I know there are various threads like this one but my situation is a bit different. I tried using odin to clean install 2.2 to then use the custom rom epic experience. I attempted to install 2.2 using odin but it would get stuck in "setup connection" and I would have to quit and try again. Last time I tried my phone got the "phone connection caution computer" icon and to get into recovery I would have to hold the power and camera button, not the volume down button. When I go to try and install things straight from my SD card I would get an error like "status 7" cus I didn't have the sprint apps to install 2.2. I believe I get these errors installing straight from the card cus I rooted my phone, modifying the kernal cus I read somewhere because when trying to update, it tries to verify but can't cus things are missing or edited cus of the root. I can't try to use odin again because my computer can't recognize the phone anymore regardless reinstalling the samsung drivers. SOOOO, I'm basically ****ing stuck for sure I think. The way I access the SD card is by using an adapter. The only way I see this working is if I find a fix using the SD card, but it's looking slim cus of the stupid root.
I don't know much about this yet, as I'm still learning myself. Did you try using another usb port and are you putting the phone in download mode?. Restart the computer and the phone. Make sure odin is running before you plug in the phone as well. And try another usb port. Are you using the cable that came with the phone? That one trends to have problems for some people.
Edit: I don't believe your phone is bricked either, people tend to throw the word around to much because that arnt quite sure about the definition. Just hang in there and the community will help you get back up and running. Good luck

You see, I'm out of options. Last thing I thought of was installing a custom rom 2.1 rom cus 2.2 roms need odin, but I try to install and I get a signature error or whatever. I'm about to throw the phone against the wall, crack the screen, and use my warranty and get a new phone cus I literally tried EVERYTHING. I spent my ****ing 8 hours of my saturday trying to fix this.
Try a different computer my new Dell XPS 9100 will never reconize my Epic, however, my wifes laptop will always reconize it. I know that sounds weird, I always thought I had a poblem with my phone but it ended up being my computer.

omfg, I used my mom's lappy and the drivers worked. Meaning I can try and use an odin fix.
Odin can be tricky to use because of a few factors other than itself. 1) if you can, use a deskto pc and attach to a usb port literally on the motherboard, no front or pci, this may work, but this I what I found (reading countless threads) to be the most failsafe for everyone. 2) your sammy usb cable is for charging or non critical data transfer ONLY, as it is garbage... repeatedly proven in the threads. 3) reboot pc and phone, boot phone into download mode, (hold down 1. On physical keyboard and press power... DO NOT CONNECT YET! Start up odin, place files where needed (.pit, etc...) uncheck all but what you're told in the flashing instructions with the file you're flashing, most have awesome detals, but sometimes your little issue is resolved on page 50 of the thread... not in the OP. Ok so now plug in the usb connection, odin should find it. If it doesn't, search for drivers, uninstall, reinstall start over, OR you have a bad connection, refer back to usb port and cable. I have 1 out of 4 mobo usb ports that the drivers will maintain a connection to, so try another. Then, once odin has a connection, make sure you're following the guides to the T (and read all the posts)... after that, odin is your best friend. The problem lies elsewhere... odin is the goods. If you have run into problems maintaining connection, and plan to re-root, read all the one click posts and if it drops connection a lot, enter the commands in one by one, repeat if one fails till it sticks. There are way better guides, but you seem to have run into the same issues I did, and after hours and hours, I got that scary ass reconnect me now screen. Just read the whole threads, and if your problem hasn't already been resolved, post in the appropriate thread, so others may learn from your discoveries!
Don't give up, once you figure out the quirks of the relationship between your pc and phone, and of course meticulously follow instructions, your elation when successful will make you forget that pesky 'bricked' screen... trust me I got it too, and no matter how much everyone says you can't brick these following instructions on here... its still scary till it all works. If things are wonky, wipe, go back to DI18 and start over... or just sit tight for froyo roms... good luck!
Oh, and sorry for no links, but it would seem you've probly already read em all... not sure I can do links...
Maybe its just my eeepc that doesn't like the drivers, good luck! Sounds like you're on the way... oh don't forget with the drivers to let em install on connect, leave it plugged in for like 10 mins, unplug, it will then complain it wasn't done, reconnect, then after that finishes, reboot. Crazy drivers...
At least I got a computer recognizing my phone, so I can try and use odin. I've been trying to use this fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9755894#post9755894
and so far odin has been stuck at this one step "file analysis..."
Yeah I used that method to no avail, but it was about 3 pasts old at the time, so I figured id try
something more stable. Tried a couple dk17 roms, then went back to 2.1 and am now using syndicate xtreme. Id suggest going back to DI18, then go from there. Let me check for another post of mine, theres a dialer code I had to do too at one point...
Ok when doing one click root, someone suggested ##8778# in the dialer, then keyboard enter, then set UART to pda not modem. This and removing comodo firewall, all the sudden my intermittent connection was solid. Not responsible for what this does, but it worked for me. Never found out what it does..... still curious. So this may help you even in odin, try to flash di18 after doing this, then the all in one rom you're looking at...
Oddly enough, I managed to semi-brick my phone several hours ago - my wireless adapter was on the same USB header, and both the wireless adapter and the phone crapped out while trying to flash with Odin.
Thankfully I was still able to get into download mode, and plugging the phone into a different USB port worked fine.
After some more research, about 10 hours of it, odin finally cooperated with me after I downloaded about every kind of file that could make my phone work and finally got it into 2.1
I first flashed the stock kernal to get it working, then flashed stock 2.1
Now I'm that my phone isn't rooted anymore I tried installing 2.2 through the recovery menu and I still get error status 7. Any ideas?
Probly best to post in the thread for the package/rom you are trying to install... others using it should be able to help... or you can do a 2.1 rom and wait for a final froyo based rom... glad to hear you're not bricked... the only way I've heard you can absolutely do that with these is installing a GSM rom or something crazy like that... but non-functional phone is scary regardless...

