Is it possible to unroot your phone without your usb connection working anymore? I plug my phone into my computer which is running Windows XP Media Center edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 and it says USB Device not recognized. I tried to manually update the driver in the device manager but it tells me that the specified location does not contain information about your hardware and I verified that they are the drivers for my hero. I even tried a new cable to eliminate that as a problem but I still have the same issues. To give it one last try I plugged it into my laptop Running Windows Vista and also came up with usb device not recognized. I would like to return my phone to Sprint so I can get the usb connection problem fixed but I need to unroot the phone first. PLEASE HELP! - Josh

you can "re-flash" the stock .img files from Better Terminal. I lucked out on my last phone that went completely dead for no reason I knew of. The techs couldn't revive my rooted phone, so I got a replacement.
Since then, I do a "watered down" root - @forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
Without having to wipe everything clean and start from scratch- Flashing the stock and removing root works for me through this:
I copied unrevoked and RA1.6.2 to my sdcard. Use step 7 & 8 (sh /sdcard/unrevoked and flash the RA recovery img). After reboot, I make a nand backup.
For me anyway- by doing none of the rest, it allows me to remove the apps I want to remove and allows me to reflash the stock 2.1 recovery image. I can then update to .6 if necessary to seal it up...flashing the recovery image can be done from the phone using Better Terminal as well.
The only reason I prefer it this way is, I don't want to use a custom ROM and I only want to pull some of the unecessary (for me) apps out. I'll back it up and if need be, I am 1 step closer to "unrooting" it.
I know, I know...but to each his own...I've taken a rooted phone in (no custom ROM) with a speaker issue- no hassles. I've taken a rooted phone in for dust under the screen, way back when- and had to argue the point that ROMS and rooting had nothing to do with a defect in manufacturing that caused the dust under the screen (was able to get a replacement just slightly after my 30 days was up).... So when this last one was completely dead - I thought for sure it was going to cost me.
Long Lost Thank You!
I tried that and it totally worked. I appreciate the detailed feedback. I just realized I never commented back! Now I have an EVO and I just put MIUI on it, can't wait to try it out. Thanks again!
psouza's one-click root is not working for me. when i try to run it, it says "searching for the phone" and hangs.
I just got a replacement from Verizon and i notice it is XT862. Does this matter?
I have the proper drivers installed, I have Debugging enabled, and it USB is set to Charge Only. Not using the original usb cable bc I don't have it (does this really make a difference??) but i have tried numerous different cables.
When I go into adb and type adb devices, it says list of devices is attached, and there are no entries. It seems my phone is not being recognized, despite the f
Any ideas???
Did you try mass storage or pc mode?
I had that issue with my USB cable. I used the one with my device and it didn't come up. I went grab another USB cable in the house and it worked.
yeah, tried them. Didn't mention that cause if I understand correctly, it should be in charge only.
thanks for the help!
I hope you figure something out good luck
Edit: have you tried running command prompt as administrator?
yeah. same result.
I read in another thread that you were required to us the cable that came with the phone for it to be detected. But also, I used a BlackBerry branded cable to do it on mine, and it worked.
come to think of it, i think i used a blackberry cable to root my first d3. will give it a shot and report back.
why the heck would it matter what cable you use? Though it doesn't make sense to me, it appears that the cable is indeed important.

Download the USB and Charging Drivers off of Motorolas website, make sure your phone connects to USB mass storage after you do this, then switch to charging mode.
It took a blackberry cable *and* reinstall of the moto drivers, but im up and running and rooted. now, to figure out how to get my other d3 to stop bootlooping...
glad to hear that you were able to root sorry about the bootloop though, have you tried using the SBF file to flash your rom back to stock to attempt again? i'm just getting into the d3 mod scene so i can't provide links to files or anything other than what i was told to do in response to questions i had and unfortunately that was one of them lol,
I had to use the cord that came with my phone. For some reason Motorola is bad about not using standards. For example there was an old 355 flip phone that is a Motorola I used to have and it wouldn't charge with anything but a Moto charger. It may be the same port but not the same compatibility. Thankfully it will accept a charge from any microUSB source.

Doesn't your phone have to have "USB Debugging" enabled as well?
USB Debugging enabled + choose Charge Only mode. That should do it.

