My buddy was making a custom app and when i plug my nexus s running ics it recognizes the phone as a usb storage drive but it will not come up on his computer to test run the app. The only thing i can do is open the files of the phone to see whats inside. Can anyone help me with this problem?
I don't think we understand what exactly is happening. You'll have to explain it better.
basically the android sdk will not read my phone and it does not come up as one of the options.
I'm sorry but I'm not able to troubleshoot this with you with the info you provided.
Which phone do you have? What ROM? Which recovery version? Do you have proper drivers installed? Windows/Mac/Linux?
And what does your friend's app has to do with any of that and which app are you talking about?

So I just got the latest version of CM7 for my Droid 2 Global and apart from all of the awesomeness there seems to be a fairly big problem: my pc will not recognize my phone being connected. It used to work (I used it to unbrick my phone, flash CM, root my phone, unroot it because GB raped my root, and I just used it to charge my phone on a daily basis). I've looked for this issue everywhere, and I either can't find somebody that has the same issue, or the way they resolved it doesn't work for me. What's interesting though is that if I plug in my phone then reboot it, my pc recognizes it... But if I unplug it, my pc won't recognize it if I plug it back in again. Hopefully this is simple enough that I can solve it (with anybodies gracious help of course) but not too simple that I feel stupid (even though I know almost nothing about what I'm actually doing).
Any helps and/or flame is greatly appreciated.
You probably would have much more luck solving this problem by heading to the forums where people actually work on this CM7 port.

I don't know about the above advice, but,
I do know that I have read many many posts where the problem was resolved by getting the most recent drivers for your device. Unfortunately, I don't have a link to these to post, and I am not sure this will solve your problems but...

Could you be a little more specific? I've got the latest version of the google USB drivers installed available on the Android SDK tools.

It's not a problem with the latest drivers. It works fine when the phone is connected to the computer and then the phone is restarted. When it comes back up it is recognized perfectly fine. It's definitely something wrong in the build.
No matter what I do, I cannot get the LG Support Tool to recognize my phone being plugged into the PC. I'm trying to do the new baseband install.
Running Win7 x86, already have the necessary files installed, getting to the last portion of the update, where LG support has to boot up, and it keeps telling me to install the driver.
I've downloaded the driver from the LG site, I already have the Nvidia driver installed on this PC. I plug in my phone and i see the P999 in the Device section of Manage Computer, has an exclamation point next to it so I search for driver automatically, no luck.
I don't know what the issue is.
dont do it automatically do it manually... and next time just post this in a thread already pertaining to this kind of stuff, less clutter the better.

I've tried it manually, but no LG USB driver i've installed gives me a folder, it always is an EXE file.
Screw it, was reading that the phone needs a valid T-Mobile sim card. But my IMEI is blocked....sooooo this wont work for me.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
watch a video on how to install it, I believe it is as easy as putting the folders in a dedicated folder (i have mine in a folder named "android") and just directing the files to the apx folder... not any .exe extensions
Are you currently running an ICS rom? I had the same issue but I flashed a rooted stock rom then I was able to get the LG tool to work. Might try that. Good luck.
The problem is that the USB driver is not recognized on my PC.

I understood exactly what you meant. I had the same problem. The LG driver did not recognize my phone when I was running the Hellfire sandwich rom. The software did not detect that my phone was connected. I was beating my head on the desk trying to figure it out. Then I decided I would try restoring to a stock rom and try to pull the update. Restored to stock and no OTA update avail. So I went back to the LG software and it recognized it on stock. Still had CWM installed. All I had done was use the stock nand restore from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 If you need the file let me know and I will host it for you for a faster download.

