hey guys, hopefully i can get some help with this...
flashed my Galaxy s2 to 4.0.3 (I9100 XXLPQ) then rooted it using chainfire kernel (followed instrcutions to the tee) everything worked great.. then ran triangleaway app, everythign still fine so far (weo)
a day later i connected my phone to pc to transfer some stuff but it doesnt show up at all anymore. tried connecting on 3x computers w/ different cables. opened device manager, that doesnt pick it up either. kies troubleshoot froze. i decided to do a factory reset (erasing internal sd as well), i had nothing important on the phone anyway. this didnt work. when i try and enable usb storage mode it says i should unplug the cable.so when i unplugand select the mode, it tells me i should connect the cable to use mass storage mode. i plug it in while thats up to see if anything happens...nothing
also there seems to be a huge amount of battery draining going on. this morning i turned on my phone just to complete the charge. i left it for 20min before i left but it was still charging. thought whatever just took it, got to work the thing is like 5% done already
any help would be appreciated thanks!

That's because you have to click under the orange droid to put the phone into mass storage mode. You selected a different USB mode but you have to enable it in order to use it.

How? because i usually do it via menu -> settings-> USB utilities USB mass storage , "connect storage to pc"
Yes, even me now I can't connect to USB not even to the Download mode!
I have no way to even root my phone!!
It's not me, it's more like a general problem floating around!
How about your device-usb driver? they are updated or installed?
I returned my phone to stock, forgetting I uninstalled the phones launcher.
The phone is an AT&T MB511 Motorola Flipout.
I want to install the ADW launcher, but theres no way for me to get to the setting menu, to enable USB debugging, to install the launcher.
I've seen posts that have instructions on how to get into safe mode on some phones. I'm not sure if my phone has that function.
BTW the capacitive buttons and the keyboard do nothing.

try if you are able to get to the USB debugging settings via pressing the menu button at your homescreen.
otherwise you can try to start the adbd in the recovery mode.
this might work but i heard from people who disabled usb debugging and crashed theyr system
afterwards they wanted to flash it back via adb but adb didnt recognize the phone cus usb debugging was turned of
Hi,
My Z Ultra's screen is cracked and i would like to use it for my TV as a Android-Box replacement, because it's actually still usable i think. Now my Problem isn't finding a suitable Rom(i think) or general knowsledge about rooting.
I think i got all the needed tools like a microsoft bluetooth keyboard with touchpad(regular usb mouse and keyboard too if needed), a MHL/USB(all-in-one) OTG adapter, HDMI cable and the universal USB micro to usb adaptercable.
SO my questions are:
1) Can i root without actived USB Debugging? (i can't activate it due to the cracked screen) ...Most important!
2) Is Towelroot still good? Or are there other easy root methods for newbs?
Thanks for reading any maybe helping

I am testing now and mouse works fine with developer options and USB debugging turned off.
Does your phones screen display? I also reread your first post ", a MHL/USB(all-in-one) OTG adapter," the OTG cord I have is just a male micro and female full size USB.
Yes the screen seems to display. i tried it with the z ultra and oneplus one, both didn't respond to a mouse(two different tested with two different otg cables). I still got the S4, will try that on it too later.
Basically you plug it in and you see a mouse cursor or what? i clicked around, but nothing...
Also on my Z Ultra the widget on the screen seems to jump around, just like the stars that move when you touch the screen usually if you get what i mean.

Yes I see a cursor (even on the lockscreen) and it does give the shooting stars effect when swiped. Needed to hold down left mouse button when swiping and then release.
my shooting stars "cursor" seems to either jump around or not appear at all, but nothing happens.
Does anything pop up on the top down menu or does it play sound when connected?
Would this from this thread work on the XZU too, due to it being android based?
Reset Nexus into recovery mode (power & volume down)
2. Connect to PC via USB. Install the USB driver from the SDK so that it appears as an ADB device
3. Fire up the updated toolkit. You should see the nexus as a fast boot device
4. Unlock bootloader
5. Using option 10 on the toolkit load up CWM on the phone. This gives you ADB access so can you pull files off the device via ADB although I could access the SD card through programs like Droid explorer.
6. If you want to carry on further and get into Android properly, you'll need to wipe the cache from within CWM
7. Reboot and hold down the volume key to get back into recovery
8. In the toolkit select root options (option 4) and load temporary image (6) If it hangs on the google or nexus logo you've not wiped the cache.
9. With this second phone I couldn't access it through droid explorer as it was popping up as an MTP device but I could pull the files via command prompt or through the toolkit
10. If you have any use of the touchscreen at all you can run the following command which will then mean that any touch will unlock the device
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
11. You can activate bluetooth via adb if you have a mouse or keyboard available but you will need to be able to press okay on the screen
12. Any changes you make in the unstable android image such as lockscreen, bluetooth, enabling debugging, etc will remain in place when you restart the device.
13. You can relock the bootloader if you wish via the toolkit. You just need to be in recovery mode first.

I have no idea if any of that would work, to me it sound like a lot of it would only apply to Nexus. I checked and the only indication I have that mouse is connected is the scroll wheel lights up. I had three apps that I thought may remotely effect mouse so I uninstalled and rebooted and it still works. I also looked through all the settings menus and can't see anything there.
Is there an app mybe, that would set USB Debugging automatically to enabled just by installing it? I can load apps from playstore to the device
Or do fastboot or recovery mode provide USB debugging enabled?

Or try another mouse, or something because I was able to control via mouse. Here in the states we have a two hour window for refunds, but it is already late here and I should be sleeping or I would offer to test. Here is a YouTube video that shows it working the way it works for me.
http://youtu.be/W8HVEHNOy7I
bought it, but it still needs usb debugging enabled in order to function -_-
thx at least now i know how it SHOULD work :laugh:
it seems i can't use adb driver because this once again needs some android setting enabled.
weird thing is right now that i somehow got into some menu beyond the lockscreen, but still cant do anything :crying:
so close, but so far at the same time
I'm about to buy a fire tv or some other android box and throw the XZU away as it seems its useless in this state without zsb debugging

How old is your Z Ultra? The reason I ask is people have reported very mixed results as to getting screens replaced under warranty. I think I even recall someone who wasn't the original purchaser getting a screen replaced for no charge.
Ok,here is what i tried:
*Different ports and usb cables
*Hard Reset
*Update to newest firware available
*Different PCs
*Uninstalling and Installing HiSuite again and again
I cant get my phone to connect to any PC.It wont give me the USB mode selection option.And even when i change it from Developer options doesnt do anything.
I am out of ideas,any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for trying
this is long shot but try to plug it in comp and while pluged in force restart mob by long pressing power button. saw this method in other thread with usb sound issues
Tried it, unfortunately didn't work.
Still no solution?
I'm facing this issue too. Desperately looking for a solution. :crying:
this worked for me. reset to default settings in dev options.
then re-enable dev options by tapping build #
then re-enable debug mode
I've faced this problem several times, many people don't like to lose their data, in most of the cases, I use tools such as miraclebox, but besides of this one, what other options do I have to, for example, remove the password/pin of a non rooted phone without usb debbuging enabled?
All I want to do is get in the phone without losing data.
go to setting then about then software touch on build 10 times or so. go back to settings developer options should now be visible. usb debugging should be seen here just tick it on. edit sorry didnt realize it was locked nor read fully

Having no access to the phone, because it is locked by password.. In some cases, I can get into fastboot mode, but i dont know if theres a way to activate usb debugging through fastboot :/
