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 ....

Greetings all.
First off, I have used this forum extensively for work on my droid razr and love the work you all do. Thanks for all the passive advice I have received. I have been trying to root my asus slider SL101 for some time now and have been hung up on the fact that I cannot connect my tablet to my PC. I am running windows 7 on an HP laptop and have tried the following to connect the slider to it. I am running ICS 4.0.3 with build 9.2.1.27 on my tablet. When I plug my usb charger/cord into the laptop from the charger port on the tablet, I get an error message from windows saying the device is unrecognized and has malfunctioned.
1. installed the asus sync desktop software x 3
2. Manually downloaded the usb driver for my tablet from their website and installed
3. Performed a factory reset on the tablet
4. Performed a complete system wipe ( by going into boot menu and pressing volume down, then up up. etc...)
5. Called the Asus support hotline and discussed prior interventions with no success. They recommended if another full system wipe from boot menu didn't help then they would have to have it sent in to look at it.
None of these have solved the problem, so my question is (1) if anybody knows a possible solution that I haven't tried? I have found similar problems on the forums with no success with updating windows media player, installing asus sync, etc... ( as I don't want to send it off for a month minimum because I need this tablet for school), and (2) Is there a way to root the slider without a pc? I have flash drives and online sync for transferring files, I really only need the pc for root. Any help that anybody can give me is GREATLY appreciated. I think I have exhausted all the forums I can find on the SL101 (which is actually quite limited). Thanks in advance!
I rooted my SL101 running Honeycomb and I had no trouble with drivers on Windows 7.
However, I do remember someone saying that PC connection and driver issues might be easier on Ubuntu.
I seem to remember I had trouble with my USB drivers too on my slider. I suggest you google for ADB drivers. I did a quick google and found this, hopefully it works for you.

You may think you'll not need your PC, but if you brick your slider you'll be glad you have PC connectivity, I just came out of a b!t# of a brick with some assistance from really smart (and helpful) people on various forums but I couldn't have done it without ADB.

Hey volan1,
Would you mind telling us how you bricked your Slider and also the steps you took to unbrick it?
The Slider owners are so few in number and with the lack of NvFlash for our device, it really makes it hard to find help and resources to use.
I tried the Ubuntu route with no success yet, thanks for the suggestion though! I am going to try the adb drivers suggested and let you know how it goes! Thanks for all your help guys! And I agree, the SL101 group is very small! Any targeted forums or sites for ROMs or help that you know of would be a great help!

Well, I tried all the driver tricks and ubuntu and about everything else I can find to try to get my Sl101 to connect to my laptop... I called ASUS again with (surprise surprise) no help. I can use the usb sync/charge cable to charge the tablet from the wall, but no usb at all. So, I guess I will be sending it in to ASUS to be looked at. Thanks for all of your suggestions all!

Sorry to hear you couldn't get it worked out. Hopefully Asus treats you well.

Thanks! But, you aren't going to believe this (because I really don't), but I had the tablet and original box all together and ready to ship out this afternoon to ASUS when I ran across a factory charger and usb cable at Office Depot. I decided "what the hell" may as well try a different cable, since it is literally the only thing I haven't changed or replaced trying to get this to work.... and it worked... I purchased the exact same Asus brand cable that I already have from original purchase and still works in all other applications, but for some reason this new cable works for usb interface with my computer where the other did not.... omg so much time/effort wasted!! I'm still having trouble with asus sync, but it is no worry as my laptop recognizes the tablet and I can browse files, etc... Thanks for all the help!
P.S. Anybody know of a good SL101 rom forum? Theres some transformer forums and here, just curious to see where everyone goes for this device Also, what's your favorite ROM with cornerstone?

Well, I'd say XDA is still the best place to go for ROMs and support. At least for ICS ROMs, there's the keyboard compatibility pack for us to use with the TF101 ROMs.

