[Completed] Can you help me save my device (Tablet) ? - XDA Assist

Hi.
I have done something stupid
Some website claimed that rom manager from clockworkmod would not work unless twrp was installed. (I guess they meant "for getting the CWM Recovery Boot Menu to work").
I had already rooted my device (Denver Tablet TAQ-80053 ARMv7 with Android 4.1.1) but I thought why not flash to TWRP with the file: "CWM-based-Recovery-v6.0.3.3-signed.zip" ?? BAD idea
Now "Recovery Mode" is only the "TeamWin Logo" then BLACK SCREEN and nothingness ??
Everything else is somewhat normal:
1) I can boot normally into the start screen of Android 4.1.1 and run applets etc.
2) I can connect to Windows 7 (x64) and get file access to everything.
But: Any flashing tool for windows cannot "see" my device, and I very much doubt that it could be a driver problem since I get full access to drives and files on the tablet (USB-connected to Windows 7 x64).
Do you have any thoughts about that ? Because to me it seems logical that a working windows-driver would also work with ADB or ... ?
I also tried the ADB installation with SDK etc. Everything installs fluently with no errors but when I do the "adb devices" command no devices are listed at all ?? The command "ADB Shell" returns an error.
Since I know about the settings needed on the tablet I have: set USB Debug Mode to ON and everytime I plug it in I select "Mass Storage Mode" to get file access from Windows; and it works fine.
As stated above, everything works except "boot into recovery mode" and ADB being able to "see" my device. Not even CWM Rom Manager can boot into recovery mode ??
I want to be able to flash a new OS but recovery mode seems to be the only way apart from the USB to Windows. I cannott accept the notion that the device is "almost bricked" just from installing the wrong
recovery image and now I cannot go back .....
I have spent too much time already and I have discovered that I am not the only one with this problem but I cannot find any solution (that actually works) anywhere. So writing to you guys must be my last
hope. The alternative is getting an axe and chop it to pieces just to be shure that it's completely dead and my $150 lost forever; gone out the window :\
Can anyone please advise me what to do ??

