Oh nevermind. I found another way to do it without command prompt. All I did was find a TWRP .img file from the official website and renamed it to "twrp.img" and dragged it to the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9, then put it into the recovery folder.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androvista:
You are stuck at updating partition details...

I too was stuck there once, but that was at the time of making a backup (TWRP 2.6.0.0)

Too bad I cant help... I used COT Recovery (My problem was solved magically) but now the project has been stopped...but there is a way.

DO NOT use the KFU 9.9 for downloading the recovery.

I will try(find) the link for Cotr.img

If I do, ill post it, if you get it, then flash via KFU by dragging the file to KFU 9.9/Recovery and renaming 'cotr.img'

Good Luck

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttytatko:
I recently got a nexus 7 2012. I unlocked it and installed the custom recovery (CWM) according to the guides given in the forum and elsewhere. The problem comes when I install a custom ROM like CM10.2, It installs fine, but the boot does not resume after the CM animation. I tried another rom like AOKP and even TWRP as recovery, still the problem persists. My bootloader is 4.23 and flashing back to stock ROM works as normal. Please help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusopa:
What recovery you use. And what tool you use to root. For I use WUG toolkit. And install TWRP. And install CM 10.2 with no problem. Maybe you not really root. Update your superuser before that

Stupid question: are you sure you are flashing grouper ROMs?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttytatko:
Tried a lot of combinations with ROMs and recoveries finally I solved it. CWM wasn't working with its wipe options and tried TWRP and gave the full wipe of all partitions before flashing CM and gapps and it worked!!!! :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

Well, I posted about the bamboo aluminum bumper in a different thread and some one pointed out that the hole there is missing, too. But he just drilled the hole with a s,all drill. I will do this, too, once I receive my bumper. If there's a hole in the device, I'd assume it must be there for a purpose, no matter what.

Hi.

Im having a problem wiht my sony Xperia Z. The problem is with USB port or something else i just cant figure it out.

When i connect my charger, Mobile charges fine. I just have to push charger inside the charging port in cell sometimes but most of the times its fine. But i cant connect it to pc via computer. I used same usb cable to charge, it was working. But then i used it to connect it to pc, It dint worked. I tried alot many other cables. When i connect the USB cable to Xperia Z and PC, nothing happens at all. NOTHING AT ALL. I need to reset my phone and do some other stuff via usb. Can any on please figure out whats the problem is? If it's some software issue or hardware problem??

I searched through forum and could not find any other thread so i started this.

Thanks for help in advance.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 51r:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trucifix:
Hello. I don't mean to sound rude but if you're saying you search can't connect USB and didn't find anything, I think maybe try to re-phrase your search terms. Try some of these http://xdaforums.com/sitesearch.php?q=can't connect with usb

Also, cover the basics. Have you deleted any system apps. Tried USB Debugging Mode. What OS ?

Does it even attempt to install drivers, what does the device manager say ?

What does it do when you connect in flash mode, what about fastboot mode. I had an awful time making my Samsung galaxy s3 to connect via USB to my Mac, I would use my SD Card when installing roms, when I started playing with different ones, I learned real quick that some Roms worked flawlessly, some with some help, some roms wouldn't connect to USB at all. Although that was never the case with my XZ, once it installed the fastboot and fastmode drivers for Windows 7, it's never had an issue, I can't really remember before then.

Also wiggle the card and the connection around see if it quits charging. Those are a few things to try, good luck :)

No usb detection at ALL!

Hello,

I have a weird problem with my phone. It's been 3 days and I've tried everything that came to my mind!

First, the phone (Xperia Z3 Compact) was ok, then I noticed I'm low on battery (about 3%), I tried to charge it, connected to charger via micro usb port. Nothing happened, (like it has never been attached at all!) I did it several times, tested the charger and cable on other phones, worked properly on them.

then I tested with several chargers and cables, and tried to charge it with my laptop, even when connecting to the laptop (on Windows), it's like nothing even detected, nothing at all, and on the phone nothing changes (no charging, no data connection, etc.).

Then I tried to restart the OS to see if it solves the problem, but due to the battery-low situation, I couldn't boot it back on! (the battery icon kept coming on the screen). The thing is, on the state before initiating to load the OS (Only the battery icon, big(!) on the screen), it SEEMED to be charging (the charger LED turned on and connecting and disconnecting the cable made difference!). but everytime after several seconds, the SONY logo appeared, and then the smaller battery icon with a 1% text appeared, then the LED turned off and it seemed to be not charging. (I tried it several times, even with 3-vibrate resets, etc. no change)

But when I tried to load it in the Fastboot mode or Flash mode, my laptop detected it without problem. (And did some getvar commands via fastboot, no problem in that state). then I provided a magnetic charger, and charged the phone without problem with that to 100%. But still, in the Android OS, USB does not work at all, no charging via usb, no data mode, no usb detection AT ALL.

Long story short, I even tried these:

Resetting completely to factory settings,

Wiping cache partition,

Flashing (via flashtool) the stock ROM.

and I even flashed the phone with a third party ROM! Still no usb charging/detection! The USB only works in Flash and Fastboot mode!

What do I do?! :(

I got a wierd one. I got a new work laptop (8.1 old one was 7), and when I connect via usb it goes into some rapid loop of connected/disconnected a couple of times a second

I have pc companion installed, and went and manually installed the flashtool drivers for it also, no difference.

