So my friend, thinking he was being "funny", wiped by phone's system, cache and internal memory. Now I am unable to reinstall firmware on it.
I still have TWRP recovery installed and it is still working. When I connect the phone in my windows 7 system it doesn't detect the device as MTP or a phone. Instead it keeps searching for device drivers and shows it under "Other Devices" in Device Manager as "C5502" with a yellow icon.
My SD Card slot doesn't work so I can't put firmware zip in SD card and then install zip through recovery. I need to flash it using Flashtool or somehow transfer ZIP to phone's internal memory.
Thing I have tried to diagnose the issue, but failed:
Install Flashtool Drivers for ZR. Flash tool keeps saying "Drivers for device are required".
Install SUS
Right click and uninstall drivers from Device Manager.
Connect device after mounting storage from recovery
Install PC Companion. It doesn't detect my device.
Can someone please help me detecting my device in my computer. I feel its more like a windows problem than my phone's issue for not detecting in computer.
Did you put your phone in flashmode first? It should be in the TWRP reboot options. Or just hold down one of the volume keys while powering on; I forget which one it is, but just try both until the LED flashes green. Flashtool should detect it after that, if you've installed the drivers.

Hi at all.
my sgs i9000 don't start anymore. After pressing the power button, the SamsungLogo appears and disappears after few seconds.
then again, and again. No bootanimation appears!
if i boot into recovery mode, this errormessage was printed:
update media, please wait
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdate_media:cant mount sdcard:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

if i try to format internal sd card or wipe data/factory reset, the same message appears.
Downloadmodus can be started!
The phone was not rooted before. the firmware was the last published by samsung for sgs i9000.
If i connect via usb to the computer, my computer can detect the usb device. just "Unknown Device".
I tryed many usb driver. but there is no problem with the drivers, because other sgs i9000 phones were recognized successfully.
I plugged in another sgs i9000 and the driver starts installation itself. On the defect phone, nothing happens except as Unknown device recognized.
I also try different usb cables and other Pc's.
On mac and linux, dmesg says: "unable to enumerate usb device".
Has anyone a solution for my problem?
best regards, michael
if it was not rooted then how did you got the recovery mode?

Every Android phone has the recovery mode, its the stock recovery then,and its not neccessary to root the phone to get recovery mode.
E.g. I've rooted my phone through recovery mode

this is the only solution you will need:
card sd 2-4gb
doawload rom
root the rom
instal ICS 4.0.4 like that in video
AND THE PHONE WILL WORK PERFECTLY
ypu will not be able to use no more the internal memory
But it doesn't work for me, because i cant connect the phone to my computer, i wroted in first post.
I've created a 2 parted sdcard like in the video, but the phone does nothing with it.
are there any solutions how to root the phone without computer that includes odin/heimdall? eg in use of an update.zip in recovery mode?
Has anyone any idea how to solve it?
Hey, Sorry if this has been answered before but anyways;
I just rooted my streak 7 and put on the ICS Beta5.0.1 ROM. Now when I plug it into the PC nothing happens, it still charges fine, but nothing in the way of seeing the storage device in My Computer.
Is this a common problem with this build? (I didn't see anything about it in the build notes)
If not any ideas on how to fix?
If it is, what are some alternatives to accessing the internal memory? I want to put on Gapps via CWM, but as far as I can tell CWM only reads update zips from the internal memory... (If I'm wrong about this please correct me)
Any help would be great
Cheers!
Not sure if MTP is broken on that build or you may have to install drivers again. No, the only way to install Gapps is from CWM or TWRP. On the other hand a factory "Update.pkg" can only be installed from a factory recovery, CWM/TRWP can't do it.
Whoops! All must be done from an external SD card!
You need to possible reinstall drivers.

So I went into device manager and uninstalled the device.
Unplugged and plugged back in and it comes up as an 'MTP USB Device' under 'Portable Devices'.
So from the ADB drivers zip I pointed it to install the MTP driver (tried the ADB fastboot driver too but it wouldnt allow it).
It starts installing the MTP driver but it fails. The reason it gives is: 'This device Cannot start. (Code 10)
What OS are you running even?

Win7 64
I've only tested 5.0.1 for a couple hours, but MTP isnt particularly reliable on it.
Put gapps on an external sdcard and flash from there.
Yeah CWM (V6) doesn't recognise my external SD card for some reason. tried a couple of different cards too...
Anyways I just flashed back to stock 3.2, reinstalled PC drivers, put Gapps on the internal flashed back to ICS and loaded gapps through CWM. All is good.
Still won't connect to the PC on the ICS rom, but that's okay for now. Got everything I need.
Cheers.
This morning I was playing around in CWM and clicked on format external sdcard
Well for some reason it formatted my internal card and I lost everything. I tried using a backup cwm made I guess prior to doing all that but it says MD5 mismatch.
I tried using cwm to get into usb mode but that didn't work.
I also tried using the sideload option but that also didn't work.
Tried getting into download mode and it still only boots to recovery.
How do I get a new rom put back on there?
clockworkmod has a way to mount internal storage on you PC while in recovery. Go to mounts and storage section in recovery and way at the bottom it says mount as USB storage. Plug your phone into your PC and wait for it to find drivers. I would recommend a internet connected windows 7 PC cause that's what I used and it worked fine.
You might have to unplug it and plug it back in once after the drivers are installed.