[Q] CMW (internal storage) no ROM (on SD) on TF101 b80

hi! my apologies but i searched and read alot of post already on how to solve this.
i flashed Roach latest CMW how ever being so stupid i forgot to put a ROM on internal memory. did full wipe already and i have no ROM to flash as it reads internal memory only.
ive read alot of post regarding the concern, i want to try to push a ROM on internal drive using ADB but when i run "adb devices" nothing is found.
any suggestions or any links to posts that i might get help or tutorial. im not an expert on using ADB so keep instructions simple, im a noob i admit it but i just need help. thanks!
read through posts "[Troubleshooting/Solved] ClockworkMod recovery 5.5.0.4 from Koush" "Used roach's new CWM recovery, now can't intall rom" "
im on recovery and when i run adb devices it just blank. any walk through is much appreciated!
Do yo have USB debugging on?
I dont know because i was about to flash a new rom so i did a full wipe already
Did you ever get ADB working before all this? USB debugging usually have to be turn on by the user. In Settings>Developer options.
i havent with my tablet but with my htc desire hd i used adb. and when ever i flash a ROM on my tf i usually turn on usb debugging always. right now in on recovery roach r2. my ROM is on my external memory. also tried to do a nvflash how ever whenever i run the download.bat cmd opens then closes 3 secs maybe
i also got a new sdk from this forum " [GUIDE] Getting ADB Setup; An Idiots' proof guide on getting ADB working for Rooting!" as ave said above when i type "adb devices" its just blank and does not list any device.
I had exactly the same problem - I'm not sure about tablet version that I own, but I've flashed Wipe Lite and new Recovery. I also have HTC phone that I've been using on the same PC .
I've spent an hour trying to get my TF back on feet and I managed it.
I would recommend uninstalling all HTC and ASUS software and drivers, rebooting PC and installing just ASUS PC Suite. It worked in my case - suddenly Device ID showed up for a few seconds before ADB reported "no device" again.
So I've pushed Rogue XM Recovery to data/media:
adb push roguexm data/media
Of course use name of zip file instead "roguexm" in command above.
After that zip file showed up on sdcard and I could flash it - it doesn't support AROMA but it works quite fine otherwise.
Hope it'll work in your case. Good luck!
Hope it will help
I once were in your case, did full wipe and forgot to put a Rom in internal memory. But in my case I just rebooted the transformer and all of a supprise, my tablet reverted to the stock Rom! I dont know how this happend but may be Asus did something to keep stock Rom persistent whatever you have flashed roms or CWMs.
So i hope this also happened in your case, just give it a try. Good luck!
If he did "Full Wipe - factory reset" then he should be able to boot HC/ICS and from that copy files onto internal /sdcard.
But if he used Android Revolution Super Wipe script either Lite or Full then he has nothing to boot into, no system at all - I've done that Only thing that left was recovery without external sdcard support, so I had nothing to install...
ASUS and HTC drivers have some issues and make everything harder than it should be, that's why I recommend to uninstall all HTC and ASUS software, rebooting PC and installing ASUS PC Suite only, to have "clean" drivers on PC.
I've tried different drivers and none of them worked, until I've done that.
Ok, I'll try to write it simple, I'm not sure if I can post links so just in case I'll give thread names. If it will be too simple don't get mad - ok?
1. Uninstall ASUS and HTC software, reinstall ASUS software like mentioned above.
2. Create folder on your C: drive called CWM
3. Go to post "Eee Pad Transformer Android Development\[Recovery] Rogue XM Recovery v1.3.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7" thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446019
and "save as..." cwm_recovery-5027_rogue_rburrow-tf101-r1.zip to C:\CWM
4. Highlight/select command below:
adb push cwm_recovery-5027_rogue_rburrow-tf101-r1.zip data/media
then right click on it and select "copy" - it will save you typing it later.
5. Boot Recovery on your Transformer and connect it to PC, let system install device drivers
6. Click START, "Run...", type: cmd
7. It should show you path to your profile folder - C:\Users\yourname>
8. Type: cd /CWM
it will change folder to C:\CWM>
9. type: adb devices
(it should give you your device ID, if it still will give "no device id" then there I can't help you - I'm sorry)
10. right click on black background and select "paste" (you'll see command that you've copied from number 4), then press enter
11. It should copy recovery onto your internal sdcard - you will be able to select it from tablet
12. type adb kill-server and disconnect tablet, install new recovery and from that one you will be able to select external or internal sdcard
Notes:
I don't know why but I was able to send only small file from CWM-adb connection, it kept disconnecting quite quickly that is why I recommend sending Rogue XM Recovery instead of whole new ROM.
Other thing - it may depend on what windows system you have - I'm on Win 7 x64 (don't remember how it worked on other versions) and I can paste onto cmd (black) window without problems from right click menu. If you won't be able to paste there or you'll get some rubbish, try to right click on top bar and select "Edit" and then "Paste".
Ok, that's all. Hope it will work.
thanks for all inputs. i did a full wipe but not as scripts. i wiped manually. i did try to reboot but stuck as eepad screen. will try to re-install asus drivers and uninstall htc ones. hopefully i get it done today. i will update later...
still no luck. device not found. im going to try to install new sdk... i hope it works. ive already removed htc sync and drivers. also re-installed asus sync and updated drivers. on device manager detects on other devices transformer but drivers are not installed.
yahoo! got it working now. i had to enable adb usb Drivers for Nvidia Tegra based Android Tablets and re-install SDK download android usb and learn What Is ADB And How To Install It With Android SDK.
finally got my tablet working again and my first thing to do is have a copy of a ROM and CWM in both storages!
thanks alot for the input and for helping!
thanks Kraliz

