okay so i flashed ubuntu and i want to return to android. didnt really like ubuntu. my problem is that i cant connect my phone to my computer (windows 7) via usb and put in an android rom. i cant connect my phone to my computer via usb through recovery when i select "mount usb".
there isnt seem to be any "settings" on ubuntu that allows me to select usb mount. D:> help will be appreciated
This thread makes me think we need a dedicated Ubuntu section, I have a feeling this is the first of many many Ubuntu questions. Anybody agree? Is that even possible?
OP can you not download it straight to the phone instead of using the computer? Is there not any file manager apps yet or something?

we need a ubunto section for sure
i dont see any file manager apps on ubuntu. it doesnt even have a market place.
i was assuming my phone will automatically connect to my computer so i can drag files into it. ubuntu didnt do that and the phone isnt listed under "my computer"
im just going to get the stock images from google's website and install it using the galaxy toolkit.

you dont need a toolkit. you need to make sure fastboot works on your computer and verify you have fastboot drivers installed.
the google img flash will work just fine, as long as your drivers are proper and you have fastboot

U should of read before flashing this. Ubuntu os is NOT!!! a daily driven rom. But just like any other rom you flash u should of backed up and paid attention to what u where doing. Sorry to hear what happens to u but it is what it is.

Hey all. This is for those of you having issues with ADB and Windows.
Source link
This is assuming you already have the SDK, it's installed, you're just having issues with the actual ADB driver.
Basically you download PDANet - it will take care of of the ADB drivers for you. Note - you WILL have to reboot the computer before the drivers actually work. Thanks to robinsondom for the linky, and thanks to theunlockr.com for that fantastic guide! It appears to cover basically any issues you may run into with ADB and Windows!
Hi arrrghhh,
I had a similar problem getting the drivers to work on my PC. I bookmarked a site that was very helpful, as I recall, in resolving this. Unfortunately, I still might have too few posts to upload a link. Let's see...
ok, that didn't work... maybe my next post...?
Hmm, you would think that 3+ years of responsible "lurking" (plus a few posts) might take me out of the "new user" category and allow me to post links -- but it seems I still need 5 posts no matter what. Maybe after this post (my 5th)...?
Trying one last time to post the link I mentioned...

Unfortunately lurking for 3 or 30 years doesn't really make a difference. All goes by post count, you need 5 to be able to post a link. You're now at 6, congrats
I'll try that out now... I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
Update - that did it! I'm definitely saving this article. It seems USBDeview should only be used if your PC isn't prompting you.
I was pretty skeptical, but for whatever reason the drivers that PDANet offered to the system it took, when the ones that worked previously (same PC, same phone....) didn't work. Go figure.
Thanks again dude!
I updated my first post with credit & the solution. Awesome!

Download and install Droid Explorer standalone version.
Hi,
I've installed SDK and then the PDANet Software and it solved my driver problems. And now with the Droid Explorer I should be able to access my device and the SD card, but the Explorer does not find my HTC Touch Pro. What shall I do now??

Hrm. Do you see the two USB-related icons in the notification bar in Android? It indicates two things, USB debugging (aka ADB) and USB mass storage (not working yet... probably not till we're full NAND.) So make sure it's enabled there... One other possibility is you're using a very old kernel that doesn't include USB support...?
ADB is a very advanced tool/topic... it's mainly for debugging. Not really noob-friendly - we're not at that stage yet.
Yes, I can see the two icons. I don't know what you mean with kernel?!
I just want to put some music on my device, without pulling out the card or using Windows Mobile Am I on the wrong way?

Uhm... probably easier to just pull the card. ADB is really meant to be used for debugging issues.
It's just the only way we can currently access the device in lieu of USB mass storage support.
Not sure what confused you about my kernel statement. Perhaps you need to update your kernel, that's all I'm saying... if you're running an older kernel, it might not have the correct support.
However, if you saw the icons in the notification bar, I would think USB support is working.

Also Macs are picky, as you could only use the snow leopard os previously, unless some updates have come out.

If your on Ubuntu or most of the Linux distros you can follow these steps so your computer can identify correctly your device. I know that its posted on the Epic 4G threads but I have modified the rules file so it can work with the EVO 4G correctly, its what I'm using right now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14199959&postcount=11
Now this assumes that you have the Android SDK installed already.
The rules file can be found here:

Then after verifying that you have good ADB connection you may have better luck rooting your phone, let me know if this helps.

