My Nexus is stock but it is unlocked.
I have the latest CWM on there (touch 5.8.0.2)
I was currently downloading all the necessary stuff to flash to AOKP but havent even got there yet because all of the sudden my USB isn't working.
I have tried two different cables, the stock one and a different one (both which were working before).
I get charging working through USB but no file transfer.
I just did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache via Recovery, and still nada.
Am I cooked here? B-stock with no warranty from Expansys, now currently kicking myself for not buying brand new.
[edit] yes MTP and USB Debug were/are both checked on
[edit2] a lot of my searches seem to indicate that you can move and transfer via adb in recovery or fastboot while having this error. I am not finding that to be the case.
[edit3] windows 7 does not show any indication of a usb drive or anything plugged in as it used to before. This is obviously making it hard for me to try things like reinstalling drivers and whatnot.
thanks
It probably has nothing to do with the USB port...
Plug your phone into your computer, and then scroll the status bar down. You should see a notification "Connected as xx" Select that, then make sure connect as MTP is checked, if it's connected via ptp (camera) it won't allow you to sync files, for what reason so ever...
If that doesn't help, then reflash stock ROM, that usually helps.. With most problems anyway...
If both of these don't work, then I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'd then call Samsung, and send it in...

Yea MTP was already checked on. USB debugging being on would have auto kicked in as well.
I flashed AOKP but still the same issues. The hardware might have gotten bonked - I hate how fragile these tiny little ports are!
Is there some kind of diagnostic I can run to see if it is truly a hardware issue?
It's the kernel, try another one

Just swapped to Faux kernel... still persists.
I'm really starting to think its the hardware but crossing my fingers there's a fix.
the same thing is happening to me, it started yesterday too!
I am on AOKP b-23, Faux kernel....
plug in my usb, it can charge but absolutely nothing happens on the computer side, try it on number of computers too... but the phone is able to charge.

Mine started doing this. Would charge‚ but sometime I couldn't transfer data or use adb. It seems that the USB didn't like to stay in my computer. Any little movement would unplug it just enough to keep it charging but nothing else.

I've since tested the MHL cable and also tried using the usb host cable to connect a mouse and both work... does that mean my data connection theoretically could be fine?
I'm using AOKP #23 with Trinity and not had this issue at all. Whether it's because I combine the ROM, Gapps and kernel before flashing I don't know but my phone is running fine
im having this problem as well. does anyone have a solution?
So all you guys that are having problems have enabled MTP through Settings >Storage?

Had this same issue yesterday ( phone was 1 day old ) had it plugged into my windows 7 machine and all of sudden the machine couldnt see it. So I wiggled the cable sure enough the computer saw it, jiggled it again and it would lose connection to the PC. Tried this on several PCs with Several cables and same result everytime. If I held the cable connected to the phone at the right angle it would never lose connection.
Ran to Verizon and the numbskull behind counter tried telling me that is normal and I would just have live with it, almost punched him in the throat. Demaded he go get another phone and show me if that one does it. It didnt so he swapped it and was to hasty about it, ended up giving me another cable charger and headphones WOOT WOOT
new phone doesnt do it as of this writing
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539 This is probably the issue you guys are experiencing. Seems like you should swap it in or try to fix it yourself by changing the USB charging board.

i'm an android dev and this has happened to me. really really not good to no longer have adb access to my device. restarted both the phone and computer and tried a different coworker's computer and usb cable with no luck.
i used a samsung usb charger last night which i usually never do (i usually just charge it on the computer) and now this morning i have no data connection.
Hello,
have this problem already on my GNEX. After some reading, i got an idea to turn off Fast Charge in Trickster MOD.
And MTP now working .
Anyway there is an warning about fast charge - " Enabling this will disable access to phone storage" .
Problem solved
Yes, i can't connect mtp too and you rigth..usb fast charging is the problem.

