Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions to ask all of you great phone gurus
**If this is the wrong forum for this sort of thread, I apologize in advance**
Basically I have ruined the USB connection on my Touch Cruise. I am wanting to know if there is any way I can access my files on the phone by having it connected to my wireless network at home (ie a program or something I can run on my PC.) Reason I ask is I am trying to edit the HTC weather Plugin to show my location (Lebanon, OH, USA) and it is quite hard/impossible to do using the phone alone.
Second question is, is it possible to replace a damaged USB connector? I know it is probably ruined but I figure it might be worth a try. I had attempted to hook up my front USB header on my motherboard, but plugged them in backwards. I managed to salvage the phone by removing the actual USB piece from the phone and pulling the wires out. Luckily I am still able to use the phone (nothing else besides the USB connector is messed up) by purchasing an external battery charger + battery.
I know these are probably both a shot in the dark but any help anyone could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.
You can sync via bluetooth if you have it on your computer, or wifi search in google for that (ex: http://wifi.aximsite.com/sync.html)
I tought replace it will be very hard .
just out of curiosity could you please give us some screenshots as i'm having a real hard time understanding what you did and how it looks now? ^^
using bluetooth will help and maybe a card reader + microSD might speed things up. find a good file manager for WinMO
i doubt that there is any way to acces phones files through wireles so bluetooth is the only wireless (and supported) way
I don't have a camera currently but just look at your USB connection on your phone then imagine that there is absolutely nothing in it. It is just an empty 'rectangle'. No wires or the little horizontal piece that normally sits in there. Just an empty 'rectangle.'
Thanks for the replies. I am trying the wireless sync now.
Thanks a bunch
Hello,
anybody else got a problem with TV OUT ?
I cannot make it work. And when entering the Service/Test Mode, it won't work there either! Its setting is OFF.
In comManager its all greyed out, no matter if connected with a cable to a tv or not.
There is a reg setting about it and when I enable it there, it shows enabled, but it actually is NOT.
So I am wondering if this is perhaps MY hardware or if there is any 'secret' to it, to make it work.
Thanks!
Everybody's elses TV OUT working fine???
Hey what is this, no replies at all. Should I believe EVERYBODIES TV OUT is working fine?
Or nobody using that at all? I want to know if with all you out there, the TVout in connection manager is greyed out or not (with or without a plug).
Even in service/test mode my setting is OFF and cannot be changed.
Need to know if this is just mine and the hardware is perhaps broken. Thanks!
Mine works.
(I used it very rarely but it's good to know it there)
MS Direct Push not working either?!?!
Good to know at least somebody's works! If you go to connection manager, the TV screen is greyed out on mine, on yours its yellow?
And what about the square where you put the ckeckmark, its greyed on mine, on yours not?
Now, what is your software version?
Thanks

When the cable is not connected, the TV out checkbox in Connection Manager is greyed out. The moment I connect the cable to both phone and TV, a menu pops up and shows a picture and two aspect ratio options to choose from.
Are you sure it's not the cable or the input on the TV faulty? I mean it is clear for me the TV out option is available only after a connection between phone and a valid input of a working TV has been established. Dunno, try other tv sets?
My phone software is plain 6.5.3 generic UK. only mods are sd card fix and overclocking, so very little to do with the matter we are discussing.
Yeah, I tried different TVs. But since it won't even work in TestMenu, I figure it my hardware now.
You see, in testmenu, one does not even need to connect a TV because it will be displayed on the lcd. And no cable needed either.
What is your manufacture date? Its inside battery compartment on white sticker, like 09Wxx or 10Wxx.
Mine says 09W48

Hello,
My MK888 box worked smoothly only for two days. On third day I noticed that device is turned off. It can't boot up now. The PowerLED lights up for 5 seconds and it goes off. The video of this process You can see here: http://www.mediafire.com/watch/gcg1a43k9qceoem/CAM00200_compressed.mp4
Connecting OTG cable causes permanent glow PowerLED, until disconnected. I checked dmesg and it doesn't change when I connect device with OTG cable. Windows doesn't see it either. Connecting it with Recovery button pressed down doesn't help. It has stock rom without any modififcations. Only XBMC installed and some other apps.
Does anyone has any idea how to fix this?
I bought it here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/TV-B...3188-2GB-RAM-8GB-ROM-CS918-AV/1392309954.html
The seller gave me link to some new firmware and no other info. Only "please download the firmware and install in your computer, and then connect the tv box to the computer, it will flash automatically ".

