I wanted to root my friends ns4g but my of won't recognize it. He had a galaxy s 2 as well and it was the same issue.
I installed pdanet, Samsung drivers, different USB cords, nothing!
When I plug it in nothing happens, then about 5 mins later, USB not recognized. I manually tried to put the .inf file through the windows 7 wizard and still nothing.
Like I said my ns4g works perfectly fine, when I plug his in nothing works at all. I don't understand this at all. I have a 64bit system and made sure everything was for that. Can anyone help me out?

Can you mount usb in either recovery (if applicable) and android? Have you tried with usb debugging enabled? Also, does it show you no android device is connected in device manager?

help someone please! lol
There was something i read about the fast charge widget messing up the ability of the nexus to properly connect to the computer and a fix. Part of its design is to block USB file transfer when connected to a computer. There were several phones that couldn't connect after loading the widget.
Before i go and waste a bunch of time researching and digging for this. I would like to know if your friend has installed the fastcharge widget on his phone.

lol, no his phone isnt rooted to get the fast charge patch even.
Its soo strange. I plug my phone all good, I plug his NS4G, no detection. It's strange.
Same thing happened when i was trying to root his tmobile gs2. No driver worked.
did you install tbe drivers by booting into bootloader while pluged in?
Sent from my LS670 using XDA
yeah, didnt work. Factory Reset the phone too.
Try a different USB port on PC and pull the battery for a min.

Try drivers from Samsung support page. It took me a bit. But usually the pdanet drivers work. You could try another pc that does not have the drivers for the nexus.

My windows 7 x64 laptop won't recognize my nexus s 4g. I installed the Samsung drivers. And still nothing. My phone is not rooted. Anything else I can do?
Did u install the right drivers? Try to re install them.

tried. didnt work
Make sure you have the right drivers, should work just fine in x64.
Does the usb storage turns on automatically?
nothing happens but charging. no USB Debugging icon, no USB mount icon. just charge. its not the cable because i plugged in a different android phone and it installed the drivers just fine. Device manager shows no changes. No windows "ding" sound when I plug it in either.
this phone is brand new so there shouldnt be anything wrong with it
Download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250583
and unzip it it has drivers for your phone and it should work then.

I have read post on how to root and I can root. But my problem is my nexus will not connect to my computer. I get a unknown device error. Pdanet didn't work and I've tried 2 computers and multiple USB cords. Debug was enabled. I've reset my phone and formatted it and the sdcard. So is there any way of me rooting my device with a apk or without use of a computer? Thanks for your time.
here is a good guide to root http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/
here is easy way to set up sdk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474895
thats the problem. my computers will not recognize my nexus at all. ive tried 3 computers and 3 usb cables. no avail. so im curious to know how i can root my 2.3.7 nexus with a apk such as z4root. i cant get my computer to recognize my phone at all. and my phone doesnt even have the popup to connect via usb.
I hear ur concern but even if there was a apk to root, then ud still be in the same position.... which is no way to connect to any computer.
I had the same issue when I bought my 4G in November. I'll get home soon and give the link I used to get the Samsung drivers so ur computer will recognize ur phone.
For now try this:

I've tried the sdk and pdanet. Didn't work. My phone doesn't even realize its connected to the computer. The Android that pops up usually,doesn't appear in my phone. It just charges. So if there is any app/apk to root my phone please let me know
okay, I found what i used:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19AEbiWYULE
good luck
I just attempted this. My phone doesn't even have the status bar notification saying it's connected via USB. And the computer said "device not recognized" I've read that it is a software problem. Is it a phone hardware/software, computer, or the drivers for my computer?
After u did it, did u try the root program?
Or when did it say not recognized....
I remember not being able to hook up via USB but after I did the above I went straight to root program and it worked so I'm not sure what to tell u
But if ur stock, call ur provider or store and just say u want to hook up to computer for music and pics. They can't deny u that.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
No I didn't try the rooting program. I ran the Samsung drivers and then plugged my phone up and my computer still said USB not recognized. And I am all stock. No root, locked bootloader and everything. I called sprint the other day and they couldn't help me cause I'm not on a contract with them. I just got the sprint ns4g. But ill give them a call again.
Thanks
If u have drivers installed, uninstall them. Reboot ur pc and then reinstall ur drivers manually, then give it a shot

