[Q] Unrevoked Not Recognizing Phone

I've searched around for this, but I haven't found any answers for my problem. I'm trying to root my droid incredible using unrevoked on my mac, but unrevoked isn't recognizing my phone even though I have it on charge only and usb debugging on. I'm not sure if this could have anything to do with it, but whenever I plug in my phone there is a pop up saying something about ntfs-3g and a problem that it had. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this and get the root to work?

Few ideas
1 install HTC sync, which is on your phone, this will install drivers. After HTC sync and drivers install, delete HTC sync from computer but leave drivers.
2 if that doesn't fix some friends that I've rooted I actually had to change to disk drive once plug in.
Either way make sure drivers are installed. Best of luck

Well you don't need to install any drivers on a mac though. Try disk drive mode.

I tried disk drive mode and it still didn't work

Hmm, I don't think I've ever had that error message pop up that you mentioned in the first post, do you have any trouble doing anything when you connect with USB? Do the drives pop up and you can move files around? And what message is unrevoked giving you when you start it up after connecting your phone? Maybe try switching between charge only and disk drive mode.

It doesn't seem like I'm having any trouble connecting with usb. I'm able to move miles around and put files on it. Unrevoked says "waiting for device. plug in phone now and enable usb debugging." I do everything it says, and I have switched between charge only and disk drive mode but nothing happens.

I'm really not sure what the problem is.. Perhaps a hardware issue? Have you tried different USB cables? Maybe a different computer? Are you running the latest version of OSX?

i'm going to try someone else's computer

im not sure why it wasn't working on my computer, but i'm running unrevoked on a friend's computer and it is working. thanks for the help though.

Alright cool, sorry I couldn't think of anything..

GNex not recognized in Windows 7

I need help getting my Windows 7 x64 to recognize my GNex.
Whenever I plug it in I dont hear the default USB plug-in sound (Windows), but my phone is charging.
I cannot mount my storage either in recovery or inside Android.
My device manager is not showing errors and my GNex at all.
Tried installing the Google USB Driver from SDK, no luck
Tried PDANet which did not install because of missing drivers.

Use a program called usbdeview and uninstall the drivers you have installed for the Gnex. Then use the galaxy nexus toolkit to install the correct ones.

You dont by chance have the "fast charge" mod enabled through your kerenel do you? Because if so you will need to disable the feature first before plugging up to you Windows machine.

This is starting to become an "epidemic".. :O

I can almost guarantee that it's usb fast charge, devs should really put a warning on that

I too have a Win7 x64 laptop and had a similar issue, but the Device Manager did report an error with the Android 1.0 and/or Samsung driver. I had to manually update driver for it to work thru Device Manager.

Woops. Well there are some ways to check what is disturbing the connection. Let's start at the beginning:
Check if your phone is configured to interact with your computer. After conneting your phone you should get a selection list in your phones notification bar. Make sure to select usb storrage from that list.
On your windows computer go to [start] and type "device manager". After the application (that shows all hardware devices connected to the system) loaded connect your phone and check if something changes. If everything works all right you should get your nexus. If a question mark apears double click it to check the problem.
Try yo connect your device to another computer or with another cable. If the problem is not solved by above steps contact your seller.
If this is not possible install Airdroid and connect your phone to your computers browser or ES file Explorer to browse your pc over the network

Ok, I'm having this issue, but Windows doesn't even recognize anything is plugged in! I tried it on a TON of computers at work with several different USB cables. Nothing! All I get is charging, but no options in the top menu or anything. Is this a toasted Nexus? I just got it, now I can't even transfer files to its storage. I've been transferring files through dropbox...which is annoying...if it is USB Fastcharge, how do I disable it?

Their IS a fix for this, but we need the code to get into the PhoneUtil menu and turn USB back on.
It's an issue with Samsung phones apparently, and here's a fix someone found a while ago.

We just need the PhoneUtil code for the Galaxy Nexus and we should be all set.

Check your drivers

What annoys me is that when I got the phone it was already rooted and I didn't have a chance to try it stock or back up the original. It was rooted with an older version, so I flashed 4.0.4 on it. Check out the reviews on newegg I'm not alone in reporting a messed with Galaxy Nexus.

