Hello all. First of all, I am new to ROMing and stuff.
I have IDEOS u8800 pro. Originally had froyo 2.2.2. So, I downloaded original overseas 2.3.5 from Hauwei site, willing to upgrade to ICS original. It went to 2.3.5, but, from that moment on, have a lot of problems.
1. WIFI and Bluetooth won't work.
2. Can't uprade to ICS. Stuck to step 2
3. Can't use USB mass storage in pink screen. When I turn the phone on pink screen, when I plug usb nothing happens. I have debug usb mode, installed drivers, my plug works to transfer data, but in pink screen, nothing happens.
4. There are not any Wipe Dalvik Cache or extra menu.
I don't want to root my device yet, just to make my phone work normally again and upgrade to ICS, if I can.
Any ideas?
anyone? please?

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
Do u have samsung drivers?

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?

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.

Do you have a cheap SD card? When I connect and try opening the drive from the windows explorer it says connect the drive. I have to use the SE software to open 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.

No need for detailed instructions.
Just use the official SE Tool. Can be found here -
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ds/subject/updateservice/1.915711?cc=gb&lc=en
This will give you a direct stock unrooted phone running 2.3.3 with all bloatware and crap installed too. Just like you would find straight out the box.

No you cannot, it will brick it!! Either use blagus' bootloader relock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134334&page=2 then use SEUS to reintsall fresh.
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)
Also you mentioned "it no longer gives me the option of connecting the SD card when connected via USB" dunno if its this. But if the usb conection mode (setting>sony ericsson>conectivity>usb conection mode) is set to Media transfer mode (MTP) it wont ask you to connect the sd but if its set to mass storage mode (MSC) it asks for you to connect sd.

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 :-(

I think i know the answer for this one.
You need to install the drivers that come with the flashtool.
They should be in the drivers folder.
Let me know if it worked !

I've installed the ggsetup ones, there are 3 rars in there too, but theyre all for the x8 or x10. I've a play, what do I do? I went to reinstall ggsetup and it said it's already installed...
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.

Not to sound dumb, but are you using the same cord as your wife to try and make transfers? I have a computer in my living room, with 2 different USB Cords that my wife and I use for charging in the evenings. One of them connects to the computer properly, the other is unreliable for data and wont ever recognize a phone attached to it. Figured I'd ask so you can rule that out.
Also if the USB port is plugged into a hub, or front of the PC, try moving it to a USB port in the back of your PC that is directly attached to the motherboard. Also make sure there is nothing inside your phone USB slot. I have had some crap get in there (hence the slider on top I NEVER close when I unplug it, ) and it wouldn't connect to PC either.
These are both obvious solutions but we might as well try and start there. Let me know. I'd say uninstall/reinstall the drivers on the computer also, but if one phone works, and the other doesn't so it's not the drivers.
I had a similiar problem where my GF's phone connected fine with USB debugging on but my phone wouldn't. Tried goin back to stock...everything. Finally just put USB debugging on, plugged my phone in, went to Device Manager and where it said Samsung Android, I hit update drivers from Windows Update. Took like 20 minutes but everything worked fine after that.
I am using same chord and port as I did with my wives phone. Good question. I cleaned the contacts in the usb port still nothing. I had usb debugging on... Just tried it with it off nothing.... I really think I may have garbage data or something messing it up. When I installed ask these roms over the last year I only cleared data like once every 10-20 rom loads our when the rom did it itself. I've never had any issues til now.

If it comes up as unknown device then you'll need to go into the device manager and unistall the software for it. Then advance install the drivers for the unknown device it should then recognise the phone and install the Samsung usb composite device, gadget serial control, and the Samsung mobile Modem. Hope this helps

Samsung Galaxy S2 Stuck in ODIN Mode
I too have a similar issue.
My Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 fails to connect to my computer (also tried another computer and different usb cable), after a failed attempt to upgrade to ICS 4.0. The phone will not load up now to 'normal' operating mode.
It will only come up to the message:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can no longer get into Recovery or Download modes. At least none that work. (See below)
I also built and tried the USB jig solution, which does power on the phone, but it then comes up and says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME" GT-19100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!
Any ideas?
Perhaps you can ask in the correct Epic Touch thread instead of the Epic with the keyboard thread. More likely someone there will be able to help you.

EDIT: Forgot to add this but, when I turn the phone off and then turn it back on, when its turning back on and when that little ANDROID thing comes up, the phone is detected, but as soon as the phone turns on it loses connection :///

Didn't happen on Pcfighter's ROM, it says "Driver not found".
I installed this and then ADB and fastboot started work. After the installation, unplug and insert the cable. It should say say "Installing device driver" or something like that.
for me it works just plug the phone and wait if it does not work then keep retrying :/
For me I hit it like 20 times but the installation window just never comes up
BTW I was talking about the program jhonnyx1000 gave me to run. Isn't there a workaround instead of having to use LG Mobile Updater? Please guys I really want 2.1 on my phone! Or the latest version avaliable!
It worksss

Have you tried to enable MTP connection?
You could always return it to stock?
Download a stock ROM, stick the Tab into Download mode, and flash the ROM using Odin. It'll probably wipe the data on it but you'll have a working 3.2 Tab again.
