PROBLEM
---------
I recently bought the Ramos W13 8 inch tablet with Android 4.0.3. I was disappointed to note that it didn't have the Google Play Store on it. After trying to install it with Google Services Framework etc it still didn't seem to run.
Like an idiot I then got a modded firmware of another Ramos model (W6HD) which is a 7 inch and installed it through the UPDATE Mode (vol up and power). It installed and powers up to the android setup screen but is all messed up because of (I assume) the screen size difference. Touch screen doesn't seem to work either now.
Now for some reason I cannot get it to the UPDATE mode using the vol up and power button. When I do that it goes to a screen with an empty battery icon.
It might be that the Ramos W6HD requires a different method to get it into the update mode which is VOL+ and MENU while for my W13 it's VOL+ and POWER. And because the firmware I installed on my W13 is the one of W6HD it requires me to press the VOL+ and MENU but unfortunately my W13 doesn't have MENU button.
I can connect it to my computer through USB but not sure if it is debugging mode. I cannot get to the settings because the touch screen doesn't seem to work but I assume it is already in debugging mode because it gives an option to use USB for storage (in Chinese) once connected.
I've tried ADB once connected through USB but the command "ADB devices" shows no devices.
I'm sure there's a solution to this and I'm willing to pay $35 (Paypal) to anyone who can figure out a working solution.
Thanks,
Dan

So have I totally messed it up? Any way around it?
Thanks

Hm, "adb reboot recovery" should do...
Thanks utak3r but the tablet does load up but I can't controll it using the touchscreen for some reason hence I can't get to settings to put on USB debug mode. I've tried connecting it anyway but the "adb devices" command doesn't come up with any devices.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan
No other suggestions? Is there any software/program I can use that can install the correct firmware (which I already have) without me needing to enable USB debugging?
Thanks
Dan
I'm now giving away $35 (Paypal) to anyone who could provide a working solution.

There is an USB port on your tablet?
I had a similar problem when adb didn't see my device. I found the answer on you tube, it is the path of the adb folder. Once I figured that out I could see my device. So search you tube for adb. Good luck.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
smaury - Yes it has a micro USB port.
cam1pbell - I tried looking on Youtube, tried uninstalling and reinstalling device drivers but no luck. Not sure if the tablet is in debugging mode, I assume it is but it may not be, if it's not I don't have any way of putting it in debugging mode as the touch screen is not functioning.
If you had a "normal" usb port you could connect a mouse or a keyboard to control the tab and change rom through dd command using a terminal emulator!
I just tried installing the PDAnet software and it keeps telling me to connect to the device and turn USB debugging on. So I guess the USB debugging isn't already on.
Hmm...
What about: http://goclever.com/manuals/update_a73_en.pdf Point 2 ?
Does your microphone have special "button" ?
If yes, you can use Livesuit to upgrade your ROM via USB ( I know it is by ZIP in recovery), but you wouldn't know if you don't try You can find many ROM for 8inch- Cortex-A9 Tablets. And of course you can install recovery and try to install official updates
PS: Sorry for my "english" : )
Possible answer
try Droid Explorer ,should work for you
trofmoc - I just tried that, it didn't work, it couldn't recognise my tablet.
Bollero - I have a little reset button on my tablet, don't think it's for upgrading. Where can I download Livesuit from? Also in the PDF it says I need to download a specific Livesuit for my tablet.
http://download.goclever.net/serwis/tab/LiveSuitPack_1.09.zip < livesuit, works with 99% tablets
And this rom:
http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/ice...791.html?sid=57498115339322d167292fdab3f3e45c
Try try try
I downloaded the Custom-ICS_4.0.3-Novo8-psquare_2.0RC1-signed ROM, is that the correct one? If so how do I install it with Livesuit? I tried pressing the little reset button, connecting it to computer with USB and releasing the button but it didn't seem to do anything. Then I tried the procedure with the VOLUME + button and the computer made a connection sound. So it seems to connect that way. Now how install the ROM?

