[Q] ADB & Windows 7??!!!

I am currently running Froyo 2.2 Red Glass Nov 2 Update using the Firerat Partition Mod. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and I can't get ADB to work. It's something with the drivers. Does anyone have the drivers needed to get ADB working on Windows 7. I think it may be the updates Windows pushed down but it could be something else. Also I wanted to know, if there's a way to flash a recovery without using adb. My recovery is f*cked...I had RA-1.7 (Darch Unofficial) working properly, but wanted to see what was the benefit of using ClockWorks and I went from Clockwork to 1.6.2 and now I can't boot into recovery at all. If you need a log let me know. Thanks!
SN: I know this is in the wrong forum but I can't get my phone to boot into recovery nor use adb on my pc to flash a new recovery image. I need help because I'm gonna go crazy...AAAHHHH...wouldn't you do the same for your Hero???...lol...but seriously, I need help like yesterday if anyone has a solution please PM me or post. Thanks Guys...

I can't remember why but that happened to me. I'm running windows 7 64 bit. Try using the flash_image command and push a new recovery I always use amon ro 1.6.2. You can do that from terminal on your phone if you have to. I don't know if your s-off but if worse comes to worse then you could use a HERCIMG.zip Also another guy wrote about this in the q&a section. But it could have been deleted. I remember I ended up running the ruu at the end. It's not the computer it's the phone

I need x32 not x64...so I'm back at square one. Plus I did post in the right section in addition to this one. I got 41 views and no replies...that sucks right...

Try using Rom manager to re-flash clockwork?
Plan C: RUU your phone, and re-root and go from there...

There is no reason for him to reflash any recovery, as adb connectivity starts in recovery and drops when you pass it or reboot the phone and picks up from the rom itself (the adb communication interface is built into all versions of android)
Win7 32bit works fine with the 32bit ADB drivers, but just like the 64bit win7, it has hickups sometimes. That's your problem I am sure. Sometimes when you disconnect and reconnect a device (or it reboots) in windows 7 the drivers crash, and what win7 does as opposed to xp or vista, is sort of blacklisting the driver to stop it from crashing the rest of the windows system.
Ergo, you just need to reinstall the drivers you already have.. Have you tried that?
BTW, HTC Sync drivers are completely different than ADB drivers, and will cause conflicts. Did you install HTC Sync lately?
One last thing, you remember where you installed adb? Or rather your Android-sdk-Windows directory? From there it is in the usb_driver folder.
i.e. if you installed to the root of your drive, it would be in:
c:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\
The name of the file is android_winusb.inf
Well when you do, or either way, someone move this to the q-n-a section.
Problem solved.

Hows this going? Try pming carbon kang he had the same issue back in May it's happened to quite a few of us after using a different recovery and flashing this one rom. I know it sounds crazy and shouldn't be happening but it did. The thread that it was in got deleted probably by mistake.

[Q] cant root, need help!

ive been working on rooting my inspire via bubbys method and have run into several snags...
first off, im using a mac with parallels with windows vista installed.
I installed htc sync then uninstalled it, left the drivers there.
when i ran bubby's one click process and it got to the point of looking for the pd98img.zip this is where i hit a snag. Parallels pops up asking if i want to use it for the current VM session. i hit yes but it couldnt find the phone, had to unplug and plug back in twice.
the second problem was that when i finally got the pd98img.zip process to work the update failed...
the next issue was the rage thing. i got it to go through but terminal emulator will not run a 2nd time for me. it did force close, but wont open. just white screen and phone is sluggish. if i restart the phone, the cursor is still a $ not a #. not sure where i should go from here.
update: trying again after reading faq's that the issue may be the goldcard being wrong format. i formatted sd card on the phone itself and now running process over. ill make a brick outa this yet!
still getting model id incorrect! update fail! when doing pd98img.zip.
i get through the rage commands in terminal again and it will not run the 2nd time.
At this point i had to do some updates on windows, and now it wont even go through the process of making the goldcard through the utility included with bubby's, where as i had no issue prior to 170 updates windows had to make (i hate windows) so now im about to totally give up. ive tried two different sd cards, formatted them through the phone, because windows wont format them (i get an error with that too) ugh!
will someone PLEASE help me out?

