Having problems with SIM not being read on 4.2.2 CM rom (I bought the phone with said ROM installed). Decided to try to dowgrade to 4.1.1 official Stock rom. Problem is my phone will not be recognized with any USB cables. I have tried 3 cables and will try more (though I know these cables work fine) and will try a different PC tomorrow,.. but this PC is not the problem, I can tell you that.
I have tried installing the drivers provided in the toolkit and the phone is still not recognized. Have also tried installing Kies, and device is still not recognized. Have tried rebooting phone and PC and still not recoginizing. ADB in developer options is enabled.
When I say not recognized, I don't mean that Windows is popping up saying "device not recognized" - my PC is not even finding the device. There is nothing in Devices and Printers, nothing in Device Manager, nothing in My Computer... I also tried doing factory reset / cache wipe / dalvik cache wipe. Still nothing. Is there any way to flash back to stock rom using CWM restore menu via a ZIP? I can drop the file on a microSD card and restore it from there, but I don't know if there is any way to do that from CWM.
I am having a hell of a time trying to get my phone back to a fully operable phone. I was running SlimBean but had GPS issues so I switched to Carbon. GPS works, but MMS (sending AND receiving) and data connection after WiFi disconnect doesn't work. But now my real problem is not being able to flash a new ROM. I hoped to install a 4.4 ROM, but that requires me to install an update to my recovery. When I boot to bootloader, I select Fastboot (it is highlighted in red), but it does nothing to allow me to install a newer .IMG. Am I missing something?
Not only that, but I'm not able to get my phone to be recognized by the computer that I previously never had an issue with. The phone charges via USB but is not visible by the computer. I've turned on USB debugging in settings, but the computer does not even see it as a device in Device Manager. Is it possible that I've fouled something up physically on my USB port or is it a software/ROM issue? I have even installed a stable 4.3 ROM (cyanogen), and I still can't get the PC to see that I'm connected.
Anyone have any ideas?
Try Flashify from the market to flash the recovery img.

Hi I realize that my phone not able to connect via usb to any device (adb, fastboot, etc). Its simply do not visible in PC. it works only charging mode. No i have flashed TWRM recovery but im not able to put to storage any ROM. Did anyone saw that kind of problem ?
Hey!
I wanted to flash a custom rom because my stock rom was very very slow (after 3 years of permanent usage). I installed TWRP and wipe the phone. Then I wanted to use adb to push the desired rom to my Gnex. But my Gnex is not recognized by the computer. So there is no adb possible. Am I lost? Do I need to recycle my Gnex or is there any change to bring a rom onto the phone? TWRP is working but without usb connection it is worthless, is it?
I fear that the usb port of my Gnex is not working properly (maybe broken). It's charging but no computer recognize it (I tried 2 Windows machines and two Mac Books).
I'm happy for every tip or hint. Maybe you could help me find a way to get my Gnex working again. I'm not very optimistic but the android community amazed me before and so I hope you guys do again
Bye

