I am having a problem with my USB connection, it's gotten a bit warped...probably from all my rooting and Odining! I can charge with it, but my computer will not recognize it. I have the Total Equipment Protection, so I should be able to get this fixed, but I want to return to stock before bringing it in. I would Odin the phone, but at the moment, because of the USB issues, Odin is not recognizing the phone. I looked for links to flashing Stock without Odin in this forum, but they seem to be pretty old. Is there I flashable zip file I can use in CWM that will return my phone to the current unrooted stock rom?

I don't think. So. Even if you could get full stock your boot recovery will not be stock. But I could be wrong. Which end is bad the phone side or the usb side. You can always try a different port on your computer and see if that will work. Worst comes to worse. You can brick it and get one tell them that you was having charger issues and. And you went to plug your phone into the pc and you droped it and it wouldn't turn on.

The best you can do is flash the ReRFS ROM. It looks like stock but you will still have root, custom recovery and superuser. Plus you are stuck with whatever modem baseband you are on.

Doesn't the stock kernel remove root from ReRFS? I think I remember it doing so. Try it, there isn't much to lose. If that works you can just use the stock recovery .zip. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
Another thought: When my PC wouldn't recognize my Epic, I had to reinstall the Galaxy S drivers and then it worked with Odin. You can try that too.

Your best bet is that the cable is busted. That happened to me but I fixed it byyyyy going to sprint and paying 20 bucks for a cable with two ends. One for data, one for charging. Yes, charges 2 devices at one time.

It charges fine, but does not recognize the phone. There is clearly something wrong with the USB connection on the phone, I can feel it, it is a bit loose, wobbly.

Oh ok. Well, it definitely has power! Actually, I had a friend who had a similar problem. His phone was a vibrant, but they are pretty much the same phone. All-in-all, it was trial and error to get it detected. I would get it like maybe 1 out of 40 attempts? We finally returned him to stock via odin, but he ended up getting a replacement. Surely a hardware issue. The weird is though, the computer would only find the phone if it was in download mode? Anyways, keep your phone in download mode, and have odin open. First try to take the battery out, have the cable plugged into your pc, odin is still open, and put your battery in while holding the "1" button. It should boot in download mode, and MAYBE see the phone? Try that. Also, make sure the port you're connecting to (on your pc) is directly attached to the motherboard. Mess with different ports. Let me know if there's any luck.

Oh, it's a hardware issue. I used this cable, and this USB port on my computer, many times without issue until the other day. Even if I do get the phone to appear in Odin, I am not sure I want to flash it that way, as I am afraid I will lose the connection midway, and then where will I be? If I can run a zip file in CWM as mentioned in a post above that seems like a safer way to go, and it's easy enough to copy that to the SD card when it's out of the phone. I would like my phone to look normal before I bring it in. It will probably be a couple of more days before I do this, though. I am not ready to yet.

Yeah. You can flash a zip and return it to stock, but cwm will still be on there. The only way to return (officially) to stock would be to use odin. This would replace the custom recovery with the stock recovery. Depending on which modem you're on, you can flash a "stock" rom, and put tw launcher on it? As long as you have an updated backup, you can odin. Even if odin fails in the process, this will only soft-brick the device. And that is an easy fix. Just go into download mode and try again. Lol. My buddy with the vibrant had odin fail many times. We actually recovered from the "pc-phone" error screen. If you're getting a replacement, you must put it back to stock. Depending on which insurance/warranty service you're using, it is wise to play it safe. I highly recommend you get a replacement though. Just tell them you have a usb hardware issue.

So I spoke with T-Mobile yesterday and they agreed to send me a new phone for exchange because of a faulty pin on my connector. I can charge my device but it will not detect a USB storage device when plugged in.
It just occured to me that I cannot ODIN to stock! Is there a method that does not involve a Phone to PC connection which will allow me to make this thing appear to be stock? (I am on custom rom and recovery obviously).
If not, what will happen to me if I just send in my current phone with the rom/recovery it is on? Do they actually check? My damage/issue is physical and not software related at all so would my warranty still be voided?
Any input would be immensely helpful! Thanks folks

Next steps would be to somehow return to stock recovery and remove SU without ODIN.
How would I go about doing these?
Well, after trying to charge my Nexus in the car, it appears the USB has gone kaput and only charges the device now (although it doesn't actually say it's charging, the percentage just increases). Anyway, as it would appear a return is in order, I'd like to remove the unlocked sign on my bootloader to be able to send it back, but without USB, the conventional fastboot/adb method is out the window. Anybody got any suggestions? Thanks.
Bump, per chance?

The OP clearly said they are looking for a method that doesn't require USB. So your method suggesting he use wugs toolkit isn't the answer he's looking for. And honestly I don't think there is a way to do it without USB capabilities.

I don't think you can.
I'm not exactly a pro at this, but as far as I know you need fast boot mode to lock/unlock the bootloader.
I installed twrp last night (got bored with cwm) and noticed it has a command line section. I don't know if you could use this to lock the bootloader. If you look up one of the manual guides to locking/unlocking maybe try whatever it says to type in a terminal there?
The only problem is then you couldn't put back the stock recovery.

