Hello everybody
My main question is that if its possible to root the device without using an usb cable (typical flashing twrp's recovery with adb and then flashing the magisk zip in the recovery).
My phone cant be recognized by any pc, it gives me a descriptor error 43 on windows 10/8 in 3 differents pc's and changed many times the cable. Tried every thing on the internet about fixing the error 43 descriptor error. I need urgently the root because i have backup all my data with titanium backup before resetting the phone into factory due to some issues. After the reset i lost the root and the recovery mod so i cant use the titanium backup to restore all my data.
Any help will be appreciated.

Use USB hub or win 7..
You can even find registry patch for win 10 on xda.
And use latest ADB/fastboot version.
Good luck and stay safe!

Just tried an usb hub and it gives the same error. It must be something wrong about the phone. I ll tried later with win7, but i dont think it would be the problem since i even tried right now with linux mint and macOS and got a similiar error.
I always use the latest adb from here xda, any other tip to try with? If its possible to restore the backup file from titanium backup without root i dont really need the root tbh.

Titanium backup needs root or it will fail even froze the phone. Root is needed to flash.. you cab try flashify to flash twrp, but you can brick your device. I wouldn't try that.. try on win7 first, check drivers, version adb/fastboot , etc.
Check the official MIUI forum for drivers, adb, etc...
Good luck and stay safe!

Tried win7 already, got similar error, so, im almost sure that this descriptor error is something about the phone itself.
i guess i gonna buy a xiaomi mi 10 lite 5g for 200 bucks before this bf ends, root it and hope the data can be restored without too much issues.
Thanks for your time sir

All,
I have a big problem. When I try to start my phone I get the black screen with google and the unlocked padloack, after which the screen goes dark and nothing happens anymore.
What I did before this are two things. I had been mukking around with the screen resolution (I had it set at 240 and 280, as some apps did not show up in the market) also downloaded LCD density to solve the market issue.
I then rebooted the device and entered CWM to do a backup which as far as I knew succeeded. unfortunately after rebooting, see the above.
I have tried a couple of reboots, tried restoring the nandroid (the above was the only one I had). that didn't work, so tried to connect to the PC to load a new ICS rom (original 4.0.4 by google), unfortunately my device can not go into USB mode in CMW (it comes up with UMS lunfile missing....)
so I am woring in circles. can't start the device to download a rom, can't open USM to load a ROM to start the device again.....
any help would be appriciated
thanks
Patrick
hey
flash a new ROM via fastboot then, there are enough guides
-Syn
Edit: Alternatively, flash the stock Google ROM via GNex toolkit and go from scratch.
as mentioned, I can't get a rom on the phone so that I can flash it.
I can't start the phone to donwload one, and can't connect it to usb to get one on the storage....
sorry, you mentioned fastboot.... not USB.
so connect it to usb cable. I then entered fastboot devices, no number came up, as was also the case with ADB. thinkin I might not have the correct USB drivers for my windows machine. any idea where to get teh correct one?

To flash stock images the files are on your PC, not the phone.
If you can get the phone to boot into fastboot (via vol up + vol dn + power) and get your PC to recognize it you're good to go.
thats the issue. pc cannot recognize the phone, so cannot get any files from the PC to the phone (ie. cannot get a rom file to the phone...)

Either directly from Samsung or download the GNex Toolkit (You might want to use it anyways to flash the stock image), the drivers come with it.
After you installed the drivers and have you phone plugged in, go to the device manager to check if it is connected properly.

For the drivers, I would recommend you remove all old drivers and install these. If you don't know how to install them, or are having issues, look here.

I had a similar issue with regard to my PC recognizing the drivers. I googled around and found that people were having success with installing the PdaNet drivers, so maybe you can try that too. I had installed the Android SDK as well as the PdaNet drivers, and I eventually got mine to work.
I would probably follow Efrant's links first though - if that doesn't work for you, then maybe you can try PdaNet drivers and/or installing the SDK.
Good luck.
Why not just do a factory reset from within recovery?
¢ £®0π π€XU$ |||
the factory reset didn't help, the phone just wouldn't go past the black lockscreen. So in the end I used the galaxy nexus toolkit. installed the drivers for the PC, was able to go through fastboot and push files and flash a new rom.
Al is now solved, just need to do a lot of work to bring the phone back to where it was and make a backup asap.
thansk all for the help!

Good to hear you got it.
In order to fix my issue connecting to WiFi access points, I decided to delete the files within the /etc/wifi folder (was supposed to delete /data/etc/wifi?)
Since doing so, my phone has been stuck in a boot loop, not allowing me to change much on the phone in that time (maybe 5 secs).
I don't have a recovery installed (just the root with towelroot), so don't have a nandroid backup, and stupidly didn't take a titanium backup.
I do have a backup of the deleted files on my External SD, so could put them back in place, if possible.
Does anyone know of a solution to fix the boot loop, without wiping my data?
Or an option to backup at least my SD Card (ideally data as well) before I factory reset?
Thanks
Idk if it can help, but I did recovery from PC Suite just to get the KDZ of my phone.... It took his time so I went to dinner but when I came back my phone was already flashed. I didn't lose my data or apps it just flashed over it and unrooted (but you can root again).
Here are the answers:
Next time before mase with the root files backup all to SD or PC.

