I am an experienced user an it is not a driver's problem (I have already reinstalled drivers and changed USB cables). If it helps, I am on stock 4.4.4 rooted.
I don't know if anyone has ever had the same problem and can give a hint! Thanks a lot!

Try to switch USB port in PC, reinstall your android (complete wipe of system, then reinstall it). Or maybe your windows is causing this problem.

Cable or port issue. USB port on phone, computer or cable.

Thanks, but I have already tried on multiple PCs,multiple ports and multiple cables. I don't know if it can be a sofware problem that a wipe or change of ROM can solve :/

I experienced the same issue yesterday when I tried to flash Lollipop on my Nexus5.
Using the original USB cable that came with the Nexus did the trick.

Try turning USB Debugging on Dev Options. It might help.

Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 - Russian Lolilop update?

Hey guys,
So I got my hands on a Note Pro collecting dust and wanted to update it.
I believe its originally a Russian device.
I have no sim card installed and OTA will not work (gets server errors)
The US 5.1.1 OTA update fails out and I noticed the CSC-code it is looking for is SER
Oh yeah, Odin won't detect the device. Keis is useless and the new Smart Switch doesn't help much either
I think I need a Russian version of the update. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been hunting all day and can't find much.

If your device is rooted ota will not work(use root checker on play store to confirm) therefore, we will use the odin way. The software being russian or not does not matter as we are using odin now...for odin to get the device to recognise is to do:
1: check connecting your device to your pc with different usb cable.
2:Try changing usb ports
3:Re-install samsung usb drivers
4: Reply and tell me if the operating system of your pc is windows 7 or not.
5:Go into developer mode (activate it by pressing the build number of your device in phone settings) then turn usb debugging option on..........Though not sure but may work!
6: Hit the thanks button!!

The device is not rooted.
All stock and reset.
Tried different ports
Already reinstalled drivers.
Debugging mode is on
Odin doesn't recognize.
Using Win 7
For some reason, Odin saw it out of the blue. Never restarted my computer. Used the same port.
Got it updated

In case it happens again go to driver manager from control panel and see if the icon for the note pro has a caution sign if it does then you you should click the uninstall driver option and then right click anywhere and click the scan for hardware option. this has happened to me as well and I did this amd it recognizes my note pro instantly.check it out. Thank you for reading my post.

Totally n00b question - from not-a-n00b

I just received the Pixel 2. Connected it to a Windows 10 box. Windows installed Microsoft drivers. I can't install Google drivers because Winblows says that the best drivers for my device are already installed. So I open an Explorer window, and there's the Pixel 2. I open that and it's a totally blank window. No, it's not the phone - ES shows directories in internal storage. (To make sure, I took a picture. It's in /DCIM/Camera.)
Enable debugging. Enable unlock. adb devices. No devices.
Okay, manually reboot to the bootloader. (The last line is Device State: locked) Fastboot sees the device.
fastboot boot twrp.img (I renamed it to make it easier). "FAILED (remote: Operation is not allowed in Lock State)"
I've owned Samsungs for so long I forgot that there were other manufacturers. What am I doing wrong? (I know it's got to be me, not the phone.)
How do I force Windows to replace the drivers (or do I really have to boot into Linux?) And how do I get the thing unlocked? Yes, I googled it. I searched here. I'm still stumped.

Maybe try this all in one tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3730228

Then check this out:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-walleye-t3702417

flashing unlock did it. Thanks. Now to see if I can install everything (TWRP, Magisk, etc.) then a day of reinstalling all my apps and data.

Okay, TWRP and Magisk installed - thank you. Now only one thing is driving me crazy - plugging the Pixel into the PC doesn't show the Pixel. I hear the USB recognizing the phone, Device Manager sees the phone, but I can't find it as a drive, so I can copy data to it.
Oh, and when it's time to update to the next monthly, do I have to back my data up, flash stock, restore my data and reinstall Magisk? Or how does it work every month with a Pixel? (One update says it failed - I'm on the January update.)

To get your device to show up you have to pull the notification shade down and then change the device mode to mtp storage mode. As for updating to new security patchs I usually just use the factory image from Google and the flash-all script with the -w option removed in order to keep my data. Then flash my kernal and magisk.

