Refering to this ROM install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669170, I for the life of me cannot get my phone to connect to Kies after installing this ROM. I've searched the the forms and have tried all the suggestions but still nothing works. I just want to put my phone contacts back on using Kies since that's where I backed up my pictures and contacts. I've updated the device drivers using windows automatic update and it updated to wpdusb and wudfrd .sys drivers. My computer indicates all drivers and devices installed and I see my phone listed on windows explorer. I've formated internal and external sd cards, I've mounted and unmounted internal external sd cards. Under this rom I can't find where to select Keis mode for the USB connection, all I can find is a USB utility which just gives option to download to computer. Please help!!!!
I believe to have to be on stock for it to connect

I suggest you get a different ROM. That ROM is old, buggy, and the base stolen from a real Dev.

Thanks for the link but these ROM's are not for my phone. Did a search for Energy (Energy ROM, which is the ROM's by NRG) in Android Development forum for my phone ATT Galaxy Note but nothing found. Looks like he makes these ROM's for the HTC phones. His ROMs look totally awesome though.

Try flashing back to stock 4.0.4 ICS and it should be able to connect again. Here's a link for the .tar file. Just use Odin to flash it and make sure repartition is OFF.. this is a good .tar to keep stored. This is how I always revert to REAL At&t ics stock.

Kies looks for binaries that are not altered, especially those without super user access, which all custom roms have.
Additionally, kies looks for the 3e recovery when it connects, which is lost upon flashing of CWM/TWRP..
Stock roms and recoveries will restore kies function....g
Thanks guys and I hit you both up on the thanks meter, I will do this and take your advice. Once I get all my contacts which are backed up on Kies restored I will sync to google so I won't have to rely on Kies. This way If I use a custom ROM I can get access to and restore my contacts pic, and vid's without Kies, should have done this in the first place.

I just plugged in my tab 10.1 into my PC to copy a new ROM over, windows detects my device, drivers are installed successfully, all is good to go. However the device does not show up in my computer. I tried disabling /enabling USB Debugging but it makes no difference.
I am running on AOKP rom so is that the reason why my device isnt mounting properly? I remembered it was working fine before. The strange thing is when i put it into download mode and plug it into odin it does not recognise anything there either. I cant even copy anything in or out of the tablet!
My reason for doing all this is to revert back to a stock Honeycomb 3.2 ROM as ive had enough of experimenting with ICS. What should I do now?
Did you make a Nandroid backup of your last HC setup? If you did just restore that.
Also you can try one of those wifi transfer apps like "Wifi File Transfer Pro". I use it all of the time to transfer files, movies and roms. Works like a charm every time.
The only time I use the cord is to charge my tab.

Go to Settings / Storage and there will be three dots on the top. Click on those and re-enable USB connection.
Its alright, managed to install the "proper" drivers by booting into download mode via the recovery. Somehow windows missed it out during the first time i plugged it in. :/ All is working fine now

Hello,
I installed Teamcooper CM7.2 (nightly don't remember the exact version) on my mom's mobile.
The PC does not shows the device storage. Hence she cannot copy any pictures / songs to the mobile. ((Airdroid) Wifi is not an option for now)
Any help would be really appreciated

Download samsung android usb driver from here

Extract the rar file and install driver.Restart PC(not compulsory).Now connect your phone..Done!!
As its Cyangenmod, I don't think you can use Kies. Just take out the memory card and shove it in your computer.

thank you all. I was too fast in typing I guess. Kies wont work on CM as I have CM9 on SGS2 I knew that well but didn't realize what i was asking.
What I wanted to ask is how to get the USB work on PC. Since it's my mom's phone I wanted to help her. I made a mistake in flashing the custom firmware
Will try the USB drivers

Ok. She tried installing it the usb drivers provided by @side_effect but didnt work. Computer(Win 7) still does not show up the external SD storage as drives
Unfortunately we are continents apart so only way for me is do over skype and desktop sharing :-(

flash stock rom via odin or use wired tether from Gplay
Hey,
I installed cyanogenmod 9 on my gt-i9300, the installation went smooth, but then I had the great idea to install the Ninphetamin3 kernel as well, it turns out that they are not compatible with one another(or I did something wrong), now the phone starts up and keeps looping at the cm9 boot animation. I have no back ups on the internal sd card as I did these two actions at the same time, and the phone cannot read my original stock rom.
I might have accidentally deleted them in my haste(tried following a youtube fix that did not work9
question…..Can I put the cm9 rom and gapps on a micro sd, then plug it back into the phone and reinstall it this way?
btw this is my first android mobile, and I am using an osx system to root and any information on how to fix this problem via an osx system will be greatly appreciated.

