So I have searched everything and and am having a small problem with rooting my phone. The batch file runs and when I select to Restore My Data it initially (on the phone) says Restore Starting... then immediately says Restore Ended with nothing happening to the phone, even after sitting for a few mins. Rooting isn't new to me either I just don't understand why this isn't working properly.
Thanks for any and all help.
Do you have usb debugging enabled and when the phone is plugged in to the computer and you have it on "mtp" mode and not charge only?

Yes and yes.
Hmm I had issues the first time with running the bat file for root. I had to use a different computer for it to work. Also when you plugged the phone in while in mtp mode did all the drivers install should have been the drivers.

Yea all the drivers were installed properly, I can access everything I need to on the phone from the computer. I'll try it on a different pc and see what happens.
This phone does seen temperamental at times while rooting. If suggest maybe hitting up the IRC for more help. You may be on the new update which will require you to lgpnst to older firmware then root.

Ahhh yes, I didn't think of that... the update would definitely pose an issue. Thanks!

Computer wont recognize my device anymore. I have downloaded every set of drivers from this forum, from the samsung website, I even tried downloading kies but it wouldnt recognize it either.
It worked before I did the following and now it doesnt.
First I rooted my phone with route 66 everything was going fine until I made the huge mistake (not knowing) and downloaded rom manager so that I could do a nandroid backup. Well as we all know now, you cant do that. So I got the deadly uellow verizon triangle saying unauthorized software bring it to the store. So I went through the xda forums and found the one that told me how to fix it. I used odin with the alternate restore and got it back up and running. So I wanted to go back and use adams one click unlock and root. I got everything downloaded and ready. I put my phone in developer mode and plugged it in. It starts trying to find the drivers and then it flips from debugger mode to media mode everytime. It starts seeing it as everything but a samsung phone. It says found camera and even cd rom but not the phone. I have read through everything and tried everything I could think of but I am at a loss. PLEASE HELP

Turn off your phone, connect to your computer with the USB cord and turn back on your phone. It should start the drivers and connect to your device.

I tried that, it is still not seeing it like it is supposed to. I was able to get Odin to recognize it so that I could flash the rooted stock again but I can't get Casual Jailbreak to work. I'm not sure if it is because the drivers or not but I am guessing it has something to do with it. Every time I plug it in, it starts searching for drivers and then always switches from usb debugging mode to media mode. The checkmark is still in usb debugging but I don't think it actually is. You can watch it go from device as installer to media.
Are you using the driver install app (zadig i think its called) to install the heimdall driver on top of "gadget serial". Looking at your other post it seems like a driver issue. One thing ive noticed is, if odin can see the device then heimdalll cant and vice/versa. So if odin can see it you have the wrong driver, if you are infact installing the heimdall driver my second question is, does windows xp x64 use driver sig enforcement like win7 x64 does? if so you probably need to disable it. Just throwing my $0.02 out there.
Are you using the official USB cable? I had an aftermarket cable that had worked for months, then decided to quit working. It works with other devices just not the Note2. Changed to my original cable and all is well.

Also try plugging it in to the PC and not through a hub/keyboard/monitor port

If it sees the device in the dumb verizon cd mode thing and ptp than it can see adb. Its not the cable. however i would try setting the usb debugging first than set it to camera mode. adb should still be able to pick it up
Thank you everyone for your help, I finally got the drivers working and the bootloader unlocked

How? Fixing to unlock my spanking new note also. I had the drivers issues late last night. When installing drivers through the Z app I never could get it to install Samsung usb drivers nor did I see serial gadget option. Running Windows Vista 64bit. I know I have Java.

I know I am not the only person asking for help with this.... But as far as I've read I am the only person unable to fix it... I have download drivers, Kies, Odin, The Stock File. I have tried every method to recover my device without success. Why is Odin not locating my device when in Downloading mode even when all of the drivers are installed? I have attempted to fix this now on two computers.... I am loosing my mind. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
What os is your computers running?

USB debugging needs to be turned on for Odin to see phone.
"Software Not Supported By Verizon"
Normally appears when you first boot phone
When
You do not have phone unlocked while installing custom software.

I think you may be mistaken here. Download mode is seperate from the ROM if this was the case then many people would be screwed if they forgot to have debug on. Because at this point he can't get into the system to turn it in.
OP we need more info of what happening. Does your phone download drivers? Any errors? Does it beep or anything to say is hooked up.
Try this first. Make sure you're using the original cord, make sure you're plugged in at the back of computer not front, un install drivers and start over. Make sure you reboot after you reinstall the drivers. I've personally always let Windows find the drivers automatically and never had a problem.

My phone won't boot. I don't know what happened, but the Vol Up -> Recovery shortcut doesn't work. When I turn the device on LG flashes for a split second and then a black (but lit) screen. I can get the device in to download mode, but LGNPST will not recognize my phone on my desktop nor my laptop.
I was/currently am flashed to a July 4th build of Houston's Rootbox, CWM Recovery.
Any ideas on where to go from here?
I had to go into manage devices and install the drivers on my computer. Maybe even reinstall lgnpst or use a different cable. Good luck

Is it possible you could go in to a little more detail? I'm no stranger to manually installing drivers, but the device manager isn't finding anything in the (tSilenzio's LGNPST) driver folders. Switched cables but still no luck.
I think I downloaded them from lg's website there's a link around here somewhere. Or u could probably Google it. I was just using lgnst the other day but I was all over the place. I forget where everything was

Yeah, no dice, tried everything I could think of. Running to AT&T tomorrow and seeing what their verdict is. If they can't do anything I suppose I'm shipping it off to JTAG.

