No OS, OTG not recognized. Am I bricked?

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.

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.

USB Data transfert not working

Hello everyone,
Since few days, I have a really enoying issue with my Pixel 2 XL.
Android Auto is not working anymore.
after differents diagnostic test, USB data is not working at all. I tried different USB cable, different Android Auto car and different Computer. I have only USB charge.. not data. Even if I enable USB debbug or if I try in safe mode
Does anyone have the same issue ?
What can I do ?
thank you for your help !

Have you tried revoking USB debugging authorizations and then re-enabling? It is the option just below the USB debugging toggle. Taking AA completely out of the equation, if after you have tried more than one USB-A to USB-C cables on more than one PC and cannot get MTP working you probably need to do a factory data reset. This will confirm whether you have a hardware issue or not. It is also the first step Google will require you to do prior to allowing an RMA.
Edit: You can also test if fastboot is working in bootloader mode, and if adb is working in recovery mode.

thank you for your help..

I'm not sure you understood... my suggestion was to test the phone in bootloader mode and send fastboot commands to it from your PC (eg. fastboot devices) -and- while in recovery mode (eg. adb devices). This is of course with adb debugging enabled. You also didn't answer my question about revoking adb in Developer Settings and then re-authorizing it? I still suspect you have a cable/pc driver issue.

Oups sorry my answer is not really clear.
Yes I revoke all ADB computer in developer setting . I try to boot in fastboot mode and recovery mode but ADB devices and fastboot device command doesn't work.
I can't see the device in my w10 computer in device manager

Use THIS tool to view and remove any Google related USB drivers and try again. Don't worry about removing any drivers, they will re-install. Make sure you get them all out, REBOOT the PC and then plug your device back in. Are there any conflicts in your Device Manager in the USB section?

I had the same problem with my Nexus 5x (now dead) and recently pixel 2xl where there is no charging options or USB debugging mode in all different modes(recovery, fast boot) like yours.
What I did before it was installing Andromeda. Not sure if your case was the same.
Anyway, I fixed mine by going to safe mode. Plugging usbA to C, and connecting to mac. Tried changing usbc between the orientation while trying "adb devices" in the terminal on mac. After a while plugging in in each orientation. It came back to work. Not sure why..
Try it on your windows machine if it worked

No more usb access on windows 10

Hi all,
I have a Oneplus 3 with the last update (OxygenOS 5.0.4) and I can't access to my files with an USB cable.
I try on 3 computers with differents cables, and the OTG parameter on ON but nothing works.
Drivers are normally ok.

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

I just bought an used 3T and have the same problem. I have tried every possible software solution I guess I have to try to replace USB port but if it doesn't help I don't know what I'll do...

I had the same issue but a fix I found to work was when my Oneplus 3 was plugged into my computer, the dropdown notification that says "Android System" - USB charging this device can be changed to transfer files and after that option is picked, my phone is detected by my computer. Maybe this will help some of you

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Question Pixel 6 Pro isnt shown in Windows Explorer

Hey everyone,
I cant get my phone to be shown in Windows File Explorer.
Yes I already switched to Datatransfer via the notification.
I tried different cables, rebooted both devices, turned on USB-Debugging, but its just not showing up.
When attaching my OnePlus 7 Pro it works perfectly fine.
Any Ideas?

It's usually either the cable or the port, maybe try out another USB slot on your PC.

Hey everyone,
I cant get my phone to be shown in Windows File Explorer.
Yes I already switched to Datatransfer via the notification.
I tried different cables, rebooted both devices, turned on USB-Debugging, but its just not showing up.
When attaching my OnePlus 7 Pro it works perfectly fine.
Any Ideas?

Mine wouldn't either and to get it to open I had to have developer options turned on. That was the first thing I did when I received the phone, turn developer options on and when it's off the computer won't recognize the phone so I just leave it on all the time.

I've had the exact same issue ever since first getting the 6 Pro. Tried different cables, different ports, developer options is on, tried every single different USB driver I could find etc etc.
The only way I can get my PC to see the phone is to choose "PTP" as the connection method and then it will just show me the photo folders on the phone. Highly frustrating!

