hey all,
ive been a member for a while, but have never posted. i usually am always reading and trying to keep up with updates, and how to's... i am currently running liberated Aria FROO8 (2.6.32.17-cyanogen-Liberty), and have been for some time. i am nervous usually when it comes to rom updates, so i dont update constantly (if anyone has a great rom i should update to, please dont hesitate to shout it out). the problem was when i decided to update to Clockworkmod recovery 3.2 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723
now, my computer does not recognize my phone, and will only charge the phone. i have tried to reinstall unrevoked, but when i go through the steps, my device manager or registers it as My Htc, and i cannot update using the drivers i downloaded. it seems that its the computer not accepting the phone and not the phone restricting anything. please, please, can someone help, i need to be able to access my phone on my computer, and i have read all 33 pages of the forum thread i linked above. what do i need to do? is there a way to uninstall the recovery 3.2? if i were to upgrade to a new ROM, would the computer still not recognize the computer. i realize as well, after the fact, that i installed the recovery meant for the Desire.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused by your post, but if I've read correctly you have an Aria, not a Desire HD. You shouldn't flash the CWM you linked to - it's compiled specifically for the Desire HD. I'm not sure how you would get a working unrevoked back on your phone - it might be better to ask in the Aria forums.
Apologies if I've misunderstood your question.
Thanks again for posting so quickly. i am gonna post my same problem on the Aria page, and hopefully i can find someone who knows. the only reason i posted here, was because i got the CWM on the page that i linked, someone mentioned roughly the same problem i had:
"When i plug in the USB cable it says " Fastboot USB "
and my windows gives a popup " Device Driver Not correctly installed "
plus it seemed to be the computer that wasn't allowing the device to be found and installed. just to clear up my problem: it was exactly what you said, i downloaded and tried to install CWM 3.2 on an Aria phone, and i think the computer is waiting for me to plug in a Desire. Since i have the Aria, it cannot. hopefully i can get this fixed.
thanks again
sullylove
on my post to Aria Q/A i added this:
how can i get my computer to recognize this Aria without having to reboot everything and try to start from scratch, does anyone know if i need to reinstall CWM and which one would work for me. when i plugged my phone after install, its states that device driver not installed correctly. then when i run through the instructions loacated here:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how...droid-devices/
and here:
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/do...driver_install
and neither load a correct driver onto my computer, my computer does not register it as Other Device/Android 1.0, it registers it as My Htc.
hopefully it will clear things up
sullylove
is there also a way to delete the CWM 3.2 i installed on the computer, i cant seem to find it anywhere, where would it be
To be honest, any advice I could give might not be correct for the Aria. I imagine that you could flash an RUU and start again from scratch with unrevoked, but there may be a simpler way to restore the correct recovery. Your best bet is really the Aria forums. I hope you get it working!
As for removing the CWM from your PC, it depends how you installed it. Some of the recoveries come as a zip file, so look for where you downloaded it to and possibly a folder with the same name as the zip.
Please help me root this device. I have only ever done my Gs2 a few times with flashing etc, so am basically a complete noob.
I have tried for the last couple of hours and am wanting to go mad. I have followed all the lines about unlocking the device and the fastbook oem unlock, But all it ever tells me is waiting for device. Im guessing im missing drivers, but I have dont the samsung drivers a couple of times, and unzipped and followed the instructions.
Any easier to follow guides or info out there that can help me?
When I plug the phone in to unlock it, i dont get the usual ding from windows, i just get a little thre dings like it doesnt know what it is.
please help. Thanks....
Ps, sorry if I am being stupid or cluttering the forum. cheers..
No help out there at all???
If any one can I will be so grateful, Or if anyone is near to welwyn garden / st albans maybe youd fancy rooting 2 of these nexus' for me and il give you a drink?

