Been trying to figure this out for the last few days, Google support has been too. I've tried the basics, different usb cord stock and not, factory reset going to stock, different kernels, different roms.
I can only get my nexus 7 2013 to charge when I go to bootloader, then to power off, then uplug the cord and plug back in fast. Once the device is on I get nothing when I plug the usb in, computer or AC. I used to be able to connect to PC no problem. I use the OTG cable a lot for HDDs and my camera, now nothing works. Tried USB debugging on and off and MTP.
I would just say the usb port broke somehow and go for an RMA but since it charges while it's off I feel like it's software related... If you guys have any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

If you've tried different kernels, roms, and I assume different a PC, USB ports, USB cable, then you've eliminated software as a possibility, as well as external hardware, I would do a backup, (unroot and flash back to stock and relock is applicable) then RMA it, you're only delaying the inevitable by waiting it could be some corruption in the emmc, or some other hardware fault that might act unreliably.

Is there a way I can put it to full stock, bootloader and recovery through just the device. Since I can't connect to PC. The only way I came across was through the toolkits.

Well, you can boot into a custom recovery I assume, so you can flash a rom from there (you can get zips from here), then you can root the device (needed for next step), that part is easy enough, the following is only theoretical, go into the OS, install that bootloader lock/unlock app, lock the bootloader, then unroot from within SuperSU (that last part I'm not sure of since you just relocked the bootloader, so not sure if it will work.) Of course even if all that did work, you will still have a custom recovery, so hopefully they won't see that, I believe there are apps which can install custom recoveries from within the OS, but I don't think they flash the stock one.
Maybe someone else more knowledgeable knows of a better/effective way and they will chime in and correct me, etc.

I do think this will work. I don't think flashing a recovery voids warranty if you aren't rooted and unlocked... Thank you for the help man. Wish it wasn't RMA but is what it is...

I just did another factory reset. This time with Elemental kernel, stock 4.4.2 from google. Probably the 4th time I've factory reset but first time with this kernel. All of a sudden I got ADB connected to PC, first time I've had any response from usb while tablet was up and running for 3 days. Might not have to RMA after all

I hope it stays fixed, sometimes problems caused by hardware can be intermittent. Keep testing it daily.
I need help, my ZF2 suddenly cannot be detected by my windows 7 laptop and pc. When I tried to plug in usb 3 port, it wont get detected. If in usb 2/1 port, it will be detected but with the yellow exclamation mark. I tried updating mtp but it wont update (shows device is up to date). I tried reinstalling ROM and factory reset thru the ROM, but still not working.
I returned to stock but still it wont get detected on my pc or laptop. I ****ed everthing up when I returned to stock since I cant root it back anymore since it wont get detected by adb.
Evereything is up to date including 15sec adb installer 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 and intel usb driver 1.10 from 1.9.
I will try to reformat thru stock recovery and see if it will work. But before doing that, any suggestion or ideas?
Does it charge while connected to the laptop?
Have you tried using other micro USB cables?

Yes, it charged when I plugged it on different port. And yes, I have tried different cables, samsung, asus and dont know brand chords. All cables only shows usb device malfunction code 43 and all charged my phone when plugged to ports.
Anybody? Suggestions? Ideas?
Anyone?

I used to have a twrp 3.0.0-0 recover then flash .165 recovery then flash .165 stock ROM. And after reboot, still cant get detect by any port. It just charged my phone. Then I updated to .174 but still no detection.

I have already returned to stock rom and recovery all is good, but my problem still exist. I cant get my phone to get detect by my PC or laptop. It just charged and it show usb device malfunction code 43. I got all drivers installed since I was able to root and flash custom roms before. Im asking if hard reseting thru stock recovery will fixed my problem and if you have any others ideas please share. Like how to root my device again without using pc/lwptop.

Still usb device malfunction code 43. Thanks man
I had the same issues when my Zenfone's chip set fried - PC did not recognise the phone, phone did not recognise USB drives, fast charging not working. To be precise what happened: one day I plugged in the cable (original one, with original charger), the phone showed high temperature warning and shut down. Then after a while I turned it back on but USB wasn't working any more, except for the slow charging. Sent in for a warranty repair, it was stuck there for like 2 months before they sent me a new phone.
Had the same problem, it turned out that my zenfone 2's charging port and microphone had been damaged. Replaced the parts from a third party repair man as my warranty was void. He returned me a very well functioning and no more problematic zennie within a week
It surely isn't a software problem..
Hope it helped..

