Here's the rundown on what happened:
1. Flashed SlimKat after using Cyanogen11 for a while.
2. The phone softbricked when I installed slim gapps.
3. I was dumb and was doing this on relatively low battery, so I couldn't use fastboot to reflash.
4. I built a motorola factory cable and reflashed InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml (ATT 4.0.4) via RSD and fastboot.
5. RSD works just fine, but instead of getting to the "Finished" step, it always says "manually power on phone" when the phone is already on the welcome screen. I suspect this is because the computer won't recognize the phone and therefore RSD doesn't know that it has a phone connected to it.
6. The phone charges from the computer, but does not recognize data connection. Says "USB not recognized" on my computer when I reboot phone.
Here's what I've tried:
1. Uninstalled/Reinstalled all motorola drivers on my computer
2. Reflashed using RSD
3. Turned on USB debugging
4. Tried all 3 USB modes under Storage->USB Connection Type
5. Tried 3 different usb cables as well as different usb ports on my computer, to no avail.
I'm stuck. Help please.

Yeah, it works fine. It has stock 4.0.4 and is not rooted.
I'd like to be able to root and go back to CM11, but don't know how to do that if I can't connect to PC.
Google which "one-click root" app works for it. I think framaroot works but don't quote me on that. There is always a work around for that

I normally use one click root to root, but it doesn't work unless the computer recognizes there is a phone connected to it, which mine does not.
Try framaroot. Its an app

Since your fastboot still works fine., you can try this fastboot method to gain root

I'm quite confused with this one. Here's what's happened so far.
I was on AOKP Build 31 with CWM touch 5.8.2.1 and decided I want to go back to stock and start fresh. I found a mostly stock 9.2.1.17 from a thread in XDA titled "[ROM] TF101 Rooted Stock 9.2.1.17 + bootloader + modded recovery US and WW" (sorry, can't post links). I downloaded, checked the MD5, made a nandroid, wiped data/cache/Dalvik and installed the ROM. After doing that, I have been unable to get my device to connect to any computer via USB. I tried restoring my backup and also re-flashing a fresh copy of AOKP Build 31. I am able, however, to connect via ADB using TCP/IP. When I plug the device into my Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit I don't get any sort of notification or sound. When I plug the device into my Ubuntu 11.10, 64 bit I also don't have a connection showing up using the 'sudo lsusb' command. The strangest thing is that when I plug the device in the screen turns on, so clearly the USB cable is not the cause. I've tried two different Win. 7 computers, my Ubuntu box and a Fedora box (and multiple USB ports on each computer). Any suggestions?
Try this, Settings> Storage> hit the 3 dots sign at top right corner, hit USB computer connection,
Un check the MTP box and check it again. If that don't work try turning off USB debugging

Tried that on one of the Win. 7 boxes and the Ubuntu box, no success.
Have you tried reinstalling the drivers? I had to do that when I went from stock to custom rom.
This happens a lot. Something to do with the bootloader not getting flashed properly or something.
Get the full ICS ROM from Asus website and flash it.

You can root it (rather painfully and obscurely) by using an update.zip with the version of the firmware Razorclaw needs to work, and root in tablet and then flash in tablet. Downgrading to the required honeycomb might fix the usb too. I've never had to use ADB to do anything on my tf, aside from developing

Hey guys, I'm trying to unlock my nexus s 9020a and this is my first time doing this. I'm following this guide here
http://dottech.org/android/root-android/25412/how-to-root-nexus-s/
says it's up to date with jelly bean which is the OS i'm on. I downloaded the drivers and installed ADB and fastboot, but when I got into fastboot mode and connect my nexus s to the computer via USB, the first time i did it; it failed to install the drivers and now when i try to plug it in again, it won't do anything. windows wont even tell me that it's trying to install it again. Kinda stuck and would appreciate any help you guys might have
Try connecting your phone to your computer before booting into the fast boot menu.

I have an Indian Atrix 2 running the official OTA ICS 4.0.4
I haven't rooted the phone before it updated and was trying to do it now using the files and instructions from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742879
I've done all the basics:
-Checked that USB Debugging was on
-Checked that Unknown Application Sources were allowed
-Made sure I had the latest drivers
However the root batch file only says that the "daemon started successfully" but nothing happens after...
I've attached a couple of screenshots
Also I noticed that after connecting my phone to the computer and running the command 'adb devices' my phone doesn't show up in the devices list, this probably has something to do with it, but I don't know what or how to rectify it.
Try different cable or computer usb port.
I've yet to successfully root mine as will but i would also suggest running as administrator

tried both suggestions, unfortunately to no avail.
How about reinstalling adb??
If nothing works i would suggest doing a factory reset and trying again.

I rooted it using the attached RazrRoot file. I saw it somewhere on XDA but I am unable to find that thread. So I am uploading it again.
All the credits goes to original developer. I am just uploading it again.
For me, there was no problem in rooting the device. I rooted it as soon as I updated to ICS. So good luck to you all.

check your connection mode
When you connect the phone using the USB cable, what mode is activated? Try selecting mass storage mode and then run the root script. (Other modes like MTP etc won't work I think)
Also try reinstalling the drivers before trying this out.

