Galaxy Nexus(Verizon CDMA)
ICS 4.0.4
Build number: IMM30B
Unlocked
Not rooted
I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with my Galaxy Nexus. My Mac, PC, or Linux box won't recognize my phone anymore. I've tried multiple battery pulls, cords, driver updates(Windows 7), an have wiped the phone. My Nexus 7 is recognized by all 3 PCs so it seems like a phone issue.
When I first got the phone, it had 4.0.2 on it but the battery life was horrendous so I manually flashed 4.0.4 IMM30B instead of waiting for the official OTA. I have read on another thread that someone with the same version of ICS had the same USB issue. They ended up returning the phone. I have a feeling that this is software related and not hardware.
So my question is, is it possible for me to go back to stock 4.0.2. It seems like Odin and fastboot all need usb. I read that a factory format may be possible using a dialer code(*2767*3855#), but when I tried it it didn't do anything. Probably worth noting that I didn't take any backups before flashing.
only thing i know without a USB is mobile ODIN.

Thanks for the response Zep but from what I understand Mobile Odin requires root

Are you sure it's not a driver issue?
If you can't use the USB port AND you don't have root AND you don't have a custom recovery, I don't think there is much else you can do.

Efrant is correct. I think you should try manually installing drivers for Galaxy Nexus. There are few helpful instruction on how to install drivers on xda

On you windows box, what do you see when you plugin your phone with the device manger window open? Is nothing detected at all?
Are you using the same cable between the nexus 7 adn the Gnex? If not, the cable you are using with your Gnex may be a charge only cable or it could be damaged.
Hi,
So I have a brand new SII that T-Mobile sent me when my old one's power button broke. The phone was running unrooted, stock Android 4.0.4
I decided to upgrade to Jellybean as discussed here, and by following the directions on T-Mobile's website. Before I started, I double checked that I had Android version 4.0.4, and that my baseband version was T989UVLI1.
Downloaded Kies, updated Kies to the latest version, turned on USB debugging, plugged in phone, started upgrade.
Got a message saying upgrade had failed, and to try Kies firmware emergency recovery. I've tried running emergency recovery a few times with no luck.
Any suggestions on what to do from here?
Yea just root it and then install the rooted version of the new update.
So apparently not all USB ports are created equal. I switched ports on my Macbook Pro and firmware recovery worked like a charm...must be a driver issue with Kies.

I figured rooting wasn't the best idea since the firmware was already screwed up...as long as it got screwed up from Kies + T-Mobile's instructions I could get a new phone, but if I tried rooting and the phone was already so screwed up that it didn't work, then they might have raised a stink about the warranty.
GilEste, which macbook do you have? I just upgraded to the latest one and can't get my phone to communicate to either of my USB ports.

I have a mid 2012 macbook pro with retina display. For me, Kies detected the phone from both ports, but kept having errors with the left port. The right port worked for emergency firmware recovery.
The exact same thing happened to me. The update failed and emergency recovery failed.
I tried a different PC and it could not recognize the phone (on that one for some reason kies was locked at 25% cpu of 4 cores and running really slow).
I went back to the original PC and tried different ports, even a USB 3.0 add-on card without success.
I will try exchanging the phone today, but I still want to take the replacement to JB and I have another 2 phones that need the update.
Thanks
I got the replacement phone and almost immediately tried the update on yet another PC. This time the update was successful and I am seeing how things go. Now I have 2 more phones to update.
I don't know why it worked this time, but on the other PCs it would sometimes fail to detect the phone right away and might require unplugging and plugging back in.
On the PC that worked it did not have any issues. Maybe if there are any issue prior to the update, that is a sign that you should try a different PC.
UPDATED**** 1-23-2014
The USB issue was due to the port malfunctioning. I ordered a replacement part via Ebay for about 7 bucks and fixed it. Now I have PC access. As far as in updating the firmware...after 12 failed attempts via AT&T I just manually did it via Odin and now it is updated. Thanks for everyone trying to help me out. Hated it was a hardware issue and not just a tech/Soft problem :/
The past week I have noticed my Note 2 charging slower than normal. Sometimes randomly disconnecting and connecting when plugged into the ac adaptor. I figured it could have been the cable or the adaptor itself...so I replaced it. It seemed to work...but then it was acting buggy again. Then...lastnight I noticed when I was wanting to transfer a few file from my laptop to the phone...it would charge the phone but would not allow it to connect to the file system at all. I scoured the net for solutions and tried just about everything I could find...as well as the more simpler options as try a different cable...but nothing worked. I also tried it on 2 other laptops...no luck.
My phone was rooted...but never used a custom rom and so I decided to just unroot and do a clean slate in case there was something that borked. Everything went smooth...but now, after doing the unroot and factory reset...the usb still charges...but no connection at all. I went through all the settings and set them as they should and nada. On top of that while I do have my phone service...I have no data at all. I have called att and they were no help. Samsung passed me off to android customer service and they were no help. So now what can I do?
Problems:
-No mobile data available
-No USB to PC file transfer ability (kies air works...but not usb to pc)
-I also cannot update past 4.1.1. The updater says I can check again in 24 hours....lol
Ok...so I fixed one issue already. Found a solution to the mobile data network issue. It would appear that due to the factory reset...it lost all of the APN info for linking with at&t. I found how to restore it here: http://forums.att.com/t5/Android-Di...-Phone-APN-Settings/td-p/3467513#.Ustjil8e-Co
To fix the USB connection to your computer
You need to connect USB. Then, in dialer, dial *#7284#
Go to Qualcomm settings
Select MTP+ADB
Done."

