Bricked? Wave I (8500) - Bada Software and Hacking General

Seems like my sister got her Wave bricked. Actually, she didnt do anything with it. Its just that the handset is stuck in a boot-loop. So my plan was to reflash FW. I can enter download mode. But when i connect it to a computer, it only gives the error message that the usb device has malfunctioned. I already tried my desktop and my laptop. Anything else I might want to try? Kinda lost here

Try to install Kies for the drivers.
Download any firmware you want and flash it.

Well, i have Kies already installed together with newest USB drivers. Still, it says that the USB device is not recognized because it has malfunctioned or so ...

bricked s8500, please help me.

Hello, I have bricked my S8500. I can go to the download menu. The problem is that I can't install properly USB drivers , or maybe it is USB cable that is wrong, the USB cable is from nokia and model is : CA101. Even when the phone was working ok computer couldn't see my wave , and I don't know why... So the problem is that when I go to the Download menu my computer detects all the drivers and everything is alright... And when I hit download I get this.
Download Start Ch[0]
BootLoader 1703.9KB OK[0.7s]
Dbl 281.5KB OK[0.8s]
Wait reset !!
Serial port detect error!
And after Wait reset my computer just didn't recognize my phone anymore, and that's why it has been bricked at the begining. Could anyone please help me? I tried different USB drivers, different PC. Nothing helps :{{{ Please guys, help me.
Maybe it is because my USB cable isn't from original wave, or no?

I too use Nokia table to flash my samsung wave. If your phone was able to connect to Kies prior to flashing there should be no issues.
When you flash for 1st time you always get that error. Pls try once again and you shd not face any issues.

No, I wasn't able to connect to kies. I got a USB cable from original xperia x10, still same issue... Can someone tell me what to do? I downloaded a lot of drivers, but maybe there is some special driver? :/
The problem usually goes away for me when flashing from a freshly booted pc, so try restarting one of your computers for flashing and try again.
Have done that too... Any advice? :/
Hello!
First kill all Kies Processes (in the Task Manager)
Second launch Multiloader and try to flash
When it says Serial Error, just do Port Search again, and it should work
That's what I did when I had my Serial Port error ^^
Hope I helped you

You didn't understand me very well. The problem is that when I hit download my computer suddenly loses USB connection and shows my phone as unknown device, that is the problem why I bricked my phone. Do anyone knows how to make my pc see my samsung wave?

Same thing happened to me. After this, you shouldn't disconnect you wave, but to wait, and click search port again. If there is no port again, tru with different multiloader (mine was v5.65), and there is again same problem, try with another computer with preinstalled USB drivers.
The good thing is that your phone still enters boot mode. If it wasn't the case, then it would be a total brick.

No, you didn't understand this flashing process. Most important thing here is to avoid interrupting of connection between computer and phone, even in serial port error. You need to search port again, or to change things that I mentioned above.
You hit download, then bootloader is loaded. It is absolutely normal in this algorithym to reset phone (wait reset). Then our error appears in port error. That is the time when you should click port search again, and when it finds it again (it will) click download button. Thats how it was in my case already 4 times.. Hope I helped.
Best regards
I have told that I reinstalled a lot of drivers and tried different PC's, nothing helps. I tried about 3 or 4 versions of multiloader still same result :/ I don't know what to do anymore... Please any advices? Maybe someone had the same issue?
I don't really know what happened. We switched our cables with my friend again, and I tried to flash with Nokia cable. And everything went okay for the 1 time. No errors, no nothing, no Unknown USB device problem. This is really strange. Thank you for you help friends :}

Help!! USB connection not recognized...

I connected my SG2 via USB cable to my PC and started seeing this error
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
I have tried everything from changing cables/PCs/enabling/disabling USB debugging to *#7284#, and none of them work ...
Is the device bricked, is there any hope of revival..please help i got this phone myself paying $400
Does your phone turn on and work and a connection to PC the only problem? If so your not bricked...you prolly need to install the drivers in order for your PC to recognize it so install kies on your PC
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Yes phone turns on, charges through the port...just that it is not recognized by the PC....what could be wrong?
As I said previously you probably need to add the drivers on your PC install kies on your PC
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Make sure you use one of your rear usb ports also. I had an issue with drivers installing in a front usb port.
Phew it turns out to be the samsung driver..I believe kies update must have corrupted and stopped the pc from recognizing the phone....

