[PROGRAM] Infiniflash v1.2 ~ It makes life easier.

The purpose of this program is to make my life easier when developing on the Android Platform. At he same time it may also make your life easier. I would like to keep this project totally open source and I include all of the source files withing the .zip that it comes in. What does this program do? It will allow you to flash custom ROMs straight from your computer, fast and hassle-free.
In this new version, I have done a ton of error/big fixes, rewrote quite a lot, and finally added wiping functionality. Enjoy!
Infiniflash REQUIRES that your device has ClockworkMod Recovery or any recovery that supports /cache/recovery/extendedcommand.
By the way, if you can think of a better name/icon for this program, please, please, please tell me.

I have a DHD as well and had the same issue. You must install the driver for it to work on your device.
1) Visit this link to download and install HTC Sync (which contains the driver): http://goo.gl/P3ZP1
2) After installation plug your device in.
3) To verify you have the driver, open the Infiniflash folder, hold the shift key and right click on the tools folder. Click open command prompt.
4) Now type in the command: adb devices
5) If your device showed up, it worked! Otherwise, try restarting or syncing your phone in HTC Sync, it should start working eventually.
6) Now that you have the driver, Infiniflash will *hopefully* work from now on.
Best of luck
Cheers.

This looks awesome, and I would use it but is there a different button for wiping to ext 4 and 3? All the roms I seem to switch between use different formats.
Thanks

By wiping to ext3 & ext4 do you mean formatting the /system partition to one of those formats? If so I might be able to implement it or make an add-on . By the way, which device requires you to do that? I've never heard of that before... are you sure it's a requirement?

Oops Double Post.

Has anyone successfully used this program?

even tho i cannot use this app as i am on linux i will salute your development as this app is a great idea. thank you for your contribution. wish i knew more about programming and could help port this over to linux but alas...

Thank you very much! I think I'll port it over soon, but the only bad part about that is that I have no idea how to make GUI's in Linux so it would be command line only .
It's funny that you mention that though because I'm a Linux user myself and never really thought about it.

[Q] MTP USB Device problem

Today, When I connect my Nexus 4 to my computer it starts to install the drivers.
The driver consist of 3 parts, but the last one, the MTP USB device, fails to install. I tried restarting my pc and also tried alternate drivers for Windows 7 32bit.
Anyone familiar with this problem and/or it's solution?

Download and install these usb drivers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998650.

edit.. oops, seems i cannot read.

Uninstall the drivers that you have already attempted to install. If you want fastboot/adb, install the usb drivers manually linked 2 posts above me. If you want to simply copy files, make sure you have at least windows media player 11 installed and it will take care of the rest.

Easy way... Turn off USB debugging
Better way... Edit the mtp inf file so it works in USB debugging mode too.. U should find the info with a search.
Edit.. Note..you do need windows media player 11 installed on xp for mtp functionality.

same here. Fix?

does anyone know ?

same here but after searching a while and only be able to connect via MTP I found this not a state of the art solution:
I use to rename the file I want to move/copy/paste from xxxx.zip or whatever in xxxx.jpg, even for roms anf kernel
for example I want to copy stremax.zip in my N4 /sdcard/
on the pc just rename it to stremax.jpg
connect via MTP
copy the renamed file to /sdcard
once disconnected use a file manager to rename it to stremax.zip and move/copy/delete or whatever you want
I know, it's rude, some developer is cursing my name, but it works..
other solution is installing airdroid but you need to be on same wi-fi network

Try manually uninstalling and reinstalling drivers?

[Q] Win8 mounting my N4 without a drive letter. Help?

Ok so I am having this problem with my Nexus 4 and the way it is being mounted (if thats the right word) to Windows 8.
I have used the WUGS root toolkit to root and unlock and whatever my phone so I have done the driver thing that comes with that (sorry im a noob) but even before that I was never able to get my N4 to mount "with a drive letter" (if you will).
Here is a screen shot to help explain,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you will notice I have Windows (C and SSD (D and if i were to plug in a USB flash drive it would be assigned a letter and it would show up. For whatever reason it would seem my N4 is being treated as a camera or some other type of device because It is not being given a drive letter. Instead the weird external HD icon is there and then the harddisk icon labeled Internal Storage.
Some things i have tried, or know i have set: Media Device (MTP) is the selected mode on my phone, i have tried it the other way to no success. my phone does have android debugging enabled, I have tried resetting the windows autoplay settings and selecting a different option (before it auto opened explorer to the internal storage folder).
I am currently running Paranoid Android 3.60 however I had the same problem since the day i got my Nexus 4 with stock everything on it. I believe its an issue with the way my windows 8 computer treats it.
If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

I think this has to do with it not having mass storage mode. So that means that a computer will only detect it as a media device, not a USB storage device, and so it isnt mounted, it is accessed. If it was mounted, it would have to be unmounted from the device from which it is connected to, and if it was disconnected, you wouldnt be able to access the files on the phone itself.
Well thats why i think it doesnt mount with a letter.

