[Q][NS4G] Problem with fastboot and fixing phone.

Hello, I recently decided to root my phone and place Cyanogenmod on it. When I did that I realized my radio was no longer working. In an attempt to just get back to a working phone for the time being I flashed a rom that I believe was just for the Nexus S and not Nexus S 4G. Due to my stupidity I am unable to communicate from the device to my computer using USB. When I attach the device to the computer nothing happens. The device does not even appear in the device manager. I have tried on multiple computers as well. On top of that the rom seems to have put me back into the stock recovery. If anyone could help me figure out just how to get USB working again I would be very appreciative.
I should note that I can still transfer files to the phone using the sd card or via ftp.
Thank you for your time and help.

Change the USB cable?

Yes, forgot to mention that. I have tried 2 cables both of which work on other devices.

What if you hold in the middle of the volume buttons (i.e. both up and down at the same time) and keep holding, then plug in to your usb port? It should come up as download mode. If it will do that you might try using Odin.
Or try a different machine perhaps?

are the drivers the same for the S as the 4g?
do you have clockwork on the phone or have you tried to run recover by holding volume up and power?
just throwing things out.

Hello, I appreciate any and all suggestions and help.
I have Odin downloaded and installed, but the computer can not find the device so Odin can not do what it needs to do. This is even the case in download mode.
In terms of recovery I am on the stock recovery. I was on clockwork but made a small mistake and now am back to stock.
I know if I can just get the computer to see the phone exists I can fix it.

If you can find the full OTA package for NS4G, you can try putting it on the SD card and flash it via stock recovery.
Also another thing worth trying is connecting the phone to an Ubuntu machine and see if it's detected or not.

I have tried looking for the original full OS. I will continue looking, but the different OS thing is a good idea I did not think of. I will attempt that now. Thank you.

I installed Ubuntu and the Android SDK and Ubuntu was unable to see the phone as well. I am going to keep searching for the original firmware to see if that will fix it. Thank you for your help so far, it is greatly appreciated.
I have found the only rom my phone will accept now is
Android 2.3.4/GRJ22/KRKC1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader
Which is for the M200 variant. This apparently the Korean version.

Exactly what he said...
That's because Kies loads the correct drivers for the Infuse.

No need for that..... Just install LATEST version of Samsung Kies and your pc will have the drivers. There are a lot of versions floating around out there and only the newest one has the Infuse drivers.
Once loaded just use super one click again and it should work.
If it's not working, try latest super one click and try again...
And yes, be in debug mode and have it on mass storage device.

Does anyone have a good link to a download, all the ones I find for the newer ones are mirrors to some bs paysites. Also I can't even hook up to kies due to the fact it needs to be in "PC studio" mode I can't find that on my phone also before I would plug in my phone it would say "update firmware(samsung kies)" now its not there and it never updated, is that the problem at all.

Infuse XP Drivers
I have an issue here, my laptop crashed and I lost everything on the drive. I'm trying to find the XP drivers for Infuse. Can someone please point me to a working link for these drivers?
I'm running SuperCM7 on my Infuse and am needing to get BT working so I need to reload it to something different.

Put a micro SD card on ur Xoom.

but theres already a microsd card in there

I can't tell from your video what you have actually done and what error you got.
You said you went to the moto website...what info or files did you get from there? You can recover...are you able to access fastboot? Power the Xoom on by pressing volume up and power--hold until you see the dual core splash screen, then press volume down. Do you see 'starting fastboot protocol?'
If so, you can use adb to recover your Xoom. Just google 'using fastboot for Xoom recovery' and you should find a number of helpful links. You will have to download drivers and sdk files from the moto dev site and you will need your pc and the original usb cable that came with your Xoom.
Good luck, but just know, you can fix it.

ok can you give me a step by step on how to fix my tablet, i really need it for tomorrow.

[Q] Ok Next Step....

So AFTER my ICS Update:I cannot get my laptop to recognize my tf101 B50. I've had several suggestions from members, but nothing has worked. I cannot get Mass Storage Access! And that sux.
SO....is there a way, keeping in mind that I cannot get access to my internal SD ( or external for that matter) to revert my tablet back to an earlier version of ROM so that I can re-root and again load CWM or nvflash?
I don't mind how ICS operates, I just want the access back to my SD's.
IS there any hope to accomplish this? Is this something that ICS can do intentionally to keep user from having access SD and Root?
I hopd someone can help!
Thank you!

Have you reinstalled asus sync and all drivers?

I have tried to. I uninstalled everything I had on this laptop.( asus wise) then tried to reinstall. The install gets all the way to the end, then hangs at the 99% installed mark on the bar. I'm going to try again. Wow does the noobie come out in me!
Thanks
I just did an entire re-install of the Asus Sync.
Still get the same message that device has malfunctioned when I plug my tf101 into my laptop. I am not able to update drivers and asus sync does not detect the device.
Any of this make sense?
Frustrating!
Thanks

Still needing help!!!!!!!!!!!
Is no one else having this issue? I have been searching for a fix for over a week. Does anyone have any advise on this?
Any help please?

You will find no help on this issue. I have had it for some time and there is no solution.

