My phone isn't showing up in adb devices...

So, I was trying to root my phone again,(I had unrooted it to get it fixed) but for some reason, my compuer(running windows 7) is not recognizing my phone in CMD. It does not show up at all in ADB Devices. I've tried restarting the computer, restarting the phone, doing a hard reset, and nothing seems to work! I really need to get this done before i leave for the weekend. (not that im being pushy, or saying HELP ME NOW, or anything, just, please... anyone that can help me, let me know what to do asap.
I had CyanogenMod 6 running, if that matters.

There are some issues with the adb drivers working on win7.... take the vista drivers and install them manually. If you Google it you find info on how to manually install them.
Ill post more later.

Are you plugging your phone into the USB port in the rear of the computer? If not try this.
You should read up in the development section. You can get sideloading allong with many other goodies all through your phone without the use of a computer. That being said make sure you can recognize your phone on your PC before you go crazy

[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.

[Q] Htc Vivid Rooting help >.>

Okay, so heres my problem. I got this phone from a friend that he had rooted and had worked, and he wound up reseting it and such before handing it over too me. Im no noob on the rooting and even on installing custom roms.
The phone does not recongnize on my computer in hboot.
Now ive done my research and i know its not supported in windows 8 for the drivers, and the only other computer i have would be a windows xp (which gave the same results)
Anyways, my friend no longer has the computer he used to root the phone, and im stuck with no wifi and no service(was just going to use it as a game tablet like phone. which i was using with my samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket before that died.)
I do have drivers installed, ive tried multiple ways to try and create the adb stuff so i can do this but it always gets stuck on waiting for devices.
So i guess what im asking is, am i SOL or is there a work around on windows 8 to get this up and working. im willing to try any and every suggestion, even if it means i have to go and get a "copy" of windows 7 or if there is a way to get it to work on win xp that would be even better.

See thats my problem though, i cant even bring up adb to recongnize the phone. I have the unlocked status on the hboot page, but i cant simply make my computer recongnize the phone when its in hboot mode. Ive tried every single forum that search will bring up about fixing the issue, and most have simply put that its not supported by windows 8 (at sometime during the post, not in initial posts) My main problem is, i use the phone without a connection to a cellular tower, only through wifi, but without being able to boot img file of what ever rom i put on, the wifi wont work.
I cant restore to stock via the same problem being, the hboot or fastboot part, will not recognize on my windows 8 computer.

I have a better solution for you (IMO)
Download ubuntu .iso from the ubuntu website.
burn the .iso to a disk.
set your machine to boot from cd before booting from HDD (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130425190900AADNjgh)
now, when you boot, it should take you into ubuntu. On the screen that pops up, select english, and then "Try Ubuntu" or whatever the equivalent is.
now, set up adb and fastboot for ubuntu using any method you like ere is a link to a guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html don't worry, it works on 13.04 or any other new version of Ubuntu.
Your ADB and Fastboot should work in any terminal window now. If you get an error like "insufficient permisions for device" then read on below:
Normally, you would type "adb devices"
instead, now type "sudo adb devices"
the terminal window will prompt you for a admin pass. Use the pass you used when setting up the trial. if you didn't use a pass, just press enter. for all your following adb or fstboot commands, use "sudo adb..." or "sudo fastboot..."
If this helped you, Thank me

[Q] Rooting w/o USB connection

Hi, guys! I have a really big problem :/. Right now I'm using the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread from LG ,but you all know that this is the worst OS ever. I wanted to get rid of it but i cant connect my device to the computer. It's only charging. I need a way to root it w/o usb connection. Do u have any suggestions? It's not a software problem! Something inside the phone is broken and i don't know what it is. Is there a way to root it via bluetooth or SD card? I didn't find any apps to root it too. I know gingerbreak etc, but they dont work for 2.3.4. Thank you in advance and i hope there is a solution. :fingers-crossed:

I am afraid you can't. Replacing your micro usb port could solve your problem. I reccomend to buy a micro usb port which is already on the flexible cable so you can avoid ironing.

So i'll need this? I asked a staff member in a service station and he said that the port isnt broken. So i need the whole thing port+flexible cable? Is that what i should do? Thanks alot. Ohh man i cant post links still: http:___//i.ebayimg.com/t/LG-G2X-Optimus-2X-P990-P999-Micro-USB-Charging-Port-Flex-Cable-Repair-Part-/00/s/OTU1WDE0MDI=/z/unUAAOxy9DRSAoTf/$T2eC16R,!wsE9suwycosBS!oTe7+VQ~~60_57.JPG

stupid question: did you try another usb cable or usb port?

Yeah, dude. Of course. I've tried different settings like usb debugging on/off too but still nothing.

here are some articles you might want to check out regarding usb connection

i forgot how the mass storage settings in gingerbread look like but there should be an option to put the phone in "charge only" mode (which you should disable)... pressing menu key in settings > storage doesn't give you any options to choose?

In gingerbread you can only turn usb mass storage and usb debugging on/off. These settings didn't help. I'll read more about the first link you gave me and try it out.

This is quite challenge, root without usb connection. First idea I got to use ADB over WiFi, but this is available from ICS, not on GB.
Second idea - what I remember, some of root methods use APK installation over ADB by script. Maybe you can search for these script methods and place all required files on SD Card. Then try to execute commands by terminal on device itself to install and root.
It's just my idea, maybe wrong, maybe help.

Yes that is what you need if you have to replace your USB port but you don't have skills to replace only the usb port.
You can try gingerbreak to root your phone, but it maybe won't work.

I'm not aware of ADB and scripting. Can you give me sоme guidelines?(I'm sorry 'bout my english. I hope you understand)
p.s. I found some info about ADB. So you need ADB to control your device via commands, but you can use ADB on your computer? You say that i have to find a way to use ADB on my phone so it controls itself and roots?

sorry to hear about your problems but just a simple question here have u tried another computer ? i had this problem with my nexus when i connect it to the pc i couldn't transfer my stuff to it but adb worked, but when i took it to another computer both mtp and adb worked

Yes, I've tried another pc's port and it didnt find my device too. My issue isn't the same i mean that my computer doesn' recognize the phone. There are no messeges that appear on the device or computer.

Guys, the problem is not in the computer nor in the cable, it's in the phone. I'm 99% sure that it's a hardware problem. So i need to find a way to root or flash it without using usb connection.

i'm somehow sure that the real problem here is the device driver installation on your PC/Windows, not the phone...
btw which windows version are you using?
did you try checking out the AIO tool thread?

if you read the 1st post, you might find out how could it help you... especially if you use win 8 which caused problems for many other users when trying to install the drivers or trying to flash the phone...
I - Install APX (NVFlash Recovery) Drivers if not already installed.
It starts the windows device driver wizard to help you install the drivers needed for NVFlash. It detects your system OS and gives additional on-screen instructions needed if your PC is running Windows 8.
FYI: The drivers are located under ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver folder.

I use windows 8 from a week. Anything i've done before was on a xp/ win 7. The problem isnt in the win 8 i use now. I've tried everything on my xp laptop. I have a friend who has the same phone and he can connect it to his computer so everything is fine with his computer. I've tried to connect my optimus to his computer and again it wasnt found by the computer. The problem must be in my device.
I'll try installing the APX drivers.

u said that u wanted to get rid of the lg gingerbread software, and for that u dont really need to root, u could use the all in one toolkit and flash the new unlocked bootloader with cwm or twrp and install the new bootloader rom u want its as easy as that
