[Q] usb device not recognized - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have problem with my nexus, This error shows up few days ago when i tried to plug my phone to computer. So i can't transfer data, and what is more i can't change rom to stock 4.4.3. And now what I've tried to do.
- I checked a few cables
- on other computers
- tried to use fastboot on linux and phone display showed download and nothing happend
- I think that the usb works because i tried to do the backup by adb and succeeded (pull).
Any one already had a similar problem?

[Q] Nexus 4 gone stealth

... and is no longer recognized when connected to a computer via USB, meaning I can't return to stock to get ready for the Lollipop OTA.
Got a rooted Nexus 4 running the latest PA beta.
What happens when connecting to PC:
- On two different Windows machines: systray popup saying "USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned etc.". In device manager it says "Unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed)"
- On elementary OS, based on Ubuntu 12.04: nothing, besides charging.
No USB debugging connection notification on the Nexus 4 either when plugging in.
What I've tried (USB debugging enabled, all relevant drivers installed):
- Settings > Storage > USB computer connection > check Camera PTP (used to be required in order to get an RSA key prompt when connecting to a computer, now it does nothing)
- Flashing latest stable CM to see if PA was to blame. Made no difference.
- Uninstalling device through device manager in Windows and reconnecting. No effect. Driver update doesn't work either, finds nothing.
- Using Wugfresh's Nexus toolkit to see if that worked, but that obviously doesn't work either when the device isn't recognized, same with the Universal Nexus Linux Toolkit on Linux.
- Scouring the net for solutions and coming up with nothing
I have flashed factory images before on this phone without problems. Should I consider it a hardware failure by now, or is this a known issue with a fix?
Try a new wire, different usb port on computer, finally look into cleaning your charging port on the phone/replacing it.

Tried three different cables, every port on two laptops, no joy - my girlfriend's phone connects normally.
Wouldn't replace the charging port, then I'd just get a new phone since it's a 2 years old Nexus 4. If only there was a way to flash the factory image using only TWRP.

Flash this in twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47476426
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks jd1639, that seemed to be exactly what I was looking for -
- but then I had an extremely blonde moment and formatted everything in TWRP, wiping the ROM I was gonna flash in the process, on a device where USB file transfer doesn't work anymore
My phone is now a paper weight.
Have you tried the file manager in twrp yet? I've found it connects when nothing else will...

[Q] HELP with recovery, no usb access to nexus 7, not detecting with official cable.

Ok so long story short, i have a nexus 7 2012 which a rooted and installed cyanogen mod.
I was using it as a car install and works perfect, i'm using an otg cable to mount usb sticks, triggering soft shutdown and powering the nexus etc. So usb seems to be working fine.
Basically i removed the tablet it to modify the bootloader to turn on automatically with ac power applied, if the battery runs out i have to manually power on with button, but now i'm running into a problem.
Ever since taking the tablet out and trying to connect over usb, none of my computers detect the tablet.
I've tried different operating systems, drivers, cables etc etc.
Also changed from mtp to ptp in storage and also turned on usb debugging mode. If i connect an otg cable the nexus see's the otg and i can mount usb's etc.
So i thought i might try recover the nexus back to factory, maybe there was an issue with the rom corrupted etc, I've downloaded the original 4.2.2 firmware which is currently installed.
Booted into recovery and tried re-installing the 4.2.2 zip, it keeps aborting. A guy in work tried to use sideloader and connect via adb. no luck.
I'm not very familiar with the android platform so i've no other ideas what to do and other idea's how to recover now.
The guy i work with mentioned using a usb jig, would that be the way to go or can anyone else suggest some else that might help.
Thanks
Before you updated when was the last time you connected your N7 to your computer?
When you connect your N7 to your computer does it act like it is charging? Have you tried more than one computer? I had a similar problem with mine last year & sent it in 3 times. Asus replaced both the USB port board & the main board on different occassions. I suspect your mainboard might be faulty.
Does adb see the device

I last connected the nexus to the laptop a few monts back to load some music onto it, didn't have a problem. It's only been connected to a computer maybe 3 times. once to root/rom it then another few times to load music etc.
I can't see why the usb board maybe faulty as i can read data from a usb key when the otg cable is connected.
It's a strange one. You could be right, i might try pick up a broken nexus and swap some parts. Usb board etc.

