Losing ADB Device when going into recovery - myTouch 3G Slide General

So ADB was working (I thought?) and ADB recognizes my phone when I just plug it in, but when I go to do the steps for rooting, it no longer recognizes it.
I got it to say offline ONCE after the loop, but the on the unplug re-plug, it went away. I'm bummed...

cmon now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703429

You must have misread my post. I've looked thoroughly through that post, actually.
What I am needing help with is after that loop, going from offline in ADB to recovery...
thanks!

Can A Mod PLease Lock this thread, thee is Multi Post in Multi threads Reading this!
The Answer you are Looking for.... UN-PLug the the USB wait 5 second if that and plug it back into the Phone..

I did that, on several different occasions, but alright, will try again. Thanks.

ITs not recognizing your phone when in recovery thought correct? if so thats the same thing discussed there. If it did recognize it as offline in recovery then do as eugene said.

it needs to stick to offline, not just say it onec or twice. itll say offline many times not just once then disappear. Once it does it and sticks, it doesnt turn off, you dont need to rush and hit ctrl c

I'm having a issue that's somewhat related. I have a tmo mts3g and I had it rooted with no issues following the instructions provided in eugene's previous posts on the matter. Tmobile recently dropped a OTA update for 2.1 and it relocked my phone. Now that I'm trying to reroot it I'm having issues getting the phone to be adb online in recovery mode. I do adb reboot recovery and when it starts I have the loop going and I have no problem getting it to say "device offline" but when I unplug the device (no matter how long I wait) and plug it back in it still remains in "offline" status under adb devices. I've heard about driver issues and all kinds of other madness but I'm using the same computer that I used when I rooted it previously. My question is; is this something tmobile might have fixed in their ota update and am I just wasting my time continuing to try this method? If not i'm more than happy to continue to try but not if it's with no point.

Thing is you did the OTA update, so instead of following the old guide, you follow the one in the rom bible in the development section. Hope that helps.

Yeah, I found my way there eventually. I got it all straightened out and currently on Eugene's MyFroyo6 with no complaints. Thanks

How about you tell everyone what you are trying to do, and what you are typing in command prompt.

Do you have Samsung drivers installed/setup?

lol ... well i already opened another thread about how to put hebrew fonts on the phone to support hebrew instead of seing empty boxes on facebooks and websites and what not... my phone Was rooted, Was voodooed but there was force closing on things and market stopped working so i completely stocked the phone, only thing that doesnt work now is my phone memory which is on 0.00 which i read and you apparently have to root the phone all over again
so right now... the phone memory is my only issue, i guess i can live without hebrew if its too much of a hassle to install while rooted::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480964
i have no idea how to work this^^^
i have the drivers installed like i said, i was able to odin, root, and voodoo, clockwork as well ofcourse. now phone is completely stock except for that memory issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804457&highlight=phone+memory
completely got lost in this thread... so yeah, those are my problems with the phone at the moment. i wont mention the obvious of gps etc.
another awesome issue, everytime my phone is turned off and back on, it starts that set up process all over again... language; facebook; google... etc... why?
Once you install adb on your computer you have to go to change the path on your computer to point to that folder. Or you can change your directory to the one that holds the adb file from within the command prompt. This should allow you to run the commands.
The issue you are having with the memory on your phone is because voodoo did not completely uninstall. You can fix this by running the steps in this forum to uninstall voodoo. Don't try the one step zip, you are going to have to do the three step manual method to make this work. Don't forget the final step to wipe data.
Once this is done voodoo will be gone, memory should be back, and phone should stop resetting on every boot.
Obviously you aren't the only one to ever have these issues. But you can recover.
Good luck.

