Galaxy Nexus(Verizon CDMA)
ICS 4.0.4
Build number: IMM30B
Unlocked
Not rooted
I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with my Galaxy Nexus. My Mac, PC, or Linux box won't recognize my phone anymore. I've tried multiple battery pulls, cords, driver updates(Windows 7), an have wiped the phone. My Nexus 7 is recognized by all 3 PCs so it seems like a phone issue.
When I first got the phone, it had 4.0.2 on it but the battery life was horrendous so I manually flashed 4.0.4 IMM30B instead of waiting for the official OTA. I have read on another thread that someone with the same version of ICS had the same USB issue. They ended up returning the phone. I have a feeling that this is software related and not hardware.
So my question is, is it possible for me to go back to stock 4.0.2. It seems like Odin and fastboot all need usb. I read that a factory format may be possible using a dialer code(*2767*3855#), but when I tried it it didn't do anything. Probably worth noting that I didn't take any backups before flashing.
only thing i know without a USB is mobile ODIN.

Thanks for the response Zep but from what I understand Mobile Odin requires root

Are you sure it's not a driver issue?
If you can't use the USB port AND you don't have root AND you don't have a custom recovery, I don't think there is much else you can do.

Efrant is correct. I think you should try manually installing drivers for Galaxy Nexus. There are few helpful instruction on how to install drivers on xda

On you windows box, what do you see when you plugin your phone with the device manger window open? Is nothing detected at all?
Are you using the same cable between the nexus 7 adn the Gnex? If not, the cable you are using with your Gnex may be a charge only cable or it could be damaged.

UPDATE:
I'm thinking I could download rom manager and use it to install the stock rom... but given the trouble that I had with flashing roms before:
(My phone had a working version of Axiom 2.4 on it. I decided to try to flash a few new roms (gummy, liquid, codename android) and all had the same issue, they would boot, go to the upgrading android screen, finish that and go straight to the homescreen without the "welcome to android/activating" screens, then freeze after 10 seconds requiring a battery pull. Sorta led to this mess)
I'm not sure its a good idea.
Any thoughts? I really just need to get rid of the lock on the splash screen.
I'm considering just letting it sit till an ota comes out and either A: relocks the phone so I'll return it, or B: effs it so badly I can return it.
Drop box + 4G can be an annoying workaround for usb functionality.
Having some trouble with the GNex.
I was stuck in recovery, now I have it booting with minimal apps in my nand of a stock rooted rom. (Minimal apps as in I have none of the system apps I uninstalled nor any user installed apps. Luckily I do have the android market)
However my underlying issue with the USB remains.
I am unable to connect it to a computer and have it recognized, whether the phone is booted (trying to mtp or whatever so I can see the files) or in adb or fastboot. The same error 43 comes across on both of my computers. The phone DOES charge via usb.
I'd like to return it to VZW claiming a broken usb, but the phone is still unlocked, and it shows the unlocked icon with the google splash screen. Is there anyway I can relock the thing and return it, or alternatively does anyone have any ideas on getting the usb working? I've tried both the pdanet method of drivers and the ones from the samsung site to no avail.
Thanks in advance!
You could try reinstalling the USB drivers. I'd suggest downloading pdanet on your computer and run the wizard.
Edit: I should have read your last paragraph. Sorry :/

Didn't seem to work but thanks for the tip!
I just installed the new Android 4.0.4 TBASGIIIv1.8 ROM for my Epic 4G touch and lost the USB connectivity with Windows-7. My computer will no long recognized the phone when plugged into the USB port and it worked fine with the Android 4.0.3 ICS FD16 ROM. It use to come up in windows saying SPH-D710 with a pop-up windows and with this new rom installed it will no longer recognize the phone. Is this a simple fix or problem with the new ROM because I would like to be able to download some of my files using Samsung Kies?
What ROM is the? And where did you get it from (link)? Team Rejects? How did you flash?

It’s the newest version of the ICS based custom ROM with the Galaxy S3 theme and all the detailed instruction are listed in this link: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-epic-4g-touch-ics-custom-rom-galaxy-s3-theme-93959/
I downloaded the newest version 1.8 from this thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673662
Everything works fine with the exception of the USB connectivity was lost and the computer will no longer recolonize the phone when attached via USB cable.
I download an app called USB switcher and made sure it’s on the mass storage but still inoperable.
When the USB cable connection is made the computer gives and audible note a will briefly flash a storage device for a second in the Computer – Devices with Removable Storage window then quickly disappears.
I’ve tried going back to the EL29 stock ROM about three times and the USB connection works fine with ICS Android 4.0.3 but doesn’t function at all with the latest ICS based custom ROM with the Galaxy S3 theme?
I'd first try to uninstall any samsung drivers you have on your PC then re-install them. Get em here http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe
Also try a different USB port AND cable.
If that fails I'd grab Mobile Odin from the market and download one of sfhub's one-clicks and install it (he has instructions for flashing from the phone on signature http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23478866&postcount=869 in his posts.)
---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------
Ah I see. probably disregard my last post then.
Use sfhub's autoroot package to enable mass storage http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24010029&postcount=889
That may work.
I tried uninstalling the drivers and reloading them a few times and even tried it on different computer.
I updated the Kernal using the PC based Odin3 v1.85 and flashed the EL26 stock CWM and might just have to try using the mobile version.

