does anyone know of a way to get clockwork mod on my phone without being connected to my computer. i have a problem with my usb port on the phone were it won't connect to computer due to circuit board problems. if anybody knows anything at all it would be helpful. i mean the phone is useless to me if i can't even get it rooted.
So here is the story.
My phone is 3 months old. This weekend it got some mild water damage. I was able to get it back to 99% functional. The two water damage sensors (1 on battery and one under battery were tripped). I am running Juggernaut V4.1.
From what I can see the water got the sensors but was not really inside the phone.
Everything works perfectly. Calling, Wifi, screen EXCEPT when I plug it into the computer it does not get recognized. ie Windows has errors when trying to install the USB drivers.
I am not totally screwed as it is rooted, and I have Clockwork recovery. I suspect that as long as I do not need install anything using ODIN I will be fine but I am now not able to downgrade back to stock rom or transfer files via USB (kiers works fine).
So is there anyway to reinstall another custom rom to fix the USB issue? (Tried multiple cables and multiple computers with no luck).
Should I just keep is where it is at and be happy with Juggernaut V4.1?
Should I retry installing Juggernaut V4.1?
Do I have any options with sending it back for repair or getting TMobile to replace it under warranty?
Any help or thoughts is appreciated.
Do a google search for "removing android drivers" and completely remove them, then make sure the phone did not get set to "Charge Only" mode, on stock that is easy, not sure on jugs, download the drivers for your phone, unzip them, plug the phone in, IF it is not found autoMagicaly , direct windows to where you unzipped the drivers ...
IF that does not work, warranty time ... (oh try blowing out your usb port on the phone, and try a different cable)
EDIT: I read your post twice and still did not see the part about water damage .. LOL, yeah ummm no warranty ...
Do not warranty the device without replacing the water damage labels first. You should be able to find them on ebay.
They wont warranty a device with water damage.
I would try flashing a different rom and see if that works.

Thanks for the advice. Can't find the water damage labels anywhere BTW. Any link or help would be appreciated. Even if you want to PM me that would be great.
I did find a method to restore to stock firmware(or at least close) without ODIN for anyone that is interested.

Make sure you Odin or flash stock kernel first and then stock rom. If not you're gonna get stuck with the custom kernel images on boot up.
I have to do a replacement myself. My internal speaker is blown. How? I have no idea. I hope I don't get a bad phone with lines and stuff.

Just to make sure... when you plug in your phone... your computer doesn't detect the phone at all? like the connected sound or did you get an error "unable to install etc etc" something along those lines.
If there are any signs of it being detected
1. make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed (not kies)... its in one of the stickied threads
2. if you did install the correct driver but there was an error when plugging in the phone use USBDeview to remove all samsung and Android drivers... and do it again
And why don't you just use a microsd USB adapter or something to transfer files?
It actually makes the "ta da" sound when plugged in and instantly starts charging. I have the Samsung drivers installed on both computers that I have attempted to do it. Interesting that it used to work even on my Mac computer and show up with both the internal SD and micro SD card. I am only partially screwed as I have options that you mentioned about using Micro SD card reader to transfer custom roms. Anything that requires ODIN will be out of the question as I no longer have the ability to access ODIN because that can only be done with direct connection.
I am wondering if something is messed up with the rom as everything was working correctly a few days ago on the 19th but you would think that the USB drivers are deeply embedded in the firmware.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will uninstall the Samsung drivers and give it another attempt.

Have you rebooted your computer? Reinstall driver? Perhaps try another USB port...

tried all of those.
Are you using Kies for the drivers? I thought Kies interfered somehow and it was recommended to just install the full driver setup standalone.
Also, have you tried a different pc yet?
Also make sure you have USB Debugging enabled.

Possibly. Have you tried to odin the one-click-root back to stock rooted yet?
First thing I would do personally. Also, swap cables again and try a different usb port. I would plug into the rear usb if possible too. Front usb ports are prone to interference since they're wired via a cable from the motherboard. And do not use a usb extension cable (found this out the hard way too). Good luck.

Agreed with previous poster - you may be bricked, seems oddly familiar to this issue:
Stuck at "Data.img" thru Odin
As sfhub has mentioned you can and should try the Odin OC again to confirm. But if it says the same it's fairly certain that the eMMC is damaged and the phone is bricked.
If you try again and it has the same results you may want to post more details on that thread. It's been a good attempt to try and document each person's case and try to find what is causing this to happen. The more info the better to troubleshoot, such as what you tried to flash and how you were flashing (were you going back to GB + CWM to flash ICS, for example)
I posted earlier and was not able to fix, though I was helped a lot.
What my question is that whenever I plug my Gnex into the computer (Nexus 7 cable) it is not recognized. And when it does, it gets error 43 or error 10 which stops it. Anyone know how to fix this?
I just want to root my phone. If there is any other way to root besides using a USB cable, I would like to know also.
Its come to the point where occasionally when I plug my phone into the computer..it will SHUT DOWN my computer.

After using a Duracell car charger, my phone fails to connect to my computer as a USB device, however it will charge. I know that it is not the cable that I am using, as I have tried several different cables, and several different USB ports. I know that it is not the computer as I have used this computer multiple times to move files to and from my phone, have used LGNPST several times as well, and even tried to connect on my laptop
Still, nothing. :crying:
Not only that but my phone will not even show up in LGNPST when I put it into download mode, and I cannot connect through ADB in TWRP, which I have been able to do before.
My only conclusion is that the data pins within the USB port have been screwed up.
This wouldn't be a problem, except that I have an unlocked bootloader, and cannot go to Sprint and get a new phone under warranty.
One possible fix I can think of is buying a replacement USB port and fixing it myself.
The other potential fix I can think of is possibly using Freegee and someone else's stock recovery bootloader backup, which would then allow me to go Sprint and get my phone replaced.
As of now, I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
They're very much appreciated. :good:

Have you tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling?
Or you can Bluetooth FreeGee to your phone and relock it that way. If you have the files on it.

Yes, I already uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, and used another computer, but it still won't detect. I don't have any Freegee boot loader backups, and I'm unsure if I can flash a boot loader anyways without a PC. I'm running ZVC stock, so I just need to relock the bootloader. I don't know what you mean by using Bluetooth, as I have WiFi access to move files with ES file explorer from my tablet to phone.
