I tried to flash CM on my Galaxy S.
I followed after the instructions in the CM wiki but now, when it says to do
Code:
adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/
, it says "Error: device not found".
The instructions says that this is an driver issue.
What to do? Because currently my device is in boot loop (I can go to Recovery+Download modes).
It should work in cwm recovery

I know that it should, but it don't.
In cwm there should be Mounts And storage tab. And there choose Mount usb Storage. Then attach your Phone to computer with usb cable. Then it should be in removable disk

Still not showing up (On adb and as a removable drive).

I don't know how to install it... It saying "Install new drivers" but it doesn't saying how to.
I need my phone :crying:
(I'm a bit newbie )
You think that I can move the zip file to an external SD card and put the SD card in the device? I need an micro SD card adapter for moving the file, right?

Yes, you can move zip to SD card and you need SD card adapter too :good:
I've found drivers for the phone. If you need them follow this.
1. Make sure that you dont have any drivers installed.
2. Check that your phone is not attached to your computer.
3. Go to this page http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
4. Then click there

}
5. Download will start.
6. Then extract it with WinRAR etc.
7. After that install drivers.
8. Wait until its completed.
9. Restart your computer.
10. And after all steps you can plug your phone to computer.:good:
Now adb should work
It didn't worked before and it's not working now.
I will just buy a Micro SD card and an adapter. (Much easier)
Ok

Hey, take it easy and don't worry.... With working download and recovery mode you have all you need, your phone will be perfectly fine. Which recovery and which version?
The command you have posted in the opening post is for pushing a file from ADB folder to your phone. So for that command you must
have installed ADB on your PC
have installed Samsung USB driver
have installed drivers of your phone (by simply connecting it and waiting for about 1 min until it automatically gets installed)
If you have copied the file to your folder where the ADB and fastboot exe applications are (normally under SDK/platform-tools) you should navigate to your folder first, for example if you put your SDK to the folder "ANDROID" on your main HDD ("C") it looks like this:
Code:
Ctrl+R
cd c:\android\sdk\platform-tools [I](enter)[/I]
adb push YOURZIP'SEXACTLYWRITTENNAME.zip /sdcard/download [I](enter)[/I]
So this command would copy (push) the zip file from your PC (from the folder where you have first navigated to) to folder "download" on the internal SD card of your phone.
If not sure if your device is connected to the ADB, try first this:
Code:
Ctrl+R
cd c:\android\sdk\platform-tools [I](enter)[/I]
adb devices [I](enter)[/I]
The echo should look like:
bla bla bla
39123(just example)456789. .device
(the bolded text is important, only by such return you would have the correctly working connection)
If you have uninstalled Samsung USB driver, you can find download link in my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308
You will find there all other information how to unbrick your phone. Actually it isn't even bricked, you just need to install any ROM now. Please post in my thread if you have questions. So I will see it instantly in my Tapatalk, as I will be a lot traveling around next few days.
The SD card is working, but now the phone is stuck in installation. It's always booting, going to the CWM-Based CM recovery and showing a red triangle and start over.It's working! But I need gapps... The gapps package through Goo.im is broken. I need one. (I can't live without apps!) I have CM 10.2.1

I plan on installing the CyanogenMod once I get my Nexus One. I have heard many positive things from him, especially from G1 owners
My question is, is the Cyanogen wiki guide sufficient for someone who can read and understand directions? It's located here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Nexus_One_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
I have read everything and it seems to be laid out nicely! I haven't encountered any steps that were confusing at all.
My only question is the lack of partitions. I've watched some youtube videos and they are always taking about setting up partitions (using words like "ext4" and "ext6"). But this guide doesn't mention anything regarding this. Does this guide do the partitions automatically without user intervention?
edit:
I actually do have questions.
Regarding the "Flash Recovery."
1. Note: The Recovery.img should NOT be on the SD Card, it should be in the current working directory.
2. On the command prompt you opened earlier, type in the following command.....
Where exactly is the current working directory? Do I need to select it or do Ii simply enter the command "fastboot flash recovery Recovery.img"
Many thanks! I haven't done anything yet but just want to go over the steps so I don't get lost!
the working directory will likely be the tools directory of your SDK, or whatever directory you have fastboot.exe in.
Before writing in fastboot flash recovery, you need to navigate to the tools directory in the cmd prompt, either by typing "cd" then the /route/to/the/directory, or in vista and above, go to the tools directory, right click while holding shift and go to the option "open command window here"
Don't worry about partitions unless you intend to use apps2sd.
Easiest way to parition for apps2sd is with amon ra. Just follow the prompts, no directions required. Figuring out what size you want those partitions or swap, not so easy. I searched for ages without coming across anything concrete. Ended up going 64 meg swap, 1 gig ext 4 and the rest FAT.
the working directory is the place you extract the AndroidSDK file (usually in the local C drive, so it may look like this: C:\AndroidSDK-windows\tools\
once you install the usb drivers and get adb/fastboot working, you'll usually be running cmd commands from inside the "tools" folder
those directions in his wiki are perfect; as for partition, if you want to use Apps2SD, it's really simple to do as it's one of the options under Amom-RA's recovery image
Thanks guys!
So the partitioning is actually related to Apps2SD? This means that I do all the partitioning after the rom is installed?
Before, all data is lost when you partition. You can mount the sd after you partition while in amon ra and move the rom over then dismount it. Before you flash wipe everything. My advice would be to do a nandroid on the old sd to start. Then copy all files from the old sd to the pc, only takes a minute.
EDIT:
I went to the following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613217 and it worked that way. I am not sure why that method works but it does
Hmm it seems I have trouble already.
After I install the USB drivers via Android SDK, and then enable usb debugging mode,
When it installs drivers, one of them doesn't install:

