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!
I'm trying to revert back to stock on my Epic. I previously flashed using Clockwork and wanted to try Odin this time around but when I put the phone into Download mode my computer doesn't recognize the device. I've tried multiple cables and USB ports including one on the board itself. I am using Windows 7x64 and have the 64 bit samsung drivers installed properly. If I do a battery pull and boot the phone normally the computer recognizes the phone no problem.
Any ideas?

I was having a similar issue with my MBpro, nothing would recognize my phone. Tried it on another comp and bingo. I think stuff is just finicky with USB ports. Lame-o.

Yea...this post made my brain hurt...and of course didn't change anything...but..thanks?
Here's another piece of info that may help nail down the problem...
Odin is able to see the phone if I boot into Clockwork recovery mode but because clockwork is up the phone can't receive a flash but Odin does see the phone with no problem. It just still won't see the phone when booted into download mode.

I use windows7 64 too. I encountered tons of problems when trying to flash my epic. first my computer doesn't recognize my phone in download mode. after i wipe out all the drivers and reinstall them. finally i get my computer recognize it under download mode, but Odin froze every time during the flash.
Finally, i tried on another desktop computer with windows XP. Everything went perfectly. So maybe you should try that too.
I cannot connect to my Epic in download mode on mac os x either.
I was trying to install a lag fix, and now all my phone will do when powering on is show switch between the normal Samsung screen, and another reading "Samgung GT I9000".
I can still boot into Clockwork Recovery. But OS X will not recognize my phone.
Either that, or Heimdall isn't recognizing it and won't let me flash.
Help! Any ideas?

If OS X isn't recognising your phone it's likely your phone has the buggy secondary bootloader. Samsung corrected the bootloader for at least the GT-I9000 JPA firmware but I'm unsure if they have done so for other devices or firmware releases.
Unfortunately the only solution then is to use Windows or Linux. If you don't have access to a system running either of these OS then I recommend downloading a 64-bit release (assuming your PC has a 64-bit CPU) of Ubuntu, then you can download the Heimdall binaries from my website and use it to recover your phone.
i had an extremely similar issue as to what you are having. I have 3 win 7 machines and 1 xp, none worked. I went to a friends house he has 2 win 7s and an xp also didnt work. I did a general search and found all kinds of crap. One dude something about using his chicks blackberry usb cord and suddenly it worked on any and all of the machines it had previously not worked. so at the time im reading this on my chicks laptop which has a damn blackberry cord attached to it chargin her evo(go figure) ... anyway u didnt need the whole story but i have nothing to do right now.
Point is everyone says try different cords, i say try the damn blackberry cord if you happen to have one or a friend that has one.

Is it the hardware on the Macbook pro itself? or just the OS? in other words, If I were to partition my macbook with ubuntu would that work with heimdall? would it be able to recognize my phone while it's in download mode as opposed to OSX, which couldn't...?

In this particular instance Apple haven't done anything wrong at all, both their hardware and software is fine. The issue is that Samsung are distributing secondary bootloaders that aren't complaint with the USB specifications.
Whilst that is annoying, the good news for you is that you can simply install Linux (Ubuntu etc.) or Windows on your Macbook and you'll be able to flash just fine.
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?

Sigh.
Finally took the plunge and went all nand on the hd2. Works great, nice and smooth, fast boot, proper wifi/3g speeds, all and all lovely stuff.
BUT, I have the issue of feck all internal phone space (9MB left) been searching the forum for ideas/fixes and found a few.
Only problem is, they all start with me connecting my phone to my pc. HTC sync does not detect the phone, nor android commander. Can't flash clockwork, can't flash a new nand build that has the increased internal memory, can't reboot to recovery.
Ideas?
Thanks
P.S.
Not sure what info you need radio/rom/magldr wise

How were you able to flash your phone to NAND Android if you can't connect it to your PC? Are you sure you aren't having cable/USB issues?
The new (init4) extended memory method is a bit advanced. You need to connect your SD card to your PC via a card reader, not with the phone. You then need to run gparted and follow the rest of the init4 instructions with your card connected to the PC with a card reader.
Once you have your card formatted properly, you can then simply follow the usual method to flash the Android to your phone. See my signature for a tutorial on flashing if you need further instructions.
thanks for the reply,
obliviously this 'phone not being detected' has started since flashing the stock leo build.
I'll take a look at init4 method, and the guide in your sig.
Thanks again!
what rom are you using?
So you power up your device by holding the power button. Go to usb flasher, and connect your phone, and the computer/phone doesn't recognize the connection? You might be having a faulty usb cord/port for your phone or computer.
I would try plugging in the phone, going to Device Manager and uninstalling all drivers related to the HD2. Then, unplug the phone, and restart the computer. Plug the phone back in and let the drivers get reinstalled. Sometimes it's just a stupid driver issue preventing the phone and computer from talking.
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, 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.
