I tried to install a new font with Font Installer, as it had worked in the past, but my phone then got stuck in a boot loop. I had already gotten rid of my backup after I found out that PA wasn't going to be updated until 4.4, so I thought there was no need for a Nandroid until then. I do not seem to have any PA ROM .zip's on my phone anymore.
A couple weeks ago, my usb port stopped working and everytime I try to plug something into the port, it begin to heat up and there is a burning smell. So I cannot transfer anything through usb.
So I made a factory reset and then wiped the system and now when I try to reboot, TWRP says "No OS Installed." When I proceed and the phone reboots, I am stuck on the screen with "Google."
Is there any way I can fix this?

First of all it is a good lesson why you always have to keep a nandroid backup.
Ia the USB on your PC is the problem? Can't you go to other PC and transfer a zip to your nexus?
I guess that USB is the only way.. You obviously can't use WiFi or bluetooth. Find a PC and do it.
Good luck.

You're right about that.
No, the usb on my N4 is the problem. Plugging any usb cable into the port doesn't work. No computer can recognize the device and the device is unable to charge through usb either.
I'm very sorry and it's painful to say but I can't think of any solution.. Maybe only to fix your USB port..

My nexus S won't show up on my computer. I've tried re installing and uninstalling the drivers for it. It shows up as an "Unknown device" and tells me that i should try to replace the device. I'm running W7 prof. and 2.3.4 stock on my nexus with root. I've tried several fixes and none have worked. Please if anyone has had the same problem help me out.

Sounds like the cable. Try a new one, something thick like they have at radio shack.

Been having the same problem for months. Don't think it's the cable since everything worked fine before i manually installed 2.3.4. Tried many of the same fixes as you, also with no luck.
Did you guys try to load a custom rom?

Which USB drivers did you use? Try the PDAnet drivers, they seem to work for everyone.

i never connect via usb. you download the rom onto the phone, boot into recovery, flash the rom, then reboot. easy.

I've tried this and it installed but it didn't work.
Are you trying to have your Nexus S recognized as a USB storage device or a Nexus S device? Have you tried connecting to a different USB port on your computer?
Same problem - seemed to start a week ago when I updated Music app. Tried 3 different PC's and 3 different cables with no luck. Then tried turning off whilst lead still plugged in and it immediately rebooted so I unplugged, put it in recovery mode then plugged in lead and rebooted and it seemed to kick it into life... since then works ok once I'd rebooted PC's. Weird as hell and initial thought USB phone connector was broken but seems fine now. Good luck!

try the samsungdriver , you can find it on nexusshacks.com together with a tutorial on how to install it . worked for me.
Same problem here , just tried switching the cable from my old htc shift and it worked . The one that came with the nexus is having problems , seems to be one more issue for the books for this phone , from the reception , battery use ....
My stock cable didn't support development and my phone keeps disconnecting.
So i tried a different cable, which is from my Nokia N85. It worked fine.
1. try other computer , determinate it is cable, USB port, windows driver or phone problem
2. try delete old device displays in your computer and reinstall, try use "windows update" to find correct driver , by the way , i didn't have to install new driver after i update from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 , so i guess that's same driver
...
and , other silly idea , try to plug it into other new USB port of your computer...
i'm not sure , but sometimes i plug some device out and plug it into other port , windows just reinstall the same driver and disiplay #2 for the same device...
i seem to have a problem with mounting the internal storage on the phone, it doesnt ask me to mount when i plug the phone in like it normally would so i tried mounting through recovery but still cant do it through there, tried 3 different roms and all the same issue, are there any kernels with this issue? im running newest nscollab with the kernel it comes with...not sure what to do
are you running the latest recovery? can you use the storage space with apps on the phone?
I have been having the exact same problems. Nothing seems to work. Can't mount through CW and I have the most recent version. Randomly it started to work again by turning the phone off. Plugging phone into computer. Turning phone back on. It would recognize it until now. Now that doesn't work....
I am using Mac and Linux and neither one need drivers so that has nothing to do with it.
I'm screwed if I have to take the phone in for warranty work because I am rooted.
Anyone come up with something to fix this?
Or is there a way to "force it to mount?"
Its really f'in annoying

So it's showing the storage on the phone and not on the computer, correct?
Can you select to mount the USB when you plug it in?
Does the device show up in the System Profiler app in Mac OS X?

