[Q] Evo Won't charge, see sdcard or be seen by pc

Originally posted in general. Sorry.
My Evo won't charge unless it is turned off. When the phone is on, the usb won't give me any mode option. Phone doesn't see the sdcard. I've tried three different cards. PC won't see the phone. I have usb debugging checked. Device manager gives me three qualcomm CDMA Technologies and can't find drivers. Downloaded qualcomm drivers. Device manager now shows them as samsung items. Everything on the phone works except for apps using the sdcard. With the vol down and power the phone will read the PC36IMG.zip of the sdcard and load and run it. After rebooting it still doesn't recognize the sdcard. Using fastboot the device manager gives me Android Devices, but I can't use adb commands. I get and error device not found. Any help?

it should charge anyway, even without the drivers...but, sounds like you need 'em to me. they're in the forums...somewhere...or, you could just get the most recent sdk, and update the drivers using devmgmt.msc (i'm assuming you're on windows)

this happen to me yesterday, i was able to fix it... i have to find the steps

The phone only charges when the phone is off. I've downloaded the latest sdk drivers. I tried the SD Card Fix, but I can't get to an ADB shell.

The phone worked great for a couple of weeks, but when I was using Rom Manager to load a rom, I got an error and a red triangle. I pulled the battery and started the phone. It couldn't load the sdcard, it wouldn't give me usb options. It did give me a short battery life and no way to use ADB commands. I can't use rom manager or titanium backup or nand to restore backups. I really need help please!

if you can't get to a shell, that probably means that an adb devices command is not seeing the device.
i'll refer you to the earlier statement about you not having the drivers.

I checked and I have downloaded android-sdk_r06-windows.zip. I believe these are the latest drivers. They worked fine until it crashed while I was using rom manager to load a different rom. It seems strange that everything works except for charging while on, usb and the sdcard.

just having the sdk doesn't enable drivers. if you are on windows, in the 'search' field (or in a cmd shell) type
devmgmt.msc
there, you will probably see a device , i think it will have a yellow triangle and an exclamation point. right click on that device, choose the option that allows you to install drivers. then, browse for drivers (make sure you have the option to include subfolders checkmarked). the drivers are located in the 'usb drivers' folder in the sdk folder. once you have the 'usb drivers' folder highlighted, just choose 'okay', and it will search that folder and subfolders for the appropriate driver.

I've done that. When I use devmgmt.msc and I connect my phone it gives me three unknowns called Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I point these to the drivers folder and it doesn't recognize them. I downloaded qualcomm drivers and it recognized them as samsung devices and these don't work. When I hook up usb while in fastboot devmgmt.msc gets one device called android devices, but it still will not recognize the sdk drivers. Something happened when the phone crashed. Is there a way to do anything with hboot or fast boot or the other items in that menu to get the phone to recognize adb commands. The phone does load and install PC36IMG.zip, but the phone still acts the same, no sdcard, no usb and no charge.

you have to get a terminal emulator. and, you have to have downloaded those files to your sdcard. you also have to be rooted already.

OK, I have the two files extracted and on the sdcard. I called up the terminal emulator and typed
su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
at this point I get an error message /sdcard/flash_image: No such file or directory
at one time my phone was rooted, but I no longer have the Superuser Permissions.
help some more?

Ok thanks, I finally got it all working. After a week of learning about ADB, Terminal and Fastboot commands not to mention the structure of the Evo file system, charging, usb and sdcard are all working thanks to everyone contributing to the forum.

could you provide a step by step to how you got this issue resolved?
my brother's phone is experiencing the exact same symptoms you described.
we have been at it for a week.
we too cannot get the "adb shell" command to work when trying to use SDK.
we get the error "device not found" after typing "adb shell".
Im not sure its being done correctly either.
please assist, your help is greatly appreciated.

Read through the whole thread and download the files. Install them on the root directory of your sdcard with a card reader/writer. Put the sdcard back in your phone.
Now to use the thread you have to get into recovery.
Hold vol down and press power on your phone.
Plug in the usb, and open device manager on your PC.
Choose recovery and make sure Android USB Devices show up in device manger
On the PC, get to a DOS prompt and change dir to where you have adb and fastboot and follow the thread for SD Card Fix and USB Fix exactly.
Good Luck!
And thank you to Calkulin for the thread!

