[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1iam5mith:
This may be a stupid question, but is there a way to burn a CD from the nexus 7 using a USB DVD writer via OTG cable? And is there a app to do it with? Preferably without having to root it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
I'm going to throw out a WAG and say no. OTG doesn't work without rooting.

You can connect to certain cameras and camera storage on other phones without rooting but I seriously doubt you could do it with a DVD drive. You would definitely need an app because your N7 isn't going to have the drivers to control the drive otherwise. I tried connecting an external DVD drive via OTG just to see what would happen and it would not recognize it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Lacking drivers for one. Also software.

Reading a disc would be the first step... however it maybe the first step to a full android laptop.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
I wanted to test jellybean but as my WIFI was working slow, I had to download a custom rom for updating to jellybean. How can I flash back to the original samsung stock ICS for my phone? I forgot to back up the stock ics before flashing the custom rom. Please help

Also how can I copy titanium backup files to my pc? I tried copying the folder but only 2-3 files are copied but not all of the files were copied. Is there any software for this purpose?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
Bump! Need a fast reply!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Google Factory images

You can use adb pull to move files to the PC or an app such as airdroidor Dropbox sync in TB (Pro)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
Can we use root explorer to copy the entire folder?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
My build no was ICL53F, its not listed under the Nexus Factory Images. What to do? :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Which phone do you have? I'm guessing you have a yakjuxx variant which is managed by Samsung, not Google. You can search in the Dev section for something. (I found this)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
The build no was ICL53F, the factory unlocked GSM version. How to know if I have a yakju or maguro?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Yakju = international GSM gnex, Takju is the Play Store Model (Same hardware) Maguro = both yakju & takju. If you have a yakju device you would have reciedved the OTA updates to 4.0.4 (IMM76I) & then 4.1.1 (JRO03C).

GSM/HSPA+ Models

takju - USA region- and carrier-independent firmware released on models sold in the USA through the Google Play Store

yakju - International region- and carrier-independent firmware released on models sold throughout western Europe.

yakjudv - Variant for Australia

yakjujp - Variant for the Middle East

yakjukr - Variant for South Korea

yakjusc - Variant for Japan

yakjuux - Variant for Canada

yakjuvs - Variant for Brazil

yakjuxe - Variant for Russia and the former Eastern Bloc

yakjuxw - Variant for certain carriers in Western Europe

yakjuzs - Variant for China and Hong Kong
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Step by step instructions here, including links to all older yakju builds.

Have a read of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
That ROM isn't working. "Installation aborted" when tried flashing through CWM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Did you ...

- Unzip this into /sdcard/clockworkmod

- Boot into CWM recovery and restore this backup

per the instuctions or are you trying to flash this viathe install zip option in CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Before you get it working, I hope you do realize that that is a yakjuux ROM, i.e., a Canadian build version...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
I already had a Nandroid backup which I successfully flashed using CWM to stock ICL53F 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
This is the build which I have-

Now which version is this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Going by the I515 Baseband I would say that's a Verizon phone (Is Verizon your carrier). You could still flash the "mysid" 4.0.4 (IMM76K) factory image & it would be stock or you could search in the Verizon development section for something older.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You have a Verizon device... You need the mysid images from the link I provided earlier.

EDIT: Ninja'd by 3rdstring :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Was the gsm 4.0.1 the same build number?

Seems to me he just posted a pic from the web and not his actual device. We don't want him flashing mysid if that's the case...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, now that I had another look, there's something wrong with that image. ICL53F is 4.0.2, not 4.0.1. Something doesn't jive.

And yes, the build numbers for yakju and mysid are generally the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
That's the screenshot from the ebay listing, where I got my phone from. And my phone isn't verizon, its factory unlocked. I'll give you guys a screenshot from the stock nandroid backup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
uh dude that baseband is a verizon baseband
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Now that makes sense. You are running yakjuxw ICL53F
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
So Yakjuxw didn't get jellybean yet? Where can I find the factory image for my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
The hardware is the same on all GSM variants. You can flash the yakju Google image & get stock JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You are confusing the build you are running with the type of device you have. You have a maguro device, so you can run any ROM made for maguro, including stock JB from Google. You just happen to be running an older stock ICS ROM. See the flash link in my sig to flash the official stock JRO03C Jelly Bean ROM.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteSeiler2010:
I had to do the UnbrickableMod on my Captivate. That went perfectly, however, a couple days afterwards my screen turned to this. The color is like this from boot, even the AT&T animation has this color. I tried flashing to stock with Odin and doing a master clear, that didn't help. Anyone have any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Shoot, I have no clue.... :banghead:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Not knowing fully the internals of the Captivate, is it possible that the cable that connects the screen to the motherboard isn't attached fully? Your picture looks similar to what happens when a component video cable doesn't have one of its plugs in all the way.

