Problems Backing up the NVRAM Partition - Planet Gemini PDA Questions & Answers

***NVRAM backup solved with updated VCOM drivers, but Linux still won't boot***
I want to dual boot my Gemini with Android and Linux and I followed the instructions on the Planet Computer support webpage which recommends that you back up your NVRAM before trying to install the Linux partition.
I'm not happy to try to install another partition without backing up my NVRAM, so I spent most of Saturday and Sunday trying to get this to work without success. On every occasion, the Smart Phone Flash Tool stops responding, the Gemini will only boot if I disconnect the USB cable, and eventually I get this error message on my PC:
ERROR :
STATUS_READ_DATA_EXCEPTION
(0xC0050007)
[HINT]:
Has anyone succeeded in backing up the NVRAM on their Geminis, please???

Yes I did succeeded but first I have had to load the scatter file (from Android firmware zip) a then I have to update VCOMM preloader drivers (using windows 10 device manager)
Sent from my Gemini 4G using Tapatalk

OP has had succes backing up his NVRAM partition after installing updated Windows 10 64-bit drivers, as supplied by Planet Computers.
I would therefore recommend anyone having issues backing up partitions to make sure they have installed the latest drivers.

Finally!!! The updated drivers have "allowed" me to backup the NVRAM successfully...and Android 1.1 is available to download.
The link says Android firmware v1.0, but the downloaded file is Gemini Android v1.1. However, looking at the screenshots, I can't see any difference, except in the Android boot sequence one is offered "Configure physical keyboard"?
I then followed the instructions to install Linux as a dual boot, but when I reboot (pressing Press Esc (On) and the side button at the same time until the screen turns ON to boot into Linux) displays a Linux splash screen but then the Gemini boots into Android

keep the side button held down until it boots to the screen that shows the planets keep it held down and the screen will go black then you can let go of the side button and it will boot up in Linux

restoring Continuum to stock DL17

DOWNGRADE BEFORE I COULD UPGRADE
I had to jump through a lot of hoops to help a friend upgrade their Samsung Continuum (on Verizon) to the new Froyo 2.2.2 (EC09). I had previously rooted the phone, which was still on DL17, and that was now crashing the official upgrade. So I thought I'd document what finally worked, for anyone else who's struggling with the same. Not guaranteeing my procedure will work, of course.
Mostly, I've summarized and rewritten the other instructions I found buried in and amongst the other discussion threads. After successfully restoring 'stock' the official Froyo upgrade finally worked.
PRE-REQUISITES
- locate the thread, [DEV] Continuum DataBase [EC09][DL17][EC03][EC07]
- download the following files:
Samsung i400 USB driver
"DL17 Factory stock rom+radio+kernel (odex) all in one odin flash"
(the resulting unzipped file is 'Continuum-Stock-DL17.tar.md5')
ODIN flash-tool
- download the updated "EC07" PIT file (the "DL17" PIT didn't work for me!)
Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT.PIT
PROCEDURE
Install the Samsung i400 USB drivers
Remove battery from phone (not sure if this is necessary but some threads advised it, and after several failed attempts I was desperately trying everything. In any case, it didn't interfere with a successful imaging!)
Connect the phone on USB
Hold VOL-DOWN plus PWR buttons until the built-in 'Flashing' screen appears (should be immediate)
Confirm that the computer detected the phone over USB
If not, re-run the Samsung USB Driver install and select 'Repair')
run ODIN
Confirm that there is a yellow 'COM' status showing in the top-left.
If not, ODIN isn't connected to the phone!
Click on 'PIT' button and select the 'Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT.PIT'
UNCHECK the checkbox option for 'Re-partition'
Click on 'PDA' button and select the 'Continuum-Stock-DL17.tar.md5' file
Click START
You should see a steady stream of status updates in the bottom-left window as well as a progress bar in the top-left (labeled "factoryfs")
The update should take about 10 minutes, then the phone will reboot. The reboot takes about 2 minutes and there is nothing shown on the phone!
NOTES
I originally tried using the (DL17) 'SCH-i4000-VZW-Continuum.pit' but it didn't work.
I also tried it both with and without the re-partition option; neither worked
At one point the phone stopped being recognized on USB. I simply re-ran the Samsung USB Driver install and selected 'Repair'. Then the phone was recognized again.