I had the same problem with my old et4g. I was running calks ics rom and kept getting the voltage to high notification and i wasnt even charging. And it also was no longer being recognized by the computer. Tried every fix. I went back to calks gb rom and still had the same problem with voltage notification and not being recognized. I tried to mobile odin back to a stock rom and it soft bricked my phone. It will only boot into recovery and i can get no where from there. Thought it may be the physical part itself so i ordered a new one and got my phone apart but the sprint version of the galaxy s2 is made into the board and im not quite sure what to desolder and solder

I just installed the latest stock FF18 Modem/Kernel/ROM and the USB connection works fine now.
My 4G signal sucks donkey balls on this FF18 ROM.
I tried just flashing the FG26 modem using this FF18 ROM but it's still a problem.
I'm going back to the FD26 ROM because that had the best 4G signal IMO.

take a look here if you have not already http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731751
You should still be able to use the download mode to flash the stock ROM using Odin OC without the phone being able to boot up?
The problem I always had was getting it to connect to the computer cause the USB port is jacked up. I finally jacked with it enough that it connects 1 time out of 5. Used the method u just linked and its back up and running. Hell yea. Thanx. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it now cause in already got a replacement and I don't think the ESPN is any good but I could always flash it to boost or something

Device USB Error on Windows 7 (Lost USB Connection)
After following this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229) by sfhub, my machine won't recognize my phone via USB. It worked fine before when I rooted and installed CWM on the EL29 build. USB connection worked fine after upgrade to ICS FF18 as well. Only after running ODIN root did I have an issue reconnecting to install CWM.
Error from Windows states "Device Malfunction. Device cannot be recognized via USB..."
Tried reinstalling Samsung drivers and updating Windows. Nada. Any one else having this issue and/or have a resolution?

Should also note that I did a "Keep User Data" install option. Will try and do the wipe version tonight and see if that resolves anything.

How did you do that without USB connection? My phone has a problem and I need to get it completely back to stock for warranty repair. A week or so ago I lost USB connect-ability. I do not have ICS installed.

Download a stock rom to your computer, then use a wifi app to load it on your phone, use mobile Odin app to flash it.

2 days had passed since I bought SGN and already I had loved it. I had rooted it using Nexus Root Toolkit and pushed the 4.1.1 JB update. Last night suddenly and without a particular reason while I was out I was unable to make calls. The mic and speaker wouldn't work. Also the screen opened with no reason and closed after a few seconds. I came home and wiped data and cache via CWM. The problem was not solved. As a friend suggested I also formated everything, system etc. But due to the fact that I was used to my HTC Desire having an SD card I forgot to push the ROM. Since SGN does not have an SD card I can't do it anymore.
I tried pushing the ROM via Nexus Root Toolkit but I was unable due the fact that I must have USB Debugging on. Also every other feature of the Nexus Root Toolkit must have USB Debugging on. Well, I have no operating system to do that so... The only thing I want to do for now is to push a ROM in my phone to install Android again. Any ideas or directions on how to do that?
Thank you in advance.
did you do a backup?
Can you get it into fastboot? Maybe try pushing the factory JB image through fastboot flash boot.img?
Somebody tell me if im on the right track.
get into fastboot and flash a factory img via gnex toolkit or manually
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
You could probably push the ROM though fastboot using adb commands, but besides that do an Odin (the easy way out) restore but it would completely wipe your phone.
Firstly, thank you all for the quick response. I did use Galaxy Nexus Toolkit and managed to return to ICS stock. More of that, mic and speaker now work (!). I wonder if that problem knocks my door again though... One more (smaller) problem this time. For a peculiar reason my SGN does not mount when I connect it to the PC. I tried the laptop, no luck there too. The phone charges and I have enabled USB debugging. Any suggestions/directions to that?
Thanks in advance.
p.s.1: I already have thanked the ones who pointed me in the correct direction.
p.s.2: Definitely I'm going to donate a beer to the developer of Galaxy Nexus Toolkit!
EDIT: Since this has become into a new problem and probably not connected to the previous, I opened a new thread here and marked this as solved.
Hi,
So I have a brand new SII that T-Mobile sent me when my old one's power button broke. The phone was running unrooted, stock Android 4.0.4
I decided to upgrade to Jellybean as discussed here, and by following the directions on T-Mobile's website. Before I started, I double checked that I had Android version 4.0.4, and that my baseband version was T989UVLI1.
Downloaded Kies, updated Kies to the latest version, turned on USB debugging, plugged in phone, started upgrade.
Got a message saying upgrade had failed, and to try Kies firmware emergency recovery. I've tried running emergency recovery a few times with no luck.
Any suggestions on what to do from here?
Yea just root it and then install the rooted version of the new update.
So apparently not all USB ports are created equal. I switched ports on my Macbook Pro and firmware recovery worked like a charm...must be a driver issue with Kies.

