No luck with odin.

Okay im running windows xp, and i have all those drivers installed...
http://www.userdrivers.com/PDA-Mobil...dows-XP-Vista/
and http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
so what am i missing to get my vibrant to be recognised by odin in download mode????

What are you running currently?

simply honey 3.6..... gingerbread

By chance did you forget to enable usb debugging?

idk, i flashed from a 2.2.1 rom to simply honey 3.6 through rom manager, but i did have it enabled through before i flashed for sure.... And usb debugging is not required for download mode as (i think) thats a whole different thing???

It needs to be enabled to use Odin. Also, sometimes for Odin to see my phone I have to unplug my phone and open Odin a few times before I finally get Odin to see my phone. It's very finicky for me, always has been

Go into windows device manager. Make sure that your computer is even seeing the device and that it has recognized the drivers for it. If it recognizes it, try rebooting computer then restart the process. Also make sure your phone is actually in DOWNLOAD mode. Not Recovery mode.
If you do not know the difference between the two, let us now and we'll assist further.
Happy hacking!

I use to always have trouble with Odin..then one day someone mentioned they always right clicked on Odin and chose "run as Administrator", I have never done that because I figured I was the administrator....but once I did it, never had a problem since.
Another problem I run into (well not anymore) is the USB port I plugged into. If I was on a hub or something it wouldn't work. If I plug right into my computer it works properly.
I also use adb commands to get into download and recovery when I'm Odin'ing. It also let's me know if my phone is detected by the OS.
#adb devices (should show your phone listed)
#adb reboot download (reboots your phone into download mode)
#adb reboot recovery (reboots your phone into recovery mode)
You'll need the SDK installed for adb to work.
Since I started doing these things, I have had ZERO problems with Odin and flashing my phone.

ay.. usb debuging was enabled before i flashed... now if my turn turns on it goee onto a bootloop... so everytime i cinnect my phone to the computer it says device not recognised. ohh and one thing to mention is that my computer doesnt have a highspeed usb port

Three button to download mode - power+vol up+vol down and see if you can get it into download mode then plug in usb (1.0 should work), then run odin...
otherwise i think you're looking at trying to make one of those jigs or replacing your phone...

try
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

Afaik the three button combo is for
Recovery mode. Follow the above directions up to the power button part. While holding both volume buttons, it should go directly into download mode when the usb us plugged in
Try removing all drivers then reinstall if xp doesn't pick it up
Beware of angry gingerbread man

power off phone
pull out battery
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers

Install samsung kies mini. It gives you the correct drivers. I once installed those and it messed it up. So install kies mini.

What is a NTB? Can you get the driver installed?

NTB is notebook aka laptop, quiet new Dell with WIN 7, I am trying to install drivers but no success at all

Download this and extract it to your PC.
Boot the phone into recovery, plug in the cable, when the driver installation wizard pop up, navigate to the folder.
If you can't see the wizard, open Device Manager to update manually.

It does not help either - I have uninstalled all N4 drivers, started Nexus Root Toolkit and PC itself installed only one driver named: Google Nexus 4 Bootloader Interface and that is all...it did not ask for more drivers.....

That is not recovery mode, that is the fastboot mode, use the volume key to select "Recovery mode", then press the power key to select. Install the driver when you get there.

it hase been fixed....thanks you

[Q] Gionee Elife E7 bricked without reason

Hello everyone! This is my first thread here. I hope you can help me and that maybe in the future I can also help somebody here. I tell you my problem and I hope it's not to confusing.
I have a problem with my gionee elife e7 (32GB). The problem occured without a obvious reason. My girlfriend was using the phone which was running android 4.4 Kitkat (stock). So one day it just stopped booting. There is just a black screen and I can't enter recovery mode or factory mode by pressing buttons on the device. At least I tried unsuccessfully. Anyway the device vibrates If I hold the power button and also it is recognized by my PC. This is why I am hoping to be able to restore the smartphone again by flashing a new rom.
The device is recognized as "gionee android composite adb interface". I tried to flash the ROM with the gionee download tool but unfortunately the tool says "open COM ports fails". So I tried to deinstall all COM-ports on my PC without this problem going away. Sometimes - I don't know why - The tool doesn't show this error. But then the tool doesn't find my device when I plug it in.
Also I tried to get access to the Smartphone via ADB or Fastboot without luck. The PC didn't recognize the device.
I tried everything with Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Windows XP via Virtualbox.
All in all I have no idea left about how to repair the smartphone. I hope some of you can help me with this. Does anybody know how I can access the smartphone again and reinstall the Android System on it?
Thank you very much

try pressing the power plus volume + and volume - simultaneously, release only the power when the phone vibrates and wait bout 10 secs pressing the volume keys. Then release them and plug the phone to the PC and check if the QLoader driver is loaded. If so try flashing in Emergency Mode.
Let me know how it went...

tried
Wrong description!

