Is there anyway to root a galaxy sgh t989d without a pc? I have seen a bunch for the original s2 but none for the s2x? I would do it using Odin but pc keeps saying unrecognized device. Have uninstalled kies and unistalled drivers many of times and went throw regedit for upper filters and 2 USB cable all in different USB ports, can't seem to get it to work
ICS 4.0.3
No, you need Odin.
There's a flashable twrp ... But with the stock recovery, there's no way to flash it.

Make sure you only ever follow guides that state they are for T989, T989D or Hercules when it comes to rooting, recovery or roms. or you will most likely brick your device.
If you need the proper version of Odin and latest USB drivers(windows) to flash a recovery and then root your phone, then check this link. It has links to all the downloads and info you need.

I can't get USB mounting to work on my linux PC, windows PC, or work windows laptop.
The computer completely fails to recognize the phone, even when I manually tell it to connect as usb storage device.
I've tried three different USB cables.
ODIN mode isn't recognized either, no USB devices are detected and Odin does not display an ID for the phone.
So WTF do I do know? I believe I need to return to stock firmware but I don't know how without using Odin.
You need to download the drivers for your computer in order for it to read your device. I believe its somewhere here in the forums if not Google it. I would post a link but I'm not on my computer

You can download the drivers from the how to root thread in the dev section.

Are you using the original samsung cable? Mine refuses to be recognized by my pc's if it's not the original cable, works fine with the original but the system never picks it up with any others.

Did you try installing Kies SW from the Samsung site? Installing this SW will also install all of the appropriate drivers on your PC.

And?? Solve the problem or what? We been hanging here for years
Evening amazing people of XDA-Developers!!!!!
My issue is that my Galaxy S 3 (III / I747) charges when plugged in via usb but no drivers are installing. I am unable to see my phone via MTP or Odin (to flash roms or root), my phone does not show me any way of changing the MTP or the other option when plugged in via the phone itself.
It is 2 days old from Costco. I have installed the drivers via "Samsung GS3 QCom ToolKit" and "Kies" with no success.
Thanks and hope I can get this figured out.

What's your operating system? I'm On Windows 8 64 bit and I had to manually install the drivers (clicking on the driver installer) you might also want to try install as administrator and teen off UAC on your PC

I had a similar issue where it was installing as a modem instead of a phone. I manually installed the phone drivers after uninstalling everything
and rebooted, then it started working correctly.

You're never prevented flashing by not using a computer unless you stick with Odin only, even then you have Mobile Odin. Read above and see if it works. Neither of you stated the OS used and causing the problem.

I had this problem when i tried to update S3 from ics to jellybean with NEW install of kies. Had to go to windows settings and untick auto update( i set it to ask me every time) and reinstall kies. Windows auto update seemed to be updating what kies had installed. After this my drivers installed as soon as I plugged in my S3 although windows update does now show 2 samsung update available, I just don't allow the updates.
Hope this helps

I had the same issue, after getting in contact with samsung, all i had to do was turn off the phone, remove the battery, wait 60 seconds and re install battery. after that worked perfectly.
Install Samsung Kies. That will fix the driver issues and it should appear in ODIN after that. That's how it worked for me.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64... I have done the following to hopefully alleviate the issue I am having but with no success:
System restored...
Installed KIES...
Used the toolkit...
The only thing that works is charging... even running in Odin, the computer does not recognize the phone... where are the drivers so I can manually install them?

I know this occurs to several users and to others phones such as SG2,III,Ace and many more. But so far, i still can't figure out how to solve it.
Installed Kies, Installed SGN2 kit 3.0.
When the phone is On, i can transfer any files through Kies, or just drag and drop. Even Odin detect my phone "port 3" in blue.
On the phone, i tickled USB debugging and hold down volume, menu+power to go in Flash mode. and from there i'm stuck. my computer can't detect the phone anymore.
Any help? please!

