Hello everyone ! I will try to explain my problem as clear as possible, hope it will be solved.
-Samsung galaxy GTi-9300, this was rooted few months ago.
-It was working fine until I uninstalled touchwiz using Nobloat app. Now, nothing besides SAMSUNG appears in the dark screen. I am not able to do anything or see anything else.
-Being smart, I connected phone with pc and opened kies , but pc/kies do not recoginise the device.
-Then tried to unroot the device, where I failed again.
So, my question is how I can install touchwiz in this case? Or any other soloution ?
ps: (there is no micro SD card in device, no back up etc )
Great thanks in advance !
Was your usb debugging turned on? or do you have a custom recovery like clockworkmod or twrp? then you can install a launcher.

I guess it wasn't turned on and custom recovery you mentioned were not installed. But there was Titanium backup installed, if that helps ??
So if you put the device in download mode, does ODIN recognize it? If so, you should be able to restore to stock from there. Your data may be lost though if you are unable to obtain files from the internal storage.

Every thing was fine while my nexus s istalled CM10.
But after I install CM10.1 M2,I lost my USB connection.
I get the following when the cable is connected: "USB device not recognized".
I tried on different computers and usb cables then got same "USB device not recognized".
After I google that, They said install an app called "USB Switcher". Open it and clicked change to mass storage
and reboot. Then my computer still said "USB device not recognized".
I found the cyanogenmod official forum. There was a man got same proble. I post my story.
but did not get reply.
I thought it may be a bug with MTP transfer mod.
But I did got more information about that.
I thought it may be a bug for CM10 ,but now I intalled CM10 MOD from CM10 M2 TO RC5. Still got same thing.
So I come here for help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

i son't think it's rom related, i had the same issue with others rom, i asked here but nobody answered me... anyway i found that if you pullout battery then go in recovery fix permission and reboot it starts working again... i think it's some kind of error in the file system, propably the best solution would be to format the partition deleting all data on SD... i'm not able to understand what caused this, one thing i did, but i don't know if it's related, was using LAGFIX and trimming system and data... u can try to mount USB from recovery and see if that works, what recovery are you using ???

How to use this Philz Touch recovery?
Hi Kriout, I am unable to access my phone from my computer for about a week now. Earlier it was working fine. I tried resetting the usb ports by uninstalling and re-installing them. only once myphone (Nexus s I9020) is recognized as an unknown device but Windows 7 unable to update the drivers or find them for this device.
If I want to even go back to stock rom ( I am currently using Avatar ROM 4.2.2(android) ) as i am unable to access my phone via computer.
I tried going back to older updates of Avatar Rom to see if its the ROM which might be the issue, but that didn't work either.
I tried mounting the USB/SD via the bootloader but no use.
Can you help me please?

- you should first try to understand if it's a driver problem or a smartphone problem, try to mount USB on other pc
- if they doesn't work you should try to mount it in recovery, use TWRP, an old CWM ( in the last one this function doesn't work) or the philz recovery that u find here http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16784#files, try to fix permission, wipe cache and dalvik and pullout battery alos several time if it doesn't work. i found out that for me pulling out battery entering recovery fixing permission, shut down, pull out battery entering recovery and mounting USB often worked... you can try also using different kernel,
- my idea is that the problem is an error in the SD file system so propably the best solution could be formatting the unity from the smartphone itself. i still didn't do it but i made a good cleanup of all folder, even the system file and system folder, leaving jjust music photo and download...
- if everything works in recovery but not in the rom, it could be a kernel or a rom problem, so first change the kernel, if doesn't work make a clean install of something else ... i'm using MIUI v5 with marmite 8.7bigmem and for now everything started working again ...
Thanks

Here's what i Did. I did install Philz touch recovery. Its very useful. I also installed the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT). Using NRT I launched the USBDeview. Using this i removed all the google related drivers from the system. I then restarted my phone is bootloader mode and restarted my system as well. Now my System was trying to install the nexus S drivers but unfortunately it said that the device in disconnected. But then in bootloader mode i put the phone in Mount USB storage mode and VOILA i was able to see all my files. I did take a quick back up . But still in the normal mode i was not getting the USB Storage prompt. Now i went back to the bootloader and did a factory reset. and then installed the Latest Avatar ROM. and now I am able to access the Phone storage through my computer.
I am not sure if i had deleted some files by mistake or some other issue. And thank for referring the Philz Touch Recovery. Its great.
Now am thinking of installing the Stock ROM for NEXUS S back on to my Phone. Do you think its a good Idea?
Thanks for all the help mate.

i don't think the stock rom is the best rom ... it depends on what you need ... by the way what is your data transfer rate ( into the SD )??? me in recovery get a good speed with a lot of spike, it transfer data at 5 mbs with spike of 15 and sometime go to 0 ... when i mount USB on the rom i get an almost constant 1.5 mbs that is reaaaaaaally slow ... if i test the write speed using the phone it returns me a normal speed...
p.s. when u say u mount USB in bootloader, u mean on recovery ?
I did a really, really dumb thing a few months ago. I flashed a wrong something or another to fix an issue I had with my keyboard crashing after flashing another wrong thing..
Anywho, I couldn't get the damn keyboard to stop crashing for the life of me, so I set out to FORMAT/ CLEAR EVERYTHING ON MY PHONE. Yikes.
At this point, I can boot into recovery(CWM) and DL mode, but my PC will not recognize my phone at all. I installed your S3 toolkit v7.0, hoping it would help, but nay.
I cannot boot fully into Android to allow usb debugging, etc.
I can mount and unmount internal sd, cache, etc, but no drivers are being installed because it is not being recognized.
I've uninstalled Kies, etc.
HALP!HALP!