Hello guys!
I am noob right now. I just bought an used rhodium100 and I am trying to install a new rom on it. It has a different language, one that I do not understand.
So I read and read, and I download HardSPL app, RUU, and I wanna get it going when I realize that my phone is not recognized by my computer, nor by a laptop of a friend (both using windows 7). So my question is:
Can it be something wrong software wise that does not allow to connect to the PC or is a hardware thing for sure?

Are you plugging it in while in bootloader mode, or while in WinMo? Bootloader mode = tri-color screen where you flash.
Honestly, I would flash via SD. Much easier, no need to worry about drivers or any of that nonsense.
Thanks dude for that quick response.
I tried in both ways. As I said, I tried not to be a complete total noob and I read and read.
I tried to flash it via SD card, but I guess the previous owner did not HardSPL it, so when I reboot it in bootloader, it just goes to the screen "Loading..." and it freezes. I've let it over night but it just drained the battery and no progress.
Any other idea?

You should be able to HSPL from the SD. You just can't revert HSPL from SD.
Also, you can tell at the tri-color screen if it's unlocked or not - if you see anything about OliNix, it's unlocked.
well,there was nothing about olinix. So it's not unlocked. Can you tell me how to HSPL it from the sd? Can I then install the ROM via sd card? I do not need to revert the spl.

It's on that thread. You basically flash HSPL with SD. I could be mistaken, and you can only relock with SD? I can't remember. If I recall correctly, you can only go one-way with flashing via SD....

You should be able to change the language, but I would sort out why you can't flash. That's pretty crippling and IMHO makes a useless device.

Sorry for my dumb joke
I do not have any clue how to fix your problem, it might be a software related, a cable issue or even the MB/connector could fail.
You could translate the rom using a cab file, but this isn't easy and requires a lot of resources and knowledge.

XDAndroid is completely different. Please don't mix issues here - Android questions go in Android section, preferably in the build thread you're using. That probably does rule out a hardware issue with the USB port on the phone tho.
I would ensure that you guys have the right setup for flashing. Make sure you try different USB ports, different cables, etc. Triage.

I understand that. I just said that the connectors are OK. Working. If android can connect so should original ROM load, or at least that's what I think it should.
I just hate that neither in active synch nor in bootloader mode can't connect it. Is there any program that facilitates the connection?

nothing shows up. Just like it was never or is never connected.

But I would like the windows mobile OS because I have some programs that only run on it.
Well... is there any way to fully delete the memory? the ROM memory? wipe it clean?
It may help I think... :-?
Please help me root this device. I have only ever done my Gs2 a few times with flashing etc, so am basically a complete noob.
I have tried for the last couple of hours and am wanting to go mad. I have followed all the lines about unlocking the device and the fastbook oem unlock, But all it ever tells me is waiting for device. Im guessing im missing drivers, but I have dont the samsung drivers a couple of times, and unzipped and followed the instructions.
Any easier to follow guides or info out there that can help me?
When I plug the phone in to unlock it, i dont get the usual ding from windows, i just get a little thre dings like it doesnt know what it is.
please help. Thanks....
Ps, sorry if I am being stupid or cluttering the forum. cheers..

Haven't rooted mine yet, I'll be doing it at the weekend. Had loads of issues with the drivers when I rooted my Nexus S. In the end I installed PDA net on my PC - the drivers installed with that worked fine (you don't actually use PDA net thereafter) Not sure if this works with the GN but you will not do any harm trying it.

