[Q] No USB-Connection - LG Optimus Black

Hi,
since a week or so i have the problem, that my phone doesn't recognize any connection!
I don't know what happened, but the phone gets energy... (No loading animation and on the lockscreen is still "please connect charger")
So I can't use it on my PC.
I installed the drivers on several different ways on two computers. On the one it should actually work, because it did before.
And i tested different USB-Cables.

Have you changed rom? update to ics? It's typical situation after changing rom from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 without flashinng new ics baseband.
If you didn't change rom it could be hardware related.
maybe give some more details...

oh yes, maybe i did. but i changed from official cm10 to nemesis#1. I recognized the problem there. But maybe before too? Yes, because I think i had to download the rom to a different computer with a sd-cardreader. I remember putting the rom onto the sd-card.
But what should I do with the baseband? Am I able to reflash it now?
Thank you!

Yes, you can reflash it
in N00BYs thread, there are basebands in the bottom of this post and there is link to procedure how to do it:

good luck

thank you!
but can i connect it to the pc? because for example for data transfer i cant...
well... am I able to flash it now on JellyBam or do I have to reflash ICS first?

In my case, after changing baseband, everything works well... includind conecting with pc.
It's no so good that data transfer don't work for you
I don't know if JellyBam is compatible with baseband which you have now, but i think there shouldn't be any problems. You should try. If usb data will work with jellybam, then you know that it was rom related.
edit: one more thing that is weird in 4.0.4: when you connect OB to pc as mass storage, and turn off mass storage in phone (charging only), SDcard will be unavailable, until you pull the cable out. But everything works well, when you use "safe remove usb device" from system.

Get a different cable and connect directly to a USB port on your motherboard, report back what happens.

The phone uses the same chip of flash-memory for it's internal storage as well as the internal sd-card, so it's very unlikely you have a bad flash-memory.
If you have indeed tried with different cables and different ports on different computers the only conclusion possible is that you have a defective device and should get it exchanged.

A-ha. That could very well be the reason. (Either the overclock or the kernel or both.)
Try to run a completely stock kernel and see what happens when you transfer over USB then.

reinstall the drivers... the same happend to me after a windows update.
Just reinstall and it should be fixed
I'm experiencing the following: stock 10D and stock 20L USB Mass storage was fine.
I then installed CWM, wiped, then flashed Modaco fr19 after a full wipe.
When connected, I get two extra drive letters in Windows. Windows disk management sees both cards (internal and real sd) and shows correct sizes, however Windows believes both cards are unformatted.
I then rebooted into CWM, wipe, flash Gr4 with Modaco custom kernel.
Now I again get 2 drive letters, but Windows considers them empty cardreaders, so when I try to explore them, it tells me to insert a card. So somewhat the same but a little different.
I also asked this at the Modaco forum but found this thread here and perhaps you guys here have any suggestions.
From Cwm recovery I can mount the external sd just fine by the way.
Well, I have resolved this issue...
I went somewhere else, to another computer. Connected the phone, installed drivers there and I could access both cards.
After that, I went back to my own computer, connected the phone and it worked again.
Strange, but well, it works

USB-connection (Smartflash, NVFlash, Data-transfer)

Hi,
I've search thru the forums and tried several things, but haven't found a solution.
My problem is that I no longer can make a USB-connection to my O2X.
The only thing that works in the micro-usb is charging. What I tried:
- Smartflash (power-up without battery while holding vol-)
- NVFlash (power-up without battery while holding both vol-buttons)
- Ordinary USB-connection (flash-drive)
- Cleaned it for dust
All of this was done on different windows machins (WinXP and Win7), all USB-ports and different USB-cables (inlcuding one that I know has worked before). Windows don't even show me the device.
The reason why I want to flash is that I think the current baseband (that I flashed) is not the best for my phone. So I want to try another baseband.
Do any of you have a suggestion on how to fix my phone or is the hardware toasted?
Best regards
Anders

Try going to Hardware and Sound and then Devices and Printers in the Control Panel. Maybe it'll show there.

You may try in a virgin PC where no USB drivers have been installed. Best would be format PC reinstalll WIN OS and try NVFLASH or SMARTFLASH after installing LG USB drivers. I have also faced similar problems and solved them in different PCs either friends or office. I somehow feel LGs drivers are badly written and not very smooth functioning. In fact I (and many others) have bricked O2X trying to upgrade to official GB updates by using LG PC suite and drivers.
This is only my suggestion. I did not had to format my PC any point of time. Don't curse me if this fails. This is only one of the trials and errors.
Maybe I should try from a Linux live-cd to check if it's windows or the phone who's acting strangely.