Tried that...before I unrooted and even after unrooting. Still doesn't work
Try installing Samsung Kies on your computer and updating your drivers.
Or try a different cord it might be a bad cord.

Didn't think about trying that. I just attempted though and no luck either
This is irritating because ever since I unrooted and restored to original fw the usb charge works perfectly fine...no longer cutting in and out like it used too. But just cannot connect to the PC via USB for file transfers. Kies works fine doing that...but USB is no long an option
Have you tried uninstalling the old USB drivers for it then reinstalling them?

Yes...no luck
So I did a factory reset again just in case...still the same issues. USB will charge...but no connect. Kies and PC will not see it. Only kies air works. On top of that I have now attempted to update the firmware via at&t through settings and it fails EVERY time. It downloads 100% and after reboot and goes into at&t installation it always fails at 24 or 25%. 5 times in a row...for 5 days is ridiculous. Any more ideas?
At this stage I wish I could re-root it and then flash the original stock rom again to make sure that it didn't bork the first time. But I cant I'm assuming because I need to be able to connect via USB. Am I wrong? Am I wasting my time?

Since USB is charging. Can you check under device manager, what name it is showing for your device? May be you are missing drivers therefore your phone is not recognized by PC.

It doesn't show anything. The only thing that stops the phone charging when I disable or uninstall is what is labeled Renesas electronics USB 3.o root hub and host controller. 2 separate items. BUT...its not plugged into a 3.0 port anyway...even though in the past it has worked fine...for over a year no less. I have uninstalled that item...as well as uninstall the Samsung drivers before...rebooted while phone is NOT plugged in...re-installed the Samsung drivers...then plugged the phone back in and it still doesn't work. Still charges...and the item comes back...but no usb to pc file exploring capabilities. Same for other computers too. Have tried another computer as well...one that my phone has never plugged into. It charges...but no connectivity. The computers just don't even see it for some reason.
Is there a way I can root the phone without USB to pc support? I'm hoping to try and update it once rooted with ODIN.
You don't need root access to flash a stock rom. I was having usb-charging issues, and a return to stock 4.1.1 cured the issue. I replaced the USB board but that didn't fix it. So, stock would be my advice.
You could put the stock package on your SD card using an adaptor and your PC. But I don't know if you have a custom recovery.

My only thing is I have no usb to pc file sharing capabilities unless I use Kies Air. Otherwise I cannot. I have tried now 8 times so far to update the phone and I cannot. It downloads fine...but upon rebooting to install it fails everytime at 24 to 25%. All I want to do is update the phone. It is a simple as that.
Take your SD card out of your phone.
Put it in an adapter.
Put that in a PC with an SD card slot.
Copy the stock ROM to the SD card.
Remove the SD card from the PC and adaptor, then insert it in your phone.
Boot into recovery and flash the ROM.

When you say boot into recovery...are you talking about where I load rom from sd card...adb or something like that? And...can I do this for 4.3? I have 4.1.1 already. I was trying to update to 4.1.2 to see if it will fix the usb issue as well as the updating issue. But if I just had the 4.1.2 and flashed it would that do the same thing as updating?
Hi!
I hope you nice guys could help me out getting my Nexus 7 recognised on a PC, after 2 days of hard work (googling and pulling my hair, literally), no matter what I did, all went in vain. Installed several drivers from google, samsung, htc etc but absolutely nothing happened. Things that I already have tried include
Turned USB debugging on/off
MTP/Camera
Reset my Nexus 7
Tried Windows/Mac/Linux
Tried different cables
My Nexus 6 and LG G2 have no such problem, they get identified for file transfer, fastboot or adb easily, but Nexus 7 is a nightmare. I want to flash 5.0.2 manually because I have TWRP installed. When I connect to a PC it just charges itself and doesn't give a single hint that its connected to a PC, please help me out. What could be the possible problem.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
I been in this situation before on other device. You need to uninstall all other drivers and restart you computer.
plug in your nexus 7 and let the device driver install itself
Done that already. I tried on 5 different machines 2 macs, 2 Windows and a linux. 1 Windows and one Mac machine was absolutely fresh. Thanks for your reply.
Any other ideas.

