Hi everyone.
So I have a Motorola Droid RAZR XT910 its on 4.0.4 OTA with no root.
The issue I have is that I connect the phone to my PC via USB cable and it does not pick it up.
A few things you must know is:
•I have windows 7 32-bit and
•I am using the cable that comes with my phone
What happens when I plug my phone is the computer says installing drivers for unknown device and then it claims to have successfully installing them for "unknown device". My phone does give me option to chose what type of connection I want but it does charge.
Things I have tried:
•A different cable
•A different PC
• Re-installing drivers
• Re-installing Motocast
•Trying with USB Debugging enabled and disabled
•Different USB ports
•Factory reset
•Different USB ports
•Tried installing PIM Sync form Google Play Store
So yeah that's my problem any help will be helpful...
Try the drivers here:
http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v...59431210VgnVCM1000008406b00aRCRD&pubid=987654
When you try another cable, make sure that works with another device, and not just for charging.
The below instructions will help you troubleshoot if there is a problem with the usb connector on your phone.
1.Power off and disconnect usb cable.
2.Press and hold vol up and down, then hold the power button.
3.You should come to a boot mode selection menu.
4.Press vol down twice to highlight AP fastboot, press vol up once to select.
5.You should see AP fastboot flash mode (s), with last 2 lines saying "Connect USB, Data Cable"
6.Connect your USB cable to your PC and phone, and see if it says USB connected.
7. If nothing happens then it's probably a hardware problem, get it repaired.

Hi thank you for your help.
So I did this method on my PC and it was unsuccessful but i tried it on my mothers and it worked!
So I will update the drivers on my mothers PC and see If I can successfully connect to her PC and use USB mass storage for the first time since I've had Ice Cream Sandwich!
I will keep you updated
Its definitely software. Ill have to wait till there's a rooting application that doesn't require a connection between a PC and phone. One rooted I can flash a ROM from there on...
On your mother's PC, it worked in AP fastboot right? As in the words "USB connected" appears on your phone.
From there you can flash a rom.

I can flash fastboot files which I dont want to do.. I want to flash custom ROMs which require root.
The ap fastboot worked for me but when i restarted the phone it still wont connect with mass storage. i do not own a motorola usb cable mine is an LG and i dont really have money to buy one. bought the phone on ebay and it did not ship with one so ive been using this. it only connects as charging.

HI !
I have an HD² with official Operator's ROM and my HD² never sync with my computer.
I want to know if it's possible to Flash everything without any sync (only by SD)?
Thanks a lot for my LEO
settings menu all settings connections connections usb to pc, untick "faster data". restart the pc, restart the phone.
it should now sync fine.
Thanks for the Answer, but I've already do this and the results is the same.
Sorry about my English cause I'm French
Go into Bootloader Mode (hold Volume button down while switching on the phone). You will get a tri colour screen with the word 'Serial' at the bottom of it. Plug in the USB calbe and it should change to 'USB'. If this happens then you can run HSPL and then ROMs - just ignore the conditions about making an ActiveSync connection prior to running.
I've already try this
But not exactly how you say.
I've plug the in the USB calbe when the HD2 was Off, and after loading the bootloader.
And nothing was happen.
Juste the 3 colors and the SPL version but never "USB" or "Serials", serial appears only if I don't plug the cable.
Load it into Bootloader Mode, then connect the USB cable - and see if the 'Serial' changes to 'USB'. If it doesn't, then you have a hardware problem (phone or cable or computer).
I think it's a Phone probleme.
Cause I've a Samsung wave and I havn't any problem with the same cable and the same computer.
Also I can't flash my HD²...

I've already Try on another computer.
I've try with my seven OS, and with XP OS.
The problem is the same.
But when I plug the USB cable, the computer says "unknown Device" and it's the same on different computer with different cable...
I think my HD2 mother card is probably broke for this.
After a did a firmware update using USB Burning tool, without no troubles, I want to install other firmware because the accelerometer doesn't work, and so the auto-rotate function (it worked on the old firmware), and I can't get into recovery mode, the home + power function does not work anymore.
I want to use USB Burning tool to reflash the tablet, like the last time, but now I have this problem: when I connect the tablet trough USB cable with the power on, windows recognize the mass storage, but when the power is off, which I need for USB Burning tool, it doesn't do anything. It should show in the bottom-right corner that USB device found, but it doesn't.
I tried this:
1. to hold home-button and then to insert USB... nothing, it just shows the battery charging
2. to hold home+power button... nothing... doesn't enter in recovery mode, it's just loading android system.
3. SD card slot was empty when I tried this.
Does anybody had some king of problems? or know what's the problem?
Please, I need to fix this.
Hi!
I'm desperate.
At last I could find a "Factory Cable" to flash my XT910 with "Battery Low" message....Now, with this cable a beautiful "Battery OK" appears when I use the Ap Fastboot Mode to flash it with RSD Lite, but....my computer doesn't detect it!!!!! And if my coputer doesn't detect my phone, RDSLite also, and I could't flash it
What should I do???
I've tried in 3 different computers (with W7 and XP, all with last Motorola Drivers installed)....
I plug the factory cable into the phone, plug it with the computer, and press "Vol- Vol+ Power" ...then "Vol- Vol+" and I enter to Ap Fastboot mode....
"Battery OK" appears...
Windows tries to install the phone but....."Unknown device"
Please, what am I doing wrong???
Thanks!!!!