I would agree. XDA is the "bible" of information the vast majority of the time. However, I have found pockets of devs on some niche websites. I am going to work on a compatibility pack for the newer JB roms and SL101 from TF101 builds.
Hello guys awesome forum BTW,
I have different android phones mostly Samsung xcovers and samung aces. They have software installed on them by a company. I want transfer the software on to another android device. I would ask the company but they want to charge me an arm and a leg per device and I have many devices. I've opened up both thinking they've inserted their own USB port to stop the phone connecting to a PC thus stopping any one going in to the device but this doesn't look like its been done. The other thing I think may have happened is the program has been flashed on! I can't access the phone apart from this app/software which pre-loads. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch

May be your USB cable is broken? Did you tried to use another cable?

For data transfer purposes, I suggest Total commander + ADB plugin. You can access any file on both phone and transfer data conveniently.

I pretty sure its not the cable; I use standard USB cables unless I need specific specialist data cables, I'm pretty sure this isn't the problem.

Thanks for the advice on software for data transfer!
The problem is the phones will not connect or be recognised by any PC! Other phones that don't have this pre-loaded software on connect with no problem.

You might try to root the movile phone

Sure, but how can I route if I cant connect to a computer or download any file on to the phone?!
I have a HTC M7 which won't connect to Moborobo. I have two other phones that do. The M7 keeps coming up with a screen that tells me to put it into usb debug mode but it already is. The phone is rooted and unlocked. I thought this maybe the problem so I was going to relock the phone but read that I can clear everything and possibly even brick the phone, hence why I am now running it past the people here. I just want to transfer all my contacts, sms, data, photos etc to my new phone as well as perform backups, and I have found this program to be awsome in doing that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Wayne
Surely someone has thoughts on why I can't communicate with my phone. I don't believe this is an issue with connecting to mobo. I believe it is something to do with the phone being rooted and not having the right setup.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Hello! REALLY hoping I can find some help here! Tried everything! Really!
So the story is like so, I decided I wanted to root my phone and customize it a bit since I've previously owned an jailbroken iphone and really liked how I could change ANYTHING. BUT! I did not get far. My computer can not find my phone. Never connected my phone to my computer for other reasons than to charge, which still works, so never really noticed it. But yeah, charging works but other than that, nada. My phone model is the L29 version. 4gb ram etc.
Checklist:
Yes phone is unlocked.
Yes phone has usb debug on.
Yes phone is on MTP mode, yes I did enable/disable that tons of times since I heard it can help.
Yes I got the allow hisuite ADB or whatever it is called enabled.
Yes the phone does charge perfectly so there is some connection.
Yes I have installed all drivers, including hisuite. MTP packs, android studio with all extras.
Yes I have tried installing legacy hardware for multiple different MTP and android usb drivers.
What could it be?! I am going nuts by now, I don't even care that much about rooting anymore I just want the usb part to be working. (although yes I do still wanna root, will probably need more help then too).
Really thankful if anyone takes their time to help.
Best Regards, Dennis.
No one? Please.

do you tried with another PC or laptop?
Yes, I did. I'm 100% it's a software problem. I can't boot to fastboot as well.
did you solve it?
Hey guys first of all thank you for clicking on this, I have not been active in long while since life has been happening but I have an issue and I have no idea where else to ask since you guys are the savviest people I know on the internet. I have a Sony camera (DSC-H300) and its an okay camera its got regular batteries (bought rechargeable) and I have no way of connecting it to a computer. My question is, is there any software that would allow me to connect it to the computer and extract the firmware to first of all look at it, Ive got no experience adjusting or modifying firmware but perhaps if the starts align ill be able to do something to allow it to stream to my computer when connected via USB or maybe a program that knows how to tap in OR is the hardware not all there to let me do that. I am planning to launch a youtube channel and having a camera with a preview on my screen on the computer and it storing directly to the computer would really speed things up. I know its a one in a million chance but I just think its silly for it not to be an option since, after all it is a camera. I appreciate all suggestions just dont tell me to buy something new because thats clearly not an option, Thanks!

Hi there,
Since that's a camera I don't think you'll get many answers on XDA (it can happen but that is related to your luck)
I would advice you to go on a specialised forum or some other websites that will be more likely to learn you something regarding cameras .
Have a great day
