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 just bought a galaxy s2 running stock gb on ebay and whenever I plug it in any pc it only charges. There is no usb notification nor does computer play a sound when the phone is connected. The phone makes a sound and just charges no matter what I do, I have tried usb debugging on/off and nothing. When I go into wifi/connection settings and select usb mode it says to connect a cable when the usb cable is already connected. I have tried many usb cables including the original samsung one.
Did I just buy a defective phone or am I missing something?
You need the drivers, either Google it or wait for someone to post a link, your call.

Are you using a data cable and not just a regular charging cable? You still see the option to connect mount the SD card evn without the drivers.

I'm not sure if this works on stock gb buy try going to settings/storage. Then press menu and if another settings option comes up then go there and see if there is an option to mount as mass storage device

Having the same issue, can it be that I am using a backed up ROM? I know that there are times when having a backed up ROM changes your system to R/O instead of R/W

MY PC basically does three quick beeps, like the ones it would make when connecting to the phone.... the only difference is when properly connected it would make one beep. I have 6 USB ports and have used all of them. In Root Explorer it states "Cannot detect SD card" that happened after i clicked on SD card to see what files were there.
I did a fresh flash of a ROM and now I am not having issues connecting to PC.
similar problem
I have the same problem of my gs2 not connecting to the computer. The only difference is that it isn't new, and I've been connecting to the computer using the exact same cord for a while.
I'm not really sure what the problem could be, it was working fine as recently as yesterday
Had the same issue I had to send it in for repairs USB port on the phone was effed up

Install moboro on ur PC, make sure developer options is enabled, and debugging is ticked, moboro will install needed drivers for phone to be seen, check to see if the phone is rooted y downloading root checker from play store, if it is rooted it may be an issue with the rom, try downloading Odin and putting the phone in download mode, Odin should see the device and say "added", if so go to sammobile.com find ur devices newest firmware and DL the file, use odin to flash the firmware on the phone, should solve all issue, u can also use Odin without being rooted too so, if u need more info, links or whatever, just let me know

WARNING
I had the same problem about a month ago. I had sent it to Samsung and they replaced the USB part of my phone. So if nothing works, DON'T PREFORM A FACTORY RESET IF YOU'RE ON STOCK! THAT CAN MAKE YOU STUCK ON A BOOT LOOP! but if you're lucky then everything will work fine. I only say this because it happened to me.
I just bought a Sprint Optimus G today. The first thing I was going to do when I got it home was root it and investigate good ROMs. In the developer options, the check box for USB debugging is grayed out and I cannot select it. I have rooted android devices before. I'm running cyanogenmod on my Nexus 7. I had seen that people were able to root and unlock this phone which was the final thing that let me make up my mind to buy it. Any suggestions or am I just completely out of luck?
You cannot switch mode with the USB plugged in. Take the USB out and then switch to USB debugging

Hi here, I have the same issue with galaxy note 10.1 (android 4.4.2, not rooted) and I haven't found any solution so far. I have enabled developper tools, and the switch is green OK but even then, the "USB debugging" checkbox stays grayed out. I've tried with USB connected, not connected, I have reboot my tablet, nothing changes.
So I noticed that when the tablet is connected to the PC via USB, even if the PC does recoginses it (I can browse in the tablet's directories from the PC, the tablet never charges through USB, even at a low ratre or whatsoever.
But my main concern is with not being able to enable "USB begugging". Can anyone help here please ?
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

You tried a different USB cable? Just a thought...
Is USB fast charge enabled?
I had the same problem - turns out it wouldn't connect on my PC's front USB ports, but does work on the rear ones.
first be sure that fast charging is disabled, second try other usb port if not try other usb cable if not try another computer, if not...i dont know!
Maybe usb-debugging is on and your PC has a driver Problem with usb-debugging?
Else: Go to device management and look if the device is properly shown also galaxy nexus.

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...

I have a Sprint LG Optimus G with a broken and unresponsive touch screen. :crying:
I've found answers about how to replace the screen and about how to recover files from different phones with dead screens, but nothing for the Optimus G.
Here's the question:
Is it possible to connect my phone to my PC and transfer all the files?
Currently when I connect the phone it is only in charging mode. I can't use the phone screen to put in MTP (file transfer) mode.
You can try using the adb pull command, might be able to pull the entire sdcard
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Use Linux. I currently use Fedora, and adb connects to my phone without problems. The great thing about is that you don't need drivers.
If you don't run some sort of linux os on your box I would suggest installing virtualbox and creating a guest Linux machine.
I believe the popular distros have adb and android-tools in their repos so it shouldn't take you long to get a guest machine setup. Good luck on getting that data.

I am having a similar problem and need a hand!!!!!
stock phone with a shattered screen that is completely unresponsive.
It's default is set to charge only when plugged in so i can not figure out a way to get pictures ect. off the phone.
Since there is no OTG support I can't change it to MTP(data sync) and Snappea doesn't recognize the phone since it is not on that setting.
Anybody have any ideas?? It's killing me, I already have my new device but can't transfer anything.
