This is my first post here to xda but I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a few months now.
I rooted my Gnex with the rootkit I found through XDA and although I had to do it about ten times and it kept saying it failed, it actually seemed to have worked since I have the SU app and have been able to use Titanium Backup.
Shortly after I rooted my phone it stopped mounting as a USB drive on my computer. I tried cleaning the micro USB port, different ports on my PC, different cords, and recently even did a factory rest and it still won't mount. As an added bonus I got an OTG cable recently and it also fails to work with my phone but works with other phones I've tried like an HTC ONE and GS3 and GS4. Not sure what to do other than maybe buy a new micro USB port online and replace it myself.
Like I said I'm still fully stock and running 4.2.1(still haven't gotten my 4.3 update, not sure if its related to the possibly botched root)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When you say mount as USB, are you saying you are trying to mount it to view all the files like a mass storage device? Because to my knowledge, the Galaxy Nexus doesnt mount like that. It mounts as MTP which is a bit different but not as a mass storage device.
Or, are you simply saying that your computer doesnt recognize your device when plugged in?
Does your phone charge fine? If so, its not your USB port.
Yes I mean mount as USB...I know its a bit different and comes up as galaxy nexus in my computer. It worked before root and now doesn't. I did have a few days of charging problems but I just cleaned the micro USB and noticed the connector inside was bent downwards a bit. I bent it up very carefully and it charges fine now. This was all post root.
And aside from unrooting(which I'm not even sure how to do) I really don't know what to do. And even if I did know how to unroot or potentially fix the root I would need the usb to work anyway right.

So ICS supports USB gamepads/mice/keyboards which is awesome. The only problem is that the Galaxy Nexus only has one available USB port.
How can I connect a USB device to the gnex and charge it simultaneously?
Powered USB hub.
I see how that could work, however I want as little bulk as possible, and a USB hub would add a lot of clutter.
That got me thinking though.
Would there be any problem with charging and playing using this diagram?

It isn't going to work, since the usb port on a nexus only can do one thing at a time: charging/being a slave (transferring files from a pc) or act as a host (for a keyboard/mouse/gamecontroller). This will not work together until a kernel dev finds/creates a workaround.

Usb OTG supports accessory/charge mode, but the cable has to have the correct id for the usb chip to allow it. I don't think any cables have this enabled as of yet.

This cable won't suffice?

If not, what has to be done to enable this?
Also, does this mean the powered USB hub won't work either?

I have a feeling that even if charging works (and I think it should) it will only charge at 500mA as I doubt OTG will work properly if you enable Fast USB charge. At the very least your battery won't die out quickly I guess, depending on the game's requirements hardware wise.
I'll try it out tonight if I can find my damn OTG cable.
Confirmation: Does not work.
Found my cable, and connected the phone to a powered usb hub. It actually would not charge OR read a thumb drive with stick mount. Both worked seperately, but the OTG is not a multitasker. Sorry.
Ok...I screwed up here and need a little direction
I installed a rooted stock image to my phone, then installed CWM and then stupidly installed a custom rom called omega. Unfortunately that was for the I9300 version and I have a SGH-I747M
So now my phone is unresponsive, meaning it will not turn on using any button combo. Took out the battery and let it sit for awhile and and then tried button combo's again and still nothing.
The only sign of life I have right now is my computer detects it when I plug and unplug the usb cord and if I leave my battery out and plug in the usb cord I get a red light in the top left corner. Nothing on the screen though to indicate charging or anything.
I have gathered I have a hard bricked phone on my hands.
Now what are my options? I read about a USB jig as well as a jtag fix so please tell me more about these and if they are my only option please. I wouldn't mind a referral to someone within Canada that fixes them for a decent price.
I'm pretty sure USB jig is your only fix. Where in Canada are you?

Hard brick.
Highly doubt a USB Jig will fix that.
You'll need to JTAG. There are folks on eBay who offer the service for $30+.
I am in Halifax, N.S. . I have a friend that has some equipment that might do it but since I am not sure exactly what equipment that is, I cannot be sure he can do it. I will check out ebay but do you know of a solid jtag tutorial for this that I can show him?
Is there anything besides RIFF equipment that can do this? Like I said my friend does have some special equipment but I highly doubt he has a specific machine like the RIFF jtag device.

