Hardware ID Missing after rooting......

Hello.
I used the Toolkit to root my Note 2, and I had to use option 4 on the rooting menu, Install Custom Recovery, Install via Recovery to get it to work. I tried several times via the Odin tool and Twrp recovery, and the phone kept booting into Android Recovery instead of Twrp recovery.
I finally used Odin to flash back to stock ROM that I got here, but, along the way, even though the Toolkit was able to connect to my Note 2, I get the Hardware ID missing, and I cannot connect to it any longer like I could after I installed the initial drivers.
Anything I can do and stay rooted?

Change usb ports or restart your device. Mine did it last night and I fixed it by doing both..

I have the same problem.
Changing ports and restarting in most cases didn't help and only in few cases I managed to access files on the phone via USB.
Any other suggestion how to solve this?

don't use windows..

I was able to gain root back using the toolkit. I flashed stock rom image I believe the ROM from the factory then flashed back stock recovery. Went back in after I updated and re-rooted to flash the triangle away. Now I need to unroot and after speaking with Sprint Rep on phone and trying a few things they advised me to take it to store to let them try it. I believe ALL of my problems started when I tried to use Mobile Odin Pro to flash the latest update to LJC (should I have been on stock recovery?). It started to flash then stopped and went into CWM recovery which is the recovery that the toolkit flashed. I for some strange reason was going to flash the update from there except I didn't have it in the right place on my sd card (couldn't access it GOD I'm a Dumbass!). God help me cause I'm too stupid to even understand what side loading is let alone how to do it. If some kind soul would take pity on me and pm me I could get a handle on the differences between HTC and Samsung. Anyway need to unroot now. Oh I keep seeing in the flash counter saying 1 but I'm on stock rom with stock kernel and stock recovery how do I get it to zero. Using triangle away. Anyway to check counter with stock recovery?
OH yeah does anyone keep getting "Internal Error Code 1500" in addition to the hardware id is missing?
Thanks to everyone that takes time to help idiots like me. I promise I CAN learn.

Thank you...Unlike user: dstenc, the above procedure fixed my issue. As has been the case many times, XDA helpful users to the rescue!
:laugh: :good:

Just to report that for now I've found woraround. I've installed old drivers 1.4.103.0 and now both Kies and file access works.
Still looking for final solution with latest drivers.

Could you walk me through your fix?

Hi dstenc,
Would you be so kind as too help me do what you did? I don't have kies on my pc, did you get the old drivers from the s3 forum? I would love to give it a shot.
Thanks for any help

I don't remember link. I googled so you might try that way.
Just FYI, even with older drivers I have sporadic Hardware ID Missing error, but far too less than with the latest version.

I'm posting this to keep it to the top of this board.
This is my second Note 2 in 2 weeks. I returned the first one because it stated Hardware ID missing, so within my first 2 weeks Sprint gave me a new one thinking that it was my phone. While at the Sprint store, and not yet rooted, we installed the unit and removed the unit 15 times to see if we could get it to have the Missing Hardware ID to pop up, it DIDN'T pop up once, so I thought I was good to go.
I came home and did the common root method that uses Galaxy Note 2 Toolbox. I IMMEDIATELY started getting the Missing Hardware ID again.
So now that we have it localized, what could be missing or creating a problem from the root procedure from the Galaxy Note Toolbox 2???
What I find really strange is that many are not experiencing this problem or they are just living with it.
I even tried the USB Switcher that appeared to install and does switch between Mass Storage and MTP, but although my PC makes the upward noise that sounds like it is installing and recognizing the USB Mass Storage, it doesn't end up recognizing it. It was ZATTA's build but he said it didn't work for his Galaxy 3 or Note 2 either.
Will anyone find a cure????
This will be no fun to have to deal with for the next 2 years.
Chime in PLEASE!!!!!! Even if it's only to insult me, I don't care if you have a cure.
Regards
Dave

if you do Google search, it's a known issue. From what I read, it's a driver issue. Some have had luck using the older Samsung USB drivers. You have downloand them, and install, and have your PC completely disconnected from the internet before plugging in your GN2 after the install. Appaarently the drivers on Microsoft's servers are bad; may be the wrong device.
I've done this, and still have the issue. I just find I don't have plug and unplug the USB cable as much.
What I have seen, the PC does connect to the GN2. It just doesn't recognize it as a storage device. It wants to use it as a modem, probably from the tethering capabilities with a USB OTG cable.
It may not be so much that it's not wide spread, but more that not everyone uses the GN2 as storage device or connects it their PC.

