Samsung Galaxy S Plus Problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I wanted to give my Friend an old Samsung Galaxy S+ for his birthday.
Because he is a big Cyanogenmod fan, I wanted to install it first (did it already with my S4 mini a few times, so i'm not a newbie).
1. I've installed TWRP Recovery
2. Thats it. It installed mostly correct, but the phone won't boot anymore in the normal OS. It always boots in TWRP Recovery.
I've read, that thats a common problem for TWRP Recovery on this device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330).
So here is my Problem:
The phone doesn't get detected by my Windows 10 PC. Some sort of driver problems...
So I can't install AriesVE and the new Bootloader (see link above), because Odin doesn't detect the phone and Windows 10 says if connected "The device wasn't detected correctly" (if translated right, sorry, i'm german).
Could someone please help me? My Friends birthday is at 28.11, the device should work properly there...

Help, I formatted the system!

I accidently formatted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P7500. It was rooted since before and I entered the boot menu (at start-up) and were trying to find a way to remove the sd card that was on the harddrive, (I found this annoying since I couldn't remove the old owners files from there). I tried the command "format/system" as well as "format/cache" and now I can't start Android anymore. My guess is that I removed Android together with everything else on the harddrive. I basically pressed the self-destruct-button... Well, is there anything I can do to fix this?
I have tried to root it again using this method:[ thedroiddemos.com/2011/08/28/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-video-walkthrough ] All went well until the last reboot. My tablet couldn't start Android, it ended up stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1"-screen.
Therefore I tried to install Android by using this guide: [ youtube.com/watch?v=qmHWAOgqlDk ] This doesn't work since the tablet doesn't pop up as an external harddrive/device when I plug it into the USB. However, the computer does recognize that something is there (it calls it an MTB-device) and it installs drivers automatically. I've also installed Samsung's USB drivers [ Sprint_L710_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0 ].
I had CWM 5 from the start and after the attempt to "re-root" it changed to CWM 4. I had Android version 4 before things went wrong.
I have spent numerous hours on this self inflicted problem already. I hope that someone here is brighter than me and can help me out!

[LG L5] Totally bricked?

LG L5 (E610 )
Windows 8 x64
oryginall usb cable
Hello,
When I was flashing my phone yesterday, something went wrong, and my phone isn't working very well(i guess ). So, i have had Android 4.1.2 on stock non-brand ROM. I've decided ,that i will upgrade it to CM 10 , which has nightly builds. There were no errors during instalation and after reboot i have seen my CM ROM working. BUT, i haven't got any GSM connection, and phone was saying, that "there were errors on refreshing networks list" or smth similiar. I've decided to install baseband switcher from L7 device ( i know, stupid decision .. ) in recovery . I did it, and after reboot i got stripes on my screen. I thinked, that it's bricked, but when I plugged in USB cable to my computer, android boots and , have normal desktop with all features enabld, BUT i don't have ability to go to Emergency mode or Recovery mode ( stripes, stripes everywhere ) . What shall i do, is there a small chance to restore my phone from adb in eclipse, or smth ?

My friend Eclipse is used to build android apps,in our case(Eclipse application is a plug-in that creates an extension for the extension point,to create applications in java form)... http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_What_is_an_Eclipse_application?
As for the bricked phone,its not bricked if it comes on,its called a soft brick and can be fixed by reinstalling a recovery,then a rom that is compatible with your phone.
Diablo 7 is right as your phone is booting up then you are having soft brick it happens to lot of people what you have to do is just flash custom recovery through pc and look for some compatible rom and flash it via recovery
Total brick means it will not boot up it cannot be detected by USB it's boot got corrupt

Ok, thanks for your reply. The thing is, I can't go to recovery or emergency mode, so I think, that i can't use flash tool. What kind of tools, do you mean, which can help me?
EDIT:
Ok, i got it works, First I uninstalled all drivers from my OS, then installed it again from LGMobileSupportTool and using Emergency System Recovery make it works. I'm glad to have Android 4.1.2
Thanks for your replies.
How to do it?
I have the same problem. Can you give me a step-by-step method on how to do it. Thank you very much?