you should first learn what is adb and fastboot, and how to use this commands
i will take a look on the rom privided by bolero and see if i can make you something to work, but this tomorrow
it is bad that you dont have to many info about the tablet
like processor, android version etc.
the sound that you heard can be from 3 things
1. the device is in adb mode, you can check this by using the command adb devices
2. the device is in fastboot mode, you can check this by using the command
fastboot devices
3. the device in is programming mode.
Did you installed the tablet drivers ?
The sound it makes when I press the volume up button and connect it to computer with USB is like 3 quick low sounds (der der der) not the usual sound of USB connection.
I know the basics about adb. Neither adb devices or fastboot devices commands show any devices.
Yes the tablet drivers are installed but in device managr the "Android ADB Interface" and "Android Composite ADB Interface" both have issues and it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Here are the tablet specs:

Well, in case you still don't have (I know you can't install it yet) the official ICS firmware for your Ramos W13
here is the download link:
http://www.ramos.com.cn//download/w13/w13-4.0.3-20120410.rar
Here, the translated site from where I took the download link with installation instructions.
As I understand the translation:
1.download the ROM and extract it to an empty/formatted memory card (a sd TF card.) You probably need to put the contents of the folder you extracted from the rar file onto the sd card not the folder itself.
2.power off the tablet and insert the memory card
3.press and hold the Vol+ and power button until you see something like an upgrade going on.
4.wait until the tablet reboots.
Watch out that it is the Vol+ button. Usually the Vol- button brings your to the download menu where you can install a Kernel or ROM via ODIN or something else.
Of course, if it doesn't work I would try every other possible two button combination.
Here is the rather unhelpful chinese specs pdf: http://www.ramos.com.cn//download/pd/W13_product_description_cn_120202_D.pdf
Some specs from the current english website.
Concerning the drivers, did you make sure whether the usb driver for your tablet is present in the device manager? If there is one but with an error sign, the debugging mode is probably activated but proper drivers are missing.
In that case, maybe USBDeview can be of some use.
At last, maybe you would like to post in this forum as well.
Thanks for that, before this problem, I got the official Ramos W13 firmware and installed it using the VOL+ and POWER, then I accidently installed Ramos W6HD firmware and it all messed up and the VOL+ and POWER combination doesn't work for installing firmware anymore, it just shows an empty battery icon.
I've tried all combinations but no luck.
Android Composite ADB Interface driver are present in Device Manager but show issues and cannot start for some reason. I've tried USBDeview to remove the drivers and install them again but still no luck.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi, does anybody have any idea on how to root this? On their website they have an updater tool which says to get it into recovery you must push power and volume button only there is no volume button.. only physical button is a power button and then there is a reset hole in the back of the tablet. http://www.easypix.eu/smartpad750_en.html
I would like to at least root it and then see if there are any developers for this model.
Thanks.
I found a question from someone who has broken their same model tablet which was rooted, so it is possible.
You can get the proper windows drivers and connect to it through ADB. Using this method you can push clockwork mod touch, and the touch interface should work fine. You might have to use ADB terminals for keypresses as it starts though, I'm not sure how you would boot into recovery without a rom. But once in a rom, you can always select the reboot into recovery option.
do you have any guide for this, Im more just interesting in rooting it to start with. I think I figured out how to get it into some sort of recovery mode but windows wont let me install the recovery mode drivers so I cant do anything
bump
I just rooted it with unlockroot.com , It works for any tablet with the rockchip 2906 (Rk29).

It seems impossible for me, I installed the driver, now in the Windows device-manager you can find a "Class for rockusb devices" and there a "RK29 Device" but adb seems not fo find it.
While I see the device in my Windows device manager I pushed the Root-button from the unlockroot.com - tool, but after it tried to check via ADB there comes a popup "not detected any device ..."
Checking it with Ubuntu-Linux with the lsusb - command, this tablet has NO NAME, I can find the VendorID and the ModelID but after that, there is NOTHING , all other USB-Devices do have a name after its IDs, and trying to check via Davlik Debugging Monitor (ddms) you have to chose the name of your device,
but it is impossible to me, because I cannot chose NOTHING to use NOTHING with ADB ... has anybody an idea, how it may work, or has anybody a working ROM on his Easypix Smartpad EP750 which has root or at least a name ?
Maybe anybody has a working udev - entry for Linux ... pls post it here !!!
Under Windows I am able to flash the device with its own flashing-tool (RKBatchTool) but since now I did not find any ROM which I can flash instead of the original ROM - the latest I downloaded from Easypix-WebSite = 750_20120621 with Android 4.04 but no root-access,
I tried to flash a CM9, but the RKBatchTool told, that was no possible ROM for that device .....