Yeah I had found that thread as well, I get all the way up to the adb commands.
when I type adb shell, I get "device not found".
also, just to verify, I boot the phone down and turn it on using "down volume" and "power".
when the "HBOOT" screen shows up and the scan finds nothing, I select "fastboot", and leave it there.
then back to the pc:
before I type "adb shell', I point to the directory "c:/users/desktop/android-sdk-windows/tools".
once the directory is pointed to "c:/users/desktop/android-sdk-windows/tools", I input "adb shell" command.
Is this correct?
That is the procedure I follow and I keep getting "device not found", and yes my sdk is fully updated.

Yes, but don't do ADB shell. In HBOOT hit the vol down button to highlight recovery. Hit the power button to select recovery and let it sit there. Go to your pc check your device manager. Then change dir to where you have ADB. Fastboot is also there
Fastboot is an executable program same as ADB. At the prompt just type the commands for the sdcard fix. ie:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
Your sdcard should be recognized. For the next section you will need to get the Android Terminal Emulator from the Android Market and enter the commands in it.
Have fun!

That was it!! once we got the files on the SD card through my phone, and put it back in his phone, we did the commands and it worked!! good stuff, mad appreciation given here.

Congratulations. You got your EVO back better than ever!

Accessing the internal storage from recovery? No ROM installed or backup available.

I downloaded a ROM for the wrong nexus phone (there's so damn many I forgot to check carefully) and I've already wiped system and moved my nandroid backups to my computer because I wanted to wipe the SD card.
Is there any way to get into the phone's internal storage from recovery and load a new ROM manually?
With my older phones I would just pull the micro SD card and put the ROM on it from my PC, this doesn't seem to be possible with the nexus.
EDIT: I also have the Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.3. I think I can load a ROM using this right?
Thanks!

Okay got into the phone when I used recovery instead of boodloader to talk to it with ADB. I'm pushing the ROM but CWM doesn't see the ZIP after it has been pushed when I choose 'install ZIP from sdcard'
Final edit: Couldn't find the ROM when I pushed it using ADB. I think I was using the command wrong because the file never showed on the SDCARD after pushing it. So what I did was push it as 'update.zip' and then used CWM's 'load update.zip' from SDCARD function and got Cyanogenmod installed and everything is gravy again.

this didn't work for me. adb devices shows serial number recovery (that's the only thing I can boot my phone to)
when I adb push update /scard it eventually says it successfully did so with xxxxx amounts of data.
When I apply update.zip card from CWM menu it tells me can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
I also renamed latest cm.zip and pushed it to /sdcard/0/Download - even when it says OK I can't find that file in that directory.
Am I royally screwed?

You van also flash a ROM via recovery from your PC with adb sideload. Its awesome.

[Q] Wiped system by accident no OS installed (Soft Brick)

I wiped my system (wiped internal with my ROM and nano) by accident. I can access TWRP and download mode fine. Don't have a micro external sd, only internal sd.
PC doesn't recognize when I plug in phone as USB, but as CD drive. I have installed the samsung drivers. I'm on windows.
I have downloaded sdk tools, moved rom into /sdk/tools directory and tried to do an adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
***EDIT: adb is found in the newest sdk tools in the directory platform-tools instead of tools!***
How do I either push a ROM onto my internal storage or restore my phone to working condition?
The problem is that Windows 7 is not recognizing my device. "error: device not found"
Any help will be much appreciated! Thank you in advance.

you need to add adb as a enviroment varible in windows to make it direct to the android sdk path ( i think its been years since windows was my main dd os ) so i dont know hwo to do that but if you search you can find it

I didn't want to go thru. download mode either, seemed unnecessary. I tried doing an adb push thru sdk tools, didn't work. TWRP, new version, has the sidload option as well and that failed too--cool option tho for anyone interested: http://teamw.in/ADBSideload
I finally just got a microSD, transferred my ROM on it and all is back to normal.