[Q] Nexus 7 weird problem

Hi there,
I own a nexus 7 (2012 version) and it's now in a weird condition.And to be honest I must admit that I think it was my fault because of which my nexus 7 is in this state.
So let's come to the problem and let me explain you all what exactly happened.
I was on stock 4.3 and I tried to root it with the rootkit selecting 4.2.2 as my OS even when I was on 4.3.So it did the process but afterwards when I checked with superuser it said the tablet is not rooted so I left it and later I unlocked it's bootloader and installed cwm recovery touch.Then I wanted to get tablet mod on my nexus 7 so I followed guide here-> ( can't post the link,just search on google for nexus 7 tablet mod,it's on wonderhowto(dot)com named Warning: Your Nexus 7 Tablet Is Not Actually a "Tablet" (But Here's How You Make It One) ) but I never noticed that it was for android 4.2.2 while I was on 4.3,I tried to flash the zip and it said all done! I rebooted my nexus 7 and it was stuck on "x" logo,I wiped data and cache but came with no success,later I went into advanced setting through cwm touch and did some mounts/unmounts (I don't remember which one) then I formatted /data /cache and everything else.Now the device is stuck on google logo and one more problem is that none of my PCs/Laptops recognize it,it simply shows MTP USB DEVICE device driver installation failed,I tried to install drivers manually and now my nexus 7 is listed as android device in device manager but I still can't access it's SD card so that I can copy a ROM.I tried different computers and laptops but no success.
So I wanted your help and if someone could install cwm touch on their nexus 7 and tell me what is mounted and what isn't,I would appreciate it.
Please give me some solution so that at least I could relock my bootloader and claim my warranty.And if anyone knows how can I get my device recognized again on my laptop/Pc,kindly let me know.
Regards-
Suyogya
Use fastboot to install new recovery, then boot to recovery and use adb sideload to install ROM & gapps

[SOLVED] Samsung A51 - No OS

Hello, I am actually brand new to xda-developers, I have did something stupid I guess... So, I had stock firmware and I already have it rooted and installed twrp. At this point, I have tried many many things and it is telling me No OS now with TWRP (I boot-looped it by uninstalling bixby :v) and wiped the data, formatted it, and all of that and more. I keep getting errors with everything, the most common ones I seen is ERROR: 1 and ERROR: 7, I know this is useless information but I had one about updating dynamic partitions with trying to install Lineage OS. I tried installing GApps thinking that would fix it, it tells me that it is made for ROM 11.0.x and told me to download the one for my ROM: 11 (SDK 29). I have no clue what that means or anything, but to me, it seems I have pretty much screwed up my phone somehow all from uninstalling Bixby.
Odin will not work, I have installed the right Samsung drivers (my windows PC is ****ed too, majorly somehow. Might have something to do with it).
ADB will not recognize my device, in twrp recovery or download mode. ADB Sideload function of twrp does not load (sits there forever).
I really, really need help. Please.
TL;DR
Uninstalled Bixby with Lucky Patcher and System App Remover, phone decided to reboot hours later and got stuck in boot-loop.
I have not been able to do anything flashing wise. ADB does not work, so I am stuck transferring files to/from my PC with a USB stick w/ OTG Adapter. It seems to work ok, as I was successful in flashing TWRP recovery (updated it from somewhere).
I need my phone, and it does not function in its current state and I am clueless on what to do (I get all sorts of errors that seem unfixable).
I last had Android 11 (stock firmware) on my phone before it was boot-looped.

Fastest way to contact me: Cyberhound#5672 on Discord.
I will try to respond as fast as I can, but I am without a phone :/
NOTE: I have resolved this issue.
I flashed stock firmware using OTG (just the .img's) and then reinstalled Samsung USB Drivers, restarted my computer, connected an old phone that worked so I could verify if the USB Driver was working (and so ADB as well).
I reconnected in TWRP Recovery, and it worked and showed up on Odin.
I was able to flash stock firmware successfully.
