Hello,
I've tried updating the Odys Genesis to the custom firmware cyanogenMod7 custom rom for odys genesis.
I think i did it the wrong way. I've searched for hours on the internet how to do it, and then i cam across a post that said i just needed to put it on the device and then android would pop up and say: "A new update is available" and i just would have to tap that. So, i did.
The device rebooted and started updating all kinds of stuff in a dos-like enviroment. But now it's only a black screen and saying ANDROID in white letters. I've kept it like that for an hour, and then i tried resetting it (behind the device, hard reset button). I see the Odys brand screen, but then it's back at the black screen with android on it again.
Is there any hope left? Can i do something to fix it?
I've tried searching for hours on the internet, and i came up with absolutly nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
I found out a little bit more:
- My problem is called a boot-loop. It seems like it anyway, i only see a tiny white text saying 'android'.
- I can't find anywhere on the internet if there's a recovery mode for the Odys Genesis.
- The device will turn on with any button-combination, except when i press menu+power or power+reset.
I have been looking at Odin, cause that should be a unbrick-program for android phones. But it seems you need specific firmware for your model. Can i just use the original firmware update from the website of the manufacturer?
Or am i just totally ****ed? Just a reaction alone would be appreciated !
Solution
And somebody can close this topic!
I'm extremely happy, cause by a little accident i discovered how i could flash back to the normal firmware.
For somebody who has the same problem, here my solution:
When the device is on the screen only saying android do the following:
- Press the hard reset button (on the back, the tiny hole) and the menu button at the same time.
- The android screen should now go away, and it should like the device is off (although it isn't).
- Plug in the usb cable and connect it to your pc.
- If you had your device previously plugged in to your pc before, the pc will falsly recognize it as 2 hdd's while there isn't any shown in this computer.
To fix that:
- Go to device manager (This computer (right click) -> properties -> device manager)
- Uninstall the falsly drivers, (so there is no driver anymore).
- Disconnect the usb cable and connect it again.
- Windows should now say (or say in device manager) that an unknown device is connected.
- Download the Pc Update Tool and original firmware from the manufacturer website: (can't post url's here, so google Odys Genesis and you will get there)
- At the driver installation window choose you would like to point where the drivers are.
- Choose the dir from the pc update tool, and choose the driver map according to your processor and windows.
- The device should now be installed as a RK2.... something device.
- Start the Pc Update Tool
- The first box below should be green, indicating it sees the device and is ready to flash.
- At the box image, choose the original image downloaded from Odys website.
- Click Upgrade.
All should work well now, the box (log) should keep you informed. It could take a little while.
When it's done, it will tell you in the window. The device should now restart and Boot recovery should start and the device, formatting everything, resetting again and then installing everything. It all could take some while, so be patient.
And that's it.... then everything is working again ! ~!
Please let me know where you downloaded the CM7 ROM from... can't get it from the link in other post
Thanks

I have the same issue, but I have a 64bit Win7 and it just won't work. Windows will not install the original drivers. Any other way to go around it?
I only need make a hard reset, any help??? I don't remember unlock code
I've tried to download original firmware but i can't find it.
This might be a dumb question, but I recently bought a Jiayu G4 and I've been trying to install the drivers on my laptop. Formerly when I connected the phone with the battery in and power on I'd have "JY-G4" show up in my device manager, and when I connected it with the battery out and vol+ pressed I'd get mtk6589 or something along those lines (contrary to everything I read that said I could let go of the volume button after the phone got picked up, I had to keep it pressed or it would disconnect... this is important). Anyway I managed to start installing the driver but I must have accidentally let go because I got a message saying the installation failed because the device was disconnected. Now neither of these devices shows up in the device manager, Windows doesn't try to install the drivers when I connect the phone, etc... how can I retry to install the drivers when the devices don't show up on the list? Did they install correctly after all? I haven't modified the phone at all so I'm pretty sure this is all Windows.
Try this first:
Uninstall (and delete if possible) the driver then reinstall it
Install the USB-Drivers from the Android SDK first (should automatically be checked to install when opening the SDK Manager)
If the above fails here is how to manually install the drivers for USB-debugging:
Method 1:
Download the Google USB drivers from here
Extract the ZIP anywhere
In the Windows Device Manager right click "G Watch" and select to update the drivers
Select search for drivers on the computer (2nd option)
Point Windows to that folder you just extracted (should be called "usb_driver")
Select that folder and Windows should install the correct drivers. You might have to restart the PC.
If method 1 fails (which was the case for me) go to method 2
Method 2:
Again in the Windows Device Manager right click "G Watch" and select to update the drivers
Select search for drivers on the computer (2nd option)
Select choose driver from a list of device drivers on this computer
Choose "Android Device" and click next
Select "Google" as manufacturer and "Android ADB Interface Version X.x.x.x" (newest one, for me it is 9.0.0.0) as model then click next
Select yes in the next dialogue
Windows should now manually install this driver
Remember that you also have to allow USB debugging on the watch first and also accept the warning on the phone that will appear after the watch drivers are correctly installed, else ADB will not work.
The options might not always be accurate as my computer language is set to german and I just freely translated
Make sure you have an up to date ADB version as well. I updated both driver and platform-tools from SDK manager. I loaded the COMPOSITE ADB version 10 driver.
Also you may have to turn on Bluetooth Debuging in Wear App and on Watch before you can get a prompt to authorize your PC ADB connection. This will likely show on the Phone not the watch to accept. (I ran into this issue last night)

take the watch off the charger. turn the screen of your phone on. then place the watch on the dock connected to the pc again. there should now come up a warning on the phone about accepting the usb debugging. accept it and your done.
you probably didn't see the notification before as it comes up on the phone and not the watch so when your phone screen is off you won't see it.
I always get a 'Code 28'-error. Any ideas? It says: "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)"

