ive posted this in a couple threads looking for help. No answers. Anybody with knowledge of this please help me...lol
My vibrant is soft bricked. I can access 2e recovery but cannot get into CWM at all. I dont even have the update.zip in my internal. I can get into download mode but odin will not recognize my device. (believe me when I tell you Ive tried it all on multiple computers using different cables, usb slots, etc.). I actually fell asleep at my desk last night trying it all. My question is, can I somehow access the internal storage of my vibrant through my pc possibly ? In order to place the cwm update.zip in the root folder then enabling me to "reinstall packages" through 2e recovery ?
Any help is much appreciated. This is killing me.
Dumb question, but do you have another phone/device which uses microSD cards? Could you simply swap the microSD and copy it?
Or does the update.zip need to specifically be stored in the internal storage?
Also, not wanting to second guess you or anything, but which driver did you install for Odin?
No questions dumb and yeah i've tried that. The update definitely has to be on the internal
ive installed and uninstalled and reinstalled numerous drivers. Starting with the ones posted throughout xda
have you tried reinstalling the drivers?
yeah ive tried everything on different comps with different os' from xp to vista. Even my macbook pro with windows 7 running on parallels desktop and nothing with odin. Mind you ive used odin before succesfully on the same comp im having problems with now. I gave up on that idea. Im trying to see if i can access the internal storage via the pc with me only being able to get into recovery and download mode

+1 Also, do you have Kies Mini installed? I've found that the driver installed alongside Kies works well.
Also, have you tried Heimdall? It's an open-source alternative to Odin. Might be worth a shot.
i had kies but im not familiar with it at all. Same with heimdall. I went through some guides but I was so frustrated at that time it was like reading binary code
Do you have adb installed on your computer?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I downloaded and installed the sdk from there. Is there something more I should have also ?
Still looking into it, but I'd say your best chance of success might be through adb in recovery.
Thats what I want to do but I know very little when it comes to adb. Ive dealt with it in on the G1 but im not too familiar with it. Can you help with that ?
reminder I can only get the download mode and recovery 2e running not clockwork or 3e or any of that
Ok, think I might have a procedure ready. Just a sec.
I cant thank you enough for even trying to help me. I know this is a pain
No problem. So you do have adb setup?
I do but my comp isnt detecting my phone at all

Yikes. Ok, so if you boot into recovery and plug the phone in, running "adb.exe devices" doesn't list anything?
I run adb.exe but it flashes a cmd prompt on my screen quickly then disappears
i just opened SDK manager and it needed to update and install packages. Sooooo thats what its doing now

Ok, go to Start Menu, Run and type cmd.exe
Type "cd" followed by the directory in which the SDK is installed. For me, this is
"cd C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
Then type "adb.exe devices"
"adb.exe is not recognized as an internal or external comman, operable program or batch file"
wtf
im going to uninstall the sdk and reinstall it. Maybe i didnt do something right
I have looked at all the other problems that people have been having, but it appears that nobody else has had this, I feel like a special NooB..
Ok, coming from my Droid Eris, got the Razr last night and it has
6.11.744XT912... It is trying to update, but I havent installed it yet, most likely 748 or newer... However, I don't think this is a phone problem...
I have followed all the simple steps for Doomlord's, Zergrush... To the best of my knowledge. clicked on ADB application and it disappears so fast, I must assume it installed ADB drivers... I orginally was directed to Moto's site for their drivers and it installed 5.4 x64 drivers, have since uninstalled it and found a link with 5.2 drivers to see if that was causing it....
what happens is this... I press any key to continue and I get
--- STARTING ---
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE
The system cannot find the path specified.
And For EVERY line of code there after as well....
This is seriously getting to me now, I have the phone plugged in, in Charge Only Mode... proper debugging and unknown sources selected... but WTF?!?
Anyone have an idea? I know its gotta be something simple..
Brynn
not sure what kind of computer you have, but have you tried the 32 bit drivers?
I tried installing my Razr's 64 bit drivers the other day and couldn't get my computer to recognize it. I then remembered from modding my previous phone (Droid 1) that I needed the 32 bit drivers. Installed those and connected to my Razr no problem.
I am running Windows 7 x64, with an I7-2600k....
I can try the 32bit drivers and see if that makes a difference...
Ok, just tried it, uninstalled the 5.2 driver and took the link to Moto USB Drivers and downloaded the MotoHelper and Driver 5.4.0... It did not give me a choice of 32 or 64 bit.... I did see it install the ADB drivers too.... But atlast, still no change.....
This so makes me wish I had gotten the Nexus last night....CM9 ICS is calling me.... will feel so much better when I get something on this phone that I can use until the ICS update OS comes out.... (any ROMS available now for it? used to CM7 on my Eris..) Don't really want to start uploading apps and such until this is rooted and updated...
Possible solution
I had been having the same issue, then I found a post in a thread that stated to change the USB connection setting to Mass Storage by pulling down the notification tray after plugging the phone into your computer. Worked fine for me that way.
nope, no dice.... I have tried that in every setting within the past 16hrs... PC mode didnt help, and just tried USB Mass Storage again.... since I just reinstalled the drivers... it did install the drivers as I switched modes, but still no change....
Ok.. just so you all can hide the fact that you might just be as big a NOOB as I feel at the moment....
I have figured out why I am getting this error.... apparently my phone is already ROOTED!!!!.... I downloaded Root Explorer and Root Browser and it seems to work with no errors....
Nice Huh!
Hi everyone, i hope to find a solution writing there, since i'm kinda desperate about my situation.
So, i got this telephone, a s2 I9100g, but only the day after i noticed the browser was in chinese. Looked up a bit better inside and i found it is a chinese version of the telephone (original one, but made for chinese market).
So i tryed to pull in an original rom, but it failed; i found a guide to how to fix this problem, and become able to flash the italian rom on it.
Basically, i followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702479%22 I did all the steps using the CHN version of the bootloader and.. i know, i was so stupid there, but since it got stuck at NAND writing (i did not see the progress bar after 15 minutes), i simply unplugged the cable.
Well, after that the phone didn't enter reset/download mode, but it started showing the yellow phone---!---pc screen, with wrote above "software update fail", and something else in chinese.
There is what i tryed to do:
-Flash another rom (tryed 2) with different versions of odin, 1.3,1.6 and 3.07.
odin does recognize the telephone with the drivers installed, but if i start it, it gets stuck at setup connecting phase and failing after. Same with all versions.
-use OneClickUnbrick, i tryed to start it normally and from CMD.
with the drivers which odin and windows use to recognize the telephone (last ones available on samsung website), it says "usb drivers are not properly installed attempting to install drivers". So, it starts Zadig. I follow the steps there, and the installation completes succesfully. But at this point, when i plug in the telephone windows recognizes it but fails installing the device with drivers, and odin doesn't recognize it at all, while oneclick keeps showing the "usb drivers are not properly installed" window, time after time even if i keep reinstalling with success the drivers using Zadig.
-delete everything and install Kies.
none of the programs above does see the telephone now, neither windows.
Tryed to follow the steps i did before after having it installed, nothing changed.
Every of this tryes, i did the following "changes":
-removing and inserting the battery
-changing usb port
-changing cable
-changing computer
-trying to enter reset/download mode by holding vol up/down+mid button+power
Would be enough to make odin go over the setup connecting phase, or kies to recognize it, or OneClick to stop showing the window about drivers.
I read that seems i'm in a hard brick case, but since the phone is seen by odin and windows and the battery does recharge, i got still a bit of hope.
Thanks
Click the link in my signature, there's more troubleshooting steps to try. You've done a few but not all of them.
I would usually say that pulling out the cable leaves you with no hope, but you seem to have gotten a little lucky. Don't hold your breath though.

