[Q] Options For Connecting To PC Are Missing

Device and Software: HTC Inspire 4g, JellyTime r29(previously Android Revolution HD 6.3.1)
Problem:
Cannot choose how to connect to PC(no usb options appear on the phone), the phone starts charging as soon as I plug it in.
Possible Cause:
I connected my phone to a USB port on a car stereo and my phone and the stereo kept flipping back and forth between screens. I disconnected the phone immediately, but the USB connected icon was still in my notification bar. I restarted the phone and everything seemed fine until I tried to plug my phone in 3 days ago.
Things I've Tried Already:
-Restarting the phone
-Pulling the battery
-Trying different USB Ports
-Trying different cables
-Trying different PCs
-Trying USB Debugging both on and off
-Trying fastboot on and off
-Trying an "auto-mount" app(Multi-Mount SD)
-Trying "USB Mass Storage" App for Jelly Bean
-Setting Disk Drive mode as default and turning the "Ask Me" option on and off
-Reflashing the ROM (followed these directions for flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731)
-Flashing the USB fix found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24198708&postcount=90
-Flashing a new ROM
-Searching for a solution(derp).

Try a different ROM?

I was thinking about it, but this one has been working fine for months so It seems unlikely to me that that's the cause, especially when i haven't come across anyone running the same ROM with the same problem.
I'll still think about it, I dunno what ROM I'd switch to though. I liked CyanogenMod 7 but that one wouldn't run videos correctly for some reason :\

I have had ROMs get glitchy over time; no idea why, but I have seen it happen. And I think that second line is just his signature.

Ah, most forums have a bar separating the signature from the post so I was confused lol.

Just flashed JellyTime, I still have the same problem :\.

It charges fine right?

Yup. I just tried using USB Mass Storage app for JB, and that doesn't work either, although apparently the app does know that the USB is plugged in.

Most likely a port problem on your device. Go to a repair shop and see how much they charge

Well that sucks. I did get it to come up once by flashing a rooted stock rom, but when I selected disk drive nothing showed up on my PC, and when I disconnected it and reconnected it the icon wouldn't show up anymore XP

I just realized I put this in the wrong forum .

Try going to a fully stock state (S-ON, stock no root) and see if it helps. If not, definitely a port problem.

How do you do that without being able to connect to the PC?

Flash an RUU. I'll ask someone from the Ace Think Tank to help you, they're the best
If I find a link to an RUU ill post it. Where you from in the world?

I found this one(the bottom one), but it says I have to be connected to a PC to get it to work. Also, I'm from America.

First flash a different rom see if the same issue happens in that rom. You can also boot into recovery and try mounting the sd card before flashing a ruu. You may also want to reinstall the drivers for your phone (the drivers on your pc).

Yeah, sorry about that. I skimmed through the post. After submitting the reply I saw that you already tried a different rom. You could give that a shot, installing htc sync. Have you tried the sd card on a different phone, or connected directly to the computer or a different sd card on your phone? Besides this I'm out of ideas.

Best custom rom for the LG G4?

Hello, I'm getting today the LG G4(H815) and Im wondering what is the best rom to install?
I've heard the battery life is not very good becuase of the LG interface, so a custom rom should fix it, and from what I've seen there's not much different between Android 5.1 and 6, so I don't really mind, what custom rom do you use, and why?
Thanks.

I'm running die latest nightly of CM 13 and in my opinion it's very good!
Everything I need for daily use just works fine.

There is no "BEST" for every body. There is only what people have found is best for them based on how they use their phone, their signal, setup, preferences, etc. They found what was best for them by reviewing all the top listed ROMs in the development section. The top list means they are the most active. Read the first few posts on each and find out what features they have and if those are the ones you are looking for. Then read the last 10 pages or so to see if anyone has any problems and how they fixed them. Then choose the one you want to try...back up your current setup, wipe all data and flash the new ROM. Give it a try and see if that is the one that is BEST for you. If not, restore your setup or try again.
Happy Flashing!

First thanks for the detailed comment, second, can you please remind me the order from stock new phone to flashing custom rom?(I mean, first you root the phone, then open bootloader, install TWRP, etc etc) Thanks.

Go into your app drawer. Go to Settings then to the very bottom for device info, then something that sounds like Hardware info. You will find your IMEI number in there.