Alright well thanks.
Hey Guys
I tried searching and saw a few people with my issue but no real solution. I just got a One S coming from Sprint (Evo4g) and enjoy the One S except for the no SD card thing. I have no issue connecting my phone to my windows 7 machine as a disk drive, but I have 2 computers at work with XP and both do not recognize my phone. I get a "USB device not recognized" message on my taskbar and when I click it, there is no driver installed for my phone. Same thing with both XP machines. OK, so I search the internet for an HTC USB driver, cant find one ANYWHERE, a few sites that seemed to have had them have removed them. HTC website is missing the One S support page entirely right now, awesome. So after I clicked around while I eventually found a link for HTC Sync software and tried installing that. Still no driver was installed and cannot connect that way either. At a loss here, any advice? If so does anyone have any links for actual things to install that can fix this issue?
Feel like a newb here but coming from the EVO i am very familiar with rooting, installing ROMs etc so find it hard to believe this is so difficult.
Thanks!
David

Maybe no one uses XP when there is nothing wrong with Windows 7 but if you rooted already you use Flash Image GUI for flashing boot.img then you wont need a PC to install a rom.
Good morning everyone.
First of all I want to apologize for my english, that I'm afraid it's very poor.
My question goes next: I bought an used Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7'' p3100 3G and it has a very big problem. It can't be connected to any pc, windows or mac. It's not a drivers' problem, so when the device is connected, the pc does nothing. Not even a display in the device manager, or a noise. However, it usually charges. I say usually because sometimes the icon battery shows a red ray, but it charges spending more time. That's all. It has been proved with three different original cables in several computers running different SO.
I don't know if it's a connector problem or it's a Rom one. It has an operator locked SO with Android 4.0.4 that not even shows the OTA update option in the menu. And I cannot select the way I want to be connected by usb in the "Storage" options.
The fact is I cannot update the device and I cannot root it in order to install a better rom or an original stock one.
I've googled all I can do to find a way for rooting the device, but all the roads drive me to the same point: Odin. The software I cannot use because my device can't be connected to any Pc.
I know this forum is my last chance. There are some ways like z4root or framaroot that work in another devices (Galaxy S for example, I think), but they have not been ported to my device. I think my chances are to make it by an apk o perhaps flashing a signed file from the original recovery.
I just need to install a simple clockword mod or having the device temporary rooted to install and run the Odin's apk that allows me to install a pre-rooted rom, an open recovery... Just a simple step for one man, But the Colorado's Canyon for me in my situation.
If someone of you know any solution or want to help me, I'll be truly grateful. And I didn't even mind to pay him for his help.
Thank you very much in advance.

Have you manually installed the drivers? If not, download the samsung drivers, install and try again. Read through the link below to find the drivers.

Unfortunately yes. I've tried with several versions of Kies, by installing manually the drivers and it doesn't work. The fact is I connect the device and the pc does nothing. Not even the device manager shows a new device or is alterated in some way. It's like one data pin in the connector was damaged or the rom was corrupted and it doesn't let the device be recognized.
I think my only chance is to make everything inside the device. By sd in the boot manager or with an apk. If not, I'm condemned to an obsolete device that could not even be updated.
Thanks for trying to help me.

This may sound absurd, but try a different version of the drivers. I had to install like a dozen drivers before it worked

I agree. The drivers can be so touchy. I'd uninstall and reinstall drivers numerous times before giving up. Good luck!

your cable is faulty. Get another one on ebay cheap.
I'm afraid I've tried with three different cables, as I said (one of them original from Samsung and new), two Windows Pc's, one mac and about fifteen different drivers.
Believe me: I've rooted with no problem more than twenty different devices (and jailbreaked another ones ) and this is the first time I cannot make it.
Think it's a hardware problem or a corrupted rom one. In both cases I have to root it by an apk or a flash from the sd.
Anyway, I appreciate very much your help, boys.

I'm in a similar situation with a Galaxy Tab 2 p3113tsyxar
It is not recognized by any computer, and my next step is to try another cord manana. Until then (hopefully) I've got a nice paperweight.
You have not rooted ur tab till now......so u have not played with your firmwares! So its better to visit a samsung store. If you have warranty then they will do it in free.(And your android will also get updated!)
If I helped you, just press thanks!
Hi to all of you.I got given an old samsung galaxy s4 mini(GT-I9192)and the person who gave it said it was broken if you can fix it you can keep/sell it.I tried opening it but it didnt respond to any keys even when i tried download/recovery/power on.As i researched online it seems to me that the device has been hardbricked.The guy who gave it to me said he had sent it to a store to repair and said that his cpu was not functioning anymore for both of his s4 minis which doesnt seem to happen just for the 2 phones that 1 person buys and because i live in Albania services arents so great.When i tried to install a custom rom from odin(latest to this date)it wouldnt recognise it but when i plugged the phone in windows made tge sound that something was plugged in and then shortly after it made the disconnecting sound whoch gives me a reason to think that the device may still be alive.I came here since this is the most know site for tech stuff.I havent seen any kind of bricking before but i read tgat the soft bricked devices just need a clean install and to wipe cache and dalvik which gives it the look when it was bought.Ive seen that you can pay for jtag or try a usb jig but i dont want to spend any money since i have a better phone (galaxy j5 2017) and i just wanted to see if i could use it to experiment with roms root and stuff on there.
Any help will be appriciated and if i have any mistakes in my languagee im sorry because as i said im from Albania and not USA/UK

