No OS, OTG not recognized. Am I bricked? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Accidental full wipe of my Nexus 7 has left me with a no OS paper weight.
Fastboot indicates it's locked but I can boot into TWRP, but can't get it to be recognized by any PC and it won't recognize my OTG-USB (which has been recognized by others).
Any ideas as to how to get her up and running would be greatly appreciated.

Did you mount the OTG usb in TWRP or just looked for it to auto detect?
Btw, this belongs in the Q & A section, so ask a mod to move it

I am unable to select/check mount the OTG while in TWRP. The OTG is formatted correctly as the OTG is readable on other devices, but it seems like it just isn't being found by the N7. I'm baffled.

Tried it on a full battery, still no luck.

tried to get it to work, any suggestions fellow XDAers? I'm in a real jam here

Thanks, but I can't get the tablet to be recognized. I've tried it in multiple windows computers with both USB 2 and 3.

Have you tried adb/fastboot?

I am able to fastboot, but still can't get the pc to recognize that it's connected. The tablet takes a charge, but the pc never acknowledges that a device is connected, device manager never indicates a device is connected.

-If you don't have any Roms on internal storage, that's no good since you have TWRP.
-Try A different USB cable.
-Definitly make sure you have installed Google USB drivers.
-Have you tried ADB Sideload in twrp? Maybe TWRPs' adb will work better.
It looks like you need to update your bootloader as well, go with the latest factory images.
If you need to know where to find the above things I can point you to them. You must eventually get the PC to recognise it in fastboot though.

Thanks. Everything hinges on the PC being able to recognize that I'm attempting to connect the tablet (or for the tablet to recognize that I've attached the OTG).
I have tried multiple USB cables and ensured that the drivers are installed on the multiple PCs I've attached to.
I have tried to ADB sideload in TWRP, but since none of the PCs recognize that the tablet is connected to the PC, ADB won't work.
Again, it's not that the drivers are not installed, but rather the PC not recognizing that I have attached a device through the USB (no sound, no pop-up, nothing in the device manager). It is extremely frustrating, especially since the device charges via the USB from the PC.

Device Manager doesn't even show something like "qualcomm_qloader"? That's seems worse than any other hard brick I've seen.
-OTG should be FAT32 formated (probably is).
-We're you using Lollipop with that 4.02 bootloader? I believe that was A prerequisite for installing Lollipop which may have cause the tablet to not show on the PC.
- Nexus Root Toolkit has different methods for installing drivers http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/

Shows holding power for A minute got theres' to start doing stuff. It' A different recovery issue though.
Hate to be A downer, I hard bricked A galaxy s4 I had for only 5 days last month. That never turned on again. It's not fun.

I had the same issue. The only way I could fix was a full adb restore. I tried several other ways and none worked.

Nothing shows in the device manager. I was using KitKat on the tablet.
Turns on without an issue, opens TWRP with no issue.
when connected to the PC nothing occurs, not when it's on the Google screen, not when it's in TWRP, not in Fastboot, not when it's restarting. Nothing.
if it was the driver being missing, I'd at least see the device attached, just not communicating properly
sorry to hear about your GS4

if you truly had the same exact problem, how were you able to use ADB if your device wasn't recognized on a PC or OTG?

Welp, that would be my fault for not completely reading. My apologies.

it's alright, thanks for the thought.
I'm just hoping since I can get into TWRP someone has an idea of how I can get it to recognize the OTG or the PC to see it and I can get into ADB.

Corrupted usb port on the tablet? Maybe broken pin. Try to examine it. It can happen that it is being charged but not identified by the pc because of a faulty port. Try live install of ubuntu to chech if it sees the device.

the port looks perfectly fine, I was thinking the same thing, but there doesn't seem to be any damage. I almost wish it was damaged so I could at least assume that's the problem and just trash the thing.

Do you have HTC sync installed? Or have you ever had the right drivers installed on this PC? If so you can try go into device manager on windows, select the malfunction device and manually change its driver to the HTC drivers and see if that works

OK panic not.
First see if you can test it on another computer. The HOV doesn't agree with USB3.0 so if you have any usb ports that aren't that, then try it there. Is the phone S-OFF? If so you could try and flash by putting the rom.zips on your sd-card then rebooting into recovery.
Also can you check adb with the other cables as well?

