I have a Nexus 4. I accidently wiped system and tried to restore it unsuccessfully.
I did have adb before I wiped the system. Now I can only get into recovery mode. When I use Nexus root toolkit it recognizes the device only in bootloader but it can't recognize it as adb device. I thought maybe now that Android is not installed USB, debugging is disabled as default.
Do I have a way to enable it or do you have any other solution? I can't use the device. Do I have any other way to install Android without adb?
adb isn't required (adb is only one of the ways to do it. As long as you still have access to recovery mode, you're golden).
Just get the zipped image you want to install (a modded one, or the official one). You should be able to get the official one from google since it's a Nexus 4. Do not unzip it.
Connect your phone to your computer as a usb drive. Copy the zip file to the root of your internal sdcard on your phone.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode. Then navigate the menu on the phone with the sound rocker and the power key to tell it where to find the new location of the new image.
Then reboot normally. I'm writing this from memory. If you want more specific instructions, I can provide them if you want.
After a) growing tired of the slowness of the emulator and b) nearing the end of the development of my first android app, I decided to connect my old and forgotten Toshiba Folio 100 android 2.2 tablet to my Windows 7 development PC, in order to deploy my android app. The PC and tablet 'see' each other, that is, the PC sees the tablet as a disk drive. In the android settings I switched on the developer mode. I read through the many advice threads of this site concerning deploying the app to a real device. To start with, in windows explorer, computer, right click, manage, does not result in recognition of the tablet, except for Toshiba storage USB device.
In Eclipse I went to Run configurations, target tab,tried all the different radio buttons settings, to no avail. The devices view, same story. Eclipse does not see the tablet. I also tried some old Archos 48 mini tablet, again nothing.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
do you see it as an android device? open a command prompt and type "adb devices" make sure your tablet is listed there, otherwise you need to find some adb drivers for it, you may want to try the generic adb usb driver.
If you're seeing the device in explorer listed as a disk drive it probably means you have the wrong USB mode on the device. It's called different things on different devices, but on many devices it's referred to as "Charge Only" mode (or not mass storage mode). Also make sure USB debugging is enabled on the device.
I am trying to test my android application on a samsung s2 phone with android version 4.0.3, I downloaded the usb driver from the official website, but the program does not detect the phone, returning a message telling me that samsung mobile mtp device failed
any help please?
Hi I have followed the Exact steps from Link : http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/559858-samsung-mobile-mtp-device-cannot-installed.html
Here are steps : (for Windows specific instructions):
Ensure phone is not connected to PC.
Uninstall KIES from PC. Reboot your PC and Reinstall KIES after that. Just for great measure... open KIES, go to Tools | Troubleshoot connection error. Follow instructions and wait for it to finish the troubleshooting procedure.
Reboot your phone (or turn off and then on your phone again). Do not connect it to your PC just yet.
Once rebooted, go to your phone's dialer, type *#7284# - A configuration window will appear. In that window's USB section, if it's default to PDA, tap MODEM, then back to PDA, (if it is MODEM in the beginning, change it to PDA) then press the back key to exit. Most importantly, it must set as PDA when you exit.
Turn off USB debugging in your phone.
(Optional) Set your phone's screen timeout to a lengthy time. (minimum 1-2 minutes - recommended 5mins to 30mins) its found in Settings | Display. You can change this back later on.
Connect the phone to your PC with USB cable and let windows load your drivers... and wait for the drivers to get reinstalled.
Once reinstalled, disconnect the phone off USB. Switch USB debugging back on in your phone settings, and reconnect the phone back - you'll see windows load another set of drivers for your phone. Wait until it is completed. (This step is a precautionative measure to ensure your phone is identified with all the necessary drivers)
Once complete, unplug your phone, and turn off USB debugging... This is to ensure MTP will initialize. Also, press the phone's home key until your homescreen is displayed. Only after doing all that, reconnect your phone back to PC.
Test and see if MTP works using Windows Explorer. You'll see your phone's USB storage and SDCard contents if it does.
This definitely helped me after 2 days of googling..... Hope it will help others too....
I had to use a slightly different procedure with my SCH-S738C Samsung phone. Here are the steps I took to get the phone communicating with Windows XP:
Ensure phone is not connected to PC.
Uninstall KIES from PC. Reboot your PC and Reinstall KIES after that. Just for great
measure... open KIES, go to Tools | Troubleshoot connection error. Follow instructions
and wait for it to finish the troubleshooting procedure.
On your SCH-S738C Samsung phone type into google search: [root SCH-S738C]. This will
bring up the following web address:
http://forums.droidbeans.com/tutorials/(how-to)(root-micromax-qualcomm-phones-without-pc)/?action=thankyoupostlist;msg=813
then navigate to this address.
On your SCH-S738C Samsung phone select the poot.apk from the spot on the page that
reads: Download poot.apk.
Follow the rest of the instructions on the web page, which are:
1) Download and Install poot.apk
2) Now open the poot app then it will require you to install Ministro II, Simply
follow the link to Google play store.
3) Then you will be required to update ministro library, please update it.
4) Once you updated the Ministro Library then you will be faced with two options;
1. “Press here to Poot”
2. “Built in root check”
5) Click on the first option which is “Press here to Poot” and after a while,
You are going to face with three options.
1. Get Superuser
2. Get root-checker
3. In-built rootchecker
When you see these options it simply means your phone has been rooted
successfully. Then click get Superuser to complete the process..
6) And finally do a reboot to take effect :P
7) Congrats you have rooted your phone now
Ensure Samsung Kies is running on your Windows XP machine.
Connect the phone to your PC with USB cable and let windows load your drivers...
and wait for the drivers to get reinstalled.
I was now able to stop Samsung Kies and just use Windows XP File Manager to load and copy files to and from the SCH-738C Samsung phone.
I had similar problem with Samsung devices when I installed fresh Windows XP. I figured out that I cannot install "SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device Driver" over Windows update site so I:
Download drivers from
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/ScopedViewRedirect.aspx?updateid=523dde6f-6efb-47ac-9aac-8f53732e45c9
Connect device to the PC
When Windows notifies about new HW I installed drivers from downloaded package (for USB, MTP etc)
adb works fine but still device was not visible over MTP so I installed Windows Media Plaery 11 over Windows Update
That solved the problem. WMP 11 is required for the MTP mode. Otherwise Samsung Kies would be helpful.
Go to Samsung Kies software, on top left of the window, click the menu > Driver recovery.
Let it reinstall drivers
After driver installation finished, go to your phone, Settings> Application > Development, tick USB debugging mode.
Under USB debugging mode connect your phone to the PC with USB.
It installs correctly!
Disconnect from PC
Untick USB debugging mode
Connect again
My Samsung Galaxy S Captivate crashes on bootup and I need to read the log dump which is stored on the files system. Problem is I cannot seem to see the phone as SD from my windows 7 PC. I have USB connected which is good and can deploy to the phone an apk, but I cannot access the file system. How do I access the file system on this phone. Thanks
If you're using Eclipse, and don't want to mount the SD every time (to keep debugging), you can do the following:[Window->Show view->other->android->file explorer / hierarchy view] (don't remember the exact name.)
Connect your phone to USB of your PC, on your phone, find and touch proper Notification message to mount SD card.
I want to test my applications on LG P500 device. But emulator is not detecting the device. When i try to add USB driver which is there in SDK, it is not accepting . Please tel me how to configure Device for testing.
I struggled long and hard to get the correct USB driver installed for my P500. I ended up installing a few different things, and over the course of two or three reboots I managed to get it going.
I'm pretty sure the actual setup details you need can be found here (Note, this is the New Zealand section of the LG website - which is where I am, but it should work globally).
If you follow that, you should be able to install the USB driver. Once done, go to SETTINGS-APPLICATIONS-DEVELOPMENT on the phone and turn on USB Debugging and Stay Awake - these help when you are using the phone to test code.
You can test that its actually working by going into the Android SDK folder shown below and typing adb devices (in the directory shown, remove the (x86) if you are using 32-bit windows) - mine shows up as follows:
c:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb devices
List of devices attached
80A354043044674101 device
I hope that helps - let me know if you are still having problems.
Change your phone settings to allow USB Debugging. Home->Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging. Then connect your phone and run ddms to see if your phone shows up.The emulator will not show your phone, but it should be recognized in DDMS
If some one trying to work on LG P500, Please follow the steps.
1> Connect your Phone to system.
2> Enable settings>SD Card & phone Storage > Mass storage only.
3> Now it will open the SD card. Go to PC suit dir, Install the application whc in turn contain USB drivers. After installation has completed desable mass storage only.
4> Change your phone settings to allow USB Debugging. Home->Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging as Apesa ans Steve suggested
(Even i hve installed LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_WHQL_Ver_4.9.4_All.exe )Please let me knw wht exactly this driver will do . )
