Hello, I bought a tablet that had a broken windows. It just boots up to a screen asking for recovery media. Unfortunately when I plugged in a usb keyboard to access bios I decided to fiddle with the usb settings, and result, now usb devices are not recognized I was trying to find a way to make a usb hub to work in order to have a keyboard attached simultaneously with a usb stick, to install windows.
Now I am stuck with this, since I cant find a way to reset the bios, is there anything that can be done since no key combination will reset this and no reset button exists on this tab?
can anybody help out on this matter or is the device a lost cause? Somehow I can't believe, only things I need is a bios reset and a usb hub that allows me to use a bootable usb stick and keyboard for install?

Hi guys ,my problem is that when I connect my phone via USB cable at first there is no problem, data transfer , windows mobile device center, everything is OK. But when I want to flash the phone pressing vol-down + switch on/off keys the phone is not connected to the PC. And I can't flash it. Also the phone wouldn't like charge trough the charger ,only with the data cable. Is it possible to have any liaison between the problem with charging with charger and no-connection when try to flash.
Also my phone was to the service for touch-screen change ,is it possible the technician make any mistake ? Cause I think that if he make a mistake with the connector nothing gonna work ,but it works at different situations.
Regards!
check to be sure USB SYNC driver installed correctly and also try a different usb cable.
I'll try but there is no logic ,the cable works when charge the phone, works when is connected to device manager but doesn't works when flashing ?
exactly. the device requires different drivers.
1. there is internet sharing and disk mode (which works with all computers, because those drivers are in the operating system)
2. then there is one driver for syncing
3. and another one for flashing
it is not the same kind of data transfer, which is why you need a different driver. but the thread "[tut] updating htc sync drivers" should cover all your windows vista/7 driver needs and a tutorial on how to install them, which in case of a x64 system can be fairly complicated.
if you already have hspl installed (which you can determine by entering bootloader mode and looking whether it says 1.56Olinex), you can also flash using the sd car method. put a rom of your choice on the sd card, name in BLACIMG.nbh and enter bootloader mode, you will be presented with options to flash the rom.
Ok, but in instructions at the thread you give me is written that I have to start making the steps after I see "USB" on the flashing screen. But I don't see it, it's only "Serial". And now what ? I know that if on the screen i written "USB" the phone and the computer are connected and there is no problem to flash ,but now what ?
well, before you start, put your device into bootloader mode. it will show "serial", then connect it to the pc. test your connection using mtty 1.42 (you'll find several download options here in the forum).
the connection settings for mtty are USB 115200-8-1-No-NONE-None
if it works, connect and press enter, the command shell should show USB> then.
if usb is not present in the connection settings, your connection is not established yet. proceed with the tutorial then. during the entire procedure, the device should remain connected to the pc in bootloader mode, so you install the driver for the right device state.
Hello,
I've problem something like this. Few months ago when i was conecting my phone to computer was everything OK, activesync, disk drive, but now nothing, just charging the phone. I've tryed everything in USB to pc zone, but nothing. When i'm going to bootloader it's writen serial. What can be here?
since you already tried all the different connection methods and even bootloader mode does not connect, there are hardly any options left, where the trouble could be:
- the usb port on the blackstone
- the usb port on the pc
- the cable
you can try another port on the pc (or even better, another pc altogether) and/or another cable, like from a digital camera, an external hdd... (many devices have mini usb cables, you should be able to use either one of those)
I never thought I'd have to go as far as create a thread pleading for help, but after a lot of Google searching I still cannot find someone with the same problem.
I will explain:
I am trying to use fastboot, which I (don't think) I've any problems with in the past.
I can issue commands in normal use via adb from my PC fine.
I can adb reboot bootloader ok, and can get into the bootloader any other way just fine.
I can use the volume keys to navigate the options in the bootloader just fine.
The problem comes with I connect the USB to my PC whilst in fastboot.
Windows fails to recognise the device, and says it may have malfunctioned.
It won't allow me to reinstall the drivers successfully it seems, and seems to have a problem with the USB Host Controller too.
Fastboot immediately freezes, and I'm unable to even navigate using the volume keys, let alone issue commands from my PC.
My question then is twofold:
1. Is there likely to be a problem with the USB port on my device, or some sort of bootloader corruption?
2. Is it possible to return to stock Android without using fastboot?
Finally, I would like to stress that I've seen plenty of similar looking threads, but it seemed that the posters of those threads merely had problems getting in to the bootloader or recovery.
I haven't got that problem, the problem only arises when a USB is connected to the PC, the tablet becomes unresponsive only in bootloader mode.
If anyone has any advice to offer at all, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Additionally, if the problem is solved, I will post a detailed set of instructions in case anybody else should encounter a similar problem in the future.
__________________________________________________________
Update for anyone who happens to read this in the future:
[This guide](http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...3923-guide-nexus-4-factory-image-restore.html) has a useful FAQ at the bottom which helped a little.
I think I managed to determine the problem was likely a duff usb connection, either on my Nexus or on my computer.
I was able to just about hobble through by keeping the cable in the same place.
In case it wasn't just this, this is what I did:
1. Flashed TWRP recovery from their app.
Went into bootloader and failed to do anything
2. Flashed CWM recovery.
Managed to be recognised in fastboot.
I still had problems with my Nexus 'malfunctioning' -- possible the USB.
I updated the drivers using the ones from [this thread](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979).
3. Flashed a new bootloader image immediately (there were rumours that a dodgy version had been released accidentally). [This](http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489996594) is the one I used.
Then I managed to get the stock ROM flashed, and the bootloader locked up again.
Fastboot freezes whenever USB plugged in
I'm having a problem with this step...
1. When booting to fastboot with any sort of USB plugged in, your buttons on the side may not respond. In this case, pull the cable and hold down power + Vol Down until it reboots. The buttons should now respond and you can plug USB back in if you wish.
the problem is that whenever the USB cable is plugged in, the buttons don't navigate through the options.
however, whenever the usb is NOT plugged in (and rebooted bootloader) the button work just fine.
I don't have a recovery currently installed.
The issue is not with drivers on the computer,
happens while usb plugged in both windows and linux or simply just plugged into a wall outlet to charge and with different USB cables.
I need to load fastboot but i'm having this issue. Is the device bricked without hope?
any help would be appreciated.
Nexus 7 2012 Model (grouper)
Boatloader version 3.34
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?
Okay, so i have a Samsung S4 (i9505) running cm12 (5.1.1). The problem I'm facing is that it won't connect to my laptop (or multiple other computers i've tried, also tried downloading and deleting stuff of windows which didnt work either) via the usb cable, i've also tried mounting multiple USB's (Through an otg adapter), which also didn't work.
I've tried turnign debugging on and off, ADB on and off, developer options on and off. I came to my last resort today, resetting it. I reset it, the samsung boot logo came up it then went into TWRP, though the TWRP logo just kept flashing on and off (i read somewhere this means that its corrupt but im not sure). The only way i could get the phone to boot was by pressing the: home + volume down & power buttons and then pressing down (cancel) on the custom OS warning screen.
The problem now that im facing is, i cant reset my phone, mount anything via the usb or connect it to any computer. If someone could help me, that'd be greatly appreciated.
my nexus 6 will only charge no data transfer and pc wont recognize it. When i connect it to the pc it goes staright to charge mode and the usb trident symbol doesnt ever appear. In developer options usb configure is stuck in "charge mode" only. Ive tried different roms from pie to mm . i reinstalled bootloader and radio, tried twrp back ups and still the same. Had new charging port put in phone thinking that was the problem but didnt help. Ive searched google but couldnt find anything. Any Ideas, really appreciate it thx
When I installed stock rom which was android 7.1 it changed phone back to encrypted. Now i have to format internal drive in order to install a pie rom. Does anyone think that formatting internal drive might fix problem with not being able to do anything but charge phone from usb port, because if that doesnt fix it there would be no way for me to put any rom on my internal drive to install it.. Does anyone have any suggestions