Haven't rooted mine yet, I'll be doing it at the weekend. Had loads of issues with the drivers when I rooted my Nexus S. In the end I installed PDA net on my PC - the drivers installed with that worked fine (you don't actually use PDA net thereafter) Not sure if this works with the GN but you will not do any harm trying it.

Cheers guys, Im so new to this, its so frustrating. Its got to be a driver issue. My comp reconises the phone when its on, but when its in bootloader mode, windows is giving me three dull bells when connecting the device....
will have a look at the other thread, Have already read that one I think, and looked so foreign to me!!! lol
I cant pst in the other thread, but have downloaded and installed pda net for android, and when it gets to installing the drivers from the phone, it does it all, ie galaxy nexus , the other driver that i cant remember and the galaxy driver is not installing. Even gone two miles down the road and got a different laptop. no matter what I download or ty and install it just dnt do it.
can some one either make a real simple idiots guide for me the idot, or locally please let me pay you a small fee to root these two phones. Im almost in tears after 5.5 hours of constant crap and pathetiness.
Wishing right now i had not bthered with these phones. At least my s2 and flashing was simple.
It says "waiting for device" because for some crazy reason when you are in fastboot mode Windows (which is what I'm using) uses a different USB driver than when you are in "normal" usb connect mode.
What you need do to sort it out is to go to Device Manager and change the driver to use the Samsung instead of whatever crazy one Windows has decided to use. Then you can carry on with doing the bootloader unlocking.

Ok so what have you done so far?
You have the pdanet drivers installed on your pc?
You need to boot into fastboot mode to install the driver you need to root your phone.
*THIS* guide will explain what adb and fastboot are exactly.
*THIS* guide will show you how to set up adb and fastboot.
When unlocking the bootloader you will need the file fastboot.exe which you can put in the root of your c drive for easy access. The atteached file needs to be renamed from .zip to .exe as you cant attach .exe files in xda.
If you have any more questions then just ask .
Mark.
ok..... having gone through similar a few minutes ago.
The drivers kept saying that they had failed to install. kept trying over and over.
then i twigged:
1) made sure debugging mode was on
2) Rebooted the unit into bootloader mode - suddenly the adb driver installed successfully doh !
wonder if this is the same issue you are having ... the adb drivers only install successfully once the nexus is connected via usb and in bootloader mode
of course you may know all that already but it had me stumped for a while
Thank you guys, some good info and detailed posts, which is what I was hoping for! I'm in bed now, but will give this a blast and report back tomorrow!
Really appreciated!
Thanks .......

Big thanks to everyone. Woke up with a clearer head and proceeded to try again. Done as wilbur said and installed drivers in recovery mode. And perfect.......
after so many problems all was sorted. Then used superboot, and all was ok. 2 galaxy nexus's rooted. think the lesson learnt is to walk away instead of furiously trying things.
Cheers for all the input. What a easy methd ONCE all the drivers are there!!
Cheers people
Glad you got it sorted
I have an epic sitting at home that is useless as of right now because I no longer have a plan through sprint for it. I have a samsung replenish that I am using right now with Boost, and I am considering making it a donor phone and flashing the Epic over to Boost. Having this little thing really makes me realize just how awsome those Super AMOLED displays are. Anyway, I have a few questions before getting neck deep in this little endevour. First off, I don't want to be stuck on Eclair, but as I understand a Factory reset is necessary to get the 3G working, I read that people were abale to flash to Froyo using a few tricks, I was just wondering if the same works for Gingerbread. If anyone is running a Boost Epic on GB I would like to know how it is working out. Also, once the phone is flashed to said version of Android, can I just flash any rom on top of it through CMW without having to make tweaks?
And finally, I can not get either the Replenish or the Epic to read on CDMA Workshop, I have tried debug, non-debug, and diag modes and any combination, I have tried reading the phones in recovery mode, I have rebooted, restarted, unplugged, switched cables and ports....nothing...the phones both show up as modems and have their ports listed in device manager, but they absolutely refuse to show up, if anyone has any tricks that they could share regarding this issue it would be much oblidged
I know it's a lot but I figured I would try and cover all of my questions in one thread rather than making a bunch of seperate ones. BTW I have been researching for 2 days now, if there is something obvious that I missed, I apologize in advance, but I have tried other methods of resolution before creating this thread...Thanks in advance for any advice that you guys can offer...
We have a guide on here did you consult that? And I know that there is an alternative carrier fix for cm9 so you "could" get that puppy on android 4.0 =]. As for the computer not detecting... did you install the mobile drivers for the phones? I think you might need to if you haven't. I know when odining you need those I suppose the same for cdma workshop. Hope this helps at all =]. if you need the guide ill link it here.
Flashing Epic 4g to Boost Mobile Guide.
In this guide he is using the incognito but as long as you have a cdma phone to use as a donor phone you should be fine. If you havnet installed the drivers for either phones then this is most likely your issue. Also according to the guide you CAN flash other ROMs. The only thing that needs to be tweaked is the sms settings.
Yeah, I have looked at the guide, I was hoping to clarify on the few items that I wasn't clear on. I have installed the drivers for both phones and Odin does infact recognize each one, I use it to verify the Com ports that the phones are on...i'm baffled :/
After hours more of trying...and researching..I still can not get past the initial step of getting cdma to read my phones...either of them. Is there a section on this forum for requesting services? I dont care if I have to pay to get it done, I want my epic on boost...