I figured rooting wasn't the best idea since the firmware was already screwed up...as long as it got screwed up from Kies + T-Mobile's instructions I could get a new phone, but if I tried rooting and the phone was already so screwed up that it didn't work, then they might have raised a stink about the warranty.
GilEste, which macbook do you have? I just upgraded to the latest one and can't get my phone to communicate to either of my USB ports.

I have a mid 2012 macbook pro with retina display. For me, Kies detected the phone from both ports, but kept having errors with the left port. The right port worked for emergency firmware recovery.
The exact same thing happened to me. The update failed and emergency recovery failed.
I tried a different PC and it could not recognize the phone (on that one for some reason kies was locked at 25% cpu of 4 cores and running really slow).
I went back to the original PC and tried different ports, even a USB 3.0 add-on card without success.
I will try exchanging the phone today, but I still want to take the replacement to JB and I have another 2 phones that need the update.
Thanks
I got the replacement phone and almost immediately tried the update on yet another PC. This time the update was successful and I am seeing how things go. Now I have 2 more phones to update.
I don't know why it worked this time, but on the other PCs it would sometimes fail to detect the phone right away and might require unplugging and plugging back in.
On the PC that worked it did not have any issues. Maybe if there are any issue prior to the update, that is a sign that you should try a different PC.
Okay i have seen similar posts around, and I apologize if this bothers anyone but when I post a thread asking for help, its because I've tried most solutions and have gotten nowhere. I recently bought one.of.these devices and I have to say for an old 1GHz device, its pretty darn smooth! (Got it for my girl who broke her phone. Cost $20 MINT screen, and some scuffs.on the trim believe it or not, fully functional, clean ESN)
I love for all devices in the house to be rooted and off that dreaded Gingerbread android. I have been stuck since i got it trying to use ODIN to flash CWM, and root it to flash a JB based rom. Problem is i installed the drivers, got the ODIN version required, have the CWM tar file, etc, the phone gets detected while on in ADB, normal file transfer way and so on. BUT Download Mode? Nope, i get the dreaded "Unknown Device" issue.
Now as I always read before annoying others, I read that switching the USB cable helps. I've tried 8 USB cables, and no go. 2 Samsungs (i read those are #1 NO GOs), 3 LG cables (device doesnt appear at all), and 3 non brand. No good.
I know Mobile Odin wont work, I rooted it using Framaroot.apk for now, but I need CWM for the rom flashing part.
So now that its 2013, is there really no other way other than ODIN? I tried using ROM Manager, it flashes but doesnt do a thing except boot into stock recovery (miracle no bricks or bootlooping). If I had Linux on my PC, will it get detected or its just the darn cable?
OR is there a specific USB cable brand I should go for that is guaranteed to work? I dont mind buying it just have been waiting to make sure.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

I use this cable and have had zero issues. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
Well there's good news and bad.
Got an official BlackBerry USB cable.
Bad is the device is STILL not recognized.
The drivers have been properly installed, there is no updating the drivers manually, effing Windows won't let me. What the hell can I do now?
If only Mobile Odin worked, or there were other methods, I wouldn't be going thru this mess...
Like where did I go wrong?
I would swap out Windows to Linux, but I don't see how that will get the device detected.
Matter of fact I was trying to install a Linux based OS from my flash drivd, and it corrupted it. Theres 8gb Ill never see again...
Any other ideas? Will Linux pick up the device?
EDIT: This USB unlike the others BRIEFLY detects it as a USB Device, then goes back to unknown when I uninstall it thru Device Manager

Are you plugging into a port directly on the motherboard? (IE: A port on the back of the machine.) Using an emulated port or hub can cause this at times.
FYI, there are 2 drivers. One is for when the phone is fully booted in Android. The other is the driver when in download mode. Have you tried using another machine?

I think your issue is driver related. I had similiar issues and updated the wiki with the drivers that ended up working for me.
