In the middle of backing up my apps on the nexus 7 via the NEXUS 7 TOOLKIT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195)
The toolkit has been stuck on "waiting for adb mode" Apparently it was not recognized. I found instructions to fix that but I dont know how to get out of this backup mode. The nexus 7 screen has the droid laying down so I can't do anything to the nexus. And the toolkit just says "waiting for adb mode"
Please help quick because I'm afraid to do anything to it so I'm leaving it like it is until I find out what to do.
Same problem. Are there no answers for noobs?

Holy cow. I've been on this site for hours trying to figure out if it's safe for me to unplug the USB connection from my Nexus 7 to my PC with the Toolkit 4.0 stuck at
< waiting for device >
'downloading boot.img'...
I am not allowed to post in the developer thread to ask for clarification from people who say they've solved this problem (but don't state what the solution is), and since this is the first thread I've found under "General" where I can actually post, I'm quite disappointed to find out that there are no responses to this poor schlep who posted this last December.
So, in the hopes that threads are now more likely to be seen and responded to than they used to be, I'm crossing my fingers someone can answer. Is it safe for me to disconnect my Nexus 7, or is it really taking hours to download "boot.img"?

For anyone else who has this question, I found there was no damage done to my tablet by unplugging the USB cable and trying the procedure again. The procedure itself should initialize very quickly once a good connection is made between your PC and your tablet. I simply had to unplug my tablet and plug it back in (I used the same USB port, but I understand others have discovered they had to change to a different USB port).

I hate posting on forums asking for help, but I have no other choice. I just bought a Nexus S from a friend. Locked still, he didn't even try to root it or anything. I have been trying for the past few hours, and it just isn't working for me, I can't even get past freaking step one! I installed Android SDK, no problem at all. adb devices found absolutely nothing while the phone was connected. Yes, debugging is checked. I did everything I possibly could, is there a for sure answer/solution to this? I can't do anything if adb can't find my Nexus S, no? I remember it being the same way with my Nexus One, it took a long time to finally get adb to recognize my N1. After that though, the process seems smooth. Looking for help, ASAP! I work a lot of hours during the day and have no other time, and want this baby rooted at least before Friday.
I resolved it. For future reference, because I've seen this question unanswered in the forums from before. Download PDAnet for the PC for the drivers will solve the issue. Windows 7 64bit.
for future reference you should refer to the stickies in the dev forum

Some time in the last 2 or 3 ROM flashes, my usb port has quit communicating. It will charge the phone, but never so much as gives me the usb connected tone on the pc. have tried numerous pcs that have worked in the past, 3 different cables that all have worked before, reinstalled drivers, tried adb, kies, odin, and mass storage to no avail. I have checked and unchecked debugging. Currently running MIUI, but was on phidelt82's EC10 combo rom before that with the same result. Anything I may be missing? I have run out of ideas, and none of what I am finding by searching seems to be helping.

I went to settings then USB settings and changed my option to ask everytime. Now when I plug phone to usb cable the phone screen comes up to select media or mass, I select mass and the computer sees it.
No dice. Not sure what else to try, can't go back to stock, acts as if my usb port is charge only.

Anyone have a package to get me back close to stock with clockwork (cant use Odin obviously) so I can take the phone in for a replacement?.
This is why you should back up your phone before flashing.
Thanks so much for your kind and helpful words. As it stands, I did back it up in Clockwork, but the phone will not read the backup now. At what point did these forums change from a place of information sharing and learning to a troll haven full of "Noob bashers"?
I had those same problems and I could never get my phone to recognize but I found one computer and xp machine that odin saw and I got it to work but my USB still doesnt work on any other pc (Weird). So just keep trying diff computers maybe it my show up
Thanks for the tip, will see what I can come up with

No one is bashing anybody. Maybe you need to change the way you interpret things. If you'd reread your original post, you'll see you never said you made a backup and couldn't restore it. I was making a legitimate point to make sure in the future you made backups. I had no way of knowing you had.
Point is, my comment was legitimate; I was not bashing you, so don't be so quick to interpret things people say in the most negative connotation as possible.
Sorry, add, I too fell victim to your "hard" tone in many of your replies around the forums. I apologize for being quick to the trigger, as I can see where you are coming from in the piles of questions daily from folks who have never even thought to back up before flashing. As it turns out, I gave it a quick bricking, and a replacement with working usb is on the way. Pretty sure it was a hardware issue, as it was working one minute and gone the next with no changes to the phone.
So I lent my brother my nexus s that had cm7 on it. He got into the clockworkmod, went to mounts/storage, and proceeded to format everything (bootloader, boot data, etc. everything in there) he said he thought that would fix the force closes, I figured no biggie, but now I can't even get the phone into download mode and I have no idea what to do, the phone will simply not turn on
wow.... dont even know why he would do that.
rule 1: dont lend people your phone.
and i dont know why you would try and get into download mode, Odin isn't the first thing you want to go to.
1. turn the phone off (if it isnt already)
2. hold volume up + power
... what happens? does bootloader mode pop up?
- plug your phone in your computer's USB
- does the sound for USB plugged in occur?
- does computer detect it?
Can't access fastboot.
Phone sometimes recognizes it and says this device is not recognized and it couldn't install the usb driver, sometimes when i plug it in it does nothing.
Didn't want to lend it to him, had no choice. I told him he should have just fixed the permissions on the phone, but then again he's not exactly android literate.
thats just dumb on his part.. i dont know why he would try and mess with your device. if it has problems, just ask you first.
its probably bricked if you cant access download or bootloader... definitely bricked if the computer is unable to detect it
your only way out of it is to get a replacement
In Device/Drivers of windows under Unspecified there's this:
SEC S5PC110 Test/BD
says drivers are not installed
Anybody out there with a solution?
I think there is more than one driver you can try, though I've never flashed anything in Windows (Linux already comes with the driver ), so I don't know for sure. I think I've seen people mentioned a few drivers before, try search for all the "brick" threads here.
Easiest solution might be to download a Linux live distribution (f.e. ubuntu) and run fastboot from there. No need to install any drivers.
Kicking him in the nuts will probably make you feel better... I don't know if it'll fix your phone though.