I tested it on other 2 computers with 3 different cables, Adb doesn't detect my phone, The phone is S-ON, I tested it on all ports still no recognition, The phone charges through the USB but it is not recognized, I also looked at the HTC Dumlock method as I have TWRP installed, should I try that ?

That is very strange indeed, if it charges then it should be recognised by ADB. Are you sure your running adb from a folder it works from, are the drivers installed on the computers you tested it on?
I don't know anything about the Dumlock method so really can't advise

Ok another idea you could try is flashing a different rom. I am plucking at straws here though, as all our 4.2.2 roms are currently based on 1ceb0xs one anyway. Have you tried re-installing the rom from recovery?

MTP Not Working Windows 10

I am unable to get Windows to mount my Pixel XL in MTP mode. I have the Pixel's screen turned on and unlocked, and the connection option on the phone's pull down menu is set to transfer files. Windows is able to mount the phone when it is in picture transfer mode, but not in MTP mode.. When I look in Window's device manager I can see that the MTP device is connected but I'm getting a yellow triangle exclamation, as in the driver is no good. I uninstalled the driver and tried letting Windows reinstall to no avail. I have searched the web for MTP drivers for Windows, but I can't really find anything. The specific version of Windows that I am using is Windows 10 Education 64.
The main reason for my concern is that I am about to attempt to apply the new root method that is available, and I wasn't sure if I needed to be connected successfully via MTP before I get the ball rolling with ADB. I do have the ADB drivers installed, along with ADB and fastboot and that seems to be working fine. When I run the command 'adb devices' the console shows that my Pixel XL is connected. I am assuming that I should be good to go on that front, but I still want to know why MTP is not working on Windows, and how I can fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a screen shot of what Window's device manager is showing me.

I tried that already. I stumbled across it while searching for a solution. The adb and fastboot parts worked well but not the regular mtp drivers. I think maybe the problem has to do with Windows itself.
I had a similar issue with my Pixel C tablet. I don't remember which driver that I had to use but I eventually got it to work. I believe that I ended up needing PDANet to resolve. I am using the same computer for my Google Pixel phone. I have successfully been able to use MTP on my Google Pixel phone and have access to all the files via file explorer.
I noticed the same thing. When I first attached my phone to the laptop I could see the phone in device manager. Couldn't get into internal storage. Changed the phone from mtp to picture mode then back to mtp and was able to get in. I have to use this method whenever I attach my phone to the laptop using Windows 10. I didn't get any yellow exclamation signs at any time.
plug your phone to your computer then check the notifications,tap on the USB charging this device for other options...just tick the usb to transfer files ....

This was from Microsoft's site, is a little quicker. It would be nice if this got fixed.
(1) Go to C:\Windows\INF
(2) Type "wpdmtp.inf" in search bar provided to the right of the address bar in Windows 10.
(3) Once you found it, just right click on it and select install. It will take a very few seconds.
(4) Connect your device to the pc.
I've found that switching from a USB 3.0 port to a USB 2.0 port fixes all file transfer issues with the Pixel XL. Anyone else seeing that? Any ideas why?

I don't know if it's a coincidence because USB 3.0 is still not fully supported or functional on all new motherboards. Even the brands that claim to and brag about having it still have a half ace implementation of it. I'm looking at you Asus and Gigabyte!!! :crying: I have had to stop using their boards because I've gotten too many complaints from customers.
I can never get any 3.0 device to run off my 3.0 ports, wtf?! I can get flash drives to work all day for sure though!!!:silly:
i'm running an ASUS MB too...perhaps there are more variables to this equation than we want to believe.

I'll grant you that, some of those things happen to me too. But as for a driver not recognizing the device this thread fixes that. That doesn't have anything to do (afaik) with USB 3.0. This was just a silly driver that lost its way. As soon as I tried the method here everything was back to normal.

