I need to root my phone to recover a deleted file*, but it won't connect to my laptop with a USB (I can barely get it to charge and have a Mac) and the KingoRoot app doesn't work either.
*more specifically, I need to root so I can use Stellar Phoenix to recover a deleted file from my Galaxy Watch 3
You really need a PC to root your device.

Hi All,
I've tried everything, including the usb drivers from the root guide and installing the Samsung Kies Mini program, but I can't get Windows to recognize the memory on the device. I want to transfer some movies on the Galaxy and have not been able to figure it out.
When I run the Kies software it says "plug in your usb" and when I plug in the Galaxy nothing happens...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It should work by just plugging in the usb/connector cable. You don't need Kies (doesnt support the 10.1 anyway right now)
When your pc does not recognize your tab, something is fishy about your pc/ usb.
USB connection should work:
(Autoplay should pop up
Select open device to connect (GT-P7510)
Click on phone
Select directory to copy file to)
Sounds like a PC problem. (Look in device manager and see if your USB controllers are ok)
Looked at Device Manager, no issues under USB.
Comes up as an Android phone...
forget the cable...
try 'Samba Fileshare' app free from the Market.
Connect to your 10.1 over WiFi and send files to it via the shared folder it creates.

Worked fine for me without installing anything.
On another note, the Kies software does seem to somewhat support the 10.1 as it installed the required adb drivers when I chose it from the menu.
im having problems too.... for now I am using dropbox.
I have a shared folder on my PC and use ES File Explorer over Wifi, it's simple and works a treat. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

I had to disable USB Debugging to get mine to pop up. Took me a while.
Oh thank God I am not the only one having this problem,,, i have tried every driver combo out there plus leaving USB debugging off and still i get nothing on my windows 7 machine. I have tried three different machines and all the same so it is not a computer issue i think it is a driver issue or a interface with the tab????
Interesting thing though is that I can push via ADB all day it that connects easy!!! WTF?????

Hi i have nexus 7 and have one problem. i used car charger and my usb is screwed when i connect it to pc it says unknown device but its stil normal charging i tried al tricks on net but not working, i think that is somekind of protection switch that nexus 7 triger when strange power input is delivered. Ok so here is my question is there any way to root my nexus without connecting to pc. I have unlocked bootloader, so i would like custom rom couse dont like this one and need rooted setings couse i use it for car pc.
Tnx for info
You can use ftp, samba, AirDroid, WebShare, etc. tó copy the needed files to your N7.
Btw, you can try connecting it to your pc, check the Device Manager and if you see there an Unknown device, click on it, and remove its driver. Reconnect your N7. If the driver corrupted, this should solve the problem.
Like i said i tried all the tricks with drivers but not working. Tried reinstalig all drivers on the net but allways unknown device with error 43.
Its not file transfer problem i use wifi transfer and its fast but i wanna know if there is a way for wireless root
Just copy CF-Auto-Root to your device and root it.
Btw how can i execute the autoroot.zip file, couse even if i go into bootloader nexus cant be recognized by the pc so i cant execute comand via cmd
Sry but I forgot that it needs fastboot. As far as I know there is no one-click rooting app for tegra3 (like Framaroot or AndRoot), so I guess you're out of options.
Mybe some pro will find a way
The problem lies in your computer. The nexus 7 doesn't flip some magical switch permanently after being plugged into your car.
You need to fix your drivers.
No its not problem in pc. Tried 4 diferend PCs at least 10 different cables and yea problem is in tablet 100%
Forget cable and do it wireless like Erovia suggest.
You will find everything in play store.
Problem isnt file transfer, ust i want to root it and for that is no way to do it without usb cable
Is it possible to root the phone without using PC?
I would like to get rid of some vodaphone bloat but my PC is a work PC with admin rights I don't have acces to.

In the most case, you will need driver for it to work properly.
- if you connect your phone to the pc as a usb storage, you will need only general usb driver, that commonly available in any pc (if the windows has been properly installed)
- if you connect to the pc to use with some specific softwares (e.g. Kies 3 or Odin), you will need Samsung usb driver, that can obtain over the Internet...
If you have wifi connection on both PC and phone at home or office, you can use Airdroid app. Really easy to use.
I have rooted my Nexus 6P (thanks to help those on XDA that provided assistance and guidance). I can view all "folders" (e.g., app folders, like Tasker and it's subfolders) when I use X-plore app on my 6P but I cannot see all these folders when I plug my 6P into my laptop and pull it up in Windows Explorer (using Windows 10). I could view all folders when I had a rooted Galaxy S4. So, to move files around, I've emailed them to my Nexus (or copied them from the PC) and then used X-plore to move them to the appropriate folders. Why can't I see all the app folders (for example, I'd like to copy/move my Titanium Backup files to the Titanium Backup folder on the 6P, but I can't see it on my PC). It's probably operator error on my part, but I've scoured the web (and here) to no avail so I thought I'd ask. Someone probably knows the answer off the top of their head. Thanks!

Because you have root access to your system when using a root enabled file explorer on your phone. When you connect your phone to your computer, the best you can do is view your SD card. You can't view system/root files as a drive.
Also make sure you have selected File Transfer from the USB Debugging drop down as well (Default is Charging at least on my phone)

That's too bad. I could do it on my Galaxy S4. I had a Phone and a Card "drive" in Windows Explorer. I guess this WAD in Android 6.x? Oh well. This is not progress. . Thanks.

Yea, I have that set. Otherwise, I wouldn't see any files. I guess I'll copy my files to a folder I can see and then use X-plore to move them to the actual folder. Thanks.

I tend to agree on one hand, but given how easy it is to get root access to your phone and, after that, how easy it is to introduce a problem by mounting your system as a drive on your computer, I also understand why Google did that. It's actually to protect a lot of users who are smart enough to get into trouble, just not smart enough to get out of it.

At first I could only see my 6P internal storage on one of my 2 Windows 10 computers. Now I can see it on both after a Windows update (not sure why). Things that helped on the first computer was the USB driver I got from SkipSoft Toolkit. Other tricks include installing PDANet.... To get a good USB driver. I can see the internal storage when rooted or un- rooted on both computers as long as I choose "file transfer mode".

Are you saying I should get PDANet to get a good USB driver? Thanks for the tip about SkipSoft Toolkit. I installed that yesterday. Very nice. I already connected my Nexus to my laptop so it installed whatever USB drivers it found at that time. Do you know how to uninstall those drivers and force the phone to use the USB drivers from SkipSoft? I suppose if I go into Devices on Win10 and remove the device, the phone will get re-recognized by the laptop, but I'm not sure I know how to force it to use specific USB drivers. Thoughts? Thanks!

At first I was unable to see the contents of the phone with either my Asus 2 in one nor on my Dell All in One even after installing the standard USB driver via the Android SDK site. Once I installed the SkipSoft Toolkit I was able to see the contents on the Dell but still not on the Asus. That's why I installed PDANet on the Asus (that used to be solution for my old HTC (Evo, Thunderbolt and Rezound) phones. It did not seem to work on the Asus though, then suddenly, after a windows update, it (being able to see the files on the 2 in one) started working on the Asus. The Asus has a conglomeration of probably 3 USB drivers at least one of which is working without me having to uninstall the others.
