Luckly, if windows doesn't recognize your device while in fastboot it isn't because you don't have a OS installes but because not correctly set up drivers.

I posted a link some posta ago about a toolkit:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015469

When opening the program at the top there is a button called full driver installation, press it and follow the instructions.

This is what you should do when you are updating the drivers, its imperative you get those drivers working. Otherwise, you won't get access to fastboot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] failly:
Oh I would recommend using a Windows 7 PC.

Windows 8 can also do the trick but you maybe need to disable driver signature enforcement, so you better go with windows 7 for now.

Status Update:

I had spent a whole day reformatting my Windows 7 machine and am back at it. I have made a bit more progress than before.

1) After typing in fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img in command prompt, under the "List of devices attached" it is blank (i.e. there is no device attached). http://i.imgur.com/TnyBCKS.png

2) I have successfully installed the usb driver on my PC the first time when the only explanation mark was titled "Android", however the only Android option at the moment now is labelled "Android Bootloader Interface". No such thing as ADB (or any variations including Android ADB Interface) exists.

3) In TWRP Recovery mode, I see an exclamation mark titled mako but I believe that is irrelevant. I have tried installing the drivers to this just in case but failed. I then tried it again in Bootloader mode and mako is gone and Android Device pops up again with "Android Bootloader Interface"

4) I have tried restarting my PC and repeating the above steps.

Edit:

5) The only time I see an Android Composite ADB Interfaces is when I boot normally to the "Google" screen. However, I cannot move any of my ROMS over into my phone. When I typed "adb devices" it shows a bunch of characters with offline beside it. I do not have any options to reinstall any drivers for this.

From my understanding,I should be able to access the Android Composite ADB Interface while in recovery mode, which should let me transfer my ROMs over... but the issue is I cannot access Android Composite ADB Interface while in recovery mode.

Also, is there any reason why I shouldn't use the official JB 4.3 img as the ROM I want to install on my phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre_Vitto:
Well firstly what you installed "Matrix" is a kernel and not rom.. and if you can get in recovery just flash a 4.2 based kernel..

opps did not read thru the page 2.. I hope you will get it working.. I will keep a watch on this thread and help you with any info that i might add..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wammie:
Well, good news! You've got your computer to recognize your device with fastboot, that's a huge progress already. Regarding your question, I suppose you could also flash the stock Android 4.3 images through fastboot without problems, can't really help you there though; as I have never done that, though I suppose its got to be rather easy and just typing a few commands. After you're done getting your device fixed by flashing the stock Android, you could mount the device to your PC and copy the ROMs if you want to try the custom roms later on.

As for getting ADB to work (which in my case is easier), your device manager says Mako with an "!", that means that you only have to update the drivers again the same way you did it before, and with a little tinkering here and there, you should be able to find the "Google ADB interface" or "Android ADB Interface" or "Android Composite ADB" or whatever it is that is related to ADB so you can push files to your phone's memory.

I really hope you've fixed this already though, its been a few days, I know it's tough amassing all these bits of information but getting your phone back online shouldn't be impossible, all you need is a little bit more patience.

I'm digging your updates, keep it up :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pooq:
I love how helpful and supportive everyone in this thread has been.

However, I am embarrassed to admit that I still am at a loss after a few hours of playing around. Most of the research I've done was with respect to how to install the drivers for my phone so that I can be the ADB interface while in bootloader. My choice of research is based on your lead on the next steps I should take (which was to get the drivers working on my phone). Here is what I've tried so far:

1) Reinstalled SDK on my computer and changed the path following the same guide as before (http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/)

2) Typed adb device in cmd while in bootloader, again no change.

- Under "List of devices attached" there is nothing.

- Under device manager it still shows as Android Bootloader Interface

3) Typed adb device in cmd while powered into the "Google" screen.

- Under "List of devices attached" it shows my phone is detected, but this time beside it it says unauthorized instead of offline.

- Under device manager it still shows as Android Composite ADB Interface.

4) Under recovery mode, device manager still shows Mako!

So basically, I am still stuck as the guide I linked suggested that installing sdk (specifically for adb and fastboot) would allow me to install the drivers on my phone. My usb drivers are indeed able to recognize my phone as shown under 3), however, I am still unable to transfer any files to my phone as theoretically I am missing drivers for my phone.

If I got that wrong, please feel free to correct me as it will give me more leads to fix my phone! If not, I would love some guidance on what to do as to be honest I am not sure what commands I should type to even install the drivers (and which mode). I personally was going to experiment but to be honest I was afraid I'd screw my phone up any further.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wammie:
Okay, let's throw the towel on using ADB and focus on fastboot, since it's the only one you've got working.

