I was in the process of taking my Nexus 7 back to stock yesterday it started giving errors from fastboot. My device is completely wiped clean. Can't boot into recovery since there isnt one, there is no system to boot into, etc. I tried to install 4.2.2 via the toolkit and manually from fastboot and I keep getting errors. The most recent one is no such device or address found. The only the only thing that I have been successful in doing this entire time is oem lock and unlock. I read somewhere else that someone had a similar issue and that fixed it. I have tried every different port on my laptop and every different cable I can find. I haven't used the OEM ASUS cable since i cant find it, but I think it is at work so that the last one I can think of.
Can anyone offer any help or solutions? I've had the worst luck int he last three days with my devices. I've never had a potential bricking issue since my G1 and now i can't seem to avoid them. Any help is greatly appreciated. I can provide screenshots of the errors if that would help as well.
EDIT
Turns out it wasn't a bad device or any of the million cables. It was a bad laptop. I was finally able to get the drivers to install on my win8 desktop and it all went as it should.
Hi all,
I recently decided on trying my hand at rooting my s5, have done my research and this is where i wanted to take my phone, and where to come for help.
Ive gone through Odin v3.07 and no COM's would register, i tried tool kit but it wouldn't start after i installed drivers and such, there was a third one i found through threads in here as well but to no avail, nothing has proved any results.
so this is where you all can swoop in and save the day, when I used Odin (which seems to yield the furthest results) the only trouble im having is opening my phone in the ID:COM section. When I plug my s5 into my linux mint 10.something hp notebook (which could be the whole problem all together), with a v2 or v3 usb it registers as gFTP and I can do very little with the files there. like i noted above, toolbox didnt even open, nor could i even figure out what to do with the third thing i tried using. so, my last resort, a community that actually knows what they're doing...
What advice/guidance can you all pert to me? what do you think the problem might be? do i need to perform a factor reset to root my phone? is it the operating systems i am working on? i tried briefly on a mac osx 10. something and now am on a linux mint.
i am not very tech savy but can pick things up fairly quickly, so pretend im dumb and give explicit detail and i will pick up what you miight be talking about more easily.
P.S. I am NOT a robot lol
I have been searching through different android support pages today and everyone seems to resolve their rooting issues easily. though their solutions dont seem to provide me with any answers. i can list any info needed for further diagnostics, but to label a few outright, i have enabled usb debugging in developer mode, tried different usb ports and before/after phone is in downlaod mode, i have SM_G900P 4.4.4 and anything else you need, to help me
Alright, Wow a lot has changed here since I got the Note 4!! I no longer use it since I got the A9 from HTC after this one went kaput. Heres the sitch'.....I am super frustrated since the issue I have is a lot like many others ive read all over the internet with just one difference...the USB is not being recognized so I can't use Odin....yes I have tried many different computers, cables etc....the thing was and is still new bout 6 months old before i messed it up so I cant believe that something would or could have easily fried the USB port already. Nothing I have done comes to mind where that could have occurred and could be bad luck getting bad port from the start but unlikely...SO....making it worse is I can boot to stock recovery and the weirdest thing happens when I try to pick any option other than wipe cache or factory reset....it comes up and says dm verity failed, whatever option i chose is disabled!! WTH??? I have been in this awhile so this isnt my first rodeo by far and I have yet to see this.
My question is....HOW can this be fixed...counting out replacing the USB port(that may not be the major cause), I am not sure JTAG will work....most other options all require some sort of PC to Mobile connection to be working and I can't ever get QPST through QXDM to see it( i may be doing it wrong or missing a step....possible since Ive found most instructions to be missing vital information, especially for some of us who may be more green), AND Ive tried creating bootable sd card to use in download mode. The latter option is also very hard to find complete information on process and files needed to properly do so pertaining to this specific variant. The stock recovery i think woukld be the best bet but HOW CAN I ENABLE the options in recovery that are now disable???