Yeah, I was able to flash the SBF. It was really exhausted and couldn't figure it out when I originally posted, but after a nights sleep, I was able to do it just fine.
Before I send my phone back to verizon, I was wondering - Is my phone still rooted after I flashed the SBF? I would ordinarily just run an app that checks, but i can't get past that annoying "activate your phone" screen.

uhm, what are you talking about exactly?
my keyboard is broken so they sent me a replacement. It was during the process that I was trying to unroot the one thats going back to verizon that I softbricked it.
I have fixed it. Now I want to know if the phone is still rooted or not. And the radios have been totally fine the whole time.

if you used rsd to sbf you are no longer rooted.
Alright, so before I get flamed, I have searched for over an hour today, and I have not been able to figure this out. I am not new to android, rooting, custom roms, and editing files, so I have tried a multitude of different things.
To the point, my Droid 3 will not connect to my computer. It did a couple weeks ago when I flashed the Liberty Rom onto it, but now it'll just charge and not go into the USB mode. The only reason I know it is charging is when I disconnect the cord it says the disconnected message.
I have tried a couple different cables, and I usually use my stock cable that came with my D3. I have also tried restarting my phone and computer. I even flashed the newest Liberty Rom the hard way and still no luck.
If someone could please help me out I would be VERY grateful as this is a PITA!!!
Thanks in advance!
My two cents would be, try different usb port and make sure you have the most current moto drivers.
Have had luck with uninstalling driver pack and reinstalling.
Hope that helps.

I appreciate the help, unfortunately uninstalling the drivers didn't work, unless I didn't get the correct drivers? I went into uninstall programs. In the device manager nothing came up for my phone or drivers. And I have also tried different ports but to no luck. Thanks again for the reply.
Have you tried a different computer? A different device? Let's just rule out that this isn't a computer issue first...
My Zune works in all of my ports, and my other computer. My Phone however does not. It does the same thing as my other computer, although I guess I don't have the drivers on the other computer, but it would still come up as usb connection right? All this does is charge, sometimes.
Have you tried Linux? No drivers are needed. download a live CD and see if it helps.

("Very Important"!) PLEASE POST!!!
After sufferring through the same issue and delving deeply for almost two days,I have found the culprit!!! IT IS THE USB CORD AND NOT THE DRIVERS OR ANYTHING ELSE!!"SIMPLY USE THE FIRST USB CORD THAT YOU USED THE VERY FIRST TIME YOU PLUGED INTO YOUR COMPUTOR AND THAT WILL RECTIFY(FIX) YOUR PROBLEM.(IT HAS TO BE THE VERY FIRST USB CORD OTHERWISE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AND NO OTHER COMPUTOR WILL RECOGNIZE YOUR DEVICE UNTIL YOU DO WHAT I SAY.I thought it was the rooting of my phone that initially caused the issue or maybe an app,however,I found the culprit.The usb cord!!!(WHATEVER USB YOU USED FOR THE VERY FIRST ,STOCK OR NOT,IT IS THE ONLY ONE YOUR COMPUTOR WILL RECOGNIZE!!!

Can I flash that wit cwm or the stock recovery though? I can't use RSD or fastboot because nothing happens when I plug my usb into it.
Hello everyone,
I've done quite a lot of searching, and I can find almost no one else with the same issues.
Basically, when I plug in the phone via usb, the computer will not recognize the device. I have tried every mode (mass storage, kies, usb debug, etc). However, it will charge. I have tried several cables, including those I know transfer data. When I try to put it into mass storage mode, I do not get a notification on the notification bar telling me to mount the SD or USB storage. I'm not sure if this is a hardware & software issue, or just one of the two.
I work in IT, so I'm not new to repairing hardware or software. Just trying to find SOME leads. The guy who owned this before me didn't do a great job of putting the phone back together when he tried to repair the screen (has a greenish tint, thought it was a loose connection but it may just be defective or needs to be cleaned. Either way, not my concern as of right now).
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated
PS I have tried SEVERAL drivers on SEVERAL computers, Win7, Win8, OSX Lion, Lubuntu 12.10
Also tried putting the phone in Download mode to see if Odin/heim-something or other would recognize it, no luck.
Wondering if the usb isn't fully connected to the port, and if I should take off the back housing, plug it in, and see if it works that way?

Other than charging, when you connect to a pc do you get a device malfunction message in windows? We know the +5v and ground work since it charges so if you get the malfunction message in windows its a short in the data pins. If there is no message, just charging and no reaction from the phone other than the charging indicator, I'd say there is no contact to one or both data pins. I'd look in the micro usb port to make sure the pins are straight (and there lol) and if it looks dirty, use a shot of crc electronic cleaner in the port (battery out and screen facing up).
Of coarse this is if it isn't software related which it very well could be, but sounds more hardware related to me....

Yep, that's exactly what pops up. I can't see very well right now (at work, have no magnifying glass here). I remember a long time ago having a couple bent data pins in my old BlackBerry Curve lol, ended up popping em back in. Hopefully, that will be the same case here.
I appreciate the quick reply, wasn't even thinking of that :fingers-crossed:

On a slightly-unrelated note, did some browsing and came up with this quick question.
Is there anyway to root the Captivate on 2.3.5 without PC connection? (I can send files to the phone via an external SD, just can't use Super One Click etc right now).
If not, couldn't I just flash back to 2.2 using recovery(stock, but as long as the update.zip signed correctly[will be stock firmware so I don't see why it wouldn't] it should work right?) and use z4root?
Well, to follow up:
I see no broken or misplaced pins, it all looks correct to me. I will try to upload a photo tonight.
In the meantime, I managed to brick (I think). Accidentally installed the wrong kernel from my SD (speedmod, which I forgot was for Froyo). Now I have CWM, but I cannot mount via usb still, and since I can't access the external sd from cwm, I'm stuck either in recovery mode or stuck at the Samsung screen.
Anyone have any ideas besides just setting it aside for a paper weight?