Samsung S3 (tmo) soft bricked, encrypted, USB debugging off

Hi,
Summary: Was running Cyanogenmod 10.2.0 and tried to update to 10.2.1. Phone won't boot. Using CWM recovery 6.0.4.3. Factory Reset reports that it can't mount / clear /data (due to encryption?). Can get phone into CWM recovery and Download mode. Haven't been able to successfully connect to PC (ADB or Odin) even though I have samsung drivers.
I do have an unencrypted SD card in the phone so my normal way of flashing is to connect SD card to PC, download, then in CWM recovery to install ZIP from SD card.
Looking to get into any good state - Cyanogenmod 10.2.1, or 10.2.0, or heck go back to stock.
**** I think the answer might be use ODIN and flash back to stock, I see some guides but haven't been able to get ODIN to "see" my phone *****
Details
I had downloaded Cyanogenmod update to phone using "About this phone" menu and when I tried to "Install it" from that window the machine booted into recovery, immediately failed, and rebooted. The phone is encrypted (work requires this) and I discovered Cyanogenmod saves the download to encrypted phone storage and CWM recovery doesn't support encryption.
Downloaded 10.2.1 to my SD card and flashed it. (no back-up, no wiping of cache). Installed successfully, reboot asked me for my encryption password, Android optimized apps, rebooted, encryption password, then blue spinner spins forever.
From here I started my troubleshooting:
- I flashed back to 10.2.0 then flashed Gapps again, no change.
- Reading about boot.img I installed ADB and SDK Manager and tried connecting and flashing boot.img. ADB devices shows up empty. I have installed Samsung drivers.
- Researching going back to Stock points me to installed Triangle to reset my custom ROM count - but I can't boot.
Thanks in advance.

[Solved] This is for anyone who happens to read this wondering if their phone is screwed. Relax! If you can get into Download mode and Odin can see your phone, you'll be o.k.
Turns out the machine and cable you use do matter. I tried for days connecting using my MAC running Windows 7 Virtual Machine. Once I switched to my Win7 laptop and used the original Samsung cable things starting working out more smoothly.
Steps:
1) Get Odin (mine was 3.09) and run as admin. If you see an error in Korean it's because you have to unzip the entire Odin folder.
2) Get stock firmware for t-mobile. There's only 1 firmware file, I didn't need a PIT nor a specific recovery step. The t-mobile firmware includes everything I needed. Flashing failed in Odin saying Complete Write failure. This had me stumped for hours and hours. When I switched to stock cable and Win7 laptop it succeeded. I never had to check Nand erase all or repartitian (almost did in desparation though). Flash took about 10 minutes but eventually PASSED.
3) However, when it rebooted it asked for encryption key and my old one didn't work. Turns out their are more steps. This scared me.
4) Reboot into recovery (up, home, power) which gave a bunch of scary error messages. Actually those listed at the bottom in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030.
5) Factory Reset then Wipe Cache
6) Reboot
Now I'm back at stock and breathing a sigh of relief. Unclear if I'll ROM back to Cyanogenmod.
I spent hours and hours reading discussions and going down one dead end after another. I'd say it was like looking for a needle in a haystack but it was the complete opposite. It was like looking for a specific needle in a sea of needles. Every search query yielding tantilizing results and a plethora of step by step guides that ultimately didn't work. A very frustrating experience all around. Good luck to anyone who reads this.
Hi Matt
Similar thing happened to me last night. I am/was using Omni-Nightly build. I plugged it in to the charger before bed, and it rebooted, saying upon reboot - "Encryption Failed" and saying the only way to recover would be to wipe the machine and start again, it then rebooted and all I get is the Samsung boot screen.
Tried rebooting, wiping, everything, Odin, Android Toolkit, nothing works. It shows up on my Linux PCs but not accessible, but not windows at all.

