Ok im New to the whole Android thing , but i am excited to finally get on board with a Google phone. I like the iphone, i have no problems with it, its just the new carrier wont work with it. I have 2 macs, Macbook and MacPro (hackintosh) Im am very familiar with computer and how stuff works, I understand 70% of the commands i have to copy and paste from forums to make things work. Right now i am stuck (and im 100% sure its not due to the fact my Desktop isnt legit)
I got this phone used last week, fresh install with a certain rom (i dont know wich one, not sure how to tell, have no ideal how to get factory roms etc.) the phone is unlocked.
Before i plug in the usb to my phone, i enable debugging, then i select, USB mass storage.
WHen i connect i get the " Mac os X can't repair the disk "NO NAME"

then the External will mount, (so will the internal) here is what disk Util shows
It says the internal is 2.36 gb with 12.74 gb avail and only 980mb used, 0 number of files..
Now when i try to unmount the external, its fine, when i try to unmount the Internal, (NO NAME) all hell breaks loose, i wont let me, sometimes i get an error saying i cant unmount etc.. when i unplug it from the computer its still on my desktop, DiskUtil goes crazy and doesnt respond, then eventually any program that can see the drive will not respond (finder, activity Monitor)
anyone know a way around this? do i need to put a differnt install on it? its a t-mobile phone, should i just dl their newest update? how do i actually do that? their webpage? thanks for the help

I do not think Apple wants ppl to use Android..... Jealousy I guess, You can try a couple of things one would be Downloading this software from: Salling Media sync app for mac This usually works but not all the time and I do not know why.
This will work until you find a real fix from TMO, Samsung. It takes a few steps but works:
First open Terminal (applications - utilities - terminal), then type in "gpt show /dev/disk1" without the quotes. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on. Plug in the phone, it will be detected in Finder as a TMO CD, after a minute that will disappear, you can eject it to get there faster. Then mount the USB device, wait for the disk error message and select "Ignore" then unmount the card then remount it. Then in the Terminal hit Enter to run the "gpt show /dev/disk1 command". You may have to run the command more than once. It should recognize your card at that point. Then you can access the card as usual.
BTW, THIS IS WHY I HATE APPLE, they are excellent at making thing compatible for their products but, give little support to others......
yeah i tried that, but when i plug in the phone Network settings pop up no TMO CD
you think it could be because of the custom rom that was installed? I tried to find out wich one i had, but no luck..
it seems like there is somethign wrong with the 16gb partition... maybe a fresh install?
Yes when All else fails fresh install also you might find someone with a windows based computer to check it it amke sure the phone is not the problem
Yeah thats my next option.. VM wont work because OSX see's the phone 1st.. i cant just get win7 to take control without osx getting their hands on it..
now being familiar with the iphone. i would just find a stable version open itunes and select what version i want to install.. seeing how i bought my phone rooted and unlocked. and not knowing what ROM i have installed, do i just goto t-mobile's site and get the latest software from there?
connected fine on a windows machine.. this really sucks.

After a hard reset my HD was fast again and no errors. I installed all software I need, and before that I could copy files to the micro-SD of my HD2 from Win 7 Explorer while Active Sync was activated. Now after setting up everything I get an error everytime I want to copy a file that explorer cant copy the file. Using the SD-card as HDD causes no such errors. Only when Active Sync and Mobile center are active. This happens not all the time, but most of.
The pic shows the software i installed to my HD2 (internal on phone)

This has been covered many times before , and with a search you might have found it but i will go over it again ....
This has been a known issue with Activesync for a long time, I say known but less common, it is more common with W7, but still there is no rhyme or reason as to what machines/phones it affects, (if someone knows please tell me), it has to do with the conversion module in activesync, but that is all I know about it ...
The Way around it is SIMPLE, connect your phone to the pc and "forget activesync exists", and when the little box on your phone pops up asking how to connect select disk drive ... Your phone will then show up as a removable drive and you can copy files fine ...
If you no longer get the popup box goto "Start Menu>Settings>Connections>USB to PC" , and check the little box that says "Ask me ......."
Thx. Yeah, maybe I could have used the search more precisely. And what you wrote lets me hesitate in Microsoft once more. But hey - ok, I can live with that. And using the card as drive is what I´ve been doing since and ever when this bug/error appears. Thx anyway.
(Was just thinking it had something to do with some app I installed or something, sorry for wasting your time btw)
try settings menu all settings connections usb to pc and UNtick "faster data transfer.
seems to help for some.