Just so y'all know...Fast Charge is simply tricking your phone into thinking it's plugged into an AC outlet...rather than a USB port.
Thus MTP won't work.
same issue here
I'm having the same issue here. Charging works fine with 2 computers and multiple USB cables (as well as AC and car charger adapters), but data transfer has completely stopped working. My computer won't see my phone at all. I have the correct drivers (given that I used them to connect to my computer when I first rooted and unlocked the bootloader). Tried changing the drivers, but I can't get my phone to show up in Device Manager at all. MTP and USB Debugging are enabled.
The only thing I can think of is that I dropped my phone while it was connected, and now the USB cable only charges the phone if I bend it in a certain way (it usually requires upward pressure where the cable plugs into the phone to work). However, other USB charging cables work just fine without any pressure. Is there any chance that a new OEM Samsung USB cable might solve my problem? The other cables I've used weren't OEM.
I normally use a wi-fi data transfer app because the USB data transfer has been slow since day one, so that can be worked around. What IS a major problem for me is that I'm trying to re-root my phone after my root access was lost with the 4.0.4 OTA update. I didn't keep up with the news and only realized last week that my root access had been lost because I tried to do things that required root. Since the OTA update trashed my CWM recovery image, I seem to have no way to re-root and reinstall CWM aside from going back to my computer and doing what I did the first time. But if I can't connect to my computer, I can't do that. It also seems that I would need computer access to remove root in case I bring it back to Verizon for a replacement under warranty.
So on another note, if you guys know of a way to re-root my phone without connecting it to my PC, I'm all ears...

I have run into a lot of USB defects on the phones I have received. It might be wise to get Samsung to repair it, but you will be without a phone for a week. You could also try another cable.
I used to have similar issues except where the power got routed into the data port, frying my phone in multiple areas.
On Samsung's repair ticket they said REPLACED COMPONENT (I'm assuming this is the usb controller and port) this could be the solution but it requires sending it in.
I flashed my GNEX with SLIM ICS and ever since, I have not been able to access USB on the device. It will charge but I am unable to access the device. Even if I boot it into fastboot and plug the phone into my computer I don't even get a windows sound signifying the connection of a usb device. It just charges. I've tried all my usb cables (I have a ton!) and tried flashing other roms, but to no avail. I'm stuck and am gonna have to chance returning it if I can't get it to work on usb. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
I wanted to add, in CWM when I go down to "mount USB storage" I get an error that states "E: Unable to Open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)
Go to storage and then press the menu key and select use computer connection and make sure mtp is selected.

Yes, I have done that.
Different computer, different USB ports (not the ones on the front, but the back)?
Tried 3 different computers at home, and a bunch of computers at work. I tried several different USB cables. The One that came with my Nexus One, the one that came with this phone, a bunch of random ones I bought at Amazon every once in a while. Tried in USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, with no luck. I really think the clue with this is what I noticed in CWM, when I try to mount USB.
I've tried changing it from MTP to PTP and turning after switching between the two. I've tried two different roms, one based on 4.0.4 and 4.0.3. I've Tried several different USB cables, including the ones that came with my G2x and Nexus One. I've tried it in a USB 3.0 Port. I've tried using different kernals. Even when I get into recovery, windows still doesn't read somthing is attached. I've been transfering ROMS to it via dropbox. I don't think it's a rom issue as it should still show up in windows when in recovery. Also on those roms I made sure that they didn't have "USB Fast Charge" enabled, as I heard that can cause the issue I'm experience. Thinking it was an issue with CWM, I downgraded it, but still no USB. I'm stuck here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
turn debugging off
Debugging is off.
Their IS a fix for this, but we need the code to get into the PhoneUtil menu and turn USB back on.
It's an issue with Samsung phones apparently, and here's a fix someone found a while ago.
http://blog.vacs.fr/index.php?post/...ot-detected-problem-on-Android-Samsung-phones
We just need the PhoneUtil code for the Galaxy Nexus and we should be all set.
I have found that the Nexus is picky about what cord you use. My girlfriend has an LG cord and my nexus won't even charge with it... Just a thought
Just to confirm, are you sure that you have the necessary drivers installed on the computer? If not, try this.
I have several android devices. And have used every single usb cable that is in my reach. I tried the Ones that came with the Galaxy Nexus. I tried the one that came with my Nexus One, I tried the one that came with my G2x. I tried about seven of the cables I picked up from amazon. I tried the one that came with my Acer Iconia A100. I even tried a few coworker's usb cables while I was at work. My friend has a Galaxy S II and I tried her cable, still no activity in windows. But it charges.
This is an issue that can only be solved by getting into the PhoneUtil menu on this phone. I've contacted Samsung and they refuse to provide it. They tell me to contact google or verizon. However I have the GSM International Version.

It appears that utility assumes that windows at least notices somthing. Windows doesn't even think I have anything plugged. I do appreciate your post, thank you for trying to help.
by any chance, does are you using a kernel with usb fast charge?? if usb fast charge is enabled, the phone is not recognised as a media device.
I'm having the exact same problem. I'll try turning off fast charging
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Fast charging was off by default, or I turned it off in the roms I tested.
Their is a fix, but we need access to the PhoneUtil menu on the phone to apply it.

