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...

I was having the same issue and flashed the us ICS update from the link below and it started working. I flashed right on top of the current ICS i had installed.

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!

Hello,
I've been reading this forum for quite some years and using some of the tutorials and ROMs from here but never actually posted anything and now that I have a few questions about on of the ROMs I'm using now I'm not quite sure where to post it since as a newly registered member I can't post anything in the correct ROM Thread [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467013 ], so please be patient with me.
I thought it would make more sense to post my actually questions than trying to reach those 10 posts to be able to post it directly there.
So now to my questions:
I have a HTC Desire S (obviously) and had for about 1 1/2 years now an old CoreDroid Version from here (can't remember which one) which I was quite happy with till it started to crash more and more often, battery kept draining and then there came a point a few weeks ago where it would just randomly go out and wouldn't restart till you charged it again.
That got me so annoyed I thought I either buy a new HTC Desire 310 soon or give another ROM a try, so I chose the cm-11-20140324-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip from the first page and installed it after remembering how to do so.
Then the Gapps and started configuring it.
So far so good, ROM looks good, stable, battery is working much longer now, so thanks a lot.
But I had and still have some issues.
Whatsapp wouldn't instal, so through the search function I would a way around it (in the end downloading it from whatsapp directly and installing it through the .apk worked) and got that sorted.
The next thing is still a worry to me, I used to sync my contacts from my outlook through android-sync [ http://www.android-sync.com/ ] which I bought after non of the other syncing methods worked to my satisfaction. Everything worked fine with the old ROM (after I set it up) but with the new ROM the program on my computer can't find the mobile phone anymore, I tried to reinstall the ADB drivers, but it didn't work (I sent the error log from the program to the developer a few days ago but still haven't heard back), so maybe someone around here knows a way around it?
Last night I experienced another issue, the clock works fine and after I installed the ROM I set up a few different alarm clocks and they worked. But yesterday I wanted to change the alarms and now every time I try to access the alarm clock the clock app stops working "Clock stopped working" and it closes.
I can delete the alarms and set up a new one, but only the time, then it saves and when I try to change the days or the sound same error appears. I searched the forum and internet for a bit and found ideas like deleting the clock data and cache, rebooting the device, but none worked.
And last but not least it seems I can't find the right settings for it but every time I swype or type on the keyboard it vibrates. I turned off all the other noises that the phone made while typing but this one I can't find. I would like my phone to be silent and don't vibrate when I type. Where can I find the settings for it?
If anybody could help me with this I would appreciate it a lot.
Kind Regards
Marvin
For vibrating on keyboard press setting are at SETTINGS/Presonal/Languager and Input/Keyboard settings (for me it's ASOP keyboard settings).
Did you do dirty flash or clean one? Clean ROM flash is recommended.
Other problems I got with previous devil-kin CM11.Couldn't get usb mass storage and adb working.Now I keep Flinny CM11 build and it works.I didn't try devil-kin last build.
Maybe you can try install Flinny alpha 5 CM11 and try if that work.

I installed Flinny alpha 5 CM11 now and tried it out. I had a few crashes with the devil-kin version too and bought a new battery, so hard to tell what solved what, but so far so good.
But for the syncing problem, now I have an even worse error:
ht*p :// i.gyazo.com/798a67697deb9f91904e7cac9b62bf76.png
with the devil-kin version it still found something and just had problems with the adb drivers, now there seems to be something else going on.

Regarding that issue I also got problems with many other apps i.e. Redphone, Textsecure, Chiffry and so on there always comes the message that these apps are incompatible to my device - strange I also use cm11_saga_flinny_alpha5 Kernel 4.4.2.
These messages of incompatibility are generated by Google play store, when comparing AndroidManifest.XML permissions and requirements with the phone...
Further more Issues at Finny/Devilkin CM11.0
Hello guys,
I am also new at this Forum although using it "passiv" since years. Now I flashed the CM 11.0 from Devilkin and ones from Flinny.

All works (both ROMs) great up to the wired headphone Controles.
I think this might be the right thread to Post that until I reached the Number of Posts to put the in the right developerthread. Hope anyone can help.
The exactly problem:
I use orginal HTC-Headset with three controller Buttoms. The headphone itself is working though I can hear music and sound but the Controls and the Mic are not working. I tried to register an input with the jayzheadphone app but it shows no input. Headphone and controls worked fine with stock ROM.
Thank you for help.
@Terodax
Sorry but I cant't evaluate your issue cause of the missing HTC-Headset, but I got some other weird thing with the "mute" button on calling someboy it fails in doing it .-/
So I worked around the little problem in "holding" the call -> that works and it's like muting

