Hey guys, my tab WILL NOT boot into Download Mode. I'm not a noob, I DO know what I am doing with some of this stuff. The tab has no problem getting into Recovery, and, up to this point, has had no issues booting into the download mode. I am currently stock, so I can't go to Recovery (a custom one) and do it from there. And, for whatever reason, the 3-button method WILL NOT WORK (Power+Vol Down+Home). I've checked the Vol Down and Home buttons while booted regularly, and they perform the functions that they're supposed to, so it's not like one of the buttons has crapped out or anything. Someone PLEASE tell me that there is another way, or an app of some sort, that I can use to get into Download Mode.
Thanks

To get ADB working, make sure you install the adb drivers and enable USB debugging on your tablet (developer options).

Hopefully, Yes. If it still doesn't work, select option 10 and make sure it show your device as connected. That means ADB can see it.
Edit: You may need to ackowledge a popup on your device to allow access to ADB functions.

Plug in your phone to PC, it will show locate drivers recommended, leave it.
In Windows go to control panel/system/device manager you'll see one with yellow "?" mark right click on it and update driver software>browse my computer for driver software >let me pick from list>pick Samsung android ADB interface. That should do it.

yeah i just read about it. what a bust. big help man.
Ok, so here's what happened.
When I got my ouya, the first thing I did was root it and set up Wireless adb. I noticed that when I had adb running over wifi though, it would disable my micro usb port for some reason, and I couldnt copy anything to the device while I had debugging enabled.
Long story short, I disabled adb to copy some files, and I accidentally replaced the launcher while trying to get GAPPS working. Unfortunately whatever launcher overwrote the ouya one doesnt work, and just force closes on boot.
Does anyone know of a recovery mode for the ouya? Most phones require holding down the power button as well as one of the volume buttons, but the ouya doesnt have any volume buttons.
I opened the case, and didnt see any switches or jumpers either.
I even tried using a usb keyboard and holding down the volume buttons on it out of desperation haha.
Is it possible to get Clockwork Mod booting from USB or something?
with wireless adb, if you disconnect from it by closing the cmd window, you need to type adb usb to re-enable the usb mode
its okay if the launcher fails as long as it still boots and you get into android, you can turn on adb again and just re-install stock launcher. I'll attach it in an sec
Wanted to mention, you don't need to root (already rooted), I wouldn't suggest flashing any random recovery, it needs to get made for it first(eventually gonna happen soon).
I would suggest deleting/uninstalling whatever launcher you tried installing. Because the launcher they used is built with the framework so you need to do more work to get an third party launcher to work correctly.
First:
adb install Pathofapk\OUYALauncher.apk
Second:
adb shell
su
cd /data/app
ls (get the name of the launcher that's FC)
rm name.apk

Thanks for attaching the launcher. I hopefully will be able to use that soon. Unfortunately, I disabled USB debugging in the Developer options on the Ouya itself.
I tried running your command (adb usb) and it tells me that no devices were found. I tried doing 'adb connect x.x.x.x' as well, but since USB debugging is disabled, it won't connect that way either.
Thanks for the suggestion though. Do you have any other ideas?
I have this samba app installed, and I was hoping i could access root through that, but I can only figure out how to access the sd card.
I also have airdroid and es file manager installed if there are any exploits to get those running.
Thanks for any help offered

i tried it, but it doesn't show up. I also checked device manager to see if it came up it there but all I get is an mtp device. I also copied the hardware id from that device and added it to the adb driver and reinstalled it that way, but it still does not show up in adb devices.
just to clarify, the mtp has a different hardware id than the adb mode one. When I did adb TCP originally, it disabled my micro USB port from mtp access, so I could not transfer files. That's why I had to disable USB debugging on the ouya. I'm afraid adb is doomed to not work until we can figure out how to get a USB bootable recovery image.
thanks for the suggestions I really appreciate it
any other ideas? I have been toying around with samba a little. I noticed that there is a share named admin$ but it doesn't work with the password I set up for the other share. Does anyone know what the default root password is for samba? If this will let me access the system folder, I can dump the launcher back in through samba.... Probably a long shot though.

I double checked, and made sure to do the echo command. Still no dice.
Just as an update, MBM on the ouya dev forums posted how to get into the recovery mode of the console if anyone is interested. I was able to get my ouya running again with his help.
This is the process:
HOW TO RECOVER:
This is a hack, an unintended sequence of events that results in recovery mode; what you need to do is crash the startup using sysrq.
For this you'll need a usb keyboard with the sysrq key, this is usually the printscreen button if your keyboard isn't labeled. As the OUYA starts to boot, hold down the alt-sysrq keys and press i, wait a few seconds and then repeat. This key combination is kill-all-tasks; thanks to whoever left this enabled in the kernel. Each time you kill the tasks the init process will restart them, after about 5 or 6 times init will print a warning on the console that one of the processes marked critical has been restarted too many times -- this then triggers an automatic reboot into recovery mode.
Unfortunately it's not always obvious when the ouya is in recovery mode. You might get screen with the ouya logo and a large red exclamation mark, or the screen might be entirely black; usually I got a black screen. Press the home button on the keyboard to bring up the recovery menu; it's actually a toggle so feel free to press the home button repeatedly until you see the menu since the timing isn't otherwise obvious.
Once you get to the recovery menu, the select the second option to update from adb. Download the OTA update from the link at the end of this post, and run the command "adb sideload RC-OUYA-1.0.193-r1_ota.zip" this will reformat the system partition and reinstall the ouya software. You might also want to do a factory reset before rebooting.
Links to download the OTA updates can be found on this xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266629

