Selling a fully rooted Droid Eris running CM7 port ROM for $90...interested PM me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Patron253:
so i have 4.1.57 atrix, i rooted it with the easy root located on xda forums. I have root access but now Im trying to enable side loading,

For the life of me I cant get glad enable script to work, I followed the directions and I keep getting execution failure, cannot find device through adb...

Any help or tips I can get?

Only thing I can think of is every time i plug my phone into my computer it wont download the adb driver by itself and i cant find it online to manually do it. Is that my problem?? is there anything else i need to look at?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ethantarheels123:
I had this problem too and found out how to fix this.

download the attached zip file and put it in c drive or somewhere u can easily find it.

Make sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled

Plug USB cable into phone and put in USB Mass Storage Mode

Open up Device Manager (Located in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items)

Under Other Devices you should now see Motorola ADB Interface (Windows could not install the drivers for me)

Right-click and select Update Driver Software

Click on Browse my computer for driver software

Click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

Now this is the step where I'm sure most of you messed up on. Click on Show All Devices then Next. DO NOT CLICK ON ADB INTERFACE FROM THE LIST!

Click on Have Disk button

Click Browse button

Go to C:\ADBDrivers_v3\usb_driver\ then select android_winusb.inf and click the Open button

Click OK

Select Android Composite ADB Interface and click the Next button

Click Yes on the Update Driver Warning window

[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
mods if this is in the wrong section please move but i feel this needs to be posted in regards to the cm7 nightly

if you are getting the bsod as some call it when plugging up to your pc here is a fix i have found it also gets the mass storage and adb back up and running again

disable the lg update tool on the lower left hand side of the screen on pc next to time and date left click and click quit then

on pc go to start> control panel> programs and features

look for any lg drivers pertaining to the phone should be two if i remember right

uninstall then plug the phone back in to the pc and wait for it to do its thing after that all is well at least for me and three other g2x phones i have helped out with

hope this helps with adb and all the mass storage issues and questions

happy flashing im still trying to shake the itch from the lack of roms to flash over and over lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
it would help if the title was

cm7 bsod and usb mounting

. that way, people using other roms will pass on by.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Right Click LG Mobile Tool software in your systray by your time and date in the bottom right corner of windows and choose quit.

I would suggest to turn off the LG Mobile Tool from starting when your system starts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
oops

how do i rename the thread cant remember lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
Its the advanced button at the bottom when you edit your post.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
i am sure this will be an issue with any 2.3 or higher builds as when u revert back to stock or even eagles blood the issue is no longer present its deff a driver issue

not that there are any other builds but the two mentioned lol cant wait tell we have hella roms to flash and watch all the bricking ensue :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

thanks thread renamed as it should have been
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
wasn't trying to sound stupid or mean about it. was just a suggestion, makes for easier searching too. thanks for helping the community.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
hope u didnt miss understand me i was thankful for u pointing it out as always i will help if i can as long as u can look past my piss poor spelling and punctuation lmao
[T-Mobile LG G2x] okplaya:
For CM7, one of the CM guys tweeted that he identified the USB issue. Supposedly a fix is on the way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
that would solve alot of the issues that are cloging up the nightly thread i hope they can also resolve the screen capture and lock screen issues thats realy the only probs i have with the rom its rock solid for me and i feel for all the people with the lcd back light bleed issues as i have none:D:D:D im sure that if i did have lcd back light bleed id be pissed too 500 bucks and some lame screen bleed would piss me off although my 1500 tv has this very issue and i never noticed tell it was pointed out about the g2x sorry for the rant off topic
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
holly **** batman what a run on sentence this is the reason for my sig :D:D:D:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
You really ought to spend some time re-learning your punctuation buttons. Punctuation is the difference between "We ate, Grandpa." and "We ate Grandpa." It really shouldn't take extra effort on my part to understand what you're saying in (what should be) plain English. This isn't Facebook.

Back on topic, though, what version of Windows did this method work for you, and what LG driver had you installed? I ask because I haven't been able to get ADB to work with this phone, though I haven't tried it from recovery.

I initially installed, in Win7, the LG driver linked from this post, and when I removed the driver I selected the "delete driver files" option as well. I also went in and uninstalled the driver application from Programs and Features. There never was a program in the system tray for me to exit (or stop from loading on Windows start). As far as I can tell I have removed all traces of the LG Driver. I'm able to mount both the eMMC as well as the SD card, but still cannot get ADB to work.

I'll give ADB from recovery a try when I wake up, and see if I'm able to get that to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
your right.

this is not facebook.

i could give a **** less if u dont like my punctuation, and im not going to spend any time re-learning anything. i dont claim this to be a fix all. it works for some and not for others. also the lg app referred to is the one that was used to install the lg drivers. i never installed the drivers u linked to in ur post. im assuming they are the adb sdk drivers ive had those drivers installed for almost three years now. never changed em there the only drivers for any android phone that i have currently installed on my pc. which is win 7 64 bit hope this helps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unfnknblvbl:
This fix does not work. Sure, it solves the BSOD issue and USB Storage works, but ADB access is not magically enabled by uninstalling the LGE drivers.

At least, not for me.

Win7 64bit
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
well as i said this is what i did and adb works for me not being a **** or saying this will solve ur problems with adb im just throwing it out there for every one to try as its what worked for me now i know this is a stupid question as most dont read but u are enabling usb debugging right
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unfnknblvbl:
here's a screenshot, showing what's going on:

As you can see, there's no LG drivers installed, and everything is apparently functioning correctly, but ADB still does not see the phone. I've run out of ideas here, short of hacking the Google driver to work with the LGE_STAR, but I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. Sigh!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
lmao and we all know u would have ment we ate, grandpa. cuz who would want to eat grandpa hes to thin no meat or to fat still no meat:D:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
sigh this is not where i have pointed for uninstall. but i also dont see the android sdk drivers showing up try. reinstalling them and see if that does the trick. when i get home ill include a screen shot of my devices list in device manager while the phone is plugged in. i dont have anything showing in the usb category only thing that shows up is near the top and its the android phone sdk device

as u can see im working on relearning my punctuation keys to try and help u guys better understand my piss poor grammar. lmao but still come on if u dont get it ur trying way to hard to comprehend what i am saying. the number one rule in life is "keep it simple stupid" this applies to everything if u try to hard u will get pissed and over look the small ****. walk away for ten min then come back and retry starting from the first step. keep in mind im not calling anyone on here stupid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unfnknblvbl:
yeah, sorry if I sound like a ****... I'm just a bit frustrated by the continued lack of ADB (yes, I've check USB Debugging. A thousand times).

I wonder if it's a symptom of the slight differences between the P990 and the P999?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
why would you be in the p999 forum looking for a fix for the p990 lol sorry for being a wise ass but this is for the p999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
also try reinstalling the android sdk drivers that may or may not help as i do not see them listed in ur devices drop down the sdk is listed in mine as android phone sdk
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unfnknblvbl:
There is no LGE software running on my PC at all; it's all been uninstalled, even the LG Unity package. The screenshot of the Device Manager is to show that everything is there with apparently good drivers, i.e., nothing showing up as "unknown device" or as a device with no drivers.

The Android SDK drivers are most certainly installed, too. Le sigh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unfnknblvbl:
Because they share functionally identical hardware, the issue is affecting both handsets, and because this thread was pointed out to me as having some potential worthiness.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unfnknblvbl:
Oh. My. God. I finally got it working.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
Congrats glad u got it working on ur end
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bgolden84:
Thank u sir
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
Yeah, that's not working for me, either. Pointing Windows to the google-usb_driver folder gives me "Windows could not find driver software for your device" every single time. Do you have a link to the LG driver? I went to their website and they want to install some Mobile Support Tool.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unfnknblvbl:
No, once you got that message, you have to manually select the driver with the 'choose from list of drivers on my computer' option. It should be in there :)
[Bravo General] comeranas:
My motorola bravo was being updated when it became a brick. The phone comes on and puts a red M and there does not advance. You can not do the recovery. I need an idea of how to revive it. And try to install but nothing happens sbf reposition the M and there does not happen.
[Bravo General] jorgonv:
did you boot into bootloader (by holding power + volume up) and then apply the sbf?
[Bravo General] silvagroup:
and remove your battery and reinstall it.
[Bravo General] comeranas:
If I've done both and what comes out is only the red M
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
your not holding the vol up earlier enough do the following:

1) take out the battery

2) press and hold down the vol up button

3) w/o releasing rhe vol up button, put the battery in.

4) within 3 seconds a black screen will come up with white text.

5) do the sbf

i have bricked the bravo so hard during development and always been able to get to a bootloader screen. one time i bricked so hard it went directly to the bootloader, so you def. can get in to sbf, unless you vol rocker is broken, then you may be screwed. in that case plug int he phone, let it bootloop and try to start the sbf, it might reboto into bootloader for you, but probably not.
[Bravo General] comeranas:
I manage to load the bootloader and the sbf but when the phone is restarted only relocate the white with red M
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
so then you should reboot holding vol down and then the recovety will load.

hit vol up and vol down at the same time to load options.

then wipe cache and wipe data.

wiping data is prob only way u can fix it if you already successfully flashed the sbf.
[Bravo General] comeranas:
Thanks for the help.

perform the sbf file down twice again but the phone only puts the M, will not let me enter recovery, I think it is a complete brick and not know what else to do.

