Trying to reformat but cant! - Samsung Galaxy Core

I was messing with my galaxy core prime (android 4.4.4) using a app to remove system apps that you can't with the stock app manager.. (no reason for crap like smartcard manager, bluetooth, wifi sharing..etc to be running when i haven't authorized such things, seems like security risk imo)
Was also editing the autorun list and messing with Norton applock and phone encryption settings to try to further secure it.
Welp, I f'ed things up because phone crashed and now can't do anything.. can't access home screen, settings, call/txt, nothing. So I booted into the stock bootloader and tried formatting the entire thing including cache..
Didn't fix the problem, can't finish the setup wizard without it crashing, get message saying setup, hangouts, and keyguard stopped working and then my phone bricks and can't do absolutely anything. No backup either.
I have been googling and googling for solutions but everything I read says to either:
-Reformat from bootloader (tried a 100 times)
-Wipe with TWRP or CWM (don't have either and can't access play store)
-Use Kies (won't detect my device since I can't enable MTP)
-ADB sideload twrp or cyanogen (cant, usb debugging probably not enabled since I formatted and no way to enable it since setup of android fails)
Odin can't detect anything either.. probably due to same reason. (Cant enable MTP or usb debugging)
So am I totally screwed? What are my options here?
I noticed the stock bootloader has a option to install from external storage.. can I put my sd card in a phone that does work and download twrp, cyanogenmod, (or ANYTHING else to fix this) to that, then put it back in my bricked phone and re flash it that way? That way I wouldn't need mtp or usb debugging... or won't that work?
Wasted so much time trying to fix this guys, googling and even formatted my pc removing Linux and reinstalling Windows hoping suddenly my pc would detect it.. atleast on linux when I used "adb devices" command it detected my device (trying to sideload anything didn't appear to work though, phone says error about verifying it and tries again and says completed and reboots but no sign of the rom I just supposedly sideloaded anywhere)
removing Linux and installing Window seems to have been a mistake because on windows using "adb devices" returns a blank list.. Tried different cords, ports, kies 2 and 3, reinstalling drivers, disabling firewall..etc but like I said even if I do get adb to detect it, what can I do from there without mtp or debugging?
Sorry for wall of txt, just want to be descriptive as possible so I don't get all replies telling me to try stuff that I've tried 100 times or just flat out won't work for my particular problem because of the above reasons..
will be sincerely grateful to anyone that took the time to read this and try to help me.

[Q] Best regards to greatest wizards; any idea for dead rooted Garmin Asus A50 ?

Hi all you wizards,
I had this now brick rooted and jiggling around it with uninstalling some preinstalled apps, but when I attempted to replace some fonts which was my main goal, it turned out that it was not really rooted!!! probably the rooting method and app was malicious. Then none of the apps could fully root it. Z4root followed by Superoneclick and Universalandroot have been tried, no chance but slow and unstable device. finally I decided to master reset. After this, a strange virus like fake warning sticks to the screen saying the battery cover is open and asking to restart! when I really open the cover another warning comes up that battery cover removed. phone is working in background. It responds to USB connection, even detects an update of ROM I copied to solve the problem but no chance.
Has anybody any idea to get it back to life by using PC as there is no direct interactions with the phone coz of the virus?
basically I prefer to get rid of the virus through SDK and ADB if possible although I am a mushroom and Dono how.
Is it possible to wipe off some infected data or I have to wash out all the ROM and install a new one?
I have another phone handy exactly the same thing, should I copy all data from other one to this one or the update version of original ROM would work?
it is Garmin Asus A50 nuvifone with built in full GPS and navigator; 256 ROM, 256 RAM, 600 MHtz CPU, ARMv6, android 2.1 update 1
Thanks so much in advance for any participation even your experiences without useful result
here is some more information about the matter;
I needed to install some fonts for other languages which are not supported by android
So I tried to use information and files to get my device rooted and replace some fonts in system/fonts directory and some files in system/lib directory to use other languages in my android.
1- I started with Z4root , I downloaded through device and installed it, and I uninstalled my antivirus as it always said it is not safe, so I activated USB debugging and then permanent root and I had the super user. I installed some apps and used them to uninstall some preinstalled app and similar issues. When I tried to replace fonts and files, my file explorer with root ability, it said I don’t have enough authorization or something to access the file, I tried more root file explorer but same result, even a root checker said my device is not rooted!
2- Then I tried UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. Again I downloaded it through my device browser but it could not help as it said fails! I thought it is because of Z4root so I uninstalled Z4root but failed to root again.
3- I wanted to use pc method and root my phone by PC, even though this method was for android ginger bread and not my brand but as much as tried, my device did not show a recovery mode in start up by pressing power button and volume key but when I pressed middle key of arrow keys went to safe mode. so I ignored it.
4- Finally I downloaded the oneclick app through my device from the net. It was a zip file with so many files and super user, I just installed superuser but not helpful to replace font, then uninstalled.
5- Again installed Z4root but my phone was freezing and unstable so decided to master reset to factory setting. I did it once but after reset, nothing changed so I did it again. This time a warning sticks on the screen says;
” close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first time set up.”
and asks for restart.
There should be something wrong as when I really open the battery cover, another warning comes up and says; battery cover removed!
Phone is working in background, even I copied a factory update of my ROM and its been detected but the crazy warning does not let to do anything but restart!
Now I need help to show me how I can use my PC to reset my device as upon a usb connection it asks for interaction and lets me to work via usb cable, and then how I can go to recovery mode in start up?
Otherwise it is a brick, lol
it does not let me to do any interaction cause of the crazy warning. it asks for restart, thats all I can do, or other warnings like asking to do update or usb connection option or battery cover removed, but no more. it means I can not activate usb debugging if needed or follow update process through mobile UI. besides in this kind of phone there is no recovery mode but just something like "USB polling mode" and "safe mode." the warning is in safe mode too and I dono how to use "USB polling mode".
however the only option is ADB, and I do not have an backup of the rom but another simillar phone to make copy or the update file, if possible to copy them via ADB which I am dono how; like which commands and where to copy them?

