being assigned a disk letter when connected, during the short time (like less than a second) when the disk pops up it says removable disk. I timed it and it's being assigned H, but it's being ejected almost immediately.
I think it has something to do with power being supplied in the cord. Maybe something to do with kernal? I dunno. But I plugged it into a usb port in the back of my pc, and it read it : /

USB Problem

I plug my phone into the laptop, it says it's connected via USB, so I enable mass storage, the laptop says theres an error would I like to scan and fix? I say yes, then after about 30 seconds, with no warning, without me touching the phone, it disconnects from the laptop, but it still knows its connected, it's just as if it disables mass storage. If I don't select scan and fix it still happens. Might connect the SD Card via adapter and see if it does it?
Anyone?
R800i, CM7 beta 011.
my phone did the same thing the first day i got it all i did was took the battery out and put it back in and it never happen again
Already tried that. Gutted it didn't fix it.

No, I've been using the SD Card that came with it, it's been working perfectly. I let the phone fall about a foot onto carpet and that's when the problems started happening. I'm going to connect it via a SD Card Reader and see what happens.
Also, after flashing CM7 and reverting to normal rom it no longer gives me the option of connecting the SD card when connected via USB. The option doesn't appear.
How do I get back to a pure stock phone after CM7, could someone please give me detailed instructions, and btw, I'm having problems getting flashtool to connect to my phone for some reason.

If you dont want to relock the bootloader just flash the standard 2.3.3 (here) or the rooted img (here) and click the clear user data box when using flashtools and it will do the same job as SEUS. You say flashtools is not working are you connecting it wrong? Turn the phone off then hold the back key and plug in the usb when flashtools asks and the power button should turn green)

I fixed the problem anyways, when I dropped my phone it kinda screwed up my SD card, so I plugged it directly into my laptop and ran Microsoft's scan and fix tool. All working well now.
Also, How can I get flashtool working? It doesn't work for me at ALL. I've been trying the 2.9.1 beta (think that's the version).
Anyways, it says searching for xperia, please connect your device in flash mode, all the time, and never recognises my phone. I dunno why, but it's driving me mad :-(

You need to install the drivers that come with the flashtool.

you need to hold back bouton before you connect it
yeah, found out there a few minutes ago, thought the back button was used on the x8 like search is on ours to enter fastboot
Ah ah ^^ have fun on 2.3.3 rooted
I didn't need to put the drivers in the folder. At first it didn't find them but after a while it found the ones from the SE software that the phone installs.
Yeah same. Reverted BK to stock rom from cm7 but got the SD card unmount error. Tried flashing stock kernel but still got the error. Back to cm7 now.

Happened to me a few days ago while trying to update my phone... Ended up giving up

[Q] My phone cannot connect to Computer, help me please...

Hey guys, has anyone face this problem like me. I'm not sure what I did wrong with my phone, but when I connect via USB cable to computer it doesn't recognize my phone. Usually, when we connect it to computer it will pop up saying that "Charge Only" and USB Debugged Connecting. But for me my phone nothing happen, just normal charging.
I tried to switch to various different ROM from Gingerbread to ICS and ICS to HTC Sense 3.5, but still the same. Still not recognize by the computer.
Help me please...
Still kinda a noob so I may sound stupid for this but do u have the correct drivers for the phone installed on your computer

Is it possible that you disabled the pop up?
If it doesn't seem to be a software problem, have you tried using a different USB cable? This would be the most likely problem for you, in my opinion.

Well, before connect to each other normally. I am not sure what I did wrong with it. I did try various cable. But still the same. I will try to install the Driver again. Thanks for your suggestion.

The driver came on the root of you sd card when the phone was new. If that doesn't work try pdanet

Well, I already tried all these ways. Still not working. I even try to restore to the previous back up that the SD card is working by that time. But nothing happen still. Look like it is a hardware problem.:laugh:
Have you looked at the device manager for devices with an exclamation point? Make sure you have the "show hidden devices" checked.
On your pc re-install the phone driver but first uninstall the original driver through control panel>programs. After the uninstall, plugging in your phone to your PC should bring up the unknown device pop up (then the new hardware installation dialogue). If not then the pc isn't picking up your phone, check the cable, maybe try a different cable/ usb port.
If all else fails, some mytouch custom roms on these forums borked usb, there was a workaround for that, something you could flash. I remember seeing it in some of the threads... Wish I could remember the name. It was around Cyanogen 7.1 mods/ports (before rc 7.2 was out). Maybe somebody else remembers..

It could be a failed USB connector in the phone. Much, much higher probability than "borked USB". Especially if he installed several custom ROMs and didn't have anything.
Very easy to tell:
Boot to bootloader (power off, then power on + Volume Down), choose "FASTBOOT" (with VolDown and Power buttons), connect USB. If you'll see "FASTBOOT USB" showing up instead of "FASTBOOT" - it means USB is working. If not - most likely USB plug in the phone is dead, or something wrong with your computer's USB ports.
you need to install the HTCdriver before connected the myTouch to computer. I think I downloaded it from the official myTouch 4g website, some mytouches have it in their sd card...

Hi, I've tried your suggestion. And the Fastboot USB didn't pop up. So that mean something wrong with it. Do you have any solution for this. Appreciate your help.
If no "install driver" or "unrecognized device" popped up at the computer - just to be sure, try a different computer. If still nothing pops up on the computer - it means you have to fix the USB socket of the phone, and it means you have to submit it to a lab (unless you're good with micro-soldering and have all the tools, including microscope - but it doesn't seem to be the case). It's a physical problem, and can't be solved with software - no builds/ROMs/etc can make metal contact

You are right. I think it is the hardware problem too. Because I just got a Micro USB port broken and I went to the phone repairer to fix it. After I got it back for a couple day and flash new ROM. The USB is no longer working. Will return it to them.
Thanks for your time
I had the same problem. I just formated the system and then flashed the same room and that worked for me. Hope it helps

Well, I already tried this method already. Didn't work for me. I even restored to the previous back up via Clockworkmods to the ROM with SD card mounting. But still not work. Format SD card, not working too. I've tried all the method. I think it's a hardware issue. Thanks

What is this by the way? Is it the orignal ROM from tmobile? I already tried this event before you suggest me but it doesn't work either. Thanks.

R u trolling? Because if u can mount USB in recovery USB should be fine. Unless its your PC or some files on ur phone r corrupted. Try fastboot comnand. Fastboot OEM enableqxdm 0