I just tried what you suggested and it doesn't work either....I think I really got it messed up...but I still think it can be fixed.
After doing what you said CWM says Error: mounting /data
I'm pretty sure my entire file system has been wiped clean.

Once connected, you'll probably need to flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders and start fresh from there.

I finally was able to get the external sd card to be recognized by the phone....now I just cant get my micro sd adapter working so that I can get a new ROM put on there....
Any suggestions on that? LOL

Post in their forum topic, check to see if its a common bug among users.
Hi Friends,
In order to root and install CWM, I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-4.93.6-signed . The installation was successful and the device got rooted. But now I am not able to connect my phone to desktop or laptop in USB mass storage mode. When I do the same, only charging starts but not the USB connection. Just before performing the flashing, USB mass storage was working perfectly fine.
In brief, I followed below steps
1) start the phone in recovery mode
2) select install zip from sdcard
3) select the clock work mod zip file and start flashing process
4) Go back to main menu and reboot the device
I repeated the above process one more time but still no luck. I am new to rooting and still in learning phase. Galaxy Note is running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXLT4. Please help me out with this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Nikhil Bhalwankar
Try to boot into recovery and choose mounts and storage. Then mount usb and connect to pc. Check if the drives are mounted.

2. i cant connect my phone via usb
3. sim cards are not detected.
please help to fix this
After having some problems with my Xperia T (random reboots, reboot loops, crashes) on stock Android 4.3 I decided to give it a go and try to install Omnirom 4.4
I tried to follow this procedure to install Omnirom
1. I unlocked the bootloader using Sony's guide
2. Got root through towelroot
3. I installed TWRP, which seems to be recommend for the Xperia T, TWRP installed BusyBox Free (no idea what this does, but TWRP recommended installing this.
This is as far as I got. The problem I have is that I don't have access to the internal SDcard (my phone does not have a removable sdcard) when connected via USB to my computer.
The internal SD Card does not appear as 'mass storage' in my windows explorer, nor does the phone give me the option to access the internal sdcard as a storage device.
Therefore I cannot copy the Omnirom zip and the GAPPS to the internal sdcard.
I'm stuck here. I tried searching the web, but got no solution.
Anybody who give me a little help here?
I think you can mount the SD-card from TWRP, then you can access it from your computer. Not a TWRP user myself, but that's how it works from CWM
Sent from my LT30p using XDA Free mobile app
Going into -> TWRP -> Settings -> Storage Info
I have 2 options:
- External storage location
- USB-OTG location
What is what? And where should they point to?
Currently they are set to:
- External storage location: /storaga/sdcard0/media
- USB-OTG location: /storage/sdcard0
I can see the contents of the 'sdcard' but have no idea what to mount where.....
Seems right.
USB OTG is when you plug in a usb stick to your phone. So pretty unimportant.
Why cant you download the Omni zip with your phone?

Pluging the usb cable in the phone and pc doesn't seem to do anything. Windows Explorer doesn't show the internal memory card as a storage device, so I cannot transfer the Omni.zip
Pluging the usb cable in the phone also doesn't charge my phone ...
Even PC Companion doesn't find my phone. It keep searching and searching but doesn't find it.

If you have ADB drivers installed (from the Flashtools folder, for instance), you can access your entire phone through ADB while in recovery. Mounting USB storage to transfer files between TWRP and my PC has never worked for me; it has worked on CWM though, although I haven't used that method in ages since I prefer ADB.

Ok, I didn't manage to get ADB working on Win8, but got it running on Elementary OS
Let's investigate how to transfer files via ADB....

Ok, I managed to get the omni rom .zip and gapps.zip to the sdcard using the adb push command.
I tried to install this via TWRP and select the zip file. Unfortunately when selecting 'reboot to recovery' in TWRP nothing seems to happen. The phone reboots, Sony and Xperia logo appear and the phone just starts as normal....
I can't get the phone into recovery. I tried to push the volume up, volume down, holding the volume up/down, push repeatingly .... etc nothing seems to work...
Some more info
- I verified that I'm root
- I reinstalled TWRP
- I downloaded and installed the recovery image in TWRP (for the xperia t this is 'mint')
- I tried other recovery tools such as Clockworkmod, but my device is no supported
- I tried 'Quickboot tool' to get into recovery, doesn't make any difference....
What am I missing?
I forgot to thank everybody who helped me out on this.
I managed to get access to the sd card, push customs roms (CM10 an CM11) and flash my phone. Unfortunately nothing helped fixing my Xperia T reboot problem. I flashed it back to the original Sony rom and returned it to the shop, up to 3 weeks without phone....