Plugged XT910 with "modded cable", "Vol- Vol+ Power"...Ap Fastboot mode....windows tries to install the phone and..."Unknow Device". Windows could't install the device....

Thanks a lot, but...
I've tried to update it with "windows Update", and force to update drivers with "Motorola PTP Device", "Motorola MTP Device", "motorola USB Device"....
I've installed last version of RSD Lite too
And everything with the same solution...
I think it's quite difficult that Windows may reconize it in Ap Fastboot mode, doesn't it?

3) Vol+, Vol-, Power, 10 sec
4) Vol+, Vol-
5) Menu AP FastBoot
6) Windows tries to install the phone.....

Thanks!!!

Could be a bad cable or other hardware failure.
Another thing to try is the MacGyver method
See link in my Low battery options

Even buying a new one, perhaps I'm going to try to buy a "factory cable" on eBay, if it's no expensive....
Solved problem!!!!!
I needded to buy a new cable on eBay, wait for a loooong time (7 long looooong days ) and everything is ok!!!!
I've got only one problem, but I think I'm going to open another post for it....
Thanks a lot and good cables for all!!!!
I've been flashing custom roms on android devices for several years, but the Gtab S3 is the first Samsung device I've ever dealt with. On top of that I normally use ubuntu and I'm not familiar with window. I'd be most appreciative for your help with odin:
1) When I first plugged the S3 into a window machine I thought it would complain about lack of usb driver. It does not, to my surprise (it seems unlikely that that laptop would have the drivers already installed but maybe I was wrong); nothing happens on the Window side, and S3 says that it's getting slow charging.
In any case I installed the OEM usb driver in https://www.xda-developers.com/where-to-download-android-usb-drivers/ and then plug in the S3, but again nothing happens.
2) I installed odin 3.12.7 but it does not seem to see my S3 (see the attached screenshot).
3) The OP of this thread says
"put your device in download mode"
How?
I did try to google around but I have not been able to find useful help (e.g. as the screenshot shows my odin does not look like the one in step 6 of www.techbeasts.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-using-odin/). I enable USB debuggin mode & OEM unlock.
Many thanks for your generous help.
Maybe I cam help.
First have odin up on your pc with the usb cable plugged into the pc but not the tab.
Then with the tab turned off simultaneously hold the power, vol down, and home buttons. The tab should boot into download mode. Hit vol up to get into download.
Now plug the usb cable into the tab.
You should see odin recognize your device and then be able to flash.
You need the Samsung USB drivers and DOWNLOAD mode.

Hi all,
I'm in a complete head spin so I'm hoping someone here could shed some light on an issue I'm facing.
As the title says, I currently have a Buzz TV XPL 3000 android box. I'm trying to flash "Aidan's Android TV Custom Rom" onto it. But no matter what I try to do, I simply cannot get the Buzz TV box to interact with my Windows 10 PC.
I have 2 different male-to-male USB cables that I've tried plugging into the box and into my PC, but there is no link between them. The PC nor the Android box don't acknowledge any kind of connection. I know a lot of people will probably say that my cables aren't data cables, but I've actually used one of them previously to flash another Android device.
Whenever I plug the USB cables into my Android box and PC, the ONLY thing that happens, is the PC powers up the Android box. I've tried turning on USB debugging tools from the developer menu, but nothing. The PC doesn't even make a sound when I plug the cable in and there is nothing listed under device manager. Nothing appears on USB Burning Tools under devices.. Just nothing.
I've tried plugging in the USB cable, while holding down the reset button (located on the bottom of the box), but all that does is power on the Android box and load into "Android Recover". Still nothing detected on USB Burning Tools and still no acknowledgement from the PC that a USB device has been connected.
The options I get in the Android Recovery menu are:
Reboot System Now
Apply Update From EXT
Apply Update From Data
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Burn Keys
I've tried selecting "Apply Update From EXT" and manually selecting the .img file. But it says it cannot verify the signature.
I'm literally out of ideas. Can anyone who knows what they're doing please help me!

Hi, You Might Have To Try And Figure Out Mask rom Mode To Force your Device To Be Detected By USB Burn Tool If Using The Reset Button is Unsuccessful, Look For Mask rom Mode Information, You Can Upload Pictures Of Both Sides Of Your Logic Board we can try and figure it out

Hey man,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I managed to get it working. Decided to give it another shot this morning and for some reason, first time around it worked. USB Burning Tool instantly picked the box up, installed perfectly and now I have it up and running!! It definitely seems a lot more snappier than my last firmware.
I do have a question though. With the previous stock firmware, my TV would pick the Android box up with a HDR signal. It no longer does this now. Is that to be expected with this rom or is there something I need to do?
Sir