Sounds like a hardware fault in all honesty.
Mine turns itself off immediately sometimes but not on a consistent basis.
I would tell the seller of the issues about it not detecting, I'd make sure your drivers are up to date though.
The drivers are not an issue as the dmesg (linux tool) shows nothing, like no device is connected. It should show something. I thought that there is some hack for this or possibility to connect with JTAG or something. I will send it back to the seller.

HELLO,
i have exactly the SAME problem as you described with my tv box (i think it is T-R42 because it has bluetooth)
Also i have the stock rom , and also i bought the tv box from an aliexpress seller
Normally i keep it in operation (was about a week i didn't turn off it)
yesterday morning i found it powered off,
and when i try to power on it pressing the button,
the button light stays on for a few seconds, then it (and the device) turns off
Yesterday night i connected the tv box to my pc via otg cable.
When connected to the pc via otg, the light stays on.
Connecting the usb cable to the pc, and pushing the reset button under the tv box, my pc detects rk31sdk device, then asks to install drivers for it
Choosing automatic search of drivers, my pc find drivers for 'MDB device' and istall them... and the process ends correctly
But after a few seconds, windows finds another time the 'new hardware', and asks to install drivers... and so on
(I dont know if in this phase i did some wrong action, this evening i will try to find and install the right drivers...)
Then i downloaded the software for my tv box, including the Rockchip updater (RKAndroidTool.exe) and latest custom rom from wasser (forum freaktab.com) :
http://www.freak-tab.de/wasser/firmware-wasser-1.2.4.zip
Then i lauched the RKAndroidTool:
the first time it didn't find the device, so i tried to disconnect the tv box, reconnect it and press the reset button under the tv box
In that way, the RKAndroidTool detected the device.
I Clicked Erase IDB, and seems it worked find, endings OK
Then i selected all the software : Loader, Parameter, Misc, Kernel, Boot, Recovery, System and clicked 'RUN'
The process started, i saw:
Testing device: OK
Flashing Ram... OK
So i was happy, i thought i solved my problem...
instead i solved nothing, the device still had the same behaviour as before (the same as you described)
So i repeated the process, selecting only one update at a time, (only the Boot , only the Recovery, only the System etc)
The process seems always to work ok, because it ends with OK
But the tv box didn't change behaviour, the same problem remain
I noticed that sometimes during the update process the message 'Found RKAndroid Loader Rock USB' changed to 'NOT FOUND',
so i had to retry pushing the reset button to make it be found
I dont know how RKTool works, i have the suspect that messages tells OK also if it do nothing ...
this evening i will retry, installing the right drivers...
You are a lucky guy. Mine wasn't even detected by my PC. After maaany approaches of powerON+RecoveryButton dmesg showed the new device only once with following issue: "BOS descriptor failed.". The seller told me to send it back for replace, but they will cover only one posting cost. It cost me extra $16

Hello,
i have still to test it,
but perhaps i got the solution for the problem:
a user from freaktab forum suggested me that the problem should be the power adapter:
he suggested me to buy a power adapter 5V , with 2A output minimum
I dont have such power adapter, if you have it, and you have not sent yet the tv box to the supplier, please check this solution and let me know!
Thanks
I saw this solution somewhere in the internet, but unfortunately I checked it with 2.5A adapter...it didn't help. I tested the standard adapter with multimeter and everything appeared to be fine. I already sent my device to the seller. I hope he will replace it.

i found this thread on freaktab
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....few-seconds-then-shuts-down-Bad-power-adapter
i will check if this solution will work with my tv box
In the case it doesn't work i think i will have also to send the tv box to the aliexpress seller...
but i dont know how to do it, and how much i have to pay
did you choose DHL shipment, or which other carrier?
I bought my t-r42 on october, now are passed 4 months... i dont know if i still can ask to the seller to replace it...
any suggestion?
Thanks!
I asked him through aliexpress:
Sign In -> My orders -> CHOOSE_YOUR_ORDER -> View Detail
at the bottom of this page I have some sort of chat feature.
DHL is out of the question! They take 20-40$. I sent it with Polish Post.

Ok thank you,
if the power adapter solution doesn't work i will try to contact the seller
To be honest, i am not very satisfied of this tv box, it didn't work very well
for example i used skype (connecting it to a logitech c270 webcam), and it didnt work well... very often skype crashed, and camera app also had problems...
Perhaps i will ask to the seller if i can buy another model and can get some discount returning my tv box to him...
quad core android tv box Q7
I trie to make update the fimware after 1minute re line and write fails,
i try again an the recovery an the device is not work..
help me please.
Same problem
Did anyone could fix this? I have the same problem, any firmware, even the supposed stock one, fix the problem, the device doesn't boot.
I don't know what happens, it can update the firmware every time I want....
RKbatchtool is better than RKAndroidtool.
connect the box to the PC via OTG but do not connect the power. hold the recovery button and then connect the power cable.
if this still fails then try Maskmode. bit more complex and i would recommend a good read over at freaktab.com first. have to open the box up and short the 8th and 9th Pin on the NAND chip.
similar to this http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?1943-NEW-Unbrick-or-fix-NAND-on-the-MK808
and those with a Q7 box. dont use Wassers rom. it will load but bluetooth, wifi and ethernet wont work on it
Freaktab has roms for the q7
I had the same problem, I even brought device to my friend who work in repair shop and he don`t find any technical damage. Then one evening i was watching movie and all the time trying to connect it to pc and reset, and etc. then suddenly blue light start glowing and since then it is working very well, but my pc still dont recognize it

CS918S Start up problem
I had same start up problem with my new CS918S TV Box.
contacted Seller and she gave me link to some new firmware and no other info. Only "please download the firmware and install in your computer, and then connect the tv box to the computer, it will flash automatically ".
I downloaded all the upgrade software as mentioned but still not working.
I went to my friend's home who is also using the same TV Box. Tested my TV Box with my friend's HDMI Cable, Power Adapter one by one. Finally, finding out when using my Power Adapter for the 2 TV Boxes they had the same startup problem. But using my friend's power adapter, both are working . Communicated with seller shop: China SmartView Digital Co. Ltd. Aliexpress Store no: 808900. She asked me to mail back to the manufacture direct but she doesn't be responsible for any cost.
I order a new power adapter cable from other supplier at my own cost.
Hi Guys,
As said above, my PC won't detect my DZ09 even if I've installed all the drivers I've found on the net. And yes my watch was off when connected to my PC.
I'm doing something wrong?
I want to do a backup of my firmware.
I need your help. Thank you in advance.
No one had the same problem?
I'm really eager to change the clockface, but I'm unable to make my PC connect to my watch.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Problem solved. I've always used the cable that came with the watch. Big mistake, just use your phone cable and it will work.
PS: Moderators, you can delete this post if it is useless.
I had a similar problem, Wanted to put files (Music) onto my smart watch yet the computer didn't detect the watch.
I overcame the problem by simply removing the memory card and putting it in a card reader ($4.00 NZ) from most electronic shops (I got mine at a discount 1,2,3 dollar shop!). I then put the memory card back into the watch. just watch the format as some of the songs I had to delete as the watch didn't recognise them.
when i leave my watch for charging it start charging but after some time it displays charging error what to do??
I am desperately seeking help......
I have just fitted a brand new Android 11 based head unit to my wife's car and I am having one issue in particular that is creating a lot of angst. My wife is not tech savvy and would simply like to jump in her car, start it up and have everything work inlcuding playing her favorite radio apps. I can have this work for her perfectly via Bluetooth Tethering when a toggle under ANDROID SETTINGS - CONNECTED DEVICES - PHONE - INTERNET ACCESS is switched on. However, this toggle reverts to off everytime the car is switched off and needs to be manually switched on eveyrtime to restore functionality. The unit supports wired Android Auto, but even then my wife does not want to pull the phone out of her bag everytime and plug/unplug. Is there any way the unit can remember the last setting or have it default to on? I have tried Macdroid app, but it does not offer this specific action. I have attached an image of the setting in question along with the specs of the head unit. Wifes phone is a Samsung Galaxy A52 runing Android 11. Help me save my marriage!

Hi, if unit has SD cards and USB drives in multimedia ports remove them first, then tweek settings again and then save settings (device will write in internal device memory) by shutting down device (remove key / shut down engine).
Repeat procedure if first time is not saved in internal memory (without SD cards or USB in ports).
After bootup again it will eventually write in internal memory and save settings.

Thanks for your reply, however there are no SD cards or USB drives. There does not also appear to be an option to 'save" settings.
It "saves" by it self when you turn device off (or remove key from contact). As for USB or cards, ok, you probably have master setings/factory settings in there that is entered with a pin code, do you know how to enter it ?
(thru infotainment)
We will go one step at a time.

Thanks very much for your reply! When I toggle the switch to on, it does not retain that setting when I turn car off and remove the key. I do have the passcode to get into the factory settings of the HU, but I have had a good look and cannot identify any setting which relates to my issue, that's not to say it doesnt exist.
Take a picture of your device factory settings please, or maybe it's better to record a small video.

Is this what you were after? Apologies if I misread your message.
Yes, let me see where can we find memory issues
Most likely it is in APP SETTINGS menu.
Play with settings untill you find correct setting, it will not harm device in any way, but prior to changing anything take a photo of each settings menu to avoid unpleasent changes that lead to app and config problems.