This will not work for me. My only option it seems is a jtag fix.
What I am still looking for is if it is possible to use hardware typically used to jtag xbox 360's to re-flash this phone. I have a tech savvy friend that has this type of equipment that can do it for me locally but I need instructions to give him. Can someone point me to directions that don't just use the RIFF equipment?

Something like that...but I'm dealing with it well. I'm usually pretty good at following instructions but this time I just got tired and careless.
Get 4 Samsung Epic 4G Touch here. 2 of them can detect by Win7, Charge, access internal memory, able to flash in Download mode. USB debug on. etc.
And another 2, they take Charge the battery. Win7 can't detect it. Can't flash in Download mode. Can't access internal memory from PC. I'm sure Driver installed correctly. If not, why anther 2 phone detected.
I have tried different USB cable. Some detect and sometime do. Is it USB connecter or USB cable inside the phone get bad?
I clear up usb connecter and maybe I'll heat gun to heat up the usb connector and usb chip and let you guy know.
This question probable won't be answered because You're in the wrong category.
I suppose I can give you my 2 cents. I have had two of these phones and on both the port on the phone has gone bad.

Do you have the Samsung drivers installed on your PC?

I'm sure it's not the driver Ryan.. It's bad USB port... most hardware related.
Anyone have advice or guide of easy way to change USB port without soldering??
Sounds like a bad charging port.
You can't really change the charging port without soldering. If you don't have the ability to change it yourself i'd suggest looking for a repair service, there are some on ebay.
Good luck!
first off its a galaxy note 2 t889 cannot charge it I flashed and it worked fine at first then my lady came home and said it wouldn't charge now its completely dead wont connect to computer or charge I should have left it alone seeing as I don't full understand rooting flashing and all that I'm usually very tech saavy so I thought I could do thought wrong I'm just looking for someone to help me fix what I did then do it right I don't think its bricked because It started and was running cyanogen 10 but wont charge now which is weird and when I hold power button wont turn on sometimes when I connect charger the charging thing will pop up but then turn off
any help would be appreciated

As for OP. I had the charging issue as well. Although it was due to using a USB cable the didn't have all the prongs on it. Start there, and charge your phone over night while turned off. Then go from there on fixing the battery drain.

If your USB is not the issue, ROOT BOOSTER works really well. I had a battery drain issue with AOKP, and it solved it.
A message to Google, Samsung, AT&T, and Verizon: If you restrict your customers, eventually, they will go somewhere else. (locked bootloaders, locked ext SD cards, locked SIM cards, locked WiFi calling, data restrictions, ect.)
Your usb port is probably broken. These micro usb ports are designed to break after a certain amount of usage. I modded my Note 2 for wireless charging a long time ago and so my port hasn't had the amount of usage as a normal note 2 has and it still works. My next phone will definitely have wireless charging so I can prolong the usb port as long as possible.
Hello, I bricked my Galaxy watch when flashing the wrong firmware, and now if I select "Download (wireless), it shows an error and redirects me to download mode without wifi. I noticed there is a hidden 5 pin connector:

I think that I should be able to flash firmware using odin when connected to the computer. But I need to figure out the pinout of the pins, since there are 5 pins, where usb has 4. Another thing is how would I connect the wires to such a small connector. Do you have any ideas?
EDIT: So I made a very janky connector, when I am in download mode on the watch, the PC recognizes an unknown USB device, someone had the same problem, and the solution is to change the vendor and product ID, but I don't really understand how to be honest, can someone help me?
I can't believe this but I actually unbricked my device! I made a really janky usb connector out of soldering metal and a piece of a cardboard:
It is really hard to keep the connection because you have to hold it steady and not move. I got a lot of "Unrecognised device" errors on Windows because I was using the wrong pinout, and after switching the RX/TX cables I saw the blue check on Odin that my device was connected, I was just so ****ing happy
Anyways, I downloaded the combination firmware, extracted it and packaged a new AP file with just the .bin files to unbrick the wireless download mode, then flashed it.
Now I am able to boot to Download (Wireless) mode and connect to the AP of the watch with my computer and flash the firmware with netOdin.
This is the pinout that worked for me:
Logged in just to say that this is impressive! I've done the same sort of thing years ago to provide 5V via pogo pins when I lost my charging puck for a LG G watch but this is even more insane!

Thanks, I kind of lost hope for this device and thought I will have to sell it for parts or throw it out, but this saved me.