Tryed all the steps.
Nothing changed.
You can either keep trying or take to a service centre & pay to have it fixed *shrugs*
Hey I'll spare the story but basically I've softbricked/bootlooped my S4 in a way I have many times and fixed easily, however now I can't. Basically I tried to launch a bad ROM; same one thats failed me multiple times, stupid to try again but I've fixed this exact problem with this ROM before many times by flashing back to stock with Odin. The problem is my family computer was recently reformatted so I lost Odin, Kies, Drivers, anything I was using before. I redownloaded all those things only now none of them are working properly... When I load up Odin like I always have with my phone in download mode of course, select the tar and run. Only now it recognized a device is connected and I get a COM:03 or whatever but when I hit run it basically goes nowhere and just says "all threads complete completed 0 failed 0" or sometimes "completed 0 failed 1" can someone tell me what these messages are trying to tell me? I though maybe it was cuz I hadn't installed Kies but Kies says my device isn't responding, which I was told could be cuz I have a custom bootloader and my phone needs be 100% for Kies to recognize it but I feel like it used to recognize it with the custom loader. Maybe not. I also tried updating the windows USB drivers but everything was up to date. My computer makes a noise when I plug my phone in and charges it but can't be viewed in windows file explorer. Maybe that's cuz I'm in download mode.
I don't understand why it isn't working but I think its my computer. It's software is the only variable thats changed, I'm doing everything exactly as I used to. I think one of the many components to make this work isn't lined up properly and I don't know what it could be at this point. And PLEASE no answers like "did you check the USB port?". . . yes of course I checked the USB port, yes I'm in download mode, yes my cable works, redownloaded every program in multiple firmware versions. those are the only answers I've been able to find on this topic and none of them get me anywhere.
Can someone tell me what is different on my computers end now? As I've said, I've done this successfully 100 times on my computer before doing exactly what I'm now it just isn't working after the harddrive reset so I assume something has to be wrong on the computers end.
I have a VZWJFLTE SCH-I5454 galaxy s4 and I'm trying to boot back to stock (4.4.2 NC5 found on galxys4root.com).
i have a sky elite 5.0LW with lollipop that wont boot past the splash screen. i have the boot.img, but i cant get the phone recognized thru windows or mac. when i connect to windows, it goes thru the process of installing drivers for it, so its recognized. but adb turns up nothing. ive read just about everything ive come across to get this to work. ive tried 6/7 cables, installed programs, installed drivers, used USBDEVIEW to delete drivers and then re-installing them. used different computers-windows and mac. im not real familiar with using mac for this. ive never had so much trouble with ADB. the phone wont go into bootloader thru the phone recovery options, it just re-starts the phone. im at a loss. im hoping someone with more experience with this issue can help me out. this has me frustrated and determined me at the same time!
