Yes, this is a general title, but they only allow me to put so much. I am new to the forum, so please bear with me.
Here's the problem: I connect my phone to my computer and either the driver fails (Samsung USB Composite or MTP) or my computer (finally) recognizes my phone, installs drivers correctly, but when I go to look for files, nothing shows up.
What I've done:
-I'm using the original USB cable that came with my phone and it charges fine
-I've plugged it into all available USB ports
-I've restarted the phone numerous times, taken out the SD card and the SIM card with no luck
-I've uninstalled the Samsung drivers and done the same
-I'm running stock ROM, even flash reset a couple times with the same problem
-I'm running the latest software from Verizon
-I've tried switching USB debugging on and off, only gives me further errors such as that the phone can't recognize the system I'm running with my computer being unable to install the drivers correctly
I have a hunch that the Micro USB input from the phone may be to blame, but I'd like to get an opinion from the forum before I decide to send it to the store to get it replaced or fixed. It also could be just a bad ROM flash, but again I'd like to get an opinion before I absolutely have to do so.
EDIT: I apologize, I'm running Windows 7 by the way.
i am going though this right now too. I just stopped working tonight worked for the past 3 days
When mtp is the problem I've yet to find and answer. It's something to do with your computer I just can't recall right now. I researched it once because I had a that sane problem. Never did fix it. If they are both on a wifi network you can use airdroid it works great, that's what I ended up doing.

Good tip! I hadn't considered transferring through bluetooth or WiFi yet. I'll look into it, but I would still like to have a fix for the USB.

It could just be the latest firmware. It's still a new phone, and I'm sure Samsung/Verizon haven't fixed all the bugs yet. What OS do you run? I run W7, but it's dual booted on my iMac, and the Mac side doesn't work either.

uummm.... DOH!!!
So, I forgot last night.. you ever done that? I had been bouncing my 9week old daughter for a while and at 12:30am I finally got her to go to sleep. I was playing with my phone... I opened GooManager, and told it to install T.W.R.P. on my Galaxy Note 2 (i605 Verizon Wireless)
But I didn't realize that i had forgotten to unlock the boot loader after last weekend's Rom-a-thon (I put 5 ROMs on my phone then wen't back to stock, then rooted).
Given that I was not un-locked..... My phone went into the Yellow Caution symbol and told me that I had to go to a VZW store, (lol, yeah right!). So I took my phone to my laptop (Dell E4310) on Win8 x64 Ent, Odin3 v3.07 did not see my phone!!! Then to Win 7 x64 Ent, Dual booted dell... FAIL!!! And then to my MSI GX720 Win 7 x64 Pro, FAIL!!
Ok, time to ask the world! I don't know what else to do. Anyone out there with advice please let me know. If i get a solution I will post the steps below...
I went through all the threads i could find about this idea but not actually speaking to this problem. If you know of a solution in another thread please post it here.

It doesn't start to flash because it does not see that i have the device connected, Gets to download mode no issues.
Do you have all the drivers installes? And I know some phones are picky on the cables. So you should be using the factory cable. Aslo try other usb ports.

Thanks guys for the help.
Wish I could tell the others going to read this that there was a real answer here. But all I did was keep trying different cables/USB ports/restart (oh and hear my gorgeous wife's voice
Kindest regards,
DaCracken!
Hey guys. I posted in the Jailbreak thread but didn't get any response. I need help unlocking my bootloader. Here is where I'm at:
My Windows Vista PC sees my phone and Android ADB. The Galaxy Note Toolkit sees my phone. Casual does not. It just sits at "disconnected" and won't let me do anything.
I have disabled every pierce of AV and MSE. I tried every USB port. I have rebooted both phone and PC in varying combinations.
I am a n00b to the GN2 but I'm quite experienced in modding. I am just having problems getting Casual to work.
Please help?

Try unplugging all your USB devices and using a different cable. When using casual I had to uninstall the Sammy mobile device drivers for it to work.

