Hey, the other day when i plugged my phone into my friends computer the usb debugging option popped up on my phone. Thinking nothing of it I turnt it off. Bad idea as now after resetting my phone it stays stuck at the white HTC screen because usb debugging is off. I can still access recovery and all that jazz, so is there a way for me to enable it again?
I am currently running version 2.4 of Leedroid and am planning on upgrading to 3.0. Thank you.
Not without booting up the rom. And debugging is only for developement work and for things like rooting and S-Off but other than that, you don't actually need it at all. I don't see why it wouldn't allow you to boot up. Just reflash the rom you have and it should fix your problem.
I searched the Leedroid rom thread and somebody had the same problem as me. Lee said "did you disable usb debugging?" So, yes I would assume that this is the problem as the maker of the rom has said that.
It would seem I am stuck then.. Will I restore my backup?
Have a look into the leedroid-thread. The changelog says, that the debugging-issue is fixed.
I'd try to flash the new version via recovery, maybe that's the solution.
There still Sommer people having trouble with the debugging mode.
Normally you did a nand backup, don't you?! Try Young restore it, activate usb debugging if it is Notruf enabled already André reflash the new rom.
Ines the changelog where some infos about the debugging mode?

Hi there! First of all I don't speak english very well.
My Galaxy Nexus hard bricked yesterday.
tl;dr no boot animation, no recovery mode, no download mode, no response from computer.
I thought it had just a low battery level, I found it turned off. So I tried to recharge it but it gave no signals, no battery icon, nothing.
After an all night long recharge I tried to turn it on, to enter in download mode or in recovery mode but nothing works. I also tried to connect it with my computer with and without battery, no response, no "OMAP" device found, no sound from Windows for plugging it in, nothing.
I found this thread here in xda, many people has been redirected to it and found their solution to the brick problem.
I tried to follow all the steps but when I plug in the phone and start the .bat file nothing happens, just stuck on "Waiting for device".
The phone is unlocked and rooted. I'm running AOKP JB-MR1 Build 2 and Franco Kernel for a month, never had problems with them, never installed other ROMs after that.
What should I do now? Should I try to do something or just bring it to a support center? The phone is still in warranty, there would be any problem because it has a non-stock ROM?
I've red about a jig to force the Odin mode, should I buy it? (I found this one)
Thanks for the help.
Have you tried booting into Odin mode

Yes, it doesn't work.
have you your warranty on it?
return it and get a new one
It's hard bricked and a JTAG unit may force it into download mode, if you send it in for warranty, chances are it won't be accepted as it was obviously tampered with and they would find out that your bootloader is unlocked and charge you more money than the device is actually worth to fix it.
I don't understand how it could of bricked if nothing has changed on the phone for a month or longer. Nothing was flashed recently so how can you hard brick the phone?

Yeah, that's why I'm not sure to send it in for warranty. So have I to try with a JTAG first?

I'm not understanding that too, I don't know what happened. Suddendly it stopped working. Maybe is just a battery problem, I'll try to use another one before bringing it to the shop where I bought it.
same happened to me, but I have an untouched phone with stock android. it worked well for over an year until today.
I see a lot of people having same issue, but they say that when connected to PC over USB the phone is recognized as OMAP.
for me the PC doesn't do anything...
any help? thanks

so right after I wrote that I plugged my phone into USB of my PC without battery. when I inserted the battery it started showing me the battery sign and I could started the phone. 3 minutes later it went black again, but the trick didnt work again.
any ideas? thanks
Try This !!
Arrange a 4 ohm resistor and try to attach it in ur usb plug port of phone ..it 'll force the phon eto go in download mode or say Fastboot mode.
then follow a tutorial to flash any rom..
its quite easy else ping me !!

Please could you explain a bit more how to go about this? I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus in a somewhat similar condition. This one is recognised as an OMAP 4430 device. I downloaded OMAP Flasher, installed drivers and tried to bring it back to life but after running the batch file I get this error: Operation FAILED (Remote: : Driver init error 0x00FF8080 - MMC CONFIG FAILURE). Can the resistor trick work on this and if yes, how can I go about it? I am not faint-hearted; I think I can handle it if given the right instructions.
After I tried everything i could from the internet, I went to a shop and tested to see if the USB is broken - and indeed it was. I replaced the USB component of the phone and after that it started.
Thanks guys

Yeah, the faulty USB port is a very common issue.
Hi all,
Trying to unlock the bootloader. I'm a bit of a noob regarding bootloader. I got it as far as rebooting into bootloader using command prompt. But as soon as the phone gets there it seems to hang. I will no longer get a response via command prompt (just telling me its waiting for device) and the device itself gets unresponsive. The hold 10 seconds to power down thing doesn't work either. I have to physically remove the battery for it to turn off.
Can anyone help me along? Cause I'd really like to root my phone.
Thank you
Roflmao. Guessing you haven't read any threads regarding root