found this but dont know how to adb .
but for sure on giving a missed call and following the idea in link u can use the phone but annoying error wont go away
I have the same problem but I cannot receive calls
Hello
A couple days ago I got a Garminfone from a friend, I use it mostly as a GPS only, because T-Mobile does not have any coverage in my country and I don't have the unlock code.
Yesterday I wanted to make a hard reset to start over, holding the D-pad left while powering on the phone, **WIPE USERDATA** appeared on the screen.
Everything was fine until it restarted, after the restart it showed the following warning: "Close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first-time setup", the battery cover is closed and it does not let me do anything, the official ROM update does not install and If I do another hard reset the error persist and the phone does not make or receive calls.
Before this issue I got it rooted using z4root
Is it there anyway to update the device without using the update launcher from the phone?, or reinstall the 2.1 update using the usb cable via command prompt or any tool?.
I just want to get rid of this error and keep using the device as a regular GPS
Anyone can help?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

[Q] adb is not working, even in Emulator on the Galaxy Tab (P1000)

Okay here is the thing, I am a bit of an advanced user, and have been flashing ROM's for quite a while, so i am not a noob and I have already tried everything in the book to fix my problem.
Info:
1- Drivers installed on Windows 7 and have been working for the past 4 months.
2- USB Debugging ticked
3- Windows recognizes the Galaxy Tab 7" GSM (P1000 International)
Problem:
1-Running "adb shell" in adb results in: error: device not found
2-CWM Restore stops at android_secure.img not found and aborts.
How did it happen (Detailed):
1- Was on Overcome 2.0.1 "Hermes" and found out that there was an update on kies from someone.
2- Decided to restock
3- Flashed P1000JPJM5 (I already did that quite a few times and no problems ever occurred from that)
4- When i restocked i wanted to root, so i went into settings>Application>developement> and ticked USB Debugging
5- Plugged in USB and I opened up Super One Click Root v1.7 and hit Root, however, Nothing happened and it was "Waiting for device" forever.
6- tried Super One Click root v1.9 with the same result
7- Opened adb and typed "adb shell" and got error: device not found.
8- I downloaded Better Terminal app from the market and tried "adb shell" and i got "Adb not found" as a result
9- I wanted to root my device to use the Bootloader Batch and change my protected boot loaders
10- tried everything, Restore factory from 3e Recovery, Doing the same from Setting>Privecy, Flashing the same ROM Over and Over again with no luck
11- learned later that flashing ChainFire's Gingerbread P1000XXJMQ is safe on protected boot Loaders so i did that
12- the problem persisted and i just cant use adb
13- I had a CWM Backup done so i thought doing a restore might solve the problem, but that resulted in a failure in restore. it stops at android_secure.img not found and aborts restore.
If anyone kow's a solution or at least knows what might have gone wrong Please shed some light on how to go about this issue.
Thanks
While the device is plugged in, go to device manager and delete/uninstall the device. Should ask you if you want to delete the driver files also, check the box and go.
After that it will probably ask you to restart, restart the computer and reinstall the device with the google drivers.

