Root 2.2.3 without pc? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well... I have a OG Droid 2.2.3. Whenever I connect it to my windows 7, it shows up as "device has malfunctioned, device.. unknown" everytime. I have tried reinstalling drivers, etc but the Computer never recognizes it as a Motorola device.
Also, my phone doesn't charge when the phone is on and connected to the pc, but when the phone is connected to the PC and I turn the phone off, it charges (but then it wont turn on unless I disconnect it).
Also, whenever it is connected, it never shows the USB icon/ or anything in the notification bar. So, I havent been able to root it yet. I have tried on 3 other computers (XP, 7, 7) and 3 other USB cables. Same results.
I want to root my Droid 2.2.3, I have tried z4root app, but it doesn't support 2.2+
How can I root my Droid without a PC, can I use terminal, etc and do it on the phone itself?

edit: just re-read what you typed sorry mate cant help
Tapped from a modded GS2

Tried it. This is all I get in device manager: I don't get any usb mass storage devices, or anything. I get 1 Unknown device, which if I try to manually update with Motorola drivers, Windows tells me they are incompatible and it doesnt install

your best bet is superoneclick 2.3.3. (just look it up or go to shortfuse.org) i got it to work beautifully on my moms phone. plus it works on 2.3.3 (no duh! lol). terminal emulator may work.... but what is the model under your "about phone." im not familiar with the "og droid" and im getting conflicting results searching for it... is it the droid one by motorola?
and uninstall the "unknown device" drivers, reboot your machine, and run the driver installers as administrator
update: what sucks is, if you were already rooted, adbwireless and ftpdroid could solve all of your problems, assuming you have wifi at home.............
i have an idea, post a link to the motorola drivers you have, and ill see if they install over here. if so, its a computer problem for sure. if not, then you probably need to get them somewhere else. (dont know why the source would have sucky drivers when other places wouldnt, but there's no harm in trying.

Tried your suggestion. Nothing. Still getting device is unrecog/has malfunctioned.
Its the Motorola Droid 1 on 2.2.3
Come on. There HAS to be a way to root it or install a custom rom without a computer! Ahh

Sorry. The only two ways I know how to root 2.3.3 and up use comp. Best Bet is fixing your connection with computer right now. Sorry. Try asking customer service? Maybe get the phone replaced. Then you have Shiney NEW phone to root!
ROOTED Xperia Play 4G 2.3.3

Anyone else have any other suggestions?

USB-drive not detected properly

For some reason, not sure what I have done, my PC won't detect the usb-drive correctly. It does find the drive (Win XP 32bit) and assigns a drive letter, but the drive is not accessible. Also, the phone does not detect that it is in a PC, e.g. the "ask me" menu does not pop up. I have tried disabling debugging, installing new drivers, removing drivers and what not. Works fine on PCs which have never had HTC-drivers installed... Any ideas?
You could try a earlier version of HTC sync

Just did.
I then managed to wipe the PC of the drivers, I think. At least the system was unable to install the drivers, when it detected the hardware, and asked for drivers.
Then the phone should still work as a USB-drive, at least, without any drivers. And it does on other PCs. But not this one. Odd!
try this, not sure if it will help, in device manager look for 0000.001a.0007.003.000.000.000.000.000 or similar in the usb mass storage devices you have

upgrade the driver, select you will pick from a list, uncheck compatible hardware on the manufacture window scroll up to standard usb host controllers, then in the right hand windows select usb composite device! once its done detach phone and reboot pc and try again!
I wiped the phone. I was certain it was not the phone, since other PCs would work fine, but just in case... and guess what, it works. I guess it was all that testing with getting JIT to work under SuperHero 1.0.1 that ****ed it up. Just re-applying JIT again to see if it causes the same problem...
Edit: And now JIT causes a wiped phone to crash. Better stay away from that for a while

[Q] Help with Android Powered CarPC

I have purchased a CarPC much like this one from China:
http://www.parkly.com.cn/Simplified/ProductView.asp?ID=148&SortID=146
All the "normal" functions (radio, calling, bluetooth, tv) are not android, but the GPS has been replaced with a Android 2.3 installation..
The problem here is that the Android installation is very minimal and does not include android market...
I would try to fix it myself, but i'm missing adb access.. Also, I can get into an update mode (recovery mode) but there are no physical buttons connected to the android system.. so I can't select anything, just getting the android icon with the triangle because no update exist..
There is a usb plug on the back of the radio, which is normally use for a WIFI stick.. I have tried to connect a usb keyboard, which works fine in normal mode, but no effect in recovery mode..
There is a small 10-pin plug in the lower right corner of the unit (see pictures), I suspect this to be a adb connection, but have no idea on howto create a cable for it...
The unit is based on the TCC8900-series.. So maybe someone out there has some ideas???
Hope someone can help me get ADB connection to this carpc...