LG G3 in download mode not detected by Windows

Dear xda-developers-community,
I'm trying to get a phone of a friend of mine working which just reboots whenever the phone is started. The resulting boot loop can only be interrupted by taking the battery out or wait until it is depleeted.
In order to fix this soft-brick I first tried to use recovery by pressing VOL - & POWER. In the menu, I could select and confirm to recover to factory settings, but after some seconds the boot loop appeared again with (seemingly?) no change having been made. The error kept appeaing over and over again.
After trying recovery mode, I attempted to start the phone in download mode by pressing VOL + on the (switched off) phone and connecting a USB cable. The respective menu also opened, here, showing "Firmware Update" and "Do not unplug the USB connection until the process is complete". According to many tutorials I found on the internet, when having installed the required drivers (I used LG United Mobile drivers from here), this procedure should allow you to flash a recovery image through LG's flashing tool (which one can also find on that page).
However, when I connect the LG G3 (D855) to a computer the driver is installed on, there is no new device shown in the Device manager. I tried this out with Windows 10 x64 and Windows 7 x64 and disabled driver validation on both systems and enabled test signing on Windows 10, respectively. Additionally, I followed these instructions, but in this case the screen stays dark and the device is not detected either. It seems like there are not so many people experiencing this error, but I hope we can find a solution.

This may sound like a dumb question, but have you tried a new battery yet? If it is one of the original batteries it could have gone bad & started bootlooping...like mine did a few months ago.
As far as the PC not recognizing the phone you can try downloading USBDeview and uninstall anything that has the vendor ID's of 1004 & 18d1(pretty much anything that says android or LGE in the description) & reboot the PC. Hopefully it'll recognize your device and install the drivers the next time you plug it in. If it doesn't find the drivers automatically for you then install LG drivers manually.

UnBrick Leeco Phones - LeEco variants X720/X727 ​Instructions for X722, X720 and X727​
First, yes there is another thread called Unbrick your Le Pro3, tested and working
Consider this thread to be a version 2.0, a companion to that existing thread, with alternative steps and better overall clarity.
The person who created that original thread is no longer active within the Leeco Pro 3 community and the original file links are mostly dead anyway. In addition, the original Qfil file on that thread OP was corrupted and lead to a lot of frustration via countless sahara errors and other issues.
I have tried to support the many people with bricked phones, and over a long period of time, and I made many of those posts on that original thread. It's way too hard to keep things updated on that thread when I can't even find my own original posts.
There is no question that this thread will help me keep relevant information for saving bricks organized, and will better serve people with bricked devices. and maybe help resolve the clutter issue caused by the weekly " Help I bricked my phone" threads that are created almost weekly.
TLDR: The original tested and working has good information, some really nice images to view along with the instructions. But its outdated, has bad links, and a corrupted Qfil. This is too confusing so here is the updated unbrick thread that this community needs.
Note
Before attempting any of these steps : first try just leaving the phone plugged in for a few hours and wait and see if it comes back to life. It is possible that the cable is bad, your battery stats are off, and the battery is simply on 0% Especially if you have a faint blue light, instead of a red light.
X722 Qfil
This thread was inspired by the new X722 Qfil by @F.L.V For the X722 Elite Owners : these instructions will be helpful for the returning X722 users ready to unbrick their devices with the new F.L.V Qfil
Note If you are new here: the X720/X727 models use a different Qfil than the X722
Modes
* Fastboot: * Press and hold the power button and the volume down (minus) to enter fastboot mode.*
* Recovery:* Press and hold the power button and the volume up (plus) to enter Recovery mode.
* Qualcomm FIL AKA "Emergency Download Mode ( Also called ËDL" Press and hold the power key and the volume up and down key ( at same time!) to enter EDL Note, you have to be in EDL mode to see Port 9008
If you can not get the computer to recognise the phone
Try another usb C cable
Try another usb port
Make sure antivirus is disable
Reinstall android drivers
Reboot the computer
Make sure that your user has admin rights
FLASHALL.bat Method
There are several ways to unbrick, flashall.bat is absolutely the easiest and fastest. Instructions and Rom posted on the post link below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79854585&postcount=90
Qualcomm EDL Mode
Manual Method
You need to press all 3 buttons Volume up and Volume down + the power button simultaneously
Turn*off and press and hold [*Volume button**+**Power button**] for about 10 seconds to enter*fastboot mode