Download and install the full set of USB drivers for Samsung phones. This might be part of your connection/disconnection issue.
https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
On your Windows system, go to Control Panel>Device Manager, then connect your device, when you connect it, watch the Device Manager window, if your device connects, it should have something appear on your list of devices. Try to see what the list shows when the device connects, even if it still just a momentary connection, then come back here and post what it says. This will give me a better idea of what is going on with the device.
If what your friend told you about the CPU's being bad is true, you won't be able to fix the device(s) unless you replace the motherboard(s).
Some Samsung devices with locked bootloaders also have a hardware component called a Q-fuse, if someone attempts to flash a custom recovery or anything else custom on the device, it trips Q-fuse which then "burns" the fuse, rendering the device inoperably hardbricked. This is probably what was attempted on the devices you have. If this is what happened, you won't be able to fix it, not even Samsung themselves can fix this, all they can do is salvage the device to reclaim any possible usable hardware components.

Thanks for the reply.First things to start,my friend doesnt mess up with loading custom roms as he doesnt have much knowledge on technology.Next,when i connected the device the first time it showed me the name QSHUSB_DLOAD(or smth like that because i am not avaible to use the computer right now).I tried installing some drivers and i will edit the name that i got when i use the computer in a matter of a hour or two.

Everything you're describing is exactly the results one gets when someone tries to flash something custom via Odin, or when trying to update the device via Odin but the wrong firmware is flashed.
Generally, the only to fix this is to send the device to a professional shop to have a JTAG service performed on the device(s) or replace the motherboard.
From what you describe, I believe the devices are permanently hardbricked, the only solution then is to replace the motherboard. Other than that, you're wasting your time.

Well feom what i know he doesnt know anything about odin or flashing a new rom since he doesnt even know what a rom is.Then again he hasnt done a factory reset since he doesnt know how.And he has even said that hasnt done anything else than getting it out of the box putting a sim card and just using it.If there is anything we can try to bring it to life by trying to flash a new custom rom or the original rom from an sd card or a usb flash drive(since i have the converter from charging port to usb).Anyways i was just trying to see if i could bring it to life and idk maybe give it to someone else or sell it.
Thanks for your help for the tips you have given me amd for the help that you may give in advance

If you can find a "debrick.img" or "unbrick.img",(sometimes, these files are debrick.bin or unbrick.bin), there is a method that involves burning the .img or .bin file on an sdcard to create a type of "bootable disk" to restore the device. The only way to get a copy of this file is from a rooted device with the same model number as yours, try to find one that someone has already creates and made available or try finding someone in this forum that has a device like yours with the same model number and then have them pull a copy of debrick.img from their device and upload it for you to download and use for your device.
Here is a thread for doing this on a galaxy S3, if you can find the specific debrick file for your exact model number, you can try this method. Use the method and the tools as described in the thread, you just need to make sure that any device specific files used in the method are those files for your specific model number.

Ok so first,if i do it on a usb will it work and will it be able to be used again as normal and the same for the sd card,will it be able to be used again?
Edit:I forgot but is there a limit to the usb or sdcard size that i will use?And is it possible if i get another samsung phone os or the debrick.img?

Use an sdcard, the thread that I linked has instructions for returning the sdcard to normal usage after you're done getting the device restored. No, you can not use a debrick.img or any other file from a device with a different model number, it has to be for YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL NUMBER I have told you that in every one of my replies here, that is a MUST, it is not "optional".
Stop looking for shortcuts, I know it isn't easy to find what you need but there are no substitutes, do it the right way or don't do it at all.
