[Q] How to return to stock recovery and rom without USB

Hi guys,
Im actually using samsung galaxy s GT-9001 and have recently ran into a serious problem. actually two
Problem 1 : Usb cable malfuction
Im unable to connect my phone to pc, windows reports unrecognised device (was able before, tried few PC, cables) , furthermore im unable to charge my device unless i remove the battery, connect the charger then put the battery back up. Also noticed if i just put the charger on turned off device it boots instantly (skiping the option to charged as turned off), it does charge over USB, but does not recognise it.
Problem 2 : How to return to stock recovery and rom without USB
In regards to my problem number 1 , i have decided to give a shot at warranty, unfortunately cannot get rid of my CWM and custom ROM without ODIN. Any ideas how i could go back to stock rom + stock recovery without USB cable?
ps: Only created this thread as my last resort, after countless hours of browsing and testing. Please help

furthermore im unable to charge my device unless i remove the battery, connect the charger then put the battery back up. [/QUOTE]
Have you tried cleaning the contacts on battery and phone?

[Q] USB Port Charges but no sync/detection by PC.

hi guys, just to say that i read and have been reading for almost 2 weeks now on everything i could find and seems no one has been able to fix.
Some threads go on for 4 pages and then it turns out to be the cable etc which i found fustrating as surely should of have checked cable first before posting.
Anyhow, my usb stopped working randomly, it charges fine but doesnt connect to computer what so ever, as if i never plug it in. If i do plug in a OTG cable to the phone it says usb connected and then disappears.
What i've done so far after countless hours of reading.
- Replaced USB connector with new part
- Reflashed a stock rom with mobile Odin pro
- Flashed PURE Google Rom 4.3 pre rooted with TWRP,
- installed CWM Phillz touch revocovery over TWRP
- Tried phone on 3 different computers all with kies and drivers installed, no luck.
- Tried many different cables
- Tried other samsung phones with those cables on all pc's work fine.
- Updated kernel via odin
- Tried to boot without micro SD card inserted etc.
Is there anything else that i missed? Anything else you could suggest? maybe i put the wrong rom on? possibly a PIT error?
bear in mind phones warranty is VOID untill i can get the USB working again. or even maybe because i replaced the usb connector my self if they can tell i opened the phone then also void.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the super late reply as I was doing donkey hours at work due to colleagues not turning up.
Eitherway, I tried that solution for me and that was also a no go. Mount unsuccessful for the error iirc.
Would it help to say that i used to connect my external hdd to the phone previously and used to do so with a OTG cable and when the phone didn't read my hdds because they were ntfs i used a program called stickmount pro and others, possibly could it be that those programs caused an error?
Also i have come to realize that my memory card has now been corrupted and I can't read some of the data on it while in the phone or while using an external card reader.
Could this possibly be anything to do with the PIT? As that's the only thing I think I havnt been able to do?

Unbrick S4 without USB

Hello,, I have a galaxy s4 running on Omega rom,, and my usb porn doesnt work,
I did a factory reset to find that ALL the apps crash on startup
If the usb porn was working I would have just flashed the stock firmware,, but any operation that needs USB is impossible
Can you please help me? Isnt there a solution?

** It's USB port , not USB porn **
What exactly do you mean by that?
1) Do you have USB cable connected to PC and your PC does not detect it?It could be a cable problem.Have you try a different one?
2) It could also be a driver problem.Do you have installed the correct drivers so your PC can detect your phone right?
Also if you had a custom rom flashed to your phone you can make it work again just by flashing it back using a custom recovery.Format system , data , boot and cache partitions and make a clean install of your rom.If you have not a custom recovery I am afraid you have to flash your phone through USB.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your help
Apologies for that mistake I'm still getting used to my new keyboard..
The USB port doesn't work meaning it neither charges nor connects to pc, because when it was charging, I smelled some plastic burning, could be a short circuit
And I don't have the Zip of the rom anymore on the phone, could it be possible to put an SD card and flash another one that is guarenteed to work?
And yes I have custom recovery

Yes just put a rom on your sd card and flash it.

Yes.If you have access to recovery you can just connect you sdcard to PC with an adapter and put the zip of your rom inside.Then put it but to your phone and flash it back.
You could also try to mount your sdcard to PC from your custom recovery and you put the zip of your choice inside.

USB contectivity issues - including Download mode

Hi,
I have rooted my phone few mounts ago, and now I run the LightROM with anroid 9.0
Now I want to go back to stock, so I downloaded some latest ROM (DBT) and tried to use Odin to flash it.
BTW, I want to go back to stock since I have some reception issues that I think could be solved by using a stock rom (stock modem).
But I can't detect the phone in Odin, the phone is not recognized by any computer I used (already tried 4).
So I can't use Odin.
Some background, I can't use fast cable charging from some reason, I think it's an hardware issue and not software (it's been the same with any ROM I tried).
In addition I just noticed that I can't even detect my phone as portable drive, the computer doesn't detect it and the device manager doesn't show any new device when I connect the USD cable to my phone.
I also tried to play with the developer settings and the default USB settings, nothing works.
Charging using cable works, but not fast charging.
Currently I'm using fast wireless charging to charge my phone.
Do you have any idea how to resolve my issue to be able to flash stock rom?

Question about flashing custom ROM without pc

Back in 2014 my device stopped charging with USB. I just happened to find it the other day and put it on a wireless charger and lo and behold my Nexus is alive again. Back then I used to do a lot of flashing ROMs but I'm very rusty now. It has a custom rom called Vanir on it and is rooted and has twrp. If I just download a custom rom to the device will I be able to go into recovery and install it? My laptop just died on me and I can't use it to flash the ROM. I just want to try something different for fun.
Thanks!
Edit: the USB won't work even if my laptop hadn't died.

Download custom recovery to internal memory. Make sure it's not saved in to system directory, but internal sdcard directory. Boot in to recovery mode, wipe cache, then chose install and find your custom ROM. Press install. Make sure custom ROM is definitely made for your device and was confirmed to work without any issues. USB stops working for few reasons. First and easiest to fix is damaged USB socket. You can replace it by buying a new or second hand one. Second reason is short on OTG activation pin. If its's shorted to GND, USB charging will not work and no communication with computer possible. There is a lot of possibilities where this short could have happened. On my 3G device this happened under main processor, and the only way I managed to revive it was injecting 1V to OTG activation pin, which somehow made short disappear.