Odin Mode??
is ur phone totally bricked?? can't u go to the odin mode ( by pressing power button and volume down button) ????
drivers?
Are the drivers installed so the phone and cpu can communicate?
Is the device recognized by the windows device manager when its plugged in? If not you could try to copy the rom zip on a usb flash drive and then connect it over usb otg (to see if it's mountable in the twrp mount section).
Can anyone please assist to get data off an S3 which sticks at the blue-backed throbbing SAMSUNG splash screen just after the android rocket take-off.
The history is that the phone started constant-rebooting and I left it off for a few weeks. Then I took it into a shop to get the power switch replaced and the repairer noticed that it no longer reboots, it just sticks at that SAMSUNG screen. When neither of us could get it into safe mode, he diagnosed that it was "definitely" a software problem. Resetting caches from recovery mode doesn't do anything and as I am trying to get data off it, I am a bit reluctant to follow other solutions I have found here and do a master reset!
I THINK this device is rooted (with towelroot)? See below
I can get to an Odin screen and can get the device recognised on the computer and wondered if I could do resets from there with one of the 4 files included with 3.07. Curiously enough one of them did succeed (though the success was too quick to convince me it had actually flashed very much) and the device did reboot but still got stuck at the same splash screen! Taking the battery out and restarting/cleaning caches again etc didn't help and now, none of the Odin files will 'flash' successfully, which is why I am not sure if I am still rooted or if something is returned to stock. I am just not sure which file or what exactly flashed successfully and what it did to the ROM, bootloader, CID, etc etc etc. SO I am assuming that if I can still load Odin and get the S3 recognised, it is still rooted.
Is there anything else I can try either through odin or independently to get me into the os please? I have loaded skipsoft and run it and it has connected to the S3 (and changed things) just by connecting to the computer in download mode: But I can't see where in skipsoft I can diagnose or correct whatever is wrong
Flash TWRP via Odin, boot into TWRP, mount data partition, connect the phone to a computer, and try to copy the phone's data to the computer.
What that guy said ^^^ Install a new OS for your system which should replace your old one. You don't need to boot TWRP if you are going to boot a new OS. My method involves you losing all your data so you have been warned. You can get the stable version for that here http://techbeasts.com/update-t-mobi...o-android-4-3-jelly-bean-t999uvuemjc-guide/2/. Good luck
Thanks for that guys but I have apparently already loaded Philz and it SAYS it has backed up the data and/or storage to sc card and I am wondering if Ican restore it to a new Galaxy J7. I especially need to figure out if I can restore telephone text messages from the S3 onto the J7 but i could make do for the moment with knowing whether such messages have made their way onto the SD card.
Yes, I am a bit reluctant to do a full wipe and restore until I can figure this out.
Or if I can access the files through my computer as you suggest, what file / format would they be in?
If you used Philz to create a backup, I don't think you'll be able to restore the data to the J7, but I could be wrong because Philz hasnt been updated for a long time which means there may be no Philz for the J7.
Philz can only be restored with Philz and possibly cwm.
I got Philz installed through Skipsoft but am wondering whether there is any newer utility I can install over whatever Skipsoft has put there? Or is that what TWRP is?
I am a bit reluctant to install anything through TWRP if it is going to not only overwrite the OS but also delete all the data I am trying to access! But is there any utility which might conceivably get my phone working again without deleting all my data please?
If I load T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_TMB,md5 through Odin, will it delete all my data??
Flashing twrp should not over write the rom, only the recovery.
Was the phone recognized as a removable when it was booted into philz?

Why did you ask me that? 'cos I was pretty sure it was recognised but checked again and it isn't recognised by the computer at all when I plug it in (and obviously isn't recognised by Odin)
Philz shows as Touch 6.26.6 and ClockworkMod v 6.0.4.8
Why would I ask? Because twrp can mount the phone as a removable drive to copy off the data as you wanted to do in your original post.

Sorry to harp but are we agreed generally that there is no way of getting this phone working again, - whether with some utility or by re-flashing the stock or some new ROM?
Once the phone starts hanging at that third throbbing SAMSUNG screen, is it effectively dead save only for the purposes of getting data off it as a media device please? I really need to access my text messages and couldn't even identify them on a file directory and wouldn't know what format they were in if I could access the file browser. That was sorta a last resort but I am now downloading T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_TMB for installation through Odin? Or for installation through Philz if I can get the file onto the SD card.
Did you try twrp and use a otg usb?
It really depends on how much your time is worth.

I will keep retrying to see if it is something I am doing wrong but whereas Skipsoft installed easily, i dont seem to be able to install twrp on this nonbooting pda?
If the phone is not recognised by the computer, either the drivers are not working properly, the USB port is damaged, or the USB cable is not compatible with Odin.
Until the phone is recognised in Odin, you can't flash a stock rom from sammobile.com.

I am not exactly a newbie at this but I am beginning to wonder if I havent just got a developing massive hardware failure. I have tried a number of computers, including ones which formerly recognised the computer/cable/S3 setup and none can now recognise the phone, eg in Odin.
The phone is detected on plugin to Windows 10 (with the recognition beep) and is then not seen in windows explorer. Changing cables doesn't do anything. I am assuming it should automatically appear on the drop-down menu in TWRP's app in the playstore. That menu only shows a phone I plugged into the system about 6 months ago (without it being rooted) and asks for root permissions on this now-nonexistent phone.
The phone is not now recognised as it was up till only a few days ago in XP. Nothing is now recognised on a Mac, though on all three units the phone charges.
Restarting in download mode a few times changes nothing.

The only other thing I can think of is putting some TWRP file (?) on an SD card, booting into recover/Philz and can i not install TWRP or reflash some ROM from there?
I'm not sure if twrp can be flashed from Philz as I have always flashed TWRP via Odin.
You have done everything I would have done to get the phone recognized short of a installing a fresh installation of a Windows OS.
