Ok so I have a problem and was hoping this would be a good place to solve my issue. Ok so after I rooted my Nexus 5, I decided to download the 4.4.2 update manually. But somehow I lost my root access, though I'm still rooted if that makes sense. I want to reroot my phone again but nothing happens when I plug my phone to my computer via USB. Then I discovered USB debugging won't turn off, and every time I try turning off developers options or USB debugging, my phone reboots itself. Please Help .

before I root my vibrant, If I connect my phone to PC(NO debugging mode), it was working as mass storage.
After rooted, It has to be debugging mode all the time, whenever I try to access to mass storage of my phone.
If no debugging mode, it only charge my phone.
So I thought, It will work if I do unroot my phone.
So I finally unroot my phone!(No more Superuser and try to use quickboot and asking my to root my phone.)
But still it only charging my phone without debugging mode.
The problem with the debugging mode is, if the samsung android driver is not installed, it won't reconize the phone. I use my phone as memory stick a lot of times. So I usually connect to my phone a lots of different computer.
So I want to be able to connect my phone using as mass storage with no driver needed.
Is there any possible way to fix this problem???
tried with usb debugging on and off and it's the same. no option in drop down menu to connect and no response on my home or work pc
it gets power from the usb conn but nothing else.
anyone have any ideas what's up?
Did you try a new data cable?
sent from my stock Infuse at Tranquility Base.
no, will try when i get home. i did try going to recovery and mouting there. same. what i did get this time is some mtp connection thing appearing in the menu?
Occasionally had this problem myself.
Usually I just had forgotten to turn USB debug off, but since you've done that the next two options to try are using a different data cable, or restarting phone & PC.
Lastly, if all that fails try removing and reinstalling the drivers for the device.
Hope this helps.
ta guys. i turn on usb debugging to get the 2 parititions to show as 2 normal drives on my pc. with usb debug off, i get the whole kies nightmare which i hate - at least, i did. now i don't really get anything.
will try after work (in for 16 hours today so no chance to try at home yet)
Try with the drivers, it has worked for me before.
i did a full factory reset and date wipe, then flashed a fresh rom. that worked for me back then
well, i'm glad to say that after getting my new mouse and using it's charge cable - alls fine

Just download the newest version of Unlockroot. Then plug your phone in to your USB port without debugging mode on. Wait for the phone to be recognised and turn on file sharing on the phone. Open unlockroot. Then finnaly turn on USB debugging mode on the phone (it will let you at this point. Click on root in unlockroot. (make sure you have internet connection on pc). Wait a minute or two, unlock root will ask you if you want to intall some software on the phone, answer "no", when it asks you to reboot the phone click "yes". Your phone will shut off but not reboot. Just unplug it from the USB, and manually turn it on. You are rooted. Have it on my Hisense U2 working like a charm. Now just need a digital signature to install updates from SD card. Any help?

