First off i rooted my phone and had a custom stripped official OS loaded. Worked fine.
After about 8 months my USB had charging issies (had to wiggle cord to make it work) eventually it quit all together. I had the USB port repaired by a tech. My charging works now. BUT Ive had random issues with the phone so one day i decided to update to the official software, and didnt want to bother with custom OS's anymore. I plugged my cable in the computer to use Odin and flash an official T-Mobile OS so then it would overwrite the rooting and get me back to where i could update OTA in the future.
Well, the USB no longer connects to computer. Not by different cables, not to different computers, not by different ports, not by storage mode, not with or without USB debugging, not by uninstalling the USB in the computer for the drivers to reinstall and not even with updated Samsung drivers. It will ONLY charge. NOTHING recognizes it, not Windows 7, XP, Keis, Odin. It doesnt even ding when connected.
So im left without UBS connectivity. I downloaded the newest OS for T-Mobile, put the SD card in my computer and moved the .zip there, then tried using the CWM i had from the custom OS and Root to apply the update via SD .zip file. It wont install it.
[EDIT] One more thing... I can get into recovery mode but NOT into download mode (as the USB wont connect) the phone just vibrates and restarts normal booting.
How can i install firmware without USB/Odin/Keis?
Wifi internet sharing, hotspot, remote desktop, blutooth, sd card? anything?
If you still have a custom recovery, should be able to just grab one of the stock firmwares that are put into a cwm package and be good to go. Often people stick them up here when released so others can get them too.

hello,
my note 2 doesn't turn on. it still remains in the display with samsung logo. i can't enter in recovery, but only in download mode. i tried to reflash the twrp with odin, but odin doesn't recognize the smartphone.
how can i solve?
thank you
Did Odin recognise the phone before?
Unfortunately I've been there, Odin won't recognise the note 2 nether will the PC, there is a problem in the USB socket that comes with the phone that makes the phone unable to be recognized by the PC unless you use the Cable that came with the phone and not always, so you have two options now:
1-keep trying any cable you find, even if it was a camera cable or other devices, or try to find the original note 2 cable.
2-or change the USB socket in your phone with a normal one and you will be able to make it recognized by the PC.
I always hated that issue ?
If you could solve it in another way, then tell me..
Regards Migo
@audit13 no @MigO thanks, i will try with another cable, but i don't have original cable
Also try all usb 2.0 ports and make sure drivers are installed properly.
my a2 lite does not connet to my pc, I have installed drivers, put it on usb debug, but my pc does not recognize de phone, I have tried different usb ports and cables with no success, it does charge eventually with some cables, but I don't know if this is hardware problem or there is any setting I am missing, it does not give me any choice of chosing the usb kind of conection
it is a new phone just prepped for everyday use, not hacked or modded in any way
USB OTG is working but only reading, I cannot write in external usb drive with es file explorer, or the includer file aplication, it says unsupported operation
any help?
Set hardware id in the adb_usb.ini file perhaps

thank you, but I cannot acces from adb as there is absolutely no conection from my computer, it only starts charging but as if it were just a charger, there is no usb mode options avalaible y my phone, and the pc does not recognize anything conected
I have tried to connect with another computer with the same results, it only gets power, but no data comunication whatsoever
as nobody gives any clue or info about some hidden setting, I must assume this is another case of bad quality control in xiaomi products, I will check with the seller
Did you specifically set file transfer mode via the notification drawer or left it on charge only?

the phone does not detect either that it is connected to a computer, so the notification to select the mode of connection does not even show
I have tried usb otg and I can read fine but I cannot write at all in a pendrive
I have installed also an sd card as internal memory and have storage errors all the time so I have removed it
I have tried also conection in fastboot mode but the computer still does not recognize anything connected
I have uses several cables, usb ports and even 2 different pc with same results
My only guess is that there were some hidden config setting that is messing with the phone, that's the reason I am asking before going to the seller.
Seems like a broken USB pin then

an usb pin should not affect internal sd memory, and usb does not work like water pipes, one pin data in one pin data out, they need both data pins for reading also, so as it can read from pendrive the problem is somewhere else, not in the connector.
This could be a hardware problem. Have you tried to connect it to another computer?
I have already tried on 3 diferent computers with same results. The only diference so far is that it actually does not read either the content of a pendrive connected through OTG, the first day it read it, now it only detects but reads nothing.
Also when sd is configured as internal memory, instead of reading internal memory, that seems to be the normal result, I can read only the sd card with android file explorers
I have the same problem.
No connection data with pc/mac, it only charges.
I'm italian and like many other italians, I've also the problem with Sim slot 2 with no connect..

It is good to know I am not the only one.
F**k, this phone starts to look like a piece of garbage I dont connect to USB, I dont use SD not 2nd sim, so I did not experience these issues, but, f**k again..
Have you tried rebooting? Press the power button for 15secs. to power it off. Use another cable, use another PC, make sure the cable is plugged in properly... bla bla bla. Oh, have you tried placing the phone into a dry rice bowl? Haha (sorry, I had to). I'm sure you've tried it all.
So, I have not much to say. Only that I had a similar problem with a Moto G after I flashed a LineageOS ROM. It worked fine before, but with the new ROM, the USB didn't work at all (it could only read OTG). It was stuck in the "charging" mode. No notification nor option to turn it to file transfer. The PC didn't recognise it at all, either.
Solution? Initially, I turned on USB debuging option and the PC saw the phone (on windows device manager, it was there, but not on MyPc). It was some advance. I can't remember if adb detected it.
Final solution? Luckily my phone was rooted and had a custom recovery, so I could easily flash the same ROM from the TWRP recovery and everything works fine now.
You might try using Xiaomi's flash tool to try to flash the orginal ROM again IF the phone is recognised by the tool (try if it can see the phone) http://en.miui.com/download-354.html
And I suggest contacting Xiaomi for a warranty claim if needed, 'cause it looks like a harware problem (a pin the the microUSB port issue). But be ready to answer the questions posted above several times haha.
Good luck!

I have done all your sugestions previously, even reseting phone with a new gmail account so no config setting from other phone could interfere, I have also tried fastboot, but although phones goes to fast boot mode the pc does not recognize connection either
it is not an usb pin issue, tried 6 cables, 4 computers, 10 or more usb 2 an 3 ports, I am negotianting in aliexpress a refund, we'll see
If I go into recovery mode with power vol+ a broken android appears.

I don't know if you already did this, but try using a PC with Linux (you can use Ubuntu without installing it on the PC, then install the fastboot package).
Hi,
I had no problem with fastboot and adb with Mac!
Phone recognized by the machine and do transfer boot.img for magisk...
Now I Win!
I can see the internal memory with Android File Transfer (Trasferimento File Android in italian!) - this is the link https://www.android.com/filetransfer/.
My version of Build is V.9.6.8.0.
Solution:
- Connect the phone to pc/mac;
- Go to: Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration -> select first "Charge" and then "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol)
- The system recognize the phone!
[for italian, like me, andare su Impostazioni -> Opzioni Sviluppatore -> Seleziona Configurazione USB -> scegliere "Ricarica" e poi "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol) ]

Where are you from? Where did did you purchase the phone (the actual store, is it in China)? Depending on where are you from and what country did you buy the phone from, by law, you'll get manufacturer warranty. So, any "official" distributor in your country will have to provide a warranty solution for you. If Ali Express is unable to provide you with a solution, look into that.
Let us know how it work out for you

I am from Spain, and the aliexpress seller has store in Spain, but you know how chinese vendors act ... no agreement so far, and now aliexpress decides, whenever they turn back to work, because China as you may know is a whole year vacation place for workers ...