I already tried that as well, but its not working for me, the cmd says "Device not found", but the device is connected(and the computer is recognizing the phone as well), I also tried to getting into fastboot through flashtool, but its not working as well, I tried many options, usb debugging on/off, mtp/the other one, but its not working(but the computer is recognizing the phone and I can enter the phone storage).

If it says Device not found, you do not have ADB drivers properly installed. Try to download and install fresh drivers for your phone..or plug it into another port and watch the driver installation to make sure all drivers are installed. If you get a red X for ADB driver then you need to remove drivers, download updated ones and install.

On the same topic, how is the camera on other roms?
I'm assuming on all STOCK variants we have the same camera app as LG provides.
But what happens with CM13 for instance? (do we have manual controls, is the quality degraded...?)
Thanks

Either way, your device will need to be recognized by ADB to unlock the bootloader. Make sure if you are using a desktop to use the USB ports in the back directly on the motherboard and not the ones in the front. Do you have any errors in device manager? Whichever error you have you need to fix that driver. With my 6P I had problems with the Google USB driver. Took me 2 hours to realize which was the problem and find one that would install somewhere on the net.

I actually do have a little problem, sometimes, with different time periods, but every now and then, my keyboard stops working for like 2 seconds, my computer is trying to find usb keyboard driver, it fails to update it, but the keyboard still works, don't know if it have any connection, but I'll try to do it on another computer(don't know why I didn't thought of it until now ;o)
Edit - not working on other computer as well, really don't know what to do ;\

Custom ROM's are generally good overall. CandySIX and Resurrection are both extremely good ROM's. However, where they lack seriously is the quality of sound generally from the speakers and headphones. That being said, its best to settle for a Stock based ROM. IMHO Imperium ROM is unparalleled in that department, best battery backup and of course awesome sound. It even integrates with Viper Audio very well. Its my everyday ROM at the moment. If anyone thinks differently, please do let me know. I would love to get some opinions on this.

[HELP] Fast Charge Won't Work and PC Won't Recognize Device

I bought two brand new Samsung adaptive fast chargers (USB brick & cable) the other day and my phone will not fast charge and my PC will not recognize it. Every time I connect my note 4 to my pc the error message says "USB device not recognized." I've tried everything. I stalled kies, uninstalled then reinstalled my drivers, even took my phone to a repair shop to put in a new charging port.... I have 2 laptops. One is running windows 10 and the other is running windows 7 and they both give me the same error message. I'm pulling my F*****in hair out!!!!!!!!!

Someone please help!!

You didn't give much in the way of background but I'll do what I can. I'm on Jasmine ROM, which is pretty much stock Marshmallow.
When I plug in my fast charger, nothing I can see says it's fast charging. There's a box in settings>battery to check for fast charging.
As far as the connection to your computer goes: when I plug in and I pull down on the notification bar, there's a tab that for me says "USB Charging." If I touch on that tab, it'll give a list of options, one of which is "File Transfer." Click on that radio button. If you like, you can go into settings>developer options and touch "USB Configuration." Click on the "MTP" radio button and file transfer will be the default mode when you plug in.
If this seems obvious, I'm sorry. I don't know what level of experience you have with your phone or your phone's configuration. It's not a common problem which is why it took some time to get to answer your question.

I've tried everything I can think of including the tips you provided. I'm on PaulPizz's rom and I didnt have these problems before. Every time I connected my charger, it gave me a notification that it was fast charging, now it doesnt. Now when I connect my device to my pc, my Note 4 doesnt give me any options. Not even MTP or PTP. It's as if i dont even have it connected to my computer.

You may have gotten a bad flash. I don't have experience with PaulPizz's ROM but since I believe it's based on the OEM Marshmallow... you are on that version of the ROM, correct?... I'd suggest you try flashing again. And if not PaulPizz, it's all working good for me on Jasmine.
And if you are using the Marshmallow version of PaulPizz, did you unlock the Marshmallow bootloader? You need to be careful. It's quite confusing because Marshmallow ROMs don't necessarily have to use Marshmallow bootloaders. But if the ROM uses a Marshmallow base, your bootloader must be Marshmallow as well.

I'm on his latest version of 5.1.1. It did this before I flashed his newest rom. I flashed it thinking it would fix the issue but it didnt. I put his rom on my SD card after i connected it to my computer by itself with an adapter. I did everything right. Wiped data and cache before flashing. The rom works perfectly. I'm really hoping it's not a hardware issue, but unfortunately that's a possibility. I can't upgrade to MM because I have to use Odin and I can't even use it.