[Q] Trouble with fastboot

Hi all,
I had a nice, long, detailed post typed out but then my browser at work crashed, so here is the revised edition:
I recently (three days ago) bought a TF300T tablet. Absolutely love it. As any android fan does, I immediately wanted to root it to get the full benefit of the device. I followed the step-by-step guide on the cyanogenmod wiki and have been successful (after a few hours of figuring things out) in unlocking the device. I am aware at this point that my device is unlocked and my Asus warranty is voided. I am also aware I may have to follow different steps to root it, and am willing to do so accordingly.
I'm not set on using cyanogenmod, but that seems to be the most popular and well-known one so I'd like to use one that is established.
So, up until now I have followed that guide but I am having an issue with flashboot. When I go to do the 'fastboot devices' command, I get nothing. It just jumps to the next line, as if I sent a blank command. When I type 'adb devices' it works fine and shows some letters&numbers so I know my device is recognized.
With all that being said, can anyone advise me on which step I'm doing wrong, if any?
Also, I'm -really- cautious about potentially bricking this thing. I still have 30 days at Best Buy but I'm also an employee there and my co-workers know I'm trying to root so if I brick it, it may not be as easy to return it as with a normal customer. I also have the Accidental Damage & Handling plan so if I DO brick it, I can smash it and get a new one without too much incident, if it comes down to it (which obviously is a LAST resort)
My device is as following:
Asus Transformer Pad TF300T unlocked, firmware .29.
I' have about 15 tabs open in Google Chrome right now after SEARCHing the forums, specifically the TF300 forum, and I'm filtering through all the posts right now. If I find a solution I will post asking for this thread to be deleted.
I'm very tech-savvy, but completely new to android. I don't own a smartphone, and this is my first android device, so this is an incredible learning experience. If anyone feels so kind, could you please explain the different terminiologies used in the rooting scene? I hear stuff about blobs, .build files, DE, WW, US stuff. What's what? And what does it all mean?
Thanks so much, and here's to hoping my computer doesn't crash as soon as I press "post"!!

*edit* Forgot to add that when I use the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-tf300t.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the command prompt just stays stuck on "waiting for device", while my device is stuck on "Starting fastboot USB download protocol"
Slight resolution
So I am just posting with a slight update to what I've been trying to get this working. I uninstalled the ADK, all drivers, and started over from scratch. I installed ADB using the method listed on the CyanogenMod wiki, and it works fine (I can use all ADB commands from command prompt and it lists my device when I use the 'adb devices' command.
So I'm continuing to follow the steps on the CyanogenMod wiki page and I get back to the part about Fastboot. I boot into fastboot mode, plug the device in, and the new development is that my computer DOES recognize fastboot only in device manager. I do have a yellow exclamation mark near it meaning I don't have the proper driver installed.
So now my newest question is, how do I install the driver for -just- fastboot, or where can I find the .inf file so I'm able to install it myself?
I'm SO close to rooting this device I can just taste it!! Any device is very much appreciated
Thanks!

Are you following this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173
Pretty easy to follow and the easiest way to install recovery and root device.
Yes I have followed that guide and like I said I get to the step where fastboot SHOULD be recognized by my computer but it isn't. It shows up in my device manager with a yellow exclamation point so I literally just need the driver to make things work and I should be rooted.
This thread has the drivers you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661653
There are no special fast boot drivers. Just install the Asus drivers, and you'll be good to go.
Also, I know this is off-topic, and I mean no offense to you, but every time I see a thread about driver problems in Windows, I feel a thousand times better about using Linux. No drivers to install. It just works.

I think you do need to install android sdk because of the fastboot files are in there and need it to use fastboot that could be the reason why his computer does not recognize the tablet when he is in fastboot mode. If you look at your android manager you will see a file under android tools that fastboot files are installed.
you need to specify device id

See, I think that's where I messed up. None of the guides say to download ASUS' drivers, and in my anxiousness to root I must have overlooked that step. I will try this today and post my results accordingly!! Also, no offense taken by the linux comment, and I've used linux in the past, but I've had quite a few times where it doesn't "just work" (Like using a broadcom wireless card on my old laptop. I had to learn how to use ndiswrapper and whatnot, not a pleasant experience for a linux newb at that time!!)
I recently removed my Linux partition (was using ubuntu 10.10 because I hate unity!!) and can re-install it if it will make my rooting process easier?

