Hello everyone,
I'm in really deep mess right now.
My rooted (Kingroot) Nexus 7 (2012) WIFI with official Android 5.1.1 was working just fine but I wanted to tweak some things and people were saying that SuperSU has better app support (like Device control etc) so I said I might swap using SuperSU-me app. Before I never connected my tablet to a PC so it's not been verified by the device. But I did turn on the USB development option (7 times tapping). And I do have titanium backup of system and apps data but it's all in the tablet's memory I can't access from my PC.
What is the problem: After I ran the SuperSU-me it asked to reboot. Something went wrong because it stuck in bootloop. Accessing Recovery Mode only gives me only a "No command." note.
Nexus Root Toolkit and SkipSoft ToolKit can't recognize the device and I'm becoming desperate worrying I bricked my device for good.
I found no threads or articles on the internet with this specific problem. If you could help in any way, just sending a link to a discussion or any article or personal experience I'd really be more than happy.
Thank you for any replies, Hrnek Bezucha

i need help, i have tried everywhere and can't find anything and any help would be greatly appreciated
i'm on the road to root my samsung galaxy fascinate and have ran into a laundry list of problems. i have rooted many android phones coming from eclair, froyo, and gingerbread, but seem to be stuck at the slightest of problems when it comes to the fascinate.
i can not install the drivers to the fascinate. i have searched through the web for all the drivers and have tried every possible galaxy driver. the driver simply won't install on my windows 7 prof 64bit machine. i have never ran into this problem before with any other phone. every time i try to install the driver it gets to the very end of the install then pops up with the message "windows was unable to install the driver"
It also gave me the option to view the failed windows installation log, which after many successful steps, at the end the log shows this error:
Action ended 1:26:53: ShowMsiLog. Return value 0.
=== Logging stopped: 12/16/2011 1:26:53 ===
MSI (c) (0C:08) [01:26:53:750]: Product: SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones -- Installation operation failed.

i have also attached the entire log
the first thing i did was plug in the phone, which windows sensed this and automatically installed a driver, not sure which. after this i unplugged the phone and then checked "usb debugging" for rooting purposes and plugged the phone back into the computer which windows then installed another driver automatically, then following the steps from xda to root the phone, i downloaded the given drivers which is where the problem first occurred and the drivers were unable to download.
I'm simply trying to get root access to the phone and can't do anything with the phone with crappy drivers...i can't even mount usb sd card now to transfer data anymore. the drivers have completely been shot. i desperately need help. please
also what is the absolute easiest way to root the fascinate? is it with one click root or with Odin? Because the fascinate just updated itself from 2.2.2 EH05 to 2.3.5 EH03 and i'm not sure which program supports rooting which version of android. also all other android devices simply give root access to the stock rom, which is great cause i get to keep all my apps, messages, contacts...etc, then simply titanium backup everything and transfer it over to the new rom. is it different with the fascinate? will rooting the device simply flash a completely new rooted rom? therefore loosing everything? if anybody has any answers to any of these questions, please be my hero. thanks
Uninstall everything you previously installed in the way of Samsung drivers (in fact, you could use Windows 7 backup and restore to restore your PC to the state it was in the day before you installed the drivers as they are sometimes hard to uninstall completely). Reboot and simply plug your phone (with USB debugging of course), and let Windows automatically install the drivers for you like it did before you installed the ones linked to on XDA. This time, if your PC recognizes your phone, just keep the drivers you have and don't install the ones linked to. Those drivers from the guide are for those whose PC doesn't automatically install working drivers. From that point, just follow the rest of the guide and skip the install drivers part. You will not have to install any further drivers unless you flash an AOSP ROM, in which case you'll have to follow the instructions in the OP of the ROM thread. I hope this works for you.
Has anyone seen John Connor?
awesome thank you, i will try this out, and if this doesnt work i can always try another pc.
and as to the question of rooting the fascinate, like i said before i've never had a phone that has been wiped when i got root access initially, but it seems that everyone is saying that a rooted rom must be flashed from Odin in order to have root access. In other builds it seem that all is done is busybox and superuser are just pushed to the phone. will the fascinate be wiped when initial root is acquired?

root is not flashed via odin, rather cwm is...then the root file su_2.6.3.1 is flashed via cwm. If you need directions section 5 of my guide in general section has it covered...everything needed is there including the correct recovery and root file.
I will tell you what...the Fascinate is probably the biggest pain in the ass phone...I tried forever to root my friends and couldn't get it done...need to try again I guess, but it was a driver issue as well..ODIN just wouldn't recognize the dam phone
Use Droidstyles guide. Very easy to follow. Also, the USB cable for some reason seams to be a bit finicky at times with this device. Unplug from phone and replug. Sounds odd but trust me, I have done this many times.

