I would like to root using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22311646
However, when I try to connect the xoom to the computer (Vista) it says USB device not recognized. This means I cannot root. Is there another way of rooting that doesn't need pc or better, how do I get the pc to recognise it.
I have a UK Xoom WiFi only OS HC3.2.
Thanks in advance
This may sound crazy, but I was using one good cable with my Xoom and it stopped being recognized. I used the cable from the box and it showed up just fine. I later rebooted the computer and found I could use either cable and it would recognize the Xoom.
So - maybe try another cable. Or reboot the pc.
If that is no good I would start over at the beginning with the PC.
Make sure your xoom is disconnected.
Uninstall any motorola drivers that you can.
Re-download good drivers and install them.
Reconnect the device and see what you get.
Thanks for reply. I have been using the cable that came with the box, but I might have another cable lying around. I,ll try to find it.
Also, how do I uninstall drivers?
Solved...The different cable worked perfectly. now shows up as a portable device and I can copy things to and fro perfectly. thanks for the idea. Do think the link I gave earlier is a good way to root?

It looks like a new method so possibly not
I used the universal root method, helps you to learn it ..
I would agree with the above. I used the ADB method and it was good to learn.

Hi, all
I got a new inspire 4g last week. It was working fine. But now it does not detect the USB connection. It only charges when I connect to pc. No other issues. I have also noticed that during fast boot mode also pc does not detect the phone as a device. I have tried all the suggestion on xda but no luck.
Please help me to solve this issue. I have seen a lot of thread discussing this issue on HTC Desire. They all suggest to format mtd0 in fastboot mode .But during fastboot mode also my phone is not detected by PC (tried both on linux and win7. Other phones are working on the same pc) , So I could not format mtd0 and reconfigure it.
Can anybody have any other idea? If I change the main board how much cost will incur ??
Thanks all.
EDIT:
I have full access to recovery. Currenlty Clockwork mod 5.0.2 is installed . I can install custom rom without any problem.

Thanks for your reply. But there is no issue with driver because my phone does not detect the usb connection as well as the pc also does not detect the phone as a device ( in device manager in windows or in demesg in linux).
Please help..
Edit:
Today I have tested with another Inspire 4g (My friend is having one inspire 4g) with my pc. It is detected by my pc ( both in linux and windows). Fastboot as well as adb worked like charm. But my inspire is not detected by the same PC..
I have the same problem with my Inspire and yet to find the answer. Have tried everything i could find on the internet except a factory reset. If i cant fix it, will trade off for a Galaxy sii i guess.
I had the same issue a while back. Believe it or not, the USB cable just up and flaked out on me. I bought a new cable and it worked fine afterwards. Of course that was my last thing to check, but I had the cable for about 6 months. I travel a lot, so I think wear and tear got the best of it. It's worth checking...
swap usb cables, also canned air to the usb port on the phone wouldnt hurt
This just happened to my inspire as well. Charge is OK, but no more Mass Storage connection. I have tried on multiple computers and multiple cables. I even reset the phone back to stock and it still didn't work. Oh well. I have a Vivid on the way.

ATT ships an HTC data cable. They do not ship a charge only cable. Most likely you just got a bad cable.
I was following (like an idiot) the instructions for the Advanced Ace Hack Toolkit.
I uninstalled the My HTC phone that was listed in mY Device Manager
64 bit Windows 7 Pro.
Now, no matter what drivers I try to browser for, my computer cannot find a driver for 'Android Phone' when searching.
The HTC Drivers 3.0.0.0.7 installer doesn't seem to do anything, and crashes, saying it's not installed correctly.
Has anyone had this happen, and can correct it?

Agreed with Ago, you likely have a bad cable. please dont confuse new users. I would go back to att and get them to replace it.

First, I would like to know what part of following the instructions causes you to be an idiot?
Second, did you uninstall HTC sync?
Third, I would like to know IF you have tried running the installer as an admin OR if when you run the installer, it has the user account control pop-up asking about changes and the computer (or if you have disabled that through user accounts)
(Oh and I used AAHK's same driver installer on my Windows 7 x64 computer without an issue... sooooooooooooo it's likely a local issue, such as needing to verify the download's checksum, disabling antivirus [something about the first line where in the same section as uninstalling drivers], etc)
AND, a tool like at this page might help a litte... http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/view-the-list-of-installed-drivers-the-easy-way/
or if you wanna command line it...
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/wind...t-of-installed-drivers-from-the-command-line/
No joy my end either trying to install that HTCDriver3.0.0.007 on a Wind'ohs 7 x64 Shuttle
In certificates under options for this installer, "This certificate has expired or is not yet valid" Valid from 11/ 01/ 2011 to 17/ 01/ 2012". Can anyone help me to locate a driver that I CAN install to let me unlock a HTC Desire please?
I've tried installing Samsung drivers for my GS2 Skyrocket many times, but it the device drivers never install properly. This, of course, stops me from connecting my phone to the computer and stops me from rooting, etc. So, I'm looking for help on how to fix this. I'm running Windows 7

I have the same problem. The only thing that has worked for me is a different computer. Luckily i have a laptop from work. Don't ask me why but nothing works on my home computer and i have tried every suggestion out there. I have gotten odin to regonize my device however on my home computer and successfully flashed a recovery. I like TWRP the best. Once you have the recovery you're good to go.

It didn't work, unfortunately.
The main issue is that CDC Serial and Android_Samsung don't "install" correctly.
I have trouble connecting my phone to this laptop. It either doesn't connect or ejects while I'm transferring something, but it's fine with my netbook. I suspect it may have something to do between 32-bit (my netbook) and 64-bit (my laptop) operating systems, but I don't know much about it to actually confirm that. It may also be an issue with the stock cable.
If using another computer doesn't work, you may want to try another USB cable. I have a couple other MicroUSB cables lying around that seems to establish a better connection, but I leave important transfers (ROMs, flashing, etc) for my netbook.
What's the error log say?

When I plug my G3 into my computer using the stock cable, the message to plug it into a USB 3.0 port always comes up and the device will only charge. In order to mount it and make changes I need to reinstall the driver software and repeat this every time I restart my computer. I do NOT have the LG PC Suite installed as I didn't find it useful when I could just manually drop things in folders.
Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I'm on Win 7 64 bit

Install the drivers from one of the other posts on how to "root phone" i'll look around and see if i can find the link. That is what worked for me.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try those drivers and see.
***EDIT***
So I tried it with those drivers you linked and same issue happens. After a restart, when I plug in the phone I get a Windows message saying the device can perform faster if you connect it to USB 3.0, which it is by the way.
Try blowing the usb port out with (canned) compressed air (phone and computer).

Didn't work. The phone will mount and I will be able to access internal storage and SD card after reinstalling drivers, without unplugging the phone. After a computer restart it won't connect.
Good try though
***EDIT***
I also tried installing the PC Suite software and that didn't help. Still requires a driver install for the phones data to be readable

Try these. It's just a older version. I am going to say that the problem may be 3.12 drivers(assuming you are installing them) not playing ball with win7 64

Thanks for the reply but it seems these are the same driver that the other person posted. Didn't seem to work :crying:
Funny little tidbit though, if I uninstall drivers and then plug the phone in, it will install the drivers located on the phone and work until I restart it.
Windows isn't liking the drivers. System restore back a before the problem started?

Unfortunately the problem started as soon as I got the phone. Ugh, I'll probably do a reformat at some point since I need to do one anyway.

Mine does the same, I get the message on Win 7 x64 and even when plugged into a USB3 port i still get the message, I just work around it considering the port on the phone only supports 2.0 by default.

Unfortunate to have to do reinstall drivers all the time, but oh well
I had the same problem except my PC would only recognize the G3 on a usb 2.0 port; it never works on any PC on a 3.0 port. Since my laptop only has 3.0 ports, i have to use a 2.0 usb hub between the g3 and the computer and then it works flawlessly. Pain in the but though, wish LG would fix it by now.
Hi guys,
Two weeks ago, I decided to try another rom, as I often do.
I booted into the recovery, formated everything, and got the rom ready on my computer.
However, when I connected the usb cable to the phone, nothing happened. Strange, it had no problems before. Tried another PC and a few other cables (the original one too). Nothing.
The phone only charges but isn't recognized by any computer (it doesn't even show up in the device manager and there is no sound). The drivers are ok, it worked before that.
I also tried an otg cable with the rom on a usb drive and it doesn't see that either.
I thought, "great", my usb port data pins must be dead so I ordered one. I'm so lucky that i got a DOA one. (this one isn't even charging the phone)
So now I'm waiting for a new one or a refund.
Do you know any way to transfer a file/rom to the phone that has no OS (it boots fine in the recovery - twrp) without using a cable?
Thanks
I'm not sure of the finer details but can't you do it via fastboot. Or at least I would imagine you could install stock rom this way. ??? Like I said I'm no expert just a guess.
Good luck.

You cannot use fastboot without a USB connection to a computer.
Maybe there is some dust or dirt in your USB port. Try using some compressed air to blow it out, or try taking a small plastic knife or something similar and scraping it a bit. Once your computer recognizes is, then you can proceed.
It is possible that a windows update or something messed with the drivers. I would uninstall the drivers and start over.

First uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your phone. Get them from Samsung site just to be safe. also try redownloading odin from a different website, could be a bad download. and 'm assuming you have a good USB cable and good USB Ports.
also what model phone are you using? that's in settings--about device--model number

Hi, I'm kinda having the same problem the original poster is having.
My problem is, my windows 7 computers do not see the phone at all, no matter which cable/USB port I use. No beep, no trying to install drivers, no nothing. I'm assuming that unless windows sees the device to begin with... I won't be able to use kies or Odin or heimdall or adb or anything right?

ok, have you checked device manager to see if the phone shows up there? and you're right if it isn't being detected than you can't use it basically lol. I know sucks.
honestly, download the drivers manually and install them. If you're not sure how to check device manager or find the drivers google is you're friend :good: hope you get it working!

Drago, thanks for trying to help me, can't tell you how much I appreciate it bro. Now when it comes to windows, I'm no noob, I actually own a small business going out to people's houses and fixing their computer/WiFi/printer problems. So device manager, yeah I tried "scanning for new hardware" tried and tried, checked and checked, restarted, tried safe mode, tried using different administrator account, nothing. That's when I got this gut sinking feeling, what if something is wrong with the USB port on the phone.
It's a SM-S820L, galaxy core prime. No sound when I plug it in, nothing shows up in 'my computer', no tuh noon sound, and I remember back when the phone was working like normal, I tried to get a picture or two off of it by plugging it in while it was on, I remember it showed up in windows no problem, even without the drivers from Samsung installed. Now nothing happens, even though it says download mode.
I still need your help Drago, don't forget about me

alright well you have one of 3 issues then honestly.
1. phone USB port like you said
2. the PC/laptop USB or..
3.cable or driver issues.
make sure your completly uninstall the phones drivers in device manager while the phone is plugged into the PC. next unplug the phone, restart, reinstall actuall samsung drivers, than try pluggin in again. use a known working USB port also.
sorry I can't give you an answer that's the best I can think of, let me know how it goes!

You can try redownloading Odin and also running Odin as an administrator, that's been the case one in a while. lastly uninstall and reinstalling drivers could help. If this does'nt do it sorry, I'm all out of ideas.
I have same problem with Odin v4.42 and work with Odin3_v3.04,try different version of Odin.
