Help with root? Exploit says phone isnt found but usb is connected

Hello everyone, before I say anything I want to apologize in advance if this is the wrong area of the forums for me to be posting this, but I'm kind of in a rush so I thought I'd ask some pro's 'cus I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. Anyway..
I just got my Samsung Epic replaced because it was screwing up, and I came home today and tried rooting it. I actually just got finished spending almost two hours trying to find out where I was going wrong, but came up with nothing. I downloaded the samsung drivers 32 bit for this hp mini lap top and installed them. I got the one click root exploit, extracted etc... So I run the exploit and when it says waiting for my phone to reconnect, it waits 60 seconds and says root could not be obtained after 60 seconds, make sure your phone is connected and try again if adb shell isn't root, reboot phone and run the script again or something like that. No matter what I do it ends up saying that my phone isn't connected but on my phone it clearly says that the usb is connected.
I don't know if this is common or not, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming your phone is on 2.3.5 gingerbread so oneclickroot doesn't work. You'll need to odin in a custom kernel and then odin in a custom recovery ie. Clockwork Mod or Acs Recovery. Once that's done just flash a custom Rom or just flash a superuser.zip. if you don't know how to do this search qbking on youtube best tutorials around.

[ISSUE] Problem with rooting

Hello everyone
Got Nexus 7 (2013) few days ago and now tried to root manually (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382051)
and everything was fine untill I tried to flash TWRP in command (fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img) and flashing didn't end, had to close cmd or unplug USB to stop it, once unplugged it said "Too many links" or something like that, tried doing it bunch of times with older versions and what not, nothing worked.
Then found out about Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh and again, everything was fine, drivers checked and working, but once it got to the spot where it had to boot .img file it just never ended, as seen on tutorial videos it takes about half a second to load it, I waited for 10 minutes but nothing.
This part - http://imgur.com/QU5Ic0R
So I guess its something wrong with transfering files to Nexus 7 ? Even tho I was able to import few files to it before. Maybe something on my PC is blocking it ? :silly:
Frustrated and exhausted Would appreciate any help, Im new at android stuff so please detailed answers
Thanks.

[Q] My G3 is Softbricked - $20 to the first person that can help me fix it!

I'm going crazy here and I need my phone to work!
I have an LG G3 on Verizon.
I rooted it and edited a part of build.prop to change the DPI which got the phone stuck in a boot loop and kept popping up "the process com.android.systemui has stopped.
I tried clearing cache
I tried booting in safe mode
I then did a factory reset
My phone boots up to the Setup Wizard screen but I am STILL getting that systemui error and a com.android.phone and I can't get any further than that screen.
I then tried to use the LG FlashTool to just wipe the entire ROM and replace it with the stock one from Verizon.
This gave me a "Model Information Check FAIL!" error but I DO have the right ROM for my phone. There's only one for the Verizon G3 as far as I can tell
This led me to realizing that there is something in the build.prop that's making LGFlashTool think the proper rom actually isn't right.
I then installed the Android SDK so I can ADB into my phone. but whenever I run "abd devices" nothing shows up in the list.
I was told USB Debugging needs to be turned on in order for this to work, I don't remember if it's turned on or not with my phone and I can't get past the Setup Wizard to edit anything. I wonder if ADB is even running properly on my phone or if these errors are stopping it?
I will gladly paypal someone $20 if they can get this working for me.

One of my friends saved his phone by this guide

Download mode - LG PC Suite - Restore update error.
1. Remove battery
2. Boot phone into download mode
3. Open LG PC Suite - restore update error
This method have saved me a few times.

Will adb work in one of the recovery modes even if it wasn't enabled in the full boot mode? If so, start there.

Regarding your USB debugging question, you would have had to turn it on in order to root the phone originally, right? If so I imagine it would still be on unless you unchecked it. You have the proper drivers set up? Anytime I've encountered issues with adb devices not returning any results the issue has been drivers.
Good luck.

I believe I have the proper drivers, I installed drivers and the phone is showing up in device manager as Alright.