The problem I have is that I cannot get PC Suite to see my phone or connect to it - Probably because I can't get the MTP driver to install.
I've been looking for the KDZ file for the 32GB Eurpean D855, but I have not found it as yet. Also not sure which DLL file I am supposed to be using for Flash Tool!
I did get so close to moving the files back to their correct location, but need like 1 second extra before the reboot!

Have you tried to boot in secure mode? Maybe it can give you more seconds.
Just hit power button and when menu comes keep pressing shutdown until appears the message to boot into secure mode.
Also you can try the twrp method and use adb on it to restore files.
Managed to get it recognised on a Windows 8 machine, rather than a Windows 7 machine (yep, strange huh)... managed to restore using PC Suite - no data loss, so i'm very happy!

I told him on first reply. If you flash to recover through pc suite, it just flash over it without deleting anything.. It just unroot but you can root again.

[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

If the message you are referring to is one that pops up using a windows computer. I have seen it most of the times I have flashed back to stock. Unknown device, device can't be recognized, something not installed, etc. Carrying on with the restore method even so has also worked every time.

Yep, that's the message. I'm running Windows 7.
I'll give it a shot when I get home, but without the device showing up in the com port section of device manager, I can't change the phone over to port 41, right?
I have a TWRP backup from my other E980 that I included the Bootloader option in the backup. Is there any way to push that to the phone using ADB?

before you boot into system, make sure you already have one system installed( I did once wipe system and fogot to install a rom..)

No luck with that post. Followed every step on two different computers, but neither computer will recognize it (keep getting that "unknown device" error in windows).
I saw a post somewhere that someone had luck formatting their system drive in Recovery, but that seems a little bit drastic to me. I'll probably try uninstalling and reinstalling all the drivers again first. And more swearing. LOTS more swearing...

Holy crap...that idea with the TWRP terminal command got me up and booting! So glad that I kept TWRP on there!
For some reason, it's still not reading either the SD card or recognizing the device on USB, but at least this is progress, and at least I can run the thing.
*update* and now it seems to be reading the SD card. At least with that and wifi, I'll be able to move files to/from the phone. I'm going to try reinstallng drivers. With all the reinstalling, uninstalling, and swearing I've done lately, I think there's a good chance that'll work.

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.

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?

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.
You could also try Heimdall (http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/).
my oneplus 3 does not connect to my pc. I have tried turning on and off developer options, turn off and on oem unlocking and usb debugging. I change the usb connection to mtp from charging but does not change. Also does not recognize it when i connect to pc. Also does not pop up on status bar and i checked portable devices. I also tried installing the oneplus drivers. i am on Android 7.0 freedomos-2.5. Any way to fix this issue? i might try to update freedomos because im on a old version of it.:crying:
Windows? If, yes windows drivers are the problem.
Try to other pc, to see if it works., first.

I have tried it on both my PC and laptop with both windows 10. Does not work. My PC also has windows 7 still seems to not work. Are there any other drivers i might be missing?
i have also done some research that you should update your drivers from device manager. I dont see anything related to my device. i went to portable devices nothing and i dont have a other devices section in device manager. Any help?
What recovery?
Try to flash latest twrp. I use blu-spark by eng-stk. You can fla**** thru recovery or Flashify app.

ive also found out theres no kedcom driver when i go to fastboot. i even reinstalled adb drivers to insure its there but it does not pop up.
You'll need to remove drivers reboot, install correct drivers, reboot and then be nice to everyone you ever meet and it'll show up. It's a real pain but you can get there. XDA tutorial all the way there!
I once have kind of youre problem connecting to my laptop (win.10). But, at work, on that laptop, connection was ok (win.7).
I reinstal windows 10 and connection works fine, since.
I allways use latest TWRP & version of rom. I can't tell for sure what it's goin on with youre phone.
If i was in youre situation i format my phone (this will erase ALL in youre phone). And if PC still does not see the phone reinstall windows.
Also: Try a different cable.
A cheap cable could have a charging pin layout but lack data pins connections.
9 out of 10 issues with connecting to PC and getting odd behaviours is due to a bad/wrong cable.

What are the driver links if you have? I already installed the OnePlus drivers.

I used the OnePlus cable and another cable.
Driver issues win 10
Find the excellent tutorial here on drivers.
For some reason my phone didn't show up but was able to receive commands. It was frustrating because I wanted to use the all in one XDA product but couldn't.
Even if you installed drivers they can be broken!
Do drivers from scratch per xda tutorial. Don't forget reboot!
Try different cables and usb ports! My front ones never seem to work!
Don't just try fastboot commands also try adb. Like I said mine wasn't seen properly yet it took the commands.
Unless your windows is a years old install it shouldn't require reinstall.
Factory phone reset might help.
Best of luck!
