Hello,
Hopping that someone has a quick answer. I have CWM installed on my ATT S3, and when I went to run the bloatware remover tool, my computer was unable to locate a USB driver when the phone was in recovery mode.
I have tried manually updating the driver, but to no avail.
I have also searched, and was unable to pull up anything, can any one point me in a good direction?
Thanks!

I'm new and I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong place or re-posting an old question, but I have been searching on this and other sites for days and haven't been able to find anything pertaining to my question, so sorry in advance If I'm not posting this correctly.
I have a rooted epic touch with rogue boot loader installed and UnNamed rom installed. I really liked the way it was running until I had some kind of malfunction happened and now the battery charge light won't shut off and the battery drains within a couple hours of standby time. the phone is only a couple months old and would like to take it to the sprint store as I'm assuming this is an obvious hardware issue. My problem is that my pc doesn't recognize my phone anymore so I can't flash back to stock and get rid of root, voiding my warranty. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies and stand alone drivers multiple times with no avail. I've tried with the battery and sd card removed and have also tried on multiple pc's (2 win7 and and xp machine). every time it says the drivers weren't installed successfully and to replace the device being connected.
My question: Is there a way to revert to stock off of the internal memory of the phone? I know there are zip roms you can flash from the boot loader but I was wondering if there was a way to flash a rom from zip and install the original boot loader as well as get rid of root? Any help I can get would be extremely appreciated and again I apologize if I am wasting anyone's time by asking in the wrong place or re-asking a question.
Ok so I downloaded the Calkin's_Stock_Rooted_EK02_ROM_v1.0 and got it on my sd card via dropbox. Flashed and now have a stock rom on it which I think is a step in the right direction.
The only thing is now I have clockwork boot loader and still rooted. and still not recognizing on pc. anyone know of an unrooted zip with original boot loader?
I couldn't get my PC to recognize either of my 2 E4GT's, each due to a different reason, both issues were resolved by going through each step in sfhub's debugging checklist:

This post is for the FAQ section:
Why is the install stuck waiting for device to be connected?
Your phone isn't being recognized by your PC as an Android device.
When the drivers are installed and the phone is properly recognized, you should see the following in start->run->devmgmt.msc
Code:
Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface
Modem
SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem
Until you get the SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface to show up, neither ADB nor this script will work.
Here is a debugging checklist:
1) dial ##UPST# (##8778#) in the dialer and verify AP (or ALL) is checked (if CP is checked, phone won't be recognized as an Android device)
2) restart the ADB server (choose Option G to stop the server, it'll get started automatically by the script)
3) verify USB Debugging is ENABLED
4) verify USB drivers are installed (Win7-64bit see below)
5) try a different usb cable
If you are in Win7-64bit try changing the default install location for the drivers:
If you see an error like this:
Try running the CMD prompt (or e4gtauto-sfx.exe) as Administrator. Right-click on the CMD icon (or e4gtauto-sfx.exe) and select "Run As", then select Administrator.
If that doesn't work, try disabling windows firewall.

I went down that list and everything seemed to be in order but still no recognition by pc. I kept uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and switching usb ports and it finally installed the drivers successfully long enough for odin to recognize it and to flash back to stock. As soon as it was done the machine stopped recognizing it again. Lucky break I guess. So I can now return it to sprint and deal with the hardware issue.
I would still like to find a zip file like the tar that I flashed that installs stock recovery and non rooted ek02 rom and kernel from cwm, if that's even possible.
Thanks Godswrath, for helping me out.
You could use wifi explorer to get files on to sd card and mobile Odin to flash the tar file back to stock....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Lol....I am a noob.
They make a mobile Odin? That would have saved my like 4 hours....
Hi,
I'm having some issues where the MTP driver fails to load. Tried all the obvious stuff and did a lot of reading of forums and stuff but can't find a fix. Could anyone help me to fix it please?
Here's what hardware I have and what I've tried so far:
Tab Pro 8.4 16gb wifi UK model, rooted.
Connected via cable to Dell XPS 17, latest USB drivers installed, win 7 x64.
First of all, I enabled USB debugging and windows installed drivers for all except MTP.
Tried installing the Samsung driver package, same problem. Uninstalled at present.
Installed kies, didn't work, wouldn't even connect to the device. Uninstalled.
Followed the instructions on the wiki but the suite software installs the driver succesfully but then windows won't accept the driver. Tried the workarounds in the wiki but still no luck.
Tried rebooting the tablet and leaving the cable connected.
Tried wiping the cache.
Tried restarting both the tablet and laptop after reinstalling software and drivers, still no luck.
Found several workarounds on my travels, one was a command line for windows to add to usergroup ( it's on the laptop downstairs, will add it to the post tomorrow).
One post said to change a registry entry...really? Tried that, and another registry trick, but still no.
Using the same laptop, I had similar problems trying to flash a custom rom onto an s4, but the CM installer worked first time. I've done a fresh install of win 7 since then.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please? Is there any kind of workaround? Running out of ideas!
Thanks
Fixed this, well, kind of. Here's a quick rundown of what I did, for people like me who are struggling with connection problems.
I thought I had tried everything, was going to dump the whole thing and then remembered that I'd fixed some previous USB problems (sound card) by doing a clean boot.
First, remove Kies.
The only other thing that is required are the samsung mobile drivers from their website. I tried with and without and this would only work with them installed.
Restart your tablet, make sure MTP is selected.
You can find out how to do a clean boot for you version of windows here.
Leave your device connected via USB cable. Once you have clean booted into windows, windows will attempt to install the drivers from windows update, let it do this. It can take a minute or two to complete. You should then see a green tick in the notification area rather than the dreaded red cross.
If, for some reason, the driver doesn't install first time, you can unplug and then plug back in the USB cable and this should do the trick.
What I did find, is that the connection wasn't consistent, I could restart either my laptop or tablet and then it wouldn't connect, so I'd have to go through the above process again to get it to connect.
Doing this allowed me to flash the Clockworkmod recovery with odin 3.09, but for whatever reason, I was still unable to use the recommended Eimdall suite to flash cyanogenmod.
In the end, I downloaded the CM11 zip file to my tablet (via http) and then used ES file manager to move it to the SDCard root and then clockworkmod picked it up from there.
Also, once CM was installed, there were no connection problems at all, as far as I can see.
Hopefully this will help others in the same predicament.
Hi Guys,
Bought a used but like new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 wi-fi (SM-T310) for my boy.
It's installed with latest stock firmware (T310XXUBNH3) and I need some guidance to root it.
I do not to mess around with the kid’s tablet, I just want to root it, so to be able to uninstall all system apps and do other simple stuff.
I have searched Google and what I found, is that root has to be through ODIN.
I have downloaded the files (ODIN and Root) and when I put the tablet in download mode Odin does not recognize it.
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro and I noticed that in Device Manager, it’s showing as unknown device. When I try to update the driver only gives me the option to install it as a samsung modem usb, but even after that, keeps showing as unknown.
I have Kies installed and the drivers, supposedly installed, since with the tablet connected, the computer recognizes it immediately.
My problem is then the Download Mode, I’m positive because its missing the correct drivers.
I have also tried to switch cables, very dumb I know, but I had to try.
So my questions are:
1. where can I find the correct drivers for Download Mode?
2. Is there any other and simple way of rooting this baby?
Thanks guys