Thinking back to my old 8525, it had a ribbon cable that was directly under the directional pad. After a while, it would come loose and make the screen go all white, looking similar to yours prior to doing that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteSeiler2010:
Ill check that out, I'm pretty sure all the cable are tight. Thanks for the idea!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteSeiler2010:
Nope, I tore it completely apart again. It still looks the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KingVeto:
Since unlocking my bootloader I've been receiving strange text messages from "6250" that say "VZWNMN:1" I've received at least 6 of these and they seem to occur randomly....anyone know what this is?? I'd really appreciate the help. It's kinda creeping me out a bit....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
you running CM or AOKP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arrogantS3:
..

it does not matter what you are running, sign into your verizon wireless account and disable cloud storage settings and email backup and you won't receive anymore messages : )

ps. don't let them worry you either I was receiving them upon my first day of activation way before the bootloader unlock ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
no it doesnt matter but you see it more with cm & aokp ....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arrogantS3:
hmmm I didn't know that would even influence it, but thanks for the info
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edif30:
why?

Is there a particular reason why this happens???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Volknochi:
Okay, this is the second time this error has popped up and it's starting to get on my nerves. Anytime I plug my phone into ANY USB port, and this is counting both 2.0 and 3.0 ports, I get the error bubble: Hardware ID Missing. Windows cannot identify the device plugged into the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device." Honestly, this is beyond irritating.

For one, I am not going to reinstall Windows 7. That's too much hassle for this. Second, ever since someone plugged their Droid into my USB cable so they could charge up their phone, this message started appearing. I tried to reinstall drivers (Samsung driver exe said it couldn't install), uninstall, disable, etc etc, but finally managed to get the damn computer to read it when I stuck it in the 3.0 USB port. Now, just 10 minutes ago, I plug the phone in, I get that error, on a 3.0 USB port.

So, now I have no idea what is going on, nor how to fix it. I've tried searching, but there are no answers. Or, the possible "solutions" don't even work even remotely close.

I could really use some help on this. And, again, please do not mention "Reinstall Windows". That's just too much of a hassle and I'm not going to do that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtrezpasor:
You may not want to try this either but try a system restore

Sent from my SPH-L710...if some one helps you press the thanks button
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billbrasky82:
I had the same issue what ended up fixing it for me was watching when I plugged the phone in after a clean driver install and stopping Windows from downloading and installing an updated driver. Dont know if its the same for you but that fixed it for me. I was really frustrated by it and found no help either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
probably an easy fix

definitely don't need to reinstall windows or do a restore. But just to be sure, you don't have kies installed right? Seems to cause problems.if there's no kies installed, go into the device manager and find your phone whatever it's listed as right click and uninstall. Check the little box that says, "delete the driver software for this device". do this for any devices relating to yours. Including the stuff under modems,ports,USB controllers.and tick that box that delete driver software for this device every time you uninstall something. Now, not saying it's necessary but wouldnt hurt, reboot the pc. Then with your phone unplugged, reinstall the Samsung drivers for the phone. Now to make sure windows doesn't DL its own drivers,disconnect from the internet and plug the phone back in. Should be all good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Volknochi:
I won't do a system restore, that won't do anything. Not to mention it would erase some programs that were installed (not related to phone). So, not doing that. Also, my computer will not automatically update any drivers or any thing else, as I have it set to manual mode.

And, I do not have Kies installed. It never worked for me properly, when it came to driver installation. I've done the "go into device manager" bit many times before, it still likes to play the "Hardware ID doesn't match" card. Drivers won't install either. I don't know what it is, but damn this is the most stubborn thing I've ever encountered.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] khanguyen519:
i've post this in other forums today. what i do to get it working is i toggle USB debugging and try it out, then start toggling the ptp and mtp until it works. the combo that works for me is turn on debug, plug in computer, unplug, turn off debug, plug in. if it doesnt work then i toggle back and forth MTP and PTP. 5 tries at most, for me. Also, i did a nandroid back to my oem ICS that was 2 weeks old and just rooted. the problem is worse there. i'm using freegsmr6 with trinity kernel on Tmo. hope it helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SteVoUniT:
Ditto

Yeah that whole "Hardware ID missing" was an irritating situation. This is what I recommend as far as making it work.

1. Plug in.

2. When you get the error message, I think its because of a conflict with the ADB interface. Go to Settings, Developer Options, and check off USB Debugging.

3. Plug in once again and it should work. If not, try toggling between Camera and MTP.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate and it works fine for me :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] griever07:
I always get that error as well with my SGS 3. I have to reinstall Kies everytime it does that which is annoying.. ANyone has a permanent solution about this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfeyes30:
Fix for me was...

1-plug in phone. Get the hardware ID message. Leave phone plugged in.

2- open device manager. Click on. Android Phone and Uninstall Samsung Android ADB Interface. Also check the "delete software driver" when the dialog box shows.

3-still in device manager. Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Uninstall Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device.

4-unplug phone.

5-reboot pc.

6-install SAMSUNG USB drivers from their site or from here

http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.html?m=1

7-reboot or not. Plug in phone.

This worked for me and no issues for the last 6 days. YMMV..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nyunyu:
this works!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dito33:
But why this problem now out of nowhere when everything worked fine before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacos:
Hardware ID missing - SOLVED!!

