Hi All
I am looking for an update.zip file I can use to flash the stock 6.0.1 rom again over my existing version to fix a USB connection issue. I need a Samsung OTA update.zip which can be flashed from the stock recovery via an sd card.
This has come to light as I've recently tried to update my note 4 to nougat but came across an issue where the phone will not connect with my PC via USB. I have tried all the usual tricks on the phone (dev options, usb debugging, MTP+ADB etc) but nothing was working. In the end I have replaced the micro usb daughter board on the phone thinking there must be an issue with the data pins but the phone still refuses to connect but charges fine. Strangely the phone thinks it's connected fine but the PC says it is not getting a device descriptor response. I have checked drivers etc and also tried 3 other PCs all of which connect to my old S4 without issue. I have also tried various USB cables including a new genuine samsung one.
Due to not being able to connect to a PC in any mode (such as odin download mode or recovery) and having the stock recovery without root my only hope is that a new update.zip will sort out corruption from the last OTA update. I believe this may be the reason as I was able to connect fine until the most recent update a couple of weeks ago. I have tried using a zip from the samfirm downloader but the recovery failed immediately with 'unable to map file'
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to be stuck on Marshmallow now Samsung will no longer be updating the Note 4.
I have tried connecting in MTP mode, odin download and recovery mode with usb debug both on and off
Many Thanks
Luke

Hello!
I have royally F***** up my phone so if there are any geniuses out there, I will be so happy to hear your thoughts on my issue.
Here's my problem and I am open to any solution:
-My phone isn't rooted so CMW, TWRP, and any other custom recoveries are not an option.
-USB doesn't work
-Factory reset doesn't help (I've tried both ways)
-Any installs via extSD get the signature fail notification
-USB debugging is checked
-Allow apps from unknown source is checked
-App verification is unchecked
-Any kind of app that is meant to root my phone doesn't work
Thank you in advance!
Can you put it into download mode? If you can then you should be able to odin a custom recovery or odin the stock rom back to your phone and start from scratch. Have you downloaded the Samsung USB drivers? Only use the cable that came with your phone, others may not work or charge only. Also, try a different usb port.
Signature fails because you are on the stock recovery and the file you are trying to install hasn't been signed by Samsung.

I can put it into download mode but my phone still isn't recognized. I've tried many different cables, computers, usb ports, etc. I've downloaded the drivers from people posting them on here or on samsungs website directly but either way, i'm using windows 8 and windows 8 does it automatically. this wasn't a problem from the beginning, this just recently started happening and it has nothing to do with my computer or any computer for that matter.
Have you installed the drivers 'as administrator'?
Have you used Odin before?
How did you do what ever it is you think you did?
Have you tried Odin'ing a complete stock .tar? Here's one. Just download zip and extact the .tar.md5 file.
When you launch Odin are you right clicking and running as admin?
Did you put your phone into download mode before connecting it to a RUNNING Odin session. Meaning start Odin on PC as admin. Then put phone into download mode and then plugging it into computer.
Seems you can get into your phone right?
You may also try copying the extracted .tar to your SD card (via PC adapter or whatever) putting the SD card back in your phone and then trying to flash it via Stock Recovery.
Always nice when someone asks for help and then never reports back.
Hello everyone I've got an issue with my Nexus 4 which is why I registered, as I simply don't know what to do anymore.
My Nexus 4 is not recognized via USB at all, there is no connection sound and ist does not appear in the device manager.
It is charging and does show USB charging if I tap the battery icon.
Things I tried:
Uninstall/Install Driver with and without WugFresh Toolkit (USBDeview)
different Pcs (different USB Ports)
different USB cables which all worked with other mobile devices such as Samsung S3/4/5 mini
checking and unchecking MTP,PTP and Usb debugging
fastbootmode
factory reset
replaced the USB flex cable as i figured it would be defect
I tried to root it with some of the apps available bur none of them work with LMY48T.
I think it might be firmware related but because I didn't flash a Custom Recovery the last time I rooted it I have no possibility to flash another rom.
The root access was lost when the last OTA Update arrived which is why I can't install a custom recovery via the clockworkmod Rom Manager.
The Pc I'm working with is running on Win 10 I'm running out of ideas.
Please help me, thank you
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?
Hi guys !
I'm having a strange issue with my S4 i9505. It was running lollipop 5.0.1 Imperium Rom V5.0 (XXUHOD7) and it stopped prompting for MTP-USB notification in notification panel. When i connect the phone, it says me it is charging. I'm using windows 8.1 pro x64 + Genuine Samsung USB cable (which came with the phone) between my S4 and the PC.
Then i tried dialing *#0808# in phone app and choose MTP+ADB in USB connection option when the phone was connected to the computer. Nothing happened even if i tried other USB modes (like MTP, Rndis, PTP...). USB internet sharing didn't work either. Changing USB cables and USB ports on the pc didn't change anything either
So i did a factory reset under Philz CWM recovery and flashed an updated version of Imperium Rom v14.0.
USB-MTP was still not working even with *#0808# trick.
So i decided to install Samsung drivers and try a complete stock flash with XXUHOF2 Firmware from Sammobile.com with ODIN v3.09. When the phone was into Download Mode, I connected it via USB and it showed up on ODIN with no problem and then I flashed XXUHOF2 Stock firmware with no errors and no problems at all. The phone rebooted normally and the PASS message appeard in ODIN after ~10 mins.
But the problem still remains, even if flashing a full up to date stock rom with Modem/BL/System + factory reset. The phone still doesn't show into windows as MTP device even with *#0808#.
So i'm wondering if my USB connector is faulty ? Is it possible to be able to flash through ODIN with no problem and not being able to have MTP USB connection ?
I think ODIN flashes phones using Data +/- pins on the USB connector just as MTP do, so they might be good on my S4. May i be wrong ? Is it possible there is an electronic chip behind USB connector of my phone which is misbehaving preventing MTP to work but allowing ODIN to work ?
Do you guys have an explanation of this and do you think replacing USB connector of my S4 would solve the problem ?
I hope my explanations are good and you can help me

Try disabling and enabling USB debugging while the phone is connected.

I have the exact same probleme... Odin work but no mtp....Have you found a solution ?
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.
