[Q] PC died when upgrading GT540

Like topic says. Was doin' it via LG PC Suite. Now it's only LG logo on my phone. Any ideas what should I do?

Are you planning to install custom ROMs on your phone?
If so, check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16783348&postcount=1
Instead of doing this:
Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and let Windows install any drivers it needs.

Do this instead:
Hold down volume down and plug in the USB cable and 'download mode' should come up on the screen. Let windows install any drivers it needs. Then launch software update.

Hope it fixes your problem and device

Same thing happened to me, bricked my device, took it to phone shop they flashed the board and it worked again, think i could have just entered download mode and reinstalled but, i was a noob then still am tbh

Just put your phone into download mode.
Flash fastboot.
Then reflash your ROM!!
ALL DONE XD

Any
You can flash any ROM you want via fastboot and any failed attempts won't completely brick your phone.

loop boot quickly

Sorry for my English I will try to explain my problem.
After rooting everything was fine, but when I try to flash stock firmware somethings happen.First problem is that my PC cannot detect the phone with Odin and adb or mass storage I am 100% sure that the problem are not the drivers because I root that phone on the same PC before a week and of course I try everything on a another computer, but without success.
Download mode Odin cannot detect the phone! after many attempts to fix usb problem now the phone cannot boot , only in recovery (loop)after every start it's show recovery with message
Filesystems:
system: rfs
data: rfs
cashe: rfs
maybe system, data and cache files are erased I don't know.
recovery version is 0.1.3.b5
How can I flash stock firmware without PC. For example HTC devices can flash from SD card - Gold card, and PB99IMG.zip (I can't explain very well what I mean sorry)
Maybe the phone is usb bricked !
working..
recovery - only recovery
Download mode Volume Down + power off + camera ) - but cannot connect to PC and Odin.
not working
after flashing new costume ROM - the same thing - reboot to recovery
installed software on pc
android SDK,Kiesmini_1.0.0.10075_1,Samsung PC studio 1.5.1.10064_2,Drivers for spica on (Windows 7 x86)
really I cant find post like this !!! and sorry for my English

If you can go to download mode and phone is not detected, then you have bad drivers or bad usb in PC. Try another PC.

I have 3 pc and 2 cables and the same problem cannot detect. Can I flash new stock firmware without odin ?

Have you tried different USB ports, specifically one on the back of the PC?

I told you that the problem is not drivers.Before week I flash another Samsung without problems. I think the problem is USB brick or something else
I HAVE DRIVERS

Calm down. Did you read what I posted above? I said nothing about drivers. Have you tried other USB ports? Most people find the ports on the back of the CPU work the best, not ones on the front, or on a hub. It does make a difference.

Unable to flash anything with fastboot

Hello.
I recently installed the 4.3 ota update. I knew I would have to reroot. After the update I have tried everything I can think of to flash a new recovery or bootloader or anything. All without success. Fastboot simply says "Sending...", the phone says "downloading..." and that's the end of it. They would both sit in that state forever if I let them.
I know I'm not alone on this issue. I have searched and searched without finding a solution. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks.

1. Usb debugging enabled and bootloader unlocked?
2. Correct drivers installed, try these usb naked drivers for instance https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=...=RUlfH35SAJki_DdLfo8MeA&bvm=bv.51773540,d.Yms.
3. Used the original usb cable or tried another usb port?
4. If you type fastboot devices in fastboot mode do you see a serialnumber? The same for adb devices in adb mode?

USB debugging is enabled.
I've tried the original USB cable and others. I've tried different USB ports.
adb works fine. Fastboot recognizes my phone and prints a serial number. Fastboot even works for locking/unlocking the boot loader.
There are no "drivers" in the Linux world. Should I find someone who has a Windows system and ask to use their computer?
Thanks.

So. I solved the problem. I now feel like an idiot.
I plugged my phone into a Windows system and a nice notice popped up saying that my device could run faster if it was plugged into a USB 2.0 port. Then it dawned on me that only a few of the ports on my computer are 2.0 and that I had tried one of them previously but with an extension cable (because it's in the back and hard to reach). I unplugged the extension cable and plugged the USB cable directly into the port and all was well.
I hope that others who have had this issue find this useful.
Thank you for your help.

[Q]_S5360, USB Device Not Recognized_ Help plz

I tried a ROM, and i fail, i can't turn on my phone (s5360), i must back my phone to STOCK ROM with Odin, but USB Device Not Recognized, i installed driver, help me

follow the instructions on my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568853
if you have installed the driver correctly using rear usb ports if on a pc and set your phone to download mode correctly there is no reason why odin will not display com then a number in a coloured box under com:id which shows odin is connected and you have android adb device displayed in device manager

thanks your help but it not work
thanks your help but it not work, :crying: i tried kies, it also not work

you can not use kies to flash or restore firmware on galaxy y - it is not supported and kies is just not needed
if you have installed the usb drivers from the link in my thread (in compatibility mode if on windows 8/8.1) - are using a working usb cable rear usb ports on pc and correct split firmware from my thread it will work
unless you have a faulty usb port/cable it will be due to user error

Are you boot into download mode already? If not , odin will not recognize your phone anyway

install samsung usb driver first n then connect your phone with download mode by usb
Note:make sure that usb driver is install properly before connect ur phone

Try to use your cable connected from your pc and your phone again. If the same problem happened, try to connect your phone using that cable to another pc. BUT if that phone is not recognized, I think the problem is in the cable. Try to buy another one, and if same thing happened, the problem is in the usb port of your phone.

[Q] USB device not recognized

I've flashed my i9505 many times. I can't remember exactly what I've done, but now the situation is very weird.
1. I can go into Download mode. But Odin doesn't recognise it. Kies doesn't recognise it either. The error message on the bottom right corner of the screen says "USB device not recognized. Your usb device has malfunctioned." I've tried re-install the USB driver, use the original USB cable, even tried it on another PC with no luck. I suspect the very low level USB driver in the phone has corrupted because possibly I flash something wrong in the past.
2. I can go into Recovery mode and flash new ROMs in zip format from there.
3. I can use my phone normally, e.g. make phone call, SMS, WiFi......My computer can recognize my phone as usual when I am in Android.
Any thoughts? Helps are appreciated.

Hello,
Uninstall any previous installed of Samsung USB drivers, clean your Windows registry through CCleaner (not needed but highly suggested) then download and install latest Samsung USB drivers
Now download mode will be recognized on PC
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505

There is an easier way. If you are using windows, go into control panel-> Devices-> Right Click on your phone-> there should be a Driver Details-> Go details I think it is-> Uninstall driver-> Have the box ticked-> Uninstall-> Unplug then replug the cable in and it should work.

I've tried to re-install the driver. I even tried to connect the phone to another PC where the driver had never been installed before. Nope.... it doesn't work. Actually, I've searched around in Google for long time. The most likely reason is the usb piece of Android code is corrupted. Well, maybe not android, it should be the lower layer of Linux. I previously installed dual boot system follow this link and I screw it up when I tried to upgrade the primary OS:

You said that in Android USB connection works.
The download mode depends on bootloader, that can't be touched in any way by Android, even you can't touch the bootloader.
It's also write-protected, you can only upgrade it through Odin or through an official OTA update, when flashed you can't downgrade and can't write on its partition if not through JTAG