How did u manage to flash through windows? i have one of these tablets that was handed out with some ****ty program that has been installed by a medical company to give out to patients , with a load of information about certain medical conditions, a load of ****e basically, i want to flash the original rom in order to wipe this crap program from it to allow me to use it as a normal tab . I managed to install the driver but cannot get it into any form of recovery mode in order for the device to show in the flashing program . Any help appreciated
hi i was wondering if you could let us no if it worked for you as i have 3 of them with pattern key lock and its saying im putting in the wrong email address which is the correct 1 and i can find any information to help me remove them.
I've had the tablets for a few weeks and would like to root it. It has android 4.2.2 but doesn't have an option to connect to pc as it doesn't have a micro usb port on the tablet. The charging port is proprietary and uses a AC adapter style cord similar to a laptop one so it doesnt have a usb end. Am I just SOL?
UPDATE: see post #8 by groumfi
UPDATE 2: thanks to member Taiz for the info. You can now root using an app found at www.towelroot.com No cable required
I returned mine a long time ago but this is good news regardless

Hello,
Apparently these two pages present two procedures for root any android by the sole procedure that allows currently Slatebook: recovery> apply update from zip (only root, no kernel or rom change):

Thanks for that, mate. Looks like that someone has tried this but it doesn't work.
Alternatively it has been suggested that root access can be gained from the updated file from HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...dlc=en&lc=en&os=4153&product=5400087&sw_lang= but unfortunately I'm not a developer nor technically inclined so I wouldn't know how to extract it. However the file is available from the above link if someone know how to grab and tinker with it.

a few of us are anxiosly waiting for this great tablet to get root access. I think the only way to motivate senior xda developers to buy this tablet would be if Hp drop off the price to $299.

Here is the detail or the official OS that we got with the slatebook 10 x2 :
Android version 4.3
3.4.57-g61ce4c9

Wed Dec 11 00:41:15 CST 2013

4.3-17r20-03-23
Many of us can not connect dirrectly the device to a PC. So it will be better to root it with usb flash drive or a SD Card but an apk like Framaroot would the best. I'm posting this to help anyone trying to make this for all slatebook users. There is still hope people!
Hp still don't give us the ability to purchase a usb wire. The. French clients service said that no wire is available. There is still hope to find other devices with the same kind of proprietary port but the next problem will be to find a device with the same kernel.