I already had it set - I guess unlocking the bootloader resets it.

It resets Everytime you disconnect the device or reboot for some dumb reason. It gets annoying.

Maybe in an update far away ...

Hi, I may be wrong and silly. I want you to check this option when you connected your mobile to PC.
As in attached screen shot when you connect your mobile to pc there will be a notification "Android system" (Not USB debugging connected one) click it and will provide you options screen "Use USB to.." from there select "Transfer files" option instead of "charge this device"

Question ROG phone 5s not recognized in fastboot mode, but ADB works... Windows driver issue?

Hi All,
I bought a ROG phone 5s (ZS676KS) direct from ASUS and I've been trying to root it all week. The firmware version is WW_18.1220.2111.160.
So far, I have been able to unlock the bootloader using Asus' app. My phone displays the unlocked bootloader warning on every boot.
I can't make fastboot work... the "adb reboot bootloader" command does work. I can also boot using the power + volume up button. But the "fastboot devices" command always comes up empty.
I found two possible reasons why fastboot doesn't work. So far I failed to fix either one.
First, the "OEM unlocking" option is missing in my developer options menu. I have the "USB debugging" option checked off. But many of the guides I read online say to allow OEM unlocking and I can't do that. But I've also seen people say that it doesn't matter. So, I don't know if this is a real problem. I can't find any reference to this problem except in Samsung phones. I tried the recommended fix but it didn't work.
Second, something's wrong with the fastboot driver on my computer. When get my phone into fastboot mode and plug it into the computer, device manager shows a device called "ASUS_I005D" with an orange caution icon on it. The error message in the properties menu says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (code 28)". This is probably the real problem.

Windows isn't finding a driver with its online driver search. I spent a few hours playing with Windows drivers to no avail. But maybe I missed something. I did find "ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20150212" online and it didn't help.
I have tried different wires and USB ports and I'm using the side port of the phone instead of the bottom (although I tried the bottom port too). I tried another computer and that didn't work. But this was before I realized what was happening with windows drivers so I didn't check the device manager. I'm away from home now so I just have access to the one computer for now.
Does anyone know where I can find the correct driver? Or is there another approach I haven't considered? I hope there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the phone. I kind of just bought it without explicitly verifying, assuming the 5s is rootable since the 5 is...
Thanks Everybody,

Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.

It's not your device but likely Win 10 playing games with you. First completely uninstall the device driver to clean things up. Reboot your pc into Safe Mode. Plug in your phone from the side connector with a good data capable USB cable. From Device Manager choose "Add Legacy Hardware" from the menu and point the location to where you have saved the latest official Android USB drivers and install. Reboot Windows normally. If things have gone well, you should be able to both ADB & Fastboot into your device.

What a relief.
I am now able to flash my patched boot.img.
Thanks to both of you. I'm off to the races...

For me I just get a Ubuntu iso, boot your computer off a USB stick, install adb and fastboot via apt, and boom, no crappy drivers needed

lost my password on Nikon camera with android system

I have recently found my old Nikon S800c, unfortunately i have forgotten the password i have set years ago. The camera has no volume buttons and seemingly no way to get to a bootloader to factory reset it. I've searched through the internet and i cannot find any way to reset/recover my device.
basically lost password of old Nikon s800c with no volume button, usb debugging off and runs android 2.3.3

If there is a way to flash its firmware, flashing the firmware might remove the password.

I just did, it didn't change anything about the android side of things
When you boot up, you are basically using it as a normal digital camera, then you can enter the android side of the device, which i forgot my password of
Here is a more recent video i found which went over how it worked

1. There's no way to enter recovery mode as it doesn't have a volume button
2. It doesn't have a wifi connection and can't connect to one without putting in the password
3. The droidkit thing wont work as it needs the device brand
4. Usb debugging isn't on so i can't use Android sdk tools

How about Universal Hard Reset Tool? Edit: I think that needs usb debugging too….

It wouldn't work either way as it doesn't detect as an phone on my pc, only as a storage device
