There is a thread in the general forum about this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2391616

Make sure the card is in properly too...maybe remove and reinsert it a few times. Most likely it is the recovery. Read the post above and see if that helps.

One more quick question: Now, when trying to install CM10.2 (Android 4.3), it keeps getting stuck on the first boot. I've tried different images, wiping cache/dalvik, factory resets, etc... Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
It is a bug of the new recoveries...they won't flash most aosp roms. Touchwiz will be fine, but roms like cm have issues. Maybe try 10.1 if you want cm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zenno:
Ah, damn... Well thank you very much for your help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
It's not really a bug with the recoveries which where modded. It's part of whatever Samsung has done to keep people from rooting and flashing roms.

The recovery where modded to allow storage to mount. But unfortunately none of the developers for the recoveries has one of these new devices in order to figure out what's going on

Does anyone know a way to have Dropbox synced with your Samsung account without using internal memory. I like being able to select gallery and see the Dropbox pics there instead of having to go to the Dropbox app everytime. When I look on my S4 gallery, all of my Dropbox pics are shown. When you go to storage on the Note, gigabytes of data are taken up by the Cloud. Please help if anyone knows!!

We have a 3com wireless router at home. The laptop downstairs connects to it through a PCMCIA wireless adapter. My phone also connects to it fine, no probs at all.

However, we have a pc upstairs with no wireless on it at all. I have been told that I can use the phone to "simulate" a wireless connection to the router through its USB connection. I have tried this using the program Wireless Modem on the phone but to no avail. Windows XP keeps looking for a driver that a dont have and is not supplies on the CD that comes with the phone. Any ideas where I can get this driver from, or am I doing this just completely wrong...... :roll:

Thanks

Ive just got myself in the same situation. I have the XDA2i connected to my WIFI router fine, I can go on the WWW. Im now need to get my laptop into the loft where Im doing some work on an iriver H10 20gb (trying to construct a connection box as they arn't available until Sept!!!) I need the net access to look up pinouts on chips. I don't have a WIFI card for the laptop yet (should be here soon as on back order :evil: )

SO I want to use the PDA as a wifi card for my laptop through the usb port. How do i get the laptop to see the PDA as a network card and configured for this operation??

[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
I installed the custom ADB drivers from this site, I then booted my Shield and am stuck on the command prompt screen as it says

<waiting for devices> when I try to install the thor.img

The Shield is unlocked and the usb debugging option is on.

Cannot work out what the issue is.

looking under device manager it shows up under Android Device as Nvidia Shield ADB but it also shows up under portable devices as SHIELD.

Whilst in boot mode the device only shows up in portable devices with a exclamation mark next to the device.

*UPDATE*

Ok so I uninstalled my drivers to start again, plugged in the shield and it reinstalled my drivers and now under Android Devices it shows NVIDIA SHIELD ADB

Result!

Now I opened the dab cmd prompt

typed in

adb reboot fastboot

and it booted my shield! jolly good

But then I typed in

fastboot boot thor-insecure-boot.img

I then had

<waiting for device>

show up in the command window.

This is where it stayed.

On the screen of my shield I have options:

continue

restart bootloader

recovery mode

poweroff

I uninstalled the portable device driver because I think it may have been causing confusion.

I then typed adb devices into CMD and a list of devices showed the serial number of the nvidia Shield.

I then typed in adb reboot bootloader in and it booted.

I then tried adb devices again and nothing showed up.

When I go into bootloader The Android Device: Nvidia Shield ADB driver disappears in manager once I go into bootloader mode. Is this normal?

Hmmmmmmm

definetly something to do with the drivers.

I'm on windows 7 64bit by the way.

Going back into device manager I noticed that there is another device under Other devices, upon looking at it it is Fastboot and has an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle next to it (Minimal dab and fast boot is open though).

Such a bummer as I'm so close yet so far
[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
pictures

These are the pictures of the command promt when it is in boot mode, unboot mode and the devices installed.

When I go into boot mode on the shield the device called Nvidia Shield ADB dissappears from the computer manager window and the fastboot device has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to it.

