Could anyone please help me out. I need a recovery drive for windows 8 so that I can boot into advance settings via USB.
I am in desperate need here, I can't get my computer to start up anymore past the desktop screen, unfortunately that's where it just freezes on me :banghead:

Did you delete your recovery volume? Or did you install Win8 yourself so you never had one? If you installed from a DVD or Flashdrive, you can use that to access the recovery features.

Yeah, I installed it myself from a torrent file. So I never had one and also never got a chance to make a recovery flash drive either

My laptop with vista home premium no longer allows me to view my sd card on my epic when connected thru the usb. I have the the samsung driver installed. I was able to root my phone and even went back to stock using odin in order to apply the update and reroot. All I am trying to do now is copy some mp3s on my sd card.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Is that a windows program or android app?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I am a newb when it comes to android, so please bear with me. I cannot for the life of me get my Continuum dl17 unrooted to mount on my computer. I use a late 2010 13" MacBook pro (10.6.6) as my main rig, with VMWare Fusion installed. I have an XP clone, a Win 7 clone and a Ubuntu clone. I am unsuccessful mounting the phone in any of these.
When I first connect the phone to any of the computers/virtual machines I see what looks like a Verizon CD that tries to install the driver (No Mac Driver | I'll get to that later) The CD the disappears, I swipe down the notifications on the phone and choose Mount the SD to no avail.
I downloaded the drivers from Samsung...nothing. I have tried mounting with USB debugging and without...nothing.
When I try to mount to the Mac I get an error that the Mac cannot read the disk and do I want to initialize. (oddly enough If I unmount the sd card and put it in my card reader I can transfer files just fine using the Mac)
I really want to root the phone, but that is impossible when you cannot get the phone to be recognized my your computer.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (BTW I have tried everything that I could find to troubleshoot this before I posted)
Thanks
The DL17 update broke the USB functionality on the Continuum. Please, complain LOUDLY to Verizon. If you can get an unupdated phone as a trade-in that might be best.

Weudel,
Thank you! I will complain LOUDLY to Verizon.
Yeah, I don't believe z4root works after the update, either, at least it didn't for me. Don't you have a friend with a pc? It doesn't take long to root...

You don't need USB storage to root, just turn on debugging.

I have the DL17 on my SCH-I400 and I just managed to connect to it via ADB (thanks to this post).
Can you explain what you mean by "broke the USB functionality"?
I've been running Mac OS Lion for the last almost 2 months on my Alienware M11x, so I know the pain of trying to get the Continuum to mount on a Mac. It won't work unless you're running a Froyo ROM. There isn't an easier answer, believe me, I tried!
Even then, when running Froyo, USB debugging will time out after a few minutes. I'm going to flash EC07, and see if it improves that problem.
hello everyone,

hi. could you connect Kindle HD to PC and run command: adb nodaemon server
put there your output
output is: cannot bind 'tcp:5037'
(now when i type adb device the daemon is running and it seems to be recognized by adb but still not as external drive)
Try going into terminal if you have your kindle fire ROOT already and run

it works, as a temporary solution it could be fine, but you know it's kinda slow expecially for music and video files (neither windows media player sees my kfhd). but thank you for this solution in the meantime

So what's the problem? You have an ADB connection. Use it to push files to your sdcard.

i'd prefere to transfer my files in a normal way, like an external hd (it's a bit intricate using adb when you could just drag and drop in a folder)

Really? Because I didn't see anything of the sort. You'll have to forgive me for assuming the worst as that is what I'm used to seeing around here.
When you plug your device in, (assuming you haven't installed a custom ROM), what shows up in your device manager?

MTP cannot work while debugging is on BTW, turn it off and try again.
I have tried multiple times to get Odin working on all 3 of my Mac computers, there is this JOdin3 thing that is supposed to work for macs. Sadly it will not work. It can't find the pit file. Is ther any other way for us mac users? If not, will there ever be a way? Any bit of info can be helpful. I was rooted and running custom Roms before, but I had to bring my phone back to stock to take it into Verizon and now I am stuck with no root again.
Thanks in advance!!

I was never able to get JOdin to work on either of mine. One thought would be to try regular odin in a virtual machine, but I can't say if that works(I have a backup windows desktop).
Good luck!

A VM dosen't work with Odin on linux so I'm pretty sure it won't on a Mac. I had to use my wifes laptop with Windows for Odin.

From what ive heard its highly suggested to NOT use a vm or you could brick your phone, i couldnt even get the vm to detect my phone(which is what lead to research and finding out not to do it that way), I'd say in any case your only option really is indeed using a windows machine by whatever means unless someone magically produces a pit file(which is what heimdall/jOdin require) for our phone.

It's not the pit file with heimdall it's the large tar that is the problem as stated in this thread. We have a pit file. We can use ADB to push the files but that's very risky too.

In my case the VM works for me on linux and detects my phone but when I rebooted into download mode Odin would not detect the phone. As Rakuu said it is highly suggested not to go that route. So for the OP as he said, go with the cheap Windows machine to stay on the safe side.