The code provided in their doesn't work on the GNEX.
What annoys me is that when I got the phone it was already rooted and I didn't have a chance to try it stock or back up the original. It was rooted with an older version, so I flashed 4.0.4 on it. Check out the reviews on newegg I'm not alone in reporting a messed with Galaxy Nexus.

Gnex USB connection issue solved
I was having same problem and tried different methods to solve the issue, nothing worked. so, i tried to remember what the recent cahange i have done to my AOKP rom.
That is Fast Charge, selected in rom setting. My usb has been sloved since I have unchecked Fast Charge in rom Setting.
PS. Don't forget to reboot.
reinstall drivers works most of the time.
Hi, my poor Gio is stuck constantly rebooting every time I enable USB Mass Storage. Debugging is enabled. I didn't have this problem before switching to CyangoGenMod 7.2, and come to think of it, I don't recall having this problem until recently.
This problem occurs on Windows 7 Home Premium (regular USB drivers, no KIES) and Ubuntu Linux 12.04 Precise Pangolin, both 32-bit.
I really wanted to add some files, mostly music and videos, to my device quickly, but as DoubleTwist (my main media app, I love the UI) doesn't develop software for Linux, I am forced to use USB, rather than Airsync. The fact that I can't seem to use USB without my phone rebooting doesn't help much.
Anybody have a suggestion? I'll try disabling debugging, or maybe downloading the Android Debug Bridge? I can't try it tonight, but that doesn't make any sense. Why would either of those be a factor in just simply connecting Mass Storage?
EDIT: I disabled USB Debugging, and, though it took a while for the USB storage Android to say that it was in use, it finally worked, without rebooting. Now to see if it'll work again, or if an app on the SD card was causing the problem. The thing is, I have zero free space on the, what, < 200 MB Gio users have? So, if it is indeed an app (or even my Crystal theme), that'll suck.
Stay tuned for future edits!
did u figure it out?.... i have the same problem in my Sony Ericsson X8... with custom ROM Ginger elite v2... 2.3.7 .....
it reboots after trying to connect usb mass storage when usb debugging is not enabled... after trying for some time, it reboots
& when debugging is enabled, the entire phone hangs .....!!
if u figured something out.... kindly let me know...
I can't remember if I figured it out, I know I must have but this was a long time ago, and I can no longer connect to USB anyway due to water damage. I should be getting a Windows Phone 8 relatively soon anyway so it's not worth fixing.

Glad to hear it. I did end up getting a new phone, but it wasn't WP8 - and because Samsung has some bakas on their development teams, it's actually worse for the storage situation. I also don't like how there is no longer USB Mass Storage; rather, you're stuck with either MTP or whatever cameras usually use. Both seem to be slower than a regular connection, Windows tells you that your device may not be able to open the pictures in your music folders, and the MTP app locks your phone down until it's finished syncing.
I almost miss my Gio.
Almost.

I cannot enter Mass storage mode. It is getting rebooted and also takes away the wallpaper I've set.
My phone is rooted Micromax canvas 4 A210 with custom rom (lollipop themed). This problem started recently. I can recall I installed ADB and so may be conflict with the drivers etc. I've uninstalled the Google USB drivers which installs with ADB but still no help. I checked turning on and off USB Debugging, no help. I also tried changing the USB port, no help.
Further I use Link2SD app and after a clean install of custom rom, I checked options like 'Auto link' and 'External card' as default install location. Would there be some apps which should not be moved to External card? If yes, then what they are ?
Just came back from holiday so I've got some pictures to store on my computer, but I can't get my phone to connect to it. It charges fine when connected which is also bemusing, since it can't do anything else. It's definitely not my computer's problem as I've tried other computers to no avail. I've been looking around the internet but none of the solutions worked for me.
My Nexus is rooted with stock ROM on 4.2.1 Jelly Bean and hasn't had many other problems in it's lifetime, although sometimes when I go into the Gallery app it will tell me "No external storage available" and I cannot use it until I restart the phone, where the problem diminishes and reappears after a few days. I was wondering if these problems were linked in any way perhaps?
Thanks for any input guys, would really appreciate it

That cannot be the issue. I did not have USB debugging enabled but I was still able to transfer the files. But, you can try re-installing the Google USB Driver or Samsung Driver for I9250 or was it I515?
Cheers
Check on computer that device is showing in devices and has correct drivers installed. If not samsung official manuals and downloads website (google it) has a driver pack (approx 30mb) which when installed should have every samsung driver you could need, download and run then reboot computer and plug in phone, all drivers needed should now install correctly.
Also check in usb options when first connected that mtp is checked so storage is visible to computer. Best of luck and if all else fails pc out of window sounds like fun
P.S. try flashing latest gapps to fix gallery issue, after dalvik and cache wipe, may solve gallery issue...

Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader of my Google Pixel 2XL running android Pie using a mac.
Once, the process was completed and i set up my phone again, i lost usb mass storage.
I searched over internet and tried everything.
From enabling and disabling USB debugging to clearing internal storage and others is App info.
I hard reset my phone again but to no use. I don't see a usb debugging prompt.
I tried multiple cables. Infact it stopped working on the cable and the port i used usb mass storage on before.
Android auto had also stopped working. The phone only charges and does nothing else.
I am able to change the default usb to usb storage, but under USB preferences, only charging is selected and all options are greyed out.
Can someone please help me?

Does fastboot mode still work? If so, I doubt it is a hardware issue, and you can simply reflash a full factory image.
What was your remaining battery percentage? This is happening to me now but my battery is at 15% so I'm going to charge it up a bit and try again.
FYI battery saver is NOT currently enabled on my device, but that feature can definitely disable a lot of functionality so it's always good to ensure that it's off when troubleshooting. Another detail is that I still have a locked bootloader yet I'm also experiencing this issue (of grayed out USB options) so it may be coincidental and unrelated to you rooting/unlocking.
Did you find a solution? This thread is quiet so far but appears unresolved...
---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------
I charged to 20% and it worked but that may not have been it either. I noticed that wiggling my usb-c connector (adapted from micro usb-'a' to usb-c) may have been the culprit. It seems that my adapter has a shaky connection

This is a common issue w/ the Pixel devices on Pie, and is a cable issue, usually from using USB-C to USB-C cable, whereas an -A to -C cable is fine. Reference:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel...me_change_usb/
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel...2_xl_charging/
However, I ran in to this using the Pixel Experience Pie ROM on my Nexus 5X, and found it was due to one of my little microUSB to -C adapters (with a -A cable). One adapter works, the other doesn't, (cable didn't matter) even though it was no problem on the stock ROM; same brand (TechMatte) from the same 2-pack, in fact.
I have this same problem. My wife has the same phone with same OS but doesn't experience this problem. The only difference between our 2 phones is mine was a part of the beta program
I stopped being able to use USB either for file transfer or for adb. Google told me to install drivers which really doesn't work when the PC doesn't see your phone...
I tried a different computer
and it did see the phone and said that it installed drivers.
When I put it back on my PC it was working again.
Failed again, USB options all grayed out, and I used different (new) USB-C and that worked.

Try cleaning the charging port with compressed air, and Qtips with a little isopropyl alcohol. It could also just be bad from time or hardware failure.
Same issue of me today, but cable is good because other pixel 2 xl works great with it... it is a usb port issue on pixel, charging works, usb connections not.
I am having the same issue on my Oneplus 7 Pro running Android Q. With me it started happening after updating to Android Q. Plugging in a USB drive o the phone is not working neither, it works if I boot into recovery. Seems like lots of people are having similar issues:

i tried it, and it only works for a couple mins. Trying it again dosen't do anything anymore.
Yep me too it seems, no file transfer to lappy or ADB, charging and usb stick work fine, cleaned and googled to find this seems a problem for many pxl2 users in the last few weeks.
For a flashaholic like myself it's a big issue!
any update? I just bought Pixel 2 XL
I've tried everything,
best attempt is cleaning the port usb c, connect using usb c to c on MacOS the "usb for" enabled just for few seconds, and then back disabled again
here the list what I did :
1. update adb
2. usb A 2.0 to C, usb A 3.0 to C, usb C to C - doesnt work, only charge
3. even OTG, can't read flash drive
4. restart phone after change usb debugging also doesnt work
5. using fastboot, someone said to make sure the firmware is buggy, doesnt work at all !!
6. after cleaning usb port, still doesnt work...
So I sadly don't have any fix on this, it still doesn't work for me after Jan update. I tried posting to this site:
https://support.google.com/fi/thread/257513?hl=en&dark=1
about this matter with no success. I guess I will have to open a support ticket with Google. Has anyone else here done that? The reason I haven't is based on that Google thread it doesn't look like it went anywhere when people did open a ticket.
So I just tried moving up to the March build on my Pixel 2 xl and was successful. So it looks like Google sent out some kind of update that corrected the issue.
