How to check if phone is rooted?!

Is there a way to check if my phone has successfully rooted i.e. what would show in the software section of "about phone" and how would that differ from the standard generic rom?
Had a coupld of error during rooting but it appeared to go all the way through but just want to make sure!
Thanks

Youll have a programme called superuser permissions!
Lets hope we beat fulham on sunday

Spot on, I'm rooted! Only issue now is that I can't get into recovery mode on my windows 7 machine. Had to borrow a mates xp machine which I now don't have access to so bugger all point rooting seen as I can't install custom roms!
Are we likely to eventually get the ability to flash straight from the memory card?
Bit nervous about the weekend, if we slip up Tottenham will go 3rd. Not sure I could live with the shame!

you could install ubuntu? its a small os. you literally download wubi and it does it all for you!
lol yes i know! we should win though, andrei is back lol

huh? I still can get into the recovery mode using windows 7 64 bit without problem. just make sure u run as administrator.

Can't get it to work on windows 7 for love nor money! Using 64 bit edition if it makes any odds. I assumed that I was running as admin but just in case, how would I make 100% sure? Basically fails to connect every time.
Made a bootable usb with Linux on it but had no idea what I was doing once I got in! Tried running the recovery-linux.sh file in the terminal but no luck! Terminal popped up and disappeared just as quickly. Couldn't work out how to run it direct from the terminal to see the feedback!

Does the phone get recognized by your computer before you run the recovery? Do you hear the USB duh-duh device connected sound? If it fails to connect, it's just because USB hasn't found it yet. Give it a minute or check if it's missing drivers. You can ensure you're running as admin by just right clicking and selecting run as adminstrator. It should pop up a box asking if you're sure.
I routinely get into recovery on x64 Win 7, so it's not an OS thing. Keep at it, you can use your own computer.

Right click on command prompt, choose run as administrator i think.

Phone is connected and I can see it in devices and printers section. All drivers are installed as well. Not sure what the issue is. I'm also unable to connect to HTC sync. Had the phone replaced so its not a hardware issue. Very frustrating!

Epic 4g Not recognized on Windows 7 64 bit

I'm from the Evo 4G section of xda and just bought an Epic 4G from a friend to play around with. I've rooted and fully customized my Evo 4G and my uncle's Samsung Infuse. So I am not new to the rooting side of these phones. However, I just can't seem to get this to work no matter how hard I try.
Ok so I have done Google searches and sifted through the various "fixes" here on xda....I cannot, no matter what I do, get my epic 4g to be recognized on my Windows 7 64 bit.
I've downloaded and installed about 3 or 4 different USB driver files. I've gone through 2 different cables. I've uninstalled and even updated drivers via Windows. And I've installed and updated Kies. I bought the phone from a friend of mine who had done a full system restore before he gave it to me. So if there were any system issues they should be gone. When I plug in one of the cables the phone shows that the USB cable is connected and I have USB debugging on. But my computer shows "Uknown Device." Does anyone have any suggestions for me please?
I've included screenshots of what my computer shows me. Any help, or reference literature that I may have overlooked, that you guys can provide would be extremely helpful.

There's a few reasons this could be happening. You may want to try different USB ports on your computer or connecting through a USB hub. Also, make sure you're using the official Samsung drivers (you can search for them on XDA).
Otherwise, go to the dialer on the phone and punch in ##8778# and under USB make sure PDA is checked instead of modem. Hope that helps.

I too could never get win7x64 to work but had no problem on other pc running win7x86. I wasted hours trying. Uninstalled everything, removed all references in registry, used usbdevview, device manager, different usb ports, win update, and on and on and on. Gave up since I had other computer and it just worked 1st try. Please pm me if u find the solution. Would still like it to work on 64 bit. My thought is the 64 bit driver, but I hear others are working. :-O

Mine works fine on my 64bit Laptop. I had to update drivers once though since going to GB leak broke it. On my desktop it will only work if connected in the rear USB port.

I've used atleast 3 different computers with 64 bit windows 7, I never did anything special except for download the drivers from samsungs website...

I don't know what it is because I couldn't get the computer to recognize my phone on my uncle's laptop (which runs Vista 32). It kept giving me the same "Unknown Device" message when I went to look at the drivers.

Welcome to the Epic 4g xda section! It just so happens I was looking for Windows 7 64-bit drivers earlier today.
Here's where I found them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798067
Then scroll down to the section "2.3 – ROOTING" and you'll find the listed drivers there.

I install 32 and 64 bit drivers for the i9000

I have literally the same problem, phone was reconized and connected fine when i was running xp 32 bit, installed windows 7 64 bit and nothing i do will work. Was your problem ever resolved?

All i can say is try extracting the drivers thru 7zip
then extract the files it gives you
then u should see like a folder and then copy and paste the
folder in the c: program files
and then go back to device manager and then actually manaually search for
drivers and that should work cuz it worked for me im using Windows 8

unfortunately that is one of the exact ways I tried to do it, thanks for the input tho. Just incase I over looked something searching for the driver manually, what sub category should my phone be under in device manager? thx

For those having trouble getting the drivers installed in Win7(x64/x86).
A workaround could be to use WUBI (Ubuntu's windows based installer that adds an option to boot to Ubuntu, while allowing it [Ubuntu] to be uninstalled from windows like a "normal" program).
Install WUBI, boot to Ubuntu, problem solved!
If the point of installing the drivers it to get Odin working...
The WUBI workaround would still work, you would just replace Odin with Heimdall (which is 100x better/more stable than Odin anyway).
I realise this is a lot to do for resolving a driver install problem, but... Heimdall pwns Odin anyway.

and if your in download mode when you hook your phone up
it will show up under modem it wil not show until you connect your phone

Ok I had to do the following inorder for it to work on my windows 7 x64 bit
I download the samsung epic 4g driver samsung_mobile_driver_v1.3.800.0.msi
I then used 7zip to extract the file
I then used the msi file and installed it
I then used 7 zip and extracted the samsung_mobile_driver_v1.3.800.0.msi file to a directory
I then DISABLE ALL INTERNET ACCESS ON THE LAPTOP BY TURNING OFF WIFI AND OR PULLING THE LAN CABLE OUT THE PC.
I then plug the phone into the pc usb slot
let the pc find the drivers
if it does not find them point to the extracted directory you did above and it will be good.
now do ##8778# and place the bottom into pda and if it cant find drivers point it to the extracted directory.
now turn phone off and go into download mode 1 key and power button and let windows find the drivers

Oh... my... god. I spent hours today trying to figure out how to get this phone I picked up to show me its sd card as a drive. Everyone on the internet seemed to be saying it was the lack of the right drivers, though they all disagreed on what the right drivers were. I tried so many different drivers, no luck.
That above, that I quoted: all it took. Why would it possibly be misconfigured out of the box in such a weird, impossible-to-locate way? Jeez.

[GUIDE] Install Windows 8 to a Tablet/Slate from USB

A lot of people have asked me in the past, how can I use my Samsung Series 7 Slate to run the latest Windows 8 (originally Dev Preview when I first released this) and actually I have been seeing it more often that people can't figure out how to get it on their Slate...
With that being said, I recommend you visit my updated post on my Blog that reflects Windows 8 RC here install & my blog contains other Windows 8 (and WP7) related content if you're bored. Otherwise to save you time, below is the steps/full blog post and a video created (This is my video from my YouTube Channel "TechMeShow", I permit the video being here) regarding making the USB Stick, which is old news but still people continue to ask and really get hundreds of views due to Google Searches.
ISO US-ENGLISH DOWNLOADS
Download 64-Bit US-EN Windows 8 Release Preview Here (ISO)
OR
Download 32-Bit US-EN Windows 8 Release Preview Here (ISO)
HOWTO Install Windows 8 Release Preview on MOST Tablet/Slate's
1). Download the edition of Windows 8 you want.
Tip: Download ISO from above.
2). Grab the Microsoft USB Disc Creator ('Should' use a USB Stick + Available USB Slot)
Tip Link: Microsoft USB Disc Creator Download Page. Video below.
3). After you use the Disc Creator, pop in the USB Stick to your computer and DO NOT RUN INSTALL ON WINDOWS 7 (We want it on a Tablet/Slate, remember?).
4). Now, reboot the tablet/slate, hit the Home Screen button only 1 time (give it a moment, don't rush, it'll happen) and select the USB Stick
Tip: To navigate up and down, select the left (or varies on device) Up/Down Volume Control and once selected, press the "Screen Lock".
5). Product Key: TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF
6). Follow the steps for installation and your set!

If you already knew all of this, terrific. However, again and not to brag, when I get at least 200 daily visits because people can't figure out how to install Windows 8 <edition here> on a Tablet/Slate (yes pretty easy), I thought why not post it here because obviously not enough people are getting it.

To be 100% honest, I am not sure about the setup part but for the USB Disc, should be the same and just make sure you boot from USB.

Just seems to be a strange hang that (after checking various forums) seems to happen mainly on Asus laptops,
apparently concerning the NVIDIA graphics driver which needs to be updated. For the moment they've only got
a W8 driver for the Release Preview build which doesn't seem to solve the issue.

Very weird, have you tried to load the driver during setup?