1. Uninstall any previous instance of Kies/USB driver

2. Download the latest Kies, specific to your S3.

3. Download Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 (I've tried newer versions but they all failed)

4. REBOOT

5. Disconnect from internet (VERY IMPORTANT!!! - forcing Windows to install local drivers ONLY)

6. With the phone disconnected, install Kies + USB drivers downloaded in steps 2,3

7. Connect the phone and let Windows install the drivers.

8. Reestablish the internet connection.

I've done just that, I've connected my S3 to the PC several times, I've also rebooted twice and I've never seen that stupid message again - while of course everything works as expected.

:good::good:4 days later, several times rebooted (phone and PC), several connections with Kies and I have NEVER seen that error again - it works!!

UPDATE!! (Oct.11.2012)

After a few Kies updates and going through various ROM's:

- the procedure listed above works 100% but a few steps are just not needed (redundant) - see bellow

- the problem is mostly caused by Windows "forcefully" trying to install its own drivers, rather than allowing Samsung's suggested.

- Samsung's fault is providing "updated" drivers that don't always work (hence, use the suggested 1.4.6.0 drivers)

- Following EVERY Kies update, DISCONNECT from internet before plugging your phone (otherwise you'll have to go through this, AGAIN).

Some suggested here that plugging the phone into a different USB port (without disconnecting from internet) would be the culprit - which

happens

to be true, but as a mere effect, not the cause: every time an unknown device is plugged into a different USB port, Windows is trying to download/install the appropriate drivers if it doesn't recognize the hardware - and there you are again.

So, the simplified procedure becomes:

1. Not needed - leave Kies installed, as is - no harm at all

2. N/A

3. YES

4. Not (always) required

5. MUST

6. MUST

7. MUST

8. Yes

Furthermore, if still interested in connecting your I747(M) as UMS (USB mass storage) the solution presented here works. I tested it myself - read my comment on this post for the very few existing hiccups.

- while installing the USB mass storage device drivers you don't have to disconnect from the internet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tyler1037:
Install Drivers

Have you tried just installing the drivers directly from Samsung? That is all I did when I had problems and it worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacos:
For someone experiencing the "hardware ID missing" error, just reinstalling the drivers won't do anything. Like many others, I've been banging my head trying to solve this for quite some time; the suggested steps are truly a compilation of successful ideas and trials mingled with tons of frustration, coming from my own experience as well as from many different people and forums.

If, on the other hand, you had a different type of connectivity issues - without this error, then, yes, reinstalling the drivers is Samsung's recommendation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Just wanted to say thank you. Did this and the last 2 days, works everytime. I made sure that after the first time I plugged the phone in after doing all this, and the screen pops up asking what I wanted to do, made sure to check the box for "do this everytime" and then choose the view folder option or whatever that is.

Thank you again,

Whiteice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adamspud:
One thing I have tried which might help others - I had the Android Developers toolkit installed on my machine, which I've removed and I also removed the HTC Sync software which was for my old desire.

Rebooted, installed the SG Toolkit (can't remember which post I found it in) and then chose option one after selecting firmware to install drivers.

I cancelled the "Windows Updates" bit of the driver detection and it found the first item, and had "item disconnected" for the remaining three.

Unplugged and plugged back in and voila it works.

This worked for approx 5 mins and then stopped, however I did all the above with debugging on, debugging is now off and all seems well (touch wood). However looking at putting on a different kernal to expose storage as mass storage and also get around cifs issues.

Hope this helps someone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vanessaem:
Thank you so much for this. This solution worked for me. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wingchundub:
Thanks for this i will try it tomorrow as still new to these tabs.

For moment i change to camera PTP and it pops up, so at least i can use it for now.

Will let you know how i get on.

Best wishes :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacos:
The Android Developers toolkit DOES install the USB drivers 1.4.6.0 - which seems to be the ONLY one that works, BUT the rest of the steps suggested in my previous post are needed in order to get rid of the problem - otherwise the fix is just temporary.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cowoholy:
Re-loading OS drivers corrected issue.

I removed the updates to Kies on my Note and uninstalled the Kies update on the PC which is what started this issue of the OS not recognizing the device and then a fresh driver load for my phone from the Samsung site. Worked Perfectly, Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Volknochi:
This didn't work for me. :( I still get the error message, plus my computer (Win7 64 Ultimate) keeps saying it fails to install the Samsung drivers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] desucca:
please pardon my ignorance, but I've searched on samsung's rather non search friendly site, and I can't locate these older drivers specifically, and googling them turns up links to urls I really hesitate to download and run anything from. could you direct me to where I might find the 1.4.6.0 drivers?

I've had this issue since I got the phone a couple weeks ago, and while it works sometimes when I reboot and plug into different usb ports, it does get a little tiresome :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacos:
Follow the suggested steps EXACTLY - it works! Most likely you didn't disconnect from the internet before proceeding with the drivers installation.

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

Install the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 SNAPDRAGON TOOLKIT V2.3!

Even if you don't need the whole toolkit, it all starts with installing Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0. Follow EXACTLY my instructions - it should work.

Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

so far, so good.. thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kchiman:

but i cannot connect to kies

It just keep connecting and lastly after around 5 - 10 minutes, KIES show "device not responding... please reboot the device."