Too bad there is no sbf2.1 for testing.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
hmmm, unless you are going straight to a bootloader screen you should still be able to enter recovery. my only guess is the update was in the middle of updating your recovery when something went wrong and the recovery image is corrupt.

sbf not working plus no access to recovery sounds like a real true brick possibly.

make sure you hold down the vol down and w/o letting go you put the battery in, when you are in this bootloop that is the only way to be sure you get in to recovery.

what happens when you hold down vol down and put the battery in? does it do anything different at all?
[Bravo General] comeranas:
The phone was damaged because it was downloaded in the middle of an upgrade.

when I hold the power and volume down, I put the battery and three seconds later reappears M, does not load the recovery.

I think I'm going to give up.

May be taking it to a store at & t service, can do something?
[Bravo General] zax10:
Take it to the at&t store. Since it is so badly damaged due to the update "failing" they can replace it with warranty
[Bravo General] bullet358:
I'm a rep @ an AT&T corporate location. Yea, if that update failed, we take care of it. I assume you're referring to the OTA 2.2.
[Bravo General] FirePro911:
Reviving an old thread as where comeranas left off is where I am at.

Wife has a new phone already so I am just trying to revive this one. If not, it goes into garbage.

The screen has been powering up to the Motorola logo only. I can hold the volume up and power button to get to the bootloader/usb screen.

I cannot get to the recovery screen by holding the volume down and power button. No matter how many times I try and in what combination, it always powers up to the Motorola logo.

I ran the sbf file on it twice with RSD Lite and each time when it gets to the part of re-booting it says "Phone is being rebooted."

Then after the progress gets to a 100%, it says, "Please manually power up this phone."

The Motorola logo is on the screen and I have tried to simply push the power button, pull the battery and re-insert it and pull the battery, hold the volume button down and re-insert the battery all while still hooked up to the computer.

After a few minutes the Results box says Passed. But the phone still goes no further than the Motorola logo.

So as of now, the phone still only powers up to the Motorola logo and goes no further.

Naturally it had to start acting up 2 weeks out of warranty. Dang blang warranty timers installed in these phones. lol!
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
You can try sbf_flash on Linux and both the full and fixed sbf with it. I'm on phone now, so I can't give good instructions or links, but sbf_flash is around in one of the recovery threads here, and the fixed sbf is at quarx2k.ru and my rom mirror (see signature).

If you need it, I can make a Linux Live tutorial for sbf flash, only requirement would be 512mb usb stick or memory card.

I once had to flash sbf 3 times in a row to fix a brick from an accidental Defy kernel flash in cwm.
[Bravo General] FirePro911:
So the sbf files you are referring to are different than the 2.2.1 sbf file HERE?

I don't run Linux on my comp.

I'll look at the fixed sbf file in your sig. Maybe I just need to run it over and over again until the phone pops. lol! Thanks.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
The fixed sbf contains the bootloader and kernel and it for when you write to either of them and need to reflash back to stock. Handy for when you accidentally flash a Defy from with a boot.img

You don't have to install linux, just use a Live CD and place sbf_flash and the sbf files on a memory stick. Once the Live CD boots, the memory stick should be on the desktop. Open the folder and right click "Open Terminal Here". In the terminal first type:

su

then

chmod 0777 ./sbf_flash

then

./sbf_flash ./fixed_bravo_sbf.sbf

or

./sbf_flash ./p4_kobe_umts_kobe_user_3.4.2-125_KOB_FFW-4_product-keys-ATT-US_ATT-signed.sbf

Just download one of these for your pc's architecture, if you're unsure, then any of the 32-bits will work.

http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php

The reason I suggest using sbf_flash and Linux is that its supposed to fix phones that sbf flashing with RDS Lite won't fix, and it'll flash files that RDS won't like modded root sbfs. Apparently it flashes differently. Don't ask me the difference cause I don't know.:)

Good Luck.

You said that you couldn't get to the Stock recovery menu, your volume button isn't broke is it? And have you tried up+power and down+power? Kicking it? JK, but throwing my old razr flip phone into the couch as hard as I could used to fix it....it would freeze on boot, but a good toss and it was good as new.
[Bravo General] FirePro911:
Thanks, gonna give it a try.

