[Q] Cannot seem to access android devices on this pc topic

I have 5 devices here, Asus MeMo Pad ME170c, Lenovo 3500-fl, Archos Gamepad, HTC Desire HD and a cheapo generic chinese AllWinner a13. I cannot seem to get any of them to work on this pc. I cannot access them via adb nor browse the files on them via windows. Both the Asus and Lenovo are running KitKat 4.4.2 and connect up and under adb show as unauthorized, but I never get the authorization prompt on the devices. They show up under My PC where upon trying to access internal storage the window locks up/stops responding and the progress bar at the top fills up and gradually gets slower and slower until it's almost finished but then just carries on forever. I can never access the files. On my other pc I can access the files and get the authorization promp. Both pcs are running the exact same copy of windows 8.1 (installed from the same disk), are up to date and are both running the same usb drivers. So why can't I access the devices from this (my main) pc. The other devices are running older versions of android so I don't need to authorize the computer on these. They periodically show up as 'device' under adb but i cannot access their files as they show up as a removable device and when trying to access them windows says 'no media in the drive'.

I've done everything the same on both machines, the only difference is their hardware so I am wondering if there is anything hardware related that could be causing this problem. Could it be something to do with the motherboard?

The pc I can't access the devices with has an Asrock Z77 Pro4-M motherboard.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be going wrong here?

Cheers

Fraz.

cannot mount ext partitons (or anything) under lollipop topic

Yes i can't mount any partiotion of the sd card to the phone under lollipop, i tried everything, this is because i can't use link2sd or foldermount, so i tried using commands in terminal emulator like mount -t sdext4 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:66 /data/sdext2 , the command seems to works at first but the folder is still empty, i used the directory bind commands lime mount -o bind but this isn't working either, it seem that lollipop broke something in this phone or is using another metod.

[Q] Fastnote cannot write on SD card & ColorNote stopped backing up also on SD card topic

Good day!

I'm using Sony Xperia Z3 and has been playing with note-taking apps Fastnote and Colornote.

Before, ColorNote writes its local backup to both internal and SD card memory (as you can also see on the backup settings it has both icons). But suddenly it stopped backing up on SD card, though it still backs up on internal memery.

Also this happened after I tried changing Fastnote's storage destination from internal to SD card, which while it has been successfully changed, it cannot write note to that new destination (SD card), but it does well on the internal memory.

What do you think guys? Any response will be greatly appreciated.

Attempting to remove cynogenmod cannot re lock bootloader or reflash recovery topic

I was having issues with my version of cynogenmod (apps crashing, random reboots) so I decided to downgrade to an earlier update of it. While doing this my phone restarted I guess corrupting whatever was on there. It won't boot and gets stuck at the HTC logo. I can still enter HBOOT, so I tried reflashing ROMS in CWRM from there this was presenting errors also, so I used CMRW to clear out the partitions on the phone. I then thought reflashing to recovery would help it didnt I now cant enter recovery at all it just goes to fastboot. I also tried to flash a stock recovery ROM, that also did nothing. Trying to lock the bootloader also throws an error "FAILED status read failed <no such file or directory>". So im stuck as to what I can do from here I just want to put it back to stock and forget CM until more stable releases are out. I hope I haven't made a brick, any help is appreciated.

Cannot Install CM11 Stable with Semaphore KK. Only with Semaphore "normal". Why? topic

Dear All,

It seems that i cannot install cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-galaxysmtd with semaphore Semaphore_KK_3.4.3s. I can only install it with Semaphore_2.7.4.
I do not understand because CM11 is a KK rom, correct? So why a KK kernel cannot work? I do not understand that...

Please give me advice

Thanks

[SOLVED] Cannot disable External SD Card Encryption under any circumstances... Why? topic

Solution at Bottom

I stupidly encrypted my SD Card. This resulted in slower startups as it always searches for errors, and notifies me that it's encrypted, plus it's slower to view, load and transfer any files associated/on the External Card.
Worst of all, for some reason I cannot disable the encryption. On my friend's phone she has the option under Settings > Security > Encrypt SD Card > Disable Encryption. I however, do not have that option and I have no idea why

Here is a picture of the screen I get instead:



I only have the option to change my screen lock type. When I go to do this and put my current password in, I get this:



All other forms of secure lock screens are disabled except for password.

I've googled around on the internet and I cannot find any answers for this problem.

I've tried:

1. Disabling everything that is set as a device administrator. Rebooting and seeing if I can disable External SD Card Encryption. > Didn't help at all.
2. Formatting the SD Card after taking the files off. > Encryption is still on and I cannot turn it off.

Whilst doing this I always made sure I had more than 80% of my battery on my phone.

Does anyone else have any ideas? It's really annoying to have to use a password all the time, it's a little excessive in addition to the huge performance hit I get when interacting with stuff on my External SD Card.

I'd happily /thank anyone who can help me out.

EDIT: I spent 3 days trying to work this out, and googling around. I then also had to put up with it for 10 days.
Simply to find that all I had to do, to get the option to disable the encryption and get all of my options for lock screens back again was just set a password WITH A NUMBER in it...
Then after that, the option to disable encryption appeared and voilá. Finally I get my fingerprint lock screen back and my External SD is Unencrypted...