Click the "Flash" button at the bottom of the window.
Once completed, disconnect the phone and power on. To exit the Qualcomm Recovery mode, keep the Power Button pressed for about 1 minute or until the phone will vibrate and restart into system.
After restoring your device with Qfil, the phone memory will display the incorrect amount. The solution is to flash the original stock EUI firmware.
After you have performed all of the steps
* Your Le Pro 3 will have the technicians repair version of EUI.
* The phone may not boot automatically.
* Press and hold the Power Button for 30+ seconds and the phone will vibrate
* Release the power button, it will vibrate again after 10-20 seconds*
* The phone will leave the Qualcomm Repair Mode, and will vibrate continuously for 20 seconds or longer.
* In some cases the phone could take as long as 15 minutes to start. But usually it's faster.
* Immediately you will notice that part of your storage is missing, reformat storage to resolve
Repair Storage
Restore to Default Stock Software for your Device
Option 1: Flash your Zl1 Recovery or My Recovery
Option 2 Flash full stock X720 firmware.
Option 3: Push the latest TWRP Recovery and Root to the phone. > Use SuperSu at this stage, as Magisk will not work yet.
You can use the Leeco Official Rom Downloads
Le Pro 3 : http://bug.letv.com/cn/download/phone/56 ( X720/X727)
Elite : http://bug.letv.com/cn/download/phone/80 ( X722 - Use only with ADB )

Once TWRP is installed,
Format storage and reboot to Recovery
Format.> Type yes. then immediately reboot to recovery > you may see a message that no OS is installed, ignore, check to install TWRP
Reboot to Recovery and place files in Storage via your Desktop or Better Yet: Use an OTG Flash Drive and install from it.
Now you are ready to flash a Compatible Rom, Gapps And Magisk
So that is how you unbrick.
If you would rather have a visual guide the embedded link may be easier for you to follow.
Although the link above is for the Leeco Max 2., the steps are identical!
It's not in English: so use Chrome and enable Google Translate
QPST Alternative Method
Go Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77723528&postcount=2
Remember to only use the files for the your device and the only Qfil that will work for the X720 /X727 is named : Qfil: le_zl1_qfil_ufs_fix
If you have an X722 go to the F.L.V thread linked above for your Qfil file then you can come back here for instructions if needed.
Good luck, be patient, the first time unbricking can be stressful and will sometimes take a while, mostly because you are not familiar with the steps yet. Otherwise it's usually a fast process.
P.S.
Please Do not spam my PM box, these are the only instructions that you need and there is nothing more that I can give you beyond these instructions.
This year I have received possibly hundreds of PM's concerning bricks. ( Not kidding!) Hundreds!
So I can not respond to PM's about bricks, its too much., especially when the majority of these people never read the basic instructions. So any questions or answers concerning unbricking needs to happen here on this thread I apologise, but I will have ignore PM's with questions about de-bricking your device. However, I myself an hopefully others will check this thread often.
Note : If all else fails and you still can't get it and you absolutely need my help: You can mail the phone to me to attempt to debrick it for you for a small nominal fee or it will make a beautiful paperweight.
Hey recently recovered bricked X722 survivors:
Your help is needed here : Please help with supporting people with bricked phones. It will be greatly appreciated, and since most of you guys recovered you phone for free! Why not help out? We should have a lot of experts! [/COLOR][/B]
It Failed : Start Over
Ensure that your antivirus software is turned off it will detect these tools as a malware and delete parts of the file making them useless.
Did I mention that you should turn off antivirus?
To reiterate: trust that nothing bad will happen, you are already bricked, so turn off antivirus or pay someone to unbrick your phone, for you.
Trust that the people who do these type of repairs for a living rarely use antivirus because most "exploits" can often be be removed manually with ease.
Don’t give up so easily if something goes wrong
Simply do a gut check by rethinking and rereading the steps:
Did you follow instructions?
Did you reboot the computer after installing the drivers?
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers then reboot your desktop.
Did you disable Antivirus?
Unless your phone has hardware issues these steps will eventually work.
To reiterate If you device refuses to unbrick
most likely You missed a step!
Its either your cable, your desktop computer, or the device hardware.
Some X727 owners will have success using Qfil and unbricking and still have a black screen > First check that the phone has actually restarted normally, and is not still in EDL repair mode.
If you checked everything and still have this issue, your LCD may likely need to be replaced.
However, there is a couple of other methods which will be added that may resolve this kind of issue.
Go to post #2 and # 3 on this thread for additional ways to unbrick ​
Hypothetical Hardware Damage repair for cheap steps listed at this post.
One Last thing:
I understand that you are upset about your phone, but I DO NOT want to read your whining and ranting about Leeco using bad parts or the rom had poor development. IT'S YOUR FAULT PERIOD. >>> YOU decided to use custom roms.
Next, If I am spending my time to help you : you should really click thanks or I might be likely ignore your plea's There is nothing more annoying than spending 20- 30 minutes on multiple occasions, attempting to help someone that can't even click a thank you button. I am not collecting likes...it's simply a matter of common courtesy.
Yay you are now un-bricked! If you want to courteous and buy me cup of coffee, for making things easy for you, it will be appreciated. Have a nice day.

