[SOLVED] USB connection broken after rooting with Flashtool - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Solved problem already. What I did:
-Installed rootexplorer
-Installed xRec3-GB-Ready by copying stuff to root /
-used xrec to install former miui rom
Got Miui back and usb works again haven't tested the flash mode yet.. hope I wont be needing that.
---------------
Hello,
Considering my X10i phone. I've had the miui-cobrato ROM installed for about a year when my GPS started acting weird. To solve this problem I used PC Companion to reflash my phone to the stock 2.3.3 rom and thus GPS worked again. Today I tried to root this version using flashtool. Flashtool did indeed root my phone, however, since rooting, the usb connection has been unavailable. With this i mean that I can charge, but can no longer make a data connection. Neither sides (PC nor phone) detects the other one. Even when booting with the back-button pressed nothing shows up in device-manager under windows or lsusb under linux.
I now rember seeing some warning about MTP mode which i had ignored earlier. Could this have be the culprit? Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Using the terminal emulator and 'lsmod' I could see only one module loaded "ar6000". Perhaps I should load some USB module. I'm assuming this is integrated in the kernel, but you never know
Regards,
Wbdsgnr

Ready by copying stuff to root what did you mean i have the same ....USB connection broken

You'll have to download the xrecovery for x10 from xda and somehow get it on your phone. I just used my wifi for that. Next I used file explorer to copy the contents of the zip file to my root directory. This in turn installed xrec so I could install the custom rom I still had on my memory card.
Search for xrecovery 3.0 GB ready. This is the version I used for my stock 2.3.3 system.

[Q] Application installer missing?

Hi, Ive just updated my mini pro to 2.1 nordic firmware but ive notice the application installer thats suppose to be in the menu has dissapeared.
I just bought the phone so i didnt back up, now i have no means of detecting and installing universalroot/rootexplorer and other apps. Do you guys know where i can download it, i dont know what to do at the moment, ty.
Search on market for apps installer or grab any file manager that you want from market as those usually give you the possibility to install apps from the SD card.
Is there a way to download an app installer application from my computer to my phone or sd card? I cant browse the internet on my phone at the moment, ty.
Attached is an Application Installer that comes with 2.1 fw SG. It will search ur sdcard for all apk files. The other one is Linda Manager, a free file browser and installer.
Edited: I just realised that even if u copy over to ur sdcard, u can't install from 2.1 without an installer or file browser =x.
There is a way around the problem, install the Android SDK and use adb install <package> with your phone connected to your computer with USB.

Disabling OTA updates after pre-rooted ICS update

If, like me, you're one of those persons who used S.onyTablet.S v3.4 [ALLinONE] to update your firmware to a pre-rooted ICS 4.0.3 and lost ADB support afterwards, but are tired of the nagging notification telling you there's an update, do the following:
Use your favorite file explorer app to navigate to /system/app/ and simply rename "Automagic.apk" to something like "Automagic.apk.bak". This will disable those notifications and give you the option of undoing it later-on (remove the ".bak" you placed on the name) WITHOUT using ADB.
Gotta thank condi for the solution to my problem 'cause i actually took the fix right out of his tool's coding, so thanks man!

If you installed and used Condi's UMS inSD and UMS exSD scripts, that may be your problem. After using the USB Mass Storage scripts, I lost use of ADB. I solved the problem by turning on USB debugging, connecting my tablet to my computer via USB, then selecting "Connect as Media Device (MTP)" found at Settings > Storage. I have to do this each time I use the scripts. It appears the UMS scripts interfere with the computer's or ADB's ability to detect devices.

EDIT: problem solved.
I have just reinstalled the driver manually.

I actually haven't used them. The problem is that before ICS, device manager only recognized "Sony tablet S", but now there's also a "Sony_tablet" that has no drivers associated with it and if i try to install the same drivers i used originally... ERROR... so yeah, i've had to manage myself without adb... THE PAAAAAAAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my case, it just reinstalled the same drivers and stayed with the same problem; sad thing is that the costumer took the tablet already so i can't keep testing possibilities.
I lost ADB support also, I also used the tool supplied with Condis program for mounting internal or external memory, I left the wrong one mounted and this stopped the ADB working, I was connecting via USB but I nothing showed.. I eventually after changing the storage mounting option back it worked.
PS to Condi: A little note when connecting to AIO tool to remind people to put the storage into the correct mode would help dzięki za twoją pomoc! :-D

I actually have a non rooted ICS that says update available. Even after factory reset. But thanks for the info maybe ICS will let me disable it under apps.