That is incorrect. It does not show up on the phone. When it shows up on the phone it mounts to the computer. It is not even recognizing it on the phone now. For awhile it was working and now its not again. Haven't done anything else to the phone.
When it doesn't show up on my phone it is not recognized by the system profiler.
Never had a problem with any other android device except on my epic 4g when I tried running the miui beta for it. But it would still mount in clockwork.
It is not the cable because I have four different cables. One of which works flawlessly on my epic. Which had a lot of problems when using the stock cable.
Is this hardware related or is it because of the rooting process?
What r some possible fixes if any?
I really would not mind going back to stock and starting over. But the only way to get back to stock is by USB. And nothing recognizes it. Adb. Fastboot. Odin (heimdall in Mac terms) nothing recognized it

okay, I had this issue when the nexus s 4g was first released and the first roms/recoveries came out. I would just start over. backup using titanium backup and flash the stock files in fastboot, then unlock again, flash the recoveries, etc.
How exactly would I revert to stock if commands from my computer in fastboot do not recognize the device?

Try es file explorer and give root access ... this was u can atleast access files from your phone...
PROBLEM SOLVED... at least for me
Found out when flashing to a stock rom (currently running MIUI) that my usb port on my phone is loose. Just have to be careful with it. Makes sense that it was randomly happening.
With MIUI it wouldn't show right away because I had it set to auto-mount. But when i flashed the stock rom. The pop-up to mount-sd would show up and go away show up and go away....
Darn.
hello. i used LCD density monitor to try to fix the market after switching the DPI settings, and my device is unusable. as sooon as i boot, everything force closes, nothing runs. ADB cannot connect to the device. it says theres no device connected.
i used toolkit to reflash stock rom, but i cant reset to factrory, so it keeps booting into this terrible set up with nothing working. stock recovery is just the android with the open chest and eclamation.
going through the toolkit, i cannot get the ADB drivers to install and correctly see my tablet.
can anyone offer some help?
much appreciated!
Not sure if this will work for you but when ADB couldn't see my N7, it was because it was in MTP mode.
Settings > Storage > Menu (top right) > USB computer connection > select Camera (PTP)
If that works, you can push all the stock images and recovery via fastboot.
managed to finally get adb to work, flashed stock, and starting over wiuth a restore, but theres no MTP drivers installed. anyone have any idea how to install them or where to get them?

to get ADB to work, i went through the manual driver install several times before i got it to work. i had the USB plugged into a usb 3.0 port, and for some reason, ADB does not recognize through 3.0 ports. plugged into a 2.0 port and had no problem getting ADB to finally recognize it.
I flashed stock, but rebooted to the same problem. i managed to get into the menu and factory reset. after factory resetting, it was fine.
no more LCD density until they fix that.
Make sure you have android SDK installed.

The easiest way to change your DPI is to either download ROM Toolbox or edit it yourself. ROM Toolbox is good for whole slew of things, not just DPI modding. I would recommend it for anyone with a rooted Android Device.
And thanks for telling us that information, nice to know that ADB doesn't support USB 3.0. :/

I have a problem with my Nexus 4...
When I first got it, it would connect to my computer and I could choose if I wanted MTP or the other one.
I rooted it at my friends house, unlocked the bootloader, but never flashed anything else on it, it was just rooted with unlocked bootloader. Just recently, maybe 3 days ago, when I plug in my Nexus into any computer, I mean any, Mac, Linux, and Windows... My phone doesn't recognize it and it just charges... USB Debuggig is enabled, I tried disabling it and it does the exact same thing.... Anyone have any ideas? I no longer have root because of the 4.2.1 update that wiped it... :/
Factory reset might eliminate the problem, Also when you connect the nexus 4 to your pc it should automatically install the drivers, but it might've bugged out. So my suggestion is you reinstall them. Here, I am making it easier for you:
http://theandroidrom.com/download-lg-nexus-4-usb-driver-for-windows/
Hope that helps!
I've tried factory reset. My phone doesn't give me any options when I connect to any computer. Just sits there charging from the computer. I'll try again with new drivers, but windows doesn't recognize it needing any.. :/ I'm gonna go into t mo and see if they can replace it.

First thing I'd do is remove the ADB drivers. Install kies is the simplest way to have proper drivers. You must put this fw on by Odin so if your phone doesn't connect in download mode, that's your issue.
Connect Odin
Flash new fw
Flash rom

no kidding. it has to be a normal usb 2 cable a none powered usb port.
i was using the original fast charge usb cable, clearly that was a mistake.
anywho its at 6% hopefully this goes through and i can initialize the device.
oh since i have you guys is there any reason why my data only connects when wifi is connected?
i tried a variety of things and i cant seem to get thing to get service.
i have a ! by the rogers indicator.
