Hello everyone,
Alright, I've just updated my phone to the latest version Androind 2.2.1 JPY.
I was following the guide for installing Darky's ROM, but my pc doesn't show anything when I connect my phone.
I have up-to-date drivers.
When my phone was on 2.1 JM2 it was working.
I have no idea what the problem is.
I really appreciate the help and thanks in advance.

Hi i have a similar problem, i have to connect it about 3 times for it to recognise, i am on darkys rom. anyway try this:
go into settings - wireless + networks - USB settings and select ask on connection. then try it again.
I'm not on Darky's rom yet since I can't connect to my PC.
I've just tried that a couple of times but didn't work.
does the phone connect when in download mode ? try a re flash if it does...
It does not, it also doesn't show up in Odin.
does the pc make any sounds when usb is connected ?? are you sure its not the usb cable thats at fault here ??
No sound at all. But like I said, it worked when I was on 2.1. So it's not the USB cable.
Uninstall Kies .
Reboot and reinstall Kies to give you USB drivers .
If your phone works and is set to USB mode Mass Storage connect cab;e and windows will pick up phone .

Just tried it, but it didn't work.
try a stock rom
I am on a stock rom. A fresh JPY 2.2.1.
Still stuck with this problem.
have you tried a different port on the PC ? if that doesnt work u will have to try another cable to find out if its the phone or not... have u done factory reset in recovery
Yes, I've tried all the ports on my PC.
The cable is fine, because it worked just before I updated.
I'm going to try a factory reset right now.
EDIT:
Factory reset didn't work. Should I try a re-flash?
EDIT2:
Just remembered I can't do a re-flash since I can't connect to my PC whatsoever.
Did I brick my phone?
I have the same issues but I have flashed several roms none the less. I gave up on the PC after serveral PC's and several days. I think it may be a usb hardware issue as I did connect to Kies once and the PC once but then I tried the next day and I've never gotten it back on despite countless driver reinstalls, android SDK adb attempts, odin, heimdall etc...
So to flash I first installed clockwork mod as an update.zip (put it in the root folder, then boot up in recovery - you'll need 3 button mode working I think). This was in the instructions for the first VoodooDoctor rom I flashed.
I also highly recomend also getting steam recovery (mine was part of a rom so I don't know the XDA link) as it allows flashing roms that are stored on the SD card. which is handy for me as that is the only way to get something on the phone if the flash goes sideways and I didn't already have it in the root folder. It is accessible now as the update.zip in my root folder and so I can run it from clockwork.
Clockwork allows you to flash from the phone - no odin needed. Steam does the same but steam is newer so I've mainly stuck with CWM except when I had to figure out a way to fix a bad flash....
I made this post about my near death (of my sgs)

I'd still stick with the tried and true as its a little nerve racking to flash knowing that you need some function on the phone to recover but if you are dying to try a good tested custom rom I'd encourage you do so.

Hello,
I've got a stock Galaxy S ROM (factory reset - silly, don't ask) with a Speedmod Kernel and a broken screen. Do you know of a ROM (uploadable using ODIN) which turns USB debugging on by default?
Thanks in advance.
Dont know of a ROM that can do that but voodoo has a debug mode option. Its not the same as usb debug but maybe it will help. If you get into recovery i or someone else can give you directions (how many and which keypresses can get you to it) to activate it.
If your trying to access the device via ADB im fairly sure you can access it in recovery.
Why do you need debug mode? If its to replace the screen by Samsung I have read they don't care or look at the software, just replace it and see if it works..
Can't find much information about it, but it might just be a logging option rather than a control.
I haven't been able to access the device in recovery mode via ADB yet. Possibly missing recovery mode through improper key-press timing due to the broken screen, but not sure.
USB debugging enables control of the phone via the computer using ADB and utilities such as "Android Screencast".
I have a Z here with broken screen/digitizer. ADB is not enabled, I want to enable through any means and then config it via vnc or similar with the long term goal of turning it into a headless mediaplayer(xbmc).
I am able to control it using the painstaking method of plugging in a usb kbd or mouse, doing some blind movements and then swapping that out for an mhl/hdmi cable so I can see where I am at.
With that I have been able to disable the lock screen, start terminal emulator, get into developer options and some other things.
The phone had previously been rooted and had adb enabled but my SO had updated it to stock OTA 10.4.B.0.569 (4.3)before The Drop without my knowing so I lost both of those.
So, the problem...I cannot enable adb. I can get into the developer menu but the options are greyed out. I cannot select anything. I don't know why. I suspected it was because there was a usb device plugged in (either mouse/kbd or screen) but I have checked a Z tablet running 4.2 and a Z1, which is running 4.4.2 and you can enable usb debugging with a device plugged in on both those. I tried toggling dev options off/on, but no difference. Annoying.
Because I have lost root I cannot enable it via terminal either.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery (Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v11 (FW:*10.4.B.0.569}*) from this this thread, linked from [HOW TO] Root 10.4.B.0.569 [ONLY UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER]
In doing this the phone was reset to defaults, but it made no difference to the Dev Options being disabled. I can get into it, but most options are still greyed out, so still no adb
So now I am stuck. With no screen, I have no idea what steps to take to flash the SuperSU zip file from recovery. This is where I need some help
I have no problem wiping the phone, installing custom roms etc. but I need to get root and adb working somehow.
Is there any reason why USB debugging, amongst others, in Developer Options might be disabled?
Possibly a permissions problem? Fixable without root?
Could someone running the same recovery possibly detail the steps needed using the hardware buttons (up, up, power, down, power, etc) to flash supersu so I can get root?
Assume blank external sdcard with only that zip on it
Could someone recommend a custom rom that is safe to install on that software version that has root and maybe adb enabled?
Would it be possible to flash that from fastboot?
afaik, only stock/signed roms can be installed that way?
If I got adb working, could I sideload a rom/zip from that recovery or another non-touch recovery(swipe to proceed is definately out)?
Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas or alternative methods to attempt, in order to get control over the device?
thanks in advance to anyone that can help!
So to clear things out my phone is not bricked it is currently rooted and has twrp recovery installed. I've been trying to restore it back to stock but the lg recovery tool will load my kdz file everything goes good then it tells me it can't detect my phone. I already installed and the usb drivers and still nothing I even tried enabling usb debugging mode and it still don't work. I also tried flashing in offline mode and it does the same thing it just wont detect my lg g2 can someone please help me out i want to send it in for warranty purposes but i need un-root it before i send it in thanks.
