Please can someone help me, I have an LG P970 but the USB port seems to be bricked. The phone charges when connected to the computer but nothing else. When connecting the phone to the computer, the computer does not see the phone and the phone does not come up with any usb connection mode.
For this reason I rooted my phone and updated it to the latest version of Zeus rom, but this didn't fix the problem. The phone still just charges on the computer but that's all it does.
I think the phone USB drivers are faulty or need resetting. Is there any software APK I can download to fix my phone.
Thanks for any help.

lol.Man.You reboot intro recovery -> mount and storage -mount usb(you don't unmount).
You must have the phone conected to pc via usb.Then you will able to acces your sd card
To me it seems more like a driver issue more than your phone usb not working, try installing the latest drivers as DaemonOnx said

The problem is that when I go into '>> mounts and storage' the only option available to me is - unmount. There is no 'mount usb option'
By default I select unmount - to which as you say nothing happens.
Happy to try further options if you have any?

You most likely have problem with your pc LG drivers.
Download drivers by finding the link for LG driver on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
Install the drivers and try connecting and it will work

Hi thanks for this. However, the link to the usb drivers is broken. I have installed the usb drivers from the lg website and I know they work fine because I have now tried connect a friend's LG optimus black to my computer and the computer and phone both recognise each other. So I know it's not the usb cable or usb drivers on the PC. I have also installed the LG usb drivers on my laptop and spare computer, however again I have the same problem - phone only charges.
When this problem initially occured about a year ago I sent the phone back to LG and they did some sort of software refresh, which solved the connection problem for a few months, but then things went back to the way they were. I then thought it may be a PC issue so I downloaded drivers and connected my phone to the laptop and everything worked well. However, again, a few weeks later, things reverted back to the same problem. The phone only charges on both PC and laptop now.
Hope you can understand my frustration.
Someone must know something out there? How do I fix this stupid USB problem?

LG service center? you've pretty much tried all I would've
Last time I took the phone there, I was told it might have been the phone port software corrupted. Whatever that mean. If I can't find a fix to this I will need to somehow unroot the phone and try to get it back in its unrooted state to LG (not sure if that is possible) else they probably won't fix it.
I'll keep looking,
thanks for your help.
You are using the the proper usb cord. I know I have a couple. The one will charge only.
Yes I am using original cables, I have three of them. They all work on my Friend's OB but not on mine. I am convinced it's a phone software issue. This has happened with three different computers - when you first install LG software on the computer, the phone connects okay for a few weeks and then loses connection, and I can never get it connected again.
When LG refreshed the phone software for me the phone worked properly for a little while and then reverted back to charging mode only.
I need a way of reinstalling the USB software or port software onto the phone itself via some type of APK if such a thing exists.
Maybe a developer here can develop one???
hey man
if you have disabled the "android platform usb modem" in peripherals manager, enable it first (phone must be plugged)

this means it must be the result of an intervention by a third party thing, by yourself, or another program. If you have a kind of a software which manages ports or consumption (on phone as well as on Win), uninstall them, then uninstall all LG drivers, reboot, then reinstall them. if that doesn't solve your issue, you may have to reinstall windows. that's radical, but it should do it
Try connecting the usb while doing pressure between the LG logo on screen and the back of the phone, like squeezing something . I had this issue and it was an internal connector issue....
Check if you hear the "tada" sound in windows or any message about a new device.

Hi, thanks for this, I'm not sure what you mean by "disabled the "android platform usb modem" in peripherals manager". I am using XP. I have had a look to see if there is any software remotely associated with port consumption etc and have uninstalled these and also reinstalled LG drivers. But situation is still the same.
Please note: I have an LG GT540 and this connects fine to the computer. I have also connected another LG optimus black and this also connects fine to the computer. On the basis of deduction, it must be a phone issue, somehow interacts with the computer fine and then fails after a little while. Also I haven't installed anything on the phone itself which might manage consumption or port. The computer has a usb host controller but not sure that means anything useful.
I do agree and have feeling that if I reinstall windows I bet the phone would start working again, possibly again for a few months. This means I reinstall windows on my pc and laptop and hope it all resolves without actually getting to the bottom of the problem.
What I need is another laptop to try this on. If I try another computer or laptop and it recognises the phone. What do I make of everything??? Any ideas.
ps also tried holding pinching usb lg cable as suggested but nothing different.
Thanks for all your efforts.
Further update to this, I installed LG drivers on a fresh dell laptop. Again nothing happened, the phone only charges. I am even more convinced that phone software is corrupt. How do I reinitialise phone USB software?? If there is such a thing.