Yeah forgot that ...
I have been looking around at this, I think it actually may have to do with a codec issues, when you install 3rd party codecs it may screw up the built in conversion in activesync, even though the file does not really need to be converted, when activesync goes to check the file to see if it does need converted it bombs ....
Ok, thx you two.
I figured out now that it must have to do with this error report.
communication (0x80072745) error connecting Windows Mobile device

Event-ID: 8
I updated the driver for the mobile device via online update at the hardware manager snap-in and since then this sporadic appearing error did not occur again. Hope this was the solution.
I really hope so.
I just reset my touchpad. (doctor + on device data wipe). My touchpad used to 14 gb before this now it shows 12gb. Any suggestions?
did you install touchdroid android, or modify the partitions in any way?
also, check your installed apps/preware veifry app space usage
I tried that chroid ipk and thats it thats why I doctered my device because I wouldent let me use uberkernel anymore.
curious...do you know how to use novaterm?
No idea man...
blerg...the big problem i have with webOS doctor is that it doesnt restore the partition table...it doesnt even touch it...so im thinking that either something modified your partition, or you can try to reinstall 3.0.2 again...
if you knew how to use novaterm, we could check the partition tables to see if theyre valid, but if you dont have the sdk/pdk set up, its not worth it to do it if you dont know how to use it
Is there a toutorial I can follow that can help redo my partitons?
i TOTALLY do not recommended doing that! As far as I know, that is the only surefire method to bricking your touchpad if you miss a single character on the command line.
Id say google it, but you might be better off taking the 2gb hit and wait for some partition guides to come available. Most of the advanced nova stuff is on webosinternals.com and the palm SDK site, so you cam start your research there.
Also ask some other 16gb users who can use nova to post the size/locations of their partitions, that way you have a reference point

Thanks man... ill try that do you think CM7 will rest the partitions.

highly, unlikely, if anything you will end up with LESS spaace on your webOS partition because CM will need to reallocate partition space for its own use
My Touchpad shows only 12,6 gb too, but it've been that way all along. Other strange thing was that i wasn't able to update from 3.0 to 3.0.2 by OTA, it just showed me "your device is up to date", had to use Doctor. Hope that all those things are just a software hickup, not a damn hardware malfunction.

wow, that is strange... i hope it isnt a hardware defect either...unless webOS 3.x.x takes up 2gb
heres how you can check (make sure you have palm SDK, novaterm and a calculator handy )
-connect TP via usb straight to your pc (no usb hubs!)
-on the TP, either hit cancel or do nothing, do not enter usb mode! you dont need dev mode either.
-load up novaterm
-hit connect
-type "df -h" (without the quotes)
-add up the size totals, and see whatcha got!
if possible, please post results, im curious to see if its hardware or software
I have the same issue.. I will try it out once I get home later today

I've got some problems with novaterm - it shows an error (which could be ignored) after every keypress, it doesn't scroll proper, ant it doesn't allow me to copy/paste. I've made a screensot of the beginning of that long output thing, here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21304732/unt.png
BTW. i've found that it's quite common: here is the thread of a guy who has 12.6 gigs too http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/298469-where-my-16gb.html
I also had 12.6 GB free space when I received my TP. But I was able to update it to 3.0.2 via OTA without any problems. Though, the free space was still 12.6 GB after the update.
I have a 32gb only showing 23.5 gb available. It seems to lose 2gb each time I do webos doctor. Hopefully there's someway to reset its partitioning.
I'm only showing 12 Gb as well.
Here's what I show in Novaterm:

I would hope that is not the case....can anyone verify this? Would make WebOS doctor a pretty crappy restore tool.
It connects fine with HTC sync, but I can't find my phone in "my computer". What am I doing wrong? I'm running Vista 32bit, btw.
now sync can't even find my phone. I tried all the usb ports on my tower, it's a fresh install of Vista that is up to date, tried reinstalling the sync program, installed some mtp drivers I found on the Microsoft site. USB debugging on and off, nothing works! and it's the stock Rom, just with some mods. ATT phone btw. any suggestions? mtp stinks btw...... I wanna flash some roms darn it!
May I suggest something to you? Uninstall all your current drivers and also remove HTC Sync, then try to follow this step-to-step guide : HERE or a more complete one HERE. If you need help or precision I will be glad to assist you.
Well i fallowed your walk through and still no luck. Im sure its not the chord i tried 3 different ones, including the the one that came wit the phone. :crying: Im completely at a loss....