No apologies! You are correct though. That is the why to install it if it can't automatically find it
Anyway, I managed to install it! The instructions are very clear so props to whoever created that wiki page!!
I do have one more question and it's regarding Apps2SD.
On this page, it gives instructions on how to enable and disable it.
When I go to the option menu, it doesn't allow me to select it. It's faded out. What do I do to go about enabling this?
i thought cm's instructions were enough; but thanks to the help i got here, i was able to root.

fastboot commands work in bootloader
adb commands work in custom recovery (eg TWRP) or booted up ROM (with USB debugging enabled)
so if you need adb then enter custom recovery, check your device manager again, because it changes depending on where you are (bootloader, TWRP ... even version matters, or ROM)
once in TWRP, and device manager is good, adb devices should return you serial number and "recovery" -> then you can use adb commands

Thanks Johny, i followed every single step but still failed to power up the phone.
Even replaced with another battery, combination of power + up or down volume + home button, or even holding power button for 30s or 60s,...the phone still still still does not react to that. That's why I am wondering how could the phone could start from the microsd because it does not power up.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks,
Just to be clear about @cheaterel s steps 1.remove battery
2. Insert sd card (must be class 10)
3. Put back battery back
4.plug in usb cable
5. Press and hold power up till phone starts to vibrate
It shld be few burns till you power it up

great
Never needed to use a debrick, but many thanks for supplying us with one! Always like to keep this at hand. You never know "if" you'll need it.
I would like to also add that there is a way to flash your card through odin but before you do that you have to have a working phone. In my particular case I happen to have two of the same phone. So I keep an SD card that I flashed using the working phone as that failsafe backup card. I'd recommend doing it before anyone does any flashing roms,bootloaders or modems.

HI, I got this phone yesterday, it is now rooted with a custom CWM recovery and it's a great phone!
No issues so far, seems fast and stable and even plays flac files!
DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROMS have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledges about phones and phones utilities too.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
How to root :
You need to download four files
1. CWM Carliv 6 Elephone M2.zip
or TWRP_M2.zip
2. SP_Flash_Tool
3. UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
4. MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7_x64.zip
Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip to your internal storage card on your phone. You will need this later.
In Windows (not virtualbox) extract CWM Carliv 6 Elephone M2.zip, SP_Flash_Tool_5.1532.00.000_Windows.zip and MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7_x64.zip
Go to the MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7_x64 folder and click flash_tool
Then Click the Download tab at the top.
In that window click the Scatter Loading button and browse to the CWM Carliv 6 Elephone M2 folder and select the CWM Carliv 6 Elephone M2 file.
View attachment 3563620
Click Download.
Turn off your phone
Plug the USB cable into your phone and into the computer
Don't turn on your phone
When the Windows driver installer pops up cancel searching Windows Update and make it install the driver from MTK_Drivers_carliv_repack_win7_x64
You may have to force this by agreeing to install a non-signed driver, don't worry, it will still work.
Your phone should stay on a black screen, if not do this again until Windows has the correct driver.
You need to have the Preloader driver installed, once it is the flash_tool will flash the recovery.
The phone boots to Preloader then normal boot, if you miss the preloader option you have to restart and try again.
If your phone does not reboot (mine did not) you need to turn off the phone and then turn it on while holding Volume +
You will get three options on the screen
Recovery
Fastboot
Normal
You change the option with volume +
You choose the option with volume -
We want recovery
In Recovery
The volume buttons move up and down
Power selects the option you are on
You need to Install Zip
choose file from /sdcard
0/
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
After installation choose reboot and YES fix root!
Your phone will restart and you will now have root access.
All credit for the recovery : Caliv
sorry, but how did you root it?
Flash the custom recovery and then flash update_supersu.zip from the internal storage card.
Edit : Guide in first post.