Thank you for your help! The result was that the device vibrates constantly every 3 sconds after I stop to press the powerbutton und keep pressing the Volume + and - buttons together. As soon as I release them it stops vibrating. In the Device manager it still shows the "gionee android composite adb interface".
I tried to do the same with the device plugged into a USB. What I then recognized was that the Status-LED was blinking red every second . After 10 seconds of pressing the buttons there was a little break in the blinking (like the device would try to restart or something). As I didn't get any changes in the device-manager I disconnected it. After that it stopped to blink and doensn't blink anymore if I do the exact same thing again. it only vibrates now.
I'm sorry that this might be a tough case! Anyway I am thankfull for your advice!

But do you have access to the via ADB?

If you have ADB access you can try:
Code:
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

I'm not familiar with ADB but I tried to get access to it via Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Even though the smartphone is recognized as ADB Composite Device in the device manager, it don't get any connection (as shown in the screenshot)

Device doesn't connect to PC

Hi everyone,
I see this is an issue that is being extensively talked about but after trying many solutions proposed by many users I am still out of luck, there is no way I can connect my device to a PC. USB debugging is on, USB config is set to MTP, USB drivers are installed.... but still, no luck, won't connect.
This means that I cannot even unlock the bootloader the official way since the phone goes undetected. I am on MIUI 7 Global Stable MALCNDE and I cannot upgrade to MIUI 8.... because if I reboot to stock recovery from Updater, the phone will reboot to a fancy diagram advising me to plug in a USB cable. Also, if I try to reboot to recovery by holding power/vol +, the phone boots in some terrifying recovery in chinese, with only four options that are translated. One of them is recovery and if I click on it.... I get that fancy looking diagram.
So please, any advice on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Did you tried the official MiFlash app? http://api.bbs.miui.com/url/MiFlash

nexus 6p not showing on device manager

Hi, my 6p will not show up on my PC. Have tried installing drivers, different PC, different cable but nothing works.
I recently upgraded to android O. I extracted the files from system image and flashed boot image, vendor image, and system. But now when I try to go into recovery it says no command and I lost root access but my bootloader is unlocked. I never flashed the recovery thinking TWRP would stay intact but I guess I was wrong. Normally I would just use ADB and fix it but hence my problem. Is there any way to root without PC or any way I can fix my situation?

Having the same exact issue here, hope someone has a way to fix it.

So your phone will boot into the OS, or not? If so, make sure USB debugging is set to "on" in Developer Settings. Can you put your device in fastboot mode by holding down the volume down button before hitting the power button? The "no command" means you are in (stock) recovery. You then have to hold the power button down while using the volume buttons to navigate. Power button is confirm. Get your phone into bootloader mode and use ADB to flash TWRP again. @meoshe

Yes phone is working fine. Debugging is on. Can't use ADB phone does not get recognized by PC, only charges. Dint even get the pull down notification once I connect usb. Tried changing connection to mtp in developer options also. Nada. Nothing works to fix it. I'm thinking my charging port might have something wrong with it I don't know. I'm stuck not having root atm.

Gotcha. What about the other points? Entering bootloader mode from a powered off state, and that you are in Recovery mode (no command), and navigating thru it with the power+volume buttons?

Yes that works. Thank you. But still can't root phone and can't flash TWRP. Was looking at a root APK but not sure if they will work with O. If I could root then I could install TWRP thru it's app but I need root for that.

You can't root the phone until you have a working custom recovery. Focus on either fastboot flashing or fastboot booting TWRP.img

How do I go about fastboot booting TWRP image?
I can get into bootloader from phone but I can't use a PC.

I did read your OP, but this sounds like a driver issue. There are two drivers that need to be installed first the USB and then fastboot. Since you can boot the device and use it, maybe you should try NRT by Wugfresh to install, test and confirm the drivers are properly installed. Booting or flashing TWRP is just a different command. Instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, you use fastboot boot recovery recovery.img. The NRT toolkit can also either boot or flash a recovery image.
EDIT: Also try "Revoking ADB debugging" and re-enabling @sonysingh1983

Hi, just tried the mtp setting in developer options. Didn't get it the first time but now am able to access internal storage. I have plug sound app from play installed and I get a notification sound when plugging and unplugging. First try there was no sound when changing from charging to mtp. Ok after repeating it. Hope that helps.

Just as a follow up I got my win10 pc to recognize my O flashed nexus. I booted into bootloader after I had updated my sdk and drivers through android studio. It recognized the phone but nothing was happening. I rebooted into the os and the access allow prompt popped up on the phone and adb was able to see it under listed devices.
