Xooom not detecting camera - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I've tried everything to get my Xoom to detect my Canon 5D but I can't find out what's wrong. The camera gets detected by the system if I check dmesg but it does not seem to work anyways. I've got the official camera connection cable and my camera is in PTP mode but still no luck. I have tried both custom kernels and official ones. If anybody has got any clue how to get this working then I would be very greatful.

While I have read that my camera (a Nikon D5000) supports similar functionality, I suggest buying a cheap SD to USB dongle. I just yank the SD from the camera, plug it in to the adapter and then connect that through the host mode cable. It works great that way. I use Astro to view the files as it has a built in image viewer which works great for this usage model.

I had the same problem with my t2i. i had rooted 3.1 and upgraded to tachi 3.2 with tiamat kernel and gallery wouldn't see my camera. the only thing that fixed it was to go back to 3.0.1 from motorola and relock then get the 3.1 ota update then the 3.2 ota update then unlock and root. i then flashed the tiamat kernel only(not rom) and it is working for me now. (locking/unlocking wipes everything)

USB host not working on MZ601 with "hacked" 3.1 update

Hey, I got tired of waiting for Motorola's non existant software updates and decide to install the US update with the help of the 5 step post that is in the development forum(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089695). I then tried to connect my camera to the Xoom but it would not detect it in the Gallery app. I'm not doing anything wrong, I've got PTP mode on the camera, got a USB-host cable and the Xoom is also detecting the camera when I check the dmesg log. So I was wondering if anybody here had a european Xoom with "hacked" 3.1 update could try connecting a camera with PTP to the Xoom and see if it shows up in their gallery app.
Did you flash a custom kernel that supports USB? If not head over to dev section and flash a kernel. Also use ES file explorer or anything else you may use and look in the usbOTG directory. Check to see if your camera images are in there.

I think it is not a problem with your update--hacked or not. It seems that being able to import photographs into gallery is problematic. It seems to work for only certain cameras, or is hit-or-miss at best. I hope this gets resolved soon. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142257
I thought it might be my camera(Canon 5D) so I asked around and found people that have used that camera with the xoom successfully. I also tried a point-and-shoot(Canon Ixus 130) and it didn't work either. I also tried flashing Tiamat 1.1 and it didn't change anything. Think I'll try the Aussie stock 1.3 images that just came in and see if it does the trick.

Flashed stock AU images, updated OTA to 3.1 and it did not help with either camera. Flashed back to stock 3.0.1 european, going to try Tiamat again today/tomorrow.

USB Mounting Issues in ICS?

Several people in the CWM Flashable ICS ROM thread (including myself) are finding that USB Mounting/ADB does not work in ICS. Is anyone else having this issue? Specifically people who received the update OTA and non-rooted? It seems the Transformer recognizes that I have plugged in a USB cable, but the debugging icon never shows up, ADB reports no devices, and my computer acts as though nothing has been connected to it. I'm curious if this is a widespread ICS issue on the TF101, or just the specific ROM...

Updated from OTA here and USB flash mounts and works normaly. Can't test ADB right now.
I flashed both the FULL CWM US and WW versions today and found that USB is not working at all.
It'll freeze up for a second and then it'll go back to normal. --> no USB connection
I'll go back to stock 3.2.1 and update over OTA. I'll report back once I'm done!

Edit: Going back to stock and letting it do the update OTA works. USB is fully working now.

Are you rooted now also or just stock?
Wondering if it's the root that's breaking the USB connection.
Same problem here
I posted this in another thread earlier but it's a better fit here. I've tried the US and WW full flash versions on a WW TF today and haven't been able to mount via USB with either. Checking debugging doesn't help. Never had a problem previously.

I'm not having any issues with ADB or USB mounting on my TF.
daxtsu, are you unrooted or rooted? And how did you upgrade to ICS? Also, if you could please check under settings > Battery. On the right side, do you see "Battery Usage data not available"?
Nope, it's not the root breaking USB.
I rooted my B60 tablet after upgrading to ICS, it's working fine now!
This is what I did: I'm on ICS and USB is working fine.
Tutorial:
Step 1: Download the latest corresponding firmware for your tablet from the official Asus Website:
For example: UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduser8_6_5_21
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Unzip the file you have downloaded. Put the zip-file onto your external SD Card.
Step 2: Shutdown your tablet. Press VOLUME DOWN + POWER at the same time until your screen turns on. Then quickly press VOLUME UP.
You are in recovery mode now.
Do a factory reset.
Install the ZIP you downloaded from the ASUS website.
Step 3: Restart your tablet. Welcome back to Honeycomb! Set up your Wifi and let it download ICS over-the-air.
Step 4: Apply the ICS OTA update
Step 5: Your tablet will reboot a couple of times. Then: Welcome to ICS!
Choose your preferred rooting method!
Step 6: Root your tablet. I used "One Click Universal Root for Stock Firmware"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198303
Note that this only applies to tablets which are older than B70/80.
You may be successful using another rooting method.
Install CWM
Step 7: Do a factory reset through CWM!
Step 8: Enjoy! Please click "Thanks" if you found my post helpful. Post if you have any problems.