Yea I didn't download the asus pad suite drivers, and I think that is what is causing my issue. I wish I could post links to the guides I am following but none of them specify that. They just say to download the android SDK and all drivers are included.
FlyingPoo said:

I did do that, flyingpoo. At one point my cmd line showed "Sending file recovery.img (5***kb)" but the tablet never picked it up, so I know there is just some miscommunication between the tablet and the PC. When I typed adb devices in cmd line, I see the device listed, but when I type fastboot devices in cmd line, it just goes to a blank line.
I will try the above listed solutions and hope that something works. Thank you all so much for your help!
*edit* This guy, right here? Yea, he's freakin ecstatic! I installed the drivers from EndlessDissents' post, and it worked!! As soon as I booted into fastboot mode, my computer recognized the device. I then used the command that FlyingPoo used (which I tried in the past), and it showed:
Code:
c:\recovery1>fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' <5306 KB>...
OKAY [2.417s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [2.053s]
finished. total time: 4.473s
So now I'm following the next few steps to root it. I've backed up my apps using Astro as well as the ASUS backup suite, and I'm using CWM for a backup of my entire system at the moment.
Thank you again to everyone who responded. I always get hung up on the simplest step, but once that is overcome everything else is a smooth ride downhill
One last noobish question to ask, and then I think I'll be done:
I've downloaded the root-signed.zip file, as well as the latest CyanogenMod file I could find (The official wiki didn't have one listed for any asus products, for some reason?) as well as a google apps for cyanogenmod. I put the files on my SD card but nothing on there is detected within CWM. So the noobish question is which directory do I need to put the files in for CWM to detect it?
That being said, I'm also wanting to backup my system to my external SD card and I selected the option in CWM to backup but it said no sd\ext was detected. Any thoughts?
Thanks again everyone for your responses.
*EDIT* For anyone following this thread, I did figure it out. Another guide I referenced specifies that you copy the files to the INTERNAL SD card (which is kind of confusing, as SD card explicitly refers to an external memory card) and then choose it from CWM. So for me, I downloaded the files on my computer, copied them to my SD card, put the SD card in my tablet, and copied the files to the root directory of the internal storage on my tablet.
Thanks again everyone, I now have root (at least, I'm pretty sure I do?)
Mod, please feel free to close this thread as necessary.

[Q] ROOT Smartpad ep750

Hi, does anybody have any idea on how to root this? On their website they have an updater tool which says to get it into recovery you must push power and volume button only there is no volume button.. only physical button is a power button and then there is a reset hole in the back of the tablet. http://www.easypix.eu/smartpad750_en.html
I would like to at least root it and then see if there are any developers for this model.
Thanks.
I found a question from someone who has broken their same model tablet which was rooted, so it is possible.
You can get the proper windows drivers and connect to it through ADB. Using this method you can push clockwork mod touch, and the touch interface should work fine. You might have to use ADB terminals for keypresses as it starts though, I'm not sure how you would boot into recovery without a rom. But once in a rom, you can always select the reboot into recovery option.
do you have any guide for this, Im more just interesting in rooting it to start with. I think I figured out how to get it into some sort of recovery mode but windows wont let me install the recovery mode drivers so I cant do anything
bump
I just rooted it with unlockroot.com , It works for any tablet with the rockchip 2906 (Rk29).

It seems impossible for me, I installed the driver, now in the Windows device-manager you can find a "Class for rockusb devices" and there a "RK29 Device" but adb seems not fo find it.
While I see the device in my Windows device manager I pushed the Root-button from the unlockroot.com - tool, but after it tried to check via ADB there comes a popup "not detected any device ..."
Checking it with Ubuntu-Linux with the lsusb - command, this tablet has NO NAME, I can find the VendorID and the ModelID but after that, there is NOTHING , all other USB-Devices do have a name after its IDs, and trying to check via Davlik Debugging Monitor (ddms) you have to chose the name of your device,
but it is impossible to me, because I cannot chose NOTHING to use NOTHING with ADB ... has anybody an idea, how it may work, or has anybody a working ROM on his Easypix Smartpad EP750 which has root or at least a name ?
Maybe anybody has a working udev - entry for Linux ... pls post it here !!!
Under Windows I am able to flash the device with its own flashing-tool (RKBatchTool) but since now I did not find any ROM which I can flash instead of the original ROM - the latest I downloaded from Easypix-WebSite = 750_20120621 with Android 4.04 but no root-access,
I tried to flash a CM9, but the RKBatchTool told, that was no possible ROM for that device .....

