thanks. I was finally able to get it to be seen (for the first time ever on my windows 7 machine) by booting to web OS and going in/out of dev mode a few times.

Hi, i have a huge problem, my sgs3 won't show up in ubuntu, seams like the version of ubuntu doesnt matters, neither the rom... So im using the latest rom from paranoid android 1.7.8a and mounts great in windows. i dont have access to a windows computer right now since im on a vacation. Are any one else having the same problem? and/if there is a solution please share.
I have same problem
It has to do with android file system
I tried couple of solutions available around but none helped so used windows
If any one knows how to connect it will be helpful
I too have this issue, so I use FTP to transfer file back and forwards. Filezilla on my unbuntu netbook and rapfox on the phone.
hth.
Thank you!

Just saw your answer, will try that out, thank you.
Anyone using CM10.1 managed to use DriveDroid? I'm trying to boot Ubuntu but Windows just say that I need to format the driver, I don't know if it's a CM related, MTP or my issue :cyclops:

Don't look at what Windows thinks of the disk. Windows doesn't recognize the structure of the disk, so it suggests to format it.
What does matter is whether your bios recognizes the disk as bootable. The structure of the disk is usually not the problem if you downloaded the image from DriveDroid: it is the same as anyone else downloading the image. If booting from your phone does not work it usually has something to do with timing/the software on your phone (ROM/kernel). If you indeed can't boot from your phone, I'd suggest to do the following:
Go to preferences of DriveDroid.
Turn off UMS and turn it back on again.
Reboot your phone.
See whether that helps. It worked for some people, but it doesn't have a 100% successrate.

Same here. Really disappointing it doesn't work. I can't tell you how often I thought about boot an image from my phone. In fact, I think I posted the question on XDA a few years ago.
Hey guys, developer here. A few things that might help:
The ISOs that are in DriveDroids downloadlist are all hybrid. This means they are specially crafted to be compatible with USB as well as CD. This is great, because at the moment Android devices only correctly emulate USB drives.
When selecting such an image, Windows will show it as an USB disk. However, Windows does not recognize the format that is used on the disk, because it's hybrid. Therefore Windows suggests to format the disk with a filesystem that Windows recognizes (FAT or NTFS). Do not do this, it'll just blank out the image, which isn't what you want.
Bioses however should be able to recognize the USB disk as a bootable one.
The USB-disk emulation is what in Android is called UMS (USB Mass Storage). On oldish devices this was used to share the SDcard with the PC. DriveDroid uses the same mechanism, but not on the SDcard, but on files (ISO/IMG). Downside is that this mode isn't by default enabled on modern devices, so you usually have to switch from MTP (the system in use to share SDcard in modern devices) to UMS. Such an option is available in DriveDroids menu. However on some devices this switch does not work correctly atm. I have no idea why, but from others I have heard that you can make the option work on these devices. You'll have to rapidly switch the UMS option on and off and end with UMS being on. It *should* popup on your PC when you have a USB cable plugged in. For others it helped to reboot the phone too, but I'm not too sure why this works.
Hopefully that helps solve the problems.

Funny you suggested this. Last night while trying to make it work (thinking the image didn't download correctly the first time), I did the same thing.

Oh were you also one of the people who send me a support email about this by any chance? I learned about this from those.
In any case, good to hear another confirmation on the method. It's weird, since I'm not too sure why this works yet (it just enables and disables UMS on my device), but I'll put something in the next version to emulate the same behavior.

No, I didn't send the report. I tried it on a whim, but didn't it work.
When I plug my phone in to my laptop the laptop crashes with blue screen... I was trying to root it with the one click method. I downloaded the casu program and updated java. Now when I plug my phone in to start the process it crashes the laptop. Please help. Thanks.

I'm no expert, but your OS might be important information. What are you running and was the phone interfacing with the laptop before you started?
Major driver issues?

I can't find help anywhere...
It's beyond me, I've seen and had plenty of issues trying to get ADB working with Android and windows, once I had to install Linux to get things to behave correctly. But a straight up crash like that is out of my league...You could try everything from scratch with a Linux distro?
I have slicked my computer running windows 7 while trying to get ADB working, to try and resolve issues that I probably created blindly poking around. They're some drastic ideas, but I'm pretty sure the issue is with your OS and not with the phone.
Have you tried all usb ports? Different cable?
Check the Windows event viewer for errors in the system or application logs, or maybe try a selective startup in Windows.

So I got this gtab for free. Just the tablet and round power cord. Turns on into CM recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 and no operating system. I tried loading a rom from the usb and micro sd card. Plugged it into my win 10 pc via the mini usb and it tells me it's unreadable, or something. Does not show on windows. Could the problem be that I don't have the cable that goes into the bottom or did someone go delete happy and ruin something?
Make sure youbhave the drivers and try to load the correct ROM for the bootstrap you have. 1.1 or 1.2

You can definitely load from a PC. They have a program called Odin to load the ROMs located in the dev section. Or you can load one via the sc card. Just search through this section. Its all there.
Most people have moved on from the gtab so support will be pretty limited.
It doesn't read a micro SD, usb, or mini usb, plus my comp won't recognize it. So how can I load something onto it? I have read a lot of posts but none have helped. I don't care about support, just figured I'd get it running and give it to my niece.
is have asked in many forums but didn't got anything working.
so the whole story is, I own a Windows tablet from 2015 or something. recently I tried to install android x86 on it just for fun. I installed the BlissOS 14 x86 version and it ran great only that the tablet is overheating a lot and reboots. Now I want to go back to windows but what's going on is that the tablet is not detecting the windows bootable USB drive, it is only detecting the android bootable USB drives. every time I try to boot a windows USB it goes back to bios. i tried dozens of windows bootable tools and even changed between a bunch of drives nothing is working. please guys help me, I want my windows tablet back.
Update: I'm sorry to all who brainstormed on this, I am an IDIOT. I was trying to boot 64-bit windows into the 32-bit processor. Now everything works fine, Sorry Again.
What tablet is it?

Use Rufus software(https://rufus.ie/) to create bootable USB.
Bro,
Try Rescartux !
Burn it into a USB drive, then booting it!
Find a menu that "fix boot-stuff for windows"
Try every menu related to fixing windows Boot!
If that didnt give a Budge, U could try HirenBoot .