With the one plus devices you can never tell. It could be anything from software to hardware. Next time you connect pull a log cat this might help.
So I try a factory reset: don't work
I downgrade to oxygen 5.0.3 and 5.0.1: don't work
I try on an other laptop where I never plug my oneplus or install drivers/adb: don't work
I also try with different cables (original from oneplus include): don' work
With otg option on, usb debugging on, ... or without, don't work!
And best is I can't install LineageOS as I have no access on my PC

Moto G5 does not connect to the PC in any way!

So, after upgrading to Android 8.1 OPP28-85-13 . somehow I could not upgrade to version OPP28-85-16 (OFFICIAL VERSION) and so I tried to update the computer, but the same did not recognizes the cell phone.
I already installed the drivers of the motorola 5x, I changed PC, cable, I activated USB debugging, I already changed that MTP option and nothing! The cell phone does not live on the PC, the only thing that happens is that it carries, nothing else! Does anyone have a solution to this? I'm stuck in a version that still has bugs and I can not update anymore ... I've tried everything!
Excuse my English, I'm from Brazil and I can not find anyone here to solve this.
Assuming you did find the correct OTA to go from OPP28-85-13 to OPP28-85-16, you'd have to go to fastboot, and I doubt those options matter then. Also if you didn't sign up for soak test you wouldn't be able to go from a soak to official version through OTA. Check if your PC recognizes your phone in fastboot.

it does not work in fastboot mode, in fact it is as if the cell phone was dead, it stopped working on the computer, it only loads, I already installed drivers, everything ... but no use, I already tried to use rsd lite but it does not recognize!
Kinda dumb but you're using fastboot command right? Last time that happened to me I was using adb devices and it never showed up

to recognize in fastboot mode, the cell phone does not need to be recognized on the pc first? I connect the USB cable and it's the same as nothing, besides that, debugging usb also does not work to proceed in fastboot
Nope. If it's in fastboot, it won't get recognized as an actual device, you'll just hear the plugging sound and be able to interact with it via commands

Does not recognize, neither in fastboot nor in normal mode
@kolple
Hey I know you said you installed drivers and all.. But maybe you should uninstall them and try again. This really sounds like a driver problem honestly.
You could try looking up for UsbDeview on google. It's a pc app which lets you see installed devices.. You could uninstall everything related to your Moto g5.. Then reinstall official Motorola drivers.

I already tested it on other computers, and the same thing happens, does not install anything, nor does the device manager appear. It is as if the cell phone was no longer receiving data through the cable ... I do not know, it could be an android bug or the faulty usb port, some solution to that?

This is odd for sure. I wish I could help more honestly. Trying USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports doesn't change anything right? Probably not.

I would say update your adb/fastboot
I never use minimal adb/fastboot but always the package that comes with the full android sdk
Also try a different USB cable
And you can try cmd as admin instead of the windows power shell not that it should make a difference

So, after upgrading to Android 8.1 OPP28-85-13 . somehow I could not upgrade to version OPP28-85-16 (OFFICIAL VERSION) and so I tried to update the computer, but the same did not recognizes the cell phone.
I already installed the drivers of the motorola 5x, I changed PC, cable, I activated USB debugging, I already changed that MTP option and nothing! The cell phone does not live on the PC, the only thing that happens is that it carries, nothing else! Does anyone have a solution to this? I'm stuck in a version that still has bugs and I can not update anymore ... I've tried everything!
Excuse my English, I'm from Brazil and I can not find anyone here to solve this.

No application that will connect USB will not work, nor with debugging, no use! My salvation would be if there was an application that does these methods over wifi.

Man this is so weird.. In your screenshot the bootloader screen actually detects the phone being connected to usb.

Exactly! But it does not recognize on the system, on any computer. In fastboot it appears that it recognized, but without signal ... With the cellphone turned on normal, also nothing appears in the computer, even with usb debugging

Have you tried in device manager to scan for hardware changes when the phone is connected? And of course you selected mtp right? Have you selected mtp in developer options? You should try to revoke USB debugging authorizations ( right under USB debugging) this will reset the adb permission you first allowed. You should get prompt for permission again when you type adb devices under cmd ( if phone is seen by pc)
When you check your installed programs on pc do you have other USB drivers installed at the same time as the Motorola ones? If so that might cause some issues.