I went to a 3rd party repairman and he said he just replaced the flex data cable or something like that, he also said it is common for zenfone smartphone. Then my phone is detectable again.
I'm having a weird issue with my Pixel 2 XL. I recently purchased Pixel 3 and used the adapter to transfer apps, etc from my Pixel 2 to the Pixel 3. It worked as intended.
However, after that happened, the Pixel 2 XL is not being recognized by my computer. I plug it in and it only charges and there's no notification to change usb mode. It also won't charge using the included charger that came with the phone.
My end goal is to unroot and relock bootloader so i can sell it but obviously I'm stuck. I've read it may be a USB 3.0 issue so I've ordered a 2.0 cable and it should be here in a couple days but looking for any suggestions. Below is what I've tried:
* Multiple computers and different cables
* USB debugging is on and default USB is set to file transfer.
* I've cleared media storage and external storage cache per Google product forums.

Your likely right. Getting a 2.0 USB A to USB C cable is probably the solution. Many have had this issue. Including myself. There's even been times when a cable that did work, didn't work the next day. Then a week latter, it will. Go figure! :fingers-crossed:

So I got in the new USB 2.0 cable and computer still doesn't recognize the phone. I updated drivers and that didn't work either. I also uninstalled drivers but seeing as the computer isn't recognizing phone, it's not installing drivers when the phone is plugged back in.
The phone works except there's an update pending but it won't install, which I'm assuming it's do to the fact the bootloader is unlocked.
Is there anyway to install March security update using just twrp and downloading files to my phone and see if that'll work?

Bummer man! You've got a stubborn one, or a bad port. You can download the OTA from here....
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Then flash it in twrp. However, remember to flash twrp again after the update is finished, then let the phone boot up, then go back to twrp and flash root and custom kernel if you use one :good:

Well hot damn! Excellent my friend. Glad it all worked out for you. These darn things have a mind of their own at times I think! :good:
I just see black screen with fire tv now. It doesn't show up when I type adb devices anymore. I was running commands on it left and right. I was able to unlock bootloader after hardware mode then was trying to install a custom rom ??? The command I know was something like abcde .......wipe/ system ._. Yea I know. Tried to do the hardware mod again but not picking it up. Is it gone ?

TWRP is still there when you restart/boot the stick? (you have to use OTG y cable + mouse in order to check that).
If TWRP is still there, then you can use it to restore a full stock rom or flash the system image.

What custom rom (there isn't one available for the 4k)? From a linux install try a lsusb and see if anything is there (preloader or phone). When you were running commands, were you in the hacked fastboot? As @Pretoriano80 said, get in into twrp and flash, here is a link to the latest to flash to restore, but hopefully you made a backup for you started.

TWRP was there but after performing /systemwipe i just see that black screen with firetv logo on the screen it skips the TWRP :/ nothing shows up when i type in adb devices (Minimal ADB and Fastboot) like before it would give a serial number and connected status. nothing in adblink either.
i did ordered that cable like 1 month ago it's not here yet. I might ordered another one today from amazon. I was wondering isn't there any software which can turn laptop keyboard to firestick keyboard from some commands? Adb link has remote which i can use ONCE it's inside the fireOS. A physical keyboard with OTG cable is must for this ? Any alternative ?
and i did search all the first 3 pages of the forum to find the stock rom for 4k firestick but couldn't may be because its was 3 am lol
Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the stock rom link, i wished i would have found that last night earlier but i guess it's too late now ._. i will try the hardware mod again but it's not detecting it. i also broke one of the chip before, the hardware mode still went last night earlier so it should work again ?

Sounds like you unlocked. Did you make it to twrp?
Lsusb is a Linux command in terminal that will show what is connected. This will tell what mode it is in. I broke a chip off one of mine too (tweezers were a bad thought), but that was 7 months ago missing it and it still runs like the rest of mine sticks. The 4k is called mantis, tank is the fire stick2. Totally different.

That shows you an obvious error in the fastboot step.
Try using a different cable and be sure to do the process from an 2.0 Port.
Since the bootROM part is already done, just type:
Code:
sudo ./boot-fastboot.sh
Connect the stick WITHOUT SHORT ANYTHING and the script will ask to the Preloader to boot to Hacked Fastboot Mode.
When you see "Hacked Fastboot Mode" in the screen of the device, try running fastboot-step.sh again.

i have ordered last month, still not here yet. Might order another one from amazon today. isn't there any software which can convert laptop keyboard temporarily for firestick?
and this might be thinking too oddly but lets say i have a micro usb to usb adapter after i plug that in firestick can i take a usb to usb cable and plug it into usb hub? and then plug keyboard mouse usb drive in it ....all going to firestick via usb to usb cable finally converting the signal from usb to usb micro adapter. i believe i have a usb hub which can be powered...

No, it has to be a otg. On boot, it will detect it and automatically give you the option for recovery. If you can get into fastboot (you were there before when you ran fastboot.sh you might be able to boot into recovery with fastboot reboot recovery or something simalar. But being in recovery you wont be able to do much unless you have adb connections, or a mouse/keyboard with OTG. Amazon is basically shipping a week for everything right now. I think you really need a OTG to pull it out. ADB and fastboot commands can really screw things up from my novice experience. Get that OTG and try it. I will warn, get one that says it will work for the firestick4k, they dont all work....Make you you give a thanks to the people trying to help, no one is getting paid here...

