USB Not recognized

Hi everyone,
My nexus s (Super Amoled) device can not recognized by computer when I plug into USB port since I upgraded to ICS 4.0.3. (battery does charge but % symbol does not appear)
I tried another port, another cable and another PC but result same. Searched for an answer but no luck
I think that is a software problem and now I just want to downgrade to 2.3.6 GB. How can I do that without using USB port? Can I do unlock bootloader without USB? then rooting and CWM?
Please help me, my phone looks like a huge brick without USB support
You cannot unlock bootloader without USB connection
Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
after flashing Milestone 3 of AOKP Rom, i got a similar problem. Although my device is being recognized by fastboot in the bootloader. But no USB mass storage mounting in Recovery either...
Got the exact same problem... Thought it was a faulty usb port, but maybe I should wait for next update to see if that fix something...

[Q] Micro USB port not working

hello,
mi micro USB is not working propperly right now, for some reason it doesn´t charges correctly, it seems a little... "loose"... im currentl running CM 9 2012/05/26
and when it plugg it in the computer and manage it to start charging, it wont allow me to acces it as a mass storage device, in fact the computer wouldn´t recognize it at all!, any help!?
try another cable, or connecting it to other port after rebooting (usb musnt be connected)
Swyped off my Amazing Defy using ICS
happened with me too, got its motherboard replaced
crap... I`m rooted... so no warranty...
maybe in some repair shop of cellphones the will be able to replace it?
but.. did yours charged at all?
bacause mine does charges when appropietly connected... its just that sometimes it wont nad it will not allow me to get to the mass storage...
If your phone just charge but can't access to masive storage, look in the device manager , if you have a MTP device, your micro ubs port is fine, just try to install some stock rom.
it´s just that some times it doesn´t charges and I need to slowly start trying to adjust the micro USB port so it can charge... that´s why I say that it seems to be a little loose...
As well it will only charge when plugged into my XboX 360 or the computer (and some other devices) but not when plugged into the Stock charger... :S

USB not working for flash
Hi everyone, I came with a similar issue.
The massive storage USB connection is not working for me, plus I can't flash a stock rom,
Currently I'm in MIUI for defy (and it's the only option I am able to install), I tried to wipe data cache to install cyanogenmod 7 from recovery but it's not working, it get stuck in the boot logo. I want to install cyanogenmod because it is fast than MIUI jelly bean.
My idea is to flash the device, but with the usb not working Im stuck,
any ideas to solve this? or should i go to have the usb repaired?

If after a boot in bootloader (power+vol-up) and connecting to PC via usb cable nothing appear onto PC display 3 possibilities exist.
1. Usb cable is broken.
2. Pc have no usb driver foryour device (but even in this case a error message appear)
3. Usb connector or circuitry fron Defy is broken.

Yes, is OK your method but is a little dangerous if you not cover the cleaned pins with some resin. More safe is to use a toothbrush soaked in isopropyl alcohol or 98% ethylalcohol to clean the soldered pins.

TWRP and USB-OTG

Hi there,
So I did something really stupid and I wiped my phone while in recover mode trying to install a new ROM. And now I'm stuck with a useless phone that can only go into TWRP and Firmware Update Mode.
I've tried every method to unbrick my phone, and have a previous thread on this forum trying to get help (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48914581#post48914581), but nothing is working.
My question now is I'm running TWRP 6.3.2.2, If I buy a USB OTG cable and put my rom files on a USB thumbdrive, can I then install the rom from the usb? If so, where in the filesystem does this usb storage show up?

I believe only TWRP 2.6.3.4 can support OTG (I've been happy with it).
I think you may have to ADB push the files from PC over while in recovery (may need to look around).

Windows 7 don't see my G2

Hello,
By misstake I wipe in recovery everything. Now OS is not installed.
It is possible to boot in recovery TWPR and bootloader. I can flash a rom if I had one on the phone.
I connect to the laptop with windows 7 but the laptop doesn't my G2.
I get the usb error not reconized.
I reinstall lg drivers, install drivers with official flash tool. Nothing helps.
Has someone a idea?

Ok I have to buy a USB OTG stick/cable and connect with a usb stick (with rom) to my phone?
Recovery sees than the rom?
You must mount usb drive in recovery and flash your zip from there

Today tried with usb otg cable.
Connect the usb otg to my phone with a usb stick fat32 format. I can't select usb otg in mount.
Tried it with a external harddrive with own power supplies and format as fat 32. Same problem, not possible to select usb otg in mount.
Tried usb otg cable with usb stick with other G2 with same TWRP amd everything work.
It seems the usb otg cable and usb stick are alright. The problem is my phone.
Is it really dead now?