Yes adb is shown in device manager, but it's not recognizing the nexus, comes up with an error 10 , cannot start. etc etc

I am having this same problem on my (unrooted) HTC One after attempting to "convert" it from an AT&T to a Google Play Edition device with the procedure described here.
As part of the procedure, I attempted to flash the stock Google Play Edition ROM using fastboot commands, but I got an error message. The instructions say to just try the flash again, but the phone no longer connects properly via USB (error 10) while in bootloader mode. While in bootloader mode, the phone indicates there is some sort of problem (a line showing the OS version is highlighted in red), and attempting to enter recovery mode does nothing but display a phone with a big red X in it. The phone seems to operate fine and responds to ADB commands when the phone is fully booted, albeit with the old OS (not Google Play Edition) still in place.
Any Android device could theoretically get in this state. We're sort of "paralyzed", because everything we want to do to regain control of the bootloader and fix the situation seems to require issuing fastboot commands from a computer connected to the phone while it's in bootloader mode. Yet entering recovery mode or getting a computer to connect to it via USB no longer seems possible.
I wonder if there's another way to issue fastboot commands without relying on the USB connection to a computer?

connectivity issue

hello
i have a problem with my g928f
my issue is that it can not be regognized by the windows
i have tried at my desktop with win 10 and at my laptop with windows 7 and at both says unknown device,
i have tried everything i know of
unistall everything from the pc regarding samsung drivers
install it again , nothing
install smart switch , nothing
install kies, nothing
run odin , not even see the phone at download mode
made factory reset from recovery , nothing
charge is working just fine both from pc and my wall charger
i tried mhl hdmi and nothing happened
tried just now otg cable with a usb drive , again nothing
just a week ago i was using it just fine with my pc
should i take it to a store to check my micro usb port??
noone??
today i replaced the screen with a new one witch had a new usb dock on it and the problem is still here
i can not connect it to any pc.
i cann't flash the stock rom because odin is not see it also
is it possible to be a rom problem????
i can't flash the stock one because of the usb issue
but i think i can download another lollipop rom to give it a try.
Have you made sure that it is set as MTP?
Setting - Storage - USB.
Check if the device gets connected in Fastboot mode. If it doesn't then it would be your USB.
sideload is not working either
usb is brand new and original.
is there a way to flash stock rom via recovery?

A800i USBsettings has stopped

Guys could anyone help me?
My phone is Samsung A8 variant A800i non-rooted and already 6.0.1.
Eversince I upgraded to MM thru ODIN I am encountering an error in my OTG as in it won't read any disk... the only resort to make the otg work again is to reflash my phone. However during the most recent otg failure, a "USBsettings has stopped" was shown. I factory reset my phone but still this notification appears everytime I start my phone. So when I decided to reflash my phone, I was shocked that my laptop only charges my phone. It can't even detect my files thru mtp connection.
I tried the following and my laptop still can't detect my phone:
1. At the Developers Option I tried to switch the USB Configuration from MTP to Charging to MTP and various other switching, while connected and unconnected to laptop.
2. Dialled *#0808# to reset USBsettings but I am only getting "USBsettings" has stopped.
3. I reinstalled the USBsettings.apk from the system folder (via total commander).
4. I have installed USBsettings.apk taken from another phone.
By the way before I tried the above methods I have already eliminated the cable and pc problems since using the same cable and laptop, I can connect my other samsung phone thru mtp and is detected by odin. I have also tried various other desktop on Windows 7 and 10 but still the same problem: these only charges my phone.
Moreover, there is no abnormality in my charging time eversince this happened.
Hope someone could help me make this work again.
Thank You.

I really hope you found a solution. Ive been looking an answer for this annoying problem for 6 months!
Ive read almost 50 threads in differents forums about this problem but no solution at all.
- Tried changing charging port. Cost me a few dollars but no solution.
- Tried USB debugging on and off from developers menu.
- Did MTP+ADB option in *#*#0808#* menu.
- Turned Low Battery Dump "on" in *#*#0808#* menu.
- Tried 10 or more different original Samsung cables.
- Upgraded PC USB drivers.
None of them worked for me.
Hope you have made a progress.