I'll refer you to this thread so that you can get your Phone up and running again with the stock rom using fastboot commands, read it thoroughly though.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pooq:
Hi wammie, I am writing to let you know I have gotten my phone up and running properly again. To be honest, that last link you posted was the 8th time I had visited that guide. But being me, I tried it out again with the new knowledge I had acquired from you guys. :)

I want to credit failly for recommending me to use Windows 7 as I (think) it reduced the steps in fixing the problem. I also want to credit you for that nice guide you wrote for me as it was incredibly helpful. To be honest, I wouldn't have fixed it (on my last try) if you hadn't taught me that you can choose a specific folder using cmd (the cd: C:\).

I think part of the reason why I was unable to fix it was because in efrant's guide (radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img) he did not update the file names in his guide with respect to the new files he updated in his guide. I think this was the reason why I winded up using the toolkit instead because I gave up because I couldn't seem the drivers/fastboot to detect my phone. I think part of the reason is because in the guide the file name was outdated (due to the new uploaded files).

For some reason, I am unable to PM efrant about this change. So if someone can PM him regarding this issue for me instead, I would appreciate that as I am sure it will help future people who are looking to unlock their phones as I did.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danjng:
So I was wondering if anyone else had run into the same issue or has found a resolution. I haven't seen too many others post about this but perhaps some of you knowledgeable folks can shed some light.

I've made nandroid backups using TWRP in the past and they worked out just fine. I've also used Titanium Backup in the past to extract some apps from the nandroid. Now it's been about 8 months since I've had to do any sort of clean install or restore (Shiny 4.2.2 has treated me very well). I tried to extract apps from my nandroid this morning and they're showing up empty. On a side note, the files are a few gigs total which is as expected.

I can probably find another app to open the backups, but I'd rather see if there was a solution for this.

If anyone has any info or can assist, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ottomatictom:
Hey guys, I was wanted to root my gs3 using this guide [GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA ***UPDATED 5/29*** - xda-developers but for step 6 where you flash the bootchain the only bootchain versions offered are for 4.1.2 are VRBMB1 and VRBMD3. I have Verizon and have baseband version VRBMF1. I know that that step is optional but how important is it? After rooting I am wanting to flash to an aosp 4.2.2 rom or a cyanogenmod 10.1 rom. Will I still be able to do this if I don't restore the bootchain? Also on an unrelated question , i know that the stock android camera doesnt have the option to save pictures to the sd card, Will I be able to do this on a stock android rom? Thank you all for your help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Not very important to flash the bootchain at all. Yes, you can flash whatever rom, kernel, or mod regardless of your bootchain's status.

Not sure I understand your question cuz you used the phrase "stock android rom" as a comparison to itself. Do you mean "I know stock android (per a Nexus device) does not have an option to save to external sdcard so does AOSP on the GSIII have this option by default?" If you meant this, I don't believe JB 4.3 roms on our device support it natively. I'm not sure about JB 4.2.2 roms. For example, I've been using Slim Bean beta (AOSP 4.3) since Saturday and there's no setting to save to external sdcard cuz it uses the 4.3 camera. I imagine more of AOSP is like this. More responses will be helpful.

I just installed the latest Paranoid android on my Galaxy s4 i9505 and when I changed the hybrid options, the notification bar slightly overlaps everything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Ok so the problem is, when I choose the Phone UI there's a little bar between the apps and the notificationbar. And if I choose auto or phablet or tablet UI the notification bar is overlapped and covers the top of everything.
[LG Optimus G Pro] prabhjeet.oberoi:
Problem:

The speeds which I get over 3g are ridiculous!! can hardly access any website, everything keeps timing out !!

I can't even download a 300 Kb File !!

Be it over Google play or any other download using the browser, I just can't download Anything.

The download starts..downloading on the notification bar..after waiting for a couple of minutes, it times out ??

Is anybody else facing this problem??

Has it got something to do with the E-988 model ??

Tries:

1.Tried switching carriers(3 different ones)>>same issue with everyone of them

2. Used the 3g/4g optimizer app along with the 3g tweak script by Zepplinrox>>NO effect

3. Tried to find a copy so that i can flash a new radio for my E-988>>couldn't find one

4. Tried using GetRIL but it said my phone is not supported.

There is Absolutely no problem with either downloading/internet access while I am using WIFI, but as soon as I switch to data, it just dies out:(:(:(

Any solutions/suggestions would help out a lot..

>>Took my phone down to LG service center, they said it works just fine:laugh::laugh:<<
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
Numerous factors depict whether or not you get a good speed when it comes to data. Location, congestion, company and location again.
[LG Optimus G Pro] prabhjeet.oberoi:
Agreed man..but still, No 3G is that bad that you can't download a freaking 300 Kb file..

