USB C charging issue - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So after getting around to installing the July security patch a couple days ago USB C charging stopped working on my Nexus 6P. If I use a USB A to USB C cable it will charge, but not if I use USB C to USB C. This persisted over multiple cable and chargers.
I tried to wipe the cache but had a problem getting into recovery - I could get to the boot loader but when i select Recovery i get a 'No Command' error screen. (eventually i found out i could power and volume up from this screen to get recovery, but the wipe cache didn't fix anything.)
Then I installed Oreo hoping that would take care of the issue but no luck. Any thoughts? Anybody else get this from the security patch?
Google support has not been particularly helpful.

Hi, i just started getting this issue today. I installed android O yesterday. My original charger which is C to C wont work but C to A will work fine. I've also had my 6p not recognized by my pc. It only charges when i plug it in. Tried different cables, different computers, but I think it might by my charging port. Google support tried, they didn't know what was going on.
But I'm stuck without a custom recovery right now and have lost root access. But phone is working fine. Messed up during flashing, didnt flash custom recovery thinking twrp would be intact but nope. And I cant use ADB to reflash anything cause my stupid 6p wont get recognized by my pc. haha

haha. use bootloader mode and fastboot flash the TWRP you overwrote when you flashed over recovery. ADB only works in Recovery, but fastboot works in bootloader mode which previously said you can access.

[Q] HELP with recovery, no usb access to nexus 7, not detecting with official cable.

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?

Nexus 7 2012 No rom, adb or fastboot

Okay so i have a nexus 7 right? yes, but im fairly custom to rooting and all that stuff. Well im not a nub at this stuff but i need help once in a while XD, i just got the thing to turn on again i let it die completely and the charging bug decided that it wouldn't charge. I ended up jump starting the battery and now it turns on but now i plug it in it turns on right? yes it does but now i can get access to any data thats on it. (P.S there isnt any data on it since i had to wipe cyanogenmod 6.0.1 off it) and theres only twrp recovery on the tablet, i can access twrp and the boot loader (unlocked obviously) but i cant access fast boot or push files via adb. The charging port is still good on it i know that we had it tested on a friends tablet and it worked fine. OTG usb doesn't work either i cant seem to get data on the tablet but it turns on when i plug it in, it doesnt charge when plugged into a wall adapter or a pc it just turns on when plugged into a pc. Any and all info is appreciated. (sorry for my spelling errors if there is any, also i am on linux so i dont need drivers as far as i know, i also tried on windows and its a no go the device doesnt show up on either os)
nexus 7 2012 btw

Eh just dont bother guys im pretty sure its dead, the nexus help forums didnt have anything.

Thanks for the help but sadly ive tried that...
As the device can go into fastboot and twrp with adb and otg without data transfer being possible I'd say most likely the port is broken.
Just to be sure no adb or fastboot commands work at all right? even those which don't transfer files. If they work then your partition layout is messed up which could be fixed

Did you try to charge the N7 via wall adpater or the pc? Did you use the genuine charger that comes with the device? What does it look like when you plug it into your pc? Did it show up as a mtp device (or any kind of device) ?
Try charging the N7 with genuine charger, or via pc. Make sure you install the driver for the N7 (go google it) before plugging in. Judging by your status, it appears that you're having a defective charging port or mainboard. Usually you'll end up sending it to the manufacturer to get them replaced (hope that it won't happen :3 ).
Have you used the push files and adb function on TWRP? To the best of my knowledge, these errors don't come about often in TWRP. If you don't know to use it, look it up on Google or the Xda threads. One more thing, losing fastboot is pretty rare with N7, so if you're not sure whether the fastboot is VANISHED, go to this link: http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...1477-guide-nexus-7-factory-image-restore.html
You can contact me for more insight if all that doesn't satisfy you: [email protected]
Glad that I could help.