My issue is definitely hardware. I sent my GNex back and they sent me back a new one which I received yesterday. I checked and this one wasn't previously rooted or Unlocked. It worked for a day (worked as in windows saw it and I could xfer music/books/comics to it) after I get home from work Windows stopped recognizing it. I did NOTHING to the phone, it just stopped being seen by windows. I only used the cable that came with it and charged it the night before using the supplied adapter, but the USB still stopped working. Last resort I did a system restore to the phone and the USB still doesn't show up in anything ,Tried 5 of my Windows PC's A bunch of PC's at work, my friends Mac, my Ubuntu powered Netbook, my Xbox360 and PS3, even the Transformer Prime using the keyboard dock. This is telling me it's a hardware issue with the Device. Might be somthing wrong with the latest batch of GNex's but the USB seems to give out. Even if I put the phone in ODIN mode NOTHING recognizes it. So, before you all waste your time finding a fix, this is 100% absolutly a hardware issue with these phones, I don't know why, but I had Two bad ones in a row, and am Hoping my 3rd isn't borked too.
I have a bad history with Android phones....My first Nexus One wouldn't stay on, so I got a replacement from HTC. My first two G2x's would constantly reboot, It wasn't until the 3rd one that I got a working one. Now I'm hoping I don't have to go through 4 bad Galaxy Nexus' before getting one that actually works!
I have the opposite luck with tablets....the Novo7, Iconia A100 and Transformer Prime have been perfect outa box. This ordeal with android phones makes me seriously consider exchanging the GNex for an iPhone4s....but the iPhone4s screen is SOOOOO tiny!!!

[Q] My Galaxy Nexus is not charging or recognized in USB under any Windows edition

First of all, I have searched everywhere in the forums (in all sections) outside the forms in all means to find anybody with the exact symptoms that is happening to my galaxy nexus but to no avail
There are many cases where others has faced issues but not as unique as this one.
PC = Windows 7 (64bit) + Windows 7 (32bit) + Windows Vista + MAC OSX + Windows XP(32bit) .. etc
I have been seeing all the issues (common or unique) with charging and USB in GNex but mine is truly a unique one.
I got this phone 2 days ago on stock 4.0.2 locked/unrooted from a Blondie.
The issue is when connecting the USB via PC in Android mode (while inside the OS)! Thephone doesn’t event register in windows (i.e. not connection sound or anything shows up in the system trey or device manager)
The phone doesn’t charge as well when it’s ON (in Android Mode) and connected to the PC.
In simple and bare words .. there is no spark!? it’s as there is no physical action happened in the PC nor the Phone?
Here are facts that might ring a bell to figure out what’s going wrong here:
The phone charges normally via AC (stock charger or other chargers) and there is no issue at all in both cases wither the phone is switched ON or OFF.
Fastboot is properly connected and recognized in windows and the phone gets recognized when connected in ODIN as well and I am able to flash (already did a couple of stock rom flashing using Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v5.6
It also worth mentioning that when the phone is OFF and connected to PC via USB it shows the bolt icon and start charging for 5 seconds and reboots again to the bolt icon and this gets repeated endlessly.
I have also tried 4 different Micro-USB cables just to be fair.
Because of this, I am unable to root the phone and this is driving me crazy!
Please help me out here.

Did you download the samsung drivers?

It could be an issue with the micro-USB port on the phone. Some people have started having issues after a few months, myself included. If that's the case you have to get it serviced.

Songs like an issue with your drivers.

i found out that if i plug in the usb to phone phone, then rebooted it. it would get recognized.

Is the microUSB port really so delicate on the GNex?
I had an Xperia X10i before this and had to replace it after nine months.
Should I be extra careful?

Drivers won't fix your problem.
Will the cord you are using charge the Galaxy Nexus if you put it into a wall charger?

Yes, it perfectly charges from AC using thew same cord.

For a temporary solution, you can use an app called software data cable, which allows you to access the file system using ftp. Or any app that does this for the matter.

The only thing I can think of is you either have a defective phone, a defective USB port, or you are trying to use a low power port.
I just plugged mine into a desktop that doesn't have a Nexus driver and it worked fine.

I would say it's a defective USB port if fastboot/ODIN are not functioning. but both modes are working flawlessly and I always keep flashing stock roms!? such a weird issue!!!?
Low power port? Nope! I have USB 3.0 and 2.0!

Problem with StickMount, OTG, powered hub...