Try a reboot.

Did you do a quick format or a full format of the SD card?

i did the format through the phone, dismount then format. the windows utility doesnt run, it fails immediately. no clue why.
i will try and reboot it and go from there again. otherwise i may try and download some aftermarket 3rd party formatting application to do it. ugh!
update: rebooting phone and windows changed nothing. i still see htc drivers etc. pc sees the phone if i switch it to disk drive. if i try and run bubbys format utility it tells me to check my drivers. they are there and were working prior to installing a ton of windows updates earlier this morning.
formatting sd card through dos right now...
*cross fingers*

i just want to rant for a sec while this is formatting.
ive been trying to root this thing for like 3 days now.
every single step has fought me tooth and nail, i dont know why, thats just how things go for me sometimes. but im going to do this. Im going to win and the phone may as well give in... my fuze was so easy lol
/rant off
thanks for the help guys, i get nervous when i get half way through a process and get an error message.

windows is not seeing the phone when in charge mode. htc drivers are still installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled once already.

im getting this when i check out the driver for the htc phone:
androidusb.sys
Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

use the hack kit, its mac compatible and easier then bubbys method..

Have you, by chance asked in bubby's thread? You might also shoot cleard a pm.

I tried posting in his thread and was getting nothing. Ill try the hack kit again though. It would be awesome if I could find a chatroom full of you guys.

I don't have internet atm when I get home ill run this. Finally got the .sh hack file to.run, had to set it to open in terminal instead of text editor.

im trying to get to the following folder through astro file manager:
sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:82d1
but i have nothing like this. i can get to mmc1 but only see device, power, subsystem, and an event file. if i click subsystem folder i can click mmc1 again. i repeat this 10-15 times so it looks like:
sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1 then at the end i get 3 files mmc0, mmc1, mmc2. but never anything like "mmc1:82d1" it is this way on both sd cards even after i format them through the phone like the instructions said.
update: was able to go to mmc2 and find the file right away, hope its okay...

well its doing something now.... info[ruu]wp,userdata,xx stuff.
hope thats good.
k that done, sound back on now. booting up...

I had a bunch of trouble with mine too, cause i'm a tard. Let us know what happens.

okay everything seems to be fine now. signal, even has the H.
to flash a custom rom do i just go to clockwork and do flashwork recovery then install from sd card?

i knew if i could just get the ball rolling id be okay. nothing like the fuze lol

I would read a little more before you venture into it.

Make sure you are happy with your downloads speeds first....depending on what radio you are using...if you are still on the downgraded radio you might want to update that.
Then if you go here

There is a video and a picture tutorial on how to flash roms...just make sure you go into rom manger and flash clockworkmod recorvery first....

[Q] can not go in download mode

Hi,
folow problem:
i made the upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 and found out that there are some apps, language (German), try to downgrade to 2.2 since this was done (for 3Weeks) i can not use the phone because it shows AT&T when i push the power button, when i plug in the usb it shows just the charging symbol. Itry the 3 button reset nothing changed.
Yesterday i spend the hall day to find out is this a waranty case or not ?
Futureshop where i boughtthe phone said as long the phone is not running or show the ROGERS screen they can do nothing ???!!! Costumersupport - no comment.
At Rogers plus they said they have to send it in because its on a Rogers contract.
I tried the reset method with the Roger customer service the same result nothing changed. Just the AT&T screen.
My question is what else can i do to get the phone back so that it works befor i did this update.
I don`t no what downgrate it was, the only thing i know it was the update from samsung kies.
Have u any solutions ?
THX n Regards

Sounds like you have a soft-brick. You have to either buy a jig ( Which you can find here: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-download-mode-jig/ ) Or follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128 Use either one of these to get into download mode, and flash back to stock with odin.

