Hello to all,
I tried to install GrapheneOS today.
I managed to unlock the bootloader.
But when I had to install GrapheneOS I encountered the error "Error: Failed to execute 'claimInterface' on 'USBDevice': Unable to claim interface." with the installation via the web interface of my browser (there were disconnections while I just used the new cable of my Pixel) and another connection error but I don't remember it ("device not found" maybe)
Before this, I tried the command line installation from Windows 11 and encountered the "waiting for any device" error when running "./flash-all.bat"
I should point out that I had performed the driver search via Windows update and Windows had not found anything even in the optional updates.
When I went to the device manager, I didn't see any devices that needed drivers installed / I didn't see the Pixel (which was connected via USB-C / USB-C (Thunderbolt)
So my assumption is that the powershell script ran when I tried to install GrapheneOS (it was still running in the background, I should have stopped closing Powershell) via the browser-based installation and there was a disconnect which resulted in a brick.
After the ROM flash attempt, I rebooted my phone and got the warning tips about the bootloader being unlocked and the ROM not being official with the traditional "g.co/ABH" link.
My second hypothesis is that my phone has no battery left because it came without a charger, so I used the charger of my OnePlus to charge it but it was charging very slowly (estimated 3+ days...).
What do you think about it ?
Should I buy the official Google 30W charger to see what it does? even if I think I have no choice.
Do you think I could debrick my phone (if it is bricked) ?
I am attaching a picture of what my phone is currently displaying (even when it is not plugged in)
take phone off the laptop and charge over night, if the oem unlock is enabled, there shouldnt be any issue in using google recovery or flashing any other method
Ok thank you, I'll do that
Hope it will work

Make sure you have this installed. Also, would suggest you use USB-C to USB-A.
Also make sure your Platform Tools are up-to-date.
You can also use Android Flash Tool to get back to stock.

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.
I have searched (I have 12 tabs open as I type) these forums. I see a few similar cases but I am not finding a solution. I have use CMHENDRA's guides but I am having no luck. (It is my daughters phone so I will give you what information I know) BTW, I contribute in the Note II galleries, I have rooted and flashed HTC One X, Several Nexus 7's, my Note II, Galaxy SII, Galaxy S, HTC Sensations, Nexus 4 and a few older ones. I can currently see all those phones on my laptop. Not the L9.
I believe my son tried to flash CWM for my daughter. She is notoriously rough on phones and he was trying to make sure she was protected. The phone boots into the LG Security Error screen. I can get it to boot into S/W Upgrade mode. I have completed or can complete all the steps to most of the guide. I CANNOT get my Win8.1 laptop or my sons Win7 laptop to recognize the phone to complete any of the guides. B2C, Fastboot, etc. I can see various entries in the Device Manager, I uninstall and reinstall with Driver Signing turned off. I have now reached the point where I have done so many things that I have probably confused myself.
When it did get the security error, the software had been set to USB Debugging and Unknown Sources was allowed. The firmware was 20H. B2C cannot get the phone information (I know it is probably the drivers as is everything else).
Any help, ideas, etc. would be great. I would love to be a hero for my daughter.

I can't get mine to work either. Closest thing I've gotten is using omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21
its different from some of the others, in that its a blue background and it doesnt actually list the p769. However, after selecting option 5, and following onscreen instructions, I was able to get my front capacitive buttons to light up, but nothing else. I can't enter S/W upgrade mode, I can't get LG recovery tool to recognise my phone, I am absolutely **** out of luck. I dont know if using omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21 will help or hurt you, but im just explaining my experiences.
Have you installed the omap driver for fastboot?
Thanks for your replies. Windows 8.1 is installing the OMAP driver and when I try to update it, Windows says it has determined that I have the best one installed already or some BS like that. That seems to be the last piece of the puzzle. I am not getting it to use the fastboot commands and when I am in the LG upgrade thing, it cannot connect on the first of the three calls so it says to check the USB cord and connection. ( I have tried 5-6 cords including the OEM cord ).
Thanks again for your help. I will uninstall the OMAP drivers when I get home and see if I can't get the ones I downloaded to install.
I don't have Windows 8.1 so I'm not sure how to address the driver issue. I reer as wel.commend you uninstall the driver, both of them. The one under Android Phone in the device manager and the one called TI Boards in the device manager.
1. Uninstall all OMAP drives (Two of them)
2. Disconnect from the internet (to preventing Windows update from selecting its own driver.
3. Follow steps to fastboot. When connecting your phone have device manager open and right click the device that is flashing on and off (you will see the device manager refreshing and stuffs. It will dissappear after about two seconds but if you get the right click in and the option to install the driver, do it, point to the fastboot driver.
4. Disconnect phone after driver install and pull the battery.
5. Fastboot again, using option 1.
6. Quickly install same driver on the new device in device manager. Be quick.
7. Disconnect, Pull battery
8. Fastboot again
9. Flash ICS U and X
10. Make sure your LG drivers are installed.
11. Reboot PC.
12. Now you should be able to get into SW UPGRADE MODE with the plugging in of the USB
Should not lock up at 15%, make sure you have drivers installed for this.
13. Should work and reboot to home screen automatically.
14. If you really must, fastboot again and install JB U and X

So after flashing 10/17/15 release of Tesla Arc_Flash I am unable to connect to the phone through adb without deleting the driver and adding it as an adb device. I have installed the LG G3 Verizon drivers but I am still not able to connect. In the device manager it shows that the drivers aren't there but also that they are there as a portable device. hxxp://tinypic.com/r/30ua82f/8
Also the command prompt is below. Brand new adb server started.
hxxp://tinypic.com/r/71myr4/8
Any help would be appreciated. If you need logs or anything else I am happy to provide it. Also since I feel this may get asked... Yes I have USB Debugging turned on. Have tried with Root for adb on and off and nothing seems to work. I can get it to connect through network but I don't want to constantly have to look for the IP address and port. This was also an issue in the previous release of Arc_Flash so please let me know.
Hi! Exactly what drive did you install and where did you get it from? Here is where I get the driver from http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGVS985. Try rebooting the PC (without the phone connected) after installing the driver. Using the original cable that came with it, connect the phone to a different USB 2.0 port than you had tried previously - it can take up to 10 minutes to finish loading the driver. When it's complete Device Manager should have a listing for the phone in the Modem section, which isn't currently listed in your screenshot. Until you can get that solved you won't be able to reach it with adb.
Have you searched the Tesla ROM thread to see if anyone else has had the issue, in case it's specific to Tesla?

I searched the ROM thread but found nothing matching what I am experiencing but I followed everything even close to it. I installed those drivers just now and restarted both computer and phone. Still comes up as an unknown driver. There is no modem section inside of the computer still. I can manually add the drivers but it still doesn't seem to help.
Also to add. I also have tried to add it as a modem and it gives Windows Error code (10) that it can not start the driver. I forgot to mention. Windows 10.
Well, I've connected to my phone via adb and used the LG flash tools on Windows 10 last week or the week before, although I have my insider updates set to Fast Ring and I kinda regret it because there was a recent huge push of a beta Windows, and they've broken how I had my video associations set up and I can't get my subtitles to work any more either. Sorry for off topic. My point is since Windows 10 is considered a constant "change in progress", and especially for people like me who joined to get "insider" builds, it's hard to tell what makes things not work. My main reason for even being on Windows 10 is to see what they come up with in their insider builds, but I guess when it mucks with my video enjoying ability, I start losing my patience.
I would seriously consider trying a different PC, or if you have the capability of performing a fresh Windows installation, even of Windows 10, that very possibly would fix it. Or if you just recently, within the last 30 days, upgraded from an earlier Windows to Windows 10, and didn't perform a clean installation, you can revert the upgrade through the the Windows settings. No idea if reverting would solve the problem, either, though.
As @bweN diorD pointed out in another similar thread just yesterday or the day before, when someone in your situation ends up trying a different PC, then everything goes smoothly. As far as the cause, there's too many variables.
If you can't use anyone else's PC, there's an outside chance that you could even do it at a library computer, as long as you don't reboot the PC (which I usually recommend after initially installing the driver, but sometimes things work fine without that). Rebooting a library PC usually undoes all changes, putting it back exactly the way it was.
Let us know how you make out.
Hello,
I have a rooted Ematic EGS-102. Following some instructions to swap my internal sd with the external one (as the memory where the apps' data get downloaded to was only 500MBs), I believe I have typed something incorrectly inside the vold.fstab file, because after rebooting my tablet it's forever stuck on the logo screen. This is my first android tablet so please bear with me. The solution that comes to mind is to open the root files by some program on my PC and edit the vold.fstab file back (I even have a backed up version of it from a few weeks earlier), or even flash a new ROM. Now, the problem is, my computer cannot see my tablet when I connect it through USB. At all. Back before when the tablet was fine, I could use the USB to transfer files to and from my computer, but after I killed my tablet, my computer doesn't even make the sound which indicates that a USB device has been connected.
I have tried changing the USB cable and the port where I connect it to (never mind that the same cable and port work with other devices), to no avail. Having given up on the USB method working, I decided to follow some instructions on installing a custom ROM that has worked on EGS-004, and according to the one who posted that, would work on other variants such as EGS-102. Basically It was steps to installing the ROM from the external card through Recovery mode, which I followed thoroughly to no avail. The tablet still gets stuck on the "ematic" logo start screen.
I've noticed that in the Device Manager my tablet is displayed as "USB Device(VID_1f3a_PID_efe8)" with a yellow triangle mark indicating that it's not working properly (code 10). I tried searching that error code and trying all the solutions I found to no avail, including updating the driver (just refuses to update and keeps telling me that my driver is up to date.)
Sadly all the other methods that would have a decent shot at working (Root explorer on PC, android recovery program, even a flash EGS-004 firmware method on ematic's website) requires USB. I'm out of solutions, and unless I can get the USB to work somehow, or find out why the ROM method didn't work, my tablet would officially be dead. I'm utterly miserable that such a stupid mistake on my part ruined my tablet, and I have no way of buying another (broke student here) or returning it (out of warranty and I'm pretty sure I voided it anyway). I would absolutely appreciate any help, and thanks in advance.
Edit: It's stuck on logo screen, not a bootloop. I'm terribly sorry for this confusion, my head isn't straight right now.
Still haven't found a solution :/
I purchased a Pixel 6 advertised as unlocked, but the OEM unlock option was greyed out in Developer Tools. I read somewhere that giving it the OTA update for at least June 2022 would unlock it, so I set out to do that.
After many issues trying to get the computer and phone to communicate, I found I should just use the ADB 1.0.32 binary (Linux), then try a combination of killing ADB, unplugging the phone, plugging it back in, starting ADB, etc., etc. until there is no longer "offline", "no device", or "unauthorized" shown. Eventually, I got it to communicate once it recognized the phone as being in "sideload" status.
So, after running `./adb_Linux sideload oriole-ota-sq3a.220705.003-17fec7eb.zip`, it finally did something. Except, it was stuck at, "Verifying update package..." No matter how many times I reach this point, no matter how many minutes or hours I wait, nothing happens.
Any ideas? I couldn't find any solutions or similar problems posted anywhere.
Since you're mucking around with ota's, it sounds like you are deliberately keeping it disconnected from the network, otherwise it would prompt you with an update almost immediately and there would be no need for this.
In order for the unlocking switch to be enabled, the phone MUST be connected to the network.
Also be CERTAIN that your device is a Pixel 6 and not a Pixel 6a. The 6a is the one that needs a particular update version in order for unlocking to work due to a bug. The 6 will unlock just fine on factory firmware. Assuming that you have a 6a, this would explain why trying to install "oriole" firmware would fail for you since it is a DIFFERENT PHONE.
So I take it no one has found a solution for not connecting it to the network in order to unlock it? There have been some workarounds for other devices, so I'm just asking.

