superuser su update stuck phone in recovery mode perm. wiped phone...os went with. tried following a couple of instructions but they all go on the assumption computer has drivers and none of the driver install options seem to work when getting new one on computer. have to add device every time, can not get computer to recognize phone as more than "android" unless in recovery.i can not enable usb debugging as no os on phone so no mtp drivers for phone so no usb recog. the instructions ive found thus far do not seem to apply to my situation. ive downloaded android studio and it doesnt seem to be able to help. nothing ive downloaded shows as a driver that can be installed manually. im assuming i cant do anything until i get a working driver on the computer so i guess this is the first thing i need help with. windows 7, nexus 4 16 gig. there is nothing in file manager on phone in recovery. as far as i can tell i now own a brick. i do do seem to have stock recovery (no android with ! shows up) just team win screen.

Hello,
Few months ago , the power button of my nexus s had broken. I used volume rocker and I could turn on the screen.
Today I tried to flash a rom . I have done this before many times and I know the process.
After I had wiped all the data ( system , faxtory reset, cache) , I pulled off the battery.
When the phone starts it stucks on google logo , because there is no rom in it.
When I boot it into the fastboot mode , my pc cannot recognize it at all, I plug it in my pc and there is no sign that a new hardware has been installed.
I don't know what else to do. If I could get it recognized by my pc , I would be able to silve the problem.
Any suggestions on how can I fix it? Can I fix the fastboot mode problem????
Thanks for your time
I am looking forward hearing your replies...
If you don't have this installed on your PC already, you should install it and follow the directions for installing the drivers carefully. It worked for me.
P.S. this thread belongs in Q&A
Thanks for the reply but it cannot do anything. I posted here so as I can get help from developers who know more stuff than other users.
unless your thread is about ANDROID DEVELOPMENT ... IE your own ROM / KERNEL / MOD etc... it should be in q and a or general.
OP that is not how it works, posting in the Development Section because you believe the help is great there....WRONG! Sir, you will find the best help is in the proper place in the proper Threads....Please familiarize yourself with the Forum Rules on Posting. Thank You and Moved here.
When you connect your phone to your PC while it's in fastboot mode, if you haven't tried already, go to device manager (assuming your pc is running windows), there should be an unrecognized device in the list, if so you can right click on it and choose update driver, then select driver manually and navigate to the data/drivers folder where ever you have Wug's tool installed (if you don't have it installed then you should), that should properly install the drivers and allow your computer to recognize the phone, then you can use the flash stock+unroot option to repair your phone.
If you don't see any change in device manager when your phone is connected to your computer then I can't help much, maybe try a different usb port if you haven't already.
Good luck

Hello,
I was fiddling with my phone, and for reasons I won't go into, I think I soft-bricked my Galaxy S4. The situation:
I am still able to boot into recovery mode CWM
However I have formatted system, data, cache, sd card from the CWM menu (why - I don't know), and now I do not have any of my Cyanogenmod or original CWM backup zips available on my phone.
I tried sideloading but there is no "Install zip from sideload" option showing in CWM. Just install zip from sdcard.
Perhaps USB Debugging is turned off, but considering I cannot boot the phone into anything but CWM since it has been wiped clean, I cannot turn USB Debugging on.
I've downloaded Android SDK Manager ony my Windows XP machine, but when I go into the prompt to adb push onto my phone, I get "error: device not found". This is probably because USB Debugging is not turned on?
I tried installing PDANet drivers but the USB drivers could not be installed because USB Debugging was not turned on (according to the message box I saw when installing PDAnet on my laptop.
So given the above, I am not sure where to go next. I have the Cyanogenmod zip file on my PC, but have no idea how to get it onto my S4 so that I can install it.
Any ideas?
Thank you. I've tried googling for a day or two but I have had no success figuring out this particular problem. All the other threads and blogs say to just sideload it, but I cannot get my CWM to allow me to sideload.
Hi there,
I think you will find a solution in this thread:

Hello! I have been trying to unroot my G3 (VS985) for approximately a week now (due to a mic failure and need to claim warranty). I cannot seem to get the drivers to install properly and I have done everything in my power to make sure they do. I have the 3.12.3 version drivers currently. When I install them without my phone being plugged in they say they have installed properly. So I go ahead and put it in download mode and plug it in, go into device manager and it does not show up under the COM section, but rather as an "android device" that windows cannot find the drivers for. When I try to manually update the drivers (which I have in the root of the designated folder) it says there are no drivers to be installed and thus ultimately failing my ability to use the flash tool and change everything. Now I tried installing the drivers while the G3 was plugged in and in download mode, to which it begins to say they have successfully installed and then the little box at the bottom right corner of the screen with say "drivers failed to install click for more details" and it says there is no designated path. What am I doing wrong? I cant manually update them or have them install while the phone is plugged in. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. It might be a good idea to take a look at this thread:
[GUIDE][HOW TO][VS985] Restore Verizon to Stock
It contains detailed instructions and you should be able to ask your question there to get help from those who are experienced with your device.
Good luck!
Thread closed, thanks.
My Lg Volt is a rooted device, i screwed up a flash and now its stuck in boot loop. My computer see's it (its in device manager) but i can't install adb to get it into TWRP (which I have installed on it, it is also a rooted device). I keep going into the update device driver thing in windows device manager. and giving the google adb driver system path and windows just say" you already have the best drivers installed already" or something similar to that. ALSO the device is stuck as "MTP USB DEVICE". PLEASE HELP!
Hello, thank you for using XDA Assist.
Unfortunately there is no dedicated forum for that device. Also I haven't found any way to make your device boot to recovery via some key combinations, which is weird since every device basically has that way.
Try asking the same thing HERE in the Android Q&A section.
Good luck!

Hello all,
This seems to be the very best forum for what I need, so I'm here. Here's my problem:
1- LG LS-720 phone, which used to be with Virgin Mobile. The bootloader screen shows Virgin Mobile and it has a few Virgin Mobile apps still on it. I use another phone for my daily usage.
2- I've been able to ROOT it just fine with Kingo.
3- I *think* the bootloader could be locked, but I could easily be wrong.
4- I've tried several different ways to install a new ROM, and all have failed.
5- I think I've installed the drivers correctly for this phone on my desktop, which runs Windows 10 x64.
6- I've used the fastboot and adb method, with Android SDK on my desktop. I keep running into the problem of my phone not being recognized during the
Code:
fastboot devices
step. It will say "Waiting for device".
7-
Code:
Adb devices
returns the model number of my phone along with a number.
8- As far as I can tell, my USB cable is not too long and it's in good shape. I think my USB ports are OK.
9- I'll answer any questions you have for me. I've spent several hours so far on this project, so I'd really like to find the solution, even if it's that my phone cannot be modded. Thank you very much in advance for your help!