Just to double check that adb devices shows your serial #. If not, it may be a driver issue.
Computer doesn’t see it, when I enter adb devices it doesn’t show up. Nothing shows up in device manager either: Also when I enter fast boot on the phone “power lower volume button” it says “connect usb data cable” I’ve trued numerous cables that work fine on my other phone. So it’s not the cable. After I plug them into phone it still says connect usb data cable.
I also have a thumb drive with a micro usb connecter that used to work on the phone. Now the phone doesn’t see it when you plug it in to the phone. But it works on my other phone so it’s not the thumb drive

It sounds like a driver problem. Is it a windows PC? Have you tried installing the Google USB driver? I've had similar issues, and reinstalling the driver(s) has worked for me.
It’s windows 10 and I reinstalled driver, other thing is in my car when I plug it in to the usb slot for android auto, it doesn’t show up in my car either and it used too.
It’s like the phone is stuck in charge only mode and I can’t get it out of that

When you connect your other phone to your PC, does its serial # show up in adb devices? If so, I'm out of suggestions.
1 more thing.. Have you enabled USB debugging in Developer Options?
Other phones shows up and in devolpers options in “usb configuration” you can set it to mtp but when you hit enter it goes back to charge only. I was on” aiop 14.0 rom” when it happened but it was working fine on that rom , then one day android auto kept saying connect usb, so when I got home I tried to plug it into pc and nothing. So I replaced charging port thinking that was problem but it didn’t help. Flashed other roms and even went back to stock, reflashed bootloader nothing helped. I was hoping someone here had seen this before cause I googled it and nothing like this could I find

Forget USB configuration for a minute. In developer options, under debugging, USB debugging needs to be enabled.
usb debugging is enable also. even tried turning it off and back on again, didnt help.
you know when you connect phone to pc and you normally see the usb trident symbol on your phone, well when i connect it to the pc i dont see that symbol it just goes straight to charging but even charging i should still see the usb symbol and i dont,