Yeah, I do get Battery usage data not available. But other than that, no USB issues.
What was your upgrade method? Did you download the OTA, or use one of the ROMS here on XDA?

At the moment I'm running a ROM I made myself. But before that I reverted completely to stock honeycomb .21(including recovery, then rooted) and then installed the OTA dlpkg. I didn't have any USB issues on HC, stock ICS, or my custom ICS.
It seems the USB issues are only for people who installed the CWM ICS version as opposed to taking the OTA. Now I just need to see if there will be a fix, or if it would be faster to go back to stock and then accept the OTA...

Throwing my voice in here. Used the CWM ICS ROM, no USB connection.
I'll try flashing the other US ICS on top of my ROM... see what happens... crossing my fingers... If this works, itohead will be getting my Thanks
I upgraded to ICS by first going back to stock HC via nandroid backup, then installing stock recovery, and pullin OTA update. No problems with the USB connection. ADB works fine. One thing however - my Vista-64 installed new drivers when I connected the tablet to it. So maybe the problem is on the Windows side? Check your drivers first.
Flashing that image over mine worked great!

Installing custom recovery without USB?

Is this even possible? My USB port will not transfer data , it shows code 43 on several different PCs, and I tried cleaning with alcohol and blowing it out with air to no avail. My main focus is to install the 4.1 OTA, which I need a custom recovery for since the stock one blocks it.
Is there any way to accomplish what I'm trying to do without using the USB port? Model is an i9020a btw.
Are you rooted? If so, flash image gui sounds like an app you should use. It is a paid app in the play store, but is available here on xda by the dev...

Try Clockmod recovery...it will flash the latest recovery 6.0.1
I am not rooted because I can't figure out how to do that without USB either.
Try reinstalling all your usb drivers from your computer. Had same issues with my phone, even with my girlfriend's phone. It fixed it for a while. Also I recommend buying a new cable! Stock cables are fcked up. I have 2 and one from nokia and all give me errors.

Issue since cm11,4.4.4, es manager and usb not recognized

My 959V is rooted, had plenty of roms,ect over the last 3 years decided to do Gremlin remover and update it...,
Couple days ago upgraded to the "909" download of CM11,4.4.4, but every site I get it from gives me 908 (even though they all say 909) (last 3 digits of download version). The 908 will not recognize on my Win 7 laptop, but was fine up to now with previous cm11 same phone..
I have used the same cable for the last year for both my Galaxy and 2 Sidekicks phones, data and charging, now the Galaxy only charges, Windows detects but wont recognize, does on the sk4g's
Also (908) will not allow me to paste into sys/media with a " read only issue", although up to now swapped 15 different bootani without problems. Tried 3 different root file managers,same outcome.
Is the driver for the phone firmware windows looks for(on the phone itself) replaceable from sdcard? Im guessing its a bootloader issue and the 908 is the one not to of put on my phone.
Whats the probability I am getting the 909 but the 908 will not allow it to surpass it. Goes through the whole flash and on reboot I have to reenter emails,playstore apps,ect, but on 908 still in settings.
I can/ have been able to swap 1 rom via twrp and sdcard on 908 ( to slimkat4.4.4 and back to 909, but comes up 908) any other roms error before flash(and slimkat does not recognize on usb either).
is it a Kernel fix, and can it be flashed via sdcard? Bootloader via sdcard? Bad usb port? Does charge, and the drivers/ cable verified.
Thank you for any help, been 3 days now, redone my laptops (2) from scratch, everything ,c++,java,netframework,samsung,zadig 2.0, and more.
DId you do a clean upgrade (did a factory reset) before you installed CM11? If you didn't, go into TWRP and do a full backup (/system, /data) and do a factory reset, then boot up the phone and see if your computer will recognize it.

Yes, cashe,factory and davlik, before and after flash. I also have a 2nd motherboard,swapped them out and seen that it also is the 908 download but does recognize and allows me to ES Explorer swap boot animation. Im guessing I somehow erased the driver from the phone itself.
Ive done some Iphone jailbreaking unlocking for friends and found that a certain baseband (if I remember right 5.13.xx or 5.16.xx) would basically lock the phone unable to downgrade or upgrade and was to be avoided. Wondered if this a similar issue. (screwing up my bootloader)
What does windows look for via usb in the phone, adb,? Is it in the kernel and reflashable via sd?
I read also that the mini usb port can get bent over time and needs centering, tried that, cord fits better but not the issue.
Tried to zagdig the 2nd motherboard (worked) for drivers, but the 1st one still has error,device malfunctioned and cant be recognized by windows (7).
If i can get the Anton basic with a twist (no rom just the cm,I have it for Oden but wonder if Its possible cm flash)., Im good I believe,thats how I first rooted and got 4.3 cm,then 4.4.4, 908. Dunno,willing to try anything, not worried about it as I have a 2nd motherboard.
The rom is awesome, with no isuues except the battery stats vary. It says 3 hrs left then dies 10 min later, tried to erase the battery cashe in recovery but doesnt change anything. (related via usb?)
Thank you.