I doubt it... but who knows. I dont see why they wont detect. They should if you have the drivers installed... maybe try just having one of the phones drivers installed at once... which ever phone you have to start off with have that phones drivers installed only. so unistall both then install just one that you need then unistall that one when the other one needs to be used... and you might want to reboot in between driver installations. drivers can be very picky. Or you could try another computer...
I'll give it a shot, its something new at least...I will post my results when I am done..

I know some having success doing this because they had their epic touch and epic 4g drivers installed once they unistalled both and just installed the epic 4g the computer would recognize it.
tried uninstalling all samsung mobile drivers and installing the drivers for each phone by themselves, still nothing...I am downloading a new set of drivers now, they are generic Samsung mobile drivers.I'm not expecting much but its all I got at this point...

HMM i know which samsung drivers work great for the epic but i think you need device specific drivers for the replenish.
32 and 64 bit Drivers I know the drivers here work great and i have used them with every epic i've rooted... I just learned that the drivers im linking you to work for the replenish .
awesome, I am trying them as we speak...
ah crap, those were the same drivers that I downloaded for the Replenish, still a no go...the fact that neither phone works would tell me its on the PC end, and drivers would be the number one suspect, but alas...they just aren't making a difference in my results..

Yeah you might need to try another computer. The usb ports could be bad/out on that one depending on how old it is. Or it could be the usb cable as well you'd be amazed at how much trouble is cause by those. Have you tried a brand new blackberry cable? those are the best cables at getting things recognized. What i dont get is that odin will COM the phone.... and this is in download mode right?
no, it coms both phones in debug mode, I have a few blackberry cables lying around that I have picked up on Amazon that I bought for Odin. Thats what kind of has me scratching my head too. It is an older laptop though, Id say about 4 years old, running windows 7 x64...I have checked QPCT as well just to see if it recognizes the phones and it doesnt either, so I guess it's some issue with my com port's compatibility with the mobile phone software....I will see if I can get away with doing this at work tomorrow, it may be tricky but my boss is old and senile lol
Well I tried it at work with no luck yet, which just leaves human error in to play...not sure what though, I've covered all of the options that I have come across. The replenish I could understand, but the Epic is documented to work just fine with CMDA WS...I just don't get it...
A couple things to try...
1. Connect the phone in normal mode (so it asks mass storage, etc) and let the drivers install.
2. Unplug, turn on USB debugging (Settings -> applictaions -> Development), plug the phone in and let it install ADB driver
3. With phone plugged in switch to dialer and hit ##8778#, then switch USB from PDA to Modem. Your PC should install another driver (Diag port).
Make sure you leave the Epic on this screen while accessing it via CDMAWS or any other program that uses the diag port.
I had major issues with the Epic, but that sequence finally got everything working. I still need to plug the phone in before enabling the diag port, otherwise stupid things happen.
This was all with an XP computer (three actually, before I figured out all the correct steps).
