Kobo Vox Problems - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello all, well I'm in the process of trying to root this thing after the march 2nd update. However, when I plug it into the computer via usb Windows7 can't install the device drivers. I have usb debugging enabled but it still won't connect.
Anyone know how to fix this issue or has anyone had this problem also and how did you fix it?
Also, do you guys know how to root this thing? Every guide that I find and they say to download so and so package my anti-virus keeps telling me that the package contains a trojan so i'm not sure if I want to trust it lol

Sorry, Can one of the forum moderators delete this? I just discovered that the NEW update in june prevents you from using the march 2nd update root guide. soooo this is basically useless

Hi,
You may have heard this problem many times, I tried to upgrade my ROM and it failed a few seconds in because for some insane reason the phone rebooted during the upgrade, It now says USB on the top and v1.00, Tried hard reset but does not work, I have also tried to reflash the rom but I am using MS vista that uses an alternative to Activesync, so the upgrade says 202 connection error, Please can anyone help me!!!!

you need to downgrade your drivers... there's a way of doing it, but I've never done it myself, so you'll need to find someone else who has.

Activesync wont install on Vista, which to be honest would probably work fine it is stupid M$ prohibiting it to install,
The computer will detect the phone, it says Microsoft USB Sync, does it need to be a ceartain driver for this to work?
Really need help on this! Computer recognises PDA says Microsoft USB Sync, What is the correct driver, the updater is not recognising the phone
Please anyone if you have even a small idea please post it!!! PLEASE!

Yeah, sorry it took a while, for some reason this thread only popped up as new today???? strange...
For your problems... uninstall ActiveSync... reduntant in Vista, there the new WMDC (I take it you realise this?). After uninstall, connect your device and it will install WMDC with the appropriate updates, then you have to check this thread here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723.
That thread may be dated and there may be a newer one, but there were many people using it successfully and I was one of them until I downgraded again to XP. Hope it helps.
BTW, Vista sucks A$$, it's just not ready for driver and program release, and if you get an independant memory and CPU monitor, it'll show you that the built in one lies through it's teath!!! But hey, each to it's own. Regards.
plz tell me dear how we connect in a dead stage
Other option would be to flash the ROM using a machine with XP, wich I find more easy than in vista
Hope it helps,
When I tried it in Vista I had a similar problem, I tried it on an XP machine no problems, am using Win7 now but dont know if upgrading the ROM will work yet, a bit risky.

[DRIVERS] Latest usb drivers from samsung. 7-20-2011

Hi Guys & gals,
For those that don't use Kies & want the USB drivers for windows, You can download them from here. I was lazy/busy/etc, now I would like to keep this thread updated.
http://www.mediafire.com/?1b8q8xrfyjx4r9n
These are from the Kies published 8-2-2011.
I always keep my drivers updated. To be sure I don't encounter problems with Odin/Heimdal etc.
reserved...
For further notice.
REG HACK doesnt work anymore?!
Today I got prompt to install new version of Kies, so I did that, but after updating I´ve noticed, that the Reg Hack doesnt work anymore. When I edited regs and start the firmware updater, it set actuall firmware info into the reg. Did you noticed the same thing? Or is the reg hack working for you?
And after I noticed this issue, I reinstalled the previous version, but now after the reg is modified I see the modified version in the updater, but it gives me the message "This version cannot be updated" Any idea how to fix that to reg hack works again?

Updated my Thread with the Latest usb drivers from samsung. 7-20-2011
wrong section!
btw, what's the use? this thread is from november 2010 mate, there where only 4 reply's and they where from yourself
you adjusted your second post only today and say you always keep your drivers updated???? lol
I update them for half a year now mate and in the right section ;-)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
You may not have observed the Title. It has the date on which the drivers were published. You may have also missed reading the First post that says these drivers were taken out of the Kies published/available for download since 2nd august 2011. You may also not be aware that since I published the drivers, they have been downloaded 1609 times. They have certainly helped some people.
PS : Try googling for USB drivers & you almost certainly get a list of old drivers. You actually have to struggle quite a lot to get the latest ones. East way would be to download Kies from samsung. That would guarantee you that you have the latest. This thread is for those who prefer not to download Kies.
are you kidding me? you are joking right?
wanne talk about downloads?
dude, again, the same thing exist already for a long time now and is posted in the right section btw don't tell me you didn't see that
type samsung usb drivers in xda search ;-)

PLZ Help

I have a epic. First time rooting. I've downloaded the drivers and I'm using the oneclick root. I have my phone is usb debbuging. I either get a error that my phone is not connected or ragethecage.exe is missing . Also is there any way i can pay to root my phone like can someone send me something all ready to go.. plz help.
Thanks in advance
Antivirus
your antivirus thinks rage is a virus disable all anti virus programs and disconnect from the net.
it is deleting rage when you download it
also which antivirus are you running?
This should be in Q & A. Rageagainstthecage is the exploit used to root your Epic. your anti-virus on your PC may have deleted it.
You need to re boot phone & pc after installing drivers. Don't worry you can keep trying to root with no ill effects. Also make sure you post questions in q&a section not dev section. This is a do it yourself community maybe try craigs list for someone wanting to root your phone.

I had a similar problem this most recent time re flashing and rooting my phone however I didnt get the missing file error, just the connection error. All I had to do was reinstall the drivers once or twice and it was fine. Just a finicky computer.

if you join the irc channel (there is a thread in the general section with the info/link) we have people there almost all the time willing to help out
Are you still using the stock USB cable? If so pitch it and try a better cable. That solved a lot of my flashing issues.

USB Device Not Recognised 4.0.4

Hi Guys...
Have a problem with my Nexus and the USB...
I cannot for love nor money get the bloody thing to connect as a media device. Tried everything even to the point of formatting my laptop and hardresseting the phone...
Now I'm damn near sure this is a broken USB port... Does anyone know of a surefire way of proving this?
Thanks
Nev
Hi Nev,
might be a dumb question, but did you enable the MTP Connection in your storage settings ? Settings -> Storage -> USB-Connection
I think it is deactivated by default in some ROM´s...
RealDealSaar
What kernel is on it? It could be because fast charge is enabled. If so disable it and it should work as intended.
Thanks for getting back guys...
Stock everything installed, yes the MTP switched on...
Not long after opening this thread the device connected, however win xp insisted that it was impossible to find the drivers...
So I'm back to the USB not recognised after trying to use the drivers from the Root toolkits and installing the Samsung Drivers mss package...
Really screwing over this... now useless device... don't know what else to do...

Awe I know what to do. You have to manually install the drivers. Give me second... there's a video for this. For future reference don't rely in tool kits.

Here, you can try using this... it may help you, it helped me when i was trying to root and couldnt get the ADB 1.0 device installed.. How to Manually Install GNex Drivers
Ok minor step...
It is noticing the device... however all the driver I can find it states that there is no information about my hardware...
It is recognised and installed in PTP mode..
Holy Sh*t...
Back up and running... that was an incredible ball ache... Think I'll try avoiding the MTP phones in the future...
Thanks for your help guys

[Q] Rooting Help? USB Not Working In Download Mode

I have a Sprint Samsun Galaxy Note 4, in the USA. I'm trying to root my device - I've read online tutorials, watched videos, and it doesn't seem to be working. Here's what happens:
1. Downloaded CF Auto Root for my device, unzipped it.
2. Set up ODIN.
3. Set phone to download mode, plugged in to PC.
4. Did not see the blue light, figured I didn't have the right drivers.
5. Turned phone back on, and noticed that ODIN light now works (as do file transfers), but downloaded new drivers anyway.
6. Uninstalled old drivers, rebooted.
7. Installed new drivers, rebooted.
8. Placed phone in download mode again, same issue.
Any ideas?
Did you wait a couple of minutes between steps 3 and 4 before giving up. I just re-did this last night; I didn't time it but my PC must have taken a minute to show COM to be ready to start Odin on the stock tar.
I was also having USB driver issues and reinstalled. My PC has been having USB issues in general with Windows 8.1 updates; had to uninstall and reinstall the same PC generic USB driver. Circa 2009 era PC needs an overhaul or replacement.
BTW, if you're using an older CF Auto root, CF went back to Odin 3.07 and updated to superSU v2.45
I did, because I was unsure what was going on. This is only the second time I've rooted a phone, so I was unsure what would happen if I pulled the battery. I think I waited about 20 minutes while looking online to figure out what was going on.
I'm not sure what you mean by an older version. I downloaded the version for my phone from chainfire.eu

Some questions I should have asked earlier: USB debugging enabled? Using USB 2.0? Tried different USB cables?
Yes, device debugging is enabled. First thing I did on my phone after activation =)
I'm not sure how to tell if I'm using USB 2.0 or 3.0.
I did try a different cable. I don't think the cable would be the issue since it works when the phone is on normally, though?
I'm going to follow the troubleshooting guide in the links you posted, see if that helps =)

PS. Did you use Kingo to root your note 4? I might give it a try.
No, I just posted links for the thoroughness of checks. I used CF Auto root. Good luck.
Did not work either. It DOES say I'm connected, went through the reboot, but then just starts over again. /sigh
I'm thinking the MTP might be the issue, but I don't seem to have a MSD option on my note 4?
Any more ideas?
What Windows version are using? If it's 8.1, has it been updated? There was a USB 2.0 update that fixed some devices reporting as compatible greater than 2.0 but not handled correctly by Windows 8.1 but was OK with Windows 8.0 and below. Windows 8.1 got an update July, 2014, that should have fixed that but not all were fixed; there's a link for reporting exceptions with a log but I'm not sure that applies to you.
Have you tried using the USB port on test of PC case?
Maybe being more specific about your PC and what you've tried would help.
From there, if anyone else has some suggestions, please advise.

I'm sorry but I don't recall seeing this reply because I don't understand it now. I may have overlooked it?
Are you saying the phone appears to download but boot loops? You should see success and 0 failures prior to auto boot. Is that the CF Auto root flash in Odin or another Odin flash like recovery or stock tar? If that's happening, did you try to pull battery and delete cache and dalvik cache in recovery? Is the phone semi bricked or just not rooted? Can you Odin the recovery tar for TWRP recovery? If so, you could just flash the superSU zip file in TWRP.
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Another suggestion, if you're getting anywhere with Odin, you should close and reopen Odin if doing multiple flashes. Close after each flash; i.e., power down, flash stock tar, close Odin, open Odin, flash CF Auto root, close Odin, flash recovery (download mode steps omitted since you know that already).
Again, someone might could help with detailed setup details and steps taken. Sorry if I'm not following well; I'd like to help, if possible.

Didn't realize the auto correct suggested wrong word. I meant rear USB of PC case but trying another PC is also suggested.
Windows 7 means most of my suggestions regarding the drivers may not apply to you. Off topic: upgrading to Windows 8 from Windows Vista had me searching for needed applications and tools omitted from Windows 8. Windows 7 is more developer ready than Windows 8. Simply rooting should be OK with either version as long as drivers and Windows updates are up to date and not broken.
Try those ideas; if still no success, consider the suggestions and questions I gave in the reply earlier today.