Is the phone plugged in when you restart it? Is there a failed device in Windows Device Manager?
No failed device in Device Manager and the phone is plugged in. I've got it working and can access it with the Explorer in Windows. But the Flash-App doesn't flash a recovery
The driver for windows is not the same as the preloader needed to flash.
That's correct. But how can I change it (windows 7)? Don't know what I must uninstall and how I can install the correct drivers.

Kangburra, great post, txs
Lost my suscription, so starting again as newby
Why would I root? Many sites warn against it.
Rooted my previous non-brand Chinese phone with Android 4.1.1., only 1GB of RAM and partitioned phone memory (12 Mb)
Used Kingroot, worked like a charm, usefull because of partitioned phone memory and could get rid of junk & tmp files. Did not solve low RAM btw (Android too old for swap apps)
bought M2 for bigger RAM, but only 780 Mb out of 3 GB available for apps (in my phone, checked with several appps); get the impression that this is due to the launcher that Elephone installed (becomes visible after installing Nova). As I understand it, the so called UI is only a launcher (60 Mb). Why then so much RAM in use?
So my question(s) to you: (1) do you agree with memory findings, and (2) will this improve with root?
TXS in advance for your thoughts

bought M2 for bigger RAM, but only 780 Mb out of 3 GB available for apps (in my phone, checked with several appps); get the impression that this is due to the launcher that Elephone installed (becomes visible after installing Nova). As I understand it, the so called UI is only a launcher (60 Mb). Why then so much RAM in use?
So my question(s) to you: (1) do you agree with memory findings, and (2) will this improve with root?

I am seeing a lot of free space and not much given to Launcher3.

Finaly find a way to root the Teclast X98 Air III really easy and fast !
First you need to downlaod the Teclast-x98-Root+Xposed.zip file here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-8PvC9Chb15bG1wTWFZYXZmSEk/view?usp=sharing
Extract file, will must have 5 others files IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 + UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 + XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4 + xposed-v78-sdk21-x86 + adb-setup-1.4.2
YOU NEED ADB DRIVER (include into the file, install "adb-setup-1.4.2" say "Yes" to everything;
Tutorial is here : http://androidmtk.com/download-best-android-adb-driver)
Extract the IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015.zip
1. Enable USB Debugging
Go to your tablet and enable the "Developer options" ( Setting => About => Tap the Build Number a few times and you'll see after 7 taps the message "You are now a developer!".)
Return back and click to "Developer options" => Check "USB Debugging" and Accept the mesage (Allow debugging...)
2. Copy those files "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46", "XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4" & "xposed-v78-sdk21-x86" to your tablet memory
3. Plug tablet to your PC
4. Run the script "launcher.bat" into IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 folder
Accept for continue.
Choose the 5th option : CWM (5 MCG)
And Trigger 4 option (T4 for run the script)
5. Tablet will reboot into recovery mode, don't be stressed and leave your tablet plug.
6. When you are into the recovery, select install zip (Power button), search into your folders with UP/Down Volume buttons "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46" and select it with the Power button, and say YES for install
After install SuperSU, now install Xposed => select install zip (Power button), search into your folders with UP/Down Volume buttons "xposed-v78-sdk21" and select it with the Power button, and say YES for install
7. Select "Reboot system now" and say "NO" (don't choose Fix root will may brick your tablet)
8. Tablet will restart (can take some seconds/minutes...) and wait after the "App optimisation"
(Now you can check if you are root with "Root Checker" in Google Play market)
10. Go with a Files Manager at the folder where you have put the there files before and install "XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4"
It's done ! You are root ! Only 5 minutes, fast, easy and sure !
Say me if you have been able to make it too !

Please help :crying:
EDIT :
yeah finally i did it...
thanks to HallEx for the guide & ianmills for the driver.
This isn't working for me either. After step 4 the tablet reboots to the screen with the android on his back with his panel open. It says:
E:No valid installer medium found.
Any ideas how to fix this? I have the 32GB (M5C5) if it matters
EDIT: Installing Intel drivers from https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
now makes this step work correctly
but CRAP!
I followed the instructions correctly including chose "No" after reboott system now with one exception. I installed superSU it rebooted and worked fine. I forgot to put the Xposed zip on so I redid the process only installing the Xposed zip this time. Now when rebooted its stuck on booting with Teclast stuck on the screen. The device gets quite hot but nothign else happens
edit: Rebooted a couple of time and now it works
Thanks!

Also worked for me, but only after installing intel drivers as ianmills hinted, before that it wasn´t opening the install option in the tablet, just rebooted and stuck there! after installing the intel drivers everything went fine!
Thanks! :good:
