HI all, so I've been trying to root my nexus s for about two days now. I have followed directions perfectly from a number of sources. Even tried this superboot thing which supposedly would make it easy and that didn't work. It appears as though my windows 7 labtop can't doesn't see the phone. I've tried installing different drivers including the one from Android SDK, nothing. After a little searching around I found that this is a common issue, yet it doesn't seem anyone has come up with the solution. Is there anyone out there who has found the solution? Surely someone has an answer to this.
Hi,
I just received my phone, and have a couple of total newbie questions. I have never had an android phone, but, have an unlocked android tablet for my daughter. I unlocked it with info from this site. Awesome help!! I couldn`t have done it without you. Needed a new phone, and couldn`t afford the home prices or contracts for the iphones, galaxies, etc, so went for the Jiayu G3. Just started using mine, but and having problem getting windows 7 computer to recognize the device. The screen looks great and so far, it seems nice, but I am not a phone tech. I`m more of a desperate user, willing to learn and try...with direction from someone with experience.
Has anyone else had a problem with this phone being recognized, I guess as a mass storage device, and is there some solution that someone can help me with?
Also, wondering whether or not to unlock the phone, once the first problem is solved. I don`t know too much about the benefit of the unlock in this case. Can someone share info on that? I SAID I`m a newbie, sorry.
Is there any must have software that any of you more experienced users recommend for this phone?
Does ANYONE know where I can find info on it in English, so that I can figure out what I`m pressing?
Seriously....Thank you!

Are you still having problems connecting as mass storage as i just plugged mine into my sons windows 7 pc and it installed drivers straight away. Whe you connect to pc does usb connected not show on screen and a turn on usb storage button not appear. If not then when you plug in the cable swipe down from the top of the phone to see the notification area. One of the notifications should read Connected As USB Storage Touch for other usb options. Now yours might say media device or camera (ptp) just push that button and you should be taked to a screen with 3 choices, usb storage-media device-camera(ptp) select usb storage and if drivers do not start to install pull out cable and plug in again and hit connect as usb staorage and then OK. Hope this helps, I have mine rooted but I would not bother as there is going to be an Jelly Bean update released if you root you won't get the over the air update or might even fail and download and manual update. Phone works great just as it is.
hello all! if you have a problem driver download PDANET install it on the PC and connect your phone. install the drivers it must be!
here is that if some help ....
Hello everyone.
I am having an issue that I cannot seem to find a solution for. I looked at this post and tried the SDIFX from play store with out any luck.

I do not have a rooted phone and would rather not go in that direction yet. I just got the Galaxy S5 from Sprint last week. The problem I am having is that it won't connect to my PC or laptop. It says MTP failed. I have tried every "fix" I found on YouTube and Google. Even though most are not for the S5. I downloaded Kies 3 and then upgraded to their new version with no help. I even had my IT guy login to my PC and try on Friday for several hours with out any success. I am pretty sure the problem is on the computer side as I went to the local Sprint store and they plugged my phone into their computer with out any issues.
Has any one had this problem before?
I am willing to try the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml fix, but not sure if I need a rooted phone or not.
My pc is SSD Win 7 64bit
and the Laptop is XP 32BIT
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi , im new here and really need some advice.
I purchased a Z3 this week and bought it second hand , even though it is new but without box. I found out it has the dreaded demo app installed because i think it was ex-display in a phone shop. Once i plug in the charge it deletes my photos,contacts,apps etc. and comes up with the demo video. Iv'e tried the codes people usually use and done something else using the computer someone suggested ,but nothing works. I was thinking about rooting the phone but after looking on forums i can't seem to find anything to explain how to root it or even if it's possible yet because its a new phone. Iv'e tried to delete the app it has but it just keeps coming back. So need to find someone way that is like rooting the phone to get access to delete it permanently. If anyone can help , would be much appreciated. Thanks:good:
hey guys, we have all been there when a family member hands us a piece of tech and just says fix it.
So anyway got a samsung tab 2 GT-p3110 which looks like its been bricked somehow, wont turn on at all and when connected to a PC will just pop up with USB device not recognised and won't show up in any kind of device list.
Apparently its already been taken to a PC shop and they were told to "download the samsung software, and just recover the data" so my task is to try get some pictures off what seems to be a dead tab 2.
Ive tried having a look around and ended up here, so if anyone could help that would be great
Do you see the charging icon when you charge you device?
If it is then try going to download mode
And flash the official firmware using odin.