Alternate Way to Unbrick Using the QPST Method
tldr.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I finally was able to go through with 100% success on flashing the QPST package via Qfil.
My phone is still on black screen with a strong short vibration everytime i try to turn it on. That's the only sign of life. I can't get the display to show anything to me (it was used only for a month and still is brand new and I don't think that screen is suddenly dead).
Phone still boots into 9008 mode and thats pretty much it. Can't try anything as phone doesn't boot normally. Are there any extra pointers to try the revival?
Alternate Way to Unbrick Using the QPST Method
Keep in mind that issues that remain after using Flash 2.0 or QPST could be caused by your Desktop.
Make sure that antivirus and defender is disabled
Try right clicking on the unknown device listing in Device manager and choose update driver.
Afterwards use the All in One tool to update Android drivers, ADB and allow system wide privileges.
Try another computer if you have one nearby.
Make sure that you are in EDL Qualcomm mode :
QPST - Try Flash 2.0 first before attempting to use QPST. Most of the time Flash 2.0 is a fast and easy way to unbrick your device.
QPST Flash Tool: https://androidmtk.com/download-qpst-flash-tool
B]Update android Drivers on PC, and turn on test signing.[/B]
If your phone is not seen in Device manager:
* Go into QFIL mode: Press on vol+ and vol- simultaneously while holding power*
* Alternate way to get into EDL mode ( Press vol+ and vol- while plugging usb into pc. enter in edl mode. ( See OP for using ADB)
* Now you should be able to see the phone as 9008 Port .
* Install QPST.WIN.x.x installer
* Install Qcom Driver*
* Run Qfil main.exe and set the configuration to download configuration.
* Device Type: Set To UFS,
* Other Options Don't Change. *
* Press Ok To Confirm .
* Select Build Type – Flat Build
* Select Programmer *Choose "Prog _Ufs_Firehose_8996_Ddr.Efl"
* Load *Xml- Choose All Ramprogxxxx —Choose All Pathxxx
* Ensure that you are in EDL mode
* Connect The Usb Cable > Qualcomm Hs-Usb Qdloader 9008 "Port Appears at the top Press Download To Flash , If Flash Failure To Stop , You Need Press Three Key To Power Off Your Phone , And Do Up Step Again To Flash , Try again until successful.
If the steps from the OP and within this QPST post fail:
This link may have additional things to try: http://en.miui.com/thread-266598-1-1.html
If none of this works you unfortunately have a hardware based problem.
Once you have restored your phone, you will need to repair your storage space.. You can do repair several ways. I would suggest that you use one of the two options below:
You could flash my recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-...clean-t3727920
It has Magisk and Root, though it would need to be updated. But, it will restore you partitions. > From here you can quickly return to using custom roms.
Another Option is return to full stock with the stock Rom : http://ota.scloud.lfengmobile.com/ot...41S-5.9.02.zip
Note this needs to be flashed via ADB or by using the All In One Tool ; it will remove all data from phone and restore the phone as if it just came out of the box.
Edit :
Another version of Official Stock: http://bug.letv.com/cn/download/phone/56
Once the phone is restored by Qfil to the Technicians Repair copy
Boot into fastboot, You can push TWRP and SuperSU to your device as long as its unlocked
Another option
Download the stock Rom, change its name to "update.zip" then use Leeco's Recovery mode to install the software.
Unlock Bootloader and Flash Roms, Gapps and Magisk
HOW TO INSTALL TWRP
Enable developer options
Allow oem unlock
Power off
Hold Volume down + Power for Fastboot mode
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot boot twrp.img
adb push twrp.img /sdcard/
Choose "Install" and then "Install Image"
Select twrp.img
Select Partition "Recovery"
Confirm Flash
Reboot to recovery
One more method to try : Flash-all.bat
The .bat file It will automatically flash all of the boot images to the phone. Afterwards your device will be fully restored to stock.