I am running ICS (hellfire) with hashcode's 6/8 kernel. I have followed the below video pretty much to a "T", having purchased the identical equipment, and I have gotten the Kindle to recognize my 16gb DT109 thumbdrive. I have watched some videos that were stored on the thumbdrive. When I first installed STickmount I seem to remember it asking for SU permission, which I granted.
Now, however, Stickmount will not recognize anything. I have un and reinstalled it several times. I have SuperSU and Root Explorer installed. StickMount is no longer on the SU list and I don't know how to get it to ask.
I did try what seems to be an identical app, Ntfs Mounter installed too. That app actually did ask for and receive SU permission. Yet it still did not mount the drive.
I'd be willing to say it was a bum piece of hardware, but I HAVE GOTTEN IT TO WORK BEFORE. It simply won't anymore, though.
Any ideas?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFEMh0ZYT5M

I made that video, so I'll try to help! I found the best fix for me was to turn off the power to the hub and then turn it back on, if that didn't work I would restart with it plugged in. If you're using the battery powered USB charger, have you tried changing batteries? (also, have you tried using USB host controller?)

Thanks for the response.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is usb host controller? I did try a lot of what you recommended, but to no avail. I really dig your portable setup and I'd love to get it working.

It's an app in the market. A clean re-install of your ROM might be needed if you haven't tried that.

I put a lot of time in setting up hubs and customizing the look of my launcher. Would I lose that if I reinstalled Hellfire's ICS ROM? Or is this a case where I wipe Dalivk, Cache, install the zip again and it will keep those things set up for me?

Does your OTG cable wiggle in the kindle at all? Or even your charger? You might have bent your USB port, which is fragile and bends easily. I actually just had your same problem with my kindle when I tried to use an OTG cable, and the USB port on my kindle was just bent up a ton.

Doesn't move too much. But thank you nonetheless for the suggestion.
I found a cable on Amazon that someone says verifiably works on the fire, so I ordered it. We will see if that's it.

Well guys I got the new cable and it works flawlessly. Not sure why the old one worked a few times before crapping out. It almost would have been better if it didn't work at all - it would have saved me some time and effort. All's well that ends well though.
Thanks again for helping out!

Can you share the identity of the cable you bought? I'm having a hard time finding one. Bought 3 of the Hong Kong cheapies and they are all pieces of crap that don't work. Getting sick of throwing away a buck here, buck there....

FYI, AL Mass Storage Manager is a good app for seeing and mounting usb sticks. I noticed that sometimes i have to reboot with the powered hub plugged into the kindle at boot.

thanks but this did not help me. It says its mounted but nothing opens up. At least with StickMount I can open my small usb thumb drive.

Try to make data factory reset, but make backups of all your apps in titanium backup before proceeding.

[Q] New Kindle not found on PC

I'm an idiot who accidentally dropped my Kindle glass-side down in a parking lot. I went to get it replaced but my brand of Kindle Fire happened to be discontinued and I had to shell out $50 for a Kindle Fire HD. My old Kindle had already been rooted so I knew finding a way to root an HD would be a pain. He's the thing, for a while my Kindle would connect like a media device to my Windows 7 PC but now for some reason the thing doesn't crop up at all. What is wrong with my brand new Kindle Fire HD and why can't I do something as simple as connect it to my PC via usb?

Nothing wrong really. At least I guess so. Same thing happened to my friend with Windows 7 Acer laptop and brand new perfectly working Kindle Fire 2nd gen. It was some weird problem with his Windows's drivers. I connected his kindle to my laptop where the drivers were ok, rooted it, installed recovery and android and after that the kindle started working with the PC once again-most probably that happened because according to the PC the android and the kindle are different devices or maybe it was because they use different drivers(but I highly doubt this). Either case this is a fix. Another one would be to reinstall your PC. There may be another fix that will make the drivers working once again but we tried many suggestions in the net and none worked. Hope I helped

Does your kindle actually show up in the device manager?

Sorry I didn't respond faster. It turned out to be faulty drivers. Now the problem is that the Kindle is refusing to root. I keep getting "Permission Denied" when I try to execute the root. The Kindle Fire HD has really annoying software and I can't do anything I want to do. Amazon can seriously suck my grapes! (And all the grapes in my house are rotten)

A method I found on YouTube. It worked until the final part when I got constant permission denial messages.
I'd link you to it but I'm a new user and am not allowed to. But I can tell you it's the first result on YouTube when you search "how to root kindle fire hd". It's by a user named reverendkjr.