I got the exact same problem and after searching the net there are a lot of people having the same issue too.
Don't want to sound negative but the majority never got it to run again. For some it automagically started working again.
I got it to run only on Stock Froyo, no stock GB and no ICS with all the ICS Kernels available.
The thing which helped me on Froyo was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28985033&postcount=5
Unfortunately CM9 has no secret menu.
I once had it recognized with Jarvis Kernel on Paranoidandroid for a second and had a hotreboot. Then never again.
I'm pretty sure the PC and the LG Drivers make no difference in this case, as I got 5 different PCs running different OS for testing and they never made a difference.

Does the ROM has anything to do with Smartflash- and NVflash-modes? My guess is that they have nothing to do with each other. So my problem should persist even though I try different ROMs. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'll look into the Froyo-topic you linked to.
Strange. Now it suddenly works again. I didn't do anything from the last time. That's odd.
I don't think that the ROM specifically has to do with the problem.
Stock Froyo just happened to be the only ROM where switching USB connection modes made the device seen in device manager on Windows. (Although it required manual .inf driver clickery.)
I'm sure missing USB connectivity affects people in NVFlash as well.
In my case I can't do **** ranging from USB mass storage when booted up, ADB or NVFlash when booting.
However restoring to the Froyo nandroid makes everything working for me again.
oh oh, it looks like the same issue that i had... No PC-connection (Win/Linux) recognized the mobile via USB. No Chance to get it back to work.
I flashed back to stock (very difficult without NVFlash...) and then send it back LG Service for repearing. After three weeks i got it back. They changed the hole mainboard so i got a new IMEI but USB works now again.

Yeah. It stopped working after I booted a couple of times
And it was only semi working, it didn't want to go into Smartflash-mode, only NVFlash and Flash-drive.

Nope, as I'm quite sure that it's not a matter of drivers.
Windows don't even detect the phone. So I think that the phone doesn't present itself.

Since you already tried changing cables, computers, and even windows & Linux, and since it works on and off, You're right - it isn't the rom nor the drivers. it does sound like the hardware is messed up where the cable connects.
Any chance you can get it serviced? Hope your warranty covers it.

Same problem, no solution
Hi,
I seem to have the same sort of problem with my phone.
I used to be able to connect my phone to my computer just fine until I upgraded it to Gingerbread. Or that is at least the last time the USB connection seemed to work.
I have looked all over the internet now to find a solution to the problem but can't find one. Hope you guys could help me on this.
My phone is an LG optimus 2x P990 with a stock ROM gingerbread 2.3.4
LGE Version LGP990-V20r
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
I've tried so far:
- rebooting phone and pc
- factory reset phone
- Use other pc's => didn't work
- Connect a samsung phone to my pc with my LG cable => did work
- uninstall and reinstall all the necessary drivers
- mass storage mode on and off
- Installed android SDK and looked for adb devices, none shown
- phone doesn't show in the computers device manager either
Although when I do connect the phone it starts charging and if I go to the tethering settings it does recognize the fact that it is connected through USB.
So why can't I get my PC to recognize the phone.
I really need it cause I would like to root my phone to install a custom ROM.
I have tried rooting it with Gingerbreak as well, but that doens't seem to work either.
Thanks for the help
I just made a recovery.log in CWM:

[Q] Usb only charges, can it be fix?

Hi there,
I need some help here..my p990 usb only charges when connect to pc or playstation 3. I know it isn't a driver problem because i have already tested other two p990 at my pc and both devices are recognized/usb work.
I've tried smartflash/nvflash but the device can't be recognized by windows..
So, can i assume the usb hardware is dead :crying:? any tip for fixing this matter ?
Thanks in advance,

No. How can i try this?
go to Settings->Storage-> hit the menu button -> USB-Connection(PC) -> choose between the options.
Actually I'm having the same issue. But I'm really sure my USB port is broken.
The device just isn't recognizing that it is being plugged into something.
(And I tried everything anyone ever reccomended on the USB not working matter)
I just use a cardreader to put stuff on my SDcard. I just hope I never have to repair my device via NVFlash. That's impossible now.
Other than that it's not a big deal for non-devs

The same is happening with my p990 to. I can´t connect to pc with pc connection. To transfer data i use the card reader or with airdroid who it make with wifi.
Others users that had this problem they sent the phone in warranty and Lg have changed their mainboards. So if you have warranty go and solve your problem with your LG shop. It´s seems that is not any solution to solve this annoying problem with this bad hardware
Hello, same problem here. Well, "you need to send it to LG".. but there's one problem. I have MIUI and I can't flash back original ROM without nvflash. How to deal with it?
Try this: open LG update tool > options > "?recover (phone)? " > do by imei > enter serial and imei. LG update tool checks baseband for updates, for recovery idk, but I guess recovery cm only needs the numbers entered. Worth a try, and I'd like to know too.... Thanks Ferrum Master, you made me know about this function

I have the same problem. It's not possible to connect to the phone either by LG tool or as mass storage. I've tried different cables, computers and cleaning the connector in the phone without success. I'm running stock GB.
I would really like to root the phone to be able to flash CM10. Is there any way to do this without USB connection?
Edit: I've already tried NVFlash and SuperOneClick

Can't flash, update, add account, connect to computer

So my tab 8.9 has been working flawlessly, with a bit of a anomaly and I factory reset to trying to install a new rom on it.
After a factory reset, I could not do the following:
Can`t install any new apps (The play store is nowhere to be found, only very old market is there which doesn`t work
Can`t update (Computer won`t recognize, yes installed and reinstalled kies, samsung drivers, etc none worked. Tried wifi, changing ip settings, all doesn`t work: It shows up as Modem and I can`t do anything with it)
Can`t add account (After resetting many times, it never asks me to add an account like it normally should, nor can I add them manually. No workaround that worked so far, tried adding via email adding, etc, on setting button add account does nothing)
Can`t flash (Odin, CWM both doesn`t work, Odin says not supported and CWM just crashes before it even starts, Can`t flash via PC as I cannot connect to it)
It CAN connect to wifi, run the old stock browser, and transfer apps apk via USB connect port I have. Thankfully it still works. I connect a thumb drive to the tab and transfer files that way.
So how can I fix this
I would just like to flash ICS of any version OR even just make it work normally via stock update.
On a side note, I`m not sure if all tab does this but mine when I`d try to connect to a wifi at a college, it`d show multiple wifi and won`t connect to any, while my laptop shows just one wifi.

you mentioned that your tab's model is SHW-M305W
so this probably why you can't install any ROM
ammmm you know what I actually installed a stock Samsung P7310 framework on my P7300 through odin
but couldn't install P7320's ROM cuz P7310 is closer to my tab in everything
my point is if you'd like, you should try different ROMs for different models
BUT BE CAREFUL THIS MIGHT BREAK YOUR DEVICE, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE
have you tried to flash this ROM [ROM][ICS][STOCK][P7300/P7310][LQJ/LPV][Deodexed/Odexed] Final Build [14/1/14] D-Host
I'm suggesting it because it doesn't have model check before flashing, so you won't face status 7 while installing

I see!!! Thanks for the best answer ever. Good to know someone knows about this.
I tried to flash that exact one but I couldn't even start because Odin or CWM or PC method doesn't seem to work.
I searched but I couldn't really find a way to flash via just factory reset or from a usb stick.
How could I flash? Odin says unsupported version, telling me to do something I forgot for half an hour and rom manager just crashes on start.
I'll do that as soon as I can find a way to actually flash just via factory reset perhaps.

Uhh, Well I just installed it via rooting and then downloading superuser apk and rom manager apk and then loading it on to USB stick
then I installed the app but it seemed to crash.
It was the latest version of the rom manager or what the quick google search showed me.
I'm starting to think that it must be this SHW model's fault that it's not responsive to any conventional method.
I really would try to flash some other way if you or anyone could tell me how, that'd be excellent because it seems the only methods of flashing new roms on it seems like Odin, CWM, PC.
Thank you as always for even remotely giving any attention at all. I greatly appreciate it and I'd do it for you.

Uhh, Well I just installed it via rooting and then downloading superuser apk and rom manager apk and then loading it on to USB stick

omg I'm so sorry for the late reply and I see that your account is disabled??
Hopefully I can get some response oh man.
I don't know any way to flash, if you could give me a way to flash these ones, I'll try them.
Odin says incompatible and rom manager crashes
If you could link me a way to flash somehow, I'll apply that method with your referred roms
Thanks a LOT

Phone reboots after i just plug in usb or even charger

Hi everyone. i am new here!
I just used odin to get back to stock rom for my captivate, i had [4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[RC2] rom installed before i installed stock rom
everything working fine right now but when i plug my usb into the phone to copy some files it just automatically turns off after 4-5 second and it stays turned off , and when i unplug usb, its automatically turns on again. even when i plug my phone charger, happening same thing. that means i can't even charge my phone! was searching this problem , there are some similar problems but not like this, could not find any solution yet.
- Tried 2 different usb cabels but same thing happening on both.
- I did not drop my phone or something like that.
- battery was working fine. except it loses energy pretty faster, like 1 day.
I installed stock rom because i wanted to fix my IMEI problem and then wanted to go back to Captivating xperia themed rom. now IMEI is fixed but how do i install rom if i can't even use my usb?
Please help!
Thanks.
Never mind. i fixed it by my self. looks like it was my stock rom causing that usb problem. i installed another rom by using "download mode" from odin. now my problem is fixed but my imei is still messed up. hope i will fix that soon too.

You'll have to flash stock 2.3 with Odin to fix your imei.

Yeah i know, that's what i did because of imei but then this problem started what i mentioned. so i went to costom rom again and phone does not reboot anymore but yea imei is still messed up, but i can still receive calls and messages, but "antenna" is on very low, like 1 or 2 lines.

That could be your modem, might need to flash another.
For your imei, try to flash another ROM from stock. Your phone obviously doesn't like the one you're using atm.

Modem is the radio. Just like a kernel, you can flash another that could work better in your area.