Take a look at this Reddit thread.

curious what device manager says for you guys? under Portable Devices (with usb debugging disabled) - Pixel 6 or LeMobile?

Have you tried with this driver installed?
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.
developer.android.com

Make sure your device's DEFAULT USB CONFIGURATION under Developer Options (half way down) is set to "file transfer/android auto". Mine was set to "no data transfer" by default

Type C to Type C works just fine.

This is what mine shows. You know, now that I think about it, I saw in Windows there were "optional" updates (second screenshot), two of which say "LeMobile". If yours says LeMobile, try uninstalling those drivers from Device Manager and installing the official Google ones as @Lughnasadh
suggested https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb. You can also do as @Az Biker suggested, or each and every time you connect your phone to your computer, you'll have to toggle the notification to set it to USB file transfer mode (third screenshot).

When you click on your notification, you don't see the option I have chosen below "Use USB for" "File transfer / Android Auto" (first screenshot)?. Also, as I believe has also been suggested, you can go into Developer Options and choose "Default USB configuration", and then choose "File transfer / Android Auto" from there (second and third screenshots).
If you don't see the same options as I show in these screenshots, can you post some of what you do see?

The Pixel 6 seems to be somewhat sensitive to some cables. A few things: if you have ADB Debugging on, then the driver will show as an ADB interface under Android Device. so if you are just wanting to transfer files, turn it off. it should work with developer options disabled. Also, sometimes if your usb drivers aren't updated or installed properly, then it won't show up properly. a lot of computers don't have usb-c ports so just make sure all your drivers are up to date (using the official manufacturer's method, not third party driver apps). And on a PC, try using the ports on the back of the computer. Different cables and last but not least try a different computer. this will resolve 99% of issues. last tip is to try connecting the phone when its in safe mode.

Brand new Pixel 6 and Windows 10 with latest updates. I've tried everything from various cables to uninstalling and reinstalling drivers with no joy. In PTP, the pixel shows up in device manager under portable devices and also in file explorer, but only with ADB debugging enabled. Switch to USB File Transfer and it disappears. My workaround is to create a folder in DCIM, copy with PTP to the new folder, and then using the Android Files app, move the files to where I want them. Very frustrating. Almost making me wish I had stuck with my Huawei.
Under Android devices in Device Manager, it read Google Nexus ADB Driver. I uninstalled and then deleted the driver, Android Composite Interface self-installed, and now File Transfer works. Go Figure.

Forget about adb drivers, that has nothing to do with UMS, so don't waste your time.
I'd suggest *trying* with a linux liveusb to see if it works there. If it does, it rules out a hardware problem and demonstrates that there is nothing wrong on the phone side, and confirms that the problem is, as with most problems, the fault of that windows trash.

Right click the ADB-device in device manager (somehow it says ACER @ mine), choose properties > manual driver update and choose the standard usb-mtp driver. After that you will see your pixel and its contents (when u choose file transfer).

^100%.
adb/fastboot are completely different drivers and have nothing to do the Mass Storage drivers that are built into windows since WinME. There is no driver to download. Make sure USB debugging is off on the pixel (and better yet entire developer options just to get this working). Make sure there are no "unknown devices" in Device Manager when the phone isn't plugged in because that could be a usb driver issue.
Then connect a known working cable that you've used before. Use the back usb ports of its an older computer. These drivers are built into windows (For Mac you will need to download the File Transfer drivers from Android's website).
If that still doesn't work, try another computer. You'll be going in circles until you've verified that the computer and cable are working. Process of elimination.
You can try the free nirsoft.com app called USBDeview to see if it's shows up, but 99% sure its a cable or windows issue.

With all due respect, I beg to differ. I neglected to mention previously that it only works with ADB debugging on. With debugging off, no joy. I must have something to do with ADB. I have gone around in the circles described by Alekos and what I posted above is the only thing that has worked. With ADB debugging on and with Android Composite ADB Interface installed on device manager under Android Device, it works. With ADB debugging off, it doesn't work. By the way, I have used a good cable on multiple computers without success.

Absolutely false. Completely unrelated.