Try hooking it up to the lg support tool and select uprade recovery.
Download and install support tool
Open tool
Plug in phone with phone on.
Top right select options/upgrade recovery
Let it do its thing.

When you looked for phone in device manager did you change the port to com41? I forgot to do that and got the error in LG Flash Tool

[q] lg g3 d855 hard bricked no download mode or recovery!

Hi all, I come to you as my last resort.
I have spent hours on google trying to find a solution to my problem.
This is what happened.
I store my ROMS on an external SD and sometimes i get the error that it is being removed unexpectedly...sometimes..anyway.
I booted into my TWRP and went to flash DarkKnights ROM..this ROM was something like 1.7 GB i think and after completely wiping the device (System, data and cache) i proceeded to flash the new rom..However it flashed very very quickly which i found strange but proceeded to restarting my device.
After that my phone has been completely dead!
What i think happened is that the EXTERNAL SD malfunctioned during the installation and im left with absolutely nothing on my phone.
I cannot enter recovery or download mode!
The only sign of life is when i plug it into my computer and it installs a driver that is the androidnet driver not the qualcom driver that some people have had and fixed.
I am open to any suggestions as you truly are my last resort.

Haven't really got much to say in the way of helping you mate, sounds like you're in a real Pickle :/
I'm sure someone here has a solution, there'd surely be SOME way to resolve it, we've got some pretty talented devs that do some amazing stuff so someone should be able to help ya somewhere.

Try LG mobile support tool (old version) : http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
Even if you have not download mode, you can try. Install the tool
Try to boot on download mode, you have error message
run LG mobile support tool
choose Additional functions then Upgrade of the recovery after error
At one moment the tool will say that there is not of g3 connected, reattempts starting in download mode or presses on the button to power. Try several times both.
If it work, the software is going to download the last one kdz available for your device and him(it) to fall in love by following
You can always try this solution, with a little luck ...

I have tried all your suggestions but i still have no luck..i tried the tot method as well and it comes up with an error message of 'download fails'..there must be some way to fix this!!im left with the driver AndroidNet being installed on the computer and a phone that cannot enter recovery or download mode. however i can hear the phone working on the inside if i listen closely..if you have any other suggestions please share!

Hello my friend..All i did was plug the wire into the computer and then into my phone..and because my battery was very low the screen turned on and showed me the battery low screen..then the led started flashing..and finally the phone switched off completely..Thankfully i have another battery to continue my testing and trying to fix it..but apart from that that happened with the battery im back to square one where my phone is completely dead again and the only response i get is the AndroidNet USB driver being installed on the computer.

Thank you very much for the thread you posted..i tried it but the thing is..my phone has literally nothing on it so when i put each file manually into the phone i dont know which sdb to put it through to..as the thread says it should give a lost of all the system partition files but since my one doesnt have anything on the phone it does not find them...
However, i did manage to establish a connection between the phone and the terminal in linux so im thinking maybe i have to flash each file manually that i can get from a system dump of a g3 and maybe thay will work..what do you think??

Help rooting ZVG

I have tried using the LG one click root ( several times) and the script version. Each time when I am in download mode nothing happens. I have let it sit there for a hour the last time and still nothing. is there something I am missing?
I have the latest drivers, and i have USB debugging enabled.

if you use 1.3 version then try 1.2 version.

Yep, having the same problem here, and nobody will help me. Tried everything I could.

Not sure what the problems could be. I used GUI 1.3 with only the one issue. Other option would be the USB cable or just some misfortune.

I've tried both versions and had no luck for whatever reason. Did the correct steps and all and still would not root.
Try this

I had the same problem. Here's how i finally rooted.
Tot back to zve
Root with the script method v1.2boot to stock recovery
Appy zvg ipdate via adb sideload (i don't know how to link to files but their in these forums)
After sideload is complete let the phone boot all the way through
Run the script v1.2 again
Wait until it tells you to put phone in download mode.
It will detect you should see the #su script line display on the computer.
I waited 25 minutes to make sure ask was done but didn't get the exit command
Leaving the phone still connected i held the power button until the phone poeered off.
I disconnected the phone and let it boot. I was rooted
Hope this helps