I apologize to anyone annoyed if I am asking a question that is often asked.....bear in mind I have another handset I am working on that is completely different that takes up way more time lol, I have searched for weeks on this issue and nothing substantial can be found thanks to to much incomplete information given out AND no one seems to know how to fixed the recovery issue or even had it. Any help will be totally appreciated.....Thanks
I have been going nuts as of late trying to figure what happened with my Moto G4+. It was working fine, could connect to my pc no problem, then all of a sudden out of the blue, nothing. It only connects as a charger. I've checked it with different USB cables, different ports, even 3 different computers. Still will only connect as a charger. I've even tried it in recovery mode, still not recognized by any computer. I have not restored the phone as of yet due to a ton of pictures and whatsapp chats that I need to save. I have installed Xender to start to move some stuff off the phone, but I'm not too sure that a factory restore would help this. I have read that it could be a USB issue with the phone, either the port or the chip it uses itself. While I know I can replace the port, the chip is beyond what I have equipment for. I have turned on developer mode, and its set the USB mode to MTP by default, I've tried changing it to PTP as well, but the phone will only charge and is never recognized by the pc. All software and drivers have been updated, uninstalled thoroughly, reinstalled multiple times to no avail.
Is there any chance that this IS some form of software thing? Or am i just going to have to use the Zender app to move things between my phone and pc from now on. Until I can possibly send it off to Lenovo since it IS under warranty.
Any help is appreciated.
Just got off the phone with Lenovo/Motorola, and they are giving me the option that I wasn't wanting to hear, do a complete factory reset on the phone after removing the account information from the phone. Gee, that's what I was trying to avoid. Looks like I'll have to figure a way to completely back up the phone via wireless and hope I can save all my data needed to restore it later.
Will be trying the factory reset, but I'm not feeling very good about this at the moment. Will update later when I can get this done. But in the meantime, please suggestions.
Thank you again.
Provide some more info about what ROM you're running, etc... The more info you can provide about your situation, the more likely you're gonna be helped.
What ROM:
Stock? If so, what version and security patch?
Custom ROM? If so, which one and build date..?
I also have the xt1644 and don't have any issues whatsoever connecting to my Laptop, granted I run Linux on my personal PC. I also have zero trouble connecting to the PC's at my work which all run Windoze.
You mentioned you've tried connecting to your PC thru Recovery, so I would have to assume you have TWRP installed, no? If so, which version and by whom?
I'm running full stock room, no mods, build NJPS25.93-14-4, security patch of March 1, 2017. As for the recovery mode, that was the stock recover/bootloader. To where it should be raw adp mode. Even in that mode it is never seen by the computers I've tried. I can't install the newest security update because it won't mount internal nor external memory. I'm at work at the moment and if you need any more information, please let me know.
Thank you

Did the factory reset work? As I'm suffering from a similar problem
Have not done the reset yet, still finding the best way to back up everything, plus finding the time. Will be doing it sometime this weekend though
I just did the compete factory reset, and as i feared, it made no difference. So all my data is gone (saved what I could) and will have to figure a way to get a backup phone working while I have to send off the phone for repair. At least it's under warranty.
I have the same problem. I didn't do the factory reset (yet), but you confirmed my fear, the factory reset won't fix it. Too bad my phone isn't under warranty anymore.
Did you send it for repair?
What was the problem after all?
My XT1640 seems to be falling apart. Bluetooth stoped working out of the blue. Can't read SD card anymore and now USB connection isn't working.
My apologies for not doing a follow up post. I was able to send it back to Lenovo and the replaced the phone so it's back up and running fine. If it's out of warranty, then I'm not sure what avenue you can take aside from maybe finding one that's got severe screen damage but a good non blacklisted board and change it out. Aside from that, I can't tell you what they found wrong with it. I would assume the usb chip may have gone out, but without knowing the fate of my original phone, I can't say.
Guys im at my wits end here. I dont know much about the phone lingo but I know how to follower directions. I was trying to install lineage OS onto my note 8 but there is just no OEM options in the setting no matter what Ive tried from google. The lunatics posting just change the date bro driving me up the wall it doesnt do anthing. Ive wiped my phone and been at this about 5 hours into the night here trying to get it to work. I cant get odin to flash ANYTHING onto it just bunches of errors. I would really like to get this done as my note8 doesnt work with visible and im hoping a new OS will help seeing as people said with flashes theyve gotten visible to work on it fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated
