The sdcard is the built-in 16gb storage.
In the guide you will see external sdcard too, that's the optional card
which is a removable one.
so just to clarify i don't need a SDcard to root if im following the guide that's stickied?

Looks like you are not using the Samsung Unified USB driver.
Try this one, this is what I use.
Here is the Samsung Unified USB driver: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13196871580881
Be sure to uninstall kies if it's installed and uninstall any other samsung usb driver,
then reboot windows before installing the unified samsung drivers.
Good Luck!

Do you have the newest KIES installed? I think I read in another thread where someone else experienced this same problem and it finally got corrected when they installed the newest version on their PC.

Help Rooting / USB driver Fujitsu T-01D

Recently got a Fujitsu T-01D and want to know if there is a way to root this phone. Found unlockroot.exe but it seemed to have virus.
Also, on screen capture (not available on this phone), already tried No Root Screenshot It app from Market but it does not work, because the computer does not detect the phone:
http://www.fmworld.net/product/phone/usb/t-01d/download.html
Already installed this official USB driver on the computer, but when the phone is plugged into the comp (via USB debugging mode), the comp still does not detect the phone.
Seems like the computer has problem detecting the phone (both Wins and Mac)
Even the developer of the screenshot app cannot solve the problem
Does anyone know?
P.S. tried another method but still failed:
installed PDAnet on the computer, and then installed PDAnet app from Market to the phone, but the computer still could not detect the phone.
have u press the "turn on USB storage" in the notification bar?
What's the status now? Can you share the unlockroot file for us?
well,you must uninstall the mass storage device in the device manager.
and then the comp will find a unknown device called t-01d,update driver for t-01d.
now comp can detect my t-01d,but i don't find any root tools which really work.

I uninstalled the usb device manager and re-plugged the phone back to the computer and the computer re-installed the driver itself, but the computer still cannot see the phone.
I tested it with the SDK kit ddms tool, it cannot detect the phone

now i know how to make it work!!!!
open folder .android
【Windows XP】
C:\Documents and Settings\<login user>\.android\
【Windows Vista, 7】
C:\Users\<login user>\.android\
creat a new txt file under folder .android,write 0x04C5 in the txt file,and then save file as adb_usb.ini.
now comp can detect my phone with ddms tool,and also root tools.
you may download incorrect driver for phone,this is the ADB driver for T-01D.

Thanks! Now my comp can detect the phone. I tried the No Root Screenshot It App from Market:
http://www.lindylabs.com/screenshot_it/
When I plugged the phone to the computer, and launched the enabler software, it went ok because the computer could see the phone.
But after I enabled it from the computer and tried the phone's no root screenshot app to capture the screen, it would capture but the file would not save. I heard the capture sound, but when I looked at the folder there was nothing.
Any way to fix?
well,I tried the no root screen shot it and it didn't work.
i do not know how to fix it.but the screen shot ux trail work on my T-01D.

Do you know a solution to make the wifi tethering work on this phone? Most carriers do not seem to able to connect (the 3G signal will disappear when tethering is activated)

Hi,
I'm the developer of the "no root screenshot it" application. Please make sure that the phone is DISCONNECTED from the computer when you take the screenshot. If you still have problems, please do the following:
1) start the app
2) goto the 3rd tutorial screen
3) press the menu button
4) send me the error log.
Thanks!

Unfortunately,wifi tether is a japan only feature for no root devices.
You can find this tip 'A subscription to sp-mode is required to use tethering.'
on the docomo official website:
goo.gl/yCk4g
and docomo don't provide Hong Kong Service.
So waiting for root.
Finally,i am sorry for my English.It may confused you,and i always forget capital letters.

