[Q] Rooting doesn't work? on a Spica

So I think I may be bricked....
I always had issues installing the drivers for my Spica (Portal here) on my Win7 laptop, but eventually I sorted it out so that Odin would pick it up and I got a pass from Leshak's kernel.
It was operational until I tried installing the firmware; the one that I had packaged with the kernel couldn't install Busybox. I tried a few other firmwires; an older one (which I had to re-root using the spica.ops rather than spica_jc3), CM 7 and CM 7 from this kitchen rom thing.
Those three all returned something like "Could not format system"
So assumedly recovery doesn't actually have root access, and I have tried rerooting it using Odin to no avail.
Any advice? Could it be drivers, is there an alternative PDA file I could use, am I doing a setting in Odin wrong?
Thanks!

Have you read that ? :

I never had a problem with flash spica using Odin. The drivers are compatibile with Win7 - i used Win7 64bit myself

Had a read through and it's everything I've done already!

Note: Recovery can't clear the dalvik cache or wipe the SD card either - seems like a permissions kind of thing

So maybe option "fix permission" could help.
You can find it in a advanced settings in recovery.
You can also try flash in Odin cyanogenmod 8.3 for odin. Is avaible on samdroid somewhere.

[GUIDE I9500] [SOLVED] MTP device driver error 10 FIX

Please notice: this has been done on i9500 device. you can try it on your i9505 it 100% not dangerous, but I dont know if its working
Well im using i9500 custom rum running android 4.2.2 and I had a problem: whenever i connect my phone to PC it says: "unknown device MTP device driver error 10 device can not start."
METHOD 1:
**make sure your device is disconnected from the PC.
** make sure that usb debugging is enabled (go to 'developer mode')
1) Open Xposed Installer and go to Framework and UNINSTALL it.
2) reboot your phone. (NOT soft reboot- full one).
3) On your PC, go to "driver manager" and under "universal drivers" section, delete "unknown device". (right click-> delete)
4) restart your PC.
5) connect your PC to the computer, it should work now.
6) you can now reinstall Xposed module. reboot your phone (again- not soft reboot) and reconnect it to your PC just to make sure its still working)
METHOD 2:
STEP 1
**MOST CRITICAL: Update ALL your PC drivers using driver software I personally use 'advanced optimizer pro'. UPDATE YOUR BIOS AS WELL! [/COLOR]
- Update drivers using a software.
-Update your bios.
-Download windows updates (start->type 'windows update' in search bar, click on 'windows update'-> 'check for updates'. dont forget to check optional update as well').
dont forget to restart!
now after you are sure both bios and drivers are up to date, try the following
STEP 2/2
- I downloaded and installed samsung drivers
-Try to connect your phone with ANOTHER cable.
-Try to connect your phone to ANOTHER port (this can indicates where the problem is: maybe the cable/port is corrupt)
-I tried deleting ALL samsung drivers and reinstall
-tried connecting my old s1 i9000. try to connect another phone to see where is the problem- phone or maybe computer.
-try to connect phone while its in 'download mode' and recovery mode.
-try running windows error kit.
-download Android ToolKit.
- if non of the above are working, you can always try FULL WIPE+ REFLASH ROM . (or try flashing another rom).
*if its still not working ever after performing all the steps above under method 2, try restart your PC and try Method 1 AGAIN WITH A DIFFERENT PORT AND CABLE. there might be a chance that you have a 'combined' problem (several issues that preventing from your MTP driver to work properly.
After downloading drivers you can be sure 100% ALL YOUR PC DRIVERS ARE PERFECT, try Method 1 again.
METHOD 3
***Coming soon on next update
worked for me with:
custom android 4.2.2 OzcanRom all version including v5.0 according to sep 20 2014.
stock kernel. no system files have been ever modified
working with android 4.1 and above.
Windows 7 SP1 64bit Updated Sep10 2014.

Hi!

yup im talking about the device manger. i will update the thread soon.
you may find one of the following with an error:
1) universal bus controller.
2) MTP driver failed
try to update both of them or uninstall them

tomorrow i will upload METHOD 3
plus method 4 is on its way..