You can flash new kernels via recovery but it sounds like your issues are bigger than that. The fact that the 2nd motherboard is recognized via USB but not the 1st suggests that there's some kind of hardware issue. The drivers on your computer are working fine since the 2nd mobo is recognized, and so is your USB cable.
Why not just keep using your 2nd mobo? Is there something wrong with the 1st?

O.K., so Ive been playing with the second mobo just to test different angles.
1) E.S. File manager is the culprit, swapped out for a paid app Ive used with Sidekick 4g, Root Explorer, and boot ani. goes fine, on both mobos.
2) The latest gapps (cm 11 w/ gaps 4.4.x) was giving me a "Google servers cannot be reached" error on both mobos, used the gapps for cm 10.1 (jb 4.3) and all is working, both mobos.
3) Was reading that possibly the adb driver is in the kernel, and thats what windows is looking for? Ive tried but can only sd card flash at this point so, giving up. I can bluetooth,wifi share or email files to myself if need be. Im guessing its a hardware issue beings that the 2nd mobo was reflashed identical to to the first. (with exception of one click 2.3.6,and w/a twist oc/uv on the 2nd),1st one will not downgrade at all below 4.4.4 by sd, I was trying to ics a rom guessing the foundation might overwrite any missing stuff then upgrade back to 4.4.4.
One post mentioned that the mtd/bml cross flash is a no-no, could that mess up usb driver identity on the phones side?
Not a big deal, both phones/ roms are working great and have no issues (except 1 doesnt connect to a computer for file transfer). Thank you for your help.
Little early to ask but are you going to be in this forum long enough for lollipop to be ported? I would send you this phone for devving if you think you can get it to transfer files. Also need to get a lcd/digitizer, i have the rest of the phone.
Also, the phone was working fine up to about a month ago, it was recognized by the computer, only difference I made was trying apps, off playstore, five fingers for ebay,different weather apps for widgets,silver/gold prices apps. Thats when it started not recognizing.
I was getting the same error about the google servers, then I tried a earlier version of gapps. Connects now.

I have no plans to try a Lollipop port, this phone is almost 4 years old now. You might be better off sending the phone to @bhundven since I recently got two dev phones donated to me.
As far as the phone itself goes, the phone should be recognized even if there is no driver for it installed on your computer. You can use this software to verify that
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
I don't believe you can even edit anything on the phone to make the USB device not be recognized when plugged in short of bricking your phone, so if there isn't even a USB connection being made, as I mentioned before, it looks like a hardware issue is causing your problems.
In that case, it'll be hard to flash anything without going through a lot of hassle since all the reliable recovery methods we have need that you are able to use your USB port on the phone.
EDIT
If you do still have TWRP available on the phone, flashing any ROM will reflash a kernel, but be careful because the recovery is tied to the kernel and some ROMs have a non-working recovery, so if you happen to flash some of these you'll be stuck with a nice paperweight . The latest CM11 I have posted does have a working kernel/recovery but I still don't think it'll fix your issue.

I'm currently looking into it, as well as fixing some issues with cm11. I have an SGS4G, so no need to send a phone.
Not just is it a 4 year old phone, but I am not sure how many people even use this as a daily driver anymore.

USB issues - charging/audio/pc link

Hey guys,
Not sure when this started, but it wasn't like this out of the box...
At some point via an OTA update, I lost fast charge, I lost stereo sound from the USB c port (only plays left channel) and I can't connect my phone to a computer (yes, drivers etc are all in tact.. it's a software issue with USB on the phones ROM)
I managed to update via OTA to miui10 8.8.4 device ROM after a few tried (had to wipe).. issue still persists.
I've seen a few people mention this issue, but most responses are suggesting hardware replacement. I know for a fact the hardware is unaltered and was fine prior to update.
Anyone know a fix for this? It literally takes 8 hours to charge my phone ATM. Given I can't connect via USB, I can't unlock my phone and go custom ROM (I'm kinda liking miui 10 also)...
Any options asides from waiting for an OTA uodate?
Thanks
Bump!
Still have this issue. Anyone else?
I'm now on MIUI 10 (8.9.20) and problem still exists. Driving me crazy. My mi6 charges in no time at all. This mix 2s takes forever

Sounds bad. Some people also have problems with the front camera wich stopped working after an OTA Update.
Have you tried Clean flash a custom rom?
I cant flash custom rom, as i cant unlock bootloader - usb is not detecting. I am literally stuck on stock beta until it is fixed.
Yea sry i kinda failed to notice this point
Would it then be posible to flash a Recovery ZIP of an older Version of MIUI via the official MIUI updater app?.
Ps.. I dont have the Phone myself just trying to bring some ideas in.

Maybe you need to change a cable.
I have about 4 official cables abd 4 non official. Makes no difference. My mi6 still works as expected with the same cables.
It is a rom based problem.
Still not fixed . Absolutely ridiculous.i actually hate this phone because of this stupid software issue