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Which driver did you select exactly?
Same problem... Can't install driver
So here's what I did.... I downloaded the latest google usb drivers. Putted the usb drivers folder into C disc in a folder android... So C//android/usb_drivers (I don't know if the line I typed is written right but you know where it is and what I'm talking about )
Then I plug in my watch (usb debugging already checked), right click the G watch in device manager. Update drivers.... Search manually to the downloaded usb driver folder (android/usb_drivers).
If I press next it fails. So I have to select my device... The only device closest to what I think is the right device is the Samsung android device.
So I press next it completes but still not properly connected.
Read about the Samsung android device issue... So deleted the drivers completely... Again... Reconnected my watch but it always shows as Samsung android device....
Tried it on Windows 8 and 7...no luck so far...
Haven't tried it with the sdk manager but it's not so clear to me... It is only to download the USB drivers? Or also to install them properly?
Pls help! I wanna root this bit**
Thanks!

help!!
So I bought my Lg G Watch off some dude and it turns out the watch was Rooted. I tried to reset to factory default but it wouldn't let me and then i was told that I had to unroot it first but to do this I need to install the Lg G Watch Drivers which is where my problem lies! When I open device manager my device does not appear anywhere there, I have ADB debugging turned on but apparently I have to have it paired to a phone which I also can't do because in order to pair it to a new phone I have to factory reset it. I'm stuck, someone please help Ive also tried to do the Android SDK way of installing the drivers but nothing there either.

You don't need to unroot the watch to reset it. On the watch just go to settings -> factory reset
Does not appear in device manager
OK I have tried my best to resolve this, but need to ask for help....
My g watch (LG-W100) does not appear on the device manager.... unless in fastboot mode.
I have, in the past, unlocked the bootloader, ghoma'd it (is that a thing?) but as support has now stopped, i returned my watch to stock using the ghoma tool.
I didn't change anything on my 2 pc's that I have used, so I assume it's a "watch" thing, my "about" says...
Software Version 5.0.1 (want to update this)
Build number LWX48P
Android Wear 1.0.5.1627902
Things i have tried....
Reset watch...3 times. enabled adb debugging, enabled bluetooth debugging.
Revoked permissions (was hoping to see a request on my phone, but nothing).
Put watch into fastboot mode (the only time the PC "see's" the watch) and followed the usb driver guides.
Tried to adb from recovery mod, the watch disappears from the device manager then so no adb.
Tried running "OTA Update to Lollipop 5.0.2 from kitkat KNX01Q" whilst in fastboot... no go.
Tried running "LG G Watch Restore Tools" whilst in fastboot... no go.
Cleaning the contacts on the watch and cradle (although as it shows up in fastboot, I don't think this is a problem).
Hitting it.... no go.
Swearing at it... no go.
REALLY Swearing at it... no go!
Last resort, looking on google for solutions... no go
Just to be clear, this is not a "see it in Device manager, click on it, driver update etc".... it does not appear on Device manager unless in fastboot.
Has anyone else come across this? If so, please help!
Thanks for sticking with it this far!

OK, problem solved....
I stumbled over root junky's youtube vid, a comment from a user had a similar problem, root junky's advice, get "LG G Watch Restore Tools V8.zip" from here... Root Junky's excellent site!. Now...
1) Put watch into fastboot mode (hold reset button for 10 seconds, and then when the LG logo come up, swipe from top left to bottom right).
2) Run "1 LG G Watch Tools for Windows.bat"
3) Ensure your watch (device) is shown.
4) Select "6" (Restore your G watch to stock)... let it do it's thing.
5) My watch got stuck in a boot loop....so...
6) Reset into fastboot, then recovery mode (tap ">" twice then tap "o") .
7) When in recovery mode, "wipe data/factory reset" (swipe down twice then right, then OK).
8) Back in recovery mode, "wipe cache partition" (swipe down 3 times then right).
9) Finally "reboot system now"..... my watch then showed up on windows as all tutorials
I then updated firmware from root junky's site (link above)... all good, thanks root junky!
Hopefully this will help someone!
Thanks a million.. method 2 worked for me
I'm trying to install stock rom in my OPPO A57 as it went dead and doesnt turn on. While going through the process i had to install Qualcomm USB drivers . After installing the drivers, there was no connection as it didnt showed up in my device manager. Went through several fix videos on youtube. Many of those tutorial videos showed to update the QHSUSB_bulk (found in device manager) with the qualcomm drivers. Unfortunate thing is there is no QHSUSB_bulk in device manager. How do i install the drivers? why QHSUSB-bulk is not showing in device manager? Help please asap.

By any chance do you have another computer, if you do, try on that one. If not tho, try replacing the USB cable or check if the micro USB port to see if it is damaged somehow, it is always important to check those things first.
I personally own the device and have never faced a issue and even went ahead and installed CM 13.0 on it.
Pleaaaaas
Help me for root my device
S7
I'm going to give u info that you rarely find about this issue.
many users didn't realize that that port will only be active for a very short time. Pressing Power+vol up+vol down at the same time SHOULD ONLY BE DONE AFTER you have load all necessary files into QFIL or DownloadTool, it should the last thing u do.
It is ok to let the device connected to your pc while setting up qfil etc, but your phone must be in shutdown mode.
now open device manager, then press all three buttons at the same time, release aftee you see device manager is showing sign of detection of the qualcomm port, do not wait more than 4 seconds to press DOWNLOAD. And click DOWNLOAD on the QFIL app. I suggest using QFIL v1.0.0.2
after that your phone will reboot normally. QFIL will look like it's still not finish, but it actually had finished flashing so you can close it.
