So at first, I wanted a clean start up with my phone. I connected my phone(X-Note 18) to the pc and it showed up; I could access internal storage aswell as external.
After making the backup I flashed Pac Rom and yet I could connect it to the PC without any trouble.
Now I noticed that Pac wasn't my rom(Flashaholic), I went back to X-Note 18. but now the storage didn't show up(I've got the samsung modem driver installed).
Yet the Device manager shows me that the phone is connected.
After that I reinstalled Samsung modem driver; didn't help so I uninstalled it
Installed kies; Kies didn't find the device and gave an error(Also my device gave a warning that the computer didn't have the right software to find it).
Reflashed Pac rom; which gave me access to the storage just like before!
Reflashed X-Note 18; problem was back again.
So I decided to go back to stock and flashed the official NG1 firmware from Sammobile. which gave me access to the storage again.
Rooted, installed X-Note again. And yet again; no storage.
Is there anyone who can help me out with this?
Thanks in advance!

My friend rooted his Galaxy Tab, and attempted to install a custom rom on it. For some reason, he flashed a jelly bean gapps zip, and now all of the google apps force close (still on the stock rom). This happens even after a full wipe and factory reset, since I would assume the wrong gapps has still been flashed. I downloaded ROM manager from the tablet's browser and tried flashing CWM recovery, but when I reboot into recovery, it just shuts off, and after a while, it's reverted back to the stock recovery (where I can't install zip from sdcard). In addition to this, for some reason, the tablet never gives the option to view files and folders on PC when connected via USB, so I can't even copy the zip files over (USB debugging is enabled). There isn't even any mount/unmount options in the storage settings.
What's going on here, and how can I fix this? As of now, it seems I can't do anything and I may just give it back to my friend.

If you're looking to restore the tablet back to original purchased state then check out this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342995
Install Kies before using Odin as that will give you the proper drivers assuming you're using a Windows PC. The drivers will install the first time that you have Odin set up and you have the tablet in download mode. More than likely, even though you clicked start, Odin will sit or hang like it's waiting for something. If it sits for a while without doing anything at all, early on, close Odin and restart the setup process again. This time around the drivers are already installed and it should go smoothly from there. The tablet will restart on its own when its finished and after long boot you'll be greeted by the intial setup. It should naturally do about 3 software updates once setup is complete. That means that it will download the 1 update at a time and ask you if you want to install. After each reboot you should see more downloading activity until updates are complete I recommend after the very first boot you shut off mobile data and use Wifi only as these updates may munch up data...
Good luck.:fingers-crossed:
Wow, I really appreciate your response. I'll try this out later today, and post back with what happened (Can't right now as I'm at work). Thanks for your help!
Ok something weird just happened. I am using TWRP and I backed up my current ROM. I went to wipe via TWRP to install a new ROM and it just rebooted my device instead of wiping it. So I decided to upgrade TWRP to the newest version (as I had 2.6.2 or such) to see if it was the version of TWRP I was using. I downloaded it via GOO and installed it and I rebooted and it took the device a long time to reboot. It then acted like I just installed a new ROM which I did not...I still had my custom boot screen...I then connect it to my computer and it shows that I only have 1.12 GB of storage free yet I do not see ANY of my files. It looks and acts like a brand new device yet it shows that I am using 11 gigs of storage.....I have NO CLUE how to get it back to the way I had it...any advice? I was going to try a wipe but TWRP just reboots and does not wipe anything. I do not want to loose my files but at this point it looks like I am going to.
I ended up wiping my entire device and starting new. I am glad that I use Foldersync.
Hi,
As the tittle suggest, I've managed to brick my phone.
The phone isn't responding at all, and acts as though the battery is pulled out. When I connect it to my PC, it shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD, and there are no drivers.
Note that this is the same PC I used to flash cyanogenmod 10.2, so I have all the required samsung drivers. Also, it's the odin doesn't detect my phone.
The last steps I took before my phone died:
1) installed App2SD
2) partitioned my SD
3) installed and configured linux swap
4) restarted
After that, the phone got angry and just wouldn't respond. I didn't even have time to transfer any of my apps to the SD.
The phone has a custom rom installed (cyanogenmod 10.2). Already took it to a service place, with no luck..
Any ideas?
Thanks

You're in a rough spot here. You only have two possible options:
1) See if someone with your phone can make a debrick img file similar to this idea -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660566
I haven't seen anyone say they have tried something similar on your phone, but the only other option will be...
2) JTAG Service such as this -

If you're getting QHSUSB drivers, you're past the help of conventional unbricking methods using tools like Kies, Odin, or Heimdall.
Thanks, you've given me some hope! I have some data I would really like to restore..
I'll try and post back here if I get some results

