[Q] USB Problem + recovery - LG Optimus 2x

Hi all,
I have a huge problem. I dont have USB mode anymore. When I plug the phone to my PC, it doesnt ask me if I want to connect it as a storage mass. It is only charging; windows doesnt recognize a new device too, so I cant use nvflash.
Besides, I dont have the recovery mode, I cant use it to install an previous rom...
Can you help me please ?

I have the same problem on my G2x after flashing ClockWorkMod...

I had the same problem. I asked the retailer for an exchange. However, just before I returned it, the phone was plugged in to my laptop USB for charging and all of a sudden there was a notification saying that USB was connected. I had done a factory reset before this but it hadn't helped.
You could try enabling Hidden Menus and then in Port Settings try changing from AP USB to CP USB and see if it helps.
Also, try reinstalling the drivers on your computer.

Problem with usb afer flashing JP6

After flashing to JP6 (which works ok) i'm unable to connect thru usb.
Odin wont connect, Kies wont connect, mass storage doesn't work.
I noticed that after the flash, when i connect the wall charger a popup appears asking me how to connect (kies, mass storace, etc).
When i connect the normal usb cable to the phone and computer, nothing happens. It charges, but doesn't connect.
I tried uninstalling and installing kies, reboots, wipe cache, factory resets..
Anyone??

I am definitely not an expert of anykind at all but it sounds like to me that the new software has the mapping for those 2 fuctions backwards.
Dont know if this can be changed by some simple "re-programming" or not but that is waht it sounds like to me.
If Im wrong anyone... Please correct me. I am always looking to learn!!!
You should go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings -> select Ask on connection.
when you connect, does it reboot and loop into a charging mode ie: showing a battery and a "wait" icon?
If so, I had the same issue with my first device within 3 days of using. Only thing I did was rooting and Voodoo fix (i'm not sure if I used the lagfixed for my device or for another one). If you have the same issue, I think you could revert back to stock using an SD card to transfer an update.zip of a stock image, might be worth a try
Guys, thanks for the help. When i woke up today, i gave it another try, and it worked like it should..
Still al little confused though..

[Q] (Q) Hardbricked phone and usb doesnt work

It all started when my phone didnt connect to the pc with my own microusb cable anymore. After lots of reinstalling drivers i tried another usb port, now the phone did connect. In a rush i started up odin to flash standard firmware so i could get my warranty for the usb failure. Then during the flash the phone lost connection again and hardbricked. I can only get it to download mode but the phone has the usb problems mentioned before again, i cant connect to odin/kies/pc. all pc's told me that the usb driver could not be installed
try removing all usb drivers with usbdeview, make sure that KIES aint running in the background, boot phone into downloadmode, connect is and as soon as you'll see the yellow com-port sign; hit start (with the proper .tar files at pda/phone/csc).
only one way to find out =/
Thanks for the help but the problem is that the yellow com-port sign wont come because the device isn't recognized.
You have download mode but no USB .
Remove existing KIES and all USB drivers reboot reinstall KIES and try .
Not work try on a different PC .
But unless you have fixed the initial error you are wasting your time .
Initial Error you said >>>It all started when my phone didnt connect to the pc with my own >>>>> microusb cable <<<<<<<<<<<<< anymore

Tried another cable and another computer, still no connection. I think probably an internal failure in the phones motherboard?

[Q] Unkown device on bricked phone

Hello, my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9003 was working fine yesterday, but now it stays stuck on the samsung logo when booting. I'm trying to flash it, the thing is, I can't get my computer to detect my phone, it shows up as an unkown device. I tried a factory reboot etc.. didn't work, and I can't even use it as a mass storage device since it's bricked. I used all the newest drivers, the newest version of kies but it still doesn't work.
I'm on windows 7/64 bit btw.
Thank you in advance.
Are you able to enter into download mode? (hold volume down + home + power)
If not, You can try to make (or buy) a JIG which will force download mode and you can flash a new ROM with Odin
Regards
I can enter in download mode, the thing is, my computer detects my phone as an "unknown device" and it isn't recognised by Odin either, which means I can't flash it.
are you sure the drivers are installed correctly? I recently had problems with the USB cable.. try another one and if possible, other PC....
I installed many times the drivers, using kies or without kies, the result is just the same, maybe it's the cable.
Try to change the cable and the USB port. Last week I tried to update a Motorola Atrix and the same thing happened, unknown device. Then I changed the USB Cable and voila... worked !
Let me know if it works....
Regards
just wondering if you have resolved this yet ? I have same problem tried all usb drivers i can find , 5 different computers , jig , odin still not detect and windows show unknown device detected.