I tried flashing CWM recovery onto my AT&T Galaxy S4 and because my phone does not connect to my computer via USB for some reason (the phone charges and my computer recognizes that there's a device in, but I cannot actually do anything with it) I flashed it with Flashify. I rebooted into recovery mode, and I got slapped with the "Unauthorized software has been detected on your phone!" message. So I tried rebooting, and I got stuck in a recovery mode bootloop with the same message. Eventually, I realized if I just go into download mode and reboot by pressing the volume down key, it doesn't try to go into recovery mode. I have already endlessly researched my USB problem, and yes, I DO have USB debugging on. ODIN recognizes that I have an external device in as well, but I haven't tried flashing anything onto my phone with it because I don't want to brick my phone because the connection to my PC is faulty. I'm using the charger that came with the device as my USB drive, so that's not faulty either. I know rooting my phone did this, and I'm pretty sure it's because I missed a step. I used this tutorial to root my phone:
[droid views dot com] /root-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-android-4-4-4-kitkat-firmware-i337ucufnj4/ (I'm not allowed to post links yet, so fix the URL if you're gonna have a look)
When I flashed the I337_NC1_Stock_Kernel, my phone refused to go into download mode and I couldn't flash the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel as a result. I'm pretty sure that's what caused it, but I have no idea how to fix it. I'm not an expert with my phone and, despite almost soft-bricking my phone via a corrupt CWM .zip, I'm not a newbie at this either. If I could figure out how to fix this problem, I wouldn't have to worry about throwing myself into a bootloop because I can just use ODIN. I was a sitting duck before download mode rescued me, so I'd like some help as to how I can accomplish this. Any and all help is appreciated. I am 100% certain my device is the right version for that tutorial, I wouldn't try to root my phone without checking all of the simple things first.
Hi all,
I wonder if somebody could help me.
At the moment I have a Z5 compact with a broken screen (totally black) and touch. I know it still can boot, because it responds to my fingerprint when booted up. However, it does respond to my finger, but still needs a patern on first boot, which I cannot do on account of the broken touch screen. Also, my computer detects the phone.
I want to access my data, but for that I would have to use the onscreen menu which pops up when I connect the phone with usb. That's impossible.
I looked around on the internet and it is possible to remotely control the screen or access via adb. However, for that I either need to install some app on the phone, enable usb-debugging or authorise access via adb. All of those are impossible.
My phone has un unlocked bootloader and is rooted, so as a last resort I've tried to flash a modified kernel to enable usb debugging by default. This fails. Probably because I make some mistake in modifying the kernel, but I don't know. There's not a lot of response from my phone, as you understand ... Besides, I've absolutely no experience modding myself.
Anybody any idea, please?
So I just fixed the same issue you're having this week. It required opening up the phone.
Basically the ribbon cable that connects the screen to the motherboard had become unseated and needed to be plugged back in for me.
The Z5C isn't the easiest phone to take apart but it's not that difficult either. Just requires some basic tools (Hair dryer, tweezers and some precision screw drivers). There's a bunch of videos showing you how on ifixit or youtube. You just have to go all the way to the part where they flip over the motherboard and unplug the two ribbon cables, one of those two will be the culprit.
This is the first and only phone I've taken apart so any amateur can do this.
Boot to recovery and connect your phone to PC

Yes, actually I've had problems with a broken backlight before and opening the phone and re-adjusting the cable solved that. Not in this case however. Thanks for your suggestion, anyways.

Would recovery provide me with some way to enter my pattern via a PC, e.g. with ADB?
Actually, I'm not sure I had any recovery installed at all. I've tried this before and just tried it again. I press the on/off-button while holding volume down. After that no response whatsoever. My computer does not see any device when connected. I suppose my recovery does not work properly, but without screen I can't be certain.
mlleemiles, you are a _hero_!
After reading your post I decided to try flashing another recovery to try if that might work. Now I can access my files without ever having entered any pattern .
Nevermind that it turns out my files weren't encrypted and I thought they were.
If anyone has a similar problem in the future, this is what worked for me:
My exact situation:
- My phone runs a stock rom (downloaded from XperiCheck) with version 32.4.A.1.54. When my phone was still running ok I had the bootloader unlocked and my device rooted with Rootkernel.
Working solution:
- I downloaded Twrp, version 3.2.1, from this page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/development/twrp-twrp-3-2-1-z5-compact-t3748952
- Shut down my phone by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it again
- Started my phone in fastboot mode and flashed recovery to my phone with:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_suzuran_220218_2.img
- Booted my phone in recovery with volume down + on/off-button.
- Connected my phone to my PC, et voila.
Turns out I can also access my phone with ADB as root, so after backing up the entire internal memory, I might try to get some remote screen tool working.
So thanks for the help and if I find something interesting and new, I'll post that too.
Small update:
After successfully flashing Twrp I backed up the internal memory, so must of the important stuff was safe by then.
However, it turned out that my phone now wouldn't boot into anything other then Twrp. I decided to flash my rom again. First I installed my apb keys using Twrp:
Code:
adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
It turned out I already had usb debugging enabled.
I then flashed my original firmware again, and connected with adb. This time it connected correctly, without me having to click any dialogue on my phone. I fiddled with several remote control Android tools most of which didn't work. Finally, it turned out Vysor does exactly what I want to do. It is a bit unstable, but workable.
Anyways, I've finally managed to copy all the stuff I wanted from my phone.
