cannot get drivers to find phone to root

Hey I am having all sorts of problems getting the dang adb and sdk drivers to recognize my phone I have followed the guides to the tee and all of the drivers say they are installed but in the command prompt I still cannot get it recognize my phone and body else having this problem I am running windows 7 premium x64bit
[Nexus S General] mrmylanman:
Is it just not recognizing that the phone is connected? What happens if (while your phone is plugged in) you go to Device Manager? Do you see your phone in there? Debugging mode enabled?

I don't have Windows so I can't help you too much, but those are the only things I can think of off the top of my head. Hope you find a solution....

Here is another rom working for the Sprint Nexus. I'm running it now and its very smooth and fast. Click his link in the OP for info on his rom and it has a link for Test NS4G ROM. He posted on this yesterday but it wouldn't read network. Seems to be working fine now. No FC's and reading Sprint as network. Everything seems to be working.

EDIT: I guess it would help if I gave you a link. Here you go:

yeah it shows android device and I installed the driver I was told to but no go it keeps saying adb is not recogzized as an internal or external command. any ideas?
[Nexus S General] mrmylanman:
Type the full path to adb (i.e. c:\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb). That part will depend on your Windows installation, but that's your problem. Hope that helps
[Nexus S General] abrcrmdl23:
yeah it says cannot find the path specified, do I need to put files in that folder?
[Nexus S General] mrmylanman:
First I'd try to change the directory to the one where ADB is, then run ADB that way (adb.exe I think it's called, or maybe just adb). Use tab completion if you need to. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the command line. If you need help, consult Google on how to do this, because it is slightly off the topic of getting ADB going, and there are sites that would probably be able to better help you than here.

At any rate, it should work, the issue is that for some reason or another, you're not typing the path properly (the Windows command line is kind of dumb, to be fair).
[Nexus S General] ROB281:
nm found the answer on another site

for anyone looking you have to rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak
[Nexus S General] herbthehammer:
Did someone package up the essential adb and fastboot files into a zip and post them? I didn't do all that path crap. If you have an all in one root and recovery for another phone, most likely you already have everything you need. Don't run the script for the old phone, just use the packaged files.

Do these people understand that the phone needs to be in bootloader mode when its time for windows to detect a new device and want to install drivers?
[Nexus S General] abrcrmdl23:
so your saying my files for one click root wil work from my epic on the nexus s? I am no good at using the command line never used it before I had been opening the programs from within windows is that wrong?

all of these roms are stock though. im hoping we start to get more custom roms & themes to go along with the new phone soon. im shocked development is so slow considering this is a nexus phone.
[Nexus S General] abrcrmdl23:
ok so I am getting a little farther I switched from my win 7 premium 64 bit laptop to my sons netbook with win 7 basic and t will recognized the phone but when trying to install the fastboot drivers or whatever they are to unlock it on the phone it keeps saying install failed. any ideas on how to fix this been following J griggs method and so far had been working. is there another way of doing this with out using pdanet?
[Nexus S General] abrcrmdl23:
ok so what a pain but I finally got everything working and unlocked and rooted and a rom installed thanks to everybody's help.
[Nexus S General] herbthehammer:
Not the rageagainstthecage file but the rest of the stuff. It should have adb as one of the files and if you're lucky you might have fastboot.

Yes probably the proper way would be to install the sdk but the scripts that people have made to do all the command line dirty work, the files you need will probably be included in there.

I didn't even use adb at all, I only used fastboot. To copy the su zip over, I just booted normally into the phone and copied the file from the computer like it was a flash drive. Them I went back to bootloader and finished the steps. I remember with one of my phones that people with win7 64 were having problems with drivers working. 64 bit wouldn't work but the 32 bit would. I think it was for the epic.

Well after pulling my hair out and going insane trying to figure this out I am now smiling! I had it all the whole time but when I moved the sdk to C drive and unzipped it I didnt know I needed to open it and copy android to the C drive, duh!

[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Have you guys noticed that the overall color & brightness on the SGSII is much "darker" than that of the SGS? I have both devices and side by side, the difference is quite significant. I know the contrast is supposed to be higher on the SGSII, but it almost makes some backgrounds & icons look too dark.

Thanks in advance, and look forward to your feedback. :)
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
Better or worse? Than s1
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Can't really tell if it's better or worse, but given I'm coming from S1, it looks a bit dark to me. Maybe just not used to the new screen/contrast...
[Galaxy S II General] peachpuff:
Isn't gingerbread supposed to be a bit darker than froyo?
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Thanks, where did you read this? My SGS is running Froyo 2.2.1, so that could be why.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
I have with me both phones and I have to say the maximum brightness is about the same for both.

But what is

very clear

is that the sgs screen looks very blue comparing to sgs II.

Also SGS II's brightness can go down further than SGS which is also good considering battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] demo23019:
Probably the color change Google did with 2.3.3

Looks horrid on my nexus s. I used kernel with voodoo to change back the colors

I don't have GS2 yet but I read in this forum that under display setting there is 3color profiles to choose from?
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
This probably explains it. Flesh tones are darker in the icons and it just looks overly contrasted.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] demo23019:
Sounds like that's what it is..I would have though Samsung would have changed them back IMO ruins the overall look of the oled Colors don't pop out at you like they should and whites also...dull look

Wait for kernel with voodoo color you can fix its not permanent.

Did u check in your settings for option to change?
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Yeah, tried the background contrast dynamic vs standard vs movie... didn't really do much. Even on full brightness, the colors definitely look over-contrasted on the 9100... especially comparing icons.

I know I'm being picky... but, I still have both phones, and side by side, it's pretty significant.
[Galaxy S II General] DSF:
Coming too from galaxy s and I find the contrast somehow too high..

@cmd512 did u found a solution for this?
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
To be honest comparing with my old SGS. It looks perfect because next to my S2 it jusy looks b l u e
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
What about the power saving feature? There is a pretty big difference between max brightness with auto power feature on and off

I never used the captivate at max brightness so the current difference is minimal and my captivate is on a loan for a friend who left his iphone in the cab
[Galaxy S II General] aurelm:
much too dark on the dark tones. I'm hoping for a voodoo color to bring back the natural in it :) . It just sux coming from sgs 1 (with voodoo color also ofc).

Some other things I noticed is that in native gallery an movies app there is an overall sharpness effect. On hd movies it looks ok but on photos it looks really bad.
[Galaxy S II General] puremind:
You can find some measurements I did on the SGSII's display in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124669

The issue you are describing is reflected in the high gamma. The high gamma value is even worse with "auto-adjust screen power" option disengaged.

Basically the colors become dark too fast when for values between 30% and 0% of maximum brightness. The result is picture with black crush and loss of shadow details.

I have already alterted supercurio to this issue and Voodoo color should allow me to come up with calibrated values that avoid or at least mitigate this issue.
[Galaxy S II General] aurelm:
that would be very cool. indeed I was waiting for a voodoo color (since I don't think we'll see a voodoo sound on this thing). I saw that Cognition rom has a "voodoo color" on the soon list.

So long as your carrier operates on these frequencies:

Hi:

I just got my galaxy s2 today. The only and important problem i found so far is the Speaker ( the one we use for calling not music). I keep hearing the electric noise when i make phone calls. the noise disappear if i use the earphone. So, I am sure that something is wrong with the Speaker........

love this phone so much.

Can somebody help?

Thanks a lot!!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyduinihao0:
I bought it from clove

When I turn the volume down a bit the problem is gone.

It only happens when I turn the volume to max or one step from max.

Is that still mean there is a problem with my s2?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyduinihao0:
NO I am having 3g or H+ from rogers, Canada.

it mast be something to do with the speaker because If i use the earphone the problem is gone.

is it possible that rooting caused it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
root did not cause it, the issue was probably always there. i really wish more people would reply saying if they do or do not have the issue as well, so we know if its common to all SGS2 units, or you just have a specific defect.

awesome, there are some data points. max volume doesnt seem to crackle everyone's speaker, so maybe a bad batch is going around.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JF-GINO:
My SGS2 ear-peace crackles on max volume pretty badly - sounds like something is rattling inside. If I put it one or two notches below max, the crackling stops.

I also purchased from clove and live in Canada.

I had this issue with a nokia years back. I ordered and replaced the speaker and the problem was solved. It could just be that it was not glued-snapped down properly and this causes it to vibrate. real crackling is caused by a distorted diaphragm in the speaker.

Anywho, I also was wondering if anyone else has this problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsgfh:
I'm afraid to say I noticed this on my phone today. Turned it down a couple of notches & the crackle could no longer be heard. Far from ideal. Will have to check with clove on next steps, and samsung australia on repair cost if done locally.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavier7:
Yup same problem here. The local samsung service centre technician says there's nothing wrong with the speaker, I guess he's just lazy to look into it.

I'll send it in again to another samsung service centre to have another look.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bverilo:
no problem with my speakers, but sometimes the earpiece sound does seem too low when receiving calls even if i have it on max volume settings
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadidaz:
Have the same problem... Like the earspeaker is distorting and vibrating. It starts just when I call somebody, when ringing.... Tomorrow I will take it to hospital :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavier7:
ok I got back my phone from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).

And now, it's solved!! NO MORE BUZZING when making/receiving calls!

Definitely go ask for an exchange or a change of your panel guys! It's a HARDWARE ISSUE.

Future reference, please make a relevant title to any post you make. No one knows at a glance what "Quick question..." is about. This reduces the number of people who know what they're talking about(who usually avoid these types of threads based on title alone), which makes it considerably more difficult for you to get an answer.

That being said, I have no idea what your initial and follow up questions are even about.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirzahodzic:
I'm in a messed up situation. I flashed JVB(deodex.) directly from CWM (Darky 9.5) and that installed fine, but bootloaders didn't. Now I get a funny bootloader screen. But that's not the problem. The problem is that I cannot get into CWM or DOWNLOAD mode. CWM actually works, becouse when I enter it using 3 button combo, phone starts, and I see messed up pitcure (see attachment) and When i press power key (select key) phone reboots which is the first option in CWM. But i cannot flash or do anything becouse the screen is corupted.

I now want to flash a stock JVB using odin. I go into download mode, but my pc doesn't recognize my sgs. I says downloading, I connect with odin open, but windows 7 says: "USB Not recognized" and "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" .

Tried on 3 PC's, it won't work. My brother has another sgs, and his download mode

works on all 3 PC's

!!! So the problem can't be in the drivers!

So the problem is:

-> I can get into download mode but 3 PC's won't recognize SGS! (see attachment)

Second problem is:

-> Becouse I didn't update bootloaders when flashing JVB, i can get into cwm but I cannot see anything becouse of corupted screen! (see attachment)

What I did:

-> Darky 9.5 (2.2.1)

-> Flashed JVB Deodex using CWM

-> Flashed Chainfire 3.1 with CWM using ODIN

-> Download mode doesn't work anymore

-> CWM does not work anymore due to corupted screen/bootloader

-> Flashed Supercurio Hacked Kernel with SGS Kernel Flasher -> Problems remain.

So the bottom line is:

I can boot into JVB, and it works fine except some small isuess. But I can't access CWM or DOWNLOAD mode. Is there a way to fix CWM? Update BOOTLOADERS? Fix DOWNLOAD MODE? Is there alternative flashing method that i can use directly from working JVB rom? I can't be stuck on JVB without the option of CWM or ODIN!

Thanks in advance and sry if my english isn't very good.