I dont think this is all due to Windows issue. This is what i notice before and after root.
If you have restore to Original Stock ROM, you will notice that your device doesnt encounter this issue.
If you have rooted your device Custom ROM or Flash CMW (this resulted as Binary Counter increased), you would have Hardware Missing Id issue. Somehow the MTP is not working.
If you have Flash your device with a pre rooted stock rom, there is no issue at all until you flash CMW where flashing increase counter.
How i notice this, i have root/unroot my device like 20 times since i got my device.
The issue is here is more of where Binary Counter Increase, in Windows 7 you would face Hardware ID Missing issue. Restart and connect to other USB port will not work.
Some how we need to no let the Binary Counter changed and Triangle Away is only useful if you want to return you device to original state.

Yep I think you may be on to something. Because when I rooted I tried both TWRP and CWM and then I had to go back to stock to get to apply the LJC update. Ever since I have had the chameleon error and Handsfree activation issues. Oh my counter always says 1 and I can't remove it with triangle away. I think it says custom binary yes and the counter says 1. I am using a laptop with Windows 7 and it now recognizes the device just can't stop the errors on start up.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 factory reset questions...

I had to send my rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 to Samsung for repair. I did a factory reset of my device and just received it back. My device was rooted stock prior to me doing the factory reset. It has been a year since I rooted this device, and I would like to know if someone could point me in the right direction for restoring root of my device. Thanks so much in advance.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/root-cf-autoroot-twrp-t800-t3079488

Thanks I have re-rooted my device.

Factory reset doesn't remove root anyway, so the device was still rooted when you sent it back.

Thanks everyone
Now that I am rooted again, I keep getting a popup about what I believe is a firmware update. I know if I install it I will more than likely lose root. Is it possible for me to get this update and retain root? If so, how can this be accomplished?
Thanks so much in advance.

When I first read the OP I took it as they sent him a replacement or something. After reading it again, I see he got the same one back. So, yea, it was still rooted anyway.

My personal opinion is to just do the update and then reroot. To me; it's just a cleaner method and I prefer cleanliness when it comes to updating, rooting, and such.

Agreed, it's a triviality to re-root.
The update won't install anyway with root already installed.

Yea, forgot about updates not working when rooted. Just use Kies or Smart Switch to update and return to stock.

I see that it is recommended to use Kies or Smart Switch. I have Kies on my windows computer, and it did tell me that there is an update available for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. The update is ~ 1.6GB, while on the tablet itself it says the update is ~ 400MB. That's a huge difference in size. Any reasons why?
Also, it tells me the update can fail if the device is rooted- in which case my device is indeed rooted. Should I be concerned? Or should I use some other application to update the firmware on my device?
Thanks in advance.

The difference in size, I imagine, probably has to do with OTA updates only adding in the differences between the current version and the update version. I know Kies and Smart Switch completely overwrites EVERYTHING and does a 100% fresh install of every single file in the software. Make sense?
No need to worry about the OTA update failing during install since you can't do OTA updates when rooted. I recommend getting rid of Kies and installing Smart Switch. Smart Switch is faster and easier on your PC resources than Kies.

I've downloaded/installed Smart Switch. Right now it is backing up my device. Just to make certain I am understanding things correctly, I run the update using Smart Switch, and then after it finishes, providing it finishes successfully, I would then proceed to re-root my device again using the method from the other thread?
Thx

It has finished downloading and my tablet has rebooted to what appears to be download mode. On the screen of the tablet it says, "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
On my computer screen it appears that the computer is installing drivers. Also I just got a popup on my computer screen as well that says, "Failed to recognize software update mode...." - I think this is because my computer is trying to install the 2nd driver.

Yea, drivers being reinstalled might cause an issue. It may not finish doing the update. But; no worries. There's an emergency recovery process that will fix it. Give it a chance to finish on its own though.