I assume that the radio is messed up..

waiting for someone to post native radios for Asia region..flash & try them out..
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Make sure you are using the correct APN`s

It might be a good while before those modems are posted things seem slow around here. Make sure you are actually on 3G as it says 3G at the top and not 2G/E right?
[LG Optimus G Pro] cacingbesar:
I use E988 too....and have no 3G problem so far.....
[LG Optimus G Pro] prabhjeet.oberoi:
APN is correct for every SIM. The problem doesn't seem to be with the provider, its either a hardware issue or maybe a software issue.

I have 3 GSM micro SIMs from 3 different providers..

The GSM signal keeps fluctuating..1 bar to 5 bars(no issue with audio quality though).

Never ever seen a 3G icon on the phone, hardly get a HSDPA(H).

>>Googled stuff and tried to Force my phone to WCDMA only, started having network issues..

>>checked ur stuff on build.prop edit as well..tried that..Didn't help..

>>Have a HTC One X as well, 3G works like a charm on that..
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
It would have to be hardware. If it was software everyone else would be having the issue
[LG Optimus G Pro] prabhjeet.oberoi:
Thats the thing..I took it over to LG service center. They kept it over the weekend and said there was absolutely nothing wrong with the hardware !!

I told them it could be an issue with the receiver antenna (read it somewhere).

They said if that was the case then WIFI would be affected as well (which isn't).

I'm still confused.

Thanks for the input thiough..

will post if there is Any improvement.
[LG Optimus G Pro] croatian sensation:
same problem on f240s. wifi speed and stability is great, but mobile data is just way too slow.. i cant figure it out..

im usually stuck on "g", dont think i ever saw "3g" there.. the only thing that i think could be the problem is the 1900mhz frequency that my model doesnt have, but it has the 2100mhz frequency that my operator uses along with the 1900mhz frequency..

is there any way to resolve this? i saw some ways to convert the phone to e988. would thet help? i tried to alter things in the secret menu, but no luck. no setting worked except automatic..

Hi, I have a bricked Galaxy S3 to fix here.

I generally install ROMs for people, so this one guy came by and said he tried changing his GS3 (i9300) to Cyanogen Mod, but it bricked it

I don't know when nor how he did it, the guy doesn't even know what happened because he left it flashing and went somewhere else

According to him, he used odin, doesn't know wich version of CM he installed, he only knew he installed a CM based ROM using Odin and it doesn't work anymore

Here's what i already know and tried

- The Phone won't power for more than 30 seconds on battery

- If I remove the battery and keep it usb, the phone keeps up in Download Mode

- Can't enter any recovery, tried flashing : Stock Recovery, TWRP, CWM and none worked, all of them show up and the phone reboots

- Tried doing the same thing i did on the download mode, but in recovery. It shuts down anyway,

- Tried leaving the phone without battery for a whole day and nothing changed!

Hey guys :)

First of all I changed my rom from ARHD to Viper 2.0 and updated it than to Viper 2.1

but i just got a problem with the hardware volume Keys ...

I tried a full factory wipe with reeinstalling the viper rom and everything, but it's still there!

The Problem:

When I play music on my HTC music player the hardware volume keys don't work at several times on Standby Mod!

It'll work as long as the display is on, but won't when it's on standby. But this isn't any time; when you pushed like 10 or 20 times it'll work again for a little time intervall.

I really don't know what to about it ..

I'd appriciate an answer :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gracefully_dead:
So, this thing drives me crazy...I've tried everything I knew and still nothing solved this problem.

I'm using HTC One. About 10 days ago weird things with touch started to happen. It seems that touch is partly unavailable/unresponsible on touch in one or two small areas. It seems to me like theres an empty place on my touch. Visualy is everything fine. Screen is crystal clear and has no damages or scratches. But I can't slide icons without troubles. Somwhere on 1/4 of screen, touch brakes briefly and I need another try to slide the icon. The same thing happens with status bar on the top of screen - I can slide it until that 1/4 part and it stops there and goes back. If I slide it quick with short move, it works fine, just slide alone over problematic area.

Also, few times I had that problem where screen works things on itself will. Makes pictures, or adds filters on Instagram, or, I don't know, just jumps around for few secons. Then, I lock the screen, then unlock it and usually that calm down the screen.

Also weird thing is that, when I want to send message, I can't reach "send" button in first try. I have to drop down writing sheet, than to touch the letters to put it in writing mode again, and then I can click the "send" button. On the same place where it was previously!

At first, I thought that plastic case or PVC protection is the problem, so I took off the protector from the screen. That solved problem for a bit. Then, I put back screen guard, and problem came back. After I totally rejected screen guard, problem is still here. I've tried to reset phone on factory, but that wasn't helpfull...

I forgot to state that I'm using Android 4.2.2 and this started to happen after that version update. I had no problem before.

So, now I'm here, as I don't know what else to do before I take this beauty to service. I just hope that this happens because of software bugs :crying:

Is there anyone who could help me? Have similar problem or know how to fix this?

In the meantime, I'll just hope that 4.3 will fix it themself... :fingers-crossed::o