Did you at least try what I suggested?
I can't get my galaxy tab to be seen by adb either. At least not since upgrading to Gingerbread.

[Q] SK4G not being recognized on PC

I originally posted this inside the Glorious Overdose V2 thread, but decided to post here as well.
For some reason my computer won't recognize my Sidekick when I plug it in via usb. I do have the samsung drivers installed and it will read my friends Samsung Droid Charge just fine, but when I plug my Sidekick in it comes up saying "USB Device Not Recognized". So far I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers from the device manager to no avail. Wondering if anyone has an idea as to what it could be. I've also tried googling the solution and everyone says to just uninstall and reinstall the drivers and it should work. Now the phone is not plugged into a USB Hub, extender, or case, it is plugged directly into a usb port on the mother board.
PC Specs just in case:
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
CPU - AMD FX-4100
Memory - 8GB DDR3 1066
Phone:
T-Mobile Sidekick 4G running Glorious Overdose V2
Nothing added just the rom and some apps/games.
I have tried with USB Debugging on and off, either way does not work.
Update: I have since tried Kies mini, as well as the drivers found on Softpedia. Neither of those worked, so I just got done reformatting and reinstalling Windows hoping that would work. At first it did not, right now I am running windows update to see if that was the issue, I'll update of what the outcome is.
Update: After installing all available Windows updates it's still not recognizing the phone. Now no matter what it's saying it's an Unknown Device. Even after I try and do a manual driver update and tell it to look in the folder with the driver files from Softpedia. I'm at a complete loss now.
If anyone has any idea's please let me know.
What mode do you have the phone in? Settings->Applications->USB Settings. It should be in Mass Storage if you want to access its SD Card.
Maybe put another rom on the sd card and flash something else, I don't think it would be a rom issue but it would be worth a try?

It's set to USB Debugging. But even then, it should read as something else other then Unknown Device when I plug it in. I have tried plugging it in and selecting Mass Storage, still comes up as Unknown Device.

I've thought about that, and from everything I can see it's either the ROM or the drivers. So we'll see...I'll probably try a different ROM and see what happens.
I suggest turning USB debugging off and mass storage on, for how you'll be using it. And recall that you have to change this stuff with the USB cable unplugged.
I've tried that, and after talking with the T2 Technical Support from Samsung for 45min today, the only option left is to send the phone in to get worked on. Though, I'm going into the T-Mobile store and see if they can't replace the phone or give me a loner while this one is out getting repaired.
More info request.

Thank you, I tried unpacking them to a folder on C:\ went into Device Manager, right clicked on the Unknown Device, Update Driver Software..., Browse My Computer for Driver Software, Set the search to C:\, and still saying Unknown Device is the best driver software for it. No idea why it's doing this.
Proper Driver Update
What is going on is that Windows is seeing a more recent signature file attached to the SK4G drivers on your computer (I don't believe anything at all is wrong with your device) than the working ones there.
First, in Add/Remove Programs, uninstall the Samsung Kies and Samsung Driver pack you installed earlier. Now...
Go into on your PC:
://windows/system32
And locate the same file names, cut them all, and paste them in a temporary folder you create, preferably on the desktop or something similar. You may not find every file, and that's okay, just the ones you can find. Next, you will be wanting to paste the driver files from the package I uploaded. Now, turn off Automatic Updates, so it doesn't automatically install drivers upon connection. Reboot the computer, double check and make sure Automatic Upates are off when you log back on. Now, connect the device and see if it gives you the same results. By removing the old drivers which don't work, you'll be able to force it to the ones we know work, and you /should/ have success. As well - USB data debugging active and activating connection for data transfer via the notification pulldown menu would be the best way to do this initially.
Would I be looking in c:\windows\system32\drivers for the same file names as the ones you packed up?
Ok, so the only one I could find in the drivers folder was modem.sys. But it will not let me move/replace the one that's already in there. It's telling me access is denied, same thing when I try and set the permissions it will not let me. I am logged in as an Administrator, as well it says it when I log in as THE Administrator account. So yeah...
Cool - modem.sys is a stock one that is shared with the device, so that's fine.
With the other two programs uninstalled, the old drivers uninstalled, and forcing it into those by pasting them into //win/sys32/drivers you should be in business. Hmm. You can try UnlockRoot.com's device rooter - I know they have an auto driver detector in their program. As well, you can try SuperOneClick, but I don't remember if they do or no. What about going in from the Recovery menu and toggling USB? Anything wierd going on in the /mounts? What about ADB shell access from the Android SDK on Windows?