So I got my Nexus 7 2013 to work perfectly on my laptop, which runs Windows 7 x64. However, on my desktop, which also runs Win7 x64, I only have the ADB working correctly for the N7. As I recall, sometimes there is a device under Device Manager called "D:/", which is non-descriptive, but seems like the closest thing to the N7. I have tried to update this mysterious device's drivers by pointing to Google's USB drivers and the OEM drivers, but neither was accepted. There are also no devices with missing drivers listed in Device Manager.
At this point, I am not sure how to proceed. Is there a precise way identify under what device name/category the N7 shows up in Device Manager? Please advise. :fingers-crossed:
See if this helps:

Make sure USB Debugging is disabled, device is plugged in, and go to device manager in windows. Then right click on nexus 7 or android adb device, or any similar name. Then after uninstalling everything, unplug device and replug it in. Let windows get the drivers, and MTP should work!

It might sound dumb, but I was literally just having this issue. But apparently certan roms or kernel disable MTP mode when they are installed. i reinstall every driver just now. My fix was as easy as going to Settings > Storage > Menu Button Top right > Enable MTP box.

I have tried a number of the suggestions in this thread, including the deletion of all my google/adb/nexus (and samsung) drivers. None of these steps resolved my problem. However, at the end of the day, I can still use both ADB and MTP, just not at the same time. So it's not a big deal. I think I will mess around with Tasker and/or get a widget for turning ADB on/off.

Are you running stock?
If so, do you have USB debugging turned on?
If you have USB debugging turned on, the USB IDs change and it might not (depending on what you have previously installed) recognize the MTP device anymore.
If you turn off USB debugging, it should recognize MTP.
Now if you are on a custom ROM, there might be some issues on the ROM side causing the MTP problem. Try going back to stock and see if it works.
If you are on stock and have the case where MTP only works with USB debugging disabled, then you can try this driver inf I put together to address that.
It is available in this thread:

I apologize if this has been gone over already, but I searched and have not found a solution. I have a Verizon m8 and would like toy around with a custom ROM. I got weaksauce to achieve root, but cannot get s-off or TWRP because I cannot for the life of me get ADB to work, It just won't recognize my device. I have Windows 7 and I feel that it may be a driver problem. I downloaded HTC Sync manager but it won't recognize the device either. I've called HTC and they have not been much help just want me to use AirDroid. Anybody have any suggestions to what I might try? Thanks a bunch in advance, I really like the phone but would like to make a few changes if I can.
Is the USB debugging on your phone enabled ? It is needed for ADB to work.
and you need at least ADB version 1.0.31
Try to uninstall and re-install HTC Sync. Also there are some "minimal" HTC drivers around XDA which folks sometimes have better luck with. Try different USB ports, and make sure its a direct link (no USB hub, etc.). You might even have to try a different computer.

Yes, you would think such a thing would be more consistent by this point. You wouldn't expect it to be rocket science, but USB connectivity on HTC devices tends to be more problematic that you would think. For me, adb and fastboot worked perfectly out of the box, but my M8 would not mount internal storage to my Windows 7 PC. That was on my home computer. On my work laptop (also Win 7) it mounted internal storage just fine.

[Q] E980 bricked - Computer says "unknown device" - Only boots into Recovery and DL
My wife somehow managed to bork her Optimus G Pro. She was running rooted stock, and the phone ended up somehow booting to CWM. She said she "picked a few selections", and the phone won't get past CWM now.
I can't do the mobile flash tool because every time I connect the phone, it somes up as Unknown Device. This is after I updated the drivers on both computers. Tried various ports & USB cables, same thing. MY E980, by the way, shows up fine in Device Manager.
I've tried restoring a previous backup, but it still boots right back to recovery. For some reason, the phone doesn't recognize the external card, or I would have tried making a backup on the other phone with the bootloader included, but I have no way of getting it onto the broken phone, unless I can push it via adb somehow.
Anyway, I appreciate any help anyone can give

I would also recommend reinstall drivers, then reboot computer( it is important), and try different USB ports on your PC. my computer just won't recongize my phone on one port, but it does on the other. God knows why...

Heheheh, yeah, I was going to, but then I read your previous sig. Perfectly happy to ignore.
My google-fu failed me major league on this mess. I'm just hoping it's not a busted USB port on the phone.

Try different USB ports on PC. When my PC could not see my phone, I also panic and thinking that the USB port on the phone goes wrong.
Then I switch the port which my mouse is usually hook up. Bang! Windows is installing driver and few seconds Iater I was accessing the files on the phone.
Just give it a try.
My signature is just for fun...Emm, I should change it to " hit thanks twice if you like my post "..