I had already started the process again. I did get tablet out of download mode per the screen instructions. The update failed and would not continue. So now its telling me, "Downloading files for the GALAXY Tab S software update... Please do not unplug the cable connected to the PC."
So now it is downloading again, and is at 85%.

At least it should be fine now that the drivers are installed.

It has moved forward this time, and is saying, "Software update for GALAXY Tab S is in progress... Please do not unplug the cable connected to the PC."
Tablet is in download mode and no complaints about drivers.

Smart Switch is now saying, "Software update for GALAXY Tab S is complete. The device will now restart. Disconnect and reconnect the cable."
So, I have disconnected and reconnected the USB cable. The device is booting up, and on the screen of the device, it is saying "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app ___ of 225."

[Help] Another Note 4 Soft Bricked

Hello,
I know you're probably thinking, "omg another note bricked thread". Yes, but I spent many hours of research and couldn't find a thread with my exact problem.
A little background:
I rooted my phone and everything was fine and dandy. I let a friend borrow my phone for a minute and they decided that it would be funny to uninstall google play. I installed the apk from online and had nothing but problems. The app would crash as soon as i started downloading anything. I looked into solutions and did everything from editing the host file to wiping the caches. Nada. The "solutions" just caused other errors. I decided to wipe and reinstall from my backup.
I realized after that because Google Play is a system file, my restore was useless. I decided to wipe everything and reflash the stock firmware with Odin. I downloaded the right one for the verizon model on 5.1.1. Odin sent the file to the device. Just before finishing there was an error and the phone rebooted anyway.
Upon booting the phone now lacked an OS and gave the "use the verizon repair assistant to reinstall the operating system" message. I tried the software (from a friends s5) on 3 different computers and it wouldn't work on any.
I figured, no problem, I will just reflash to stock with Odin again. Only this time my computer no longer recognizes the phone when I put it into download mode. Ive installed and reinstalled the drivers, changed the order of connecting the cables, and when the phone is booted. Nothing works.
The phone can only boot regularly (but lacks an OS) or go to download mode. Recovery doesn't work. Any ideas? Help would greatly be appreciated as the nearest phone repair center is close to 40 miles away
Tl;dr
Phone doesnt have an OS, can boot to download mode, but isn't recognized by computer. The basic troubleshooting steps haven't worked.

Hi urban.. I'm not to technical, but was reading your post. I hit a little confused... Your using the s5 Verizon recovery, not Odin image right
Also try uninstalling the Windows drivers and reinstall after you connect to computer

I tried the verizon recovery for the S5 (I don't have it for the note) and the software wouldn't load. Originally I reflashed the phone with an Odin image but now Odin doesn't recognize the phone.
Yup, I've tried that many times on different computers. Thanks though.

Had a similar experience myself. I also tried using the Verizon update/repair assistant for another device and it did not work. I ultimately ended up borrowing a Note 4, installing the upgrade/repair assitant from that phone onto my pc (enable USB autoplay, then choose to install the software that runs when you connect the phone). The software installed from another Note4 was able to repair my phone without issue.

Interesting. Was your computer unable to recognize the phone as well? How did you borrow another Note 4? I have scoured the internet and haven't been able to find the software online. Would you be able to PM it to me? I would greatly appreciate it as I do not have immediate access to another Note.

ODIN can be finicky with USB cables and ports. Try switching cables and make sure that you're on a USB port that comes straight from the PC and not a hub.
Try uninstalling the Samsung USB driver, reboot the computer then reinstall.
I'm not sure why you were using S5 software when Note 4 is so readily available. I'm not sure that I can recommend using the Marshmallow firmware yet in ODIN. I would use the 5.1.1 version and do the full firmware flash.

what i've done.
Hello Urban415, earlier today my phone decided to take a dump as well gave me that same message with the yellow triangle, i had flashed a bad image (file name : N910VVRU2BPA1_StockRestore.tar.md5) which then gave me that problem.
//-=-=
I went onto Sam Mobile's site, created an account(its free! to download the firmware, it's needed.)
I had to download N910VVRU2BOG5 - 5.0.1 (it took me 2 hours to DL off their site :\ due to free account... but whatevs)
In order to bring my phone back to life also the version of Odin i used was 3.10.6..
My phone was rooted as well and was using N910VVRU2BPA1 - 5.1.1
//-=-=
Hope this helps ! My note 4 Model # : Sm-n910v, bought refurb off ebay.
P.S. Excuse my grammar, punctuation, etc, etc. Also! running Windows 7 x64 and Verizon's assistant didn't work for me either. not even on my windows 8.1 laptop =x!