[TOOL] ADB Data Recovery (recover data from a phone with broken screen)

**UPDATE**
NEW VERSION
THIS RELIES ON ADB COMMANDS, SO IF YOU DO NOT HAVE USB DEBUGGING TURNED ON, OR A CUSTOM RECOVERY TO BOOT TO, THEN IT WILL NOT BE AS SIMPLE AS JUST RUNING THE PROGRAM.
Another user was having issues because he had an emulator installed, so I updated the file to give you the choice between an emulator, or device. I intend to update further to allow you to check for and select an individual device, that will come soon..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently my Galaxy s2's screen smashed, and, after replacing it with a GS4, i realized that many of my pictures were stuck on the internal sd card of the GS2. Being unable to turn on mass storage mode, I made a very simple tool that makes using adb pull a simple, painless process, even for the most computer illiterate of android users. Hope this helps if anyone needs it.
For anyone having issues...
If you had not previously activated USB Debugging, there are several steps you need to follow in order to enable ADB
SCREEN WORKING TOUCH BROKEN NO CUSTOM RECOVERY​first, if you can see your screen, and have access to an otg cable, plug a mouse in to the otg cable, and the otg cable into the phone. Use the mouse to enable USB debugging, or to transfer files.
HOW TO ENABLE USB DEBUGGING
SCREEN WORKING TOUCH BROKEN WITH CUSTOM RECOVERY​boot to your custom recovery ADB commands will work here. (usually hold vol- + pwr)
HOW TO BOOT TO RECOVERY
Once in custom recovery, connect the device to the PC.
open CMD and enter the following commands;
cd c:\android (this is your ADB path, c:\android is default)
adb devices
The result should be something like
List of devices attached
051a4dd5 recovery
^^this number will be different for you
if you get a result on ADB devices, then you can use the program

*The following is paraphrased from this site
1. download the custom recovery image for your device. Copy the recovery image to a convenient location on your computer, preferably with a short path. We will be placing it on the C Drive directly (not in any folder) and using that in the next steps.
Note: The recovery image should have .img extension. If it is in a zip file, extract the .img file from it.
I recommend clockwork mod non touch from this page
2. Power your device off and reboot your device to FASTBOOT or DOWNLOAD MODE depending on which type of device you have.
(most devices are fastboot, SAMSUNG typically uses DOWNLOAD MODE)
how to boot to fastboot or download mode
[FASTBOOT]​3. Connect your device to your computer via USB and wait till you see the PC recognize the device
to check if your device is in fastboot and connected use CMD and enter the following commands;
cd c:\android (this is your ADB path, c:\android is default)
fastboot devices
you will see a list of connected devices. if not, something went wrong.
4. Launch Command Prompt and type the following commands;
cd c:\android (this is your ADB path, c:\android is default)
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
5. Wait for the process to finish.
6. Turn device off then boot to your custom recovery ADB commands will work here. (usually hold vol- + pwr)

Question
Hi! Can I use that to restore data not from sdcard but from internal memory of the device? I was storing photos on device memory on my Asus TF300T and now its bricked. I need to restore these photos, my girlfriend has something like 1000 of them from her trip to Caracas. Its very important for her. I already managed to connect the device through fastboot and I launched anb in cmd. What should I do next? Please help me guys

Yes, when it references SD Card it means the internal "SD" storage built in to the phone, not the removable one. It should work as long as ADB can connect.
Sorry for taking so long to reply, i really hope you got your pictures back.

Recently my Galaxy s2's screen smashed, and, after replacing it with a GS4, i realized that many of my pictures were stuck on the internal sd card of the GS2. Being unable to turn on mass storage mode, I made a very simple tool that makes using adb pull a simple, painless process, even for the most computer illiterate of android users. Hope this helps if anyone needs it.
P.S. I apologize if i have posted this in the wrong place, if so please let me know.

Try this, i haven't gotten to test it, so please let me know if it worked for you, I added the option of selecting an emulator or USB device, because of your post. Hopefully it helps.
When I try to run this I also get an error message saying that the adb.exe file cannot be found.
Please can anyone help?

Have you also installed ADB, as well as this software?
I'm also having an issue - I have installed java, java SDK and ADB, so I can now run the data recovery tool. But when I do I'm getting "error:device not found" - am I missing drivers or something? I couldn't get all the way on the ADB configuration, because part of it required me to do something on the device... anyway, looks like the computer isn't recognising the the phone at the moment.
Any help very gratefully received (phone is Samsung Galaxy S2).

