[Q] device not recognised / cannot install driver W7 64-bit

I'm having problems with my Galaxy S GT-I9000. First, the history, in case that offers any clues. [I should say, "The history as far as I know it." The phone was given to me from someone's proverbial 'sock drawer'; it could have been there for a reason...]
It was running crap with stock firmware (couldn't delete files or pictures [well, they would delete, but they'd always come back], had a hard time writing files [they would write (sometimes) but then disappear (though not immediately)], tons of 'Force close' messages for apps, couldn't change G-Mail account, etc., etc., etc.). I used Kies to update the firmware to 2.3.6. When this was completed I seem to remember some message about not being able to go back to the firmware I updated from. Unfortunately, I didn't write that message down. I figured the new Samsung firmware would fix things.
However, the problems persisted with the new Samsung / Kies-provided firmware. At that point I decided to try third party firmware, specifically Cyanogen 7.2.0. I followed the instructions at the wiki[dot]cyanogenmod[dot]org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd site (sorry, apparently I'm not able to post external links as a new user). Heimdall put Semaphore's CWM on just fine, and I can still boot into it no problem. I then tried to flash the ROM from the internal SD card (though it took a few tries to copy it there successfully [see write problems referred to above]). It didn't work... It got to Andy on the blue skateboard, but then just looped. And looped and looped and looped... I then tried install the ROM from an external SD card. This seemed to get farther (Andy hung around longer on the first boot after flashing than previously), but it still ended up looping.
I tried the Troubleshooting instructions in the cyanogenmod site referred to above (basically, a different Recovery version). The new Recovery installed fine, but Cyanogen did not... Same boot loop.
I'd like to try to use ADB to push the ROM back to the internal SD card, but now my computer doesn't install the drivers for Galaxy S when I plug it into USB. I have tried to re-install "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe" (v. 1.5.27.0), but it still doesn't get the right driver (Win 7-64). "Galaxy S" shows up in Device Manager, under "Other Devices", when I plug it in, but with a yellow triangle and no valid driver.
I've read a bit about internal memory issues with the Galaxy S. Am I banging my head against the wall with this phone? Does it sound like the internal memory is hooped? Is there any fix if it is? It seems to me that, following the instructions, a flash should work. Since it isn't, I'm beginning to think that it's not able to write/read what it needs to to/from internal memory...
If any of that twigs your memory for a suggestion as to how to proceed, please let me know. I've tried a lot, but probably not everything... Thanks for listening.

For first issue download win 7 drivers from My Android Collections, also for fixing USB problems follow this as for your basic problem, what you seem to indicate is a corrupted Internal SD card, to solve that you need to use only the External SD card by this method

Thank you for the SFOS support of Samsung Galaxy A5 2017!
By using 2 files, I tried to clean flush and failed.
When flushing, the error message was appeared "mount: Failed to mount..." as the red line of the attached photo. The flushing process was worked and the system booting was holded with the Sailfish booting logo.
Can you help me?
For reference, the bootloader of my phone is version 8.

first usb mtp didn't work you can use ssh instead first you must set a password for ssh from developer tools
after that you can connect to it from pc using winscp if you're on Windows like this
ssh server : 192.168.2.15
ssh port : 22
username : defaultuser
password : < your password >
if you're using Linux from nautilus > other locations > connect to server then put this server click connect it will ask you for your password

Software connection is ok! But Hareware(machine vs PC) connection is Not.
After re-install zip file which you uploaded, the ssh server connection with PC have happened the trouble.
The error message is "Host identification has changed"
Inform me for the trouble solution of the ssh server connection.

​Droidian is a GNU/Linux distribution based on top of Mobian, a Debian-based distribution for mobile devices. The goal of Droidian is to be able to run Mobian on Android phones. This is accomplished by using well-known technologies such as libhybris and Halium.​Requirements​
Android 9 firmware for your device:
Redmi Note 7 lavender: LINK
Files​
Download the latest fastbootable image: droidian-UNOFFICIAL-phosh-phone-xiaomi_lavender-api28-arm64-nightly_XXXXXXXX.zip
Installation:​
Extract the archive
run the flash_all script
Boot to fastboot and let the script flash everything.
UBports Installer
Alternatively the UBports installer can also be used to install Droidian.
Notes​Default password​The default password is 1234.
List of working things can be found at https://github.com/droidian-lavender/device-page
APN​Mobile data needs an APN to be set up from Settings -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names.
Broken mobile data after calls​Data connection might break after receiving and making calls. Switch it off and on from Settings -> Mobile Network to fix it. Be careful to not turn off the mobile modem or a device restart might be required.
Out of storage​By default when flashing Droidian it allocates 8GB of storage to the system. This might not be enough and luckily you can allocate more storage with ADB by running (while in recovery): adb shell e2fsck -fy /data/rootfs.img and adb shell resize2fs -f /data/rootfs.img xG where x is the amount of GB to allocate (eg: 50G for 50 GB).
SSH access​connect your phone to your computer and type ssh [email protected], the password is 1234 (on Windows, you may need PuTTY)
Applications​You can find a list of mobile-friendly Linux applications at LinuxPhoneApps
What Works
Manual brightness, Notification LED, Torchlight, Vibration, Carrier info, Data connection, Calls, Pin unlock, SMS, Audio routing, Voice calls, Volume control, Battery percentage, Online charging, RTC time, SDcard, Shutdown, Reboot, Bluetooth, Flight mode, Hotspot, WIFI, Auto brightness, Proximity, Rotation, Touch screen, Earphones, Loud speaker, Microphone, Waydroid
What partially works
Camera works fine in Waydroid but in system itself its slow and requires some technical work.
What doesn't work
GPS, Fingerprint, Offline charging, Dual SIM, Encryption
Waydroid​Waydroid is an Android container which lets Android apps run on Linux phones with GPU acceleration with full speed.
Waydroid works fine on Lavender.
Final Notes​
I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.

Attached images are from different devices but the interface looks and acts the same.

pretty cool, I guess it's nice to have an option if I ever want to turn this old device into a server or maybe run pihole. Nice work!

It can actually be used as a daily driver. I have been using Droidian on another device as a daily driver for a long time now.
Because we can run both Linux apps and Android apps it is a good option as a portable computer.

How should I update？

I followed the steps below, but the logo was black after I started
1. adb slideload .\Desktop\droidian-OFFICIAL-phosh-phone-rootfs-api28-arm64-nightly_20230109_4.zip
2. adb sideload .\Desktop\adaptation-droidian-lavender.zip
3. reboot

what is the issue you're having? did it flash everything correctly?
when you flash the adaptation package and reboot it boot up but not to the UI. it will apply the adaptation to the rootfs then reboot itself once and you should be in the OS
if in the first boot you force shutdown or reboot it the installation will fail
you can wipe data and start again
after install then reboot and don't touch your device

adaptation package is a sideloadable package containing all the binaires, scripts, configurations and other files needed to get the device to a working state. users flash the adaptation package once and that adaptation package installs a package as an example a deb package in debian which contains all the fixes and a repository for the user to update over the air via the package manager. so they do not have to flash anything else later they can just use the package manager and update and system will update just fine.