USB Device not recognized on Windows

I have a dilemma. This morning my usb was working fine but I needed to get back to stock and unrooted. I flashed the system.img from the NDR90X factory image and wiped my data (not userdata however because I didn't want to lose everything) the phone booted up just fine and operates fine, other then it doesn't mount on my pc anymore. fastboot and adb do not work for me either. I tried mounting on both windows and linux, I tried using another computer, and I have tried mounting through the recovery. none of these have worked. I cant try going back to complete stock because fastboot is not recognizing the device either. the phone still charges fine with no problems. But I still am getting the feeling that maybe the usb port has malfunction. I was hoping that maybe someone could help me with this problem and reaching a solution. I don't know if I can contact google about this problem because my device cannot be returned to completely stock.
I forgot to mention that after flashing the stock system.img I also flashed TWRP, and since then I am back on a custom rom to see if maybe that would fix my problem. However it still persists.
I have uploaded a picture showing what error message I am getting on windows.
Reinstall the USB drivers

Turns out it was the USB that doesn't work. When I got home I tried another USB that I have and it works fine.

Wiped H1511 - can't transfer files anymore

Hi, looking for some 2nd thoughts on this before I throw this phone away. I got this Nexus 6P a year ago and put purenexus into it along with TWRP, everything was going great. Had an issue with a car charger, the charger port heated up badly and I couldn't charge it. After messing around with it I finally got it to charge but not rapidly (no big deal). Now I tried to upgrade the purenexus version and had some booting issues. So I tried to mess around with the versions and in the process I accidentally wiped the data on the phone. Now the charger port charges but I cannot connect to the PC (as in nothing detected in device manager, no sound of plugnplay or anything). I cannot boot to transfer files with the wifi because there is nothing to boot to. 6P has not ext SD port so I cant put files in. TWRP has also a sideload on the install version but ADB doesnt see the device in any state (obviously if the pc doesnt see it). Finally, I figure I just had to change the charger port so I ordered a new port, put it in and same thing. Phone charges but not detected by any PC. I don't think there's another way to put a rom image on the internal SD but if there is I am all ears.

Hi... Seems like you already tried all the available options. How about bootloader? Is the phone detected? Try to reboot in bootloader and issue: fastboot devices
If your phone is recognized, you can try installing a factory image.
Just in case, download last adb/fastboot version from Google directly:

No USB Data Function OTG/EDL/Fastboot/ADB!

DEVICE: OnePlus 6T T-Mobile flashed to International 10.3.8 OOS bluspark kernel, Magisk, TWRP, unlocked boot loader.
CURRENT SITUATION: Currently, lost magisk, twrp, and am factory reset/wiped to stock OOS 10.3.8 have no USB function through OTG, EDL, Fastboot, or ADB. I HAD all of that properly setup and working just days ago. USB only works for charging now. Phone “works” otherwise. Just can’t use USB for DATA, or push recovery, root it now. Which my main reason I bought this phone used was for having root.
HOW: I had everything running and setup how I wanted. But in TWRP recently (not from beginning of owning the device) when I flashed stuff or switch slot A/B in TWRP I would get a warning saying “unable to mount storage” even though the flash file would complete successfully and slot would change. Then when plugging in my USB C OTG drive the phone no longer picked it up. THEN I noticed I couldn’t ADB into the phone. I plugged it into the same cable and USB 2.0 port that had been used fine for a couple weeks. So even though I had everything working fine otherwise I decided to “fix” this problem and try some things which stupidly got me to now a “kinda working” never again to be rooted device. Useless to me. I thought I would reach out here for last ditch effort for any options I missed before trying to sell on eBay for whatever I can for the state it’s in. Can’t post on OnePlus forums for two weeks and OnePlus support sent me template support reply that was no help. Repair would cost more than what I paid for the phone anyway.
I HAVE TRIED: Different cables, different PCs and ports. Full reset from stock recovery option, installing 10.3.8 zip in Local Upgrade to see if it would help anything. I have USB debugging on. No matter what when I plug it into PC I get nothing in Device Manager pop up, no indication from my computer anything has been plugged in. Only thing that happens is the phone starts charging. Doesn’t matter if in OOS, or boot loader. Trying to boot to EDL does nothing. My previously installed Qualcomm driver didn’t indicate anything was plugged in neither does MSM tool. Uninstalled reinstalled drivers. Nada. Think it’s a hardware problem because the phone should pick up in edl or fast boot at least, or the OTG stick. But nothing. Sucks. Hindsight if I had known this was going to be the result I would have never messed with it and left as it was rooted and recovery. Now it’s just a no fun device I’m going to have to part with. Also of note if I have the cable plugged in and try to reboot the phone doesn’t power back on. I have to unplug it then hold volume + PWR to get it to turn back on.
Thanks for reading maybe someone has options but I’m thinking I’m SOL without USB function I can’t get recovery or root back ever.