you might have to connect directly from usb like the ports in the back of the pc rather then the ones in the front. also try using a different computer and see if it works or not.
well I just about given up. the issue isn't solely with my computer, as it connects just fine with every other usb device in my house, iphone, gs3, digital camera, etc. so up its an issue primarily with my phone or both my pc and phone. I haven't had a chance to try my phone on another computer yet, can't get mtp working on ubuntu. or maybe it does work, and my phones just messed up. maybe something I did, I need to stop messing with system files :laugh:. BUT I had an epiphany, ADB over WiFi, I found a bunch of apps, they all mention running apps and debugging, but can they be used as a replacement for adb via usb? can I use adb Wi-Fi to push a kernel and or recovery?
Well I made some headway! I FINALLY got my computer to at least recognize my phone. I did this control panel>add hardware and manually installing the drivers that way. SO now in device manager Android phone (sdk drivers) and HTC MTP device, finally show up. I get a code 10 on both those deives, BUT when I scan for hardware the drivers from the phone begin to install, how ever they fail to install. MY brain is beat from this, can some help give me the next little push to finally ending this debacle!?
May I ask if you have administrator privileges on your computer? On Vista this a prerogative, you MUST be an administrator otherwise the installation will fail.
Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Control Panel window opens click on the Uninstall a program (If you are using the Classic View of the Control Panel, then you would double-click on the Programs and Features icon instead.) -> The screen contains a list of the programs installed on your computer, locate everything starting with HTC and uninstall all of them.
Make sure your phone is not plugged in. Reboot your computer.
Download this file containing the Vista 32bit drivers. Put this file on your Desktop.
Plug your phone. Use Device Manager to install the driver.
Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
In the Tasks pane, click Device Manager.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
In Device Manager, locate the Android USB or MTP Device for which we want to install the driver.
Right-click the device, and then click Update Driver Software.
Click Browse my computer for driver software, click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, and then click Have Disk.
In the Install From Disk dialog box, click Browse, locate in the file you just downloaded an androidusb.inf and then click Open.
Follow the steps in the Update Driver Software Device Name dialog box to update the driver.
Reboot your computer.
Lets see the results.
NoobDude i may be beating a dead horse here but Ubuntu 13.04(even in the beta which i use as a daily os) has mtp out of the box maybe try that and install sdk, java , adb fastboot.
if lucky thirteens suggestion doesn't work, I'll try that next. cheers gents!
Lucky thirteens post didn't work at all, when i tried to update the drives I would get an error. Either that the driver wasn't compatible or the the current driver was up to date. I haven't tried updating to Ubuntu 13.4 yet. BUT, I kinda made some headway again. After several reboots and trying different things I get this, what you see in the first picture. SUCCESS!, Oh wai....(refer to second picture)..... When i plug my phone in via a USB (on the back of the computer), i get NOTHING. Sooo. One X+ FOR SALE! :laugh: :crying:

There is a universal driver from Koushik Dutta (dev of CWM). This worked on my Win8 x64 PC (nothing else would).
At least it shows my device when I type adb devices.
See if that works.
Google for it. I am not sure if I am allowed to attach the file here - hence not attaching. I also have forgotton / not saved the link. It was in his google+ post...
See if that helps
Okk the link was first when I googled .

Hey everyone,
Ever since updating to "14.1.B.2.257" i can't connect my Xperia Z Ultra (C6802) to my PC. i've tried a lot of things such as reinstalling the drivers, installing and activating ADB etc. But everywhere i look, it's been mentioned that a msg should prompt on my device (the RSA Authentication):
{

the problem is that i've installed functioning drivers AND the PC recognizes my internal storage and SD card; the only problem is that i can't connect to third party softwares in order to backup or manage my phone via them BECAUSE there is no pop-up msg asking me to authorize the "fingerprint" of my pc :|
i'm very well frustrated having worked on this matter for about 10-12 hours :laugh: so any help would be immensely appreciated!
That is odd. Since you didn't specifically mention it, i couldn't resist confirming: you did enable usb debugging in the developer settings?
So this did work before? How did you update to .257? I hope you get it working, i know how annoying this can be!
Hmm, mine usually connects the second i enable USB debugging. If you're sick and tired of it and don't want to fiddle with it right now but you want to move/remove files and stuff to/from your device, i recommend AirDroid. Just open the app and your browser on you computer and you're ready to go (you have to be connected to the same WiFi as your computer).
Change your usb connection mode to MSC Mass storage mode instead of MTP Media transfer mode. That should do it.