How to unlock and root HP SlateBook x2
Hi there,
We finally achieve root on this SlateBook x2. Full story here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402681&page=59
Sum-up
Buy the HP proprietary cable
Unlock bootloader
Boot CWM recovery I built for the SlateBook x2
Push SuperSU thru sideload
Detailed steps
You need to buy the Micro-USB dedicated cable, HP spare part number 728141-001
You can find it at http://www.eetgroup.com/. Frenchies can order it here: http://fr.eetgroup.com/i/728141-001-HP-MICRO-USB-TO-USB-CABLE. The guys are located at St Ouen (93) and it is possible to pick-up the cable at their office to save shipping costs. Even w/o shipping costs I had to pay 57,30 € which is quite expensive for such a cable.
Anyway, once you have the $$$ cable, proceed as follow to root the device:
You'll need adb installed and working onto to your computer. This could be done by installing the full Android SDK or a light version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
Normally, the package should install the naked USB drivers. If this not the case have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386956 and download and install the naked USB drivers
Into your home directory (ie: C:\Users\<username> for Windows or /home/<username> for Linux) you should find a .android directory. Check the adb_usb.ini file within this directory and ensure that content is 0x03F0
Then, enable USB debugging into the Developper options of Android parameters
Once done, connect to the PC with the dedicated cable, wait for a moment for adb drivers to install
Once installed, check that adb can detect the tablet with by entering: adb devices
If it is detected, reboot in bootloader mode: adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader, unplug / plug again the tablet and wait for adb drivers to install. Then unlock the bootloader: fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem unlock. WARNING: this will reset your tablet to factory default and loose all your data
Once bootloader is unlocked, reboot your tablet and perform the initial android setup
Tun USB debugging on again and connect the tablet
Reboot to bootloader: adb reboot bootloader
Boot downloaded recovery: fastboot -i 0x03F0 boot recovery_maya-0.1.img
Wait a couple of seconds for CWM to start on the tablet
On the tablet, select Install zip and then Install zip from sideload
Once sideload is ready, install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip: adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
Wait for install to finish, reboot and enjoy
Notice
For those running Ubuntu flavor Linux, no need to download any drivers (assuming you've installed android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot packages). Just add 0x03F0 to your ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file so that adb will detect the tablet.
I have updated my device to 4.3 to ensure this is working properly. For those who still have 4.2.2, this method will also work as developper Chainfire has implemented 4.3 and olders in SuperSU zip
I did the build of CWM by my own and it is not 100% fully functional (still have issue mounting internal storage). But it is usable enough to install SuperSU zip thru sideload
DO NOT FLASH this version of CWM. I've not tested flashing and it might brick your device
Edit 23-Aug-14 : I flashed it thru Flashify and it boots. I also installed Quick Boot (Reboot) to easily reboot to recovery. Only issue is that it does not mount internal storage, but with external SD, I was able to perform a Nandroid backup-restore operations
Quick question please ref your post
I have received the cable you mentioned (HP 728141-001) and although it connects, the LED on the cable does not illuminate. Does yours light up? Cheers.

No, no lights
Finally received the cable too! Not going to root it now (but thanks for the procedure!).. I really just wanted an ADB connection.
Some notes:
1. You have to connect the cable to the tablet itself not the base (stupid but took me some time to figure this out as I never use it without the base).
2. I can't get the driver to work on Win7 (device not recognized even though I can see the files), but it works on Ubuntu.
3. You do have to edit the usb_adb.ini and *then* connect the cable, normally you should have an authorization on tablet. Don't do "android update adb" as it wipes the ini file.
4. The light does not seem to ever light up, actually I don't even think it's a light, maybe it's just something to show which side goes up...

Well thankx for setting up the guide. Since I'm EU spain I'll try to get a hold on one of those usb cables. Really want root for fps meter and TinyCore I think it's called. It would compliment my gaming on the device very well.
Maybe a stupid questions......
When using this expensive USB cable can you charge the tablet also with it or is it only for USB communication?

No my friend, I don't have important data on the internal 32 gigs, so no problem for me that the factory reset delete all the datas.
I mean that I don't want to "lost" this internal memory which is usefull for install applications (because this internal memory isn't well recognized no ? or I don't have well understood...).

Ah, okay, I see what you see.
No risk to loose the internal memory: it is still there once the tablet is rooted.
Issue I was mentioning about "no way to see internal memory in CWM" meant that when you boot CWM (the recovery), it does not see the internal storage. That the reason why, you have to sideload the SuperSU to flash it.
Then, once rebooted (and rooted), internal storage is visible as usual from Android
I would like to fix it into CWM so that we would them have a 100% usable and flashable CWM. Very useful then for flashing other zip that you should copy to internal storage and/or perform nandroid backups to internal storage.
So, you can safely root your device with the method (just be prepared to have the device reset to factory default due to unlocking bootloader)