If you want to read the below learning experience you may gain some knowledge but at this point I believe my method may have flaws. While it seemed fine at first the problem listed directly below could not be fixed without using Odin to flash a stock ROM back onto the phone. It had checked the hidden menu settings for MTP and ADB and PDA, CP etc and all were correct (I have another good working S5 to compare these values to). I tried an earlier restore of a TWRP backup and that just blew up with all sorts of FC's on boot. So thank goodness for Odin. After flashing the stock rom it booted fine and I can now write files from the PC to the phone again via USB. In the process right now of re-rooting, installing TWRP and doing a restore of my last backup.
Note : I have found one problem I am currently working on after using this method. I can hook up the phone to the PC and get a link, open folders on the phone and can copy file from the phone to the PC but can NOT copy files from the PC to the phone. More later .....
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S5 from US Cellular. Other than a few people in the Motorola subforum here trying this I haven't seen this exact method described here so apologies if I missed it somewhere - tried many searches. It seemed so easy - maybe it is just considered SOP for some - don't know so I'm going to run the details by here anyway in case it saves anyone some trouble. Do read my warnings below though before you attempt this.
1 - You want TWRP installed (or Philz CM Touch will probably work too - seems a bit more complex though) If you are flashing ROM's having TWRP or some other custom recovery is always a good idea and I'm sure most people have one of them.
2 - Always do a complete backup with TWRP before flashing anything new. You did a backup before going to Lollipop didn't you?
3 - So you are tired of the white screen, battery sucking, quirky Lollipop or maybe that Cyanogen Lollipop mod didn't quite work for you and you want the old Kitkat back. So fire up TWRP, go into Advanced wipe and wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache. You aren't done wiping yet though. After you swiped to wipe those go back to the previous page and Swipe to Factory Reset. That may not actually make any difference but I just did it for good measure and my method worked great.
4 - Now without out even needing to reboot find your latest backup of Kitkat 4.4.2 that you have on your Internal SD or External SD card (you do keep one there don't you in case your phone glitches on you while you are out and about?)
5 - Do a Restore of everything - Boot, Recovery, System, Data, Cache.
6 - Reboot. You are done.
Firstly I need to add that I had flashed Cyanogen Mod 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1) after following directions here in the main Cyanogen subforum to flash that on my KitKat 4.4.2 Galaxy S5 phone. What may be noteworthy is that after flashing CM 12.1 I ran the App PhoneInfo Plus (made mostly for Samsungs) and the OS version showed as Lollipop 5.1 but some of the build numbers to my recollection showed 4.4.2. So this was not a stock Lollipop OTA - it was the Cyanogen mod of Lollipop made by developers here. I just assumed they started with Lollipop to make that latest 5.1 build but I haven't followed the Cyanogen mod much at all so I don't know if they have borrowed bits and pieces of Kitkat in their builds. If they have done that then this downgrade method may not work the same for an OTA Lollipop.
Another warning - I noticed in the Motorola subforum here that some people bricked their phone trying this type of downgrade with TWRP however I believe that is because they had Verizon phones with locked bootloaders and that is not the case for my phone (US Cellular) or any other phones beside VZ as far as I know. If you have a Verizon with locked bootloader beware! I will also add that on my first boot after restoring Kitkat 4.4.2 that the second the home screen was up I started quickly scanning through my app pages and the phone rebooted itself. I believe it wasn't fully done loading the OS and it just was a hiccup. It has not happened since after trying all sort of things. Everything is working great.
I saw most people recommending to use Odin to flash a stock Kitkat firmware back on the phone in order to downgrade from Lollipop. Then you need to re-install all your apps or maybe do a restore of a recovery but with this method using TWRP you bypass most of that and get it all done in one TWRP session.
Another note about what I read people having a problem with upon downgrading - some were losing their IMEI when using Odin to flash the original firmware. I still have my original IMEI with no problem. That is another reason I think this method may be better than using Odin for this downgrade. I'll add that there are a lot of people around here with a whole lot more knowledge about flashing and custom ROM's than me so don't take my ideas as hard fact without doing your own research for your particular phone and particular situation.
I can copy FROM the internal and external SD card to PC but not PC to either internal or external SD card and the permissions seem to be correct for the folders I'm trying to copy into. Anyone have any ideas on that? However I was able to use AirDroid (Wifi) to copy files to the phone from the PC - no real surprise there but it reaffirms that I can write to those folders - just not with the USB cable.
More info. I just decided to run the App KitKat external SD Card patch. It failed. I believe I ran that before flashing Lollipop and it worked but now it fails. ?? I don't know if it is related to this problem since both internal and external SD are having a problem - but only via USB.
I tried another Galaxy S5 with same computer and cable and that one works fine to copy to the SD cards so that eliminates the cable or computer. AirDroid - Wifi works but only a problem one way with USB - WTF?

Well thanks to TWRP AND Odin all is well once again in Androidland
I started having issues with my phone and tried to fix them. The problem was simple. The sensors stoped working. First I tried a hard reset (didn't work). Installed Lineage OS. Didn't fix the issue and made some errors form the install. Tried the stock ROM. I tried two of them with the first one I discovered that it was a problem with the firmware of the sensors. The I tried an older version thinking that the firmware wouldn't be compatible and that it would work better. (I'm not entirely sure but I think it was this version MPD24.65-18.1)
The installation went well without problems. The firmware was (again) downgraded (and later upgraded without asking permission). The big issue is that my phone now is unable to connect with the computer. When I plug it it starts to charge but nothing more happens. The computer isn't aware that it has anything plugged (according to the ports). So I cannot run adb and cannot change anything on the phone. I tried to install from a SD card on the recovery mode but I think I'm not doing it as it should. I plug the card and run the updater from the SD. The first thing that is odd is that it actually displays the internal memory. And then when I run either a OTA.zip or a compress of a build named PG86IMG.zip I get a verification error.
I do not know what to do. I would like either to have working sensors or the 7.1.1 version.