try using JIG to get it into download mode and do a reset with ODIN

This is not a soft brick............don't panic. This is a kernel mismatch or bootloader problem. DON"T USE KIES FOR ANYTHING...except if you really want to brick you phone. I hate that program (my personal opinnion!!).
Have you tried the button combos to go to download?
see this link for some http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
or google "Captivate Download Mode".
CHECK YOUR USB DRIVER VERSION. http://www.capfaq.com/w/USB_drivers Use the link to Samsung (click on "Software" blue link on top).....works best with Win XP, WIn Vista. You can also use 32-bit or 64-bit driver but see next comment IF YOU ARE ON WIN 7.
ALSO, DONT USE WINDOWS 7 64-bit, unless you have to. My opinion again............but a lot of experience behind it. The USB drivers are for 32-bit and is in my opinion flaky. If you can use Win XP then great, otherwise go with Win 7 32-bit. Even Win Vista is good.
THEN USE ODIN.
YOU HAVE TO FLASH THE STOCK 2.1 I897UCJF6 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843. The work upwards to 2.3. It is better to flash JF6 since I do not know what bootloaders are there on you phone.
.........if you can get download, then post back if you do not know how to get stock. There is always a chance of bricking your phone during flashing, but it is slim.

I must disagree with your recommendation for jf6. I would recommend KB1 or KB2. They are both available in the development section.

Agreed. But his 'case hsitory' is murky. In fact, I actually first posted KB1 then changed to JF6, since though he says 2.2 who knows what state his phone's in. He may also be stuck somehwere in between on 2.3, where GB bootloaders may or may not be on. JF6 without bootloaders would be safest.

At this point, it looks as if he should start over. Completely start over. With bootloaders. Yes I know the danger involved in flashing bootloaders, but in this state it may be the only choice. Attempting to use jf6 w/out bootloaders could result in another boot loop. Their is the option of using Heimdall to flash kb1, taking out the bootloaders before flashing.

I can't seem to find a Clockwork Recovery install anywhere and was wondering what the progress was in the port? I seen that someone posted they were working on it on the root thread and need to know if any updates on it? I know there are a ton of people that won't go without a slider and seeing as this phone is the only 4g slider right now I figured there would be all kinds of rom support for it. Its unlocked bootloader was the reason i got it along with my fiancee's need for a keyboard. First time i seen any android device without cwr.

samsung stratosphere trouble!!
Hi everyone. I was looking for some help to fix the samsung stratosphere that i tried rooting the other day. I will explain to the best of my knowledge as to what i did and how i got where i am with trying to root my phone and where i believe things went bad. i downloaded heimdall and all the necessary files that i got off of the rootzwiki forum specifically for rooting this phone. I was following the instructions exactly as they are posted. Well i than tried to use a different method within heimdall called heimdall - front end. i tried flashing the kernel from the rootzwiki forum using this method. i loaded the stratosphere.pit and went to the flash menu and checked repartition and reboot phone and clicked flash. Thats where the trouble began,now it seems that my phone is stuck in a bootloop,where it will either go to the screen where it asks if you wanna flash a custom rom or it will go into recovery mode if i try to reboot the phone. When my phone is plugged in, it dont show thats its charging but the power button will work sometimes or i just have to hold the power and volume down button and it will go to the custom rom screen. If anyone could help me figure this out,it would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for any help or advice on my situation.

[Q] Admire Android os

ok so i have a samsung admire from metro pcs CDMA i put cwm v5 on it and i formatted everything cuz it was bricked so now i have a samsung admire with no os cuz i deleted th /system /data and everything else you can think of so now what????

I think what you're going to have to do is use a piece of software called Odin and push the OS onto the phone via USB. Since you can't plug your phone into the computer and just drag and drop a ROM onto the SD card (since you have no OS) this is probably your best bet. Look to see if you can use Odin with your phone.

yeah i can you use odin i dont know were to find the os and i used odin to get clockwork recovery on my phone

Hey, I found this forum for you regarding the samsung admire, it might help they provide the stock rom and rooted rom for your phone aswell as instructions using odin.
