Hey guys. I had an essential phone for a few months and I thought it was working fine. Howevor, I recently found out that something is wrong with the type c port; they dont work with type c earphones. Im trying to root my phone but I cant even get the bootloader unlocked. I have tried many diffrent things but I cannot get my pc to recognize my phone.
Is there a way to unlock bootloader without a pc?

Essential sometimes does not play well with 3.0 or higher. USB 2.0 recommended

Hope you got it solved.
I had the same problem.
For me it was:
1. Cable (bought phone used. No oem available.)
2. Used my USB 2.0 port
3. And VirtualBox running win10. Normally my Linux works best. But in this case, I have to use windows
"Some users have reported issues when flashing or sideloading using a USB 2.0 cable. The cable included with PH-1 is USB 2.0 and is primarily intended for charging. If you're flashing or sideloading PH-1, we recommend using a high-quality, spec-compliant USB 3.0 (or higher) cable." - Straight from Essential's website, Developers section. I have done all my tinkering with a 3.0 cable so far.\
I would try using a different computer and cable to see if you can communicate with the device.

So I run a CM10 nightly with franco.kernel r25. My USB drive mounts without the need for StickMount.
This is purely a curiosity question. I can DirectoryBind without issues as well.
So is USB support built in to CM? I didn't see USB storage as a feature of franco.kernel.
Thanks XDA!
Most full featured roms for the n7 will have this built into it. I have never used stickmount with any rom and external sds have always worked

I'm using smooth ROM but when I connect a USB flash drive it doesn't connect even when I try to use stickmount but nothing any help would be greatly appreciated. Also could it be a certain micro USB cable?

Woops, accidental thanks. Freebie to you!!!
Anyhow, youn said micro usb cable. You need an otg cable. Is that what you meant? If so, yes, there are different types of otg cables that work on different devices and not on others. You need to make sure yours is compatible with the n7.
OP- It is called "Automatic usb hotplug" support. It is not really a rom feature, but a kernel feature. M Kernel a24 now also supports this on 4.2.1.

I'm currently running a 4.2.2 ROM both on my Razr M and Incredible. Whenever I run adb devices, it will not list anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
USB is broken on 4.2 for now. Try restarting while plugged in, it may recognize it then. Make sure USB debugging is on too

Thanks for your suggestion but that is what I have been doing for most of the day before I turned to this particular forum to ask. And so far any suggestions I've found have not yielded anything positive for me. Drivers are up to date and I have version 1.0.31 of adb. Debugging has been turned on. Are you on a 4.2.2 ROM on your phone? Are you able to plug in your device to a PC and run adb devices and have your particular phone show up?

No problem. I think that's an issue with the USB drivers on the phone... Not really sure why it works when you restart but it's a minor annoyance.

I have just gotten this phone and I love it ...perfect performance and size. However I have a little issue with windows 7 64 bit and using the bp tool feature on the phone to do some changes like update manual the 3G prl file.
I tried every freaking driver known to man and none of them resolves this driver issue. again I'm windows 7 64 bit..I have download the latest and still with no luck
can someone please help me find what I need before I lose my mind...

I got them from the motorola Website and also installed what the auto start up when you connect it to the computer and neither will work.
I got mine from moto as well... Using 64x win 7 pro... Maybe do the basic trouble shooting... Reboot PC ... Alternate cable and port... Uninstall drivers... Reinstall drivers... Use a port on the back of the PC rather then the front... No hub... No extension... Stuff of that nature

I tried it again with no luck...removed all drivers from the pc...rebooted ...installed again with the latest drivers rebooted again plugged in with a brand new usb cable that came with this new phone, plugged directly back into usb 2.0 ports and still not a darn driver was installed. I wonder if motorola changed something on the Razr M as this is a brand new phone from verizon. I'm running windows Factory Windows 7 64 bit. I even tried this same thing on another computer running the same and got the same results. I tried various drivers from various websites for flashing and rooting and none of those helped either ...this has me stumbed. Issue with the phone maybe
Have your phone setup for USB debugging in settings?
I also think there's a toggle somewhere to use phone for USB or media storage.
I have Win 7 64bit at home and sometimes its finicky.
Also on your PC through System Settings I think uninstall all if your USB ports and reboot. Let your computer reinstall the USB drivers and then make sure you plug into a USB 2.0 port, not 3.0.
Not sure what brand you're using, but I know Dell can be a pita with USB drivers.

What's the word on these? If the kernel you're using supports USB OTG flash drives, does that mean that any USB stick is going to work fine? Or do you have to get one labled as "USB OTG"?
And is it as simple as plugging the stick into your computer, copying the ROM over to it, then plugging it into your phone, rebooting into TWRO and flash the ROM right off the USB stick?
Just wanna make sure before I purchase one.
U dont need to rename it to anything
Just format it as fat 32 and you are good
And you can copy anything to it or from it to your phone.

I am not sure if you can flash a ROM from the USB stick, but you can definitely transfer files within Android, if you have OTG cable (bought myself one). You can also use a mouse, keyboard or even a game pad.

Or this

I use this and its so much better than any classical method of USB-OTG cable + USB stick, it's more convenient and compact.
Nice!
Here's a USB 2.0 16GB for $9 with 4.4 stars.
I think I'll give it a shot.
I need 2.0 since I flash random phones for random friends.

Hi guys,
Need help. My i9500 display is dead, I was able to backup my data with samsung Smart switch. Only Smart switch detects the phone Kies doesn't. Trying to use ADB but totally unlucky. Device not at all showing up in the devices. I have USB debugging enabled and have Android SDK installed. Planning to reuse it as a webcam. Any help would be much appreciated.

Then I would try a different USB cable and/or USB port.
Maybe a different Windows version too.
Tried the first two was even thinking about trying it on a different machine. Will check. Thanks