Download THIS.
Extract and run the UniversalADBDrivers file. That will install ADB drivers. Ensure that you have enabled USB debugging under the Developer Options in settings on the tablet. If you don't see the Developer Options, tap the "build number" 10-12 times to enable it.
If it still doesn't work, you will need to ffnd a Windows 7 or XP computer.
fantastic!
thats worked like a gem.
thanks a lot m8
Hi folks,
I previously managed to get Cyanagenmod installed on my HTC One X but since made a mess of it trying to get a stock ROM on there (to unlock my SIM). I have since given up on getting a stock ROM back on there and am now trying to get Cyanogenmod back on there, but I have hit some problems.
I have CWM on there and my PC can see the phone in Fastboot, but not via ADB (which I am trying to use to 'push' the ROM on there so I can install it). My PC (Win 8.1) is giving me a "device descriptor request failed" when connecting to USB when on the boot menu, and is showing up just as "One" in device manager when I load CWM. However neither of these situations are allowing my computer or ADB to recognise the SD card.
I have tried 'mounting' it in CWM, updating drivers through device manager, installing Sync (and uninstalling/reinstalling it), installing HTCDriver_4.10.0.001.msi all to no avail.
Does anyone have any advice to get my PC to recognise my phone or otherwise get a customer ROM installed (if there is another way.)
Thanks in advance all.

Flash Philz 5.15.9 recovery use it to mount sd card then to copy the rom you need then flash recovery for your rom for CM12 is one for CM11 is other and for Sense is third. For sense rom you can use Philz 5.15.9. And for the new layout is fourt recovery
Thanks!
I couldn't find it so I downloaded a newer version, but it didn't work, so I looked for longer and found a version, but that wouldn't even boot. In the end I used openrecovery-twrp-2.1.7, which did let me mount the SD and install the ROM.
Then I got stuck on the loading screen, but I discovered I needed to just flash a boot.img (which wasn't in either of the guides I was following, for some reason?!) and now I'm all up and running.
Thank you kind sir!
Ok so i have a Samsung Tab s t705 lte and its right now in a bootloop. So I rooted it and flashed twrp. Then i flashed xposed framework. Flash successful but it entered a bootloop. I tried uninstaller but it still remained in the bootloop. Then i restored a nandroid backup but it still is in a bootloop. I tried clearing cache and dalvik Cache and wiped data too. Still a bootloop. Now im trying to flash stock samsung rom ( i got it at sammobile) through Odin 3.09. Ive got the appropriate drivers and everything installed. Only problem is i dont know how im supposed to enable USB debugging when im in a bootloop. If you have any solutions..please let me know.
PS- Its not deodexed nor is the bootloader unlocked. Also, im an adb noob so ill need help with the commands.
Thanks in advance!
You dont need to enable usb debugging or adb. Not sure what makes you think that?
Just install the Samsung USB drivers, put your device in download mode, put the stock firmware in the AP slot of ODIN and hit start.
Not able to install drivers

No the point is that I tried installing the drivers but it said installation failed, please connect device to computer to install successfully. And when i connected my device to the computer, since the drivers werent installed it couldnt recog it. and also, i dont really know much about drivers for samsung. i just downloaded smt i found off google called USB DRIVER FOR SAMSUNG auto installer. Im using a HP laptop, with a intel i5 process, windows 7, radeon graphics card. Thanks
Just download drivers from Samsung website all they do is enable your laptop to communicate with the tab......then download a older version of Oden and a rom that matches your device from update.com there you will also find a how to gide.
