First
marcussmith2626 said:
the device might have trouble enumerating especially in windows 8.1
plug it in as normal
then plug any other usb dongle in like a wireless mouse thats already been installed
this will force windows into enumerating the device
if it doesnt work then most likely the port is damaged due the water damage it suffered

it took me months to figure that one out - even microsoft and samsung hadnt got any ideas
its because windows 8.1 has changed the usb stack and requires that all drivers be digitally signed and has an identifer that the bios can read
this means some old usb device didnt work unless they met condition already although new drivers became available for most things but for some reason samsung havent updated their usb drivers in years (May 5, 2011 is last officall release) so im guessing thats why it doesnt fully work in windows 8.1 and im sure the problem is because its not properly signed so the device fails to enumerate unless you do the plugging in another usb device
other old phones work fine like htc and new samsung phones also work fine so its properly just a strange issue with the way the galaxy y handles usb

unfortunatly thats the only solution iv found for windows 8.1 - if you restart the phone or remove the usb cable you have to go through the process again of unplugging cable plugging back in then plugging any other usb dongle in after - its the only way iv found for windows 8.1 to enumerate the device

[Q] Cannot connect to PC - Cyanogenmod 11

Trying to use odin to flash the stock rom but I cannot connect to pc. I have the correct drivers and usb cable and have tried 2 different pc's that have worked in the past. Running cyanogenmod 11. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Perhaps bad cable, or try different usb port.

Does it recognize the phone at all when it's connected? Does the phone recognize it's being charged? Are you on Windows 7?

Do the ##3284# Menu an see if MTP and ADB is checked.
If that doesn't work find a USB Storage app from the play store and that forces it in that mode. If that still doesn't work then you need to gather up all your Micro USB cords and try every one. Or use the one that came in the box
I had that same problem before, I fixed it by uninstalling drivers and installing again. Maybe flash another rom and see if that works. I know if you have usb fast charging enabled enabled on ktkernel that will prevent your computer from recognizing phone. Good luck

I do same kind of prob with my PC. The root of problem is mostly the USB cable itself. I've got the stock nXs⁴ cable yet after a year its out I think. When that happens try some many cable.
The prob might even occur due to MTP. If debugging is enable then ADB would recognize nXs⁴ as offline and no Portable media device would be visible in My PC. In that case try restarting PC!

[Q] My phone only boots into bootloader

My phone was updated to 5.1 a week ago. Its stock not rooted. I was watching netflix and it got stuck so I pressed power button 10-15 seconds to turn it off. Tried to turn it on and now it only boots into bootloader .Blank screen if I try to open recovery. I am using windows 8.1 ,tried to install universal naked drivers and Skipsoft unified android toolkit but still my computer does not detect my phone. So I cannot do anything without my pc detecting my phone. Please help!.

Is that also running Windows 8.1? I don't have experience with 8.1 but I've heard it causes problems detecting devices. Try Windows 7, if it still doesn't pick up a sound, check your USB drivers under Device Manager. Make sure 'Google Nexus ADB is listed.'

I tried it with windows 7 too , no sound or whatsoever. I am guessing internal sd card is dead or something.

I'm assuming you are on stock ROM with locked bootloader? It's possible when you manually powered down your phone it corrupted your ROM and recovery along with it.
This is a long shot but try to uninstall skipsoft and naked drivers. Install Android SDK. Have a read through this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_fastboot_intro. If you can get fastboot to register then your phone may be saved yet. Or if you already tried all this and it still doesn't work then there's nothing more I can assist you with. Good luck.

Just FYI, on Windows 8.1, the issue you heard about had to do with MS pushing an Asus Generic USB Driver update which was the cause of the issue. Here is the fix: http://www.eightforums.com/drivers-...usb-issue-since-last-windows-8-1-updates.html

Nexus 4 bricked, no OS, no recovery.

Hello
I tried a Nougat rom for the Nexus 4 which was available as a full update package (including system bootloader rom etc) and installed it with the update command from adb instead of from custom rom.
now my phone is bricked and I cant seem to get it fixed.
It either gets stuck in a bootloop, or i can force switch it to bootloader mode. From there I can go to recovery but the stock recovery is useless.
Problem is when i connect this to my windows 10 pc, it shows no sign of being detected. I installed drivers over and over including the universal ADB and fastboot drivers available here on XDA. it doesnt show up under adb devices command and even the Nexus 4 rootkit doesnt detect it as a phone.
I wanna make this phone working again. I'm guessing the way is to go back to stock image and then re-root and re-flash custom recovery and ROM. but even for this, it should be detected by the PC and adb command and rootkit right? Is there something I'm overlooking here?
This is the ROM I tried
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/fake-nexus-rom-nexus-4-t3230268
The way to install it is also mentioned there and that is exactly what I did.
Did you try this adb installer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
In that thread, I read the people are able to use adb on Windows 10. If that doesn't work, find a Windows 7 PC or boot to ubuntu using bootable pendrive and flash the factory images using fastboot.

I read many users complaining about that. You can try that installer; as I mentioned - users have reported that they were able to use adb on Windows 10 after installing adb using that installer. If that doesn't work try the second suggestion (Ubuntu/ Linux)

i tried the installer but it made no difference. i tried it my win 7 partition as well but it didnt show up in the device manager.. i think usb debugging must have been disabled with my new rom flash. but even then i dont get why it wont show up as anything in devman...
any command i try ends with waiting for device and since i cant find the device in devman I cant even update the driver manually. I guess I could give linux a shot
Hey I finally figured out the problem. Its unbelievable. The usb port of the device was slightly bent in such a way that every cable I tried never really connected with the phone. I twisted it up a little and now its being detected as fastboot. The drivers you provided work like a charm now. Thanks for all the help !

It seems I have the same prob, as my N4 too doesn't get detected. But my ph can charge with USB when I connect to PC.
How you twisted USB port? I mean it has very less room to insert any tool.