Alright I completely fixed my phone. After I rooted my phone on 2.1, I then used odin v1.6 to install the froyo .tar file into pda and it worked. I then rooted it again so now I'm back to normal. Honestly, I did so many things I forgot what I did but I now have my phone functional. Thanks for help everyone, I greatly appreciate it!
I know this is possible depending on the phone, but on the Vibrant I have not found a way to install clockwork mod without using USB. I saw that mobile odin was an option for some samsung phones but not the Vibrant.
My usb port is dead, no warranty etc. I bought it for 70 in like new condition with knowledge that the port was bad. I figured that the port needed to be soldered back down. But after taking the phone apart, I don't see anything wrong with it. Its not loose on the board, but the socket itself is loose inside.
The baseband is KA2 Eclair. I got it rooted with the oneclickroot tool.
On a side note, the phone also came with pictures of the seller and all his girlfriends naked . Not pretty
So let me review what you want to do, you want to install CWR without having a USB port. Seems easy enough.
Firstly, find a app that will let you connect to your phone to your computer, apps like Dropbox, Box, and this app i put up on these forums a bit ago will do more than just the job HERE
install one of those, which ever you like. I'll use the MIUI File Manager as a example throughout this post because its the easiest.
Open the app, go to the FTP and start service, go to your computer open MY COMPUTER and type in ftp://all your #'s
Put this file in your ROOT meaning just in sdcard/ no folders just drag and drop it in there. DO NOT RENAME,EXTRACT OR ANYTHING TO THE .ZIP just put it in the sdcard/
*Thanks for the CWR file from Woodrube and S15*
Now go into Recovery mode on your phone
Power + Volume up and down ( i think )
Press REINSTALL PACKAGES
It SHOULD say something like booting into clockwork recovery.
it will reboot, if it goes to clock work recovery, GREAT. If not, press Reinstall Packages AGAIN and it should directly go there.
Just reply if i'm explaining something wrong or if you need more help.
Or you could just download and install rom manager and flash clockworkmod through there. No offense xriderx, just seems like a lot of work to just install cwr that a single app can do as well.

To each his own, Rom Manager never has worked great on my phone. Even bricked it completely once and I don't believe it was user error.
Relevant guide, +1 cookie. One suggestion though, organize the steps a bit further so there is a clear distinction between steps.
ie:
• Now go into Recovery mode on your phone, Power + Volume up and down ( i think )
• Press REINSTALL PACKAGES. It SHOULD say something like booting into clockwork recovery. it will reboot, if it goes to clock work recovery, GREAT. If not, press Reinstall Packages AGAIN and it should directly go there."
Anywho, to the OP: Since it's rooted, why aren't you simply downloading ROM Manager from the market and installing CWR from there?
edit/ beaten
Don't get me wrong, your tutorial is spot on, I just never had any problems with ROM manager before so I threw it out as a suggestion.