I am having a problem too and it's not covered anywhere i've seen to date. I've got an XP and a Win7 box at home. On both, I've tried with no drivers and i've tried with every other driver set I can find and every time I hook the phone up to the machine it pops up saying USB device couldn't be recognized or something. I'm going nuts! I've never had so much difficulty in my life, not even the first time changing ROMs on anything.
Droidstyle- I've seen your guide and unless I missed it doesn't cover this. Have you seen or heard of this and have any ideas at all?
Thanks!
Posted this on the general discussion section but have had no replies, hopefully someone here can help?
Hi everyone, first, this is my first post, new to the forums, at least as a registered user. I have a problem with my phone. I know most of you are wondering why I have not just read the other posts on the forums, but I have. I have attempted every solution to the problem posted previously.
Background: Phone: Samsung charge.
I was being impatient and did not want to wait for the gingerbread update form Verizon. I flashed the leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 onto my phone using odin. Everything went great. I was able to use my phone with no problems except shortened battery life, but nothing major. About a month ago the battery life was impossible to maintain and there were some software bugs, like clicks during calls, startup taking forever, around 2 minutes on average!, and random restarts that never happened before. I decided to look up some fixes and found that verizon and samsung had released GB 2.3.6 for the charge. I got excited and decided I wanted to get that, but I could not via OTA. I read some forum posts and they mentioned attempting a factory reset on the phone then trying OTA update. I went ahead with factory reset and everything went fine. My startup time is around 25 seconds now and no random clicks or gliches, but still not on 2.3.6, which was the whole point. I then decided to just flash the stock 2.3.6 rom to the phone.
Problem: When I plug my phone in to multiple computers it will charge but not connect to the computer. This means on my Mac it does not show as an external drive, which it has in the past. On my windows 7 machine it says that drivers were installed but could not be used (I can get the exact quote if needed.) I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device". I have tried to enter download mode when hooked up to windows computers and no connection is found.
Possible solutions attempted and their outcomes:
1. As stated, I attempted the method shown in a thread on droid forums for installing the samsung drivers. I have attempted multiple times to install the drivers on my windows machine and the device remains "unknown".
2. I have attempted multiple cables on multiple computers, both mac and windows 7. No change.
3. I have installed adb and attempted to locate devices using adb devices command on mac. No devices found.
4. I have attempted all methods with both usb debugging checked and unchecked.
5. I have tried every possible usb port I have.
Ideas/questions I have had that I have no idea are possible or how to fix!
Would a factory reset take away the ability to connect to a computer from my phone. So, is there a piece of software in the build I have that controls the connection between the computer and the phone, an identifier of sorts, which is now missing, now that I have reset the leaked ROM.
Is there a way to flash a new ROM without connecting to a computer, via the sd card, and what is that? I have read some things in other posts but am too much of a n00b to understand most of them when using sdcards.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I have been at this for at least 6 hours, sifting through forums, searching google, attempting fixes that others have stated worked for them, only to fail every time. Thank you all.
have you try on a different pc?
maybe on your PC there is some problem with the drivers.
Moreover to connect via
adb u must enable Debug mode on your device in the application menu.
To flash kernel or other directly from your sd you can use the clockwordmode, but to install it you must before
install it and i fear you must use your cable connection