Did that. I tried 2 different Samsung data cables, still nothing. Even did a factory reset since my PC once had an error that my Android ID was missing and I can't check for software updates, thought maybe something went weird with the phone setup. Still nothing.
So I know the drivers are there, I know the data cables are good and I know the ports are working. All AV is shut down. Where is the roadblock here?
On a related note: When I tried to use the connection help on Kies, Kies told me my device wasn't supported. Could that be a part of what I'm running into?
Since VZW has to have their hands in every aspect of things they locked the use of kies. I haven't found a way to get it to work yet. Don't remember if kies air works but that wouldn't help the issue.
This is confusing, the next thing I would try is flashing stock with the .pit file and trying again. Or it could be a java issue since the CASUAL exploit is written in java, that seems more likely to me. In Adam Outlers thread for CASUAL he linked a java checker. Try that and make sure your good with java

What about this:
When I connect my phone to the PC, it initially shows up as an installer. I then have to go in to change it to a MTP device.
Could that be causing this somehow?
It could be. Make it a media device and retry everything. If that doesn't work then find the bay where pirates hangout and get win7 on your computer and retry it. I've only ever rooted on win 7 and win 8

I had this problem too. I had to unlock the hidden menu and set the phone as MTP + ADB to get CASUAL to properly recognize it.

Does anyone have all the cf auto root files and or a good way for me to get my computer to make her note 2 to recognize casual ty for helping this ol'noob out

I was having a problem with the Casual program working too, but now that I got some sleep and looked again; I see that my AV had one of the files in quarantine. I could not get it to let go either, so I had to turn AV off and redownload casual. Works fine now! Also, not sure what phone you said again, but there are nightlies of casual where you might try other versions of it. The link is in one of these threads where you found casual initially.

I'd like to know the answer to this too. I picked up a cheap Zeki TBDG773B for my kid and I wanted to root it to remove ads. I've tried the universal root using that sucky Moborobo program for ADB and nothing is working. I've tried an update.zip for a different zeki model and nothing.
Anyone find anything on this tablet? I've noticed other models are rooted out of the box. Tried installing su and it didn't work.
I'd like to know as well.
I did mine successfully with motochopper, search for it in here. Even though it says its for Motorola/Qualcomm it works on this tablet too. I've had zero luck finding any alternative roms though.

When you plug in your tablet it should down load the drive automatically. Go into about phone, click on the build number 7 times. This should open developer options in the previous menu. Go into developer options and enable USB. Have you done this yet?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If you have enabled USB and it still won't work then its something else. Possibilities are the actual USB cord ( try using a different one) or the USB slot ( try using one of the others if you have any). What Zeki means by "plug and play" is once you plug tour tablet into the USB slot it will start to download the driver automatically. I have always been able to do this, however when booted into adb mode the driver wouldn't work. For this method however, there is no need to boot into adb. Just leave it on as is.

What I have: I have a Sprint Note 3. Model number SM-N900P.. It's flashed to some prepaid company called Red Pocket. I went to this company from PrePayd Wireless but Sprint cut them off and even though they PrePayd found out this information on the Feb 14th but they decided not to tell their customers like myself until the minute before Sprint pulled the plug and my number was trashed with no way of getting it back. This lost me a lot of money smh (I apologize for ranting)
What my goal is: I just want to root the phone so that I can flash CWM or TWRP and get CM Kitkat on the device.
What my problem is: I can not get the device root.. I believe this could be because i can not get my device to give me the MTP option.
What have I tried: I've tried using Orin with CF Root and I use Odin with a CWM and a TWRP .tar . I was going to add the SS. All of this resulted in me rooting my phone in recovery and it giving me the dead android guy. Its like it wont stick to the phone.
I tried Kingo Root and one click as well and its saying that. Kingo said its not connected.
One Click Root cant even detect my phone is plugged in.
Kies says its not compatible and it downloads Kies 3.
Kies 3 just sits on a screen that says my phone needs to be in MTP mode.
I have installed the Samsung drivers. I even installed a brand new copy of windows 7 ultimate on a brand new hard drive just so i could start from scratch with the drivers because my other hard drive wouldn't even recognize the phone. This one is recognizing the phone and I re-installed the driver thru Kies and they all installed. I don't know what else to do. Please help.
I apologize if this was on another thread i search kind of hard for this problem before i made a new post

I've already did this as my first initial post suggest. Kingo root won't detect my device. It's only says it's not connected. I have Kies 3 installed as Kies 1 said it was not supported. I have all my drivers installed manually and Kies installed the rest I guess but Kies is only saying that I need to put my phone on MTP which I have no option for. My device is on Stock 4.3

I've already did this as my first initial post suggest. Kingo root won't detect my device. It's only says it's not connected. I have Kies 3 installed as Kies 1 said it was not supported. I have all my drivers installed manually and Kies installed the rest I guess but Kies is only saying that I need to put my phone on MTP which I have no option for. My device is on Stock 4.3

Sorry I guess I only skimmed the first post and got anxious to feel smart. I blame my device for my deficient of attention

Yes and I've changed cords. I need to figure out why my device will not show the MTP option. I'm almost sure that once I get that to work I'll be ok.