thanks, rest assured that i'm well aware that "usb debugging" is enabled i even tried GIVING UP developer rights and then again recaliming it just as a possible solution (but nope, undoable without serious phone-hauling)
i up'ed it to .2.257 using the OTA method, i think the whole thing might be due to the fact that my device isn't rooted :/ don't ask me why cuz i'm very pissed at Sony for its lacking of such things. (.2.257 can't be rooted yet, not even with vRoot)

Thanks Lord, as i stated i only have trouble connecting to third-party softwares such as Mobango and Moborobo (do u know if there are any such softwares better?) the rest is kinda okay, i can see my device as a connected device in My Computer etc.

Thanks for replying Sunday, but that's another odd thing: i can't seem to change the connection mode from "Internal & SD Card Connected" to anything else, cuz i did hypothesize that changing it to any other form of connection might have a chance at prompting the "RSA Fingerprint" msg :laugh: but i simply can't change it to anything else, again, might be due to the fact that my device isn't rooted

Hi All,
My son brought his Tablet to me yesterday and told me "It's not working". I looked at it and it was stuck on the Lenovo screen. I booted into recovery but it looks like its messed up here.

}
image of issue -> ibb.co/1zCLyYr
After some probing my son tried to unlock it and load a rom, then restore stock rom and it was the last that caused the issue.
Now generally being able to get to recovery is a good thing but in this case it looks completely messed up and nothing will mount including the SD card.
It looks like adb is no longer enabled, it is not rooted and USB debugging is no longer enabled.
So it says
E:failed to mount block devices /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
E:remount block devices /dev/block/mmcblk1
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache
And so on.
This means I can't actually get to the SD Card with any update on it if I go to apply update from sdcard there is nothing showing in the sdcard directory
Have tried the following
- Apply from ADB (Device does not connect)
- wipe/factory reset,
- wipe cache
- reboot to bootloader
I can't get into any download mode either.
I did get it at least to make a mounting noise temporarily in Windows 10 but couldn't actually get to it or browse from there and haven't been able to repeat this.
Just wondering if there is anything I can do, or whether I should just forget it, surely there is some way to connect to it.
Cheers
Dan
Interestingly I plugged it into my mac and first it booted to a charging screen which hadn't happened last night.
Also if I leave it plugged into my mac for a little while Android file transfer eventually pops up and tries to connect but then says "Could not connect" but there is some life there at least.
A little more probing and I plug it into my Ubuntu rig and it starts to be recognized as Android but then get "Cant load MTP Device" if I try to browse it.
Looking into dmesg gives me
idProduct=78e8 (This is a Qualcomm powered device)
It then tries to mount it all but ends up mounting it as a Lenovo CD-ROM.
I can't seem to probe it past that, thinking its a futile effort but hoping for a miracle
Further update got it to the point where if I go to "apply update from ADB" the device is recognized and I try sideload but it just fails out on xfer 0.0

You CAN NOT sideload an official ROM / OTA update with a modified device. You must have stock recovery and be non-rooted or it will fail every single time.

I cant do any kind of stock recovery, sideload is the closest I can get to anything, I think he must have put a different rom in there that has stuffed it up.
Is there anything I can do any steps I can take?
Windows won't recognise it so the QPST/QFIL method won't work
any steps or help would be appreaciated I have trawled every thread I can find here an across the internet
@Silvertails
ADB Sideload is a special mode that internally makes use of / runs Android's recovery binary ( AKA Stock Recovery ).
You test whether this mode is ready or not by simply running on PC the commands
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot recovery
If successful then you in Recovery select option "adb sideload" and on PC run
Code:
adb sideload <FILE-NAME.ZIP>
There's a very good thread on XDA here that deals with this model and recovering from bricks.

Finally got this to work.
Ordered a cable that could get me into deep download mode as jumping the pins on the mobo was not working, the cable didnt get me into download mode, but what i discovered was that if I uninstall it being recognized as a CD ROM and messing about a bit I eventually got it to recognize as an Android Bootlader Interface using the lenovo drivers. I managed to use fastboot even though the device wasn't properly recognized to install TWRP. I got a success message and managed to reboot into TWRP recovery. The device then mounted as Lenovo but a different one, but at least it was mounting.
I still couldn't copy anything over to it, so I put the OTA default ROM on an SDCard and managed to get it to install from there and update to latest versions, and now its all working again.
