[Q] USB connection problem - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I need some help because I have a problem with my xperia Z1... My device doesn't want to connect to my computer through the USB cable... I've tried everything I knew, I've unchecked and rechecked USB debugging, I've tried to reflash the rom, I've tried reboot both of my computer and my phone, I've tried to switch between multiple USB cables and computers and it still does not work.
When I plug my phone in the USB port of my computer, there is some kind of loop : it connects and deconnects several time until I unplug it. Charging seems working fine and I have no clue of what's happening... I need help !
Device infos :
Xperia z1 c6903, locked bootloader, running android 4.4 kitkat on .757 firmware with the MonXdified rom, 32GB sd card, 16GB internal storage.
Help me please !
PS: Sorry for my english but I am french.

Did you install correct z1 driver?
Or try with another usb cable

You aren't mention what version of MS Wind0w$ you're using, and what ROM you used on your phone.

And same as mgregor, don't use front panel to connect USB.
Used drivers must be obsolete. Use 3.2.1 or 3.5 and be sure android platform modem is activated to be recognized by b2c
Try LG United Mobile Driver, there is a link on knzo's CWM recovery thread. And yes try a direct port on motherboard behind your cpu case.
Also try another usb cable.

at this problem.... in my opinion is to check your usb cable or the usb port of your mobile...
if you cannot open the mobile,you can go to a mobile technician and tell him to resolder the usb port of your LG optimus....
My pc is a notebook.
Firstly thanks a lot.

It seems a bit risky my friend... I don't know what to do. Can I root my device without connecting to pc?? I want nova. Previously I rooted my wildfire with CM7. It was very different!
Be sure platform modem is activated in peripherals manager. This is what makes the phone being recognized by pc suite and b2c

It is activated but when I try to update driver it can not find any. Which driver should I use at that point? Maybe there is a problem in the connection point on the phone?? I am not use about taking my optimus to a mechanic.
Do you have another computer to test? Perhaps the problem was related to your Wind0w$ system...

Use WiFi, open forum and search GingerBreak, download and install it.
If your ROM are V10A, then it should work..
CMIIW.

I tried to connect my phone to an other XP result is the same "USB device not recognized". I tried Windows 7, Windows 7 did not even pop-up! Nothing happened! Only my phone was charging.
I am looking for gingerbreak but this problem is very annoying for transfering files. Each time I have to remove the SD card... Or myphoneexplorer(connected by wireless)...
Any advice?
Hi guys,
I finally managed to connect my phone to my pc. The problem was about the cables that I tried. Another original lg cable solved my problem.
But now I have an other problem. The brightness of my screen. It is usually at the minimum brightness and I can't change it. It does not change anything when I change the brightness settings. I tried other firmwares from http://luivit.altervista.org/firmwareP970/index.php but did not work still the same!
Help please...

USB mass storage problem

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Note.
When I plug my phone to my computer, it doesn't recognize but it charged.
I have also install some applications like usb switcher, but it doesn't work anymore.
I have flashed some ROM too but it's the same problem.
I have changed my USB cable too.
I hope that it's not a hardware problem ...
If a someone have any solutions, help me please.
Thanks.
And sorry for my bad english I'm French.
Sounds like a driver issue.
Enable usb debuggin and reconnect.
If youre on a stock rom try changing from mtp to ...the other option.

Hmm i saw your post on ~dev. [rom] jellybeer.
I flashed the same rom [most recent one]

[Q] Rooting w/o USB connection

Hi, guys! I have a really big problem :/. Right now I'm using the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread from LG ,but you all know that this is the worst OS ever. I wanted to get rid of it but i cant connect my device to the computer. It's only charging. I need a way to root it w/o usb connection. Do u have any suggestions? It's not a software problem! Something inside the phone is broken and i don't know what it is. Is there a way to root it via bluetooth or SD card? I didn't find any apps to root it too. I know gingerbreak etc, but they dont work for 2.3.4. Thank you in advance and i hope there is a solution. :fingers-crossed:
I am afraid you can't. Replacing your micro usb port could solve your problem. I reccomend to buy a micro usb port which is already on the flexible cable so you can avoid ironing.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
So i'll need this? I asked a staff member in a service station and he said that the port isnt broken. So i need the whole thing port+flexible cable? Is that what i should do? Thanks alot. Ohh man i cant post links still: http:___//i.ebayimg.com/t/LG-G2X-Optimus-2X-P990-P999-Micro-USB-Charging-Port-Flex-Cable-Repair-Part-/00/s/OTU1WDE0MDI=/z/unUAAOxy9DRSAoTf/$T2eC16R,!wsE9suwycosBS!oTe7+VQ~~60_57.JPG
stupid question: did you try another usb cable or usb port?
Yeah, dude. Of course. I've tried different settings like usb debugging on/off too but still nothing.
here are some articles you might want to check out regarding usb connection

i forgot how the mass storage settings in gingerbread look like but there should be an option to put the phone in "charge only" mode (which you should disable)... pressing menu key in settings > storage doesn't give you any options to choose?
In gingerbread you can only turn usb mass storage and usb debugging on/off. These settings didn't help. I'll read more about the first link you gave me and try it out.