flashing a new rom, i think it may be hardware issue
Hello I have galaxy s1 i9000 and a few months back I rooted it and installed CM10, everything is working fine but just recently I found out that the USB cable is no longer working for data transfer.
Whenever I plug the phone with a computer it just charge (I use the original data cable I got with the device).
On win7 it tells me there is a usb device connected but it fails to install a driver for it, note here that I have used the phone in the same computer before rooting to CM10. I downloaded and reinstaled the samsung driver but nothing changed.
I tried it in my macook as well, OSX 10.9 no love there either, while it worked before the rooting too.
I tried other cables that I confirmed they work with other phones but still no luck.
Any idea on what to do? It is really a pain to move photos from the phone to my pc by sending them with email...
Thanks

Did you enable USB storage on your phone after connected?
Scroll down upper left screen part, (where the Cid's head is watching and says "USB debugging connected")

I;m not sure about where you tell me to go, but I think this is about the USB debugging option?
I have USB debugging enabled in developers options but nothing happens, as a side note if I check in networking options for USB tethering it says USB is not connected.
Also I have changed in storage->USB computer connection to mass storage, MTP and PTP but nothing make any of my computers to see the device.

Look the attachments.
Can't you enable it so? Scroll down upper left corner of the home screen and it should appear: "Touch to copy files from/to...."
If you click that, second menu appears and you turn it on by clicking on the bottom filed.

Yes this is the original and I tried 2 other USB cables, all confirmed to be working with other android phones, as I said this started after the root and the CM 10 installation maybe something is broken deeper than I can go.
Anyway thanks for your time, for the time being the only way I have found to backup my pictures is from kies air, I guess the only option is to try some factory reset sometime.

Try to connect to another USB port, sometimes it helps.
Do you use pawitp's CyanogenMod build or is it modified?
Otherwise, as you have root you can also use app "Samba filesharing" and transfer your files from the phone to the PC via Wi-Fi

I think I got the build directly from cm site, I tried a second pc today still no luck, I used kies and moved the files.
Thanks and best wishes for the new year

Thanks mate, for you too (oh, I see it's your very first "thanks" credit from me )
BTW, yes- it is pawitp's build then, it is the great developer for the i9000
As soon as you use Kies, you have ceirtanly installed USB driver already. Try to kill Kies process in task manager next time. It must work!
Just want to add a close to this thread.
After all this time I got myself a newer LG L90 405n, so I decided to wipe clean the galaxy s1 and use it as a media player.
To my surprise now the data cable works like no problem.
I guess it was just some corrupted file after all

I'm not 100% sure but i think since i updated my Z3 Compact to MM via my phone updator i haven't been able to connect any flash drives via OTG. now the thing is in setting > USB Connectivity , the only option is Install Software while i have seen couple of other options in other phones in 6.0.1
is it possible that if i re-install the stock rom (6.0.1) via my PC the problem would go away??

You should be able to connect flash drives via OTG.(File Commander recognizes it well on my 6.0.1 firmware)
As for the USB Connectivity setting, it changed on 6.0.1 and 4 connectivity options will appear on your screen whenever you connect it to your PC when you connect it through your USB cable.

the problem is that the only option for me in USB Connectivity is Install Software. i think i should re-install the stock 6.0.1 ROM via PC. by the way OTG does't work. doesn't show any noticifications even.

Are you on 6.0.1? If yes, then Install Software is the only option you should find in USB Conmectivity settings! That's how it's built....sony removed the options and you have to choose usb Conmectivity whenever you connect your phone to your pc!
As for the USB,did you try File Commander?!

It could be a faulty usb otg cable...you can try using it on an other device and see if it works there. If it does,then your device has the problem, but unfortunately, I can't suggest you a solution other than flashing stock firmware.

Looks like your device has a problem then, or your usb otg isn't compatible with your device. Try reaching Sony Mobile Support once whenever you find time here.

Connect the phone to your PC, then head to the "Android System" on your silent notifications, find "Charging this device via USB", tap on it and you'll be taken to the USB page, then tap on "File Transfer"