Guys I had the same problem. After trying many pc, drivers, cables combinations I came to a conclusion that the usb port on the phone itself must be damaged. After taking a close look, I saw some of the gold contacts damaged/missing.. That might be the case with your phone aswell. Look at the pins and if yo usee some visual damage you know what the problem is. Even if you dont see it, it still might be a problem.

Make sure the cable is properly connected. Check for dust that might prevent it going in properly. Try a different cable. What OS are you using? I found where bootloader is dmg or incomplete Windows fails to detect it. Linux on the other hand detects it. Can't use it but you can detect it.
Can you connect to SW Update Mode? Battery out and plug into PC while holding vol up button.
If nothing works try taking it into the shop.

You can root your phone from there. If you have SW Update. I recommend taking it into the shop if you are still under warranty, If you don't have warranty then you can go ahead and root. Just install a patched bin and fls with Smart Flash Tool. It's one of the stickies (How to unbrick, I think)
hi
new to Android nation
I have the same issue when connecting to USB...
And I managed to flash with custom firmware (latest ZEUS version) and I rooted but the issue with USB connection is still there...
Anyway, I wiil try connecting it to Linux to check if that would work with USB connecting
UPDATE:
OK after some digging, I managed to (at least temporally) solve the issue... After fresh installing official 2.3.4 firmware I booted to recovery and from there formatted the system folder and then installed Zeus v7 firmware... anyway, USB connection and charging indicator work fine at first booting to system... As soon as I reboot the OS USB connection (and charging) get unstable, and after third reboot it completely goes away and the device does not recognize anything: if I connect USB cable it does not show any sing (charging indicator does not show battery charging, nor the device offers me to connect in mass storage, windows recognizes only modem but not the USB storage) and when I connect charger, battery indicator does not flash as charging... Battery monitor tool shows that "battery is discharging" even though the battery capacity seems to increase (according to growing percentage of battery capacity)... Is there a some kind of USB server... I am a total noob to Androiid OS (used to be Symibian from its beggining )so I hope you won`t mind if I used wrong terms in my explanation/comment...
I hope my explanation is not confusing
Cheers
UPDATE 2:
After installing Zeus v7.01 update, battery charging recognition got fixed using both USB cable and wall charger...
Anyway, USB recognition by PC problem still exists... But when in recovery mode I can successfully mount SD card to PC in Mass storage mode...
Will keep you updated... :victory:

USB connection dialogue not showing up, unable to connect

I have a very weird issue with my S10: it wont connect via usb to pc. Once connected a notification should display and the option "file transfer" should be there, but no such menu appears. When i plug it in to a pc it just starts charging, the pc also does not see a (bad) usb connection or whatever. I have been reading fora and watching youtube for over 1,5 hours. I feel now is the time to ask for help.
What might be usefull context: i have had the "moisture detected" error many times, it started showing up 2 weeks after i bought the device. Gladly i mainly use wireless charging so effectively it hasnt bothered me much, but it was weird since even after waiting for hours for the phone to dry (i dont think it was wet but whatever) the error was still there. One week ago the problem got quite severe, lasted for more than 24 hours and it just refused to charge, tried rebooting, turning it off, going into safe mode... to no avail. I had no wireless charger then, it was nasty.
I am using the usb cable provided by samsung (but used two others as well).
What i tried:
wiping cache and data from usb settings
wiping cache via recovery
reinstalling samsung drivers to pc
looking for a yellow exclamation mark in device manager on pc (not there)
different usb cables
different pc's
different ports on pc
rebooting the phone
booting in safe mode
installed dex on pc
via developper mode select file transfer as standard
via developper mode select any of the other modes to see if that helps
via developper mode revoked usb debugging authorizations
via developper mode enable usb debugging
The next logical step seems a factory reset. I am unwilling to do that however, since there are many gigs of photo's on the device that i want to backup first (the whole point of trying to connect it via usb heheh).
Your advice please!
Your could try to reflash your present OS via Odin but when doing so remember to use HOME_CSC. This way your data will be present when done flashing and phone reboots.

How he can do the flash with odin when phone is not recognized by the computer !
Clean the charging port with a clean toothbrush and try again ... Also make sure that the charging cable supports data transfer ... If you tried all of these things and did not work, then most likely the charging port has a problem that may be oxidized or cut in the tracks..Try the solution that I gave it to you, and if it doesn't work, take it to a technician
charge from the wall.
I too have a similar predicament. Tried all the cables and USB ports I could get my hands on... I have a custom ROM also, so it could be that. I have done a full format and reflashed ROM (from SD card) - but it made no difference, the phone refuses to communicate via USB.
SO, if you have any solutions, please let me know!
I can however communicate via ADB over network. So, if you know some adb commands you can pull over an entire folder with the "adb pull" command.