Problem with adb_usb.ini
groumfi said:
Hi there,
We finally achieve root on this SlateBook x2. Full story here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402681&page=59
Sum-up
Buy the HP proprietary cable
Unlock bootloader
Boot CWM recovery I built for the SlateBook x2
Push SuperSU thru sideload
Detailed steps
You need to buy the Micro-USB dedicated cable, HP spare part number 728141-001
You can find it at http://www.eetgroup.com/. Frenchies can order it here: http://fr.eetgroup.com/i/728141-001-HP-MICRO-USB-TO-USB-CABLE. The guys are located at St Ouen (93) and it is possible to pick-up the cable at their office to save shipping costs. Even w/o shipping costs I had to pay 57,30 € which is quite expensive for such a cable.
Anyway, once you have the $$$ cable, proceed as follow to root the device:
You'll need adb installed and working onto to your computer. This could be done by installing the full Android SDK or a light version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
Normally, the package should install the naked USB drivers. If this not the case have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386956 and download and install the naked USB drivers
Into your home directory (ie: C:\Users\<username> for Windows or /home/<username> for Linux) you should find a .android directory. Check the adb_usb.ini file within this directory and ensure that content is 0x03F0
Then, enable USB debugging into the Developper options of Android parameters
Once done, connect to the PC with the dedicated cable, wait for a moment for adb drivers to install
Once installed, check that adb can detect the tablet with by entering: adb devices
If it is detected, reboot in bootloader mode: adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader, unplug / plug again the tablet and wait for adb drivers to install. Then unlock the bootloader: fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem unlock. WARNING: this will reset your tablet to factory default and loose all your data
Once bootloader is unlocked, reboot your tablet and perform the initial android setup
Tun USB debugging on again and connect the tablet
Reboot to bootloader: adb reboot bootloader
Boot downloaded recovery: fastboot -i 0x03F0 boot recovery_maya-0.1.img
Wait a couple of seconds for CWM to start on the tablet
On the tablet, select Install zip and then Install zip from sideload
Once sideload is ready, install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip: adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
Wait for install to finish, reboot and enjoy
Notice
For those running Ubuntu flavor Linux, no need to download any drivers (assuming you've installed android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot packages). Just add 0x03F0 to your ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file so that adb will detect the tablet.
I have updated my device to 4.3 to ensure this is working properly. For those who still have 4.2.2, this method will also work as developper Chainfire has implemented 4.3 and olders in SuperSU zip
I did the build of CWM by my own and it is not 100% fully functional (still have issue mounting internal storage). But it is usable enough to install SuperSU zip thru sideload
DO NOT FLASH this version of CWM. I've not tested flashing and it might brick your device

Hello,
Thanks for your work. I'm running on windows 8.1 and can't find adb_usb.ini ... I've only two files adbkey (1 File type and 1 Publisher type).
I've trying to install the minimal_adb_fastboot program on two differents pc but I obtain the same results...
I've a macbook pro but I don't know if it's possible to use it to unlock and root my HP slatebook x2 and how to proceed.
Thanks for your help
Hi all first off I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I'm having a problem unbricking an Asus transformer tf101 B60, I'll start with what's going on or not for that matter. lol
1. Boot to recovery is CWM-Based Recovery v5.5.0.4 roach-tf101-r2
2. will not see sd card / backup-restore= -2014-04-05.02.52.56 / no files found
3. Choose a zip = e: can't open /sdcard/update.zip
4.PC windows 7 pro 64 bit will not see the tablet when plugged into usb getting unrecognized device,force driver still getting yellow ding=device cannot start
if I plug in the usb and turn on the tablet windows does not even see that and unit sits on logo screen. and other screen the cold lynx boot that hangs there.
So in short I'm hitting a brick wall, windows won't see it, it won't see the SD card in recovery mode.
I've read in these posts how to fix this problem and have all the software / firmware you name it, but they all say almost the same thing, windows needs to see the device in order for any of these fixes to work, and thus is my wall I'm hitting.
Any help to find a solution to this problem would be oh so thankful to you all and call you Tablet Gods, this was a tablet given to me as a paper weight and I thought if it boots it can be fixed?
Thanks for your time and God like tablet knowledge.
Cheers.
Install the APX drivers (Universal Naked Drivers) and use the tool "Easyflasher" to flash TWRP recovery (Forget CWM) both from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
You might need to install the APX drivers manually using Device Manager
If you find that the PC still does not see the TF101, you might need a new cable