Sadly unless you have the h815 version you are NOT going to get any further than what you are getting (at least at this point in time). The ONLY version of the G4 that has root right now is the h815 and that is simply because LG released the bootloader unlock via their page.
It is being worked on but you have to remember that this is a very new device and this is going to take some time, so just relax and play the waiting game with the rest of us in the mean time.
Yeah I have read the thread about rooting and I in fact do have the h815. That's why I am trying to root it and that's why I am busy trying to unlock the bootloader with the LG unlock tool. I said I'm a noob, not a dumbass regarding unlocking a bootloader cause before I had a samsung and I never needed to unlock that.
So once again my question stands why is my device getting unresponsive once it is succesfully been rebooted into bootloader via command prompt?
Thank you

Have you enabled the OEM Bootloader In Dev Options? Who is your provider as some of them will force lock the bootloader and not allow it to be unlocked unless you take it to a phone shop but you will void both LG's and Their Warranty and any support from them
Also when you are on bootloader screen with few lines with very litle fonts, try to make sure that in your Windows devices manager, your phone is corectly listed.
For some reason it did happend to me that drivers for the phone in bootloader mode wasn't properly installed.

When I go into bootloader my PC does make that sound where it's like I disconnected a USB device. But as far as I can tell there's nothing unusual going in Windows device manager. Which drivers have you installed? I installed the pc drivers via my phone. And I saw adb drivers in there when it got installed. I thought that would suffice.
But it also freezes up. I can't close the phone anymore even with the 10-second power hold. It just locks up
Im having the exact same problem did everything right but as soon as i enter bootloading mode my pc just doesnt reconize it anymore or something

I had exactly the same problem with the same model. When the device is in fastboot mode and not responding open up devices and printers. For me it was now showing as android instead of G4 and the USB disconnect sound means you dont have to correct drivers even if you installed the LG drivers.
For me the fix was going to windows updater and allow it to update drivers. Now right click the android device and trouble run it. It updated the drivers for me
and I was able to run the command to get the device-id.
Hope it helps

Hi all,
After reading many posts i got a little confused and i'm not getting any result. Please help.
What i want?: Flash stock rom and later consider rooting, and flashing haden or lineagos. (already found guidance but..)
The issue?: It doesn't get recognized through USB with my PC. (drivers installed, cable connected but...)
My questions? (correct me if wished):
1) In Odin mode (which i enter) is the usb port enabled by default? or it depends on the phone configuration.
2) In recovery mode i still cannot see the phone through the USB so is it open by default on stock recovery?
3) Finally can i flash stock rom i downloaded from sammobile through SD card? i found that to be my last resort but i think odin actual proper way or not?
I first thought it was the cable...since is not the original but it seems not be the case...which leads me to think its the phone's usb port....but with the cable i can charge the phone although i cannot see it through my PC.
So bottom line if the answer to my questions are that is always open (accesible through usb port) then it HAS to be the cable right?
If last quesiton is possible then i will conclude my searchings to be ended for now.
Thanks to all the posts within this tree.

Is it normal that when boot to bootloader from stock recovery the ADB console keeps <waiting for device> while phone actually boots normaly?
I found that bootloader booting is accesible through fastboot independently from USB debugging option...
I'm considering buying official usb cable but store guy confirmed it works for data/power uses...
There definitely is a way to flash stock via TWRP, i once did that myself. However you need a dedicated tool on the PC to create a flashable zip, because the firmware can't be flashed by itself
Edit: i saw that you have FRP-lock enabled. Search for a guide on how to disable it and try again

Are you on Samsung? If so, they don't have fastboot. Nor can you boot to bootloader. Do
Do you have the drivers installed? I have yet to see an unofficial cable not work for data transfer. Excepting damaged ones.

To answer your question yes its SMSUNG. I didn't know about that Thx.
The cable is brand knew but i noticed now that the phone is usable that is claims its on slow charge...may be my PC is quite old now....
Like i said i will try to unlock bootloader and make it accesible to odin to later see what to do.

And to unlock the bootloader, just enable OEM unlock in the dev settings and it's ready to flash twrp. I remember when I got my Samsung and I was trying to fastboot unlock it lol.
Thanks to both of you! I will keep the thread on just in case...anyway may be it helps someone else.