Does it has superuser permissions? If yes, you can try to install it recovery via Rom manager.
I think you can install android market without adb. Just grab android market and install it. (Not sure)
Maybe you can just make a story like tell them your android system won't boot up. Asked them how to fix it yourself. And just act like stupid, ask how to do this and that and I think they will tell you how to connect to pc.
Accidentally sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
No root..
and I have already tried to contact them.. no go...
ADB does not require a special cable
Does the unit have WIFI on Android?
If so check what IP it is getting and connect to it via ADB, through another host connected to the same WIFI network (Like a PC/Laptop...):
> ADB CONNECT 192.168.X.Y
Thanks for the IP ADB suggestion, I will try it out.. But I still haven't got root..
Hello MrMEEE!!!
Any new with your device? I have the same one and the same problems! Plus, the 3G does not work with modem i provide (and I dont know which other I should). I turn the Wifi on, it keeps On for about 1 minute and then turns off by itself.
I have installed SuperUser.apk through the sdcard but ths SYSTEM partition where I should put the su binnaries is READONLY. When I try to use my "su" I receive the message "the uid 10039 is not allowed to su"
So, if you have any news, please let me know.
Regards

No Solution For HTC EVO 3D USB computer connection problem ?

I have a HTC EVO 3D with a very odd problem i dont know what i can do i look to all website in the internet and i didint find any solution yet . the phone It will not connect to my computer (recognized by the computer). The phone will charge when plugged into the USB; although, the computer cannot recognize the phone. I have already exhausted the idea of the cable being the problem.
Has anyone ever seen this issue plssss?
Make sure usb debugging is selected, and you can also download Wifi file explorer which allows you to see your phone contents through ip address (Wifi required)
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Have you installed the drivers for the phone?
If you have, download adb and run adb devices and see if it shows up there.
I had same problem with my "ex" SE Xperia x10.
It is problem with cristal connector which comes right after USB connector on motherboard..You probably teared it out while pulling out micro usb cable..So, only solution is to fix that with hair wire..I payed about 15$ for that, and it works like charm..
Cheers
I have had this same exact problem for almost 3 months. I have tried everything with no success. The only USB connection I DO have is in fastboot, but not in recovery or in the OS.
I would help any 'new' suggestions also.

Either you need to install drivers manually or enable USB mass storage in settings. It seems odd that USB works in fast boot but not anywhere else. If in windows try going to device manager when connected and see what shows up.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Okay so now whenever I try and connect my Evo to my computer I no longer get a notification on the top of the phone giving me options i change the usb cable and i try go to (Charge, Tether, Disk Drive, etc.). Debugging is not on and I have uninstalled WinAmp and PdaNet which I thought were potential causes of the problem. I also have the phone set to mount as a drive when connected via USB and I also checked the box telling it to ask me any time is gets connected.
what more i can do ? i try it in other computer and laptops non no works
+ i want to root my phone and i cant cuz off this problem

[Q] Windows 8 will not detect phone when in ADB Sideload

So I tried to flash CyanogenMod 12 to my phone, however, because this was my first time doing this sort of thing, I missed turning off the security on my phone before I wiped the phone. Obviously, at this point it was bricked, and after searching around, I discovered ADB Sideload. So I went through the process to get ADB, downloaded Android SDK and installed the platform tools, and I thought I was going to be able to save my phone. However, when I ran the TWRP ADB sideload, this happens when trying to input my file View attachment 3306335
I tried to check the drivers and found the HTC One X+ drivers, however when I try to install the drivers, this happens

When it does sometimes work, it gets to around 40% then just stops, or does "Total transfer 0.01" or something like that
There's also the problem that I couldn't actually flash a recovery without using the tool built for it by somebody on here, and that wouldn't let me get ClockworkMod Recovery for some reason
Please help me here, I'm incredibly stuck and even trying a RUU doesn't do anything
By the way it seems to connect just fine outside of ADB Sideload, it even gets detected by ADB when the server actually works and doesn't fail to start "ACK"
(EDIT) I do hear the phone disconnect and reconnect when I enter Sideload

Uninstall HTC sync and leave drivers. If that is indeed installed.

Android (LG G6) won't connect as MTP to Macos (as ADB it does)

Hello everyone,
a) My guess is, it might a problem with the drivers. I installed some LG programes earlier, already deinstalled it... But, Maybe you know better how to renew the Android drivers on the Mac and get rid off the stuff which probably blocks me from having the file transfer function again.
b) do you know at least any other (free) Programe that uses ADB to connect the phone to Mac?
c) something I have not thought of... You tell me
Once it was possible to connect the phone to my Mac and transfer files with Android File Transfer. Now it is not. I tried several other programmes, none can connect to the phone via MTP (for file transfer).
When I chose not "data transfer" but "photo transfer" as an option in the phone, the Photo app on Mac opens and I could trnasfer photos - so it works!
But I need file transfer....
I have and try several cables. Phone works without any problems with windows.
The only thing works now for transfering files via cable is MacDroid, which can connect the phone via ADB insetad of MTP. --> Problem: it costs money (and why should it now work in MTP in the first place).
The phone generally is found by the computer:
View attachment 4950209
I use as OS "El Capitan". On the phone Android 9.0. Phone LG G6
Thank you!
PS: The phone even asks me if I want the Mac to authorize:

PS2: Macdroid works with the phone even in MTP Mode when Debugging is deactivated. So what is this... I do not get it.
Guys, girls, anybody, please give me a hint, think with me, tell me where to look for answers ...
Finally... I knew it was some ****ty LG Software... I installed all the LG Software I could find on their website. Plus some dirver they provided. And THIS time, I deinstalled them using their own tool. Now it works again...
I think I had installed something earlier and then just deleted it or something.
So in short, it was necessary do install and UNINSTALL the LG drivers from their website.