Glad that you got your device to work. Thanks for the information about the Verizon assistant software. Guess it's not just me.
My problem isn't the firmware and finding it online. My problem is that my computer now refuses to recognize the phone as a usb device. I have tried the usual recommended troubleshooting steps to no avail. Did you have this problem?

I'm reaching about as far as I can go, but: did you try to do a factory reset in recovery? I had that work in freeing up a connection issue in ADB once.

@Urban415 I was googling and found one guy who had a similar issue as you... It was for an older device. But what he did was uninstalled the assistant. Then plugged in his phone and reinstalled the software and it installed the correct drivers... Also I'm not to android savvy, but just a thought. If your using the s5 assistant wouldn't it have to download a note 4 image for it to recognize it. Maybe that's why it's not working. Because it doesn't have the note 4 drivers and image??? Just a thought

Just saying this on top of my head but I have seen system images for the system itself and another with the firmware included. Maybe try the one with the firmware included?

Hey, sorry it took so long to get back.
As I recall my phone was not visible to ADB or Kies while it was displaying the Verizon Repair Assistant screen erreor screen. I suspect that in that state, only the Repair Assistant is able to talk to the phone.
I ended up waiting for my wife to get home (she has the same phone as me) and borrowing her phone to install the assistant software. The software recognized my phone, though it took a minute or two, even though Kies couldn't see it. The assistant downloaded the firmware and flashed it. Phone good as new.

similar thing happened to me but on my 2013 nexus 7. I had to download and use "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and manually (using Commands within windows command-line-interface) restore my device while it was in "fastboot mode". prior to that tried using "WUGsNexus Root ToolKit " which help instruct the user; with screenshots on how to uninstall drivers that might conflict with one another with the use of another program named "USBDeview". that didn't work for me unfortunately . but for i cannot for sure say if its a "Maybe my windows need a refresh/clean slate" or I missed a step.

Thank you to everyone that helped me in this thread. After trying several new cables, uninstalling and re-installing drivers, rebooting, and playing around with software compatibility software, my problem has been solved.
I have now reflashing stock firmware, rooted, and backed up the phone. Cheers!

Samsung note 10+ 5g not booting after firmware update

Hi,
I have applied firware update for years without problems but today I am stumped.
I tried to update todate from 6ETLL firmware to the newer 6FUBD both Android 11.
Set up Odin using 3.14.4 and started ok.
Then I had the install stopping and disconnecing to the phone.
Eventually I disconnected the phone lead and it now wont boot passed the error message -
An error has occurred while updating the device software.
Use the Emmergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
So I installed this on my pc it it fails to recognise the phone even in Emmergency recovery mode.
I have tried all methods of trying to reboot the phone but it always comes back to the above arror message and wont go into recover mode or download mode.
I did not but this from O2 but directly from Samsund and its just out of warrantee.
I dont know wheer the service center is in the Uk and thats a lst resort anyway.
Any suggestions please.

Repaste from my other reply on the UI3 update :
"
Odin hates thunderbolt - If you plan on using a USB-C port make sure it's not thunderbolt. It will fail half way in and freeze. Get a well rated cable and do it via USB concentrator directly
If you get stuck and you cannot access recovery via key combo or smartswitch emergency recovery use Odin
Open options and select get device info - It will reboot directly to the recovery if it was previously written (check the log). After that disable the get device info option and reconnect the cable (select files for flashing again - should go smoothly.
If after the reboot and setup you get a moisture warning on the USB port - this does not make nay sense but it works - Turn off the Note, plug in a usb cable on the PC and reboot the phone connected to the cable - It will reset the sensor warning and should work flawlessly.
Hope to have helped - Had a bit of a jarring adventure setting this one up this time.
The lag in the animation is there, however, I think it's the animation timer that is set higher (slower) it's not slow "per se" but it shows. "

Bomm,
I must say.... I dont know how to thank you. Your post saved my Note 10.
I emailed Samsung repair and after 2 days they said phone xxxxx if you need it repaired under warrantee.
I waited a week for the phone to lose its battery and when booted back on charge cane up with the same error.
So I went back on xda and you had kindly posted the exact fix I needed. I didn't expect that. I know now if I have the same issue again. It was my pc I think using usb-c to usb-c like you said. Thank you so much.