Follow instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77723530&postcount=3
After you have restored your phone to full stock : you would need to start from the beginning, to use custom Roms again : I.E, unlock the bootloader etc.

Okay,
While in fastboot, You can push TWRP and SuperSU to your device as long as its unlocked
Another option
Download the stock Rom, change its name to "update.zip" then use Leeco's Recovery mode to install the software.
Edit: I a made an Addendum to the post above, with steps you may find helpful

I appreciate all of your help but I've been searching for the stock ROM for days and can't find it I'm only finding the eui 5.8.28s for the x720 model and I heard that update has lots of bug's with the playstore

I've read everything on the tread but sorry for the stupid question I'm a noob but it looks like that back up is from TWRP but I'm using leeco stock recovery where I live data is very expensive so I want to know if it will work before wasting my data downloading it??

If your plan is to return to custom Roms, do what I mentioned earlier.
Push TWRP and SU to your device.
Then boot to TWRP, your storage folder will now be accessible by your desktop computer. If you do not own an OTG adapter, buy one it makes using custom Roms a thousand times easier. They usually cost $3, and you can buy them at Walmart.
Download my Recovery, and unzip the file inside the TWRP folder, in storage. ( This path can only be this deep: Sd/twrp/Brbxxxx/files here ( don't created and name any additional folders after Brbxxxx)
Next boot to Twrp recovery, and click restore, selecting everything.
Now you will have clean stock with TWRP, and Magisk.
From there flash you flash you the latest TWRP...Again yes, the Recovery overwrote TWRP.
Next flash your Rom, Gapps and the very latest Magisk.
If you would rather have stock, there are plenty of versions of stock all over the internet...Every version. When I return home, I will see if I can find a link, or you can just Google " Leeco X720 Stock firmware"
If you foliar stock of Lt flash from And or the AllinOne Tool.

Okay here is stock 5.8.26.
I added it to my personal mega drive.
Here is the link from my drive
https://mega.nz/#!xB5ggKbQ!OeJbUAGKmlk6AZlzfMjxSGK8OnBkiYsDvdeekTauRag
Yes, it for a X720. It doesn't matter, the X720 and X727 ate the same with the exception of the Sim card, simply flash the radio driver"firmware" from the x727 5.8.20s to remind the phone that it is a X727.
Reminder, I have an X727. My recovery is a X727 5.8.20s recovery.

Thanks ? and I'm planning on staying on my stock recovery and ROM but I don't think you're noticing that I'm saying I don't have TWRP on my phone and my phone won't connect to my PC is there any way to update without a PC and TWRP?

