Hi guys, I hope you can help.
I'm tech savvy, but this has been driving me bonkers.
I bought a cheap EKEN A90 (Allwinner A10) from China - I can't remember what version of Android it had, but it was a slow and clunky as hell.
To cut a long story short, I tried flashing it with CM9 and CM10 and managed to brick it, only being able to bring it alive with the lovely and helpful people here using livesuite and a custom firmware A90sun4i_crane_t05a_mma7660_20120614-.img and gapps etc etc....and actually works SO much smoother!
Anyway, BEFORE, when I plugged in the USB, it would show up in My Computer (I'm on Windows XP) as 'CRANE' or something like that and was easy to transfer files between my PC and tablet.
Since the new firmware, when I connect to my PC, it comes up as an ADB device, installs drivers (something like WdfColnINstaller or something) and then says it's a Samsung phone! Which I don't want! I just want it to show up in My Computer like it did before!!!
I used to have Kies installed as I have a Galaxy S2, but have since installed it. (btw my phone comes up as a portable device, which I would love the tablet to do!!)
I've tried loads of things; changing cables, USB debugging mode on and off (there's no MTP option on the tablet btw) uninstalling the ADB thing in PC Device Manager, but nothing has worked and it's driving me bonkers!
I've even looked into changing the tablets Device ID (USB\VID_18D&PID_0002) because apperently that notifies Windows that it's an ADB Instance.
Many thanks

Hi everyone, I've been having some serious problems with the usb connection of my samsung galaxy fame (GT-S6810L)
1) I intended to root the phone, but the adb console wouldnt recognise the phone
2) I intended to flash a new rom from odin and maybe root later ... but odin didnt recognise it neither
3) Finallly, I gave up and said to myself "**** it, im sticking with this rom, with my tablet i dont need gaming, so i dont need rooting ...". But when I went to load some music into the phone .... oh yes, the computer didnt recognise the mass usb storage system !
I tried with 3 different cables, all usb ports and A LOT of drivers (official and unnoficial) i found out there ... i also tried the generic ones i used to root my chinese tablet thorugh ADB, but no luck. I havent tried Kies because my pc is a piece of s$%& and it could possibly explode
I think the problem would be in the drivers, because i tried plugin in another phone (samsung galaxy Y pro, GT-B5510L) and the pc didnt recognise it as well
The worst of all is that when I plug the phone into my pc, it recognises that im pluging in something, but I cant work on it
This is what I get:
(i cant post the links of the pictures, but the hardware manager shows a new menu that goes "Android Phone" with a submenu that goes "Samsung Android Interface")
I NEED help, please ............. I might throw this piece of crap in any moment
Thanks in advance
PD: i have winXP 32bit

Did you select the option of USB Debugging mode enabled when connecting to ADB??
If you didn't, then try connecting by enabling that.
As you said no other samsung devices are connecting, then you surely install driver softwares.
Here's the link to the Samsung USB Driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
If you have installed Samsung Kies, disable it first and then try to connect it in Odin or ADB!!
Press thanks if I have helped you.
Yes, i turned on USB debbuging (i rooted my tablet through ADB). I turned it back off when i tried to use mass storage, as well as double checked if the usb thetering was oof (it was)
Ive never installed kies because my pc is pretty crappy (not even 1gb ram)
Ill give that driver a try and let you know, thank you !
EDIT -------------
Those were the drivers !! I love you man !
Hi,
As the title suggests, my HOX+ is no longer being recognized by my pc. I tried to install/reinstall the drivers numerous times,failed.
I tried with htc sync, it says that there is no device connected.
I tried different usb chords still nothing.
The funny thing is that whenever i plug it in, after it says that it failed to install the devices, in the device manager the phone is listed as a "ONE".
Oh and if i plug the phone in my laptop i am able to access it with no problems.
And the whole thing is driving me insane.
device is rooted, running cyanogenmod ver 10.2.1-enrc2b.
After a lot of searching and little info found, i decided to bite the bullet and reinstall my os.
It worked, now my device is fully installed and operational
Hi there,
I reached to the point i'm writing message in this forum cause I honestly tried everything.
Iv'e got a Lenovo s960 which I bought on eBay, recently he decided to make a software update to Android 4.4.2.
So what is the problem?
Iv'e got the phone with custom rom for int'l use (English and with google services), the phone updated to a chinese version without google services, and a bit of english.
Iv'e reached this conclusion based on the internet.
So why can I just root the phone and install another rom?
This is a really strange problem,
I found few information online about this but mostly in ended up without solution, so folks we got a challenge.
When i'm connecting the phone on USB, it's charging but not recognized, the computer "sees nothing", the phone just charging, like it was connected to AC adapter .
Iv'e tried a few computers, a few cables, and tried on Mac OS X and Windows. I noticed that there is a known problem between Win 8.1 and media tek chips, but ever after manual install no change.
The problem is in the phone, the usb option just disappeared, the is no "usb setting" anywhere,
I also tried to enable USB debugging but yet no solution.
Shortly I need to install other rom and to do this I need something to recognize my phone.
And now I have to be honest, I'm taking care of this case for a very close friend, it's huge favor for her, if it was mine I was just buying a new one.
Any help will be blessed,
Thank you
Yarin
Jumping I'm really out of clues
Greetings,
I'll start by giving you a rundown of my device. It is a Acer Liquid E3 running on Android KitKat 4.4.2, kernel 3.4.67. It uses an MTK mt6589 processor. It is pretty much stock apart from the fact it is rooted. The problem started when I attempted to backup my device in ClockworkMod, I was naming my backup and proceeded and then instant black screen. The device will not turn on full stop. I have tried connecting it to my PC but it doesn't recognise it, when trying to boot via adb I get device not found. Same story goes for Flash Tool. I even downloaded OneClick Unbrick as a last hurrah but supposedly no device was connected.
The last time my phone was connected to my PC it recognised it, it was only plugged in for charging though. Therefore I believe my USB drivers are working. USB debugging was also checked as I've never turned it off since first turning it on. Pretty much the only sign of life is the blue LED that comes on when charging. Worst case scenario at least I'll have a brick that shines some light.
On a serious note I would appreciate some advice on the matter. I haven't been in this position before so it may be something simple that I'm overlooking. Thank You for reading and I'm looking forward to your advice!
Hi there! So I have a bizarre rearview mirror that my husband bought in China. It's a mirror with an integrated 5" tablet that is a mirror when off and a tablet when on. It came rooted. It's loaded with a weird, highly stripped down version of Kitkat, and there is no section in settings for developer options. There is also no area with build number, so I can't just tap that 7 times.
I've been trying to flash a new Android OS onto it, but the problem is, I can't seem to get my computer to connect to it. I got the thing into recovery mode, but my computer just sees it as an unknown device, despite my having installed the Google driver, the ADB universal driver, and a couple others, so I'm pretty frustrated. I must admit I don't know what I'm doing, as I usually work with iPhone and Mac. Anyways, can someone help me flash a new Android OS on here and get my computer to see the device in recovery mode to start?