No intro
Here is what I did:
Wanted to flash new ROM, [ROM] Super Clean DI01 + AOSP apps, (Thanks to everyone who worked on it AND everyone on this forum cause Ive spent the past week reading the threads and felt confident enough in the info and the support to try).
BUT
when trying to download with ODIN (not certain if this was the right method, too late now) found that it did not work, couldnt see file when looking in the PDA browse.
STUPIDLY disconnected phone from computer while in DOWNLOAD MODE. You know, when the screen says "DONT DISCONNECT FROM TARGET". Apparently, the rebus string for "you dun f*cked up" is a phone symbol... a yellow triangle w/!...computer symbol.
What do I do to get back to fun?
Tried reboot, tried CWR reboot, tried Nandroid restore w/reboot still the YDFU symbol
*EDIT* I continued searching while awaiting a response and found this thread: Stuck on connection warning screen. This got me out of the YDFU screen into a nice force loop. Since I am not a -complete noob- I pulled a nandroid backup outta my hat and ...tada back to good, now to the fun!

[HOW-TO] Fix 5 vibrate and black screen

Here was my situation: when trying to boot the phone, it would go to the splash screen for a few seconds, then go to a black screen and vibrate 5 times. Had to pull the battery to escape. However, when booting after a battery pull with the charger in it booted just fine, but with no sd card recognition or usb/adb functionality. A factory reset and both htc's and verizon's tech support didn't fix it at all. I had this problem and there seemed to be no good guide on how to fix it so I decided to gather all the right sources in one place.
The reason it's messed up comes from the usb problem, which is why plugging it in lets it boot sometimes. So, contrary to all of tech support, fixing the usb is all you need to do to get it working same as usual again. I've outlined the steps below in the way I think makes the most sense, but read all of what I wrote to understand what you're doing before you start. The links are the specific instructions for each piece written by people smarter than me. I only take credit for figuring out what I needed to do and bringing all of their minds together in one place.
The Process
First thing is to see if you can get it booted. Best bet is to take out the battery and charger, hold down the power button for 10 seconds, then connect the charger and battery and boot. If you can't do that then your only option would be to try some fastboot adb trickery (which is over my head) or flash the stock rom in hboot from http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-incredible-hacks/95406-how-correctly-unroot-incredible.html. Note which radio you have (listed in settings -> about phone somewhere or on top of hboot) to get the right file. If you can get it booted then move to the next step.
To fix the sd card and usb go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243.
Fastboot is in the tools folder of the android sdk, not platform-tools like adb. To get the drivers working go to http://www.flexjunk.com/2010/05/01/installing-htc-incredible-android-sd-drivers/
UPDATE: To clarify: fastboot is a completely separate (although closely related) piece of software from adb. If you do not have "fastboot.exe", download it from http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/ and follow the instructions there. Or, you can just download the full sdk from google which should include adb and fastboot. I recommend the second option, but my hard drive can take the hit. (thanks BonzTM)
UPDATE: If you get an error saying "The Program can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer" you need to copy that file from platform-tools to tools, then it should work (thanks Jester1614).
If you had to reflash and lost root download z4root from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 and do a temporary root to be able to run the commands to fix the usb.
Once the sd card and usb are fixed then it should reboot with or without the charger plugged in. Now your phone is stable and will work with unrevoked again and you should be good to go!

Perfect Solution!
Thanks Thanks Thanks +1
So...question: Does this mean if you had to reflash and are currently unrooted, that you have to wait for z4root to show up in the market. Because it seems there is no way to root aside from that, and without root no usb, and no usb no adb

Actually you can download it from the link I provided in my post to the xda page for it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953). Scroll to the bottom of the first post and in the attached files there is a version that works. That's what I did, and then you can run the usb fixing commands. Then it's just reboot, re-root, and restore.
Hope this helps.
This thread needs more attention.
This needs to be stickied(sp?) and maybe added to the Development section where it would most likely be looked for first.

As you can see by my post count I can't put anything anywhere, so if someone wants to move it feel free.

I wish I would have known this back in March when this happened to me! But then again my phone was S-ON and to get the USB fix to work you said you need root so I might have still been SOL.

That is what the z4 root is for. You dont need s-off, just root. The things are going to s-on by themselves when something is trying to write to the misc, thus the misc brick. PITA brick if ya ask me.