I have a LG Optimus L9 P769 (T-Mobile). It came with ICS 4.0.4, but did the OTA to get it updated to V20F JB. Shortly after, I found the LGPwn.apk and used that to root. I used Titanium Backup to remove bloatware. I have yet to go any farther with modding.
Ok, before rooting, I connected my phone to my Dell with Windows 7, installed the drivers for all 4 modes available in my phone. I installed LG drivers and PC Suite for the PC. Connection worked perfectly.
As I continued to learn, I installed ADB on my PC. This is when I noticed that my PC no longer recognizes my phone. LG PC Suite can't see it, nor can ADB. My assumption was that it was due to root. So in an attempt to remedy, I used Titanium Backup to put everything back in place that I had removed from the phone. Then went into SuperSu and did full unroot. Rebooted the phone, rebooted the PC. No change.
I uninstalled all LG drivers and LG PC Suite and then reinstalled again. Rebooted phone and PC again. Tried 4 different USB cables. All to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions that I could try to get this PC to see my phone again? No rush and not a big deal. I can always re-root...but without ADB, I don't see much hope for much more than that.
(I did search the forums, and to my dismay, didn't find a solution that seemed to help. Doesn't mean there isn't one or I didn't overlook one. Thanks in advance.)
(Also, I have tried this with USB Debugging on and off.)
I managed to get my android back (thanks T3HGOOGL3G33K). I haven't tried to connect to my PC yet. I will update once again when I have had time to test it.
Ok...so I had to do all the work on my PC, save it to my SD card, and then flash using CWM by Artas182x. I uninstalled and reinstalled all LG drivers again and rebooted my PC. Now, the PC is seeing the device, but saying it can't install the drivers for such as MTP, Charge only, Camera, and LG Software. ADB isn't seeing it either when I use "adb\sdk\platform-tools\adb devices". IDK!
I recommended trying another USB port or check the connection. It sounds like the cable isn't connecting to your phone properly.

Thanks @Kuma. I'll try a different port and see if that helps. My goal is just to familiarize myself with adb. (Windows now sees the phone, just doesn't install the drivers. That's why adb can't see it I am assuming.)
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda app-developers app
@Kuma...I don't know what I did different, but I tried a different cable in a different USB port and to my surprise all drivers loaded right away. Thanks again. I swear I have done this. Maybe I just had to stand on one foot...lol.

Hello, usually don't have much issues with this sort of thing as I have decent experience with this.
I'm stuck on this particular issue though as my phone is in a constant boot loop. I was planning on just reflashing a ROM on to the device, but in the bootloader or recovery my pc will not detect the device at all so I am unable to run fastboot or adb commands on it. I have tried this on 3 pc's(2 Windows 8.1 and 1 Windows 7).
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Windows 8 & 8.1 will not work. I used the DNA toolkit on a Windows XP laptop to get my phone out of the bootloop (when you were using the Windows 7 computer, were you using the USB 2.0 port? It's been mentioned in many posts that USB 3.0 will not work). Don't use the drivers from HTC SYNC, the proper drivers are here on XDA (just Google it).

Yes it was on USB 2.0. Drivers won't do me any good if device manager won't even detect the device is plugged in to begin with. That is the issue is I have no way to flash a new ROM because I can't even get device manager to pickup that the device is plugged in on any computer.
Until I switched to a Windows XP computer, my phone wasn't recognized either, no matter how often I updated the drivers.

You can't update the drivers for a device though until it detects there is a device there. There shouldn't be any issue with Windows 7 being able to detect a DNA.
I never had an issue with this until now and now I'm just stuck in either a boot loop or going into recovery.
I would be willing to to try XP for the fun of it when I get an opportunity, but don't feel it is necessary.
If I do a factory reset from CWM Recovery I can get into Cyanogenmod and go through the initial setup steps. After that it sits at a black screen, but I can drag the notification drawer down and get into the settings. Only have a minute or two before it reboots back into a boot loop.
Surely there has to be some way to fix this...
I managed to get it to stay on. Here is what I did to transfer a new ROM over. Since all I could access on the phone was the settings I changed a locksceen slider to the Play Store and installed AirDroid. I then transferred the file over through AirDroid.
I am about to flash it now. If this installs fine and clears up the boot loop issue then I guess that issue is fixed, but that still doesn't solve the problem with my device not connecting to the PC through USB.
Okay I managed to finally get a new ROM to flash over after some issues with the ROM zip itself. It flashed and said updating apps 77/77 and restarted and its been sitting at the boot logo for 10 minutes.
Still never got it to detect USB connection on PC either.
I don't have a single clue what to do now. Am I just out of luck at this point?
Okay I know I have flooded this with messages, but I have Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 on there and it seems to be working fine. I can reboot and it goes back into Android without a boot loop from what I can tell.
USB still does not work even within Android though. Is there an issue with the hardware itself? It charges fine.

Is MTP checked or USB debugging enabled? If not you need to check them both
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium HD app
Yes both of them are checked.
Have you tried downloading pdanet that will reinstall adb asking with other drivers
Sent from my HTC6600LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes I have. Still should allow normal file transfer without it and also at the very least device manager should detect it. I think I am just out of luck on this. At least it can still charge.
On the Win 7 machine, are you sure that USB port is good? Sorry no one asked that simple question.
Also, have you tried cleaning your micro USB port?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yes, like I said other devices work fine on PC and also have tried it on 4 different computers. I also cleaned the port.
NP, appreciate the response.