The definition of "bricked" is having a really expensive
... brick. It means your phone doesn't turn on no matter what you do to it (short of a JIG and that's not guaranteed) the "USB device not recognized thing" is a problem w many windows devices my vista computer does it all the time and I just switch ports.

Having same/similar issue
Hey, was there every a solution found for this?
I'm having basically the same problem...using the cable that came with my phone, and have installed Kies (fresh). I have tried toggling multiple settings. I tried uninstalling kies and reinstalling. I tried using pdanet for the driver. I have tried a few different roms, as well: Darkside 2.4, 2.5.1, and gingersnap 1.21. All have had the same result.
When I plug the phone in, it beeps (charging) but no notification for usb settings (disk drive, sync, etc). On my computer, it pops up "USB Device Not Recognized" and says the device has malfunctioned, etc, same as OP.
In Device Manager, it shows under USB as "Unknown Device".
I have tried this with two Windows 7 laptops, and a Windows Server 2008 R2 desktop. Also tried with a different cable. This cable was able to transfer data from an external hard drive today, so I doubt anything is wrong with it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Well I had the same problem with a new sgs2 i got witb the warranty. I even made a post about it. Tried everything and nothing fixed it. Had to do another warranty exchange
Sent from Flip's SGS2
Did you try the drivers separate first or Mtp mode
Sent from my revolutionized Samsung infuse
I tried without the drivers, and went to wireless and network > USB utilities. The only option in there, however, is "Connect storage to PC". If I try that, then plug it in, the phone acts like I hit the back/undo button. It doesn't show that anything is connected, nor does it give any other options. At this point on the computer, I get the "USB device not recognized" error.
This happened before installing Kies/Drivers, and still happens after installing drivers and kies.
try another usb cable
i had the exact same error, and it ended up being a good USB cable that went south
I will try a different cable when I get home - Have a month old cable for a mytouch 4g that I know works.
Okay, I tried it with the other cable, on a desktop in the rear port. same thing...Phone start to charge, and I get the error that the device malfunctioned, yada yada.
Any other ideas? Should I try to connect in Download mode?
Alrighty, so in the end, I ended up completely unroting, using terminal emulator to remove superuser.apk, busybox, and su and putting right back to read only. Then in CWM, flashed a stock 2.3.5 ROM (Zedomax). However, I now have the 2.3.5 ROM and the 2.3.6 KL1 Kernel...
I'm planning to return to Tmobile/Samsung - will the kernel and rom versions not matching be a huge red flag??
Any help is appreciated. I have tried to flash the 2.3.5 kernel, but I always get an error that it's not signed/verified.
Ideas?
I was hoping to grab the 2.3.6 OTA update, but it says there is no firmware update. Is there an update file I can put on the SD card and update using the stock recovery?
UPDATE:
I called T-Mobile Customer Service today, and went through the "troubleshooting" with them again. They ended up sending me a new one, overnight. They didn't ask anything about doing anything custom with it like rooting or other modifications.
I'm not sure if it made a difference, but I'm within 90 days, and also have the "best" insurance/warranty coverage through T-Mobile, and whoever their insurance provider is that I signed up for when I bought the phone.
Final charge is for $5, which I was told is some kind of fee from Samsung, but will appear on my bill.
Anyway, not too bad. Can't wait to get rid of touchwiz again when I get the new phone!

FYI, I just went through the same thing. Decided to finally root my phone after owning it for 2 weeks.
Phone nor the phone would recognize USB data, but would charge. Tried another cable and no luck.
Rebooted the phone. Works like a charm now.

USB not work

Huhu,
i have issue with my usb connection.
If i connect it to the laptop it say Unknow Device (error code 43). Then it only charge.
I looking up the internet for 2 days now.
Someone said Unknow device is always a driver problem.
Found some driver called samsung/sgs2 driver. But that wasnt working.
Debugging modus also not help me.
Maybe someone have an other idea?
Try this
1. Turn off phone while still plugged in to your computer
2. Press Volume Button Up and then Power button to turn it on in bootloader/or recoverymode
3. You should hear a typical usb connecting sound. (if not you can unplug and plug the usb until you hear it)
4. Unplug it to hear the usb disconnecting sound.
4. Restart your phone and then allow it to turn on as usual, allow it to load everything before.. doing #5
5. Try plugging it in and test.
i tested it but not get a sound.
bootloader say waiting for usb ;/
Uninstall any previous drivers you installed and install these. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
They worked for me.
These are the drivers i already tried.
But they not work for me ;/
If you're laptop is Windows:
-install Samsung Kies....after that, plug your Glide, there should be a prompt "Installing device drivers" and/or "Searching Windows update..." Wait for that to be done and you should be able to connect.
Same thing with MAC,
I tried that befor but not work ;(
Does i have a chance to flash the phone without usb?
can i install CWM withouth odin?