I would be really surprised if it is not simply a bad micro USB cable. Try another one, if you have it laying around, or pick one up for cheap. My unofficial cable would charge, but not write for some reason.
i had the same problem after using a car charger.After some days that i charged with original charger only, charging icon started working and also fastboot.But usb otg functions were still dead either in twrp recovery or inside the rom.
After i flashed ota update (i was in stock 4.1.2) for 4.2 it magically started fully working.First i thought that it was 4.2 that made it work,but i went back in 4.1.2 (nandroid restore) and it continue to work ok.Of course i dont use anymore 3rd party chargers.I see now that my bootloader is 4.13 but it work ok with 4.1.2 too,so i will not change it to 3.41
I've tried 4 or 5 different cables and no luck unfortunately. Going from my beloved PA 2.54 to stock 4.2 temporarily to see if it fixes it, fingers crossed!
Update: Unfortunately I've not been so lucky problem persists...

My tablet has been working fine for as long as I can remember. It's unlocked and was running a rooted stock rom. All good so far.
I can charge the tablet fine. Thought I would try flashing Paranoid Android. Here's where my problems started.
Plugged the tablet into my PC to backup the contents of the storage, wasn't detected at all. No flicker of anything in device manager. Have hooked it up to a linux machine and watched the output of syslog to see if it was spotted there, but nothing.
Decided to not worry about backing up and did a full wipe, apart from system, to take it back to factory.
No difference.
Downloaded Paranoid Android via the browser and flashed it from CWM. Flashed fine, but still no USB.
Now I want to take it back to stock so I can send it back under warranty, but HOW?
Any bright ideas??
Is there any sort of USB drivers in your device manager relating to your tablet.
You need to remove those drivers, restart and re-plug.
If not, I'd try to download a flash zip, and flash it from the device itself, as you won't be able to flash it from PC if it doesn't recognise it.

The device is completely unrecognised via USB. Drivers don't even come into it.
Suggestions for where I can get a flash zip of the stock rom? As far as I can tell, it doesn't exist.

Nope. Nothing. The USB port is completely useless for anything but charging now.
A friend has just flashed a stock image for me and sent me a nandroid backup of his tablet, going to try and get that onto it now.
And now I'm back with a stock rom, but custom recovery. Need to work out how to flash the stock recovery back from the recovery.img file.
All sorted. Used Flash Image GUI to flash the stock recovery.img back. Only thing I haven't been able to do is relock the bootloader, but I can't see that affecting my RMA.
They're picking it up in the next couple of days then should be no more than 10 days to get it back to me.

An unlocked bootloader is a voided warranty. In all likelyhood, they will reject the warranty validity and make you pay for repairs.

Hi, so did you fix the problem and you PC is recognizing the tablet now ? I still have the same problem, the PC doesn't see the tablet, even as a unknown device or something else. Is the same as i do not plug it, the only difference is that is charging.
If you fixed this problem .. how did you do it ?
Hi,
Yeah I RMA'd it with Asus and they repaired it under warranty. It's still going strong now running CM.

If you have changed the USB port check the connection at both ends of the ribbon cable if they are both OK then the motherboard is at fault. The nexus7 has the worst protective circuitry I've ever seen on a device so its easy to inadvertently damage the motherboard.

That is correct. I received it back yesterday & the replaced the mainboard again. This time they put in a 8G board instead of a 32G so it had to go right back. I am not sure if it ever be fixed, there is something going on. I should not have had to send it in 3 times for the some issue.
So, short of it is I installed TWRP using freegee, which worked correctly. I had a rom on my storage, and did a wipe twice, but now the rom I had on the SD isn't there anymore and not sure what I should do. I search to figure out how to mount or side load the rom on the SD again, but not sure. Any ideas?
My last resort is to go to Best Buy where I bought the phone the other day and just say my phone is stuck on the LG logo and not sure why, it is possible to swap out phones, and hope they let me?
If I get an OTG UBS cable, and put the file on a external USB or USB sd card reader, will that work?

Did you not create a backup before flashing?
Backup was deleted too, or else I would have used it.
Ok since you mess up ! And dont know how to use adb. I suggest you use LG Flash Tool to go back to factory stock so you can go back to stock. And Noooooo returning the phone when it's rooted won't work you have alvery void your warranty by doing that they won't take the phone like that since they can just check if the phone was being rooted and there is no way right now to remove the counter.

Here ya go buddy.. This is the easiest way.. Flashtool

Well I would think ADB flash tool should work if I was able to root via command prompt. I know I had the drivers installed. I will try a different usb cable, and usb port. On a side note if I get an OTG cable and use a SD card with a usb reader will I be able to use that to just flash a rom?
With adb, I click adb sideload, and then let in starting sideload features mode in the fastboot folder I open command prompt and type adb push rom.zip with rom.zip being the new rom i want to install, right? But, when I tried that nothing really happens.
This one is specific for Verizon, if you have the Verizon model since you never specified. Try this or the other one posted. And also read up a little more you seem a tad on the short end lol ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
