Phone not connecting and rooting - Fascinate General

im trying to root my phone but its not working the one click program says phone not connected i already installed drivers... a problem when i try to put phone to usb it says connect but i cant c the drive ....? its not working

What one click program are you trying to use? I gave up on the one click programs after the DL09 update.
Also with DL09 the drive likes to auto mount after a reboot make sure it isn't doing that.
I would recommend following the post here:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...s-hacks/54659-how-rooting-your-fascinate.html
and use post 3.
You can copy paste into the command prompt (one line at a time) making this method easier if you are apprehensive with the command lines.

im trying one click it sayed permission denied

[Q] EVo user trying to root my girls epic

Hey guys I an having the darnest time root this guy should be easy with these one clickers programs.
Pretty sure its a driver thing, note I can see the device when in cmd and doing the adb devices that shows up. just gets hung up at the end there.
attached a pic of what the cmd line looks like
anybody have the current drivers, googling for them just yields me to forum posts asking where the drivers are
thirty views and nothing
ok its not a driver issue if your loading root.sh (the big block of text) the issue is that the adb server isnt starting back up in time in order for your device to be recognized. solution? open up the bat file and copy and paste the commands one at a time; or if you have a linux/osx computer try doing it there with my scripts in my sig
couple ideas..
1.open up the run.bat file in notepad or similar and go through all the commands manually, that way you have control on speed of commands and allow enough time for adb to startup again.
2. open up the run.bat file and increase the wait time in the script.. -w 3000 or something like that..
i would suggest you do commands manually. The one-click root did not work for me but doing things manually worked right away.
How to do it
Hey man this is how I got it to work. I was having all the problems device not found etc etc. Have been trying since Sunday. What I finally did after installing the drivers was restart the computer and Phone. After that i tried to run the program it failed with device not found again so i unplugged the usb cable from the phone and closed the cmd window. And also brought up Task manager and killed the adb.exe process. then i reran the run.bat file and this time when it gets to the adb restart relogin apart i killed the SMALLEST ADB.EXE IN THE PROCESS TAB OF TASK MANAGER and that is when it finally got it to work. Had to do the same when I tested it with the uninstaller. So that seems to work. If anyone has any questions feel free to pm me.
But thank god it finally worked.
David
other people have done this and it worked for them also.
I tried all kinds of stuff ultimately I ended up using an xp machine. I later remembered the whole xp mode in windows 7 but didn't actually try it ... win7 just gave me a hard time although the post about changing the amount of time to restart adb makes sense

will try all of that thankyou gents

[Q] rooting problem: "device not found"

Hi: I'm a long time lurker here on xda-dev, but I'm a first time rooter and this is my first time posting here.
I appreciate any help that I can get, and I will try to be as descriptive as possible so that I don't waste anyone's time. You should know that I am running OS X 10.6.7 (which is 64 bit if that makes a difference). I know that it's possible to root from OS X because I've been in contact with a fellow xda'er about his success with it and my subsequent problems. You will notice from the screenshots that I have a bootcamp partition because I plan on installing Windows 7 at some later time. I think that this may be a driver issue, but really dunno why I would have this driver problem if the person who I know has had success with OS X 10.6.7 didn't have any problems. Not sure if this matters, but I am using this sdcard: http://amzn.com/B003WGJYCY
Things that I've done that you might ask me if I've done:
-Debugging is on (I've toggled it a few times too)
-temprooted with Visionary
-Extracted the Shift file to the root of my sd card
-Checked the md5 of the file in Shift using Terminal emulator (it matches what the guide says it should be)
-Reinstalled the SDK
-Reinstalled Visionary
-Re-Extracted the 'Shift' file to my sdcard.
I am trying to root my shift following this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932153
I have installed Android SDK and for have installed the packages that you can see in this screen shot: http://oi55.tinypic.com/2dvimb6.jpg
I then temprooted using Visionary: After a few failed temproots, I did get a successful temproot, which I am verified by gaining SU with the app Terminal Emulator.
I open up command prompt and do the commands that you can see in this screenshot and as you can see after ./adb shell I get "error: device not found" : http://oi51.tinypic.com/2ztcymt.jpg
As you can see, I can open adb, but the adb shell command returns an error that no device is found. I've also done this: http://oi51.tinypic.com/264t6o5.jpg
So, what do you think?
i forgot to mention that my phone is in charge only mode when I execute ./adb shell
is it connected to a 2.0 USB port?
Also have you tried restarting your phone and mac?
I also saw on another forum that Superuser had to be uninstalled then try temp rooting again.
Also are you keeping an eye on your phone while trying to gain su access? You have to click yes when it asks if you wanna give permission.
You could always try rooting via terminal on the phone. That's what I did, no PC involved.
^ Shift Faced
Thanks for your responses.
I assume these are USB 2.0 ports on my 2010 MacBook Pro. I've uninstalled superuser a couple of times, but when I use terminal emulator to check if I'm temprooted, it shows back up in my apps list.
I have never had the option of giving adb superuser permissions, but yes I have kept my eye on the phone to make sure that the phone wasn't requesting this.
@jesusice -- even though I did the md5 check on the phone, I never thought of rooting the phone through terminal emulator. Would I just follow the directions from the guide, and just input all of the commands into terminal emulator? Anything else I should know about if I try this?