Good luck! Let me know how it went.
So I've got into a big trouble... I wanted to manually update my Pixel 6 Pro to the latest version using an official OTA (since the update wasn't available yet for my country and I wanted to stay up-to-date). It was all fine until it said 74 % done... and the power in my house has completely turned off... The device hasn't given me any error and rebooted, hower it got stuck on a Google logo. I rebooted to the recovery mode how it was suggested and did a clean factory reset, then rebooted again... and nothing changed, only the logo background has changed (white vs black). The BIGGEST problem is, the device OEM is NOT unlocked I tried entering the fastboot mode and flashing the device with a recovery image but it obviously didn't work as it required OEM to be unlocked... I am in a big depression now, somehow I fear that it's not fixable... But if some awesome soul could suggest a way to try out, that would be great! Thanks in advance.
I would try the android flash tool and flash the whole full ROM onto the phone. Expect to lose your data though.

Doesn't your phone have to be unlocked to use the flash tool?
The data is all backed up so it's not a problem to lose it. The problem is actually making the phone to boot past the logo... I will try that Android Flash Tool but I fear that the phone should be unlocked first
Try this tool: https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection
Not sure if its any different to the android flash tool.
As expected, Android Flash Tool requires you to to have the device unlocked. At this point I am out of ideas and is truly disappointed. The tool mentioned above probably works the same way.
Maybe try sideloading OTA again. Are you able to do that?

Oh crap, didn't think about that.
I know not everyone has access to a laptop but if you do always use that over a desktop. In the event of something like this you will have the battery power to carry you through.
I'm sorry this happened to you. The only option may be to send it to Google for repairs.
Sorry for your phone. I experienced this on a nexus 6 that didn't have USB debugging or OEM unlock enabled. I tried sideload, put the update package on the phone storage, try to update with Android recovery. Nothing worked. Stuff happens with phones. I hope you can get a new phone.
God bless.
Sorry to hear this. It seems that I need to open USB debugging option just in case for my Pixel 6, which finally arrived across the ocean after a month.

Since the Repairtool has not been updated for your needs and considering that your device is not unlocked, your only option is to contact Google (/your seller). Maybe they can offer you an updated version of the tool (unlikely) or replace your device.
You just described, btw, my horror scenario when updating the BIOS of my PC. The lights going out, when doing a firmware update o.o
Oh my. I'm so sorry for you to have experienced that.
Ok, so I did a CMOS reset on my main PC, since it also failed to load after the lost power accident. Loaded my PC then just fine and tried connecting the phone again. Got to recovery mode and tried "adb devices" command... and it listed my Pixel device !! I tried the "adb sideload" command but it's stuck at 5% for at least 20-30 mins. The phone's last message is "Verifying update package". Not sure if it's a good sign, but afaik if USB debugging is off etc, you can not use adb commands. What would you guys suggest, try waiting for another 30 mins or unplug the phone, restart PC and try again? I am using USB-A to USB-C cable btw, maybe I could use USB-C to USB-C.

My apologies for asking the obvious - did you select "adb sideload" in the recovery menu ? At least I was blind enough to oversee that I need to select this option first
Can you boot into fastboot from the recovery ? If yes you could also try installing a factory image instead of the update package.... I read you cannot because your device is locked, but you can unlock in fastboot (you can always relock later).... only downside is that this will clear all data on the phone for sure....

I had a similar issue with applying ota updates and have seen quite a few reports of users having trouble. Not sure what the deal is, but for some reason this phone seems super finicky with updates. Are you still in the return window? You may want to reach out to Google support or one of their "authorized repair shops".
For me, I ran the flash all bat, rebooted, got a message saying my device can't be trusted. So I rebooted, wiped data, rebooted again and got the same thing. So I rebooted, ran the flash all bat file again, rebooted phone, and screen went black and it never powered on again. Suspect circuit board may have fried some how. Anyways, long story short, contacted Google and had a replacement sent out with minimal hassle.

so you can get through this... you'll be fine. pick adb sideload and it will say waiting, then run the command.
you can also change slots at the bootloader menu or try running the unlock oem command to see if it will allow you to unlock..... not sure if you can change slots without unlocking bootloader. try different USB ports on your computer (and restart your computer just in case) along with using the latest platform tools (adb/fastboot) and USB driver directly from Google (not third party apps or websites.
download the OTA zip again (and just open and close it quickly to verify it isn't corrupt).. and also make sure you have 5-10GB of space free on your computer.
usually the boot slot is changed whenever an OTA is flashed. it will tell you what slot you're in at the bootloader menu (where it says fastboot and device state locked).
can you try holding power button (when it's not plugged in) and as soon as you see then Google logo, hold volume down. that will get you to safe mode. and as quickly as you can, enable "OEM Unlocking" - which will allow you to flash a full factory image.
sorry for this comment being all over the place. if you need help, just reply, and I'll be more methodical next time

I don't think the problem is that his bootloader is locked - it's unlocked, however, they factory reset the device which likely caused USB Debugging to be turned off, as it defaults to after a factory reset.
I'm so glad years ago I swore to use Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) for all the PCs I build for myself or my wife.