Does that version of cwm have the option to flash from ext sd? Go to install zip in cwm and see if there is the option to flash zip from extsd. If so, then you should be all set putting the right kernel or rom on your ext sd and flash away. Not sure I'm the best person to answer your question, but I would start there I guess.

U can't get Root for a Captivate running Android 2.3.5 without a proper working micro usb port.
U can't flash back to Stock Froyo without a proper working micro usb port. (Unless u had Root already and then u could use Mobile Odin from the Play Store).
Only update.zip files signed by Samsung would work in the Stock 3e Recovery.
Stock Eclair had the 2e Recovery that did not require the signature verification.
Sounds like u need a new micro usb port.
Did u take a read at this thread...Captivate - PC Connection Issues...
If that thread is no help then it probably is a hardware issue. :/

1. Yes, actually you can. It's a temp root, but it works (how else would I have been able to flash the wrong kernel). I forget the apk I used, not on market anymore. I think it was like Mizu m9 or something, actually worked was kind of surprised.
2. Stock 3e is nbd now, I can boot into CWM 2.5.1.0 [which does have boot from ext-sd, but it either says it can't mount it or no files found. Not sure if its a version issue, if I could mount it and access the files on the ext-sd somehow this would all be solved and I'd love you guys <3
Yeah, I looked into the new USB port thing.I've tried every driver known to man lol. I think I'll end up getting the port repaired from that one website that was suggested, I think its $35 or so no big deal.
But can anyone confirm that CWM 2.5.1.0 can read an ext-sd? It's odd, because I assume on the captivate it gets mounted at /sdcard/external_sd, and when I look for a zip file to flash from the sd, I can see that folder, but trying to go into it just causes the message "no files found"
Gonna check this meizu m9 root method out.... hmmm...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Go for it, once installed it's pretty straight forward lol. But make you you dl the superuser app from the market (I did it before, just in case that matters). Mobile odin worked fine, adb wireless worked fine, etc.
But I just tried partitioning my SD card, and it still won't read in CWM. I tried mounting /sd-ext but every time I do it just says Error: can't mount
Yeah...i'm just curious as to how that root method works...since a method like that (gaining Root without having to use a connection to a pc) has never been done before with the Captivate since its release.

Gotcha, sounds good. Yeah not too sure if it's safe or not, was just trying anything.
On another note, what format does my SD card need to be in to be read by CWM Recovery? I had it set to exFat, Fat32, and ext2/fat32 and I still isn't being read or able to mount :\.
I was gonna say FAT32 full format as i have read that suggested by others, but looks like u tried that. The card may be bad...idk for sure though.
(Btw...would u mind attaching a copy of the meizu m9 root apk ? Thx.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I may try fat32 again. Interesting though, I had a zip of another version of CWM on the INTERNAL SD which I CAN access.
When I install that (not really install it, just run it), I can mount sd-ext but not /sdcard/ lol...says it's busy...I'm starting to think this is a permissions issue more than anything.....
Sure, it's on my dropbox I can just download it quick and upload it here.
EDIT: idk what's with the extension on the file, should just put it on an sd card and install fine.
I have EXACTLY the same issue x0ne215, has you managed to resolve this issue? Or just replaced microusb?

I have multiple problems so read on.
A couple weeks ago the computer stopped recognizing my verizon gnex that was rooted, unlocked and running jbsourcery 5.1 that it previously had no problems seeing. It still charges via wall and usb with original m-usb cable. I've tried numerous times to re-install the samsung driver on the computer with wug's toolkit with no luck. I've tried another samsung m-usb cable...no luck. My computer is new so no problems with usb ports (I've tried all of them) and have tried the ver 2.0 port. USB debugging is on and fastcharge is off.
My second and worst problem:
Yesterday in a fit of stupidity I restored one of my original backups ( I believe made with CWM recovery ) that turned out to be a stock. img and after restoring it OTA updated to stock JB. All my other backups were done with TWRP and it's no longer present on the phone. I tried installing BootUnlocker from play store but it says I have no root access and the phone won't flash either recovery so I'm stuck with only Fastboot ver. 9 that only wants to flash something from adb. I've exhausted my knowledge and eyes are crossed from reading forums.
I don't know if I can use something like Terminal Emulator for this or even how to use it.
If you know enough to see that I'm totally screwed...Please tell me! (I'm a big boy)
If you think you have a solution...You are a god!
If you need more info...I can provide it