As far as the port goes, Eugene, Krylon360 and myself all fried ours when we were porting the V4G - so you may not visibly see anything wrong with it at all.
Thanks guys, I ended up semi bricking the phone . Even though it was my 6th droid device. Not sure what I did, I was in recovery and everything was working, then went to reboot and it was stuck on the Galaxy screen, could no longer get into recovery. Too bad that USB port was out . I ended up just reselling it to a guy for parts and still made some profit off it. Shame though, that AMOLED display was beautiful. Ended up getting a G2X yesterday for 195, just missed one at 150 on craigslist. Already got it up with CM 7.2 with a minor OC. Hopefully towards then end of this year I might be able to get a Galaxy 2 for cheap.

i have tried this.
but gingerbread loader and froyo loader are different.
it gave an error at flashing and stopped flashing.
Hmmm. That would require fastboot huh. Don't know of a wireless way to use that. Is there an unroot procedure you could do from your sdcard without a cord and then re-root to gb perhaps?

Just use Odin, don't shortcut it. The OP here has a very very basic idea of the reason and necessity to change these files, and has not provided a complete set of steps in two different "guides" he has posted here, and nobody has been successful as per the reports.
Bottom line, save both yourself and dev in the future a headache, and just use Odin.

its very sad ((((
Just a reminder to some who have USB port problems. I'm not trying to insult anyone's intelligence here but remember Samsung phones are picky about USB cables.
I know because my phone was Semi bricked while doing Odin. Turned out my original Samsung cable went bad halfway through Odin'ing a new bootloader. After two months of playing with it I tried literally 5 different data cables that all fully worked for other phones and a few cheap off the street cables. Some would not even charge my vibrant but would work fine for data and charge on my wife's LG Quantum. Hard to find good micro-USB cables here in Peru. Finally I ended up modifying my original cable with another cable's micro-usb connector and wrapping a separate ground wire around the shield to get it to work. Samsung phones must require really good shielding to communicate and possibly not all cables have the shield connected on both sides or are properly shielded.

Check out 'mobileODIN' on the market.
So my nexus won't charge unless its off.. and it won't connect to my computer either. I can't send it in to Sam's club (or can i?) if its rooted. I needdddddd some major help figuring out some way i can replace it... a way to unroot + lock the bootloader. Please? anyoneeeee? By the way... i have no idea how to use adb and stuff because i used a one-click script :/
Things like this is where I really hate how there are one click scripts.
If you aren't knowledgeable about what the tool is doing, don't do it.
Since its probably easier for you to just use another one click tool, use Wug Fresh's one click and use "Return to Stock"
Please, for the love of god, don't do this to your device if you don't know what you are doing.

He said he can't connect to his PC (broken USB port, I guess).
You may be able to unroot it, but you probably cannot lock the bootloader without USB. Sorry, I don't know of a way to.
OP, you could at least do a Factory data reset under Backup & reset in Settings. I doubt that that would lock and unroot the device, but I don't think Sam's Club would really care.
Is it because you need someone to set up the drivers and get ADB working on your computer?
Is your device recognized at all when you connect it to a computer?
You can probably try to factory reset, if you haven't flashed other ROMs.
Also, if you flashed ClockWork Mod bootloaders, Google how to root HTC One X.

I have adb set up... just no idea how to use it. No, it isnt.
I did factory reset... to no avail...
1. Did you install a custom Kernel or ROM?
2. Your computer doesn't even make any sort of "ding" sound when you plug the tablet in? How about if you slowly wiggle the cable around in the tablet?
Well if you managed to root your tablet using a toolkit then you're computer must have a functioning port. the toolkit probably has a return to stock option so run it. Factory/data resets will only wrote the data partition but will not touch system/bootloader. You will need access to a computer in order to fully return to stock with the bootloader locked.

How did you root it if your PC doesn't recognize it. Make sure adb is enabled in dev options. Also try typing "adb devices" in your computer after you have adb setup. If it doesn't work get the universal drivers from the dev section and reinstall the drivers.
Boot into the bootloader (Power+Volume down), does your computer detect anything at all?
Any unknown devices or familiar device names in "Device manager"?
Edit: It might be Volume up and down with power... Don't remember.... I always use ADB to go into the bootloader.
You had it right, volume down+power=bootloader.
Like a couple people said..you used a computer to get in you can use it to get out. I've pretty much screwed and unscrewed just about everything on this tablet..probably been in the same situation here too. Its a nexus device, I'd actually be impressed if you did something not easily fixable. Maybe a little more thorough explanation of exactly what you have done so far, how you've done it, and what you've done it with. Paint us a picture. Should be a very simple fix. Small details can make a huge difference.

