[Q] DRIVER ISSUES flashing from CM7

OK, I'm trying to flash from CM7. I've installed the Android SDK with Nexus S usb drivers. I can get into download mode, that's not the issue. The issue is that the computer will recognize a mass storage device and an Android Composite ADB interface (my phone) however, it will also say UNRECOGNIZED device. I've read thread after thread on here and have followed all the different suggestions and I've tried all different USB ports on my computer. The only thing I haven't tried is a different cable. ODIN will not recognize my phone no matter if it's 1click or not. I even tried installing ubuntu on my computer and when I chose to boot that instead of windows, it gave me all sorts of errors and wouldn't go any farther. suppose I need a dedicated linux machine. anyway. I'm at my wits end trying to get rid of CM7. can it really be this damn difficult to flash over it?? I really don't know what else to do besides a different cable, but I don't really see how that would be the problem, considering when I have no drivers installed, windows recognizes my phone as a captivate and wants to install the captivate drivers......even though I've already installed them?? my phone ends up showing up as the Android Composite ADB Interface, which I mentioned earlier. Can someone please for the love of God freakin' help me get this off my phone? I am still have very horrible battery life and it is too buggy still for me to use it everyday. I would appreciate any response I get. YES, I know I've posted with this problem before, that thread went no where and actually got deleted. but OK.

Try using a different computer, preferably with a different OS(win 7 instead of XP, etc).
What kind of error when installing Ubuntu? Only error I had using wubi installer was windows-no disc (just keep clicking continue until the install wizard pops up)

After installing ubuntu it wanted to reboot. So I did. I chose to boot into ubuntu it flashed some errors real quick with no time to read then rebooted. Did this several times. Don't know what the problem is. I will have to search for access to a win 7 machine. Seriously though I'm ready to smash my phone. This should not be this hard.

It's late for my brain. Maybe someone else can find a fix for you. Good luck.

Well boot into windows and uninstall Ubuntu with the uninstall a program place.

Then reinstall Ubuntu and when you reboot and select Ubuntu hit escape then enter.

Rooting without USB possible?

Hello guys,
I have now tried for the last 8 hours to connect my phone via USB to my computer without any success.
I have read many threads concerning this problem but by now I just assume that my USB port is partly broken as I have tried all the solutions and none worked for me.
I can still charge the phone but windows isn't even showing that a device has been connected. Twice of probably thirty times windows showed me that an unknown device has been connected for a couple of seconds and then the phone isn't connected anymore.
I would like to root my phone and would like to know if there is a possible way to do it. Some say it's possible (depending on the Firmware already installed), some say it isn't.
My i9000 phone has:
Firmware 2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.9
[email protected]#1
Build Number Froyo.XWJPA
I hope you guys can help me, I am getting desperate...

Try this : http://www.unlockroot.com/
Here is the drivers : http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml

Hey guy,
did you install Kies on your Computer? Your PC need the latest USB Samsung drivers. Note that you couldn't install Samsung drivers for newer devices like the Galaxy 9000 on Windows 2000 or older. You also have to look for the right drivers for your system. Maybe you did install x86 driver on 64 bit system or x64 drivers on 32 bit system.
Driver solution:
Go to settings, system and look for the hardware manager or simply check the "windows brenchmark settings" (included in vista and win7).
Try to follow that instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542633
Note:
If you have a working USB connection, you should search for flashing instructions because flashing is always on your own risk! It isn't hard to learn but you have to know which risks are there. Don't be scared by faults they can be undone (mostly).
Flashing:
First you should upgrade your phone to an early Gingerbread (3.2) build. Just search for "Gingerbread Stock Rom" or use "Darky's Resurrection" package. You'll find them here on XDA or in the world wide web
If you get trouble you'll get support here but first you should read about flashing and rooting.
best regards

As I told you I think that my USB port is damaged and hence I can't establish a usb connection to my phone.
I tried several drivers, Kies, different settings, simply everything which was already discussed.
My Galaxy will not even show up as an "unknown device" in my Windows 7 32bit (of course I used 32bit drivers).
Unlockroot requires me to connect the Galaxy via USB to the computer, so I can't use that.
Any other suggestions?

If your using a acer computer and you have never reinstalled window than it more than likely wont work. But you can google apps like z4root and universaland root i think thats what its called. Those apps i have rooted a few froyo devices with but z4 i have never seen work with the i9000 but try and see

I ran into a similar problem this evening on my Bell Canada Galaxy S i9000m. This surprised me as I have debugged with this phone in the past but I have recently flashed the custom Cyanogenmod 10.1 Rom on it.
Two things:
1. What version of Android are you running? (Stock or Rooted with a custom rom?)
2. Have you installed the Samsung drivers for Windows 7, 64 bit?
If you are running the stock OS and have not installed the Samsung Windows 7 drivers, either download and install the ones posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
or try the steps in "solution" below...
I am running CyanogenMod 10.1 and while I had been debugging source in the past on this phone, I had not debugged since installing CM10.1. I noted, similar to your experience that Windows Device Manager was showing an error for my i9000m, no driver had been found and assigned. I have installed the Samsung drivers in the past and they are still installed but I suspect some difference in naming of the device in CM10.1 which confused Device manager.
The solution: Click on the device (GT-I9000) and select properties. Then click on the "Update Driver" option and selected the option that has windows go search for the correct driver. To my surprise, Windows 7-64 bit found and installed what appears to be a Generic Android Device named "Android Composite ADB Device". I am able to debug without any problems now.

[Q] Root SGM2 on Mac

Hello guys,
I've got a problem, does anyone know how to flash recovery - CWM or - using Heimdall? I've tried running Odin on Wineskin but it didn't detected my Mini, and Heimdall is hard to understand because there's no menu like Odin and also I'm pretty new to Android - been using iPhone 3G for a long time. Can you please help me?
Cheers!

Anyone? Please?

Heimdal don't work with mini

Its not impossible you can use a windows emulator or Wine?(I not sure cause that's what I use on Linux and some say supported by Mac)

Wine doesn't support USB Detecting.

RE: Root on Mac
I finally rooted on Mac via VMware and then installed Windows 7 via BootCamp. Sorry Apple but Mini 2 is such unpopular phone that there's no method to do on OSX.

Soft/Hard Brick Tab P1000 (Help!)

Hi Guys,
So basically I have a P1000 in my hands. I was asked if I could upgrade it to gingerbread since it was running a slow froyo ROM from a Portuguese provider.
The thing is, since the beginning that I don't have access to ODIN. I can go into download mode but the tablet is not recognized in both windows ( USB Not Recognized - Unknown Device ) and linux ( device descriptor read/64, error -110 ).
Since I wasn't able to get in ODIN I used MobileODIN. I was able to flash gingerbread and I was able to boot but something went wrong because on boot and recovery I had colored lines. This was probably a bootloader issue since MobileOdin doesn't flash it.
After it I made the biggest error, I flashed thru MobileOdin the Overcome Kernel. The flash it self went fine and it was booting after but the big problem for me was that it changed RFS to EXT4, changing the partitions it self leaving me locked to that ROM since MobileOdin doesn't partition.
I didn't realized the impact of the kernel at the time and I basically killed the TAB when I tried to go back to froyo using again MobileOdin. It flashed the kernel but then it wasn't able to boot into recovery and the Tab was freezed in "Galaxy Tab" screen.
The thing is, I JUST NEED DOWNLOAD MODE!!! I'm able to get into it but I can't get a way to get recognized by the PC.
The cable it self is working since it worked with ADB,etc in the ROM.
I tried many drivers, with and without kies, and 5 different PCs (Win7x64,x32, XPx32) and no luck.
Was able to try other cable to but I have the same issue.
Basically I think I'm screwed! I don't think any of the bricked guides apply to me since I can go into Download Mode! I just need to get it detected by some OS.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Use linux with heimdall.
Your descriptor issue is probably irrelevant, maybe linux trying to mount the SD card.

Hi!
I already tried heimdall, but the device doesn't show in lsusb.
When using heimdall command line it just says that it doesn't find any device in Download Mode :\
Next thing I was thinking was to take out the battery because I'm really out of options really :|

Not sure if this matters, but I always have this in my machine. (Ubuntu)
create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
within, add these lines
#Samsung
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
save the file, then do a /etc/init.d/udev restart
that should make the device hot pluggable, detected, in ubuntu.

@edition
Priyana told me about your problem... There was another friend on this community had something like yours...
And these are the private messages between me and him... I hope it will help for you...

HI there. Thanks for the link. I can't seem to install thse drivers at all. My win7 laptop is x86 and give me a error message about making sure its the right package. On my Win8 systems i execute it but it starts to load then nothing on both Laptop and PC.
Heimdall i can see the unknown device but refused to install drivers from the drivers folder.

You have to install the drivers on windows 8 according to:
1- right click on the setup.exe then select
2- troubleshoot compatibility.
3- run through the wizard selecting that your application was running fine on earlier version of windows ...
Good luck

Hi!
Thanks for the help but are those x64? Was trying to run in XP x32 but it says is not a valid win32 app. I saw they are 1.3.450.0, are they changed? I think I already tried that version without luck :|
Regards.

These drivers I was using on windows 7 without any issues... But after I used windows 8 I couldn't install them...
It is supposed that they are not changed and am using them for the last two years... I tried Odin 3.07 and it also work great for the tab..

Tried removing the battery for some minutes too and still have the same problem.
Do you guys think JTAG could help in this situation?
Thanks

Does a device need to be seen by lsusb?
If you do a heimdall flash, does it give error?

When in Download Mode it doesn't show in lsusb.
Heimdall just says it didn't found a device in Download Mode.
In dmesg the error is " device descriptor read/64, error -110 "

Going for JTAG.
I will let you guys know if it works out.
Thanks for the help