Odin. Odin can't detect my phone when in FLASH mode(volume down+menu+power).
It's volume down+power+home. Just wanted to make sure you were in fact in download mode.

Its because he has toolkit and kies intalled at same time...it says in toolkit thread to have onr or other....the drivers dont mix
I had the same problem. Heres the solution. Uninstall Keis then reinstall. Then plug in your phone until all the drivers are installed. Make sure you use that same usb on your computer if you have more then one. Then try again by opening Odin first, then put phone in download mode and plug in the phone into the same usb as you did when installing the drivers. For some reason odin only works with the usb you plug your phone into, when you installed the drivers.

Hey guys,
I had a look around the forum found some similar issues but nothing that fit exactly.
I am stuck with my note 8, in an awkward position, I was flashing a new ROM onto the device, it was having some issues doing it (It wouldn't work, Would always fail) was using Odin, and the Note 8 toolkit. I was changing the recovery from CWM to TWRP and then it all went bad, now i have some firmware error come out whenever i turn the device on, I can still get into download mode, but nothing else. I tried using Odin to flash the stock ROM or even a recovery back onto the device and it fails every time. I also tried using Kies to do a firmware restore, it downloads the firmware then it can't see the device.
Any help would be great =\
Thanks =D

Make sure you have a good USB cable... I have gone through 2 Samsung OEM cables, as one did a melt down and the other had intermittent charging disconnects. Have gone to Blackberry OEM cable as it is one of the best OEM stock cables I have had for some time, 5 years now and has never failed.
Second, did you enable USB debugging before doing the custom rom?
Are you using Odin 3.7?
I am surprised that Kies downloaded a ROM, it should have detected that the device was custom. Maybe what you are seeing with Kies is normal for custom ROMs. Don't know... What is the ROM info for the Kies download. I have an odd feeling that you flashed with an incompatible ROMs as the Note 8.0 has three different hardware configurations.

I finally got the install the work then when i reboot the rom doesn't work i tried going back into CMW recovery and it just crashes and for some reason the computer can't recognize the phone so i can't unbrick it.... what do i do now totally scrub

Hey try downloading the stock firmware and used Odin flash it on
What stock ROM was on your phone before you update CWM? It's important to let us know so we can help guide you in the right direction.
Can you get into download mode at all? Have you tried the debrick method described in this forum?
tried everything(mostly)

I've tried odin and stock rom but the thing is i don't think my usb debugging is on so odin and my computer can't access the components inside the phone, i've tried unistalling drivers and trying to reconnect it but no luck... my stock rom on my phone was a avatar 4.0 nightly build or something (4.3 version) and my old CMW was 6.0.3( or something before i tried to get the 6.0.4) now i can't even get it to work when i tried to flash the slimkat rom
i can't get into CMW recovery.... when i try it restarts, when it restarts all i get is a black screen i think i'm screwed here
Try different drivers, cables and usb ports. Usb debugging only matters when you are booted into android. Shouldn't have any effect on download mode.

i've tried different port different cables different computers i've tried reinstalling the drivers and using different installations nothing seems to be making the phone readable, and yes i can get into download mode but odin or the computer can't detect which port it is on
How are you reinstalling drivers? You have to uninstall through device manager. And make sure your cables are data cables. Many out there are not capable of data transfers. Unless the port on the device has gone bad or been damaged, I'm not sure what else you can try. But if it cannot connect on any port on any computer, I think it may be a hardware issue like I just mentioned.
Did you try different driver versions? You can get several from the link in my sig.
What about trying different operating systems (i.e. WinXP, Win7, OSX, etc.)?
Could be worth a shot. Odin is Windows only though. I think heimdall works for the rest.
try what i can

never mind guys it was the usb cable it's weird its the stock cable that came with the s3 and it didn't work it was only after i used my bros s4 mini cable that it started to read it wtf...
Cables go bad far more easily and frequently than most people believe. Glad you figured it out!