I tried plugging the phone in, still showing up as Unknown Device. Tried UnlockRoot.com's program, no change. Installing the Android SDK right now, as well as I tried deleting the INFCACHE.1 file, and no change with that either. Once I'm done installing the Android SDK I'll redelete the INFCACHE.1 file and restart and try the phone again.
I did go in and check the mounts in recovery and they were set to:
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
Thank you for your help so far.
UPDATE: So after installing the Android SDK, deleting the INFCACHE.1 file, restarting, and then plugging the phone in, comes up and says the USB Device is Not Recognized. Then goes to search the preconfigured driver folders, and fails to install the driver for Unknown Device. And ADB Devices shows no devices as well(didn't think it would, but yeah).
UPDATE: So after using my friends phone as a conduit to throw the Stock Odexed KJ2 w/ Root(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328698) onto my SDCard and flashing that the phone seemed to go into a soft brick at pre-boot screen(where it says SAMSUNG T-Mobile blah blah blah). Mind you this would freeze before it was even able to get into recovery. So I took it into T-Mobile and they are doing a manufacturer warranty replacement. So hopefully this next phone will be able to connect to the computer and be read correctly.

Broken screen, need to get data off

OK, a friend of mine's girlfriend's daughter (insert Spaceballs joke) broke the screen on her One S. She wants him to get the data off her phone (likely pictures and whatever else). Does anyone know of a way to do this? The bootloader isn't unlocked, which apparently makes a difference. I've never touched a HTC device before, so I don't know if there are any quirks, but there seem to be.
Few windows programs( Android Manager, Android Commander) will let you access the sd card, and adb commands will do it too if you have usb debugging enable. Look like you are on stock recovery. Is been so long time since I use stock recovery that I do not remember if you can have the "usb mount" in there. When you plug the phone into computer, can you access the sd card?

No, hence the question. No offense, but if it was that easy, I wouldn't have posted this question...
It may not be booting up correctly or something, but without a working screen he can't tell. Or she may have a security code or pattern, which would prevent you from accessing the SD until it's unlocked. But either way, if the phone is booted up, you can't see the SD. And even if the stock recovery has a Mount USB option...well, the screen is busted, so he can't see that option or select it.
The only possibility I can see is if it can be booted into the bootloader, and do an ADB pull for whatever files she wants. But apparently to do an ADB pull (or for ADB to even recognize the device, according to him), the bootloader has to be unlocked first?
Android Manager will let you bypass the security as long as usb debugging is enable. Hard to tell. I had that problem with my friend phone, but he had the usb debugging enable. I wish that I could help you more - I know "that pain" of busted screen. Try that Android Manager. Is free - nothing to loose but time searching for it on xda. I forgot the link.

No MTP or PTP for Rooted Nexus 5?

I have a rooted Nexus 5. MTP and PTP refuse to work. Doesn't matter how I install/remove drivers or anything. I've tried every trick on the internet and no avail.
The PTP storage used to work when I didn't have root, so what's the deal?
Could this be due to my rooting process? To be honest, I don't remember how I rooted. I'm new to the Nexus scene, having come from a samsung device.
However, I was just having this issue with my older E4GT (GS2 variant) when running rooted/custom roms.
Now, I have a friend with a S4 who decided to get rooted/custom roms and is now having the same issues, except before, both his MTP and PTP worked!
I'm lost and losing hope for this stuff.