Thank you for that information. Appreciate it. Yea everything is late on amazon now even prime :/ but hopefully i find one which works on the first try otherwise it would be a super bumber...
..but then again how would i know if it's the otg NOT working OR the firestick software/hardware? i did broke one capacitor and was running commands on it like a mad man lol , i believe the CLK one on the picture. what it is for ? why was the firestick still working almost normally after i broke it ? attaching the picture

There are some that say they work. The ones i have had issues with are the OTG hubs. Depending on which chip was damaged, but i broke one off of mine too about 7 months ago (tweezers are bad) but it has been working the same as the rest of mine. could be a heat thing?
Aaahhhhh hit that virus with a brick because i was able to finally fix my firestick last night, pheww!!
thank you everyone for helping
now i need to research the fastest way to clone my ENTIRE setup. I rooted it.

I have a similar problem with my firestick, How did you manage to fix yours?
Had to do the hardware mode multiple times until i landed at TWRP screen then used adb to flash the stock rom

Were you unlocked? Unless you were playing with recovery, If you have a OTG plugged in from a power off state you should get a recovery option.

Hi Michajin (Thanks for the reply)
Yes I have an unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and was rooted.
I can get into TWRP via OTG, but it doesn't matter what I flash (Stock or Pre-Rooted), all I get is a black screen (I've left it overnight just to be sure).
I was thinking maybe I should try to flash directly from bootloader rather than TWRP, or making a backup from my other firestick and trying that (the data partition at least).
Either way I'll have to do a little more research first, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated....
Hey guys, so I used googles flash tool to update December patch and it keeps failing at writing to phone 1 of 11.
It's now in a bootloop but can access fastboot.
Ive tried to completely reset the phone manually using adb but it fails. It just doesn't work and aborts basically the phone rejects all data transmission.
What am I doing wrong or can I get a more detailed way to reset the phone completely.
-Edit-
I was also rooted and was following the guide for rooted December 12.
The main error is
(Error reading sparse file)
Why did you use the flash tool? General recommendation is, as long as you're running stock, just use the full OTA packages.
For the flash tool to be usable you need to OEM unlock your phone (while it's in a working state!).
If you can access fastboot you should be able to access recovery as well, where you can flash the full OTA, which should fix your issue.

Because I'm rooted and recovery doesn't work.
I should have just done it manually instead of the flash tool method published here.
I just don't get why the system image isn't flashing now, the bootloader and radio flash work, but not the actual update. It's the correct version and all.
If the online flash tool isn't working for you, download the factory image from google's website and use the flash-all.bat to flash the device. Ensure that you modify the flash-all.bat file to not wipe data before running. This can be done by modifying one line in the file. Which is the following:
Code:
fastboot -w update image-raven-....zip
to
Code:
fastboot update --disable-verity --disable-verification image-raven-....zip
When flashing ensure that phone is in bootloader first.
So I got it to work after several hours. Literally just worked after trying another Google USB cable that was USB c to USB c, or maybe it worked cause of something else. Not sure, I don't like how finicky pixels have become. I discovered it's sometimes a luck thing when it wants to flash or not according to many people when searching the internet for solutions.
So i got a lil problem. i updated the pixel 6 pro to december update but upon booting up it says your phone is corrupted and sits at the google bootup screen. i can still use fastboot and whatnot but every img i tried i get the same message and it sits again?

first try this method that was posted - sometimes you can save your phone this way. if that doesn't work: you can download the factory image and remove the "-w" command in the flash-all.bat file (save it properly) - this will prevent wiping your phone. you'll need adb/fastboot tool and drivers. if you need help with this just reply.
if that doesn't work, you can go this route (but it will wipe your phone) you can use the "flash" link on the factory image page here. if you press the "flash" link in blue, it will take you to the correct build at flash.android.com (click on the build version 12.0.0 (SD1A.210817.037, Nov 2021) - that's the one that worked for me.

What method did you use to update? Are you rooted? If so, what version of Magisk did you use?

Use the Android Flash Tool to flash the latest December update. Don't check any of the boxes.

You'll always get this message upon reboot once the bootloader is unlock.
It's normal, and you can disregard it entirely (unless you want the absolutely most secure device possible, then you should lock the bootloader, and this message will go away)

sounds like a user error; if it's fixed you might want to update your first post with solutions in case others have similar issues.

There are definitely better and worse USB-C cables. I've successfully fully flashed my P6P connected to a powered USB-A (3.2 Gen 2) Hub in one room through a USB extension cable 10-15 feet from my computer in another room. The hub and the extension cable are reasonably "robust", and I've found them reliable, but they're not particularly reputable name brands by any means. The USB-A -> USB-C cable I have connected to that hub is from my old HTC 10, too.