Did you try wiping cache and dalvik cache?
99% of the time, wiping cache and dalvik cache will solve your bootloop problems and force closes.
Hey
Yepp I tried all of those, still no luck, will try with the micro sd later about 2am here in sthlm and I need some sleep before the old job...
I will update to say how it goes...
Ninphetamine kernel is a Samsung kernel, it is not compatible with CM9.
Why don't you just reinstall CM9?
hey,
That is what I would like to do, but I flashed cm9 with rom manager, and since my phone is stuck looping and the boot animation I cannot reco it from there. I tried doing it from clockworkmod recovery and cannot find the rom in the file system either....so my plan is to pop a micro sd into my computer transfer the files onto that, then pop it into the phone again and attempt to do it this way... Hopefully it can be done.
Download original firmware and flash with odin. Start over.

hmmm okey would it be better to start over from scratch then? would I have to format the entire internal sd before i start?
Also I cannot use odin(only osx or Ubuntu) so is the procedure the same with heimdall?
sorry for all the questions guys but like i said my very first android so a bit unfamiliar(should have switched ages ago)

I transfered the cm9 and gapps onto my ext sd card using a laptop, then back into the phone. I reflashed and basically I have a phone that I can use again..
One more thing I noticed since reinstalling the cm9 rom
I got everything back but when I go to the play store on my computer it no longer recognizes my mobile, but
if I access it through my mobile it does is there any explanation for this?
Not a big deal but it would be nice to reinstall apps and some paid apps again without having to pay for them again..
any ideas?
Perhaps something to do with the baseband on cm9?

okey, I just found it a bit strange that I can still download most of the paid apps from the play store via the phone and not the computer.
Does that mean if I restore the stock rom(no intention) that the store would recognize the phone again?
Just use your computer and flash stock rom to your GS3, that's how i solved similar problem with GS2 when it was looping.
Odin is fairly easy to use, tons of instructions online, finding right stockrom online might be time consuming.
Backup your phone ALWAYS! With cwm, i have big list of backups always ready, everytime you messing with new roms, kernels or what ever changes you make, it's worth the time, trust me.

Use galaxy s3 toolkit to backup your firmware to pc,look in development section.
And ALWAYS backup your imei nr(EFS folder) use K-TOOL from market(free) or EFS pro(pc)
I had recently rooted my phone and then installed CyanogenMod OS on my Samsung S3.
For installing cyanogen it formatted my phone, now I recall that I had some important data in my Mobile Vault app that I want to recover, most of the recovery software are unable to detect the mobile.
When I try to change it to USB mass storage device, it does how up on the PC but I cannot access it.
I had also created a backup image using ROM manager but it too got deleted in the process, if by some method I could get it back or if I can somehow make my phone be discovered as a mass storage device, I might be able to get my data back.
Sorry if I have posted in the wrong section. Any help would be appreciated I am struggling at it since the last 4-5 days.
There are hundreds of identical threads, I've not heard a single success. Sorry.