Method 1 No5 -typo
You will connect your phone to the PC, not the computer to the PC...
Also, updating a BIOS is not straight toward and can cause a bricked pc. Be careful advising people to do that

USB problems

Good day.There Nexus 5 and he problems with usb.In the Fastboot PC sees it, but not in others.He says the device is turned off or does not write.I tried to change the driver and reflash the device, but it gave nothing.Other Nexus 5 is determined by the normal.What could be wrong?It is unlikely that he died as the USB mode Fastboot everything works exactly is not working at the system level and MTP

Step 1: Uninstalling Previous Drivers (If first time skip to 'Step 3').
To ensure driver configuration goes smoothly, it is advised to first remove any previous drivers you may have already attempted to configure:
1.) Plug your device in with USB debugging enabled
- Settings > Developer Options > check USB Debugging
2.) Launch Device Manager using the button bellow.
- Identify whatever device resembles your Nexus and right click it
- Select 'Uninstall'
- Check the box for 'Delete the driver software for this device'
- Select 'OK'
3.) Unplug your device and Launch USBDeview using the button bellow
- Use USBDeview to uninstall any;

Yep,I did everything as stated in the instructions

True, could be for the specific device that the identification leads to non-usable drivers. Best to clear out all of them from your PC and start again. Personally, never had this issue with a phone (well a yunos phone that was a ------), but never an android phone. It is still the best bet. You said other devices work, so it must be working, but something is messing with your device. Have you tried on another computer, plug, port...?

Yep,Tried it Windows 7 second after connecting writes that the "device has been disabled"
I have a suspicion that the phone automatically blocks the connection

Make sure that You use USB 2.0 port. I had same problem with 3.0 and avoid usb hubs. You can also tap on that "cable charging" and see if it gives You options like:
Charging only
File transfer
MTP
MIDI.

Hello,
Tried with BOTH USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. Taping on the ""cable charging" does nothing.
Thanks for trying to help :good:

Have You tried doing a factory reset? Odin doesn't always do that unless You will choose a BL file. If nothing will work, don't root etc the phone, just take it to Samsung Repair Center and they will fix it within a week or two. And this way it will be 100% free. Otherwise they would charge You $200+ if it was rooted or knox was tripped.

I did a factory reset from recovery. Yes , it may be a hardware problem , but i don't understand why the phone works in DOWNLOAD MODE. Just doesn't make sense.

Here is something that worked for me.
Activate Developer options on your phone. To do this go to Settings < About phone < Build number and tap Build number 7 times quickly.
Return to Settings and scroll down to Developer options, tap it and scroll down to USB Configuration. Tap it and you will a number of options. Try taping MTP. If that does not work try long pressing it. If that does not work tap one of the other options such as Midi and then go back and tap MTP.
This should activate the ability to download files and still allow charging.
This worked for me on my Verizon S6.
Good luck.

Tried in "Developer menu" with USB debugging ON/OFF and with all the option available in the "USB configuration menu" (MTP,PTP, MIDI, etc)in "Developer menu" .
Tried also using the *#0808# code for USB SETTINGS.
Can't detect the device using a computer , showing nothing in DEVICE manager ,neither the device can't detect any PC showing only "Cable charging" without the "Connected as media device" message.
I really can't understand why it does work in ODIN - DOWNLOAD MODE.
I will try a NAND ERASE , if its still happening , obviously is hardware related.

Galaxy J7 Memory Problem

Hello!
Please please help me!!!!
My Problem:
After factory reset (even before) without any installation I have only 541MB from 639MB of Phone memory free, when I connect it to the PC.
SD Card memory is OK.
So I had always problems with installing for example Navigon or other programs, because the phone says alwas: Less memory, please add new memory.
So I want to root it, OR MAYBE THERE IS AN OTHER WAY TO EXENT THE MEMORY.
Because inside the phone, when I check the memory via android 5.1.1 there are more GB free.
But I cannot root it, because odin and kies cannot find the J700F Model.
So I trtied different drivers.
Please Please help, or give me some comment what I could try!!!
Best regards
Hook

There android 6.0.1 available for the j700f. If you google search... updato archives, on youre computer or laptop then type in j700f in the firmware search bar and the firmware will show up. Id try a fresh install of the firmware and see that helps. Id post a link but i havent reached 10 posts yet.. id try to update the firmware to 6.0.1 marshmallow and see if that fixes it.