I tried to root my 4g sidekick with superoneclick, it said something I clicked root and it said http://imgur.com/qJHQY I clicked okay, all it did was freeze up and then now when i plug my phone into my computer it doesn't even recognize that its being plugged in. I can't transfer files or anything. I've tried factory restore but that does nothing either. Yes I have the drivers installed, My pc doesn't recognize anythings being plugged into it and neither does the phone. I've tested all my usb ports with other devices and they work just fine.

There was nothing that said Samsung Android but i uninstalled anything that said Android but still nothing, as I said my computers not even realizing i have anything plugged into it. But it recognizes other devices just fine
The phone is still booting? What USB mode do you have it in? It's under Applications in settings, and I believe you need it set to Kies to root it.
I've tried all the USB modes. The computer and phone itself isn't recognizing that it has a usb plugged into it. But yet it will take a charge. This all happened after trying to root the phone. I've never had an issue before.

Yes I had it in USB Debug mode. And Yes 50 bucks lol why interested?
If you don't hear the USB connection sound, there is nothing you can do on the PC side that will fix it. The phone is not acting like a USB device at all. Try plugging it in to the PC while the phone is in recovery mode or download mode.
Why yes i am lol

So today I went to use noxious ninjas root method and started out fine, but after the first reboot someone called my phone and the root procedure stopped working. My phone is working without a problem but when I plug my phone into the computer, the computer won't recognize my phone. The phone just starts charging and won't connect to the computer at all. I've tried different computers and it's the same thing, it won't connect at all, it only charges. I'm pretty much a beginner to all this so any help would be appreciated.

Check settings->developer options --> usb debug should be checked.
Usb debug is checked and so is non market apps. I've tried restarting the phone and deleting/reinstalling the drivers and the program on my computer. It still only charges when I plug it in

I have vista on my desktop and windows 7 on my laptop. I used the desktop to try and root because the samsung drivers wouldn't correctly install on the laptop. I've always used the desktop with Vista and never had a problem.

I think something mess-up in your phone after you rooted. Best way just backup all your apps (not system app), Odin back to stock and see if it's working. If it's then try to re-root again. Make sure everything is working before you restore all your apps.
Did you try rebooting the computer and then plug in back in?

Yea I literally left my Rezound to charge on vista laptop overnight and after I unplugged every time then it would pop up new device found. It was stupid but 07 always worked... do u have Samsung drivers updated on both machines and rebooted then plug

Well it didn't fully root, I'll look into the Odin but ill have to read more into it before I attempt anything.

MTP is the worst protocol ever created. Nothing but problems. You are either rooted or your not. You can download Root Checker on Google Play to.
I have completely lost connection with my computer. It does not detect the phone at all during standard usb to phone connection nor does odin recognize a phone being hooked up. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

Try deleting the Samsung drivers on your computer and let Windows find them for you or switch usb ports or check out your Device manager and see if there are any problems in there... Assuming that you are running windows? Hope this helps...:good:
Options
1.try another computer
2. Dont use a usb hub
3.try a different usb port... stay a way from usb 3.0
4. It might be a bad usb cable
5. Uninstall the driver then reinstall them(install if youb dont have it)

Thanks for the advice guys. I tried a different cable, USB and deleting the drivers. It doesn't detect my phone at all after this.
I'm pretty sure it is an issue with my phone. I plugged my wife's s3 in and instant detection. I'm gonna call vzw and have a replacement sent.
Thanks again for the help.

Be sure debugging is off, or the drivers will not automatically download. Switch back on when you start using Odin