Ddi you ever get your phone sorted ? I'm now in the same situation !
Yes, hit up http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=970 For 50 bucks they'll fix your phone and ship it back to you in no time. They got my phone on a Friday, I got it back on either Monday or Tuesday. Of course they're based in Texas and I'm in STL so it could differ for you, but the point is, they're fast, reliable, and professional.
Thanks for that - I'm based in Ireland but I'll give them a shout and see if we can do business......
Thanks a million for the reference PUMA. Please contact me when you are in need of a brick fix. I fix hundreds of Galaxy S / Samsung / HTC variants and several others in a brick of nearly any scenario. I've devoted a lot of time to providing and almost unseen service to people in need versus parting the phone out or trashing it.
I have a Sprint Nexus S 4G that I've recently rendered without service or USB connection as a result of a fastboot accident. I'm currently running ICS 4.0.3 (Dooderbutt-aosp-v-5 build), but have tried restoring multiple backups on CM7 to no avail. Wiping all user data in CWM doesn't fix it either. I have also tried flashing the LC1 radio zip with no results.
The way I see it, my two best courses of action would either be to try and return to a stock ROM so that I can send the device in under warranty or to continue to try to fix it myself, which has been less than successful so far. Every process I have found online to return to stock seems to end in fastboot oem lock, which won't do anything for me as my phone doesn't show up in fastboot devices, file explorer, or seem to be recognized by my computer in either Ubuntu or Win 7. I've tried connecting on my friends' computers with the same results. I've also tried using another USB cable. No dice.
Sorry if I missed something obvious before posting. I tried to do a lot of research online and have reached the end of what I know what to do. Any suggestions?
Bump.
After some more researching, it appears that there is no way to lock the bootloader except through USB connection with a computer. Does this mean I'm out of luck? Any suggestions as to how to solve this issue? Since my first post, I've flashed ICS 4.0.4 with no improvement on the above symptoms. Also, auto-rotation doesn't seem to work. My Baseband version in About is listed as Unknown. Does anyone have any clue? Replies would be greatly appreciated.
have you updated the android drivers on your computer? you wont be able to connect to fastboot without the drivers. you can get it here http://www.junefabrics.com/android/ do the free download(on your computer) then follow the on screen instructions.

I'm running Ubuntu, so from what I understand, I don't need any drivers. Prior to this fiasco, my computer recognized it as a storage device in the file system as well as a device in fastboot. It doesn't come up as either now.
I had a similar problem after I updated to ICS 4.0.3, what version of Ubuntu do you have, and does the device show up when you run lsusb?
Also, have you checked inside the usb connector to see if one of the pins is bent or damaged?
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and no, my Nexus doesn't show up in lsusb or anything else I seem to try. I have checked the pins in the connector of the phone and even bent them around a little bit, but I doubt that's the problem. Since it disappeared immediately after a bad flash, I'm fairly confident this is a software-induced error.
Ok, the only other thing I can think of is a bad kernel or baseband, but since you've tried several different roms, I don't think that's the problem (unless you put on one that's not for your model).
Sorry I can't be more helpful, hope you figure it out!
Thanks for your help anyway. To be clear, each rom has its own kernel and baseband, correct? Are those things I can flash independently of roms like the radio?
Found something, not sure if you've seen it already : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077168
This bit is especially interesting :
"*If your having problems after the radio flash......go to dialer:
Type in *#*#72786#*#*, put your msl in, and let it re-provision"
For the usb not connecting, I had the same problem. After trying every computer in the house, I grabbed a can of compressed air for electronics and blew out my micro usb port on the phone itself. There was a small piece of lint in there that was causing the connection to not be made. It's worth a try.

I'm attempting to try this work around, but I can't seem to find my msl. I've tried putting in an incorrect code and checking alogcat for it as well as the terminal output of getprop. Neither of these give me the number. Sprint mentions using this code for resetting your phone in this tutorial, but I can't for the life of me find the part of their site that shows the msl.
This is exhausting. I really appreciate all your guys' help though. Thanks so much.
Unfortunately, I never figured out how to solve the problem. I took my phone into Sprint the other day and lucked out on the repair technician. He was messing around trying stuff and had a moment of realization when he booted into Clockworkmod. Even though I had voided my warranty, he still let me replace the phone for the $35 fee. I walked out with a brand new Photon 4G. I'm so happy, it's like Christmas in May!
To others who have this problem: sorry, but I don't know what to tell you! Mine was probably bricked. The MSL number didn't connect the phone and neither did anything else I tried. Best of luck to you.
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 ....