Late and great is an over statement. I am just a user like most here. I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my PM. I have been out of the Inc game for some time now so a little direction was very helpful.
Like I said I knew what had to be done but ADB kept ****ting itself, as soon as I read the OP and to use a terminal emulator I slammed my head on my desk.
So simple, I was spending all my time trying to get ADB to run that the idea of the usb being borked hadn't even crossed my mine.
This thread really does deserve more credit and to OP good on ya son. Well done.
Thank you goblue13579, wildstang83 and Doug Piston! My phone is totally functional once again.
Odd timing how the problem happened only 2 days ago on my phone, and coincidentally, a fix was hashed out in the same time period after all this time of it being unfixable.
I owe you all a beer! Thanks again!

Yea bud, even I use adb so much that I keep forgetting that there's emulators to use. Its just one of those things we never think about.
Even though it was really more dumb luck and excessive googling that got me to this solution, thanks! I'm glad my compilation has helped so many people. And honestly, it's the least I can do for all the help and goodies I've gotten from these forums and developers.
Happy modding!
What if the devise isn't rooted?
Let the phone sit for an hour with the battery out. Put the battery in after that, should be good

Stuck at HTC screen, won't boot

Hello All,
I have run into a problem with my Heroc not wanting to boot. Some background:
ROM: CM7
Kernal: Jaybob's recent Kernal
Mods: Firerats
All was fine and dandy until yesterday, when I decided to reboot the phone (with a full battery charge). The phone shutoff and when restarted was stuck at the HTC screen. I've tried several times to get into recovery but it hangs at the HTC Screen.
I can enter Fastboot/Hboot. I did some digging and tried to unroot by using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988741
Method 1, loading the imaging on the sd root and loading. Everything loaded fine but when I reboot it still hangs at the HTC screen. I have not tried to RUU being that I am on a Mac and don't have access to a PC at the moment. So RUU will be done later tonight hopefully, but I don't expect different results.
It seems like I have some messed up memory and its not allowing me to boot. Does anyone know of a fix? I'm not desperate because its time for an upgrade. I just wanted to hold off on using it until January when Sprint holds their press conference, assuming its an Android device. I'd like to see what I could get versus the phones on the market now.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance

You definitely need to do an RUU. No way around it. know it sucks starting fresh again but it'll solve all these problems you have. If your s-off you can also do the RUU from Hboot but it's better to do it from PC as I have learned. Good luck man.
thanks a lot! om going to give it a try later tonight when i have access to a pc. Im not so much worried about starting fresh than I am losing the phone and using my upgrade now... I have a curve laying around and started to thing about using that for a while until I see something I like.
i will report back tonight or tomorrow when i am up and running again.
I had the same problem awhile back and it took me forever to get it fixed but I finally got it fixed. Search the forum for " stuck at HTC screen and look for the threads I started for as possible fix. I will try to find it and post the link here.

Thanks. I will give it a look.
I read through the thread and it looks like you passed the black htc screen and got to the white one. I can't get passed the black and adb doesn't pick up the phone at this point. I'm still waiting to try the RUU and see if HTC sync picks up the device.
Very resourceful thread and I'll be sure to give all the suggestions a try before giving up.
HTC sync won't pick up the device and I don't think any other option will work since I don't have ADB access. I'm just gonna bite the bullet and look into a replacement.

i had same kinda deal from a bad radio flash
if you still have fastboot do
"fastboot erase system -w"
"fastboot oem boot heroc.hboot-1.46.2000.zip"
you may need to rename the file to HBOOT.
if that dose not work unzip the file take the hboot img and place on sdcard and place where your fastboot files are like in android/platform-tools.
this made a deference for me.
then try fastboot flash img hboot.img
this is what i went through here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086125
good luck if i can help let me know.
Thanks for the help oostah. I haven't been able to get ADB to recognize the device. When I get home I'll try it again and remove the hboot as suggested and give that a try.
Now that ICS is in beta for the Heroc my phone decides to crap out on me and I can't enjoy the hard work put in by the developers. Nonetheless, I am much appreciative of all the support put into the Heroc and have learned a lot from this community

you are welcome i have been there before.
your phone may not recognize ADB but it may still take fastboot commands. that was one thing that drove me crazy is that i could fastboot but not adb. let us all know how it goes.
I did "fastboot-mac devices" and got my device to show up, so it registered. however, when I go to erase system I get an error, "remote: not allowed". The same occurred when trying to flash the .zip and img files separately as suggested . At one point the devices started vibrating like crazy and shut off, the led started to blink green. I did get it back into Fastboot, but now it won't turn on.
Thanks for the help though It was already replaced and the new phone should be here tomorrow. I'm just going to miss the Hero since it was my first Android device and I learned a lot in this forum.