Cheers guys, Im so new to this, its so frustrating. Its got to be a driver issue. My comp reconises the phone when its on, but when its in bootloader mode, windows is giving me three dull bells when connecting the device....
will have a look at the other thread, Have already read that one I think, and looked so foreign to me!!! lol
I cant pst in the other thread, but have downloaded and installed pda net for android, and when it gets to installing the drivers from the phone, it does it all, ie galaxy nexus , the other driver that i cant remember and the galaxy driver is not installing. Even gone two miles down the road and got a different laptop. no matter what I download or ty and install it just dnt do it.
can some one either make a real simple idiots guide for me the idot, or locally please let me pay you a small fee to root these two phones. Im almost in tears after 5.5 hours of constant crap and pathetiness.
Wishing right now i had not bthered with these phones. At least my s2 and flashing was simple.
It says "waiting for device" because for some crazy reason when you are in fastboot mode Windows (which is what I'm using) uses a different USB driver than when you are in "normal" usb connect mode.
What you need do to sort it out is to go to Device Manager and change the driver to use the Samsung instead of whatever crazy one Windows has decided to use. Then you can carry on with doing the bootloader unlocking.

Ok so what have you done so far?
You have the pdanet drivers installed on your pc?
You need to boot into fastboot mode to install the driver you need to root your phone.
*THIS* guide will explain what adb and fastboot are exactly.
*THIS* guide will show you how to set up adb and fastboot.
When unlocking the bootloader you will need the file fastboot.exe which you can put in the root of your c drive for easy access. The atteached file needs to be renamed from .zip to .exe as you cant attach .exe files in xda.
If you have any more questions then just ask .
Mark.
ok..... having gone through similar a few minutes ago.
The drivers kept saying that they had failed to install. kept trying over and over.
then i twigged:
1) made sure debugging mode was on
2) Rebooted the unit into bootloader mode - suddenly the adb driver installed successfully doh !
wonder if this is the same issue you are having ... the adb drivers only install successfully once the nexus is connected via usb and in bootloader mode
of course you may know all that already but it had me stumped for a while
Thank you guys, some good info and detailed posts, which is what I was hoping for! I'm in bed now, but will give this a blast and report back tomorrow!
Really appreciated!
Thanks .......

Big thanks to everyone. Woke up with a clearer head and proceeded to try again. Done as wilbur said and installed drivers in recovery mode. And perfect.......
after so many problems all was sorted. Then used superboot, and all was ok. 2 galaxy nexus's rooted. think the lesson learnt is to walk away instead of furiously trying things.
Cheers for all the input. What a easy methd ONCE all the drivers are there!!
Cheers people
Glad you got it sorted
So about two weeks ago, while installing a new rom, I managed to format my storage before flashing the rom. After doing that, there obviously was no rom to flash. Or anything else for that matter. My phone now can only boot into recovery mode. When trying to turn it on, it goes as far as the google screen showing the unlock icon. I would surely appreciate any help from you guys. Thank you in advance and I apologize for anything noobish i have or undoubtedly will say in the future.
By the way, here is my set up:

If you are running a custom recovery, ADB should work. You probably are having driver issues.

I don't think it's a problem of me being "lazy". I have been searching for over 2 weeks to find a post that helped me, and I wasn't able to because people on here seem to assume you know exactly what you're talking about, and throw around fancy android lingo that I'm unfamiliar with.
But I have uninstalled the drivers I previously had for my nexus and am going to try again. I also deleted ADB I think, so I'll have to get that again.
So, I installed Samsung's drivers, then went to adb and tried to sideload a rom, but was given the error: "device not found". I had my phone plugged in and booted into the recovery mode. I dont know what I'm doing wrong.
To the OP i really hope you get things sorted out. But some advice if you really do not know anything about your device, about rooting or how to use your device in conjunction with a computer then you need to do a lot more reading and research. Using ADB, Fastboot and being able to have your computer recognize your Gnex is all the first essential part of beginning to unlock the bootloader and rooting the device. So you should be very familiar with this unless you either had someone else root your phone or you used a root toolkit which is the reason why you don't understand what the steps may be or the wording. Toolkit are the worst to use just because of that reason. Also the fact that you wiped your internal memory also leads me to believe you don't know what you where doing because before it deleted it it asked you 'are you sure'. Please spend some time reading and learning educate yourself, do not expect anyone to solve it for you. Every rom, every guide and post on here always starts off by warning you that you are solely responsible for what you are about to do. Read, read and read again.

fancy android lingo?
This 'lingo' that gets tossed around is the basic knowledge one should know when customizing (rooting/flashing/modifying) their Android device.
Would you go and start modifying the engine in your car without some basic understanding of how it works, or what the parts are called and located?
Why would you treat your electronic devices any other way?
