USB acting weird since the update.

When I connect my phone to the pc, I get no USB notification, and it doesn't charge while connected to the PC.
However, my tethering working which tells me that the USB cable is working....This happened after the CRC1 update. (I have wiped, but its still doing it)

Have you tried seeing if usb debugging is checked? Settings-->applications-->development. If all else fails try uninstalling and reinstalling the usb mass storage devicee.

What a horrible update.. in on thread to see if you find a fix for this

are you trying to use the android in usb mode? ive had a few times when my android isnt showing up so i go to the device manager and under usb i uninstalled the drivers for the mass stoage device, unplug my phone, replug it back in and let the computer install the drivers.

Just FYI, if your phone is rooted, you should NOT install OTA.... OTA's from T-Mo are disabled for a reason. You may have to go back down to RC29 if wipe, nandroid restore, or flashing don't work

Does anyone know how to block the ota thing fom continually popping up?

Yea, the weird part is that every now and then, I will get the my notification that its connected, and it will go away in 5-10 seconds...the debugging is checked. The notification is very random, however my phones tethering is still working great. Its very odd...I've tried 3 different USB cables and all 4 of my USB ports on my PC.

Wow...apparently it was a horrible coincidence, and I had 2 bad usb cables. I bought one home from my dads house, and it worked again....very strange.

[Q] Phone no longer detected by any PC a week after factory image flash

I used the Nexus Root toolkit to flash the latest factory image onto my Nexus 6 but chose not to wipe the data as I've done in the past (as I was rooted, and wanted to flash the security update). In the past, this has worked fine with no issues. I re-rooted using the Toolkit (it flashed Chainfire's Systemless Root as it has done before) afterwords.
After flashing the latest factory image (6.0.1 - keeping data as I have before), the Feb 2016 security patch was applied (according to the settings) and my phone was detected by the toolkit just fine right after (nothing wrong here. It seemed to work just as it has before in the past when I've done this).
A week later however (phone has not been plugged into any PC since), I tried plugging my phone back into my PC and it is no longer detected at all. It no longer appears in explorer OR device manager. I've tried it on multiple PCs, my laptop (both running windows 10 with the Google drivers installed) and even a couple of linux boxes (Mint 17.3 and CentOS - the latter was a Uni PC with the Android SDK) and none of them detect the phone, and the phone just charges from the connection instead.
I've tried:
- 5 different cables (including the one Motorola provided in the box, which I generally just used to charge the phone). Each cable worked fine with my brother's Nexus 4 (detected in ADB etc).
- Uninstalling the drivers via USBDeview (and re-installing them - as the phone doesn't appear in Device Manager, I had to use USBDeview to get rid of the drivers in the first place).
- Unticking USB debugging and re-enabling it.
- Forcing MTP in the storage settings (no 'PC connection' option in the overflow menu in Storage options) but whenever I try and force it to use MTP, it just resets the option back to 'charging' or occasionally it'll set it to MTP but will remain charging (I had to use the storage options under Developer Options to see the MTP setting).
- I've also followed the Driver Configuration guide from the Nexus Toolkit and same behaviour as before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've already 'been around the block' with other potential fixes and none of them have worked so far.
What's really weird is, it only just started happening but was fine immediatly after the factory image flash which leads me to believe if it were an OS problem, would it not have started happening immediatly after the flash and not left it until now?

So when you plug the phone in, you don't get anything in the status bar saying that it is charging only or that it is connected? When I connect my device, it defaults to Charging Only and a swipe down of the status bar I press to change it to MTP.

Nothing in the status bar. The only difference I see when I plug my phone in is the battery charging icon. It's acting like I've just plugged it into the charger, and not the PC.

Thanks for replying . It's fine. It's a really weird issue, especially since not even device manager detects it (most of the "phone not detected" threads I've found, it's at least in device manager but I haven't even got that - but I did before, which makes it so much harder to debug).

I've tried connecting to it via my laptop as well (also running windows 10 with the drivers) and 2 linux boxes (which should mount it like a drive regardless of the drivers) but it's not even doing that - which is what makes this so strange.
I cleaned out the port in the hope it would be a physical connection issue (a lot of lint in there - although the same amount as before when it worked fine) and I noticed a shiny green piece (almost like a piece of green glitter) on the second from the left pin (if the phone is facing upright) but it doesn't seem to want to come out if I use a pin or something to get rid of it (thinking a possible physical pin connection block. Possible corrosion?).
I was thinking of factory resetting it (it might be a software issue. I don't really know but I'm grasping at straws at this point) but if the phone doesn't connect up to the PC after that - well, I'm at a loss as I won't be able to re-root it etc.

Try this, manually restart the phone in bootloader mode and try connecting the phone WHILE on bootloader.

I've tried that before and it isn't detected by either ADB or device manager.
The bootloader just says "Connect USB Data Cable" and "Battery OK (Charging)" if connected. This case on both the laptop and desktop.
This is using the cable Motorola included in the box (which has worked in the past).

Nothing in the status bar

It's fine. Already tried and nothing. The phone is just acting like it's been plugged into a charger and not the PC, so the notification shade doesn't change, neither does the storage options (no "PC connection" under the overflow menu).

Would it be worth replacing the entire port altogether? It doesn't look to be a software issue as it's not even recognised when in the bootloader.
Running out of options here...

Have you tried factory data reset? I know you'll loose your info. But it sounds like it's software related. I had this issue before and factory data reset fixed it. You can use airdroid or something similar to transfer your information. Also you should try to use a OTG cable and see if it will mount.
If you can mount something via OTG then it's not broken, as it uses the same pins.