Very odd.
[Shield Q&A] SixSixSevenSeven:
Yellow triangle means driver or device error (either one). The rest you have reached the limits of my knowledge.
[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
appreciate the help

appreciate the help from everyone so far. I got through the bootloader stuff easily enough and now the shield is unlocked. This next bit is just knocked me for six as I have followed the instructions step by step and even taught myself some new stuff but this is not going according to plan.

So far:

I downloaded Andriod SDK

Ran SDK

clicked install and it installed lots of stuff including Android SDK tools, SDK platform tools and SDK Platform & ARM EABIv7a a system image in the Android 4.3 section.

I downloaded minimal adb and fastboot v1.1.3

I downloaded Superuser

I downloaded thor-insecure-boot.img

I downloaded the Universal_Naked_Driver_0.73 package

I then installed the Universal Naked Driver package which shows up on computer manager Devices under Android Devices as NVIDIA SHIELD ADB

I then dragged the thor and superuser files into the minimal adb and fastboot folder

I then plugged in my Shiled via USB 2.0

I started up the adb and fastboot CMD window

I first typed in adb devices and the shield showed up.

I then Typed in adb reboot bootloader

The shield went into boot mode.

I then retyped adb devices into the CMD window

The shield did not show up.

I the typed in fastboot boot thor-insecure-boot.img

The CMD window then said <waiting for Devices>

The shield screen showed that the device is unlocked and gave me 5 options:

Continue

Restart Bootloader

Recovery Mode

Reboot

Poweroff.

And then nothing.

This is the point I am at in terms of rooting.

The Device shows up in the Computer/manage window when plugged in but when I execute the adb reboot bootloader command it dissapears.

There is a Device in the Other Devices section of the Computer/manage window called Fastboot. This has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it.

The CMD window can communicate with the Shield as it can make it go into boot mode but that's it.

Appreciate any help that can be given. Apologies for the length of post but it's only fair you know what I have done so far. Knowledge is power etc

I'm on windows 7 64bit os.

Latest pictures of the system

Ok so these are the latest picture of the system as it is now.

Currently there are two drivers showing for the Shield. One under Android Devices as Nvidia Shield ADB

The other is under Portable Devices as SHIELD. (picture 4 from the left)

When in boot mode the Android Device dissappears (picture 2 from the left)

There is a picture of the minimal adb and fastboot folder where I put the Superuser.apk file, the Su file and the Thor file - picture 3 (Is that all correct?)

There is also a picture of the command window when the shield is in boot mode. I type in adb devices and nothing shows up (picture 1)

[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
When your shield is waiting for fastboot commands it should show up as fastboot in device manager.

I had a terrible time with drivers too. My advice is to uninstall as many shield drivers as you can and then try to manually update the drivers making sure to get the fastboot driver installed. When you select have disk for the drivers the correct one will say Shield Fastboot
[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
time to go fishing!

Ok I will try to uninstall drivers but not sure how to do it due to not exactly knowing which ones there are and where they are kept. Will take a look around. Thanks for the help though will try and find the fastboot drivers
[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
When I did it I plugged in my Shield and went into the device manager and uninstalled everything Shield related. I think it showed up in two places. Then I unplugged the Shield and when I plugged it back in I went back to the device manager and found the Shield again since Windows will auto install some sort of driver when you plug the shield in. I think this is when either there will be a yellow exclamation point next to one of them or windows will actually allow you to update the driver without giving you the stupid "driver is up to date" message.

That's when I right clicked on it and selected to update driver. At that point I made sure to use the "Have Disk" option and browsed to the universal driver folder. Once the universal driver list populated I was able to find the Shield fastboot driver in that list. I think my original problems started when I installed the Shield ADB driver which isn't needed and once that driver is installed the fastboot driver seems impossible to install because stupid windows keeps telling you the driver is up to date. By booting your Shield up using the home and back keys you are manually placing it in fastboot mode so you never need to use adb commands.

It is hard to remember but I do remember uninstalling everything I could and when I did finally update a driver I used the one with the word fastboot in it.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

If you get to this point again select to update that driver for the exclamation point and go to have disk and find the fastboot driver which you somehow get to by using the "have disk" option and browsing the universal drivers folder when you update the driver. Don't install the other drivers in the list, just the fastboot driver.
[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
don't get the have disk option

uninstalled everything again. Next will be finding the Have disk option.
[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
ah ha

I kinda see, when I go into Update driver Do I go into "let me pick from a list of device drivers?"