It does take time to move ahead from daemon started successfully.. and ur phone will reboot twice after the darmon starts.

If u see the screen shot i have attached in a reply above u will see that it goes till the end without rooting the phone
download the razr root file and try again, maybe some problem with the download. im sorry cant help you with anything else.. maybe a hard reset should do it.
try following this again,
download the moto driver
Moto Drivers
download the razr root from here again, this is the one i used
Razr root 4.0.4
Connect phone in MTP mode
USB debugging enabled
Right click on the root.bat file and Run as administrator..
This is how ive rooted, twice, and also one of my friend.. the difference is that im on the latest leak, 672.1.18.en.03 ( but thisis also the OTA for AsiaRetail MB865) So this Should probably work.. If not maybe research some more and if nothing helps maybe a hard reset is your last option..
See if this helps
Firstly I don't know since you already attempted a root method which didn't work out yet how & up to what extent it alters your phone though not rooted. If your phone is working I feel the first step now would be for you to do a factory reset assuming you are on ICS OTA (OTA remember & nothing else) & I am repeating one of my post for what's it worth to you cause it was successful for me, so here it is :
Here's what I did :
1) Installed the latest USB drivers (in my case Motocast) from Moto site.
2) As a double check executed the Motorola Device Manager program (basically the USB drivers) again from the Moto site (which gives option of repair or uninstall & I selected repair since I initiated the install process) atop the prior installation of the Motocast.
3) Cold boot the computer (shutdown & then restart & not just restart {being paranoid })
4) On phone ensure screen timeout to never, screen always on while charging, usb debug on, allow non market apps install check then plug in to back port and when the Moto USB transfer GUI pops up, right click the icon @ system tray & check do nothing when phone is plugged in. Unplug phone
5) Once again cold restart phone & computer
6) After phone restarts killed all google processes manually, disabled anti virus, vpn's & other non critical apps
6) Once rebooted both devices, selected MTP mode, plug in phone & click on Jim's root file
7) Root - Cut thru like hot knife thru butter
One most important point was since I was absolutely bone stock I did not do factory reset before plugging in phone and in case if any kind of tinkering has been done ensure factory reset to make sure you go absolutely bone stock & then follow above steps. Hope this helps.
Post your final update. Good Luck!
I connect my tablet to my two laptops, one is win 8.1 and the other osx, neither shows any sign of knowing the tablet is connected at all.
it does not prompt me to instal any drivers, i dont see it in device manager though i could be missing it. definitely doesnt show up in file explorer as a drive. have tried switching from mtp to ptp and back again. I have no dea. The same cable when connected to the charger works fine, but no sign of life on a computer.
I'm trying to root it and get CM10 on there but this is stopping me in my tracks.
edit: i also just tried an older windows xp computer, no luck their either.

You don't need to root it to install a custom ROM, you need to unlock the bootloader.

I wouldn't start installing custom anything without working fastboot and adb access.
- Make sure the contacts of the connector and cable are clean.
- Do the equivalent of "lsusb" under OSX to check if the tablet is detected.
- Try different USB ports.

Have tried five ports accross three computers on three operating systems. Two usb cables, and the use of the dock should have bypassed any dirty connections. I can try Ubuntu live boot tomorrow if it comes to that.
Sent it off to get fixed, they verified they had the same problem, waited weeks for a replacement part, they replaced it and sent it back. And its doing the samn damn thing. So done with this tablet.

How do you connect the tablet to the PC? Always through the dock USB?
Do you have the same problem when connecting the tablet directly? Undock it, use the original cable to connect to different USB ports.

Are the drivers installed? This is usually the problem. If that is not the problem, it may be the USB Port or the USB Cable. Switching ports usually helps.

Unfortunately, i have tried both of those things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled samsung drivers from both kies and the samsung website. I have also tried switching ports with no avail. I have found out when i connect my phone in download mode in one port there will be a sound as if a device is connected but i cannot see the phone on my computer, on all other ports it will sound as if the device connected and then disconnected immediately.

Yes! You hear the sound of the phone being connected. Have you checked any processes on your computer when that happens? Download Mode needs certain drivers (downloaded automatically) to be able to work with Odin.

Hmmm. Another option could be just flashing to stock rather than using Odin. May I ask why you want to go back to stock? Are you returning your phone? If so, flashing a stock ROM should suffice..

Well yes, im soon going to be getting a new phone in May(any suggestions?? lol). However, since flashing Cyanogen Mod 10 i have had trouble getting calls. I cannot hear when the phone is dialing and if someone picks up on the other end i dont hear anything. Also, recently texts have not been working. I have seen that I am able to send texts but not recieve them, or if i do they will take a LONG time to come through and usually i will get all the messages at once.