I booted the unit into recover mode and windows sees unknown device..Ok
Tried to install new naked driver and getting a splash saying not compatible with windows 64 bit, I tried this on a brand new windows 7 pro 32 bit laptop and got the same results. I do have a brand new usb cable for it thinking that the old one was faulty, tried adb again same thing no device found, are there any commands in terminal emulator that can force the driver on the usb port? I'm thinking that if windows sees an unknown device then at least it sees something there just not whats there? Am i wrong in that somehow it's lost the usb firmware connection? so the driver will not install and if forced does not make the connection to the device? So this is my results.
So I'm ready to put gun in mouth over this, my laptops going to divorce me over driver abuse and the tablet mocks me with the frozen Asus logo.
Again Thanks for all the advice and i'll keep slugging it out.As this unit is in perfect condition outside of the Bricked part
You don't need to boot it into recovery mode to start with, just install the drivers normally first with the TF101 connected and booted normally
It's always going to say it can't find the device if the driver isn't installed
Focus on getting that APX driver installed and working, once you have that installed, Im pretty sure it will see the device fine
Asus TF101 B60 Softbrick? What Now?
Hello all.
I've been searching in vain for an answer to my Bricked Asus tf101? I'm just going to get right to the problem.
I can't get the tablet to be seen by windows 7 pro 64bit, Unknown device and yes I've tried everything, except asking if there's a way to force connection through a terminal like I've seen done with a router and a network switch to force a flash file so as to get at least a response after a reboot instead of just the Asus splash screen, here's a summary.
The Good.
1. I can boot to recovery CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 roach-tf101-r2 with menu's
Bad: Does not see sd card only see's internal and there's no file or folder error for backup/restore
2.Boots to screen with 2 icons data wipe and linix cold boot and goes nowhere from there just hangs.
So I'm stuck here, I have all to tools to do the job only if windows would see it, Adb does not see device which means the same thing no driver no fix,
Everywhere I read it says do this and that and it will restore to factory, that would be great if windows saw the thing, so I'm looking for a way to get the tablet to boot to something other than a loop. also tried the put the E101_SDUPDATE.zip in the root of the SD card and restart, does not see the card or file or both so it's not loading the file?
1. windows 7 not seeing device, will not take force drivers, Universal-Nvidia-Asus- MTP
2. recovery does not see sd card, so can't flash new anything?
3. So no communication from SD/USB
4. Is there a terminal command I can use to force a Blob or flash a recovery to the tablet when drivers and USB don't respond?
And to top that off my laptop filed for divorce for driver abuse..lol I'm not giving up.
Thanks to you all,
I want to thank you all for your time and advice it is very much appreciated, and I'll keep slugging away because I know there's a fix out there.
Cheers.
Drivers need to be signed in 64bit windows, use 32bit Win 7 either on another machine or in VMWare or Virtualbox etc
Then the drivers should install

Thanks for the Advice, Is there a thread outlining this so I can give it a try? I do have a new laptop I'm building out with windows 7 Pro 32bit as I've had so much trouble with the 64bit version.
If you're building a 32bit Win 7 laptop, then no need for virtual machines, just use that laptop, this is the Easyflasher thread, you should only need to follow the couple of simple instructions once you have 32bit Win 7 running
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Basically in a nutshell:
1) Plug in TF101 to PC and make sure ADB debugging is enabled in Dev options on TF
2) Drivers will/should fail to install
3) Open Device manager
4) Right click the ! missing driver
5) Update driver > Point to extracted Universal Naked Drivers from Easyflasher thread
6) Drivers should install
7) Leave TF plugged into PC
8) Power TF off
9) Hold Volume Up & Power until the PC sounds the USB connect sound
10) TF is now in APX mode (Nothing on TF screen yet) drivers should install, check Device Manager, if it doesn't install, point it to the extracted Universal drivers folder again until they are installed
11) Follow instructions to use Easyflasher
12) Done

What happens when you try to enter APX mode?
Which OS are you running on the PC?
Do the APX drivers install ?
etc etc etc