Kies problem

Hi,
I have S2 and for months i backup and sync my phone via kies to my outlook. One day I update the kies software on my computer, and since then kies on my computer doesn’t work properly.
Regardless if the phone connect to the computer or not, it doesn’t show any icons in the program window and the menu options are block except the help option, see the photo.
I tried to remove and reinstall software, even remove it from the registry, waited for new upgrades, downgrade to previous version that work well on my computer, tried to upgrade java and reinstall Silverlight but nothing fix it.
I have windows 7 64bit and Kies_2.3.3.12085_7_5 version.
What else should I do??
Thanks in advance

Does your phone get detected by Windows (not Kies), i.e. can you access files on the phone using the Windows explorer?

Therefore USB cable, port and driver are most likely working fine. Did you try from another PC, i.e. an entirely different installation of Kies on another machine?

You are right; I don’t think it related to the phone because even after new Kies installation from scratch without connecting the phone, I get at the startup window the same problem (no icons on the home window and disable options).
On another PC its work well but I need it to work well with my workstation PC at work to sync meeting & etc.
What can I change in my computer that might affect it? After all it did work well in past.
Is that so complicated issue? maybe you can refer me to another place that can handle this.

I do not know how complicated the issue is. If I knew the solution I would have posted it, believe me. I tried in vain to reproduce the error you are facing.
I also do not know any better place then XDA to seek for help, but you could try to talk Samsung directly. Sorry but I'm out of ideas
Try this (KIES SGS2 connection working)
I had a big problem with getting my SGS 2 connecting to KIES. I've got repeatedly "Cannot start service ont the device" or "device not detected".
Then I tried several combinations, like:
a. connecting the phone with the SIM and SD card,
b. connecting with SIM w/o SD
c. w/o SIM and with SD
d. w/o SIM and w/o SD
Apparently KIES started to recognize my phone when SIM card was not present (as in c and d). Then I tried to connect the phone with the SIM and SD card in but the SIM was not initilized (i.e. I wasn't entering PIN). KIES recognized the phone and then I was enetring the PIN.
Everuthing worked.
I hope this helps

[Q] Copy sdcard to PC with screen broken

Hi!
I broke the display of my GT-i9100.....(but the phone seems work...sometimes it vibrates)
And I was wondering if I could copy the files of the internal memory (sdcard) on my PC (Ubuntu)...
I tried to connect it via usb running ADB but is says "device offline" and I can't do anything....
I think the " usb debugging" on the phone is on...:good:
The phone is even rooted,,,I'm using CM 10.2 (Android 4.3 nightly)
Unfortunately the screen is all BLACK...(but i think the touchscreen still work)
How can I copy the sdcard??? Any idea??
[p.s. sorry for my bad english]

AFAIK, adb is the only way of retrieving your data. Or you could replace your screen.
Are you sure USB debugging was ON?

Ain't there no way to see the display of the phone on my PC? I mean, something that could make me see what happens on the phone...cuz I can't check if the USB debugging is on if I don't see where are the settings..

broken screen and touch :(

hi all,
I broke both display and touchscreen on my galaxy s5
I need to recover the photos I have on the phone, can anybody help?
I have both a linux and a windows computer, and the stock samsung firmware on the phone (probably android 4.2)
I was reading online that an option would be flashing the firmware to allow me to enter recovery mode, but wouldn't I lose all photos and the whole content of the phone if I flash it? - I haven't got a Sd card in the phone: all images are stored in the internal memory.
Needless to say I can't get anything by simply connecting the phone to a PC:
- on a windows PC, the phone gets recognized and mounted, but it's seen as empty
- on a linux (mint) PC, I tried with mtp but it tells me "couldnt parse extension samsung.com/devisestatus:1"..
any suggestion on how to proceed? Thanks!

If your screen doesn't turn on after a disastrous fall, don't worry, there is a solution:
Look for [Vysor].
This is a Google Chrome extension that you can download from the internet, really easy to use, just install it on the browser and connect your phone to your computer.
Good luck :good:

Nope. That requires Debugging mode to be activated. And I can't activate it as monitor and touchscreen don't work
