I have been fighting for hours to update my watch from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1.
I tried using the restore tool and windroid. Everything seems to connect and appears to work fine right to the point where I select sideload from the windroid app. It fails and says it now cannot detect the watch.
I am using a win7 computer and the ADB drivers do show up in device manager, however the gear live does not.
Can anyone help me get this thing updated?

sorry if this clutters up the forum for a bit, i promise to delete it when it dies.
i've recently started using adb when i flashed over to 5.0.2h. i followed the instructions in the tutorial and was able to use adb. 2 nights ago, i began doing more complicated commands (for me) and tried to push a .apk into /system/app.
i wasn't immediately successful but i eventually got it in there and decided to reboot my phone. after this reboot, however, i lost the use of adb. i tried upgrading to the usb drivers haykuro posted, uninstalling them and re-trying the old one, rebooting the computer, rebooting my phone and none of it works. i've since wiped my phone and flashed it with the latest h build from haykuro (thanks haykuro!) but that didn't work either. now i'm trying to see if the 1.5 sdk will work.
i was wondering if anyone would have an idea about what i should do next. should i reinstall adb? try it on another computer? another cable? it's not the worst loss in the world, my phone is fine and my usb cable still works in the conventional way. i even checked to see if i somehow lost root and i was able to get su on the terminal emulator. but i still want the use of adb for nandroid, if nothing else.
thanks in advance!
I had the same problem after flashing to the G rom. I couldn't get ADB to work but fastboot recognized my phone and I was able to flash back to my backup. First time I did a complete wipe before flashing, second time, no wipe, made no difference in either case for me
When you plug Dream into your computer, does it show up in the Device Manager list? What is the entry? Hopefully it says HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface
I just had the same problem, I had to update the driver and it is working fine now.
Which driver did you use? I downloaded the one on the saphire port project page, but couldn't find a way to install it. When I open device manager, there is no ADB interface listed.

Here it is. http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip after downloading this when you go to update your driver in device manager make sure to use this. Hopefully this will help it worked for me.