You're not going to be able to put the tablet into APX mode till you get the drivers installed correctly.
With the tablet connected to the computer and the tablet on, download the naked driver package. open up device manager and right click on Other Devices - APX and chose update driver. Chose browse and then go to where you downloaded the naked driver package. If it complains that they aren't signed, click install anyway. If successful, you should now be able to put your tablet in APX mode.
Hello Helpers, I shattered my Nexus 4 screen, and the phone has a Pin lock, and is currently in Airplane Mode with BlueTooth enabled. It does Not have USB debugging enabled.
My objective is just to pull out the video, audio, and pictures files, after which I would throw the phone away. I appreciate any feedback, or if someone can help me post a reply to "k.janku1" at the post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395 Please refer to point (4) below.
So is there a way I can enabled USB debugging or pull my files out? Following are what I have done, and none are successful in accessing the phone:
1) I have an OTG cable with a mouse. Nexus 4 would not recognize it. I did try to have this OTG Cable + Mouse plug into another Motorola phone and it worked, just not Nexus 4.
2) I plug my Nexus 4 into the PC through the USB cable, the Windows 10 recognize it but when I try to browse that Nexus 4, no files show up.
3) I installed the Android Studio 2.2.2, with various SDK (5.0 and 5.1 SDK) + Google USB driver. And then proceed to run the ADB "shell" or "devices" command located in folder "platform-tools", and the command line would tell me -- "error: no devices/emulators found", or "List of Devices attached" but with NO list of devices displayed. I even boot into Recovery Mode and the ADB command still not seeing any phone.
4) I even try the post here, and I could not get it working either -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
i) I tried the steps listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66731042&postcount=260 but it does not work for me. The step (2) here returned me "No devices", while step (3) is sort of confusing as it involves TWRP (??) and it said BootLoader would erase all my data files!
ii) Another post here in the same thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62398797#post62398797 which mentions the use of "Flash through ADB". But then my phone does not have USB Debugging enabled, so how can ADB talk to the phone in the 1st place? And compile his codes in Android Studio perhaps?
iii) Another post of same thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61792353#post61792353 which is lengthy and involves self-custom kernel + compile using Kernel Kitchen. Would this really work?
Thanks

I had the same of your situation i search and tried a lot of things even show the phone screen in pc but me too i didn't have usb debugging enabled, so what i did is :
Flash the stock ROM for my phone by Odin (it don't need usb Debugging enabled it is for Samsung phones) and by flashing new ROM all your files will be stay in the internal storage, after that the files will be showed in the PC, i don't know if u try that before so that is my solution

Thank you for the hint. But I doubt if this approach would work for Nexus 4. I searched online for Odin + Samsung, seems like Samsung phone has a Download mode where the phone would accept the new image file put to it. There is no such mode for Nexus 4, so the phone would not read anything in easy steps like Download mode.
Hi there,
unfortunately USB Debugging on the device was not enabled, screen is black after Pixel 1 fell to the floor. Is there any way to backup the data anyway? I did some googling and tried several steps. That's what I tried so far:
- Hit "Power + Vol Down", so I assume I am in Fastboot now
- After that my Windows 10 sees a device in Device manager with these details: It's called "Android" / "Android Bootloader Interface".
Device Type: LeMobile Android Device
Manufactorer: LeMobile
Location: Port_#0001.Hub_#0001
- Downloaded "minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.3_portable" and tried "adb devices", but it says that no devices are found
Might all not make sense, sorry am not that familiar with the topic. My hope is that there is some way to get access to the device and backup data.
Any idea?
Thanks Michi
I'm not sure if this will work, but there are some programs for pc that allows you to cast the screen on the monitor.
In this website, for example, a couple of programs can be launched from pc instead of the phone.
Maybe with this method you can go to developer options and enable debug usb.
Hope you find a way, good luck :good:
Thanks for the answer. I luckily found a way: Organized a 2nd Pixel and copied over data dueing setup via cable . Was a little bit tricky with dark screen to hit the right buttons, but it dis the job. Thanks!!!
