so here is a little background:
i rooted my phone, unlocked it, etc. then i wanted to try a new rom.
so i went to TWRP recovery and i formatted the whole phone. like literally wiped everything off it.
with some tinkering i was finally able to use the root toolkit to get a rom back on my phone so that i could boot it up.
but now it wont recognize my ABD drivers, or it does.... it shows up at NEXUS4 on my computer.
however i cant add anything to my phone via my computer. or take any of the pictures off of it.
it wont let me mount it or do anything. i am able to DL roms to my phone and do it that way.
but what i would like to be able to do is get it back to the normal. were i can add stuff to it via my computer.
sure there are work arounds like dropbox and other file cloud services. but still.... it bugs me
PLEASE HELP!! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!
Are you trying to add/remove files using ADB or MTP?
so this is weird..... i just tried it to take a screenshot and show u..... but it seems like it is working now.... i dont know how to explain this other than flashing a newer bettter rom must have fixed it.... INTERESTING thanks for the help anyways
Glad things worked out for you

Used the 1 click method to root the Vibrant, overclocked it, and did the lag fix. Was getting horrible distortion when on calls, using the Vibrant 2.1 Vanilla ROM, so I decided to 1 click unroot. For some reason upadate.zip was not on my SD but on phone HD so the unroot was unsuccessfull. Now Im stuck with the root, recovery mode allows me to select reinstal packages - nothing happens - and I'm back to the same rom/root - once phone reboots. I even put the update.zip back on the sd - but phone is not recognizing it or installing it for some reason. I somehow lost superuser as well. Please help me get back to unroot - if its possible!
Thanks
i'm a noob here too. but this happened to me before (the pc doesnt recgnze the sd card or phone storage. )
just place in one of the drive that PC recognize and then use eStrong or some file manager to copy & paste it... hope this help..
Dropbox is a nice tool too.. figure it out.. it's really useful
I will definitely try that! Thanks. I tried downloading/installing Titanium Backup - as I previously backed up apps - it asked for Busy Box, which disappeared! I downloaded busy Box - it said my phone was not rooted! WTF! It looks rooted - just like Vanilla ROM - defiantly not like stock, when I bought it. I just hope I didnt mess it up. After i initially "1 click" unrooted - I thought it had worked, I restored phone to factory settings - this might also be causing my predicament! I just cant get passed the , reinstall packages, in the boot menu, like before - phone reboots itself right away, after partially/or not at all installing the update.zip from SD!
I think I may need a manual way of getting unrooted/ back to stock!
Please help! Phone works fine otherwise - just looks like the Vanila Rom and root, without any of the benefits!
boot into download mode and flash back to stock using ODIN if you look around you should be able to find some tutorials for it. You'll need to have the android SDK and samsung's drivers installed on your PC though
OK, thanks - sounds like I have to reroot my Vibrant, since it has a lot of the root stuff missing afyter I accidently reset to factory settings while rooted! After I root Ill just have to unroot, right!
Ill look for tutorials, thanks!
Okay first of all, let me start by saying this is my first post and I AM a noob, so be patient.
Okay, my problem is that I can't root my Sprint Samsung Intercept. I've tried SuperOneClick, Z4Root, Universal Androot, and some other one. NOTHING has worked. The SuperOneClick somewhat worked, it installed SuperUser but when I downloaded apps that require a root, they said my device isn't rooted.
I'm with Sprint and running 2.2.1.
Pease help because this is driving me crazy!!
i dont know how this stuff works either but my brother has that phone. it could be your usb isn't reading. or rather, your computer isn't recognizing the device. google samsung intercept usb and you'll see a lot of issues. this may not be your problem but its better to tell you just in case. so far for his cell phone, because he wants to tether it to his computer, so far nothing works. not downloading the right drivers. loading without debugging. mounting the sd card. thats one big solution that hasn't worked. i have high hopes for this other fix, to load samsung pc studio. New_PC_Studio_1.4.0.IL2_4.exe is the file. you can google and find it.
this site has some info. if it works and i remember to, ill repost and let you know.
en.kioskea (take out space, insert a dot)net/forum/affich-240949-samsung-sgh-f480-usb-driver-problem
hope this helps. if not then good luck. and heck if anyone else knows why exactly it does this and a real fix other than the whole disable usb debugger issue. then let me know. i even thought about trying to load the sdk for android to see if that would create some sort of connection with the phone and computer. thanks and take care
hope this helps
sdx-developers is the best place for intercept developement
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...ructions-on-rooting-spring-samsung-intercept/
follow the first step to get SWUpgrade setup (the rest is instructions for eclaire [pretty sure])
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...-2-2-(easy-root-via-swupgrade)-(battery-mod)/
flash this kernal with SWUpgrade and youll be rooted.
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...important-features-working!)-(updated-11311)/
i assume youll be wanting a recovery as well i recommend cm01 get the tar and flash it just like the kernal
intercept doesnt have many custom roms but there is tons of mods you can apply to the stock rom
I tried SWUpgrade and I bricked my last phone but it didn't matter because it was already defective.
Sent from my SPH-M910 using XDA App
did you patch SWUpgrade? delete everything in the binary folder except the file you were trying to flash?
ive never had a problem with it. it even saved me from quite a few softbricks in the short time ive had my intercept.
I did everything the videos and forums said to do. When I did that I got a different kernal but I couldn't get any service, my phone would restart every 2-5 minutes, and it would randomly vibrate. Until I got another one. I finally got SuperOneClick to get passed the "waiting for device" stage and I supposedy rooted my phone, when I tried to install apps that required root access they said my device is not rooted.

