I have tried Windows before Ubuntu, I was able to identify as APX in device manager but I could not understand and get any results, and decide to move to Ubuntu.
I appreciate if I can get straight answer that I can’t seem to find:
Since it’s visible as APX in ubuntu and Windows what are % chances to be recoverable?
I’m newbie and I have tried to learn as much as I can…but after a week of frustration I’m very down on energy, and lost …in commands that don’t seem to work as specified on forum.
I appreciate any help and direction on where should I start.

[Q] adb devices (Ubuntu) does not show device after upgrade to ICS

Hi!
I got OTA update to ICS today, and everything went smooth. The phone is working fine. I connect it to iMac, run adb devices, and there is see my device. I'm also using vmware fusion with Ubuntu, where I develop Android apps. Ubuntu does not see this device. Previously, it worked fine. Yes, the device is connected and configured to be available to guest machine.
dmesg and lsusb output follows:

Am I the only one having this problem? Any other Ubuntu users with Galaxy S2 and ICS update?

This disables USB debugging. I did it anyway, but it still does not show up. Unfortunately.
I solved this by editing Ubuntu.vmx file. I added the following lines (I believe the last line makes a difference):
Code:
usb.quirks.device0 = "0x4e8:0x681d skip-reset" # Mass Storage
usb.quirks.device1 = "0x4e8:0x68a9 skip-reset" # Media
usb.quirks.device2 = "0x4e8:0x6877 skip-reset" # Kies
usb.quirks.device3 = "0x4e8:0x6866 skip-reset" # SGS2 ICS

USB stopped working - doesn't charge or mount internal memory

I have noticed this morning that while my Xperia S is connected via USB cable to the PC it does not charge, ie. it indicates charging but battery level goes down rather than up. Also I've noticed that my OS (Fedora 16) stopped mounting Xperia's internal memory. Dmesg output is just that:
Code:

Did a bit of research around the interwebs, found advice to clear data of the MtpApp app (settings -> applications -> all -> MtpApp), which I did but that didn't solve the problem, yet dmesg output changed a bit:
Code:
[34734.683275] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 67 using xhci_hcd

Seems to also depend on the USB port I use in my laptop, ie. in one port it says "Device not responding", while on the other "device descriptor read/64, error -32". UPDATE: On double check it seems like USB 3.0 ports saying "not responding", while USB 2.0 port returns "descriptor error".
I obviously tried rebooting (including hard-reboot with volume-up key held), tried different cables, different PCs, including Windows one which just popped a balloon saying something about "unrecognized device". Nothing seems to rectify the issue. Needless to say it was working perfectly up until today.
Thankfully, it seems that's a software-related issue rather than physically borked USB port as I successfully managed to put device into flashmode (volume-up + usb plug). UPDATE: Unfortunately, even if physical plug to the port is recognized and green or blue light comes up, dmesg still returns "descriptor errors" and device is turning itself into charging-only mode (I initially thought just seeing blue/green light means either of modes is entered).
Running out of ideas what else I could do to get USB work again, apart from hard reset. Any suggestions more than welcome.
UPDATE: Out of the sudden, after 1525th reboot cycle somehow charging via USB cable works fine again, however internal storage is still not mounted to the PC. Doh! I guess I'll end up with warranty repair/replacement.
FINAL UPDATE: USB port died completely, plugging USB cable to the PC doesn't trigger any dmesg activity at all and handset after a while of doubt recognises connection as a standard wall charger. Sorting out warranty replacement as we speak.
Have you tried cleaning of the USB port/connector (of your phone)?

No, I haven't, but I doubt that's the case, as it wouldn't enter flashmode either.

[Q] Briked but TWRP bakup

Hi,
I just briked my TF201. I have only the Asus screen and the "The device is Unloked." notification.
If I restart my TF201 and hold vol up and power, on my Linux I found it like:
Code:
usb 1-5: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci
usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=0955, idProduct=7330
usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-5: Product: APX
usb 1-5: Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corp.
mtp-probe: checking bus 1, device 6: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-5"
mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 6 was not an MTP device
The TF is reconise under Windows too with the APX driver.
So I think I can use nvflash.
My question is there is any solution to unbrike my TF201 by using old TWRP bakup ? (I have the original configuration too)
Regards
Totorux
Your nandroid will only help if you can get to twrp. You should've used NVflash to generate the blobs, without thosr blobs NVflash will not help you

Sorry to say, but as you don't have the nvflash back up files APX mode is of no use to you, try buying a second hand motherboard of eBay and replacing it

Trouble with Cheap Chinese Chablet

I'm having problems with a Chinese tablet that I believe to be a Mediatek TAB910 with a MTK6592 processor.
It started by having problems with the SIM slots which I put down to a faulty SIM card. I obtained another from the telco but that didn't solve the problem. I concluded that the problem was with the SIM slots or with the software so I did a factory reset.
That appears to have gone well EXCEPT that I cannot get past the "Enter Privacy Protection password" screen (PPP). Let me say at this stage that I have never used PINs on my SIM cards; in fact, if I put a SIM card in which has a PIN then the screen asks for and accepts the SIM PIN but still presents the PPP screen.
I have tried to connect to the tablet by USB in order to try SP FLASH, but that tool doesn't see the tablet at all.
I then tried sudo dmesg|grep usb to see if there was any recognition of the USB and got the following results:
[237820.461318] usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 22 using xhci_hcd

It appears that the tablet is identifying itself, but immediately disconnecting again, hence no response from SP FLASH.
I can get the tablet to drop into two factory setting levels, one with English language instructions, the other with Chinese language instructions. Both of these appear to work as expected when I run through the menu items including, in the Chinese menu, "Eliminate eMMC".
I have also modified the udev files, but seemingly to no avail.
~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/80-persistent-usb.rules
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ACTION==”add”, ATTR{idVendor}==”0e8d”, ATTR{idProduct}==”2000“
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ACTION==”add”, ATTR{idVendor}==”0e8d”, ATTR{idProduct}==”2002“
~$ sudo service udev restart

My question is: Where do I go from here before I decide to bin this chablet.

Thanks for that but I have already been down that rabbit hole without success. My big problem is that the USB comes up but promptly disconnects again
Usually MTk preloader comport will disconnect if correct bootloader is not detected. So check you've got MTK6592 supported sp flashtool version and original firmware loaded. For privacy protection removal you need to format whole flash except bootloader and flash origin firmware then need to repair imei.
For some models you need to press and hold VOL+ or VOL- or both to get in to flash mode.
