I really have done everything. I have check USB debugging, it is Awake, I have restarted my computer and my phone, tried following all of you people's suggestions, but still it says "error:device not found" over and over again. Is there anything else I can do, because I am pretty sure I have done everything

 

[jerseyjim]

is that a pop up window or in Terminal? If it a pop up when you plug it just click ignore and carry on. If it's in terminal I'm not sure.

Error device not found

Look at my post #61. It's a pretty foolproof way to mount the phone & have the mac recognize it.

 

[maxorange9]

Yeah I tried your foolproof way, the first time disk utility said it was disk5 and second time disk2, both times it said there was like no directory or something and that it couldn't find it

 

[ls5012]

I have downloaded 1-click- clockworkmod 2.1 -2.2 at least 5 times. No app will unzip it. I have tried Archive, disk utility, powerpoint. I can't figure out the problem. And the entire 11mg downloaded. What's up

Did you follow the directions about turning off the usb select files then turn it back on & then press enter in the terminal (After you copied the phrase into the terminal)? The disk number does change. you just have to make sure that when you copy the phrase into the terminal you change the disk # to what yours says It always works for me

 

[maxorange9]

Yeah it worked this time. Terminal gave me this"start size index contents
0 1 MBR
1 8191
8192 31108096 1 MBR part 12"
but then I try to run 1clickroot and it still can't find device

This is as far as I get, and then nothing else happens, any help?

Does the phone freeze at the point?

 

[maxorange9]

Nope, it was completely functional, i then rebooted the phone, and went to my files, and found su and busybox in it, but I don't know if that helps at all

Not sure why you cant unzip it. Try checking the Archive Utility preferences.

Open System > Library > CoreServices > Archive Utility.app. Then go to the preferences pane and see if the expanded files are being saved to the same directory as the archive.

Bray when you have time i have another project for you

That just means the files are being pushed.

Try running 1-click-root again. When you get to that point, press control-c. This will stop the process. Then type

./adb shell su

and tell me if you see a $ sign or a # sign.

Cool, feel free it email it to me or catch me on chat. I still need to update the 1-clicks to check if the device is connected first.

Shoot 'em my way!

Still struggling. I can't get clockwork to download. "device not found" my process on page 17 is no longer working & I even found some mac drivers to install & that hasn't worked either. Is there a way to down load clockwork directly into the phone & bypass the mac. Mac's just don't work with samsungs

 

[alpina0560]

im in the same boat as maxorange9!

getting the same message:

[alpina0560]

just kidding after 10 minutes it was successful!

So I got thru a bunch to try and get froyo onto my phone. I was at post #5: How to install zip from recovery. (Froyo, themes, other kernels) ... step #4.

My screen says:
Andriod system recovery <2e>

Samsung Recovery Utils
-for BML-

reboot system now
apply sdacrd:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition


under that i have a little andriod guy with a white triangle and an orange ! that say #manual mode#

I tried hitting the back button on apply sdcard:update.zip and reboot system now, and nothing happens.