I have the same situation right now. Managed to make your program work then I get the "error:device not found". My phone does show up in the computer folder(albeit not in mass storage mode), but isn't that what this program was made to work around?
My phone is a LG Optimus G with a smashed glass... The LCD still displays fine, but I'm stuck at my swipe lock because the digitizer is dead.
Thank you for your help and your wonderful program.
Thanks for this app. My girlfriend broke her screen and digitizer on her Galaxy S4. She never turned USB Debugging mode and has a lock on her screen. When using your app I get the same error when I use adb by itself which is "error: closed". ADB detects my phone but any command I use in ADB or with your app I get that same error.
Do you know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot man.
dude this tool is just amazing and does exactly what it promised. I was spending sleepless nights thinking about how to recover my data from my broken galaxy nexus and now that I have it I can rest easy. Seriously can't thank you enough for this. Just joined xda to thank you buddy.:laugh::fingers-crossed:
Getting an error "The system cannot find the path specified."
I start the recovery tool, set eh adb path successfully, and then I get this error. If I try running the recovery to pull the DCIM library I get this:
"error: device not found"
What can I do?
Thanks!
Either way this is an amazing tool, seeing how it helped some people already. :good:
Hi, Seem to have the same problem as many others, Device not found. I cant change to MTP mode on my LG G2.
I hope someone can find a solution to this problem.
Program seems amazing doh.
Hello,
This is really a great tool ! I was wondering if you could add the possibility to recover the external sd card aswell.
Device not found
Tried to recover a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini with a broken screen
I installed adb and RecoverData, run it and then get a "device not found error"
What can I do?
Amazing app. thank you so much :good:

**UPDATE**
NEW VERSION
Another user was having issues because he had an emulator installed, so I updated the file to give you the choice between an emulator, or device. I intend to update further to allow you to check for and select an individual device, that will come soon..

[Q] Problems while updating drivers

Hi everybody !
I got my new OPO phone Tuesday, and I decided to root & unlock it. I downloaded Bacon Root Toolkit v1.0.2, and runned it. I first opened it and wrote that i had an old version of android, because my OPO was not updated yet, so the rooting didn't work. So i updated Cyanogen Version on my OPO today, it's now 64GB SandStone, XNHP44S-KTU84Q. I clicked on Full Driver Installion - Automatic + Manual, and then went to Step 3 as recommended. I downloaded Google Drivers, then clicked on Configure ADB. So appears the Device Manager, i clicked on A0001 ( OnePlus One ) and then tried to Update Drivers Software, but i can't have the " Android Devices " in the selection, i only have " USB MTP Device ". And if i try to Fastboot the OPO, it doesn't appears anymore in the Device Manager.
My friends didn't have that problem so they couldn't help, maybe could you ?
Sorry for bad english, i'm a French student ...
Waiting for an answer soon ! Cya !

first off root kit is not needed to root your phone. Secondly you did not have to update it prior to rooting as well. Now I came across this issue with my friends phone the other day and used this method here.
It works just dont skip a step and please use the stickied method in General to root your phone. You learn nothing with root kits. Its also keeps you from searching properly and finding answers.....

you are confusing me if you followed the directions then put your phone in Fastboot mode you should see your phone popup in your device manager list.
Install the latest Samsung drivers: SAMSUNG USB Driver v1.5.33.0
Restart the computer (very important)
Go to Device Manager, find the Android device, and select Update Driver Software.
Select Browse my computer for driver software
Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Select ADB Interface from the list
Select SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface (this is a signed driver). If you get a warning, select Yesto continue.
Done!
Please dont take this wrong but is this your first android phone and rooting? If so there is soooo much you should be reading before doing this. Also make sure this is what you want to do. With rooting what goal are you trying to achieve

This is my second Android phone, and i never rooted my phone. A friend told me to do this and i have to do this if i want to get WiFi access at my school.
When i'm the Device Manager, the OPO doesn't appears in Fastboot mode... Neither Android Device...
I downloaded the Samsung Driver, but after rebooting the PC, i can't see any Android Device in the Device Manager. I only have MTP, that contain A0001, Android ADB Device, and something else useless. And i can't update Android ADB Device's Drivers Software...

OK with android and rooting following instructions is key. By your response you did not follow all the steps. Please follow each one to the letter
There are more steps for you to do after a reboot