T999 Connectivity to PC Issue [SOLVED]

I had a HARD time trying to get the GS3 to connect to my PC (like a lot of other peps)
Here is my solution:
Update the pc completely using Microsoft Updates.
Download the following:[URL=http://depositfiles.com/files/jfh66znxv]http://depositfiles.com/files/jfh66znxv[/URL]
Un rar and copy the INF files (2) to your windows inf folder. I found that 1 of my original files (Microsoft installed) was actually the problem!
Install the Snapdragon Toolkit and install the Samsung driver using that software. (First option)
I already had done it via manual installs a number of times, but they never worked. This install using the toolkit worked.
(I only used it to install the Samsung Drivers)
Rebooted the PC and ran the toolkit again and saw the serial number in the ADB window, confirming a connection!
Rebooted the pc and connected the SG3 via the usb cable and it showed the files after a short moment!
All is Good!
Hope this helps someone make theirs work and alleviate all the aggrivation.
BTW:
There was not any problem with the Samsung software, It was the PC that had the problem!
I had that Samsung MTP error and the INF file installaion actually fixed that problem, so I included them in the file to download.
If this works for you, plz add a tag to this thread so that others will know this works.

[Q] Trying to Restore Apps with Data (.bak) to cm 10.1

Hello;
This was my first time installing a Rom. I was fed up with my phone responding slowly and in time jams.
1-The first thing I did was install cwm recovery v6.0.2.7.
2-Then use the S3 tool kit available in xda to make a backup of all except system apps and internal storage data and it was stored in a .bak file. So that games and other apps keep their info as it is a hassle to start from the beginning.
3-Installed CM 10.1 nightly used in the instructions provided here.
All is okay up to here.
4-Tried to restore apps and app data through S3 tool kit but it won't display the data in the phone. I did enable the usb debugging on the cm10.1 (by pressing 7 times on the build name to enable the developers option and enabling usb debugging). I had the same problem when trying to do the backup in step 2, but it connected through the adb mode. This problem is that when ever I connect a device via usb windows installs the driver so every time I connect my phone windows installs the drivers.
5- When step 4 did not work I tried to restore using Holo Backup but no use no able to connect through to adb mode.
I can access the phone storage but I believe the appropriate drivers are not running when using the restore programs even though they are installed.
So the questions are:
1- Is there a way to fix the connection to be able to use S3 unified tool kit or if any one has dealt with the same problem?
2- Is there a way to restore the .bak file via cwm recovery?
3-For future use; An app or program that can be stored in the phone to avoid the use of a PC. The app or program would back-up contacts, sms text, apps and app data into the virtual sd or cloud to avoid deletion when "wipe data/ factory reset" after installing a rom.
I look forward to your replies.
Thank you.
What drivers do you have? Have you tried Universal Naked Driver? That's the only way I could get adb to work on mine when running CyanogenMod

The image below shows the Drivers I currently have.
I used to have a lot more but a majority of them were copies of the same driver.
I had 2 other Samsung drivers but I also deleted them. According to an article that stated a fix to the problem is to uninstall all usb drivers except mouse and keyboard and reinstall the usb drivers of the device desired, but no success.

I tried to install the universal naked driver but no success. I followed the instruction went into the device manager and under the samsung android phone was the samsung android ADB interface which I uninstalled and checked the delete part. The pc requested to restart which I forgot to turn off the the internet which resulted in the driver being installed once it restarted. Tried a second and third time with no internet but when I uninstall and check the delete marker the pc does not ask to reboot. And if I try to update the driver with VND it notifies me that it is up to date.
Any solutions?

removed the .bak extension and placed it in the download folder of my virtual sd folder and pressed restore on cwm but nothing happened.
Could be because the backup is password protected?
Also tried to restore the file via titanium backup through the extract simple adb with and without the extension but only says analyzing file and remains that way for hours.

I can't transfer any files from py PC!

Hello!
I have recently bought this phone with installed custom ROM and I wanted to install another one. And then I downloaded the ROM and formatted the phone from TWRP and I just connected it to the PC and there was nothing.. I searched for hours I tried so many adb drivers, usb drivers, etc and I couldn't detect the phone in the ADB powershell nor transfer any files. The only progress I managed to do is side loading it.. The ADB detected it and then I tried adb push (the exact name of the file) /sdcard and after that (error: closed) appeared.. I think the main reason is because before I formatted the phone I didn't allow the usb debuging but apparently you can't allow it from the recovery... I don't have any type-c OTGs laying around.. How in the world am I supposed to transfer the ROM to my phone? Please help me! Thank you!

Okey, I just managed to use adb push without side loading just in the twrp and I don't know how to delete the post so excuse me for the spam!
Heyyo, I'm the maintainer of official builds of TWRP for the LeEco Le Max 2.
Usually for TWRP it can sometimes mess up USB mode if the device is plugged into a PC before it fully boots to TWRP.
Windows for some reason messes up the driver install for MTP as well. Usually of this happened you will need to manually go into device manager and select update driver on it and manually select the driver to install like this:
