Never had that problem. Usually setting the wifi sleep policy to "never" fixes it. If its not then...?

I hate to ask but I have to, do you format /system between flashes, and has this been on multiple kernels?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
No I don't, should I? I have never formatted my system.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
And its mostly been on sense 3.5 Roms
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Always, always, always format system when flashing a ROM.

It will save you countless headaches.

Motorola Razr

Hello, I was wondering if this would work for the Motorola drivers. I've been trying to install them so that I can fastboot my Razr, but it quits right after it recognizes that I'm on Windows 8.

I guess I might as well just try it in the meantime!

-Jake

Edit: In the ADB drivers link you posted, there's nothing to install. Just .sys files, .dlls, two .cat files, and some .infs. How exactly does one do anything with these files? Also, your second link for USB drivers was removed by mediafire.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Download MotoHelper. Right click the file and run in compatibility mode. It should install the drivers. I used this to run fastboot with my xoom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thejakenixon:
It still hangs while running as admin under compatability mode for 7, I'll try as XP momentarily.

Edit: XP compatability didn't work either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Bummer, I just remembered there was a setting to skip os version check in compatibility mode. Did you try that? If that won't work unfortunately I don't know what else to try. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
First of all, thanks, for letting me know about the link :) It's uploading again ^^

Yes, you can do the same for your Motorola. But only with the ADB drivers. Just do the same as with the Samsung. Select your device, form the devman. and right click. Update device drivers -> Browse -> Let me choose from a list... -> Samsnung ADB interface.

They are all provided by Google, inc. so, they are compatible, with every Android device. I've even used my Samsung ADB drivers, for a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. So I can actually say, for myself, that they work. You then can work, using fastboot... ^^

Have fun fastbooting! :D

I don't remember mentioning it, but if you Need help, PM me. I'll help you via Team Viewer ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iconicpaul:
will this work on Windows 8 Release Preview also ? are those compatible with x64 version of W8?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Yes, it works on both x86 and x64 bit architectures of Windows 8, works withRC and with pre-release...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iconicpaul:
confirmed, it works, thank you...very fast and easy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
To your edit. You have extracted the files. This is also called "installing" because you have extracted NEEDED files. Even when you extract a .zip/.rar/.tar/.tar.gz and so on, because you need files out of them, you are installing, but not to the system, but to yourself ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeveryday:
Sorry for bringing up an old post, but this method is not working for me on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. When I'm trying to install the ADB drivers, it says the drivers cannot be installed because it's not digitally signed.

UPDATE: I got it to work by disabling the Digital Signature Enforcement on Windows 8. Steps: Restart Windows > Boot loader Menu > Other Options > Advance Options > *Computer Automatically Restarts* > Press F7 to Disable Digital Signature Enforcement

Yes, it should work with all Android-modification applications. I have never really had problems, with Odin, with any version of Windows, mainly because this is the first thing I do, on any of my Windows machines, but it is always worth a try :) Tell us, what you have found out!

If necessary, I'll try to find a solution myself :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jorgefcbastos:
Didn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Did you follow the tutorial COMPLETELY, or did you leave stuff out? If you left something out, it's obviously not going to work :)

You may have to disable device driver signing, I've had quite a few people notify me about this.

But I'll sign the drivers, ASAP, so you won't have this problem :)

LG familyguy59/Beatsleigher

Edit: I forgot to mention, you need to tell me what exactly didn't work, otherwise I can't really help you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jorgefcbastos:
I think I did all you told me to do but it didn't work. Not telling you are wrong, but I'm frustrated because I can't contour this problem.

Well, it would be cool, but I can't.

Great tutorial, and it does help. I finally got my phone to be seen in fastboot. Now my problem is when I try to flash the latest CWM Touch image, I type in the command 'fastboot flash recovery {enter recovery name here} I now get an error that says error: can not load. I have checked and double checked, and the file is in the root of the phone sd. I'm not sure if this is a related issue or just general user error. Any thoughts would be welcome.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
The file has to be located on the computer's hard drive. In fastboot mode, the device can't access the virtual SD card.

Hi im stuck by updating the drivers in device manager

"Windows could not find driver software for your device" it says.

I've disabled driver signature verification in Windows advanced boot options but still no progress.

I have unpacked the drivers to my desktop from your links in the first post.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Omega AOKP 4.2 from Indie if it matters

and my OS is Windows 8 pro upgrade.

I really need help...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Sure, I'll try my best, to help :)

Did you just select the folder, instead of a .inf in the folder?

You have to select the whole folder, because it contains all the information, needed :)

If that still doesn't work/you've done it right, then try re-downloading the .zip file and then try again. If THAT doesn't work, send me an e-mail @ Beatsleigher@hotmail.com and I'll do it, for you, via TeamViewer. Basically, it allows me full control of your system, so I can have a look and see what the problem is. I don't think it's got to do with the update package, as it is a full version of the Windows OS.

Oh, and if you're worried, about me looking at your stuff, dw. I'm not interested in any of your files. I've done this with a couple of users, and I've gained all their trust. I've helped at @M4gkman the most, so incase you're still not sure, ask him.

Hope I could help!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Klype:
No that is okay, i don't mind letting you help me fix my problems with the fastboot drivers:good:.

I would be very thankfull.

I guess that i have to install teamviewer on my desktop?

The one for windows or from google play?

I did select the whole folder and windows didn't let me select in any other way.

Here's what i've done so far:

Downloaded and unpacked the drivers for USB and ADB with 7-Zip

Turn off Driver signature verification. Just in case.

plugged in my S3 and found it in device manager, right click- update driver- browse computer and selected the folder + ticked for subfolders.

That's where windows couldn't find any apropriate file to install and abborted.

Would you care to tell me more about the wugfresh toolkit and how to do?

Does that work with S3-i9300?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Well, when did I post this tutorial? Exactly, in the time Windows 8 was still being developed. The tool kit you mentioned was probably made after I posted this. And this is guaranteed to work, tool kits can always fail.

I am stuck with my computer not recognizing my s3 from the usb cable. My phone is in download mode as I was using odin to wipe it and forget to uncheck auto reboot...........Please help I am pretty sure I have the drivers installed because everything was working before I flashed the BOOTLOADER_I535VRALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

Actually fixed my own Question....

My phone was in download mode and was not being recognized by my computer my windows 7 computer. I pressed the usb icon, where a box popped up saying that there was an unknown device. You could find this in device manager.

I then went to device manager to update the driver instead of pointing the device directly to the driver when i clicked browse my computer for software then it shows a location and option to let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer then a box pops up showing model above that there is a little check box uncheck that two boxes will appear with manufacturer and model

Scroll samsung electronics and model samsung mobile composite device that is what you want to update the driver to...

I pulled the battery then re-entered download mode and windows to over installing the rest now it works fine. I would attach images but it will not let me for some reason. if anyone can help with that I will do it later.

THIS COULD POSSIBLY help with devices not being found on computers in bootloader or just on rom loaded and running..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
I know what you mean, no worries. If you have the Samsung drivers installed, you can select from a list, but I don't recommend that, as they may have been downloaded from Windows Update databases.

The link for the drivers is down again!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
"purest debloated forms" = AOSP. As for cm9, we get it when we get it. Devs hate when users ask for ETA's, they are doing this of of their own free will without pay as a hobby, so ANY expectations are unrealistic.

Work is being done on it, but until source is released (which could be awhile), they are trying to port from other msm8660 devices.

The rom works ok but I am having call quality issues. I show 3 or 4 bars but EVERYONE I talk to says I sound gargly and I get texts returned saying failed to send. Some go some do not. Obviously the radio has issues. Is there a fix for this or should I flash a new rom? HELP!?!:eek:
[General Questions and Answers] Dark lord me:
Well the first thing you should do is go the the Skyrocket forums and ask your question there. You will be far more likely to find your answer there
[General Questions and Answers] Firik:
Has it been doing that ever since you got it? If so you might want to try calling tech support and see if they can update your phone settings to ur local network. You could also try a custom rom to see if that might change your radio or something. There is an official ICS leak you might want to try. But there is other custom roms that are based of a stock skyrocket rom.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Man.....I am so sorry.

I have never seen such a well documented OP...

Congrats on that first!!

I really am at a loss as to what to suggest, as you have covered so many bases yourself.

Just to me, looking again at your post, I don't really think those .ogg files have anything to do with it.

It seems your problems originated with flashing the Kezra Custom ROM.

To lose your Recovery Partition must mean some data corruption introduced by the flashing process.

I know you have flashed stock with ODIN, this was One Package??

I am not sure, but I think there may be Stock ROM which has seperate files.......???

It is just a suggestion, perhaps someone else may know.....

At least this will bump your post!!!

All I can say further is best of luck....hope it can be solved.

Also, there also is return for repair to Sammy.....as we say in Ireland.... Play the eejit!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jbs.sc:
Thanks Irish for taking your time to reply.

Well... yes i did my best to make the post as much descriptive as possible due to the nature of the issue itself.

When it comes to ODIN it was one file only. I didn't try with multiple files.

I don't think that ogg files itself are the source of all that mess. On the other hand i wouldn't blame Kezra rom.

As you noticed i tried to track down the time and place when it happend and how it all started.

It may be a coincidence but i suspect that "ogg glitch" (keep in mind that was the very first fail reboot and system crash of my phony since i bought it) has something to do with it. Why? All the settings, apps etc. in the phone are as they were set on Wednesday 28.03 including Alarm set to 8:00am. Same day "ogg glitch" occurred. Betwene Wednesday and Now no flashing has been done except all the mentioned steps (failed) that i have taken in order to restore my phone. Every time i reboot the phone, all the setting, apps etc. are being reverted to the state from before "ogg glitch"

Another thing is the message given by superuser while trying to update su binary. "Some kind of write protection like S-ON". (at this point i didn't have time to do a in depth search on "S-ON")

Now... i am not an expert but it makes me wonder... is it?

- internal phone memory (the chip itself) is corrupted or damaged

- the file system of internal memory is corupted

- system partition is corupted

- there is an issue with root access and permissions

- while copying ogg files to /system/... i made a mistake at some point and set wrong mount rw/ro and wrong permissions

- is such thing as "recovery loop" possible - after every each reboot the phone is "restored" to the state from before "ogg glitch"

When it comes to return to Samsung... The phone is not only working but is rooted, has a custom rom... She is not a VIRGIN mate.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Sorry, I didn't mean to say that Kezra's ROM is at fault......phew...nearly got into trouble there.

I meant that during the flash of the ROM, there may have been an event, loss of power??? which has caused corruption of the Partition system on your phone??

I know there is no locked Bootloader on our phone, which is what s-on indicates....usually HTC phones have/had this....hence problems with flashing Custom ROM's Recovery......

Somehow, your phone has got into a state which mimics locked bootloader, has to be corruption, IMO.

If you can locate ODIN files to flash separately, maybe will work, but I'm not sure..

As for returning to Samsung......

there is a thread here somewhere, Rio Saputro, where Sammy has accepted phones with boot-loops back for repair, due to hardware issues, so I am not sure haw much checking they do!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jbs.sc:
I can still access download mode but i think i wont be able to flash anything.

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GTI8150

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT KERNEL: UNKNOWN !!

Irish would You be so kind and compare that info with your downlod mode please?

Otherwise i think i will have to return my W to Samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] alidsd:
Don't worry, your phone is not bricked.. Just download the Asian firmware from the development thread (it will have multiple files inside the package) and flash it through Odin (look for flashing process for multiple file package), you will be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jbs.sc:
I have already tried multi part asian firmware provided by THE-E.

Same thing as with one file firmware.

With auto reboot phone just turns off and doesn't turn on.

Without auto reboot... well it just stays on and that's it.

After manual reboot i am back to the old rom.

I am using odin 4.43

Should i try other versions?

I do have factory gurantee on my phone till 2013 and if they won't accept it...

oh well s*** happens... not for the first nor the last time in my life. There is no fun of modding without a risk.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Hi friend.....

Not sure what your current state of play is, but my download mode was exactly as you have quoted above.

see this from last Christmas,

when I was in despair.....symptoms very similar to what you have now, after failed ODIN flash....I had no recovery and my phone would not boot, just download mode, as you have above.

However, I solved it pretty easily, after modifying my ODIN settings.

Unfortunately THE-E's instructions said "unmark Auto Reboot"......which is not correct.....

this meant the Flash never completed.......

See here for my celebratory post, much relieved...

This was very much like your recent experience.

I think there may be some hope/help for you there!!!!

Let me know......bast of luck......;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jbs.sc:
Irish,

I did try with auto reboot marked. When ODIN starts the procedure of auto reboot the phone turns off but it doesn't turn on. ODIN waits for the phone till the flashing is completed and says PASS but the phone stays turned off anyway.

Btw. Perhaps i should use KIES to try to update and brick my phone.

I would have a valid reason to claim warranty:p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
OK.....I think that was my last shot......I am out of ideas!!!

Maybe post screen shot of ODIN procedure if you can??

I can't remember how my phone reacted after PASS and Reboot, but that doesn't sound right.......

Can you post the ODIN Message output.....just so ppl can compare and perhaps help.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jbs.sc:
OK i tried to flash it again just to take screenshots. And again same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
OK.....just have a look at my thread here.......

which is a pdf of the Service manual I "procured" :p

There is something there about ODIN, which Samsung use as well....

I just noticed a little thing when using multiple files.....

they have also set the " Reset Time = 300" for their Flash.......

P.21....or [6 Level 1 Repair]........

the pdf files are a little out of sequence!!!!

Also, try flash without SD or SIM card inserted.....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jbs.sc:
Irish,

Just to let you know. I did what you suggested.

Flashing with timer, without sim card and without external memory did't help.

As far as i remember someone had similar problem, unfortunately solution was never found.

I think when it comes to ODIN i run out of options.

Thanks for all the help and assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
OK......out of suggestions here!!

It is just such a pity.....

download mode normally means "no brick-can flash"

Sorry we could not fix.....next move?? Sammy??

Best of luck anyway!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pemati:
Did you try to flash only boot img? Not sure if that's possible but it looks like your boot is messed up.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jbs.sc:
I dont think it makes any difference what am i flashing.

Whether it is software or hardware problem it prevents phone from auto rebooting (and applying any changes made during flashing process)

Not only during ODIN auto reboot but also from download mode reboot (once in download mode you can press volume down button to reboot phone)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pemati:
Just thinking if you try to do it part by part and not whole firmware in 1 go. But if you manage reflash image boot hope you should by fine ;)