Hey guys, so after hours of trying to figure out what i've done, i need some help
I had a fully working Nexus last night. I'd unlocked, rooted it and installed a custom rom a few weeks ago and everything was fine. Tonight for some reason i decided i wanted a fresh install, and stupidly deleted the entire internal storage off, and then wiped the Nexus before realising i hadn't put the zips back on to reinstall. So the Nexus is without an OS and completely empty. I can get onto bootloader, and into recovery, but i have nothing on the Nexus to use to recover or install anything. I have backups and fresh custom rom zips on my pc but i can't get them to the Nexus. I'm also struggling to be able to do anything using Wugs Toolkit, because it keeps saying it can't find fastboot or adb depending on what options i try. And i can't turn USB debugging on because i have no OS
I tried to reinstall the adb drivers and could see the nexus internal storage on my pc for a minute but it wouldn't let me copy anything onto it. Now i can't seem to see it again. As for fastboot, it keeps saying it can't be found. So at this point i'm clueless, and googling around is confusing me more and more as i have no idea about any of that stuff. The automatic toolkit is as far as my knowledge goes
Update: i tried using the SDK to use cmd prompt to put it back to stock, but it seems to be stuck on the screen with the red, yellow, green and blue circles now?
Update #2: used an updated adb/fastboot installer, after that my Nexus was actually being seen in Wugs Toolkit. Used the flash & unroot option, and i'm back on my device =) hoping i'll be able to re-root and reinstall my custom rom with no problems now *fingers crossed*
Update #3: Yay all fixed. No idea how i did that but thank goodness that's over with. Not sure how to delete my thread, sorry
For future reference try skipping the toolkits, if you do this manually there is far less likely to be communication issues or others at that
Glad it all worked in the end!
Hi everyone,
I just want to ask for tips and recommendations to resolve my problem on my phone. I used TWRP to root the phone but failed and i also used kingo root apk apps on it but still failed. But after that, my phone just shut down and when i open it, it no longer boot and stocked in the samsung logo blinking. I tried KIES and ODIN apps to recover my phone in download mode but my computer didn't detect my phone. I tried also to wipe-up data using the TWRP progam on boot loader. I am not sure if was able to enable the USB Debugging on my device. What i want to try is if i can install the firmware of my phone using the TWRP but i just dont know what to do or what i needed to download. i downloaded the stock firmware of the phone but when i tried the TWRP to install it, it didnt work. I already go to the repair center but they just did what i did and they also failed to do. Please help me guys. I know that lots of members here are generous and willing to help each other. Thanks

Hey there,
First off, you can't flash stock firmware through custom recoveries. It can be done only with Odin or Heimdall.
Second, make sure you use the back USB ports of the computer and also try different windows versions.
Wiping data through recovery doesn't help because root apps are usually installed on the system partition.
You could probably flash a custom rom on it. It will at least get the phone working again. You can go from there.
Good luck.

Thank you.
Is the USB Debugging Option has nothing to do with the computer to detect my phone. The technician told me that they will replace the USB female socket on my phone because it was defective. I will spend much on the replacement yet i'm afraid it might not still work. The idea of installing a custom roms might work as you have said. I will try that.

The computer should detect your device no matter what. I mean, how else would you transfer files between the two, since USB debugging is disabled by default.

You made me believe more that I can still restore my device. I thank you for the great support. I will do my best.
Hello everyone,
I have wiped everything using the TWR recovery boot option in a really poor attempt to unroot my phone since it was behaving strangely.
Now it look like my OS is gone and the phone cannot be recognized anymore by my PCs even if I install the appropriate drivers manually.
Since it is no longer possible for me to attempt to flash the phone with a stock firmware using odin, I have attempted transfering the file on the phone using the sd card and installing it through the TWR recovery menu however it does not seem to be a possible option.
Does anyone have any advice to propose to restore the phone with a working OS?
It should still be able to load a recovery file from TWR, I am just unsure where I could get these since they differ from ROMs available everywhere else, I can also make change directly to the device drive using the file explorer so worst case scenario, I suppose it could be possible to copy past all the content of an image over there via the sd card.
Thanks
what happens when you put it into download mode and connect it to a computer? can you even get to odin mode? there is a way to ADB an OS onto it , but its pretty particular and usually not necessary.

The download mode seems functionnal on the phone, however the phone is not recognized by any PC which render it useless. My guess is that some files or driver on the phone side got deleted and it is no longer sending the right information to the machines it connects to.
Loading ADB into the OS seems like a neat idea, I didnt know it was possible. I am just unsure if flashing from within the phone is functionnal, my guess is that it probably work, but it is perhaps just a little riskier than doing it from an external device.
Thanks, I will try that, if you have any further advice, let me know
Edit : Oh I just realized you said to ADB an OS into it, yeah I don't thinks its possible, since nothing recognize the phone.
Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers on your computer? Tried a few different computers? And, more likely to be successful, a few different cables?

Yes, it also worked perfectly fine a minute before everything get wiped. I am pretty confident the only way to get it back working would be to copy the files into the phone manually, I am just unsure what files I should copy to the root since I have never seen how it usually look.
That's weird because I don't know of a way to wipe stuff in such a way to remove the capability of Odin connecting to a computer

Hmmm I went on cyaogenMod and installed it on my device using the sdcard. Unsure why the stock OS wouldn't work, but at least now the phone is functional.
The phone is still not recognized but it seems like it is slightly better, it now displays as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). Which is better than getting disconnected right away from the computer. Now it probably just is a matter of fixing the drivers or the phone further since I have messed around a lot since everything stopped working.
Alright thanks a lot, it didnt occur to me that I probably could install other roms. Im still unsure whether or not I should stick with it but thats the least of my worries right now

have you tried a different version of odin? or at least a new download of it? does your computer recognize it when its booted up?