Why can't you use OTG and flash or transfer the rom from a thumb drive? If OTG won't work, it tells you that the USB port is somehow damaged. Its contact points to the board have been known to disconnect on their own due to shoddy soldering.
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem : have tried to connect my tablet to several computers (windows, linux), on different USB ports and with differents USB cables, but I can't get the computer to recognize the tablet (even in fastboot mode). But wharging the devices works without problems.
I'm starting to think that the microUSB port on the nexus is damaged, even if I've always been cautious with it. The worst part is that Asus is telling me that the tablet is only under 1 year warranty whereas the booklet inside the box says 24 or 36 months... (i am past the first year).
I am considering a serious conception flaw because of other similar posts.
Thanks graphdarnell and luna. I think this is the problem. I tried on several other machines of work and friends, and the broken USB port seems the only reasonable explanation.
So now that I have a nexus 7 with broken USB port, how can I update my nexus 7. Can I revert to stock recovery and install the ota update, or do I have to live with 5.0 with a permanent notification of 5.0.2 update for the rest of its life?

FWIW, I have never been able to get any of my computers to connect to my Nexus 7 in anything other than fastboot mode. I have installed/uninstalled drivers hundreds of times. Eventually just gave up and started using usb-otg.

Did you try OTG? If yes, and it doesn't work, the solution would be to re-flow the usb port. It's no big deal, but you need a little patience, some soldering skills, and the right soldering tip. I could have helped you if you were nearby.
CM 12 has ADB through wi-fi (if I remember correctly), but it's pointless in your situation. Airdroid in Playstore allows you to transfer files through wi-fi from PC to tablet. And there are other apps functioning similarly too.
A word of caution: you want to be careful with the official Lollipop (which has been pulled off the shelf by Google). Lots have found out the hard way how it might brick your tab without warning. Use one of those custom roms (Clean Rom 5.1 or CM12) that is Lollipop-based instead.

OTG also is not working, so I think it's safe to assume that its broken. I tried flashify to flash the stock recovery instead of TWRP, but after that I have got nothing, no TWRP no stock recovery. Whenever I try to start recovery it shows a dead android bot with "No command" written over it, and OTA update is giving some kind of error. I am not sure what to do next. All I can do is transfer as much files as I need to my Nexus 7 over wi-fi.
Any help please..... I just want to flash 5.0.2 with broken USB port and apparently no recovery installed.
You could try the nexus root toolkit:

My nexus 7's USB port is broken, so I doubt that its going to help.
Hi to all devs and gurus,
I am new to this forum but not to DIY (and messing things up).
I have Cyanogenmod 12.1 on my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi.
I've installed my N7 in my car dash and it is working fine except for GPS (Use N7 for navigation was the main reason behind my install). I've tried this kernel but with no luck to fix GPS issue.
I have gone through so many posts here and found out Cyanogenmod is not worrying about fixing the GPS issue. And for this reason I want to go back to stock android so that I can use GPS in my N7.
I have little problem here. Becasue the way N7 fits in my car, I had to change the USB port end from bottom to side (by opening back cover and bending the joints of charging port, I know its stupid mistake). And in doing so I screwed up royally and left with broken USB port. Now charging using wireless charger.
So long story short, how can I can get stock android without using computer (or before that if anybody knows the fix for GPS issue, I want to give it a try)
Thank a lot in advance.
Assuming you have some kind of network connectivity, Just download the image to your device. If you prefer to download from a PC, transfer it by using a cloud storage solution like Dropbox. The free version will have enough storage for a custom ROM.

Thanks @ezas, I have few more questions.
So can I download the 5.1.1 image from developers.google.com page which is a .tgz file and push to tablet and use TWRP to flash? Or do I need to extract this .tgz file and push only some of the files and flash? I am sorry but this is the part where I get confused.
Please, anyone know how should I do that...
Just grab the stock rooted ROM from scrosler in this thread and flash it from recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/development/rom-stock-rooted-5-1-1-lmy47v-root-t3098137
Also grab the bootloader 4.05 zip file to upgrade your bootloader to the latest if needed.