Here you go ....

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many many Thnaks for helping!!!!!!!!
Yes, I read about it, but my Problem is that I also cannot use Odin.
See Post:
I have an really big problem with my phone: "SM-J700F"
I am not able to connect via odin or kies to this one.
But in windowes explorer (Win7 64bit) everything is visible.
In MTP Mode, Usb-Storage and PTP mode.
Also I can acess to the phone via the explorer.
But not with odin and/or Kies.
I tried to installit several times (Kies also Kies3)
Then I tried another win7 computer, but with same result.
The reason is, i wont to root the phone, because of low memory, even after reseting to factory.
I hope really a lot that there is an solution!!!!
--------
And additional Information:
When I connect my Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo, everything is working.
So I compared the used driver for both phone (S5 is OK), (J7 is not) in the device manager of windows.
So below you see the entries when the phone is connected:
S5 Neo - OK:
-Modem: Samsung Mobile USB Modem
-Samsung Android Phone: Samsung Android ADB Interface
-Tragbare Geräte: Galaxy S5 Neo (translated means: carryable device)
-USB Controller: Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device
Same with J700F - Not OK:
- Modem: entity is not existing ---> difference
-Samsung Android Phone: Samsung Android ADB Interface ---> is equal
-Tragbare Geräte: full_tangxun6572_we_I ---> different, is the Name whitch is visible in windows explorer
-USB Controller: USB Verbindungsgerät (translatet: USB Connection Device) ---> different (this Entity is already existing, even when no phone is connected)
So I tried to update exactly this driver with the downloaded one from Samsung. For this I had to use no compactible hardware.
When I select almost all INF driver, the right driver was visible during installation, but it could not start (code 10)
I think this is somehow the problem.
With the driver "USB Verbindungsgerät" on the windows side everything is OK. Copy to phone, explore,...
But I think that Kies and Odin don't find the acces point to the USB samsung device....the bridge to this device.
Maybe there is an possibility go give odin an additional command, where odin connect to the right port (_#0006) and HUB (_#0004) which I see in the USB Verbindungsgerät....

1. Usb debugging on
2. Oem Unlock enabled if its in dev settings,
3. Connect usb to phone and computer
4. Boot into download mode
5. Open odin
6. Select pda
7. Select the firmware file
8. Click start
9. Wait a little bit for the firmware to load
8. Firmware flashes
9. Profit
If the firmware fails to load in odin after 1 minute then you must decompress the zip file and extract the firmwares tar and then flash the tar instead of zip.
Not sure what happened to youre phone but it sounds more like at one time it was rooted and some system modifications have caused it to mess up things.. if you havent done any system modifications then its a strange bug..
In odin it will have a blue box up in the com area up at the top left of odin if its blue then you are connected. If its blue and file fails to load it must be decompressed and extracted so its just the tar file..
Look and see does even a blue box show in odin when youre connected?

Not working --- what is wrong?

Hi!
I tested it again (same prozedure on 2 computers)
1. Usb debugging on -> done!
2. Oem Unlock enabled if its in dev settings, -> done!
3. Connect usb to phone and computer -> done!
4. Boot into download mode -> done!
5. Open odin -> done!
The Problem is, that ODIN cannot find the phone.
There is nothing below "ID:COM" no entity!
So I cannot go forward.
I treid on 2 PCs. Same result.
But interesting ist that from windows I can acces to the phone.
But not via odin and Kies.
Maybe you can give me information whitch driver should be used in the device manager?
Interesting is that Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo is working with this procedure....
I am really sad, and I hope so much that you can help!!!

Sorry, but in this tread I would like you to ask about the memory points.
Why I have so less memory in the J700F?
Is it normal?

Bit when I select MTP+ADB the other one is not deselected and I cannot continue?
Means with OK - no function and Reboot - no function (then both are selected....!)