This is common, check out these forums:

It just happens sometimes, not 100 percent sure why, but when I flashed Revolver's ICS rom, I lost the ability to have my device recognized when plugged in.
I have since fixed the problem by installing HD Revolution ICS rom, now my device is recognized just fine.
You should try reflashing your Rom if you'd like to keep your info, or if that doesn't work, make sure you download an app back up utility, back up your stuff, then flash a brand new rom after doing a full wipe of you device.
Should work just fine after that.
Others have found flashing the file located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22964131&postcount=47
worked out.

I appreciate the advice. BUT, If I can't get my transformer to show up as a Mass Storage decive on my PC how can I load these?

You have a removable micro sd card? Take it out of the TF, transfer the needed files to it and put it back in the TF.

I can't boot from the micro sd. I have the files that I need on it. cannot access the external micro SD OR the internal SD. The Tablet is running fine, I just cant gain access to the SD cards. I can't boot into recovery, I can get it in APX mode, but windows 7 or XP won't recognize it. Trying to update the drivers, windows is telling me that the best drivers are already installed.
This doesn't make sense to me. What would have caused this glitch?
Again, I am sorry I updated to ICS.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Sorry, missed the part where you can't access your sd card.

If you are using windows...get a copy of Ubuntu. That's how I did it (not with the TF) when I had problems getting my external storage to be recognized. The easiest would be to use a USB thumb drive so boot into Ubuntu. Ubuntu usually picks up all kinds of devices. Even an HP printer that is nno longer supported by W7 . That's how I print stuff I need.

I loaded Ubuntu onto a jumpdrive and booted it up on my pc. Plugged in my Transformer.
Still no-go on recognizing my TF101. Is here something specific that I am not doing? Should it have picked it up automatically? This is a real head shaker....
Thanks

I have to ask another question. Still nothing as far as Mass Storage/SD recognition of my TF101 B50. Windows 7 doesn't see it, and the Ubuntu I loaded this morning doesn't see it. The problem started after an OTA update.
When I try to boot into recovery, I get the robot with the red triangle and exclamation mark. Am I just SOL on this? is there ANYTHING that has worked for anyone else. This Tf101 worked great before the update.
My pc knows that something is connected, but gives me the UNKOWN DEVICE message in Device Manager, The latest drivers I have from ASUS won't work to update the drivers....I'm all out of ideas. Am I screwed?
Thanks in advance for the help......noob here.

[Q] NS4G Not recognised

Hi all,
I've got a Nexus S 4G CDMA Sprint phone running Stock ICS 4.0.4 IMM76D.
My bootloader is unlocked from previous roots and whatnot.
My problem is that my phone is not being recognized by my computer at all. We're talking complete nonrecognition. No yellow triangle in device manager, no pop-ups, nothing. This phone will just not be read by my computer! I've tried different cords, different computers, re-installation of drivers after resetting my computer, installed PDA net, did a factory reset on the phone, I've literally been on Google for hours upon hours upon hours trying to figure this out and can't figure out why the computer is not recognizing the phone and why the phone is not allowing me to put it into usb mounting. It is however, charging via the computer and wall plug. I can get into stock 3e android recovery, fastboot using V-Up and Power and I can get it into download mode. It is NOT recognized in any modes by the computer nor other computers including my Linux box. The phone states that the usb control initializes but then ends a moment later. I am thinking this is a hardware issue but that leaves me with two issues:
If I was to go to Sprint to have it fixed they would realize my bootloader was unlocked thus voiding the warranty and I'd feel like quite an idiot at the store
If it is hardware related why is the charge working on the device.
I have also tried to bend up the usb plate to make it touch the pins better but that did not help at all. I am at my wits end and really need some help here, I've done everything I could find on Google and here plus more. I want to just return it but with the bootloader unlocked this is really not a possibility. I am looking for help to either become able to lock the bootloader without it having to be connected via the computer so I can then get it fixed if it is hardware related or if I can get the darn thing to be read by the computer once more. so yea, this is where I am at and I would appreciate it so much if someone could help me out, thanks guys!!!

Wireless adb in playstore should help.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA

That would be perfect! Only problem is that it requires root access on the phone which I am unable to obtain because I cannot access the phone. Is there a way to root the phone without having to connect it via the computer? Something like an update.zip with files able to be flashed through android recovery 3e? If I can get root access than wireless adb would be perfect.
*ultimately if I could remove signature checking in Android Recovery 3e that would work so I could in turn try to root the phone and install a different recovery to then try a different rom to see if that in turn fixes the issue.

You might be able to download your rom of choice and rename it update.zip. I'm not sure if it will flash though....someone else chime in if I'm wrong. You can use wireless file transfer if needed.

Yea I've tried that, everything gets shot down by the recovery with a E:Signature Verification Failed. Thank you for your help so far but I don't think this is something that is going to be helped. I've put in a ticket to Samsung for a repair under it's warranty. In the past I've sent in a rooted phone and they've fixed it so I think I'm going to give that a shot. Just don't want to be without a phone for 2+ weeks.

Well good luck...you are running stock unrooted so it shouldn't matter. It is a dev phone for damn sake. Sorry couldn't help.

Well if you want to download a custom rom... Since you are on this forum. Download any rom (preferably CM9 since its quite good from my experience). Flash the stable version and wait till everything is completed. Now when you flash make sure you download a recovery...eg ClockWorkMod Recovery from google market. You should now have a custom rom installed and download wireless adb as chappy said. See if that works
