You sure? Which ones did you try?

I tried the one available in Asus official website.

You could try these drivers here. If nothing else, you can use ADB to transfer files, if that's your main concern.

Thanks :highfive:

It says "unknown device" after you installed those drivers?

unknown device > try to update the driver > FAIL
FYI: The issue occurred on 2 different computers with 2 different OSs .

In which section of a Windows Device Manager does the unknown device appear?

What do you think ?
And sorry for bothering you

It's no bother, just trying to help out.
Can you try to force install drivers? From the Device Manager, choose to update the driver software -> browse my computer for driver software -> let me pick of a list of device drivers on my computer -> and then choose one of the ones you see. Or even uncheck the compatible hardware box and look for a Generic USB driver. It's a long shot.

It did not work ( It said " the wizard couldn't find a better match for your hardware than software you currently have installed " although when I check for the current installed driver It said ' No driver Installed "
BUT:
I'm going to install a new OS bcuz I have issue with current one and try again but its late now in KSA ( 12 am ) so will do that tomorrow.
Thank you for your kind help. really appreciate that.
See you soon

That's weird. By going through that process, it should force Windows to install the drivers, even if they aren't compatible with the device. Although it's been a long while since I used XP, so I'm not really sure anymore what it's capable of doing.

That's not the problem here. OP says the drivers or any others aren't able to be installed to the device.

Exactly. Even after installing a fresh copy of XP, the issue persists :silly:
I'll try again and again until I fix the problem OR I break my PC

Hmm.. If it still says unknown device it shouldn't be a problem with the cable, since the computer can at least detect the device being connected.
I'll dig around when I get back home to my PC to see which driver I used to connect successfully.

here. its been a while since i did my tf101 first root, and a while since ive even used a windows computer, but i still had everything left on it. heres a link to the asus sync installer, the android usb drivers, adb, and fastboot executeables, and some other root **** that i cant remember what was for, kernel, and recovery blob i believe. nowmif these drivers dont get your device known on the windows machine then nothing will.
i'm pretty sure the google usb windows driver for adb connections is in there too. if not then you can just download the android-sdk for windows and install it from the <sdk>/extras/google/usb_driver/ directory.

[Help] Google Nexus 5 might be bricked

Heya. First things first:
My Google Nexus 5 is quite... Well bricked.
I've updated CarbonROM a couple of hours ago and since then the phone's been stuck on the Google Logo, as well as starting automatically after shutting it down.
Here's some specifications:
Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.5
ROM: Carbon. The version I updated to was CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140706-0428-hammerhead (Edit: For a strange reason, it didn't update to the latest version available.)
I've tried performing:
Reinstall of the same Rom
Factory reset
Following the many unbricking tutorials that require the computer to actually recognize the phone yet no "Nexus 5" appears... Actually nothing appears in devices other than my regular devices.
Phone has been already rooted (obviously) using tutorials here on XDA.
Please help :3

if no new devices appear in your device manager we cant yet do much for you. Get the phone recognised in fastboot or in recovery on any pc then restore stock rom or sideload new rom

Do you think I should get a new phone or maybe take it to a professional? I just can't get the pc to recognize it even though I have the drivers installed. (Although even if the drivers weren't installed it would still recognize it...)

The main problem in all these solutions is that the phone isn't even recognized by the computer. I'm pretty sure it's the computer's problem but you may never know. Tomorrow I'm retrieving my main rig and I'll post if that rig discovers my phone. If it does, it will make me happier than Columbus discovering America. It not, it will make my wallet really sad as I will be obliged to buy a new one.

Yup if the pc is not detecting the phone best is to try wid another usb cable and a different pc... let us knw tomorrow

Did you install those libraries properly?
Freshly baked from my Nexus 5

This universal ADB driver + this ADB and Fastboot pack always does the trick for me.
When you get either ADB or Fastboot working we can help you recover the device.

Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo - Few Q's

I just got this phone today. Its a good little phone for the price but Id like to try some other stock 4.4 kernels if possible.
I have rooted the phone and I can get into fastboot mode but fastboot.exe just hangs at waiting for device.
I think this is a driver issue as in device manager in windows I have "Android" listed with no driver. I have downloaded fastboot and adb drivers but this has not worked.
Is there another driver I need for this to work with a Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo?
Thanks.

Bump anyone?

I did it via vroot .

Question: how can i readd the clock & weather widget? I removed it from the homescreen and can't see it in the widget list. Only reset to factory?

Depends on your phone-revision.
If it's 890N, it's more or less not possible.

Tried every root app
ive tried every root option i know to root this phone 890n 4.4.4 and nothing works,cant even get it to connect to adb as it goes into fastboot mode only if you remove battery and plug usb in but it only says fastbootmode and no other options and when its like that adb cany see device, it does when phone switched on gives serial number. im stuck. Anyone had any luck yet or still no joy?

when you said you got into fastboot mode, did it just say fastboot mode or did it give you options? mine just says fastboot mode which is no good as it doesnt give options to start fastboot its because vodafone or coolpad have messed about with it that much its useless. ive just had a reply off coolpad americas as i sent email there didnt know uk address but they said there waiting for a reply from uk counterparts and then theyll sent me source code and other tools for phone.(we'll see if they do).
i thought bootloader was locked on these phones or is it because some have 4.4.4 firmware it cant be rooted as a lot with 4.4.2 firmware have confirmed root?