That's what I did. Had been waiting for perm root so long and was so excited I couldn't stand to wait until I got home and just put the commands into terminal on the phone. Just make sure that you input all commands EXACTLY. It was recommended by others to do it from desktop so you can be sure and copy and paste the commands so as to cutdown on errors but I'm not sure why... I can copy and paste from the phone It's just kinda a pita.
^ Shift Faced
Does the phone have to be plugged in the wall or into the computer at all to do this without a computer?

Nope.

So, there is no adb commands, you just flash the "eng spl" , correct?
I rooted without a computer. Thanks!

Sounds like either you're not in the correct directory with your CMD window, or you didn't extract the files properly. Try extracting them again to a folder on your c: then open a cmd window there. Nvflash is really a simple app. Also, make sure you are in apx mode. Should see a icon in windows task bar, or you can check device manager.
A little tip, do search for cmd.exe on your pc, and then copy it to the folder where you would like to use it. Much easier than cd (change directory) or any other way that I know short of adding it to your right click menu. I keep a copy of it on my desktop so I can copy/paste it anywhere that I need it.
Make sure you installed the Acer drivers. At first I didn't b/c I had working ADB. You need those Acer drivers for the APX driver in there. I wasted an hour or two on that one!

I've tried that even tried a reinstall I'm pretty sure I'm typing in the commands wrong or when it says open cmd on V6-Unlocked-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-CWM folder I'm not sure does that mean just open up cmd and input that directory and then the commands or what?

Connect tablet to pc, make sure you are in apx mode , open the folder V6-unlocked.......... and click on the .bat that you want to run. It should start , no need to open cmd on the folder .
I got stuck but in different way altogether.
if you don't mind going back to 3.2.1 for a few minutes then I suggest doing that. it also installed CWM to which you can install your chosen ROM.
then after this you could just use blackthunders apx tool to flash your chosen bootloader.
I know your problem is totally different to mine and looks like you are just not in the right directory while trying to use nvflash but the way I suggest was very easy and works.
I cant post links right now but if you look in the thread for unlocking bootloader then I posted a link which should help you do it this way. its on page 47.
hope u get it sorted I spent many hours yesterday always getting stuck at various points but after many hours found an easier way.
cheers

Sweet I'll try civatos way then if that doesn't work I'll give it a shot I'm still on honeycomb boot loader so why not ;-) thnx again for the help......how does black thunders tool work sorry for incompetence I thought I knew about tech :'( any help would be appreciated
its basically GUI program which installs a bootloader of your choice in a few clicks.
of course u dont need the ICS bootloader if you were to choose to install FLEXREAPER rom after going through my method.
just install it by the recovery menu after going back to 3.2.1.
cheers
EDIT: If your already on the honeycomb bootlaoder (just noticed) you should be able to do it pretty easy and civatos way will work fine
Dug up this old threaad because i didnt feel the need to create a new one and still never solved this :/ no matter what i do it seems i get stuck at entering downoad mode it enters apx mode fine but wont enter download mode im on ics locked bootloader and have tried uninstall reinstall of drivers multiple times also tried switching pc's. Is there any preferred os to do this on? and does 64 bit vs 32bit matter?
Edit.....nevermind guys tried on a whole different comp and worked fine