This is quite challenge, root without usb connection. First idea I got to use ADB over WiFi, but this is available from ICS, not on GB.
Second idea - what I remember, some of root methods use APK installation over ADB by script. Maybe you can search for these script methods and place all required files on SD Card. Then try to execute commands by terminal on device itself to install and root.
It's just my idea, maybe wrong, maybe help.

Yes that is what you need if you have to replace your USB port but you don't have skills to replace only the usb port.
You can try gingerbreak to root your phone, but it maybe won't work.

I'm not aware of ADB and scripting. Can you give me sоme guidelines?(I'm sorry 'bout my english. I hope you understand)
p.s. I found some info about ADB. So you need ADB to control your device via commands, but you can use ADB on your computer? You say that i have to find a way to use ADB on my phone so it controls itself and roots?

sorry to hear about your problems but just a simple question here have u tried another computer ? i had this problem with my nexus when i connect it to the pc i couldn't transfer my stuff to it but adb worked, but when i took it to another computer both mtp and adb worked
Yes, I've tried another pc's port and it didnt find my device too. My issue isn't the same i mean that my computer doesn' recognize the phone. There are no messeges that appear on the device or computer.

Guys, the problem is not in the computer nor in the cable, it's in the phone. I'm 99% sure that it's a hardware problem. So i need to find a way to root or flash it without using usb connection.
i'm somehow sure that the real problem here is the device driver installation on your PC/Windows, not the phone...
btw which windows version are you using?
did you try checking out the AIO tool thread?

if you read the 1st post, you might find out how could it help you... especially if you use win 8 which caused problems for many other users when trying to install the drivers or trying to flash the phone...
I - Install APX (NVFlash Recovery) Drivers if not already installed.
It starts the windows device driver wizard to help you install the drivers needed for NVFlash. It detects your system OS and gives additional on-screen instructions needed if your PC is running Windows 8.
FYI: The drivers are located under ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver folder.

I use windows 8 from a week. Anything i've done before was on a xp/ win 7. The problem isnt in the win 8 i use now. I've tried everything on my xp laptop. I have a friend who has the same phone and he can connect it to his computer so everything is fine with his computer. I've tried to connect my optimus to his computer and again it wasnt found by the computer. The problem must be in my device.
I'll try installing the APX drivers.

Please Read the 3rd line of my post. I have said already "I have also tried formatting my le 2 and my pc but still the same"
And also as i know about these things being a developer myself and having rooted and developed some things for some few phones before, i have also tried uninstalling the drivers completely also tried installing other drivers which i find compatible. But still the Same Problem....
Can you please do 1 thing, can you use a tool named DrvBk and backup your le 2 related drivers? And then give it to me so i can try installing that...
It will be very helpful of you.
Thanks in advance.

I dont think its the driver problem. The might be the USB code running on the phone is failing. I was unable to find driver(INF file with VID and PID) for LEECO Le 2(You can find PID/VID using USBVIEW). Suggest to use AIRDROID or SHAREIT that is if your WIFI is working Or USB OTG(I thing you have thought this).

Yes but im just confused about 1 thing i even did factory reset and even full wipe and flash on my le2 and also usb works well in fastboot mode. So i can't figure out what's the problem.....
And also i would have got the driver INF file
But the phone is just giving no driver to my pc
And pc says device descriptor request failed. So means pc can't even identify phone. so how can i get the pid or vid cause i dont even have any drivers....
And share it or airdroid wont work for me as my pc doesn't have a wifi card
So rerouting file thru my modem would be very slow for transferring file of more than 10 gb size. So it would take hours maybe for that
So only solution i have now if usb not solved is to buy a new usb otg cable as my old one got ripped. So if i dont get any solution within a few days, then thats my only option :crying:

In that case try manually reinstalling the OS back onto your device. As there is a chance that something went wrong with the rooting process.
