[Q] Problem connecting to computer

I have an Infuse 4g that I've rooted and romed multiple times with no problem, but about 2 months ago I updated it to 4.2.1, rooted and romed it with paranoid android and eventually bricked It and restored it back to stock using Odin. I was planning to sell it until I changed my mind because it's such an awesome phone , so I decided to reroot it. That's when I tried rerooting it, but it didn't show up on the computer when I connected it. I even tried using 3 other computers, different usb cords, and even the different usb ports on the computers as recommended.
I've never had this kind of problem before, and if I did I looked on here and always found the answer. I even waited to see if anyone had the same problem which I did find a thread on it, but it has become inactive with no solution. I would be very grateful and willing to donate to someone who could help. I'd much rather donate some money than having to buy another phone that I can root . Thanks in advance

I already have stock 2.3.6. and it won't go into download mode anyways because it doesn't connect to the computer.

you can try using a usb-jig and force it into download mode
then try connection either heimdall or odin in download mode

Doesn't restoring mean you will lose the files you used to have on the phone? I have the same issue, and it doesn't help, since I have files on the actual phone which I need to get !

If I understand correctly, the 'jig' option only helps getting into dowload mode, correct ? I have files on the phone I would have life to get off, how do you suggest I go about doing this ?

Hey, what do you suggest for getting files off the phone unto a computer?

1 - jig = download mode
2 - files to PC?
- USB, mount drives to copy sdcards
- USB, run ADB from Android SDK to copy anything... Use adbmagic or android commander for a window-based interface
- SMB, to copy to PC via wifi
-CIFS (if the kernel supports it) to copy to PC via wifi
First option is easiest, others require some searching, reading, learning, and setup on your part.
--- if you are talking about your apps, run TiBu first and then copy the contents of the TitaniumBackup folder from phone to PC along with everything else you want to save.
--- To fix USB connection problems, if you are running windows, you can try removing the phone usb entries from device manager. I wrote something up on this a while ago.. I'll post a link when I'm back in front of a computer.

I don't know personally, that's why I was asking about those Jigs. I'm just a newb. But now that I know what they do, I'm buying one! LOL!

Here's a link to the post I mentioned above which contains a guide on reloading the Samsung drivers and clearing out device manager....

[Q] OPO Root problem. Device not found

Hello everyone,
I've been a member since the I had my Sony Xperia X10 and Samsung Galaxy S3 and both phones were rooted using xda forums. I greatly appreciate this community and should contribute more but I'm not that advanced as most users here. I do have a little some experience tinkering around with the computer but I'm mainly a hardware type of guy and know only a little on software.
But here is my problem. I tried a few methods of trying to root my One Plus One and had little success. I came to a conclusion that it's a driver issue. When i use the command adb devices, it wouldnt show any devices. When I look in the device manager with my OPO plugged in, the drivers are missing. I tried to manually download android sdk and install from there but still no luck. I tried using the GUI toolboxes which has the adb and drivers to install. But still came out with no luck.
Can anyone assist me with my situation? When I turn on Developer Options and checked Android Debugging and USB Debugging Notify, I would not get the message to confirm and give access to the computer. I can open all folders in Windows 7 of my OPO and I use the original data cable supplied with my phone.
Thanks in advance!

Try manually installing the correct driver in device manager. Chances are that Windows is picking a matching but incompatible driver from your old device or tries to be smart.

Really Hard Brick!!

Hello my friends,
now it happened to me. My OPO bricked after I installed the ColorOS port. I wanted to restart it after a succesful installation of the 2.06 port in TWRP. Now it doesn't start, neither gets recognized by windows as QHSUSB or something like that. Any ideas what I can do? It doesn't vibrate even if I hold the power button for 2 minutes.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Felix

Thanks, but the problem is that the device doesn't get listed at all in the device manager. There isn't even a "usb connect/disconnect"-sound in windows, like the device is totally dead.

Nothing you can do. Sell it at a junkyard or try to get it warranty swapped.

No, because they're based on the same method. I can't install any drivers because there is no device listed in the device manager.
I've tried 3 different USB cables, still no luck.
But I stumbled on this:
3) If drivers dont work or your device is not detected for whatever reason install the QPST tool.

I installed it but don't know what to do. Its not just a single tool, its a toolkit.

Ok, but many other people in your exact situation have recovered by using those methods, you can't say it doesn't work until you actually attempt it.

What knowledge do you have except copy pasting some random link? The guy got hard brick. What you talk about is soft brick. Read what he says in the post then copy paste links.

The problem is that I cant attempt it because im not able to do the first step.
I think there is a misunderstanding here.
To follow these instructions the device has to be recognized by the pc, which in my special case isn't.
So I think thats it with my OPO.. Very sad

You have to turn off windows driver signing before installing the drivers otherwise it might install the drivers correctly. Did you try install the drivers with driver signing off?

No, because they're based on the same method. I can't install any drivers because there is no device listed in the device manager.

Exactly what I thought. You might want to brush up a bit, he is not experiencing a proper hard brick. Do some reading before you claim to know something, as I said, many people in the exact same situation have brought their phones back to life.

Hey timmaaa, i don't want to speak against you, but its not the exact same situation. I think I have a proper hard brick, because the device isn't showing any sign of life
These tutorials have no use in my case until now.

Ok lmk how it goes.

Nexus 5 probably briked (adb/fastboot not work)

I have problem starting my nexus 5 (Stock, android 6.0)
Boot stopping on Google logo. However adb unavailable (adb devices shows nothing, but USB debugging enabled in Dev settings)
Ok, when I go to fastboot menu fastboot devices shows nothing too
hxxp://i.imgur.com/gH9G7SS.jpg
I tried this under Windows 8.1 and Xubuntu
On Windows phone displayed as "Unknown USB device", but Windows decline offer to update driver for this device (aka "My system driver up to date")
I also tried to wipe data through recovery, but it returned error - couldn't mount /cache, /data and /system
Please help.

Have you tried under Windows 7? I don't know or use Linux and I also have problems with Windows 8 so I downgraded my machine to Windows 7 and stays on 7.

uninstall and reinstall the drivers in Windows.

Use Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit button "Install & test drivers" - it guides you through the setup of your Windows drivers. I also had problems with Windows 8, though I think that 8.1 was ok, and on Windows 10 I have no driver problems.

On Windows 7 the same behaviour

Not sure what to suggest but you need to get it recognized so you can unlock the bootloader and flash a stock ROM.

io_zhik said:

Start the device in bootloader mode... Look for DEVICE MANAGER in Windows, connect the phone and look for it on the list. Right click and UNINSTALL (probably Unknown USB device).
Disconnect the phone and reconnect it, it should install by itself and start working. If it works you might have to do the same while the phone is in bootloader mode.
If this doesn't work, try installing Wugfresh's nexus root toolkit, it guides you through everything, including installing/updating windows drivers. A lot of experienced users don't like the toolkit since you don't actually learn much by using it. The way I see it is as a tool (as it's name says) that does all the work for you while you sit back and relax, and so far it has worked well most of the time, specially when doing what you want to do, do a fresh install of Android.

You could also try updating the Windows drivers using the drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nt/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339

I didn't know you where the first one to ever suggest the toolkit. By your logic, you too should have quoted whoever suggested the app before you, even if it was in another forum.
Anyways, since you actually took your time to complain about it, and to make you feel better, I'll say sorry. wtf lol