I didn't get any warnings at all. booted up fine.

had the same issue. I was stumped at first too

I've tried all the posts but when I say start in odin, the phone restarts and gives an error

As you say you are super, my friend, I applied it step by step, the phone entered the download mode.

Not sure why you want Q or above on the 10+.
I'm still running on Pie/One UI. Fast, very stable and zero issues. Last reload was back in June.
If the OS is running well and fulfilling its mission let sleeping dogs lie.

One issue is if we don't keep up to date then at some point Samsung will stop support on a particular phone and the phone can be years out if date.
They may then be on a version unsupported by the apps suppliers and will be more difficult to sell if you want to buy a new phone.

No problem here. All my PCs, their XPx64/W7 OSs as well as my Androids Kitkat/Pie OSs are now unsupported.
No issues and all continue to fulfill their missions.
Forced learning curves waste my time and offer little in return. My last learning curves were from Kitkat to Pie and XPx64 to W7.
I stopped updating with the best versions of both MS and Android. I don't rat's arse if it stays like that for the next 10 years... or if my Windows machines mutate into Pie or Linux machines
Whatever works best for me.

It's not just the bugs that won't get fixed it's the vulnerabilities as well, then the apps stop working. I actually enjoy upgrading my kit and amon Windows 10 21h1. Anti virus packages mat stop working as well.

I've never had a malware or virus issue that required a factory reset in over 7 years of using Android. More than half of the time was using out of date OS's. My current Pie OS is over a year out of date.
99% of rootkits, viruses etc are uploaded by the user. There's no protecting the stupid.
I have redundant complete backups so a factory reset will cost me normally 2 hours and at worst case 6-8 hours if I need to restore the SD card.
You waste far more time then this fighting with the bugs, the learning curve and the forced factory reset that a major firmware update requires.
I get to use the OS of my choice... you get whatever they throw at you and the ride that comes with it.

Question Can't use OTA update or Smart Switch - fail at 25%

Hi! I got a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5g that i bought from a store as second hand. They give a 14 days waranty but I don't really have the time to send the phone to service.
My problem is this... The phone right now has android 12 one ui 4.0 with Android security patch level from march 1, 2022. I want to upgrade it to android 13, but everytime I try thru OTA it fails at 25% and comes back to original saying Failed to install update, contact a samsung service center. Or something similar.
I found on the web that updating thru Samsung Smart Switch should work, but for me it doesn't. It downloads 7.3 gb of updates, after that phone enters download mode and I get after some time a NOTICE on the computer that "failed to recognize software update mode" and instructs me to reboot device and try again. I even enabled USB debug mode and I get the same NOTICE on the computer. And after that I reboot phone from downloading mode and everything is back to original.
The phone was charged 50%+ everytime i tried, also I got enough rom memory, I checked. Changed usb cable to another USB on the laptop and I get the same result from Smart Switch.
Phone model is SM-A528B/DS. I will provide more info if needed.
What I can do to succesfully update the software on my A52s 5g? I searched on the web to no result to my Smart Switch error. Also I've seen that are alot of cases where thru OTA the phone fails at 25%, but either they succesfully updated thru Smart Switch or no response.
I want to try installing the official rom from sammobile but I really don't know what firmware I should pick.
Thank you in advance!

Does it matter from what carrier did the phone come from? The baseband is different from the file that you posted. Or doesn't matter? Anyway, downloaded it, now i'm looking for a tutorial on how to flash the rom. Thanks!

Can I use update from SD card from recovery mode? It's easier i guess.

I just flashed the rom you provided. Hurray! It works just fine with odin. If anybody got the same problem with their phone, flashing with odin does a great job!
God bless you Unreal_Hawkz!