"fastboot boot img system.img"
and so on
or you can let it RIP
good to know. I'll give that a try if I can get it booted. I'm thinking its dead and needs a charge to get back into fastboot. I'd love to get it back up and running as a learning experience more than anything. I wont have time until tomorrow or Thursday . I will report back when I give it a try.

[Q] S4 stuck on Downloading mode..pls help

Hi guys, Last night I accidently unplugged my phone while installing ClockWORKMOD recovery. Now when I boot my device it is stuck on the Downloading screen. I tried everything including the posts here but the Odin software doesn't see my phone and removing the battery and reinstalling does nothing. I even wiped the phone and factory reset via the clockwork... No Luck. It will not install the Crash ROM either. I get error 7.
It seems like I bricked the phone but I know there is always a way back to life. At least I hope. Any help guys would be great.

You need to properly install the correct drivers on your PC. There should be no reason that ODIN doesn't see your phone if they are installed correctly. A quick search of the forums should get you the proper drivers to install. You can also try Kies emergency recovery, but it is hit and miss. Good luck.
+1 if you can get into download you can Odin. Use the usb ports in the back of the pc. You might have to use a different computer also. For the life of me I can't get Odin on my pc to recognize the device but I have no problem with my laptop.

That's the thing, these exact same types of threads just keep rolling through one after the other...people don't search and they don't read. That's the reason they are in the situation they are in to begin with and it seems they just don't learn.
Fortunately, the AT&T S4 forum has come far enough along that the sticky threads and the threads like your guide can be linked for these people to put a little time into finding a solution for themselves. Most of them don't like it (they want it done for them), but if it is all they get, they will finally have to do something the right way on their own.
Actually, a few people are thankful for being pointed in the right direction, but most are still pissed because it means they have to do what they should have done in the first place...follow XDA rules, use the search function, and read. If you don't do everything for them and hand it to them on a plate they call you names and say you are a ****, unhelpful, etc... I just laugh about it because it becomes clear why their phone is F'ed up in the first place. The thing is, sometimes you just can't help people. Just every now and then, someone comes along that needs help and is willing to do things the right way.
You can NOT have kies drivers and samsung drivers loading at the same time, I do not use kies at all, and my pc has NEVER gave me a issue yet using odin, including in my G3 days. uninstall that worthless kies and proceed. If you have to use kies, load it as needed then remove it.
And as always with the lovely microsoft windows, after you un-install anything you have to reboot, for it to work properly.
Linux is my BUD!

[Bricked/Help] Just another moron f*d up

Tl;dr: I(dumbass) bricked my phone to the point, where I only can get the bootloader. No fastboot mode, no recovery, no boot.
How: I rooted my phone to a pretty good working state of stock OS+Magisk, right after I got it (Android 10). Later after a couple systemupdates and the patch to A11 and even more updates I thought, it would be time to patch magisk again, or revert to unroot, so I tried patching magisk, but somehow my phone got a lot of bugs, like no sound and very long boot times.
Then I tried reverting back by adding a stock boot image and stuff and a lot of things went unlike any tutorial said and now I'm stuck on beforementioned phonestate.
My PC(Asus Notebook) with installed Qualcomm-Drivers and Oneplus-drivers only recognizes the phone when I try to connect it via EDL-mode (vol-up+down+connect USB) but only for like 10 sec. Then bootloader starts up annd connection is lost.
What would be the most logical approach? How do I start?
And yes, I read a lot of posts trying to fix it myself, but I can only find so much.

Are you using the correct cable?
Thread can be closed.
I followed the beforementioned link already but on my homepc I had some issues with the tool and/or drivers, I think.
Now on my notebook Ijust wasn't quick enough, so the phone restartet into bootloader after a couple seconds.
After a couple tries it worked.
Whew, glad that worked out. I bricked my Optimus M and this guy Asdullah took time out of his day to video chat with me and help me unbrick my phone. Some folks in this community are ****ing awesome!