[q] SOLVED: ADB ROM PUSH ERROR: DEVICE NOT FOUND

EDIT:
I was trying to reflash JB 4.3 because of storage issues but unfortunately I accidentally deleted and formatted internal and sd storage, so Im left with no OS on my Gnex but I can boot on recovery and fastboot. Also before I deleted the internal I did not enable usb debugging yet at that time. Is there a way I can flash a stock image by just using toolkit? ty
I tried pushing through fastboot mode but it says error: device not found. I only have the platform tools on my pc.
UPDATE:
Finally got the file pushed into the sd card doing via recovery. Since I am using TWRP recevery it was not too obvious how to do it unlike CWRM which I used to use. I spent more than 24 hours looking for the right solution that would work for me and funny thing was I finally got the right way to one of the first threads i looked into but just didnt pay much attention to it which was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
"Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen
- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable
- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)
- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd
- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.
- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly.

Go into your device manager if you have windows, and see if you have any errors.
If you do, you might have an exclamation mark for the device: Galaxy. You can manually install the drivers from here, point it to your toolkit, I guess, since you downloaded it already.

If he reads efrant's "android 101" -which is STICKIED ON GENERAL forum- just the first post, he'll know everything and downloaded everything he needs to know and have to interact with his device.

I have read that already however I was hoping to just flash a file to the sdcard if is even possible considering I have formatted both internal and sdcard. I am very new to adb so its an easier way for me. But it seems then I will ave to do it the hard way. Thanks
PS
Not sure if this has any bearing but when I accidentally formated internal and sdcard it was a fresh 4.3 install and so android debugging was not enabled. Thanks

Doesn't matter because if you reboot in bootloader you can use fastboot(if drivers are installed properly), fastboot always works, you don't need to enable anything for it.

no, there's no ADB interface on FASTBOOT interface. You'll never be able to push anything through ADB in FASTBOOT interface. Please read the thread i talked about earlier, and this one too -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 - Just the first post of each will do.

- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.
- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly. (I did not include that message in the picture below)"

I'm glad you sorted it out, that's the thing instead of teaching you step by step just left a hint on what you should do, helps you learn to do it on your own..
Peace,

Thanks
Thanks for this. Was stuck with no factory image because had to wipe data because of encryption. Then was in dilemma of how to load the ZIP to sdcard without having to reflash the stock all over. This saved me the time. Thanks again

Need help with restoring my Note 2

I was doing a factory reset on my Rogers Note 2, and I accidentally wiped the internal storage. So my phone now just stays at the Samsung logo, I have TWRP 2.6.3 I believe, and it says I have no OS installed. So im trying to copy a Rom (zip format) to my phone to install. I figured this would solve my problem, but my computer won't read my phone, it install as an adb device, but doesn't show up in my computer. So I installed the Samsung Galaxy Toolkit, latest version, went through the setup and installed the drivers. When I try to push files to my phone, it says it is waiting for USB debugging to be enabled. I have no idea how to use this, as I've only seen this option in the Android itself. Could anyone help me out on how to copy over a file to my phone so I can reinstall it and get my phone working again, it would be greatly appreciated

Do you have an external sdcard in the phone? If so can you take it out and put into an sdcard reader and plug it int your PC. Then it will show up as a Drive.
If not.....
Do you have just adb.exe by itself ? No?
Download here ... http://androidarea51.com/downloads/adb.zip
Unzip to a directory where you can find it/ Like c:\adb
Reboot your phone into TWRP recovery. Put in down, do not touch it.
Go to a command prompt, cd c:\adb (or wherever you unzipped adb.zip)
type adb push whatevertheromnameis.zip /sdcard/romname.zip
Pick up phone, click install and choose file to install from sdcard
Should work fine.

Hey thanks for the reply, I had nothing to put the sd card into, and pushing the zip didnt work. I ended up installing the zip from adb with the samsung galaxy toolkit and that worked. Thanks for your help, I have another question, could you point me in the right direction on how to upgrade my note 2 to 4.3?