Hmm, so a different cable did it for you. On mine I moved the cable to another port in the opposite side of the laptop, and it worked fine. I didn't think of trying a different cable. I haven't been game to re-try on the other port.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aletib:
ok so here's my case:

phone charges well if connected to a chargher-only adapter through USB and charges correctly in it's Sony-socket

phone is not detected by the operating system and I tested it using 2 different cables (that I previously used succesgflly) with: three different PCs, 2 having windows 8.1 (nothing showing up in device manager), one having linux (tried lsusb with the phone connected and disconnected: same output) but...

Phone light's goes blue if I try to start in fastboot mode while connected to a PC (which of course doesn't happen when disconnected or connected to a charger).

I'd like to bring it to service (after trying a hard reset) but I need to backup my data and no idea on how to that without installing a recovery firmware :( (device is not rooted)

any idea?

Forgot to mention: when I plug the usb club, the experia makes the detection sound.

PS: in the past the USB detection when connected to a PC was faulty, acting like the cable was connected and disconnected continuosly. Previously the connection was working fine.

thanks!

Any help?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetsuo55:
You can try using flashtool to flash a stock FTF

You would use fastboot mode.

You can try a linux live session too to rule out windows

It may be your bios settings

It may be the cable, cables break all the time, get a new one.

spare phone

I am a bit sad as in I collect technology i.e phones,

Bar the ones listed below I use my nokias, 8800, 8910i, 8910, 9300, n70, 6630, 6230i, p900.

I always carry two phones as I have my line 2 from orange on a separate sim. This results in me mainly carying my exec and wizard or exec and nokia 6230i, or vice versa wizard and 6230i.

Plus in the car, I just plug my sim acrd in to the car. So only have exec foe emails whilst driving.

If I am out then wizard and nokia 8800.

I bought a Samsung E720 at the same time as my JasJar, with the intention of using it when I can't be bothered to lug the JJ around.

It seems that the novelty value of my JJ still hasn't worn off though, and I've hardly used my little Samsung. It does come to football matches down the Lane with me (my clubbing days are behind me now!), and anywhere else where I don't want to look like a flash tw*t with a brick for a phone!

It's a Moto RAZR for me too, but my RAZR serves two purposes...

First, like everyone else, if I don't want to take the big and heavy Jasjar with me I'll just grab the RAZR.

Second, I live in the US and use Cingular. Unfortunately, Cingular uses 850MHz in some areas and 1900MHz in others. The area I live in has good 1900MHz coverage, but some of the areas I travel to only have 850MHz coverage. When I'm going to be traveling in one of those areas I put my SIM in the RAZR and use it as a bluetooth modem to be able to get email and data on my Jasjar.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] saldous:
It sort of defeats the phones objective as an all in one device. Seem 90% of the user population don't fell it is good as a daily phone and only use it occasionally when in the office / at home. Pretty pointless having it then if you ask me!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
It doesn't defeat the objective at all, I use the JJ so that I don't have to carry around a phone, diary, ipod, book, newspaper, etc, etc every day.

When I don't need all the other stuff, I can leave my JJ at home and just carry my little Samsung around. In either case, I'm carrying as little around with me as possible.

Sometimes I don't even need to have a phone with me, so I leave the house without either of them, and *that* doesn't defeat the whole point of having a mobile phone either.....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cyberslinger:
Pointless?

Although the Exec is a big puppy I would hardly call it pointless. To me it is less a phone and more of the smallest laptop on the planet. But alas... a spare phone is required.

Cyb :)

It's interesting how many people use another "smartphone" as their backup. This includes me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BrettS:
There is no questsion that the Universal is an all in one device, but no one will argue that it's a big device too. I do use my Jasjar as my only phone 90% of the time. 5% of the time I need to use my RAZR with my Jasjar simply because I live in the US and the Jasjar doesn't work on 850MHz and 5% of the time I leave the Jasjar behind because I need a phone, but not the data or PDA functions and I don't want to carry something as big as the Jasjar around with me.

It's definitely an all in one device, but that doesn't mean that it's the only phone I'll use. Nor does it mean that I regret purchasing a Jasjar because I don't use it 100% of the time. I love my Jasjar and I would never go back to anything else. It's just that there are times that a smaller cell phone is all I need, so why bother to take the Universal with me during those times?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] decebal:
i'm thinking about this too ... my conclusion for this thread is that the Universal is used mainly as a secondary phone :roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
... by the people who've responded to this thread. :roll:

My Exec is my only phone. I don't need a different phone. If there are times when the Exec isn't appropriate for me then it's because NO phone would be appropriate: mountain biking... swimming... skiing... car racing... etc

Before jumping to wild and illogical conclusions, try running an independent poll in these forums: Is the Universal your only phone?

- Yes. I never use another phone

- No. I use a second phone on rare occasions when the Universal is too valuable/delicate to risk damaging

- No. I usually use a different phone but use the Universal for specific tasks (data connectivity, emails, browsing web etc.)

That would give you a more meaningful result than assuming that the people who've replied to this thread are a valid cross-section of the entire Universal user base.

Jeez, :roll: do saldous and decebal work for the same people who compile accident statistics to justify speed cameras on the roads? If not, you should. You'd fit right in. :evil:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
I must be in the minority, because my JasJar is my main phone and I use it roughly 90% of the time.

It would be 100% of the time, but when you really don't need the extra features, it's too big and expensive to risk carrying it to White Hart Lane on a Saturday afternoon...and that's not limited to the JasJar either, that goes for every PPC phone that I've owned!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cyberslinger:
definately a primary phone...

I would definately classify the Universal as a primary phone/life device. It replaces a book a notepad a pen a pad a dayplanner a cell phone a laptop a video player an mp3 player a magazine a newspaper and whatever else... But sometimes it is too heavy/big. But it definately kicks ass.

So... in saying that... definte, definately, definately a primary phone (a la rainman) :)