I'm waiting on my PC to free up again(currently on a Mac). I had not tried Odin because in the past I was unable to mount internal SD, which I understood was keeping it from being recognized. I instead thought the Toolkit would do the trick automatically, though I most likely had the wrong idea. Everything is mountable again (for some odd reason), so I will give it a go.
Could I accomplish downloading drivers and flashing rom to device using Odin alone? Or should I use the Toolkit?
Thanks!

Installing the drivers is independent from using odin. Install the drivers on the PC, fire up odin, connect phone (that has been booted into DL mode) and see if it connects. If it does, just flash a stock image and you are back in business.
You can use this driver http://d-h.st/vMk

Odin is not recognizing the device. Should I unmount or mount anything on the device for this to work properly? I have drivers installed.
Hi,
I've searched and searched, and posted on other forums looking for help. If anyone can help me, I would truly appreciate it.
My mother's phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005) recently updated itself to Android 5.0. This somehow broke the phone, and now it is in a reboot loop. Once the phone starts up, it will reboot itself within a second. I can still run it in "Odin" mode, and in recovery mode. Safe mode doesn't work.
Most people would want advice on how to fix their phone, but I've come to accept that it will need a factory reset/flash. However, I would really like to backup the photos on the internal memory. Is there a way?
I have tried:
1) Deleting the cache;
2) Using Odin tools to load different firmware versions on the phone (4.4.2, other 5.0 versions for different carriers);
3) Safe mode.
Nothing has worked so far. All I want to do is have the phone start up and remain on whilst I plug it into a PC and copy the photos. I'm willing to try anything, so if you have any tips, please share them. If there's anymore technical information I can provide to help, let me know.
Thank you.
If you have installed the TWRP you can try to make a backup and then still via TWRP copy it to the PC by using OTG and TWRP file manager, and then open it

Thanks. I've heard a lot about TWRP but haven't used it yet. The phone isn't rooted but I can hopefully root it and try your method. Can you please elaborate on OTG a bit? Haven't heard of it, but I'll look it up.

Ok, so you can install the TWRP w/o root using odin. The OTG is a specification that allows any device capable of acting as a host (such as a smartphone ) , to communicate with USB devices, and so with OTG you can copy files from your phone to a usb or viceversa. :good:
So I got this free Galaxy Tab 10.1, and tried adding a Custom ROM to help it run better, and be able to run some apps that the old android 3 os couldn't run. As of now, it has CWM v6.0.3.6 installed, as well as a KitKat ROM. This ROM seems to have been corrupted, and now the keyboard constantly stops working (receiving constant pop ups about it) and it no longer will connect to my PC via USB, although it still charges when it is plugged in.
I made a mistake when I was installing this ROM, and my backup stock ROM was never loaded onto the tablet.
My original thought was to use the install from sideload option to get a different ROM onto it, but it doesn't detect even in Recovery mode.
Odin does detect the device, so is there a way to use this utility to fix this problem? Or maybe some other option that I'm not thinking of?
Thanks for the help

Greetings and welcome o assist. If odin detects your device then kies emergency firmware recovery should work, that will return your tablet to its original state. The other option is to flash a different rom through recovery, just download it to your sd card and then flash it
Good Luck

I booted the device into download mode, where it is detected by Odin. Kies can tell that something is connected, but it just continuously tries to connect. The device does not have an sd card slot, so there is no way for me to add a different rom to it.
EDIT: Kies does not detect anything being connected at all if the device is booted normally.

Additional update:
By using the calculator app to copy paste numbers, I've gotten the device connected to my phone's hotspot, along with my laptop. Perhaps there is some way to force a file download over wifi? The device shows up in my network places on my laptop, but the folder is empty.

If you start kies and select emergency firmware recovery it will ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it. Does kies recognise it then?

Hey
I have a nexus 5 which was rooted and lineageOS was already installed (don't remeber which one, i didn(o do the installation).
I wanted to upgrade to lineageOS17.
I had issues when i wanted to install opengapps. I found some messages on the forum to resize the file system.
Then I had other issues and i did different stuffs with my phone.
In the end, I think my phone is totally dead : evrything is erased and I can't have access to the TWRP interface to install an ne rom or to wipe the phone memory
When I turn on my phone, i am in the bootloader mode.
I choose recovery in orderto get to the TWRP interface but it doesn't work. the phones just turned off.
When i plub my phone to the computer i cant' have access to its storage disc.
I still can root the phone with "CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5".
but then I can't do anyhting else.
Is any help possible? or should I just dump my phone?