Tried the factory reset route and it didn't work (and I've lost my Root). Since I had to use a custom kernel to prevent the "this device has been tampered with!" error (SafetyNet I think it's called) when rooting it, I can't apply OTA updates in it's current state either. It's a horrible middle of the road position to be in (no root and no ability to apply OTA updates).
I'll try the OTG method if I can find a cable for it. Am I right in saying, if I plug in a USB stick or something via OTG to the phone - it'll mount it like it would on a PC (drop down option in the notification shade etc)?

That is right will mount as long as you have android m. Otherwise you'll have to download an app with root to mount.

MTP Dosent Work ON PC, Charge Only is always on.

For a few days now, after connecting my usb cable to the pc, i get the "connect" sound on both the PC and the Phone, but it keeps going to charge only, not MTP. I checked the Dev Options, set it to MTP, still didnt work.
I also did a factory reset, nothing. Any ideas?
Also, the notification popup for choosing the connection type via USB, no longer shows up.
EDIT: I tried multiple cables, they are not the problem.

Again, all of the USUAL stuff I've tried. One thing i have noticed, under the options where i chose what type of connection i want to have, if i change it from one to another, it dosen't update right away, i have to close the options, and reopen them to see it change.

Considering you tried the usual software stuff and that you've tried multiple cables, it may be your phone's port that's damaged or something.
If you don't have any sensible data on the phone I suggest doing a factory reset, just to discard the possibility. But if that seems like too much hassle, I would get an ftp app on the playstore to do all the data transferring between your phone and any windows machine. I personally use the solid explorer plugin.
Hope I helped!

You said you've already performed a factory reset, tried cables, tried reinstalling drivers cleanly, and tried several settings on the phone.
Have you gotten HiSuite installed? If so, does HiSuite recognize your phone at all?
Have you also tried different computers? I would figure you did since you said you tried all the obvious things....
If HiSuite gives no response at all and you've already factory reset before, I feel as though its either a hardware problem like FAFI_1999 has suggested, or it is a very deep rooted software bug (behind repair for a regular user, maybe even in kernel, plus there is no clear way of knowing where the exact problem lies at this point so we wouldn't know where to look in the first place).
In this case, best advice I could give you is to send your phone to a service center.... At least if it still falls under warranty....

Does adb see your phone?

For me it always goes to charge only and I have to manually check (or uncheck and recheck) the Files option in the notifications.

Maybe the problem is an update KB that was installed on your PC. 3 months ago, Microsoft releasead a KB update that broke MTP ( https://betanews.com/2017/03/10/microsoft-admits-mistake-pulls-problematic-windows-10-driver/ ). Read the article and do what it's recommended for your windows version.
good luck. V

If that KB update is installed, at every reinstall of USB driver its gonna install the wrong one. I had the issue on my laptop and had to uninstall the kb and then plug again the phone in to reinstall the correct usb driver.
If the bug is caused by windows, even if you don't know how it's possible, you should try to repair windows by refresh. It's a long shot, but i had a similar problem, i could not use PPPoE service because my friend unwillingly did something wrong on his laptop. I had to refresh windows to repair the network card driver and finally configure PPPoE service on his laptop.
So... refresh?

How to set MPT as default for USB PC connection?

Hi everyone,
Loving my 3T, which is stock 4.16, rooted with Magisk, and has TWRP recovery. ADB debugging is enabled in settings.
One thing I noticed that I want to change is that when I plug it into my PC, the USB defaults to "Charge Only" and I have to go into the USB connection settings and switch it to MTP mode. I haven't noticed a way to set MTP mode to be the default behavior. When I plug into the PC it is always to transfer files so I want to set this as the default.
My previous phones remembered the last behavior chosen, I think.
What's the process to choose default USB behavior for the 3T?
Thanks

I think I found it. In developer options, Select USB configuration. I will test when I get home but I was able to change it from charge to MTP.

Tonight I will try it out. I figured I would need to unlock the phone (via fingerprint in my case) but would prefer not to have to poke around in settings each time. I think it is sorted with the change in Dev options. Soon I will know for sure.

For me it seems to work. I'm at work and my work computer is blocked for lots of things, so if it had failed it could be a false negative (hence my plan to try this at home). But, I plugged in my phone to the work computer, and it popped up the directory no problem, as long as the phone was unlocked.
This was a big change from before where I had to first unlock, then get to the menu and change from charge only to file transfer mode.
I will also test at home and see if it works normally there too, but it seems changing this developer setting works at least for me.

Interesting. I tested this repeatedly on my work laptop, and it worked fine (Windows 7), defaulting to MTP as long as the screen is unlocked.
Here at my home computer (also windows 7), it reverts to charging unless I use the pulldown menu to set it to MTP.
The only difference I can think of is the "driver installation" on the laptop failed. But, connectivity was fine.

Maybe this is because of different (newer) Android? Mine on Marshmallow doesn't remember the setting, regardless if the device is unlocked, hmm

hello, ive drop my phone the other day and i cant see nothing on the screen. Is there a way to backup my date before sending it to repair. Ive tried using a otg mouse but doesent work. Was looking online for some mirroring app but nothing works, im sure ive got developer mode on. Just order a mhl to hdmi to see if it works. is there anyone that can guide me in the right direction so after connecting my phone can acces huawei backup or other app. thnks in advance

What happens if you connect to HiSuite? If only screen is broken you should be able to copy your data !

is the touch function still working ?
if yes, just unlock it using face unlock or fingerprint,
plug to pc, and tap around the area where you normally tap "Transfer Files" upon plugging to PC,
hopefully you managed to tap it on the right place,
once it detected by the PC, just do adb pull comand from adb to manually backup data or even whole media