Thanks, I'll try that when I get home, I actually haven't tried putting it in diag mode while plugged in yet, I have always put it in diag and connected it...heres hoping..
ok, I finally got the replenish to connect, I found a way to root it and that worked like a charm....the epic however is still a no go...rooted running CWM 5, in diag mode, switched to modem, recognized as a modem....but still..failed...phone does not answer...any other suggestions guys?
Needs download mode not diag mode whatever that is... hold the 1 on the keyboard and the power button (yellow triangle) make sure is not in modem mode and you must flash the kernel from mkasick for ei22 search in xda "epic 4g gb kernel source" should me the first thread (ei22) kernel source with keyfix. Scroll to the bottom and find the gb3a.tar this is what you odin before cwm5 and it should stick. Then you can flash an su.zip and your done.

I was on EL30, which from my understanding worked as well. I flashed the gb3a and I am rooted with CWM and I installed SU, I just still can't get cdmaws to see the phone...I tried fix permissions, in CWM, not even sure what that does, but I tried it...i'm desperate lol. I have tried tether mode, switching ports, attempting while in recovery, and I get nadda....EL30 was what I had factory reset to, are you saying that I should flash back to ei22 for cdma or were you saying to do that to get it rooted?
No my appologies I, just read you rooted correctly. I'm not sure why it refuses to recognize the epic. Other than a better cable, or different usb port. I dunno. That or there is gunk in the epics usb port or in the computers. Should be in modem mode I'm assuming if your messing with the phoney. Stuff ='[ sorry.

OK. I think I've done my due diligence. I've scrubbed the forums for 2 days, I've googled it and I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Friend gives me this rooted LG OGP. Awsome! Works great! Then AT&T or LG sends an OTA update that bricks it :crying:. Read Aryan1312's sticky thread in this forum and get all pieces together. By now I have the 3.8.1 drivers AND the newest 3.10.1 drivers, LGFlashTool 1.8.1.1023, along with the newest 10P TOT file. I got the Flashtool to stop asking for PW and I think I'm ready to go.
But then . . . Plug my phone in and Device Management doesn't know what to do with phone. Reinstall drivers pack from LG website. Still no dice. Hmm. Phone is in Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.3.0 recovery screen (I guess that's what it's called) and computer doesn't know what to make of it. Hmm.
Maybe I can put it onto a microSD card and copy stuff over to phone? Maybe flash a different ROM through TWRP? Let's try that. I copy files over to the external SD card, put it into the phone, restart phone, hello TWRP, Advanced-File Manager option, WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THE EXTERNAL SDCARD??? Isn't it supposed to be there under /extSD?? It's time to ask for help.
Question: How do I get my Win7 PC to see the phone as a removable drive/external drive/whatever you call it so that I can get this info over?
I know that I have to change Port #'s after Win7 sees the phone. I just can't get there . . . yet.
- What I've tried:
Reinstalled drivers (both versions) and restarted between trying to plug phone in.
Tried installing phone drivers manually. Still doesn't mount as external HD as far as Win7 is concerned.
Called friend to ask his opinion. He doesn't remember and tries to tell me this is why Apple is "better".
Scoured the web to see what to do. Found articles about this same thing happening and all point to Stickied Post on this XDA forum
I did RTFM and am still lost.

1. Is the first pic with the phone connected to the pc?
2. If yes, have you tried to manually update drivers, while in device manager
3. I know that this is going to sound funny but have you tried a different USB port. The reason I ask is I had the same problem LG Optimus M and the phone was down for a couple of days. I tried everything and was about to call it quits but for some reason when I changed USB port the computer saw the phone and I was back in business. I am not saying that will 100% work but it is worth a try.

Yes I have. I think I did figure it out though. I put the device into "download mode" and my computer could see, and communicate, the phone.
To put my phone into "download mode" I did the following:
I connected the phone to the computer physically with USB cable
I turned phone off.
I pressed BOTH volume buttons and held the power button while phone was attached to computer.
With BOTH volume buttons still pressed, I released the power button.
The phone screen was black with a little dialog box in the middle saying "download mode"
I could then use LGFlash Tools to flash Stock AT&T TOT file back into phone. Took 519 seconds to complete the stock flash.
New problem arises, After flash, I do NOT have any 3G/4G signal. I can use the phone to make and receive phone calls and text messages, but I CANNOT use mobile internet unless I have it connected via wifi.
I installed the Debloated ROM and "tried" to flash 980 Baseband.zip but when I tried to install baseband, CWM gave me a permission error and said install failed. I haven't been able to use mobile internet since. Any help???
-- Again, sorry for the lengthy post. I figured that I might not be the only person who has gone through this. I see a lot of viewers to the thread so I think other people might be having same troubles as me.

It sound like you need to manually set the APN. Do a Search for your provider.. ie AT&T T-Mobile the setting is under Network/Tethering & Networks/ Mobile networks/ Access point name/ Hit Menu Button and New APN
You are the MAN / WOMAN!! Thanks for the help. That fixed it.
For posterity and to help another "noob" stuck in my case later (maybe months down the line)
This is what I've done up until now in plain text:
Used LGFlashtool to flash AT&T stock "10k" build
Went into Settings Icon>General>Developer Options>check off "USB Debugging"
Used "E980 Universal Root" from forums to gain Root access (verified with "Root Checker" from Playstore)
Used FreeGee to get TWRP recovery installed (rebooted into recovery with "QuickReboot" from Playstore).
Used TWRP recovery to install "E980 Baseband.zip" from forums
Factory Reset
Setup new phone and input APN settings (located in Settings Icon>Networks>Tethering & Networks>Mobile networks>Access point names>Menu button "New APN"/input carrier values/Menu button "Save")
Now that I know how to get back here, I'm going to scrap the stock ROM and try to do this whole process with a custom ROM. . . and another flash-a-holic is born. The learning journey continues.
Welcome:beer:
*KCCO*2SHAYNEZ*E980*
That is what this forum is for.
I have been helped out a lot from the group and I just thought it was time to pay it back. It is good to hear that you got it up and running. But one last word of advise BACK UP, BACK UP, BACK UP, and when that is done, back up the back up to the computer.
Hi everyone,
I want to install stock rom to my device (now Cyanogenmod 14.1 is installed) but Odin doesn't see my device.I tried to install Samsung drivers to my PC but it didn't work.By the way my PC doesn't see the device for media transfer.I also tried with different usb cable.And I tried to select MTP mode but when I restart the device,it comes to back the charging situation again.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:I cleaned my charging port with alcohol and it fixed .
(P.S. don't forget to unplug the battery)
Still makes me wonder why we are forced to depend on a PC to perform this task. Has the tech not advanced from using(or attempting to, in this case) an outdated computer to do this. We keep getting great new tech which have been tossed aside after only a few official updates. We need to demand longer and better support for these often overpriced devices. Maybe we need new and improved hackers.
With all three of the samsung devices that I did successfully root, Odin was always the weakest link in the process. Often, I found that the tabs were recognized, but Odin did not show it onscreen. So it was always a guessing game if it did work as it was supposed to. Odin always gave me grief. And now I have a new Samsung product that needs better updates than ones that they provide. Just keep tweaking your PC settings to grant device access. Good Luck. DeanoD