I dont have this phone anymore.
I never did manage to try other kernels etc

My friend has this phone, rooted via kingroot. Any custom roms (esp cyanogenmod) out for it? BTW, cant find any custom recovery, pls post links to them if you can find any thanks

2017 still main phone
Rooted it & took Gapps & everything off...still using it daily for surfing sessions.
Have the 7 version which is just as excellent...waiting for an easy root method, but I think they're being locked tight.
Would be nice to have an option in 'developer' section that pops up after 3 months & offers root...,....

[Q] Can't unlock the bootloader :(

Hello,
My mother just got a Sony Xperia M2, and I wanted to root it for her... Well, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, and it's way easier to do it !
I followed the tutorial from this website : Developer . sonymobile . com
I downloaded everything (I'm on Windows 8, I also got the extra stuffs to DL), and it was pretty fine until the "connect your device" part !
In the tuto, you should Turn off the phone, connect the USB wire to the computer, and then press Volume UP while you connect the phone in USB...
After that you need to select the drivers from Flashmode, I select the right folder, but it's not working ! It says that I don't have "Android ADB Interface" or thing like that. So, I can't update the drivers, and can't complete the unlocking !
From the official video (that I can't link or past) they gave on the website, my problem starts at 4:20
Do you have an idea please ??
Thanks !

First of all, before trying to flash anything it is better to check if the phone connects fine while running normally. Download PC Companion if you don't have it already (it's a nice app anyway, you may need it), run it, connect the phone via USB and see if it gets recognized. Then you will need to enable the USB Debugging for ADB access:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-enable-USB-debugging-on-Android_id53909
After that check with Flashtool if it gets recognized with the phone on. Then I'm not sure anymore, but don't you need to hold the volume key(s) BEFORE connecting the phone to the USB to enter flash modes?

Use flashtool from this link :http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
After installing it, install Drivers from <Installed Dir>/flashtool/drivers folder.
If you don't know, select all platforms.
May be you need to disable "driver signature check" for win 8.
Tutorial here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095087
Try with flashtool, it should work now.

Thank you, the only solution was this thing ! "Disable driver check" was it !
And in order to be clear (maybe for people who will need help too), I deleted/disabled the drivers of the Xperia M2 from the computer. So it was like I plugged the phone for the FIRST time again. The computer wants to install drivers, just Cancel, and right-clic -> Install (or update) drivers, and you're done ! !
MY BOOTLOADER IS FINALLY UNLOCKED ! Thank you really !

To get into download mode you need make sure phone is 100% powered off then hold the volume up button and then plug in the usb cable. Dont release the power up button until the phone is fully in download mode not just the first screen. Also search for your phones adb drivers and install them to your pc not just the usb drivers. Make sure to uninstall any existing drivers first.

Did you try another pc with the adb drivers installed to see if you get the same error? If it connects on a different pc try this on the problem pc.
Open task manager
Click on the Hardware tab
Click the Device Manager button.
Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers section.
Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
Restart the computer, and allow the computer to reinstall the USB controllers.
Plug in the your phone in download mode and test to to see if the issue is resolved.
You can also download Ccleaner and fix any registry errors for free. I've used it for years and it works really well.
Still no joy. Try a system restore on your pc sounds like the device management could be screwed up.
All kinds of funky sh*t can happens when a pc crashes. You said you have windows 10 as a last resort you can do a system refresh which reinstalls the os but keeps your files.

Everything you need can be found here in the LG G Stylo forums and if it's not here a google search will help.
You need...
MetroPCS 5.1.1 KDZ
LG drivers
LG Flash Tool
Download the KDZ. Install the LG drivers while you wait for the 1.2GB KDZ to be downloaded. Download the LG Flash Tool and when the KDZ has completed downloading run it as an administrator. Settings in Flash Tool should be fine. Point to the KDZ and begin the flash. Normal or CSE. Normal does not wipe data, CSE wipes all user data. You'll be prompted with something about your internet connection. Do not close this, the tool should be flashing the KDZ. Wait for the phone to be rebooted after flashing. Profit.

I had the same problem once the device connected as download mode.
The kdz tool doesn't detected and crashed all the times. But miracle happens I kept playing(open&close)the kdz tool app. Somehow it detected and flash the kdz.

Android Studio was a bust still unable to find my device even with the code to direct information to the only USB device connected

I was under the impression that the phone was entering dl mode but just not getting recognized by the pc. Either or you should bring it to a corporate store and tell them it boot looped while updating and play dumb. They should replace it since its under warranty. Or call lg and do it that way although its about a ten day wait.