This makes some sense to me, but can you elaborate on how i might get my computer to mount my android device? is there a reason it was set up like this? Is it my phone or my computer that is the cause? Anything else you can tell me would be great. Thanks

Nothing is the cause, its just how it interacts with a computer, so neither the computer or phone are at fault, its just how the tech is made. I tried googling for you on how to get a MTP device to get a drive letter, but its getting late for me, and im coming up with zilch. I hope someone else can help you out.

hmmmmm, that seems like a flaw in the tech. why did they develop MTP mode / why do we even use it if it lacks the ability to mount it to a drive letter? im assuming there are benefits I am not aware of. Thanks for your help. Ive been doing googling as well but havent come up with anything. I have a little more knowledge on the issue thanks to you and so I will try my searches again. THanks.

How to fix my GT-S5360

About 5 months ago, I installed the Hyperion ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457022) on my phone, and I had no problems wit it. Yesterday, I decided to install the Lenox Evolution V2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462914), and I must have installed it incorrectly, because now my phone appears to have no ROM. It won't let me access recovery mode, only download mode, and Odin won't recognize the device. Is there any way for me to fix my phone?

Download USB driviers from internet and try to change the cable or port.
if not working send it to a repair center

There is no reason that odin won't recognise your device unless you have not installed the proper drivers. Search Web for Samsung adb drivers and install them.

Did it recognize the device in the past? Odin shouldn't be depended on Kernel/Rom, as long as you have the correct drivers.
Here is a good albeit slightly outdated guide (just use the up to date versions).

Normally, when I want to access the files on my phone, I take out the memory card and use a card reader to access my files.So, I don't know if this has always been the case or not.

Okay, good to know ^^.
Did you shut down all KEIS processes before starting Odin?
Which version of Odin are you using?
I've problems when using a version > 3.09, so maybe "downgrade" and use an older version.
Another possible problem: defective cable. I've heard that Odin may be a bit picky even if the cables connects fine under windows.

I too have the same problem ..... I ve tried everythng ...bt it is not at all recognized ... Bt earlier.. I ve twice flashed using odin...

Might be a problem with your pc try on a different one once.
And make sure you are not using a hub or an usb extender.

Uninstall/reinstall drivers/KIES.
Use Windows XP/7
If you have the possibility: Try the process in a VM.

U can connect usb in deffrent port
And u can Get latest version of keis on the pc /u might need to remove any usb drviers like said before
If win 8/8.1
Run installation on prems of Admins
And compatiblty of win 7
If win 7 just run as admin

Try to use odin v1.85 connect phone to pc w/o the battery, then insert the battery while holding the volume down and home key

Thank you for all your help @mohamedrashad @Souroking @KaffeeKiffer @myaservip @epipok
I managed to get my phone working again! :victory:
I uninstalled Kies and drivers, re-installed Kies and drivers, and connect in different USB ports until it worked. I think the problem was to do with the drivers not being correctly installed (maybe the installation process was terminated before completion?)
Thank you again for everything! :smile:

[Q] Possible Write Protection Situation? Can't Install Nothing.. Need Help!

My friend just gave me a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and he told me that it has a problem and may I can fix.
I've tried everything I know but there is no any progress so far.
Here is the problem;
1. Device is not booting. Hanging out at the first logo (Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505)..
2. I thought it's a simple problem.. I can make factory reset and it may work.
3. I entered recovery and I've seen this;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. The problem seems big than I thought. I thought maybe it may work if I put original firmware. Downloaded from sammobile and nothing changed. Then I decided to install a recovery.
5. I choose TWRP and installed it with these settings. Result on computer;
Result on Phone;
6. And tried to enter recovery, result was successful !!
7. Then Enter 'Advanced' > 'Terminal Command'
8. I just checked 'whoami' on terminal;
9. I can delete everything if I'm root right? So let's try.. 'ls' and get list..
10. Let's delete etc and efs folders. I have the power!
11. Let's reboot device, enter recovery again.. and let's see if I'm successfully deleted directories;
As you can see, device is always saying that Failed to mount /efs (no such file or directory) and more. I can only install recovery. And I can't delete or change anything else. Neither I can't install new firmware.
Do you have any idea? What is this? I want to fix this stupid situation.
I just tried to explain the situation with photos. Hope it wasn't boring.
Thank you for reading.

Have you tried with Kies?
Or maybe trying to flash a custom ROM?
Did you ask if he did something to cause this?
Edit: I once had an SD card which was broken. I could create/copy and delete stuff but as soon as I removed the SD from any device it was connected to, everything was back to it's previous state (deleted files were back and copied stuff was gone). I tried formatting but same thing happened.
Maybe something is wrong with the internal storage.
Try to convert to another file system format.

I've tried with Kies 2.6 and Kies 3..
Kies 3 says 'unsupported device'
Kies 2.6 just waiting waiting and nothing..
I couldn't put any files to internal storage.. Also it doesn't recognize any sd card.
I don't know how to change the file system?

I mean to ext4 or f2fs, or whatever.
I don't know how to do it either. I never had the need to do it. I don't even know if you can in this situation, but you could try. There should be several guides on the internet on how to do it. Just google it.
Does a pc recognize the phone? Have you tried pushing something to it via adb?

Sure it's recognize.. I'm able to install recovery with Odin.
But when you did turn-off and turn-on, everything is reversing.. Like never installed.

So it's basically exactly like the issue that I described about my broken SD card.
I think it may be an internal storage problem. Maybe it's broken. I don't see why or how something would trigger a write protection.

If the internal storage is dead then I don't think there is much you can do. You could try taking it to specialized service