First you can download the stock rom on the phone, then rename it to update.zip
Then boot to Leeco Recovery and install the stock Rom as a n update,.
If your computer is not seeing the phone, its either a driver issue ( Android USB driver) or the Firewall/Antivirus,
It could also be a corrupted user account. BTW, the account must have admin privileges. If all else fails use a different computer.
Since you restored the phone via Qfil,
Don't forget to enable developer options
Enable usb debugging,
set to MTP File transfer
OEM Unlock is selected.
The All in One tool should be able to show whether or not the bootloader is unlocked, while in fastboot mode.
Now that your phone is fixed read my signature.

It is really beginning to sound like you skipped a step
Did you do this part?
After your phone boots, you will see that its storage is abnormally 9.71 GB, to fix this just factory reset your phone choosing the option “Format Virtual SD card”. File system will be restored to normal values.
Now there should be no reason why the phone is not seen by your computer, and you cannot install a factory Rom. Unless the phone has hardware damage. ( which would not make sense since you were able to unbrick the phone ) In addition, did you try another desktop user, removing the android drivers and reinstalling? Worst case scenario, if you can't get it PM me, you can mail the phone to me and I will fix it for you ( This happens alot )

Well yeah that's the weird part my phone would only charge when it's connected to my computer but windows 10 says it's damage but I did the qfil part without any problem and yes I factory reset my phone so that doesn't make any sense and I tried installing TWRP but no luck I ordered a USB port replacement hope that's the problem. And I would mail you my phone but I'm only 15 and I live in the Caribbean

Okay no worries,
I am not totally convinced that there is an issue with the usb card, although it is possible.
Can you get access to another computer?
If so place all of your files ( All in One tool, Drivers, firmware, Rom, Gapps, Root etc) on a flash drive and take them with you..
If you can simply get a computer to see the phone again, you will be good to go> A computer with Linux would be a great option for testing the connectivity and proving that the issue lies with the Windows drivers or something that is blocking the connection ( Antivirus, etc)
On Windows: Go to the Control Manager> System > Device manager > then go to where it has USB and see if it lists the phone as a unknown device.or by name
If it does, that is the issue. Just uninstall flash 2.0, the qualcomm drivers, and te android usb driver and then reinstall, it could resolve the issue for good.
If you order the card it can be tricky because some of those card come with the option of two flex cable options such as this : You want this one Yellow Flex Cable
In fact, most of the time the issue is just the cable and not the card, those cables, have been known to go bad.

Surface RT stack on BSOD's 0xc000000f & 0xc0000428

Hello! Last week I bought used Surface RT 64 Gb Model: 1516 with next problem:
BSOD
Recovery​​Your PC needs to be repaired.​​A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.​Error code: 0xc000000f​​You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any​installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.​
If I try to press the Windows key to "try again", I get:
BSOD
Recovery​​Your PC needs to be repaired.​​Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.​​File: \WINDOWS\System32\winload.efi​Error code: 0xc0000428​
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any
installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.
I've tried download the Recovery Image from Microsoft for my Surface RT (using serial number). Use official manual for creating Recovery USB (format flash in FAT32 and copy files from downloaded archive, Press Volume- & Power Release & Release Volume- after Surface logo shown). Trying to boot from USB - nothing happen, I got BSOD! Trying to enter UEFI/BIOS (Press Volume+ & Power Release & Release Volume+ after UEFI/BIOS shown) - nothing happen, I got BSOD! Everytime I got same errors: first 0xc000000f and 0xc0000428 after pressing Win Key.
I use different Recovery Images for different regions with Win 8.0RT and Win 8.1RT, find & download ready custom images and trying to boot from... Use USB flash-drive 2.0 and 3.0 (different sizes 8 Gb, 32 Gb)
The tablet does not respond to connected USB flash-drive (but USB port is Ok). I've tried to boot from MicroSD :/ And nothing again!
I am tired please help me to solve this problem

Hi I have same problem and have tried everything you have did you fix it
There is a bare metal recovery guide here:
Bare Metal Recovery - Windows
Resetting a Windows RT device using a recovery image
jwa4.gitbook.io
The device is not bootable from SD and it will only boot from USB if holding volume - while powering on.
