My computer wouldnt recognize my phone either after a while... it turned out to be the crappy samsung usb cable. I tried a different cable and everything was fine. If you have a different usb cable try it! Maybe that will solve it. It did for me. Good luck.

my phone is recognized by the computer, just not when it is off
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Sounds like you have the"no 3 button recovery"issue. You should be able to use adb with phone on to boot into recovery, just be ready before you get carried away and get/make a jig as you will likely need it at some point to get you out of a bad flash where adb commands are not possible.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allmaechtig:
So... That didn't work

So i am having the problem with ODIN not seeing my phone when in download mode, although it can when it is on. I really want to get CM7 on my phone and do my own boot animation/splash screen. Yet I can't seem to find any good information as to how to fix this.

I am not a NOOb at this nore am I dev. but this is something new that no one has seemed to be able to fix.

If anyone knows how to fix this that would be awesome, or if any dev with a fair amount of credit would want so give this a go that would be awesome.

Hoping to get some ideas...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longr6:
I highly recommend buying a jig. I use mine all the time to go to download. I have softbricked many times and it has saved me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allmaechtig:
So i think that i figured it out... After you install the drivers from samsung you need to install mini keis. It loads additional driver that allow the device to connect while in download mode

Good Luck

PM me & let me know how it goes
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian Rubin:
So I'm on my 2nd EVO, a refurb, since my original EVO had its USB port snap off its motherboard. With this new EVO I'm trying to be more careful, but I've noticed something.

A couple of months ago I purchased these:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/r...zon.com/gp/product/B003PD80X8/ref=oss_product

So I could charge the EVO at work and in the car. I've noticed, however, that they go into the port and come out more securely than the one that came with the EVO, yet with more force needed to insert and remove the cord.

Is it possible that using these cords is what caused my USB port to separate from the motherboard, or am I just being paranoid?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I wouldn't think so. I had my charger replaced at the sprint store that wasn't an oem evo charger. I noticed that it was a bit more snug though.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalek1999:
1st post here.

Seems like basic problem but I cannot get adb connected to my G1.

I started off on process of upgrading to CM 6.1 but when I was about to put recovery image on phone I discovered flash_image program was not found. Then set off on the adb route but am now stuck. Tried searching but not found answer. Here is what I have done/tried so far:-

PC is XP Pro SP3

G1 V1.6 rooted via Universal method (su works ok via Term)

Downloaded and installed latest SDK in c:\Android-sdk

USB debugging is enabled on phone

SD card is not mounted

When I run "adb devices" (from C:\android-sdk\platform-tools) it fails with

msg "error: protocol fault (no status)"

The basic usb connection to PC is known to be working ok (have copied files to phone sd card etc. no problem if I mount it)

The installation of usb drivers seemed to go ok although I had to do it manually from folder \android-sdk\google-usb_driver

When I look at usb devices with USBDeview there are 3 related to Android phone (all enabled).

1. HTC Android phone usb device (connected)

2. USB Mass storage device (not connected)

3. Android composite ADB interface (not connected)

Further info...

I see other people have had the same problem (with other phones as well) but cannot find any specific reason or fix that works.

I have reinstalled latest sdk rev08

Unintsalled and reinstalled latest google usb drivers (ver 4) endless times

Usb driver install appears to all go ok

In XP Device Manager I get Android Phone device which expanded shows single Android Composite Interface Device which has staus enabled and working ok

I have no "Other" usb devices etc. showing up in Device Manager

USBDeview shows 3 usb devices for Android phone. The connected one shows the htc serial no. The ADB composite interface is not connected and has no serial number.

I have tried different usb ports, cables, and another standard G1 phone - all gives same results

I noticed the adb_usb.ini file had no device id in it, I ran "update adb" as per comment note at top of adb_usb.ini but still got not entries in file.

Someone surely must have solution to this. I cannot believe a G1 phone does not work/been tested with sdk adb.

Maybe some source code guru can tell me under what conditions adb gives the "protocol error: no status" msg.

Or could someone with a working G1 adb usb connection post their adb_usb.ini etc.

Have spent 2 days on and off fiddling with this sdk now. :-(

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalek1999:
Further info on problem:-

After cleaning up windows registry and driver remnants I noticed that very occasionally the adb devices command would actually return the connected device.

I did some tracing of adb actions by setting the adb_trace=all variable.

The traces at bottom of this post show a failed "adb devices" request and a successful one.

Interestingly I noticed that if adb server is started with trace mode on (see below) then subsequent "adb devices" commands will work correctly even if trace mode is turned off (set adb_trace=blank) straight after the start command has completed.

It would appear there is some sort of timing relate problem in adb which is masked when trace is on?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrechtel:
Hi guys,

I've got a customer who is having a problem on my app which has to read wpa_supplicant.conf. Normally this file is located at /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and requires root to read.

Anyways, according to the errors he's getting and based on his own exploration, his wpa_supplicant.conf file is not located there. I'm not sure which ROM he has (am waiting for a reply to that question now), but does anyone know if this file is normally located in /data/misc/wifi ?

Thanks,

what exactly are you stating:

1.) you used a random backup on your SD card? If so do you know what the backup consisted of, was it a backup of your current rom?

2.) You had rom manager 3.0 installed when u restored the backup? What version of Rom Manger do you have installed now? and now your stating the Rom Mananger wont flash anything?

3.) Maybe someone else can help but what does gapps have to do with you downloading from the Market if you have CM6 installed?

4.) Did you backup any of your apps before restoring, if so you can use any file browser and reinstall Rom Manager v3.0

I hope im helping in some way just want to clerify what you saying:)

Hello,

I want a new MicroSd HC Card for my Hero.

After doing some research on the internet, I am confused...

Some people say, that it is senseless to buy an expensive class 6 or 8 card for the phone, because it can not handle the extra speed a card with a higher class has.

Hey people, I'm experiencing some problem with moving Apps to my SD card.

I'm quite a lazy bump and writing this topic probably takes more time than redownloading all of my stuff :p But I'm stubborn and I want to know how this works.

The reason I want to move stuff to my SD card is the fact I ****ed some stuff up and I want to install a stock rom

I was installing the new system update via this GUIDE, thanks fly out to hamdir:)

Unfortunately, something went wrong (check it out here), because I had preinstalled apps removed, and by-passing the problem it caused didn't work out well...

So now I want to install a stock rom so the preinstalled stuff will be there again, and I will be able to update it properly.

------------------------

So, the actual question.:p

Because I want to have all my applications on my SD card anyway, I started moving it through Manage Applications.

For some applications (apps I surely installed myself), I cant select the ''Move to SD" option, while if they already were on my SD card it would say Move to phone - which it doesnt.

Any idea on why I can't? I maked sure they werent running:rolleyes:

To use titaniumbackup I will need root acces which I mysteriously lost (check the link I gave, hope someone could still assist me there a little..!)
