Pc doesn't detect my fascinate - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I just got a Samsung fascinate from a friend of mine... I went to go root it but my pc doesn't even recognize it. Doesn't even know it's plugged in. It charges but doesn't let me see it in adb, connect as mass storage and yes I have Samsung usb drivers installed and I have kies. Nothing has worked. Can anyone help me with this ish problem or tell me how to root it without my pc? Thanks

Try different ports and cables, you might need to find an oem usb cable if you can't find one that works

I have at least 3 oem cables and when I used a black berry one I ay least got my pc to say unrecognized usb device but after I unplugged it I never saw that message again

That's odd. Do you have any other PCs you could try? Maybe ones with different operating systems? Try uninstalling and re-installing the Samsung drivers and use an older version of Odin. I'm not sure what else to say other than maybe the usb connector is damaged somehow on the phone itself

And i would at least try without kies installed,,, just Samsung drivers,,, (maybe try an older Samsung driver too,,, i had problems with one of the newest ones i found),, I've heard keis can mess up odin... and try rebooting the pc with phone/usb all hooked up to see if it will recognize...

I didn't install kies until after I found the drivers not working but I'll look for older drivers and uninstall kies. Also sometime this week I'm going to run ubuntu on my old hp tower and see if it prevails

Maybe you should try cleaning the usb port on the phone with canned air. This fixed my dad's Fascinate when nothing else would.

Android Driver error

Has anyone had any issues getting the adb drivers to work on Windows 7 64bit?
I've downloaded every single htc drivers I can find and I have updated my android sdk drivers and nothing. Does any one have a suggestion or maybe a fix.
Thanks

yes i had issues.. how did i fix it i cant remember its workable tho.. i think i might of gone into device manager when the phones plugged in and deleted all references to the phone, unplugged it and rebooted computer and started over.
Aside from the drivers do you have htc sync installed? that's what I needed on my work computer to get it to detect with adb.
do you have trouble with adb as well as fastboot or just fastboot?

Yeah I have HTC sync installed. I work with phones so I have many different Androids that are constantly plugged into my computer. They all work including HTC Evos, Evo 3D, Evo LTE's, etc...
Its just my personal Amaze 4G that I can't get to work. I've tried so many drivers with no luck.
@Other post, When you say delete all references can you tell me what steps you took please?
Thank you all again.
Well I sold it and bought the Galaxy S2 again.

Well...
So I was trying to find information on rooting a non activated SPH-710 (so no internet) and a video I was watching on YouTube showed a guy rooting
a SPH-710 and when he showed how to verify the version, he said I should have Android 4.0.4 and it should also show FF18.
So... when I checked my phone it had 4.0.4 and FH13.
So what the hell is up with that and what direction should I take now?
The reason I am trying to root the phone is to put the VK rom on it because I have the dreaded "charging paused - voltage to high" error message. I read somewhere on XDA that, that may fix the problem.
Your thoughts and advice is much appreciated.
Thank you,
John

I would recommend Odin back to stock then try the rooting procedure again.

I have not tried rooting it yet...
Most of the time I can not get Vista to see the phone. (or 7)
About one out of 40 tries will Kies or windows find the phone.
Actually Kies will see the phone but will not connect to it.
I need to get it going, I hate this ZTE piece of junk.
I ordered a usb port for it but did not know that (actually my wife ordered it)
it was a surface mount port. Out of luck there I guess. Looks too tiny for
me to deal with.
Thanks,
John

I'm gonna ask the obvious question here: Are you plugging your phone directly into a USB port i.e. not through a hub? Preferably one in the back of the motherboard. Highly suggest that it be one that was originally meant for your keyboard/mouse. On my motherboard, I find that cell phones work best for adb/fastboot when plugged into a "pink" USB port as opposed to a blue USB3.0 or normal USB2.0
EDIT: Oh, you're on a laptop. I got nothin' then, sorry mate. I'm going to leave my post up just in case some one else wanders in here.

Not fastboot as in the command line interface.
Fast Boot under Power Management inside Android OS--it basically puts the phone into superdeep hibernate mode instead of turning it off when you push the Power Off button.
Oh okay he did say fastboot as in the command interface.

Most likely the usb3 drivers. I think there are some Intel drivers posted somewhere that will work.

Need help unlocking my bootloader

Hey guys. I posted in the Jailbreak thread but didn't get any response. I need help unlocking my bootloader. Here is where I'm at:
My Windows Vista PC sees my phone and Android ADB. The Galaxy Note Toolkit sees my phone. Casual does not. It just sits at "disconnected" and won't let me do anything.
I have disabled every pierce of AV and MSE. I tried every USB port. I have rebooted both phone and PC in varying combinations.
I am a n00b to the GN2 but I'm quite experienced in modding. I am just having problems getting Casual to work.
Please help?
Did you try with another cable?

Try unplugging all your USB devices and using a different cable. When using casual I had to uninstall the Sammy mobile device drivers for it to work.

Did that. I tried 2 different Samsung data cables, still nothing. Even did a factory reset since my PC once had an error that my Android ID was missing and I can't check for software updates, thought maybe something went weird with the phone setup. Still nothing.
So I know the drivers are there, I know the data cables are good and I know the ports are working. All AV is shut down. Where is the roadblock here?
On a related note: When I tried to use the connection help on Kies, Kies told me my device wasn't supported. Could that be a part of what I'm running into?
Since VZW has to have their hands in every aspect of things they locked the use of kies. I haven't found a way to get it to work yet. Don't remember if kies air works but that wouldn't help the issue.
This is confusing, the next thing I would try is flashing stock with the .pit file and trying again. Or it could be a java issue since the CASUAL exploit is written in java, that seems more likely to me. In Adam Outlers thread for CASUAL he linked a java checker. Try that and make sure your good with java

good call.

Same thing.
Java is latest version. My phone shows up just fine for windows.
Is there an Odin option? I'm very familiar and comfortable with Odin

What about this:
When I connect my phone to the PC, it initially shows up as an installer. I then have to go in to change it to a MTP device.
Could that be causing this somehow?
It could be. Make it a media device and retry everything. If that doesn't work then find the bay where pirates hangout and get win7 on your computer and retry it. I've only ever rooted on win 7 and win 8

I had this problem too. I had to unlock the hidden menu and set the phone as MTP + ADB to get CASUAL to properly recognize it.
Have you ever disabled your Internet connection and click "do it". See if it does anything.

Are you using USB 2.0 ports? I had the same issue on my laptop trying to use USB 3.0 ports. Switched to a laptop with 2.0 ports and it worked fine. Other than that, make sure your drivers are up to date and HTC Sync is completely uninstalled from your computer.