any idea what the problem might be??
underwaterjr said:
Sorry I got tied up. If it doesn't list any devices you don't have adb set up yet. First go into settings on your device, you have to enable developer options by going into about tablet and scroll down to bottom and tap build number about seven times, it will tell you when your getting close. Then go into developer options and enable android debugging. Now plug your tablet into computer and you should get a pop up asking you if this computer is ok for debugging or something like that so enable it or say yes what ever the option is. Sorry doing this from memory so can't tell you exactly verbatim what those popup prompts say. Now for debugging on the computer end. I don't know how long you've had the sdk on your computer so just make sure its up to date by opening the sdk manager and check for any updates. In order for adb to work with 4.2.2 you need the latest tools. Ok so with all that done now open a cmd window and navigate to your platform-tools folder and try adb devices again. you should get a read out of some numbers after that. Let me know if that works and we can proceed. Good luck!

VS980 root troubles

Hey guys ive been pretty stoked to root and rom my g2 now that im bored of LG's UI haha i have been trying to use the IOroot method but something about the drivers is giving me such a hard time! i installed them but every time i open a command window and type in "adb devices" nothing is coming up so obviously its not being able to read my device which isnt alowing me to root my phone any help would be greatly appriciated! thanks in advance
I was having trouble, finally went to LG site to download drivers

adb is a special android thing. You need to install it to just use it anywhere. Do this:
1. Create a folder on your desktop (you can call it root or whatever you want).
2. Extract IORoot into folder created in step one.
3. SHIFT RIGHT CLICK and do "open command window here" (This is the most important).
4. type
Code:
adb devices
5. if you devices shows run the root.bat file to root your device.
Look at this for a little more help.

This is just a thought, but maybe, power the phone off, power the PC off. Turn them both back on, re-read the instructions on how to root the phone. It sort of sounds like you could be missing just a little thing on the instructions. You may also try a different USB port on your PC too. I rooted mine back on iRoot 6 so I would have to think that iRoot 10 should be better then what I used.

It has been a while sense I rooted mine, but I think the fix for me was getting the drivers from the LG Site and using the LG Flash tool.

I had the same issue. I installed these lg drivers, not sure if they had anything to do with it because it still didn't work. What finally worked was when I turned off debug and may have been in mtp connection. Obviously after you have to put back in debug and ethernet connection to follow the ioroot method.

unfortunatly with ethernet on i am still getting the same results... its just not recognizing my device? at least now in the notification bar i get the notification that USB debugging is on so i guess im making progress? uggh this is getting pretty annoying any thoughts guys?
Run it directly from local drive root. IE C:/ Windows 7? Control alt delete. End the stale adb process, you should see two, one not performing sitting around 2000 kb ram and the other using ram. End that and it should force adb to kick in. I had to do this on win 7 multiple times with dif phones. It's like it locks up when finding the com port or whatever the hell it's doing. I take no blame if you screw up your device this way. I have resorted to a virtual xp for all my phone needs as not everything works in Linux.
Here's how rooted my phone with IORoot:
Unzipped IORoot to root of my hard drive
Plugged in phone with usb (make sure debug mode is enabled). When prompted to choose connection, choose modem. You should see debug icon appear in status bar. If not, choose Ethernet.
Opened IORoot folder. Hold down shift and right click an empty area and choose 'open command window'
Type adb devices. If device shows up, proceed. With normal root procedure.

Not sure if it matters but I am running 64 bit Windows 8
- In the instructions didn't you have to change a setting for the Com Port to get it to see the phone??
- Did you ever get the prompt on your phone to accept the Connection. I can not remember what it was, but it only comes up once, and I am not referring to the USB connection IE Ethernet??
- Are you sure you have Developer Options turned on?? The step where you keep tapping on the Developer thing and then the phone finally gives you the Developer Options??