I click on that option and it gives me a list of devices but not sure what to choose. There was an android device option so chose that. I then went into the folder and clicked the "Have disk" option. I then navigated to the universal folder but there was nothing like bootloader or boot device in the folder.

I go into computer, right click, choose manage.

Go down to devices.

See OTHER DEVICES

In that folder is the SHIELD device with the yellow triangle next to it.

Right click it, choose update driver.

I choose let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

It opens the window - select your device type from the list below

I choose show all devices

It opens the window - select the device driver you want to install for this hardware

I click the HAVE DISK button

I chose Install from disk option

I clicked the browse button

I navigated to the Universal naked driver folder and clicked open.

List of items in the folder are:

amd64 - folder

i368 - folder

android_apxusb.inf

android_winusb.inf

and that's it. So I chose android_apxusb.inf

right clicked on it to install.

window asking if I wanted to cancel or install anyway popped up.

chose install anyway.

Driver installed but still the same as before.

sigh
[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
hmmmm

ok so this time I installed the ADB driver.

I then deleted the Portable Devices Driver named SHIELD.

I then booted my shield up again.

This time the Android Device Nividia Shield ADB turned into Fastboot and had the yellow triangle on it.

I then clicked on that chose to update drivers.

I then chose the Have Disk option. Chose the android_apxusb.inf file and clicked ok. There was the a long list of devices including asus eepad etc and I scrolled down to Nvidia Shield Fastboot.

I highlighted it clicked ok, it warned me that it didn't know if the driver was reliable, I clicked ok to install it anyway and the driver then went back up into the Android Devices folder in the device manager and was named Nvidia Shield fast boot.

So I opened up minimal adb & fastboot, then typed in adb reboot boot loader. The Shield booted, I then typed in adb devices but nothing showed up.

I then tried to do command the thor.img anyway, it say:

downloading boot.img

OKAY (0.810s)

booting...

OKAY (0.020s)

finished. total time 0.830s

The shield the rebooted and came back on as normal.

I then cut a paste the command lines:

adb shell

mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP /system

exit

but when it came to the mount command it said:

mount: operation not permitted.

hmmmm something is not right but cannot put my finger on it....:roll eyes:

When I went back into the Device Manager I saw that under Android Devices there are now two drivers

Nvidia Shield ADB

Nvidia Shield Fastboot

Not easy this stuff eh?
[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
20 times

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers 20 times now. Always the same result.

I am going to start this all over again.

Don't think I will get any luck.

I uninstalled drivers, plugged in the shield, the updated the drivers via the have disk method. The booted shield.

Then changed fastboot driver to updated driver again.

The results of the whole thing can be seen here
[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
Please help

Right I uninstalled all drivers again.

When I restart and plug the shield back in it automatically installs two drivers.

One is in the Other devices folder named SHIELD and has a yellow exclamation mark next to it.

The other is in Portable Devices and looks to install ok.

What am I meant to do with these?

I try to update the Portable device driver but it doesn't allow me to update it.

I update the other one as nvidia shield fastboot but the when I actually boot the Shiled up it moves from the Android devices folder to the other devices folder and calls itself Fastboot (it has a yellow triangle next to it.

So I then update that one to Nvidia shield fastboot and everything goes ok installng the thor.img.

The the shield roboots and reinstalls the same driver... Now I have two Nvidia Shield Fastboot drivers in my Android folder.

Really Really could do with some help people please please please
[Shield Q&A] gogul1:
Thanks

I was given a package of developer tegra nvidia drivers adk drivers to install.

Now I can boot my shield

When I type in fastboot devices my shield shows up as a long number

but when I type in fastboot boot zimage_dtb-ramfs.img.gz

I replies

cannot load zImage_dtb': No error

I put the files in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.

Odd.

The drivers I have installed now are in this picture it works up until the point I need to execute the root

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WilliamKingX17:
You must have taken the update to MF3. Essentially, you will not be allowed to downgrade firmware back to older versions. The way Samsung is writing the bootloader is there a monotonic counter only going in one direction, up. So if the bootloader has been updated to the latest version by an OTA, you can't revert it back. Currently I believe there is no workaround, but we have some awesome devs on this site so keep your fingers crossed.