There seems to be quite a few cases like yours if you Google the problem.
Mind looking at this to start with?

USB HOST DIAGNOSTIC

MTP options do not show when connected to Laptop

Hi All,
I hope someone here can help me with the issue I have been facing with my LG G7 from the last two weeks.
Earlier my phone used to show me the MTP options each time I connected it to my laptop using the cable. For some reason, the phone does not show me the MTP options anymore and only charges when connected to the laptop.
I have done the below to try & fix but nothing has helped.
Cleaned the charging port on my phone
Tried a different USB cable
Tried USB debugging
I also did a factory reset on the phone
While researching on the internet, I read about the three dots on the storage tab, I don't have that. Also in developer options the Select USB configuration does not pop-up and when I click it 5 to 6 times a window pops-up and vanishes in a fraction of a second.
Any leads on what needs to done to fix the issue I'm facing?
Screenshot from about the phone attached.

Hi.
Go to C:\Windows\INF\wpdmtp.inf, right click the file, then click 'Install' in the menu. See if that helps.
No Luck.

Hi Romkeris,
Thanks for the tip, tried that with both the phone connected to the laptop and without the phone connected to the laptop and it did not help.
Any other suggestion that you want me to try?

That helped me, with same problem some time ago. Also take a look at device manager if there are no devices with the exclamation mark, when you connect phone.
If there is, delete it and do the same as in my previous post. Also you may try to install latest LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.4.2.exe.

Hi Romkeris,
Thanks for the additional tips. They did not seem to resolve the issue.
I do not have any devices with exclamation marks in my device manager and I have installed the drivers as suggested too. I have also tried using a different laptop and a different cable but both yielded the same output. Just to confirm if it not my laptop, I tried connecting my Pocofone F1 and my laptop was able to detect that but the laptop fails to detect the LG G7 with the same cable as well.
To mention again, I do not even get the MTP options that android devices get when they are connected to computers.

If you can, backup your important documents and try to reset Android to factory defaults. Its seams, it is G7 fault. I think it has big chance to resolve that issue.
This time is the only option I can suggest you.

What did you do with phone before that happened? Is this stock Android?

Hi Romkeris,
I have done nothing actually. It's not rooted and is running the OS that came with the phone.
I have no idea when it stopped working as I don't use the option that often but is must be after some update from LG? I don't know much about this stuff but think the only way to fix this is by LG update or patch?
Also strange that while searching for a solution it's as far as I know just us two having the problem?
As you describe the issue seems to be a physical failure in the USB Connection, do you have noticed slow charging or quick charge failure? Any notification about any USB concern? recent moisture? if yes I would suggest replace USB module, If warranty is not an option, ebay is your friend, go buy the spare and replace it.
I had issue with usb debugging being enabled. Sometimes disabling it helps. Sometimes going from mtp to ptp back to mtp. Or just installing the "standard MTP-device" driver on windows. I had an issue also because my windows was a KN version or N version. You need a media pack thought that didnt help me. I had to install a fresh Windows 10.

Thanks, Smariob.
I think having the USB module replaces may be my last resort as I have tried literally everything apart from this. It was a pain in the A** to have close to 100 GB of data transferred over a memory card as I did not have access to move data directly from the phone to the laptop. Formatting the laptop too did not help.
Thanks anyway, for all your suggestions!

Does this mean I'll not be able to root my device or run adb commands from my PC to the phone?
I have the same issue. I have tried factory reset, using a different charger, and all the other steps listed in this thread. If you have found any solution please share!

these two thing are totally different stuff
imho mtp is terrible and sometimes i've lost files, if the phone is ok the problem is in windows, and 90% times is windows problem.
now if i need to transfer files i use lan wifi with a good file manager, like mixplorer (is buggy but wifi transfer works so far) or any other famous file explorer with samba support.
OR remove sd and use a card reader to be 100% sure.
mtp is really disgusting.

Did you ever find any solution? I replaced my usb port and the problem still continues. I think it may be something with the android software itself and I cannot find anything on how to fix this problem.