Well, If your phone is recognized by windows and you can connect as USB maas storage then use windows recovery softwares which can recover your data but it is very much time consuming may be you have to let your phone connected to pc for a day or 2 and if you have luck you will get back all the data. but its a 80:20 game.
Hi all,
A week ago I followed this thread to unlock and root my phone. All went well and I flashed Venom 4.3.0 but now cannot receive calls (I was told I need the international firmware?). Beforehand, my phone had an OTA update to Lollipop, and I was stupid and did not make a backup before flashing. I've looked and found some different options, one of which is a stock recovery here.
The biggest problem I'm having now is that I cannot get it to connect to the PC where I can copy over files. It says that the device has stopped responding or has been disconnected. I can delete and view everything, however. In searching around, it looks like some have had this issue with some corrupt files, but I cannot even copy a .jpg or empty .txt file. I have tried uninstalling HTC Sync and HTC Sync Manager, leaving them installed, uninstalling and leaving drivers, using just the drivers here, multiple cables, ports, and even different computers. Windows tries to install Android 1.0 when I connect while in the bootloader or TWRP, and it doesn't show up in explorer (I can see it in device manager as an android device).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think firmware has much to do with it. Folks have had issues with some "international ROMs" (including ViperOne) on AT&T's network; and flashing various firmwares doesn't seem to help.
Best explanation I've seen, is that it has to do with changes AT&T is making to their network in preparation for rollout of Voice over LTE (VoLTE, or "HD Voice" and AT&T calls it).
I think Team Venom was looking into the problem. But I don't know if anything ever came of that. I'd say your best bet is to try another ROM, or the stock AT&T ROM (as you've already suggested).

Try uninstalling all HTC software (Sync and HTC drivers). Then go to Device Manager, find the device, and select the option to manually install the drivers, and pick the generic Android MTP Device drivers. See if that gets adb/fastboot working.
Another option, is use a removable SD card and card reader, put the desired ROM on the card using your PC. Then insert card into the phone and flash the ROM in TWRP.

Thanks for your help. I wasn't able to flash from the SD card for some reason - kept getting a failure. I tried manually installing drivers, but it was no different. I did figure out that even though the PC didn't recognize the phone in fastboot, adb/fastboot still worked and I was able to push files that way. Unfortunately, I tried flashing SkyDragon and still don't receive calls (though it thinks I'm on Tmobile - maybe I missed a step in my haste), and haven't been able to get that stock ROM I linked before to flash. Though, somewhere along the way it wiped Venom so that it didn't re-apply any of my previous settings and now I can directly copy files using the PC instead of pushing. Not sure exactly how that makes sense, but it'll make things easier I think.
I definitely think I'm getting closer, or at least have some options now that I can copy files either directly or pushing. I just have to find a ROM that works and that I can actually flash.

What version of TWRP? Most common reason for ROMs failing to flash is outdated TWRP version.

You probably picked T-Mob in the AROMA installer when you flashed the ROM. You can flash again, and pick either AT&T, or the "other GSM" or whatever its called works fine for me on AT&T.

What you linked was a stock nandroid backup, not a flashable ROM. There is a distinct and important difference.
With a nandroid, it has to be placed in the exact right location, then you pick RESTORE in TWRP instead of INSTALL. If the nandroid folder isn't copied to the exact right location, TWRP won't see it when you select RESTORE (you can't browse for the file like you can a ROM).
The easiest way to determine the "exact location" for the nandroid is to make a backup in TWRP (if you haven't already) examine the folder structure in the folder named "TWRP" and copy the downloaded files (from the thread you linked) to the corresponding location.
But basically, all the nandroid files need to be unzipped than copied to: TWRP/BACKUPS/serial number
Where "serial number" is the actual serial number for your device. The TWRP folder can be on your internal storage, or on the removable SD, depenging on what location you choose in TWRP settings (internal storage is default).
I was using TWRP 2.8.6.0, but the issue was really what you described about it being a recovery and not a flashable ROM. I had figured that out, but missed the exact location because I had not created a backup, and therefore the folder with the serial number was not there. So, I was able to sort that out and restore and all is well again. Thanks for that!
As far as SkyDragon goes, I definitely picked AT&T in AROMA, but there are a few places in the software that still reference T-Mobile, such as in the software version under "about". Perhaps that's just the way it is. I'm still annoyed that I can't get it to work, as I'd rather use a custom ROM, but I can tinker around more now that I have made a proper recovery and can always roll back. Maybe now that I have a proper recovery, I can branch out more. I'll also try re-flashing SkyDragon and choose the "other GSM" to see if it works.