I don't see it as a huge issue in need of a resolution. Google does NOT blacklist you in any way for unlocking the bootloader, and they already know all of the identifying codes on every phone anyway so its not like you're keeping any information from them. Just don't put a sim card in it before unlocking it, and if you're worried they will connect the phone with your IP address, use a VPN or public AP.
USB C to USB 2.0 will work. USB C to C will not, ADB does not have the proper protocols to work with USB C. I have tried with myself. My computer has Gen2 3.1 USB C. Transferring files between are fast. But when sideload mode, it doesn't work. After investigating this issue, it was ADB not the computer nor the phone. Finally got it work once I put it in a 2.0 USB.

His comments seem to have a lot to do with this thread. Clearly, at least to me, he tried sideloading and had a problem. He was simply relaying what he tried to fix it.

Clearly there is something to that... I had my Pixel 6 Pro sit at verifying (on phone screen) and 0% (in cmd window) for over an hour before i found this helpful comment. Killed the process (CTRL+C), then force rebooted into recovery (Power + VolUP) without trying to start the device because there was already an "install failed dont reboot" warning and then plugged it into the last remaining USB 2.0 port. There, the verification was done in 101 seconds and the flashing started when the cmd window hit about 50%.
The Pixel 6 Pro is just rebooting into Android 13 while typing this message.
Thank you for pointing this problem out.
[EDIT]
I might want to add that this happened on a Gigabyte Z390 board that has mostly USB 3 and one USB C plus just one USB 2.0 port out front. I could imagine this not applying to all USB C ports on PCs. Maybe its just because of the older Intel platform or the active (with its own controller chip inside) USB-PD cable i was using.
Yep same thing on my XPS 9710 which only has TB4 ports: using a TB4 to USB A adapter and then an A to C cable worked, stupid of Google to not include native C support since they have been using C as the standard since 2016 with the Nexus 6P lol.
I think the USB issue might be more of a combination of thighs, since when I tried to sideload through classic C to A cable it was really slow and basically got stuck at like 5%, then I used "higher quality" C to C cable and the update was done in minute.

Yep. This the bloody fix! Exact same problem. Stuck at verifying at 2% for the September patch. I switched USB ports from my new laptop to the dock itself and finally, sideloaded it. Does ADB need to be updated to work with USB 3.0?