I am kinda wondering at this point if the down volume is broke. Though if it was, she would have said something about it before it went down.

I did smack it a few times to no avail. lol!

Looks like some of the carriers have asked Google to block tethering apps in the market and Google is caving to pressure.

As a developer, there are a few "undocumented features" that have started to slip away from us lately as well (ex: permissions to kill data use, etc.)... beginning of the end?
[EVO 4G General] teamgreen02:
Google has to make some compromises with the carriers to keep them happy, I get that. The better question is will the new Amazon app store care?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
No they don't

Why?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Because if they don't they won't buy their product and sell them.

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] dylx:
Check...and mate. lol

Also who cares if the are blocked? side load them, use the native tethering.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
your acting if net neutrality was imposed on wireless telco's. This is the way it will be
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Unless every single carrier (the ENTIRE INDUSTRY AND ANY COMPANY THAT MIGHT CONSIDER JOINING) agrees, no...they don't.

Android sells.

Att wants to stop carrying an android phone?

Okay... (please, really)...goodbye att.

Same for anyone else.

Lets let capitalism work itself out...stop bending over.
[EVO 4G General] dased14:
I agree, but even if the market removes the apps pretty sure the app can be found and used. Its anything to charge joe consumer more for less.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
It's sad to say, but the way Google is letting Android go, it's going to be the best MS/Windows Mobile mess before too long! I'm going back to the iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Right now it is that way... Every carrier is against it except Sprint so.....

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
So.....let the market work itself out.
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
Whoever said they're going back to the iPhone...you're an idiot. iPhones got cracked down for this very problem long before Android did. Do you google search homework.

Seeing as how you are supposed to pay for tethering and you're not, this isn't all that different from posting warez here on xda. Just because xda takes down your link to the free spb shell doesn't mean xda is caving to developers. just because carriers want Google to take down, what, 4 or 5 apps that are giving people free things that they should be paying for doesn't mean that Google is caving.

I think it's overpriced, but tethering is a paid service on ALL carriers that provide it. That means if you're using it for free, you are stealing. It isn't caving if the carriers ask Google to prevent us hacked users from stealing from them.

People who aren't rooted aren't even affected. Now, if they ever start taking down Titanium Backup, kernel manager, rom manager, hdmwin, etc...then you might have a case. backing up your info, roms, kernels and hdmi mirroring are all FREE. Tether is NOT FREE. see the difference?

Who cares, the stock tethering app is hacked (for however much longer) so just use that. There'll be apks you can search for. Someone is gonna catch you doing it eventually.

Relax, they aren't pulling a Motorola and locking our bootloaders. THAT'S actually google caving.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
This is fine and well in theory but bottom line, if Google wants to remain on top, they need to compromise with providers. I don't see 25 million subscribers jumping from vzw or att to Sprint for free tethering and android. From the point of view if a consumer letting the market work itself out is fine but from the perspective of the business who wants to turn large profits, its necessary make compromises to continue to do so.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] Fadakar:
Actually it isn't because bootloaders are entirely in the manufacturer's hands.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
True.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
You can't predict what people will do.

Christ, no one predicted android to do what it did as fast as it did.

Google doesn't have to do anything in regards to the carriers Wishes.

They have the lead.

They need to focus on things like full hardware acceleration (make android feel more "finished" ) and competetion with apple in regards to quality (and the selling of) apps.

Carriers aren't going to drop Android over this.

Maybe att or something...but again....please.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Lets remember that Google made the decision here. By all means they could've said no but, they didn't, they compromised. I think they knew what was best in the interest of the company and that doesn't seem to coincide with your views.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] skylar.sutton:
No, tethering is not a SERVICE carriers provide, it is an APP carriers sell. The SERVICE I pay for is "unlimited voice" and "unlimited data".

If a tethering app is "stealing", Open Office is "stealing" from Microsoft Office.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I don't see how that was in the best interest of anyone.

It makes them look like anyone else...willing to bend over just for the sake of not wanting to stir up trouble.

Screw that.

Force the carriers to improve their network and not rob their customers.

Let capitalism work.
[EVO 4G General] sleekgreek:
well if they didnt gouge us to death.....
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Eh, apparently they don't have the same faith I'm capitalism that you do. They also stand to lose more if it doesn't work.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
This is also why you don't have a multi billion dollar company. Confirm to your buyers or your buyers leave you, it's that simple. Isn't that what everyone here says? Speak with your money. Remove it or we don't buy your product and I'm sure google doesn't want to lose millions by arguing with their buyers.
