[Q] Unrevoked Not Recognizing Phone - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched around for this, but I haven't found any answers for my problem. I'm trying to root my droid incredible using unrevoked on my mac, but unrevoked isn't recognizing my phone even though I have it on charge only and usb debugging on. I'm not sure if this could have anything to do with it, but whenever I plug in my phone there is a pop up saying something about ntfs-3g and a problem that it had. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this and get the root to work?

Few ideas
1 install HTC sync, which is on your phone, this will install drivers. After HTC sync and drivers install, delete HTC sync from computer but leave drivers.
2 if that doesn't fix some friends that I've rooted I actually had to change to disk drive once plug in.
Either way make sure drivers are installed. Best of luck

Well you don't need to install any drivers on a mac though. Try disk drive mode.

I tried disk drive mode and it still didn't work

Hmm, I don't think I've ever had that error message pop up that you mentioned in the first post, do you have any trouble doing anything when you connect with USB? Do the drives pop up and you can move files around? And what message is unrevoked giving you when you start it up after connecting your phone? Maybe try switching between charge only and disk drive mode.

It doesn't seem like I'm having any trouble connecting with usb. I'm able to move miles around and put files on it. Unrevoked says "waiting for device. plug in phone now and enable usb debugging." I do everything it says, and I have switched between charge only and disk drive mode but nothing happens.

I'm really not sure what the problem is.. Perhaps a hardware issue? Have you tried different USB cables? Maybe a different computer? Are you running the latest version of OSX?

i'm going to try someone else's computer

im not sure why it wasn't working on my computer, but i'm running unrevoked on a friend's computer and it is working. thanks for the help though.

Alright cool, sorry I couldn't think of anything..

No pc connectivity at all

When I connect my phone to my pc it will charge, but nothing else. No connecting sound or notification on either the phone or pc. What's strange is it was working just days ago. Anyone have an idea?

and have you flashed anything lately

The last rom I flashed was the rc version of cm6 and I had no problems for a few days afterward. And yes debugging is enabled
Wow, did you try a different USB port on the PC? Also did you tried connecting the ph to a different pc? My guess is may be the Rom but try a different USB port and pc first to confirm that...
If you are using the piece of crap USB cable that came with the phone, try a different cable. Seriously.

Have to tried changing the default connection setting to disk drive? Does ur computer recognise the phone at all like coming up in My computer as "Removable disk"? and are u on a stock or custom rom? Also u could try an app like Auto Mount SD card, or Multi Mount your SD card. Think Multi needs phone to be rooted but Auto doesn't. Maybe make sure your using the cable that came with the phone coz not all USB cables are set up for data exchange.

USB debugging problem

I plugged my phone into my computer today, and noticed that my USB debugging didn't come up on my phone. I'm not sure what happened, I can't figure it out. My computer doesn't recognize my phone and my phone doesn't start running USB debugging. Its checked on my phone but maybe my drivers are screwed up somehow. Anyone got any tips?

usb connection to computer
What is it that you are trying to do? If all you want is to see the phone from windows and transfer files, you want debugging off. USB debugging is for using adb commands, or tools that use them, like for rooting.
If you are sure that it is not software problem with your PC (it worked some time ago, you didn't change anything, etc.), than try to clean USB port with soft tooth brush. The USB can have some problems due to oxidation.
I'm trying to go from AOKP 31 to something newer. But my computer used to show me my phone but now it doesn't do anything.

Computer not recognizing Note 2

Has anyone had a problem with this? The only way for me is to go into recovery and mount it. It's connected as a media device.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds silly, but did you try rebooting your computer? I had to do this the other day when mine wasn't recognizing my phone. Rebooted computer, worked fine after.
Samung's drivers are awful. I had to install, reboot, remove, reboot ad nauseum until I finally got the drivers to work. I also found I had to connect the phone then wait a few minutes before the computer would acknowledge the phone.
specteA 187,
I've only ever had the issue if I've tried USB ports on the front of my machine. For some reason those ports can be a bit flaky.
Plugging USB into the back of my machine causes no issues. Weird.
For me, on Windows 8, I have to switch from MTP to PTP, and then back to MTP for it to mount. It sure is wonky.

Yup I tried everything. The only way that works perfectly is to mount the drives via recovery.
My phone doesn't even try to get into mtp mode :/

Try uninstalling the Samsung driver, restart PC, and install driver again. It worked for me

I found that if my computer doesn't recognize my phone, I put my phone into download mode then reboot back to normal and the computer will recognize it. Kind of a pain to have to reboot 2x but seems to work for me.
I've had 5 Samsung smartphones (Captivate, Infuse, GS2, SkyrocketGS2, and now the SGNote2) andI use an XPSP3 desktop computer and have never had any issues with computer recognizing phone until the Note2. Odin3 works like a champ on the Note2... it's the plug-n-play recognition for transferring files back and forth that's problematic. Yes, I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, Kies, etc, used back ports vs front port... I think it has to do with the MTP file transfer protocol now used. Here's what works for me with the Note2 and the PC:
Connect phone to PC... phone's "USB PC Connection" box opens and you have 2 options: MTP(media/files) or PTP (camera). If PC doesn't immediately recognize device, I do one of two things which always works:
1. toggle between MTP and PTP a few times... if that doesn't work,
2. unplug usb from PC port and reinsert (either same port or another)
Windows Explorer will then recognize device and add "SAMSUNG-SGH-I317" under "My Computer" and list it under "Other" devices in panel.
I had this same problem today on my new N2. Drivers would not install. All I wanted to do was to drag my pics and music onto my SD card. I worked around this of course by removing the SD card from the Note and putting it in the adapter and doing it that way. I still haven't gotten my drivers to install. I may just get the drivers off the Internet
+1, my ONLY complaint about this phone.
I gave up trying to find a fix after installing/un-installing/re-installing drivers/kies/odin3 about a bazillion times and only getting it to work a random few times.
Not even worth the effort...
Dropbox is my best alternative. Sure sux tho...

Thanks, Should've mentioned that I've tried all of the above methods. It may be that, since I work on so many Android devices, my pc is just too full of incompatible drivers and I've yet to clear them properly. Even If i did I'm fairly certain that I'll be working on more devices and will screw it up all over again. My network is pretty quick and Dropbox/esFile Explorer is convenient so I really shouldn't complain.

Epic 4g touch will not detect on windows

Well I was going to root my girlfriends phone today, but I cant. Now before you tell me to use a search button, listen.
I tried looking. I've tried every solution I found. Here's what's going on.
I downloaded kies, then connected phone, phone started charging but no detection on windows. I tried a different cable, still nothing.. Uninstalled kies, restarted phone and computer, reinstalled kies and hooked the phone back up. Same deal, charge only but no detection on windows
So I tried another computer, different cable again. Same problem. Charge only, but no detection on windows. I looked at the charging port, no bent, discolored pins. It will charge on an ac charger as well. I have tried everything I know, it won't even detect Odin mode.
Any suggestions?
