SDK not connecting to DINC

Hello all ... I'm new to rooting and I'm having a problem with SDK recognising my phone ... I have been trying to use the steps in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220 (How 2 - ADB, Rooting(reflash), Unrooting, Nandroid, Remove/Install App, roms, kernels) ... And I can not find the "android_winusb.inf" in the tools folder or the platform-tools folder ... I'm using sdk r10 and Windows Vista 64 ... Any help would be appreciated, Thank you ...

I modded the "android_winusb.inf" file in the sdk drivers zip and moved it to the platform tools folder ... I keep getting "The system cannot the path specified" in the cmd prompt when I type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools === ...
EDIT: I also installed the My Touch 4g USB drivers and I no longer get the "Drivers not found" popup ...

Nevermind ... I searched the forums and got it rooted and installed Redemption ROM 2.4 with "Heart of the Sunrise" kernel ... Now I just need to get Clockworkmod working right ...

The only thing I can offer is to make sure you are in c:\sdk\platform-tools (or similar directory depending on install location) then do adb devices. My biggest problem was not being in that directory even though I had adb in the path (most likely incorrectly)

Cant root defy

hi everyone, i messed up my phone, so i had to wipe and reflash the U.S. 2.2 leak 3.4.2 something, and when i try to root it with superoneclick, it just says waiting for device, usb debugging is on, usb connecion is set to portal. any tips?

I rooted mine today. On xda search defy root tutorial. It worked great for me.

Try to use this one here. It is the same one used to root the 3.6.360 update. Takes a few minutes to work so be patient. Might be more than a few cycles through it too. But it worked for me with the 3.6.360 update and for Froyo too.

Get the superoneclick files, but do it without superonclick.
Follow these steps, but change names accordingly.

z4root don't work on firmware 2.51.0 or later. It won't hurt trying though.

it's called windows
(but you can also search but the ADB method and see if it works)

Simple root!
Easiest way to root is to download an app called Z4root.
Its a one click root and best of all with another click you can "unroot" the device. Not compatible with all devices so it would pay to check the apps website but it works with motorola defy

On the computer must be installed NET.Framework, JDK, Android SDK, thus on the phone in USB Connection select Motorola Phone Portal, enable USB Debugging(settings/ application/ development) in settings. Old version do not work on froyo. After root it must be rebooting a phone. If you can not root, reboot your phone and computer and try again. If the proccess stop on "waiting for device", then until plug in the phone unselect USB Debugging, when you see "waiting for device", Select USB Debugging.

Last version of Superoneclick - is the best solution for rooting our Device, with any FW version. Try to use both exploits (sounds something like: "psneuter" and "reageistcach") - you can chose one of it in the up-right corner of Superoneclick window

Try to reboot your phone,keep it on the debug mode and then root it(SuperOneClick2.1 is recommended!).By the way, have you installed the drivers correctly?

update your SuperOneClick to 1.7

1.8 doesnt work for me

Problems rooting Incredible

I rooted my phone with no issues, but I can't get my brother's to take.
I have debugging enabled, I have it in charge only, htc sync is not installed on the computer, and I am running Windows 7. I installed the hboot drivers, run unrevoked3, it does its thing, but then it says "failed to flash recovery image". Then the phone reboots and works like normal. It does not get S-Off and there is no recovery. What's going on? His is an SLCD.

It did that once when I rooted a friends inc. Just retried it and it worked fine.

I have never been able to use Windows 7 to use Unrevoked to get root. I have always had to use an Ubuntu live cd to get it to take.

I tried 3 times with the same result every time. I know windows 7 used to be a problem, but I figured they fixed that issue. Is there anything else that would be causing this?

With Windows it's all about the drivers that are installed, and making the proper satanic sacrifices.
Give the Ubuntu live CD a try, since it wont have to worry about windows drivers, couple other people I work with had to go that route because Windows was being a pain.

You don't have to install anything. You can run the OS from the CD itself.

Try hard reset & then unrevoked. I had the same issues until I did this.

The problem is he doesn't want to lose all his apps/game data. He about lost it when his SD card was unreadable - though I was able to fix it.
I appreciate all the suggestions. If it comes down to it, I will just do the hard reset.
With the ubuntu CD, I can just run the OS from the CD, download Unrevoked from within ubuntu, then run it?

I read that suggested on androidforums as well... The instructions say to keep it on charge only, so that's why I didn't try 'disk drive'. Seems logical to try that though...

I can't even get my USB to allow me in now, even with USB Debugging ON??

The first time I rooted I had a similar problem. Even after flashing super-user Titanium would tell me I wasn't rooted.
In the end downloading a different super user version fixed the problem.
Not sure what to suggest for your usb problem though... Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Try getting to dload mode. Flash stock. Retry root maybe

To fix your problem with not getting into your phone you'll follow these directions
http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-ga...-to-ics-stock-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
Then after you do this you will have to put ics back on your phone or just flash a rom that is 4.0.3
This is what you should download download the file and use this superuser I had a problem rooting to.

The root was finally completed in recovery but after rebooting and going into ES Explorer like normal in Settings to set (Root) user, it says not accessable also using the Superuser app from Google Play it says (root failed) but in recovery it said (root achieved and enjoy) so yeah makes no sense also should I just flash the theme I want in and see if that works out (Juggernaut 5.0)?

Can't transfer data via USB on CM9 or CM10 on Mac OSX

So I've tried flashing both CM9 and CM10 roms but no matter what I do I can't get it to recognize my sdcard or my internal storage on my Mac. I've even tried formatting the card to fat32 and still nothing. Any ideas what I should do to get this to work? How is it working for you guys? I would post this in the CM threads but I rather not clutter it with questions. Thanks in advance

What do you mean it won't recognize your sdcard? The recovery won't read it? If so, which recovery do you have?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

When connected, you should get a notification telling you that your phone is connected via USB.
Select it, and make sure that it's connected as PTP.
MTP does not work on Macs.

Well its readable cause I can still download stuff to it from the web but it just will not mount on my Mac. It'll give me an option on my phone from the notification but android file transfer won't recognize it

Sounds like you should just invest in an external SD card reader. Or look into wireless file transfer even though I don't trust that when it comes to transferring roms... I don't use macs so I'm little help lol.

Thats exactly what I use when Im on FREE GS3 rom, but whenever I switch to a CM9 or CM10 rom it just doesnt mount. Im starting to think maybe its the kernel CM based roms are using

PTP currently does not work on Cm9/10 roms, which is why your having problems it is the main reason keeping me away from using either one as a daily driver for now

Any updates on this? I'm using the latest CM10 nightly - it would sure be nice to be able to connect to my Mac.

Being a Mac user I know the issue you are talking about. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition. In finder open Applications-Utilities-Boot Camp. There will be a printable tutorial. The Boot Camp application literally walks you through the process. I have found this method far better than running a V.M.

still no fix?

Hi
Hi,
Im using the latest S3 CM
ANd this seems to work for me
1. Install Kies.
2. In kies go to tools and use the option to reinstall drivers.
3. Install Android File transfer
4. Reboot mac
5. Connect your GS3 and run Android File transfer
Works for me.
Cheers
