[Q] Urgent Help

Hi Guys,
Have literally spent 8 hours trying to fix this damn phone, it's my mothers which needs a complete wipe using the stock rom. Even my younger brother had a go for a week and has been passed on to me. Not touched an Android phone in about two years so very rusty with the whole roms and flashing etc.
The main issue is I can't get Windows 8.1 to see the phone in USB wether it be plugged directly in Android, USB debug, bootloader or Fastboot USB. I have installed ADB with all the drivers, tried multiple HTC drivers and HTC Sync, PDAnet, AMD chipset drivers, USB controller drivers, random drivers from here on XDA as well as a multitude of other sites. Tried USB 3.0 and 2.0 (front and back slots).
How am I supposed to flash a custom recovery without the computer seeing the phone? If I can just get that sorted I am pretty much set with getting the stock rom on there and the rest. Not sure what my brother has put on it or if he has flashed a custom rom or changed the radio/boot because I have no clue what the phone is supposed to be running.
Please some help here, don't really want to be spending more time on this.

I'm not sure how to help you, because i don't even know, if your phone boots to OS or not.
There are some apps out like flashify or TWRP Manager which should be able to flash a recovery from OS, but i never used that tools and don't know, if they work with One SV.
You should really get your fastboot working. I don't have windows 8(.1), but there are many threads here on xda about that.
Other solution could be to search for someone with a windows 7 pc.

Yes the phone does boot into the OS but again is not properly recognized, PDAnet and HTC Sync find the phone but doesn't show up or in ADB. I have checked well over 30 threads on here regarding Windows 8.1, downloading various tools and drivers etc without success.
Will check out those links.
Thanks.

[solved] adb not recognising phone in fastboot(download) mode

Hello All
I have had to reinstall stock(sm-g930f) due to an own stupid(again) mistake.
The OS is reinstalled and working and now I would like to flash Magisk through ADB. ADB recognises the phone by "adb devices" when in normal mode. When in fastboot (download mode) it does not recognise the phone. All it states is: List of devices attached
Can someone help me to overcome this, or if you have another suggestion to flash Magisk?
Edit:
after searching for a long time I read somewhere:
Do not put phone in download(fastboot) mode, only in charging mode when connected to the PC's motherboard USB port. Works flawless since, with having the relevant ADB drivers installed.

Adb is adb.
Fastboot is fastboot.
For adb, you need adb binaries.
For fastboot, you need fastboot binaries.

I have downloaded these and and haven't had any luck. Is there a detail how-to somewhere?

Probably because you didn't have drivers installed.
You need to find the specific drivers for your device model and install it.
Good luck.

Here is the download for samsung usb drivers: https://developer.samsung.com/mobile/android-usb-driver.html
Install it and reboot.
If it doesn't work, probably you have any problem in your device manager.
I'm an user linux and I hate windows.
Good luck google'ing it.

Im having the same problem. i don't want to use the adb setup thing becuase its a virus so yeah.

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

Thanks, I have just enabled it thru OEM unlocking option in the developer menu and logged-in at my MI account as well.
Though, USB debugging is enabled, my PC here is unable to detect the phone.

adb cant find 4g Adas Mirror, any help pls.

Hi!
This is my first post here, I hope I won't make many mistakes and troubles...
A friend of mine asked me to help him with his car Android based mirror.
The mirror is a "4G Adas Mirror" which is now stucked on the boot screen/logo.
Android version on the device is 8.1.
I've tried to reset through the hard reset button, without success.
I tried to connect the device on my PC to try to get access with adb, no success.
Adb cant see the device, the device list is empty.
When I check in the device manager on my PC I can see under "Portable Devices" installed,
with the name "MTP USB Device".
I also downloaded several drivers but can't install them, not for my device.
And now I'm out of ideas.
If somebody have any idea what could I still try to bring back the device into live, I would really appreciate.
Thank you.
Btw.:
My PC is running win10 x64 Pro

You're probably stuck with only the MTP interface (and not a composite device with MTP and ADB) but it might be worthwhile to double check.
Is the MTP interface active? Can you see any files in Windows File Explorer?
You can check with UsbView.exe to see if there is only one interface, the MTP.
The next step is to try various buttons on boot to see if you can get to recovery, fastboot or ROM bootloader.

Thanks for the fast replay, I cant access the device throug any file manager, as you mentioned, I checked with UsbView.exe already, just to be sure.
The MTP is active.
I've tried many many times the switch combination with the reset button, to try to get into any recovery or whatever cmd line mode, but without success.
The device hase only two buttons:
1. Power button
2. Reset button

Well, there's many ways to skin a cat.
If you open it up there could be a UART with a rooted hardware console.
There could be pushbuttons or test points to get into some other mode.
Good photos will tell us.

So, here we are....
the mirror crashed until I tried to open it.
However, if somebody is interested to hack and poke around this device, I'm familiar to open the device,
make schematics, pictures and try to hack into the device to try to make it alive again.
If somebody is willing to be a part to this pls. let me know and let's get started.

Open it up and take photos.

I'm trying and searching for a way how to open it but not fully crack the mirror, which is actually also a monitor...
I hope I will open the device soo and be back...