[Q] Galaxy Ace II cannot be detected by PC (XP/W7/W8)

Hello, I'm the new guy, kind of (I'm new to this forum but somewhat a technological handyman, so to speak).
I had recently obtained a Samsung Galaxy Ace II, everything was going good on the phone, hell, it's what? Two years old now? Anyway, I noticed the immense trouble I've been having trying to get several Windows PCs/laptops to detect anything from the phone, no driver updates, installations, not even from the trustworthy SAMSUNG Kies application. It is becoming a real problem as I really want to keep this phone, root it, installing several ROMs as I go along, but no, the computers won't even allow me to access the contents of my SD card through USB.
(Note: I have manually downloaded and installed SAMSUNG USB drivers and pooft, still nothing!)
I have tried quite a few methods to allow the PCs to establish a connection with the phone e.g. Dialing "*#7284#*, accessing "PhoneUtil", choosing "PDA" as the good mode, even switching to "MODEM" then back to "PDA"; Uninstalling/Reinstalling drivers; Attempting Kies.
I guess I am on the look out for a new-ish phone to replace this, which saddens me as I love being able to root, install various ROMs, Kernels etc, personally I like this phone too, more than my Spica running ICS (couldn't be too hard though, it wasn't stable whatsoever).
If anyone on this board could find a solution to this problem for me, I would be ever so grateful, I don't doubt it though, I love the work of XDA. Thank you.
Turn off the phone with no cable attached, press volume down, home and power at the same time and then volume up to put it in ODIN mode and connect it to the PC (use windows vista or newer so it auto installs the driver) It should install something like Samsung USB serial device. Tell if it works
Do I have to load it into ODIN mode whilst Odin is running on my PC?

For this test you dont need ODIN on the PC. Its only to see if the PC recognizes the phone

I just tested this and it appears not to be working, whatsoever. Is it necessary to have all SAMSUNG USB drivers installed on the PC?
Thank you for the idea, though. I just really want to root/mod my phone, ugh.

Windows should auto install the drivers. Connect the phone to the PC and see in device manager if there is something like an unknoen device or Samsung USB device

Thank you for the help, although my problem is not dealt with still. I have completed the steps that you had suggested, thoroughly and repeatedly, yet there is no hope for a permanent, or even temporary fix for my mobile.
Windows isn't displaying any correlation between my PC and phone, no driver software auto-installs and no sign of the device being located in the Device Manager, not even under an "Unknown device".
Is this a problem for most Ace II devices? Or am I missing something that is too obvious to consider so seriously?
Porobu once told me something like:
1. Uninstall kies and sammy usb drivers
2. Install kies again, it should promt to install USB drivers.
3. Plug in phone to pc in DL mode.
I'm not sure what you mean in your 1st post so im assuming you have yet to try this. Works for me
When do I plug the USB into the phone and boot my phone into download mode? As soon as the drivers are installed via Kies?

After kies installation complete(dont have to open), boot phone to download mode, connect to cable and plug to pc
It sounds like a broken microusb port but try something first.
Download ubuntu or any other live cd linux distro
Boot it on your pc. You dont need to install anything.
Open a terminal
*Plug the phone while it is turned on to the PC
Write in the terminal 'lsusb' without the quotes and press enter
Something like Samsung android device or MTP device should appear.
If it doesnt appear power off the phone and go to odin mode and repeat from the * the steps

[Q] USB stopped working after failed odin flash

Hi, I recently tried using a stock image with odin for my galaxy tab pro 8.4. Odin started flashing but failed when sending system.img.
I tried this process twice and got the same result even using a different USB port in may computer and a different cable but, after the second try (and as the first one I disconnected the computer and restarted into download mode), the tablet usb stopped working.
When I connected it in my first two tries, I got the typical windows sound when you connect anything in the usb, now I dont get anything and not even in the device manager. I tried with another computer and got the same problem, no usb connected sound and nothing in device manager.
My device is now stuck in odin mode. If I try to reboot normally I get into download mode but with the message "Firmware upgrade encounterd an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I have tried deleteing de drivers and installing kies but still nothing.
Can you help me please?
Nevermind

For anyone facing this, you have to wait for the tablet to run out of battery and then connect it again to the computer. It will be detected as before.