Is the device showing up under Device Manager (which would indicate that the driver is installed--see #2 here)? This is not a "root" issue. I've run rooted devices for over three years and have only had the problem in the early days with the Pandigital Novel. Have you used USBDeview to look at what you have for USB drivers and to make sure all drivers are being removed? Try another cable and another usb port. Some cables don't handle data, they just charge; cables are a variable in the process.

Yes, I've tried all three of those things. This seems almost to be mission impossible.
I am running rooted stock and my friend is running a new rom altogether. using different computers, but getting the same issue.
See, while I can get Fastboot and ADB to work without a hitch, I can't get PTP or MTP working AT ALL.
ADB and Fastboot seems to be the only thing people are focusing on, and that's not my issue... so It's even harder to find solutions online

So it does show under device manager? Have you right-clicked and updated driver? Step #2 in the link pointed to USB drivers rather than adb. Yes, adb Is the usual culprit, but I've seen quite a few reports of your problem lately. Usually, removing the drivers and allowing the PC to reinstall works. Have you tried wireless to transfer files--at least a temporary solution?
If you're interested (desperate enough) to do a factory reset, I'd recommend WUGS toolkit. It will wipe do backup everything. Revert to stock and unroot. Then root and install custom recovery.

Happened to me when i rooted the device with wugs. I think because I used the RAW drivers. Just uninstall adb android driver from device manager and all the other drivers that resembles the nexus on usbdeview, reboot . Then put again the usb in the pc , and you are ready to go

I have tried that too, but I end up with the same outcome. Same drivers I would normally have installed and give me no recognition of the device for file transferring.
Fortunately, knowing how this goes down, as it has happened before with me and my S2, I'm not desperate enough to factory reset. As I would ultimately reach the same issue.
I've been interested in wireless file transferring, but I much more prefer not having to upload the file to something like dropbox or manually setup a server. I'm more into the press-and-go (similar to the plug-and-go method... haha, get it?... made a funny there cause it relates to a cord ordeal) routine.
I haven't actively searched that route yet because I'm in hopes that there is a fix for this problem. I'll get to it if there really is no other choice. So, if there is a program that will allow me that ease of access, I'm open to suggestions!

Seeing this makes me question whether I'm confusing the purpose for each of these drivers or you haven't read what I wrote. However, our circumstances differ. I didn't root through conventional means of the toolkits, I just came across it through my search for driver issues. I have tried the method you are suggesting, as the toolkit driver installation steps take me through that step before I do anything else; but this doesn't work. I end up with the same outcome: Device is recognized and drivers are installed (if I allow windows to automatically search for them), but no PTP or MTP for any file transferring.
ok, silly question : Is it enabled on your android phone? under memory ->tap the 3 dots and you will see mtp/ptp try to uncheck and check.
Otherwise I don't really know anything u could do about it.
By using the NRT or toolkits to root, all of the pc's usb drivers were deleted and new/generic/universal ones installed to re-install custom recovery & achieve root. Go to Control Panel on the PC, do you see Portable Devices listing including the Nexus 5 ? Most likely, no - only Android Interface.
A simplistic approach that worked for me is to roll it back - if you are using PC running Windows OS, use System Restore to go back to a previous state to an earlier (earliest possible) time before - with the N5 disconnected. When the PC is restored, turn OFF USB debugging on the N5, connect via the OEM N5 cable - it should be recognized, then turn ON USB debugging if there are missing drivers - let Windows search & install.
At some point, N5 will be recognized as a Portable Device along wit Android Interface, and "Auto Play" would pop up, with full access to all the SD folders & files. Toggle MTP and PTP if necessary as it might install more drivers - you should be good to go.
Reboot the PC just to reconfirm that everything is back to normal, connect N5 and profit - enjoy.
If this work, please share & if it doesn't - please comment what didn't work.
The simplest and shortest way to connect google nexus5 with PC as MTP(Media device)
When I plugged it, there wasn't any yellow exclamation mark within Device Manager. So for me, the drivers were OK. But the device was not listed within my Eclipse DDMS. After a little bit of searching, it was just an option to change in the device settings. By default, the Nexus 5 USB computer connection is in MTP mode (Media Device).
What you have to do is:
Unplug the device from the computer
Go to Settings -> Storage.
In the ActionBar, click the option menu and choose "USB computer connection".
Then select Media device(MTP) or Camera(PTP) based on your requirement...
Plug the device and you should have a popup on the device allowing you to accept the computer's incoming connection..
I hope this will help!