I have tried multiple PCs and a mac, even windows on bootcamp. I have installed drivers on every one, even uninstalled and reinstalled on one. One PC, my laptop was a fresh windows install (it was a linux box but I needed windows to use Odin). I was in debug mode and not in debug mode when attempting adb. Thanks for the suggestions though. As I said, I have tried numerous things and am completely stuck! so frustrating!
"I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device"
Exactly there... you can try to force device to install a different driver.
Double click the unknown device then driver then update driver then find software in your computer then choose manually from a list of device drivers in your computer then show all devices you should see "android adb interface" or something related to google or android.
Try it... i hope this can help you.
Hello community,
I have been trying for 8 hours (5 last night and three so far today) to get this to work but have failed utterly each and every time. I own the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (the Verizon 4G LTE model), and I'd like to revert back to the stock Honeycomb 3.1 that came with my tablet when I first purchased it from my local Verizon Wireless store.
I've followed this guide as closely as my understanding of it allowed me to (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089), and I also followed the video linked to in that topic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krQDP7xYlWg) but I was not able to get Odin to work properly. After trying this on three different computers, I was able to get the third computer to recognize my tablet plugged in via USB and the yellow "COM4" box appeared in Odin, but when I clicked "Start" in Odin, it went all the way up to "Setup Connection" and then sat there for at least 10 minutes, showing no signs of a connection having been established. I've installed the Samsung USB drivers from both the topic linked to previously and from the video linked to previously (uninstalling one before trying to install the other, of course), and my tablet is recognized by the computer, yet Odin still stalls at "Setup Connection". I have not been able to push past this first step to rooting my device in order to revert back to stock Honeycomb 3.1, and this is very frustrating. I did have Download Mode open and the terminal that appeared on my tablet did say "Connected to USB, click [Start] in Odin" (or something to that effect). For what it's worth, all three computers I've tried this on were running Windows 7 64-bit (Ultimate and Professional editions).
Please, if anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, once this is all sorted out, I am not exactly sure how to proceed after getting Odin to push past "Setup Connection". I don't even know if I'm following the correct path to reverting my device back to stock Honeycomb 3.1... as I mentioned before, I am a complete and utter Android noob (just got this tablet for Christmas) and I need all of the assistance that I can receive.
Thanks again, community. Hopefully we can get this sorted out and I can get back to using my tablet soon.
Excellent news: I was able to accomplish my goal without any problems using this concise, yet effective, tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342995
I successfully reverted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (SCH-I905, Verizon 4G LTE model) back to stock Honeycomb 3.1, removing the TouchWiz UX update completely. It's as though I've just picked it up out of the box for the first time, and I am thrilled.
I realized that Windows 7 was creating some issues that was leading Odin to stall at "Setup Connection", so I tried it again in the Windows XP Mode VM on my machine and, after a couple of hours of tinkering and reinstalling Kies, it finally worked. Thanks to XDA for such great tutorials and developers! Hopefully this topic will help others in my shoes in the future.

One click root not working XDA. Someone needs to go back in and put the fix in for ERROR: No partition with identifier "60" exists in the specified PIT
Ive tried everything so far, even uninstalling the phone driver driver to allow samsung driver to reinstall, even manually installed the dev driver. I even tried to use odin3 to install via xda instructions. Odin can detect device if I just plug the phone in but if I put the phone in down load mode and connect, nothing. I checked device mgr and it shows the device in usb connections. WTF, XDA is verizon winning??????
Update:
Well I did discover after all this that I am rooted but I think that s all. When I plugged my phone into the computer Casuals usb showed in the Device Mgr screen instead of Samsung. To confirm I downloaded root checker from the play store and I am rooted via super user. Theres an issue though with putting the phone in download mode and odin detecting.
Update 2
Well it finally just worked and I was able to get odin to detect the phone while in download mode. I am now on root66 !! Help for others: Be persistent, I think it took time for my pc to accept and activate the changes IE: the casual driver replacing the samsung. It literally just happened after about 5 or 6 failed attempts of running the one click root. And it happened after a couple of samsung driver deletions. When the phone was plugged in, I went to device manager on the pc , usb devices and deleted the samsung drivers. I wound up doing this about 3 times. I restarted my computer after this to. Then I plugged the phone in again and there was casual usb controller appearing in device manager, replacing samsung. That was when I discovered I was rooted even though I had gotten the error message that started this post. Later, I went ahead and was able to install root66 by following the xda directions. wow......it was an all day affair but hopefully this will take some of the grey area out for others with this problem.
Thank you XDA for working to [email protected]^! this phone that verizon and google so graciously shoved up our #$% with a warm smile. The wi fi button for the notification bar is not available, I believe this is due to verizon when they put their stink on the phone. I would like to get that back if possible. Also the google search popping up when you plug the headset jack in is still there, but you can go into settings/task mgr/ all aps and scroll down to google search and disable it. The annoying pop up voice search hasnt showed up since I did this.
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?