Give hsbadr's Jasmine ROM a shot. I wouldn't worry about going the 4.3 route. Just flash the 4.0 and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, I'll have to agree that it's a hardware issue. If it does go away, then you can install 4.3 and the fixes.
Backup your current ROM first. Check off all of the boxes. Wipe the Dalvik/cache/system/data, (you didn't mention that you wiped the system) then flash the ROM. If you have anything like pictures or music on your internal storage, move them somewhere safe first. Let us know how it works out for you, and good luck.

Did you ever have any luck with anything? I have the same issue on my note 4, my usb port is basically useless other than slow charging. I have even replaced the port twice in efforts to fix it, tried different roms, etc. At this point I believe it is hardware, something with the motherboard.

Fast charge wont work
I too have the same problem. It quit fast charging. I ordered genuine Samsung battery and charge cable. It dont work. Its not the battery or charging device. I finally got it hooked to my pc or recognize it. Fast charge wont work. Its not the batt, charger, or port. Its either VZN software or a hardware issue. I am trying to downgrade it to 6,0 to see if it 6.1 upgrade. Kies wont let me downgrade. I really think it is a bug in Verizon 6.1 upgrade. Any help will be appreciated

My phone will fast charge on my two vehicle chargers (at 1.5 amps and 2.1 amps), but refuses to change any faster than 500 mA on two separate fast charger bricks. The same bricks work fine for fast charging other phones, so it's my phone, not the charging hardware. I'm using the same cable for all instances, which leads me to believe that something is wrong with how the phone interprets the "smart charging" signal on the bricks, or that the phone is sending the wrong charging signal.
Does anyone have the issue with bricks but not with chargers without "smart charging" capabilities?
I've had this problem on stock 5.1.1, Jasmine rom 6.0.1, and now CM13. I full wiped everything when reinstalling, so either it's hardware, or an issue propigated through many roms. I've tried a few different kernels too, just to see if that was the problem.
Akashp2011, did you flash both the rom and the kernel for Paul Pizz? I never tried that combination.
I'm changing the battery tomorrow to check that possibility.

Flash custom kernel w/o Fastboot or custom recovery

My phone was damaged in such when I connect my phone in bootloader mode to my PC, I get a error 42. I'm running stock android with the latest security patch and stock recovery and an unlocked bootloader. I've been flashing the stock kernel w/ the safety net patch but I was unable to do so the month. Is there any option to apply the kernel now that I can't use fastboot?

You can flash a kernel with EX kernel manager from the Play Store.

No I believe it's an issue with the phone. I have a co-work with a Pixel and when I connect his phone to my computer in bootloader mode, windows sees it normally.

I was looking to see if I could modify the stock OTA with the modded kernel, since I know sideloading a update.zip works.

Have you checked the pins on the USB-C connector for the pixel? Maybe cleaning it with alcohol will help? You can also try Linux/Ubuntu and installing ADB to rule out Windows.

if sideloading an update.zip works, have you tried sideloading a full ota? maybe that will fix whatever's wrong with your bootloader that's causing the error 42 message.

So I finally spooled up a Linux environment and it says there was a over-current getting tripped. So I'm thinking it's a hardware issue. I'm going to look into getting the charging assembly replaced.

MTP, OTG, FASTBOOT, NONE of them seem to be working, only charging works.

Hey guys, So I bought a used Mi MIX 2 phone, but the front camera and USB MTP, OTG, none seem to be working. More over the Sim tray has some Chinese writing on it. Miui 11 latest global is installed. I want to unlock and root, but trying many wires, pc, otgs none are working with the phone. I tried with all developer options, USB debugging and even adding my unlock enabled mi account to the device, factory reset and stock recovery wipe as well. Doesn't work. Pc doesn't detect it no matter what. Please help? Any suggestions would be welcome, thank you.
any opinions about deep flash using deep flash wire?

It was out of warranty, but yes, it was a hardware issue, I have done this a million times, so it definitely wasn't a driver issue. Received my device today, rooted and Havoc Os installed.
Problem with my city is that no repair guide is reliable except the official service center. They steal or exchange phone parts. It's even scary to give them my phone. So went the official route instead.