Actually, a good chance windows can just use some generic drivers. Once in Windows, I am sure a windows update could find something, windows 8 is badass at finding stuff.

Guys, the Windows 8 architecture for the images (and RTM that is out now) is for x86 processors only at this time. The Android devices are ARM based. Won't work.
Windows RT is going to support the ARM architecture, but will be a while (maybe never) before the ability to load it on Android hardware will happen.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but, you do realise you can change the title of the thread your self right? go to edit > advanced
Sent from my Samsung N130 Netbook powered by Android-x86

If Arm is currently what the devices are using, you'll need to obtain the current MSDN/RTM edition... Otherwise, if you have USB/MicroSD capabilities, you can install Windows to it and normally windows will find generic drivers but if you can get a windows display, that in itself is good news.

figured I'd bump this thread as I have a slate 7 and I'm trying to get the thing to recognize my usb disk drive. Currently I'm having no luck.
I've tried plugging the usb drive directly into the slate as well as into a powered usb hub and nothing seems to make the device see the usb drive.
The hub is good because the usb keyboard I'm using allows me to navigate the bios with the keys and what not but when I go to the boot menu, where it says usb cd drive it just says ":None" and only lists the internal hdd.
this has worked just fine with several other types of tablets but this samsung is the first to simply not recognize the drive at all. Bios settings are all factory default BTW.
Any ideas?

First I recommend you remove the stick from any device and only plugged straight in the stick.
Also, did you create the USB Stick with the Microsoft USB Stick Creator? If not, try it and also let me know what you used previously.

Windows 8.1 Fastboot

I'm on a fresh install of Windows 8.1
Here's what I did.
1. Installed HTC Sync Manager
2. Installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot
3. ADB works fine, boot into bootloader.
4. Windows shows Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration) in Device Manager
Running fastboot devices returns nothing
I can connect my phone to view files, I can ADB on my phone, the only thing I cannot do is fastboot. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

From all of my research, you're the first person I've heard of having it working. Any specific drivers used? I'm very curious (currently, I have to use a backup machine to push TWRP updates to my VZW One)

Same thing here. 8.1 broke fastboot. Is this a Microsoft problem specifically because if it is I seriously doubt they will be in a hurry to patch it.

I have found out something based on the VMware experience. Can somebody try it out and report back???
I feel that the fastboot problem in windows 8.1 is related to the USB port.
For those people that having problem, are you guys using USB 2.0??? If yes do you have USB 3.0 port in your computer??? The real problem maybe is that fastboot only works with USB 3.0 but not USB 2.0 in windows 8.1...

I tried both USB types, and half a dozen drivers and workarounds, and nothing.
I don't believe the dude above got it working. He is probably thinking Win 8, not 8.1. I have it working on 8.

Flash Image GUI will probably do everything you need to do in fastboot without the need for a computer. I just threw 8.1 on one of my extra PC's, I'll see if I can get the drivers going. I feel like this was answered in another thread though, I think it is in the rumrunner thread...

Just another reason why 8 is bad

i just used http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/ and fastboot works on a 3.0 port on 8.1

I've just had this problem last week, and now got a solution...
Hi guys,
For anyone interested, due to something DreamerTKM said - I tried both USB 2 & USB 3 sockets on my Dell L701X laptop and both failed:
ERROR: Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration)
I did a clean install of Win 8.1 Pro and it still failed...
Anyway, I was using Windows 8.1 Pro default drivers for my system when this issue came up last week - default as in Microsoft's own out of the box drivers (drivers on the install DVD and Windows Updates) for my CPU chipset, USB chipset, etc... - my entire system (except for my nVidia graphic card!)
My laptop is now a few years old and my official "Dell" CPU chipset drivers are not compatible with Win 8.1, so I need to rely on Microsoft for these, but my USB 3 originally had Dell supplied "Renesas USB 3" drivers which I hadn't installed or even thought about installing as my USB 3 socket worked - and worked well...
...anyway, after installing the original Renesas USB 3 drivers the fastboot commands work once plugged into a USB 3 socket! USB 2 still wouldn't work though, but now my Win 8.1 laptop can do fastboot commands through a USB 3 socket.
I understand not everyone will have a Dell L701X laptop but the moral here is before blaming Microsoft and their Windows 8.1 O/S (which is truly awesome), try installing the correct drivers first!
DreamerTKM - thank you for putting me on the correct path with this!
Hopefully this post may help some of you!

guyz if u r working on win8.1 just plug it in ur usb 3.0 then it will wrk...if u put in usb 2.0 it wont!

I have been using fastboot and adb with no problems on Windows 8.1 since January. But the issue is much more than simply using a different USB port. Here is the tutorial I used. http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/ Certain security features of 8.1 need to be bypassed to install the modified drivers.

Windows 10: Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to get my Nexus 7 2013 to work with Windows 10.
However, when I plug it in I get an error saying that the device is not recognized. It doesn't even show up properly at Device Manager.
I can not update or change the driver. It's driving me kind of insane. There's no OS on my tablet so I need a direct USB connection to send files.
Has anyone worked out a fix for this issue?

Did you download the google device drivers for Nexus devices? Just do a search for Nexus Device Drivers in your search engine.
Is your bootloader unlocked and do you have a custom rom installed? This will allow you to accomplish both tasks with a single click. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

I know this is obvious but I thought I should mention it, did u uninstall the ADB drivers and re-install the google nexus drivers?
Good luck again.

Yes, I did. I also downloaded them from Skipsofts Toolkit. For some reason Windows does not want to use them.

Wugs Toolkit did not work.
I'm going to try a Windows 7 USB flash drive. Hopefully it's more of a Windows 10 driver thing than USB 3.0.

Windows 7 didn't work. Going to try Ubuntu Live USB.
This is really getting on my nerves.
Is there an adapter I can get that will change USB3 to USB2?

Tried the whole Linux thing. Didn't work. My Zenfone however works like a charm.
I give up.
Rest in Peace Nexus 7 2013

Hold on, "only the white light at the bottom turns on" - is it still the case?
If no, please post VID/PID descriptor from Device Manager in Windows or 'lsusb' in Linux.
If yes, no point of struggling with USB as it will be either:
VID_05C6&PID_9008
VID_0000&PID_0000
and there is nothing you can do with it anyway.
The white light at the bottom, in this context, usually indicates a faulty battery and no recharge can fix it. I remember that you posted a few times about decreased SOT, which eventually leads to completely dead battery. You can confirm it if you disconnect the charger, take the N7's back off and measure voltage between the battery plug's pin #1 and #6. If it is below 1V, then there is no doubt the battery is faulty. Some try to 'kick start' it but it is a waste of time, just replace it.

My battery is fine. It's new and holds a charge.
The problem is neither Windows or Linux want to recognize it to push files to it.
At least I can watch the pretty Google boot sequence.

Is it possible I damaged something when replacing the battery?

No.
While reading about this problem on three threads already I noticed that you only try to connect to TWRP on ADB/MTP, which may be damaged for some reason. Let's try a completely different USB connection protocol:
boot the Nexus in fastboot mode (when off press power+vol.dn)
connect it to your PC
on PC run: fastboot getvar all
You can run the fastboot app from Windows or Linux...
on Windows install NRT and run it from "C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data" folder
or run it without installation from live Linux
If you are successful in getting normal output from "fastboot getvar all", proceed to OS reflash.
If not, post USB VID/PID while in fastboot connection.

Thanks, I'll try this. However, Windows can not detect the Nexus 7 even when in the Bootloader.

No worries, but I still need the USB descriptor of a failed connection in fastboot/bootloader mode...
on Windows, run UsbTreeView and post 'File - Save full report'
on Linux post the output of 'lsusb'
Well, perhaps something isn't right after the battery replacement after all
The wide silver ribbon cable which goes across the battery, connects USB data lines from the daughterboard to motherboard and it might be partially disconnected. Please try to re-seat and re-lock it on both ends.
:highfive:

I think I may have accidentally damaged the silver ribbon when installing the battery. Some of the ends are messed up.
As for the VID and PID I took a screenshot. I can still run USB tree.

No need, I see VID_0000 which indicates a hardware issue. If the cable can not be fixed, here is another one, but please check this video before replacement.
Cheers
:good:

When taking out the cable the first time I think I damaged some of the connectors.
Should be an easy fix.

Good news: The cable is installed, the PC can detect the Nexus 7, the Stock seems to have installed successfully.
BAD NEWS: THE TOUCHSCREEN IS NOT WORKING
What is going on? I hope this is a software issue?

Good and bad news
Run TWRP3 and check if touchscreen works there.
If not, I think we're not done with the cable yet as it also connects touch to the motherboard.

I've watched some YouTube. I've deciphered that the wide cable is data and the narrow one touchscreen.
I've tried unplugging and plugging both. No luck there. I notice the tablet heats up sometimes too.
When installing I noticed a small plume of smoke. I hope nothing happened.
When it boots into the OS there is a crossed out square on the upper right hand corner now.
Any suggestions?

I put in the cable I kind of damaged back into the Nexus 7. Now it gets detected and the touchscreen works. I have no clue what happened here but it seems fixed.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. Much appreciation and love to the XDA community!