yes, that's what it comes up as. and i've tried the usb drivers from haykuro's page and they didn't work before and after rebooting my computer.
i'm on vista and it wont accept the updated drivers. it downloads the standard removable memory drivers and wont let me update to anything else. anybody have any ideas
just installed the 1.5 apk and adb and it works again. for people running haykuro builds, i would suggest trying this if you have adb problems. just intall the 1.5 sdk as normal, copy adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll into \system32 and you should be good.
unless requested i will delete this thread in two days. thanks everyone!
Hmm... i tried that and its still not working ):
Ive tried like 10 different USB drivers from various sites including this one, downloaded the 1.5 SDK and installed it, wen through several reboots and it always says either that the driver is for the wrong platform, the most up to date one is ALREADY installed (HTC Bootloader), or that Windows couldn't find any drivers.
Under ADB Interface in device manager is "%USB\VID_0BB4&PID0FFF.DeviceDescRelease%"
did you try and update the driver through the device manager? i've heard that it's the only way to update it for some people.
I had already Posted & Solved This Issue here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493703
Go Check It, It ll work for sure....
90% of the time the problem is with the drivers etc. Use this tutorial to fix that : http://goo.gl/OS3Vi
If you still encounter the problem then you can use ADBwireless available at google play to wirelessly connect your device to the computer
Hope it helps :highfive:
Hi
I actually replying about the bible quote you have mentioned? you into theology?
For some reason or the other my phone wont get connected via usb anymore. I have tried all methods I have come across so far. I am running a rooted htc hero (sprint) 2.1. it was working fine. then i got an error 67 data call error. sorted that out by turning the phone off and updating the profile. now it wont connect via usb. Windows 7 64Bit is what i am running. I have tried to update/install the driver manually but to avail. Any help would be much appreciated.
Do you have HTC Sync installed? I couldn't get the USB driver out of the Android SDK to work for me. I installed the tools and now it works.
i got it sorted out. did i clean reinstall of the rooted 2.1 and that seems to have fixed all my problems. so i am keeping my fingers crossed and hope nothing else pops up.
Help!
My optimus 2x is not detected when I plug it to my laptop via USB.
Turn on mass storage" in the phone does not appear, it's like I'm just plugging in into a wall charger.
It could connect just a few days before, same laptop, same drivers (LG mobile united drivers)
Have tried it with 3 different laptops, still can't connect (drivers are installed)
A google search reveals other people having the problem as well and unable to solve it.
Can't return it yet for warranty because superuser app is still there.
Originally, I rooted it using superoneclick. Can't unroot it in superoneclick since not detected in USB.
So i unrooted it using z4root (without a pc). It's now unrooted, however superuser app is still in the app drawer.
Any advice?
Hi, I have the same problem and I posted question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274379
Maybe some answers can help You but in my case nothing helped until one day it suddenly started to work again.
Well it was working both on my home and business laptop until few days ago when it stopped. I can+t make it to work again, and I've tried last advice there to remove battery for about 20 min.
I think problem is in the phone, because one day when it started ti work again on my business laptop it was also working on my home laptop without any action taken.
Please help!
P.S. I can hope that when GB will be available through OTA (I can't count on update tools because my phone is not detected), it will solve the problem
Thanks. Will try those suggestions. Not sure if i can update to gingerbread OTA. Theres no OTA update in my menu.
Hi,
I have the same problem as well. Nothing shows up in Device Manager, no notification when I plug in the phone. Just charging.
It was working just fine right out of the box, even before I installed any LG drivers, but it's suddenly just stopped being detected by the computer. Mass storage only or usb debugging makes no difference.
The problem is not with any of my USB ports, as other devices work just fine when plugged in (my iPod pops right up in Device Manager). I've reset the phone to factory stats, tried with other computers, downloaded the most recent drivers as well as the LG Mobile Support Tool.
I've googled extensively, only to find that a lot of other people have the same problem, but no working solutions.
I appreciate any and all suggestions.
Same issue.
Even on cwm and i can't make software update (power + vol- = reboot loop).
So i use adb tcpip...
I think i should try a stock/modaco before send it to after sales service
Thanks michoux.
Can you point me to instructions on flashing via adb tcpip?
edit:
Just did some googling. it seems device needs to be rooted for adb via tcp ip to work right?
Unless there's a way to root without pc then I can't do anything. (z4root doesn't work).
Damn, first mistake i did was to unroot.
do you already have installed the driver?? if already install remove it first and then reinstall the driver
check out this link maybe can help

I must be missing something and its driving me crazy.
I am trying to install Null_ to my gear, I was able to follow the guide and use odin to install TWRP on the gear, that was easy. Now I'm losing my hair trying to send the null_23 zip to the gear.
I've tried sending via NFC, no luck.
Tried sending via bluetooth, no luck.
I tried ADP Push null_23.zip /sdcard but my gear doesn't appear to have ADB installed.
I can't install ADB without root.
Can't install root without internet
Can't get internet without bluetooth tethering
Can't seem to enable bluetooth tethering without root?
I am losing my mind!
Every guide I find says "transfer the file to the gear and install with TWRP" but they forget that some of us are new to the galaxy gear and might not know how to do that!
If someone could please give me some sanity and explain how I can transfer these files to get it working I would appreciate it very much because every guide i've seen to date seems to think i know what im doing (protip, I don't, thats why im reading the guide)
Did you enable usb debugging on the gear?

Yes.
Finally got it working (Kind of), turns out my computer didnt have proper drivers installed, had to go to the device manager and manually uninstall the drivers, then reinstall the samsung ones, then change the USB port I was connected to so the computer checked for drivers and installed it properly. After all that it detected the watch but STILL wouldnt let me ADB.
I FINALLY was able to ADB the files over by using the "Universal ADB Driver" package. http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Hopefully anyone else having these issues can find this information useful. Its not always a device issue but could be the computer doesnt have the right drivers.
Thanks!
WinDroid tool just won't connect ADB to Gear Live watch
I've played with this for days. No joy.
Windows 7 connecting to Gear Live running Android 6.01
NO matter what ADB drivers I tried, nothing has allowed me to see the device.
Of course, I started with the drivers included with the WinDroid program, but when I rerun the program a second (and each subsequent) time, it always says drivers not found.
Have tried two different computers in case the USB port is bad.
I simply want to put the 5.1 boot animation back on the device.
Anyone???
Boowho??