I believe he is having the same problem that I am. It worked fine at one point(mine worked fine for two weeks), then something happened and now the usb port does not work while powered on. I cannot charge it or connect to a computer via usb while powered up. If i turn off the tablet, I can charge it. I have tried multiple cables/chargers with the same results. Originally I was able to connect via ADB to my computer with this tablet, but cannot anymore. Also, I swapped the usb port hardware out of my nexus 7 with my wife's nexus 7 to see if it was the plug. Same result. The port from my tablet works just fine in hers, but hers does not work in mine. I'm not sure what happened, but I cannot unroot/lock the device without the USB so I cannot return it. Very depressing.

Have you tried WugFresh's toolkit? There's a flash stock + unroot with a “can't boot up" option. Then you can relock the bootloader.

Yea but not adb. Might even be able to start with tablet off. Not sure if either will work but its an easy start. You've used fastboot before right? It's easy. The toolkit thread will walk you through a couple simple steps. Again, don't get your hopes up it's just an easy start.

I have a mt xt926 from Verizon, I probably try everything from internet, spend several hours on several forums and nothing, i downloaded all firmwares utilities etc. the phone keeps on the Encryption Unsuccessful and just I have the option to shutdown the phone and volume, I used this nice tool
Droid RAZR HD Utility 1.33
Created by mattlgroff
nothing happens, and in this tool are all the codes and methods that I search on internet, if please someone can help me with this,
I copy the fmw VZW_XT926_4.1.2_9.8.1Q_62_VQW_MR-4_VQW_CFC.xml to an micro sd to try to restore the phone in the recovery mode, nothing!, wipe erase, nothing, RSD Lite and nothing, on the rsd i try changing the xml file editing the lines with a lot of lines that i found on internet, and correct the md5 and nothing, the last I found, some ppl with the same problem and the same phone, that just are giving back to verizon because the internal memory is done.. what do you thing guys, thank you help!
sorry im not sure i can help you but i had a question just to clarify your issue.
you tried to encrypt the phone and it failed, now you cant find any way to fix the phone that will work because of the encryption problem? is that correct.
if that is correct, it seems like you need a file that will re-write the partitions, but i dont remember seeing one for this phone. i could be wrong.

the only other thing i could suggest is trying one of these http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm
"Depending upon the model of the phone, it may also boot up differently than it does with a normal USB cable.
For example, a Motorola Napoleon will actually say "Factory Cable Connected" on the display when booting into flash mode with this cable connected. When a Droid X, Droid 2, or Droid Pro boots with this cable, it will only present to the host computer the USB devices necessary for flashing, but none of the other devices like ADB, USB mounting, etc. In fact, if you boot the OS of the phone (instead of to the bootloader) the Droid X doesn't even bring up the USB attached options when using this cable (as though the OS isn't even aware of it). Yet RadioComm, RSD Lite, etc. all recognize and operate with the phone like normal"

Hi every one ..
First of I'd like to tell u guys that i respect the helpful souls that you all have ...
Second .. let's get to the point ..
I have a galaxy s5 g900v (NI2) build
I wanted to root this device but I faced a problem with connecting it to the pc
I tried everything ... samsung drivers .. battery pull .. but what ever I do its still not showing .. (note that I rooted my friends phones on the same laptop and everything works fine)
I think it's a problem with the charging port .. but I'm not sure cuz everything else is going well (charging and otg cable)
Can I root the phone using stock recovery mode using (apply update through sd card)?
If the answer is no ..
Is there a chance that if i updated to lollipop that the usb will work?
Any suggestions to solve this problem?

You're able to connect to the computer as a media device and transfer files?
Look in the port with a flashlight to see if there's any obvious damage, or pocket lint or something.
Try a couple different microUSB cables, and try different USB ports on your laptop. Also try it on a different computer if possible. If none of that works, you're probably dealing with a damaged data port. In other words, you'd be out of luck (unless you're really good at soldering very small components, and have a high tolerance for risk).
You can't flash anything but full system updates through stock recovery. Updating won't fix a hardware issue.
You're in a bit of a catch-22: all methods of flashing kernels, apart from Odin, first require root access (flashfire, safestrap, kernel flashing apps), and you need to be able to flash an NCG kernel to obtain root.

I had the same problem it would charge correctly and it'd connect to the computer for a split second before it disconnected but would still charge and I thought it was the data port because my dog was clawing at my phone while it was on my couch trying to get her ball and I thought that messed it up i wound up having to reflash my ROM and do a full wipe everything but SD card to fix it but it did fix it so in my opinion upgrading would work but beware you won't be able to downgrade to 4.4 again if u do

It's worth a try. See if you can find a BOD5 update image. That would preserve your ability to downgrade to KitKat, since BOE1 and later lock the bootloader.