i updated CM11s and now bluetooth is not working anymore.
if i try to turn it on, it tries to activate bluetooth, then goes back off.
a full wipe didn't solved the problem, but it works with a clean rom (i tried mahdi, but i had to restore backup since monday i'm leaving for holidays and i don't have time to restore all i need on the mobile now).
i know i'm not giving many infos to have some help, but if you give me some directions i can try to fix it.
also, is it possible to reinstall CM11s with twrp or just through fastboot?
thanks!
I also have trouble with Bluetooth.
It tries to send file but either the app crashes or the file can't be sent.
Any info in that?
seems like noone has this kind of troubles
Hi! I just ran into the same problem: after upgrade to Cyanogen OS version 11.0-XNPH05Q, my bluetooth connection turns out to be unusable.
It first seems to connect (after "search for devices" is hit), but immediately when the call is initiated, the connection drops out (nokia BH-105).
Will check with my car installation too.
Is it possible to downgrade to previous Cyanogen OS version - I even don't know, which one was it... but at least it was working well!
Also having troubles with Bluetooth and my car-system since the 5Q update.
Before latest 5Q update everything works fine, but now neither of the devices can see the other one anymore
already deleted existing pairing in my car-system, but can't set up new pairing...
wondering if change of kernel can be a solution tho?

this is still CM and not oxygen OS
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.

I still use two of them. Great little phones really. I see no need or use for 5.0 I think running this CM11 from you guys is about the end of the road for these phones. A great ride indeed. Ill be sticking around regardless just to see what happens. Thanks guys☺
I followed the CM path through CM 11 on my S3 d2lte, then ran into problems with GPS after a nightly and couldn't resolve the issue. I moved to AICP and loved the ROM, but had more problems there, and now I'm seeing random reboots, plus the ROM seems to have been abandoned, possibly in favor of developing for Android 5.0.
I know this is not a "new" device, and it's been nice overall for almost two years, but I'm wondering if there's a ROM that might help me enjoy and get the most out of the time I have left with it, without constantly fighting with problems. Also, any stable experience with 5.0 builds?

I've tried more than one build on 5.0 myself and the same issue I had with each one, random reboots and issues with calling. I've been told to update to the NE1 modem but I won't go any higher than ML1.
I've ran nearly every rom out there, I've even went with the stable CM official versions and while they ran fine for a good two weeks or so after that the random reboots started happening again, the latest one I'm on is BlissStalk and so far after about almost 2 weeks I've had not one random reboot (knock on wood) and hoping it stays that way. I could suggest an older 4.3 rom which I never seemed to have an reboots on no matter how long I ran the rom. The choice is truly yours in the end

Thanks, ShapesBlue. May try this, esp. if there aren't any other suggestions. BTW, the latest Chrome on Windows doesn't seem to like the Bliss downloads:
Bliss_gapps.4.4.4.zip is malicious, and Chrome has blocked it. (same for the d2lte ROM zip).
Explanation links to this help page.
That's kind of messed up. Wonder what the problem is inside those zip files.

Try downloading it directly to your phone and adding it to the external SD, Windows tends to block .zip files so there is no surprise there

Right. It's easy enough to override, even in Windows; just hadn't seen this in Chrome before.

For Masta's builds you have to update to the latest modem for it to function properly. As for a good stable 4.4.4 rom, I really enjoy dirty unicorn last build. It comes with its on custom kernal & I've never had any issues. I would give it a test & let me know what you think

I flashed DU 4.4.4 7.8 unofficial (latest) last night using TWRP 2.6.3.1, followed instructions, after wiping everything but internal & external SD storage. Since then, no mobile signal, and "no service"/"emergency calls only"; Google Play thinks the phone has "no carrier".
BTW, after the install, also tried to update to latest TWRP (2.8.3.0) following their instructions to make sure that recovery wasn't a problem, but GooManager is full of "can't find recovery for your device"/"404"/"not found" errors. I had to download a separate app to re-flash the new recovery
image file. Anyway, I re-flashed with updated TWRP, still no signal.

Yea goo manager stopped being supported awhile back. They moved onto JRummys version of the same thing. I was going to say you'd have to be on the latest version of twrp but you've already done that. I just refuse to update to the latest modem, I'll be on ML1 forever

What modem are you on? Ne1

Why not NE1?

Yes. Is NE1 that bad?
Also, what firmware is recommended these days? Noticed that the latest versions of the latest firmware and modem ZIPs do not pass ZIP verification; tried multiple different sources.
Actually I'm getting a better signal with ne1

Here is the fix for data
Suddenly..a wild baseband appears! http://www.invisiblek.org/firmware/d2/d2vzw_NE1_modem.zip (flash in your favorite recovery)
RIL works with the latest baseband (NE1, above) as of the 20140910 nightly (correct, as of this post that build is not yet available)
Manual fix to use NE1 baseband on older than 20140910 builds:
I had to do the fix for DU to get service.

Thanks. Does this ZIP pass verification for you on flashing? Just wondering as other versions of the same modem file from xda threads did not (as mentioned earlier), but after disabling verification the ZIP seemed to flash fine. Same for the MF1 firmware files.
I just installed mastamoon's CM 12 build, which is really nice, and I seem to have good mobile with NE1, but problems I've seen on other ROMs are popping up with this one too (can't get GPS to lock, and can't get USB data transfer working). I'm wondering if a bad firmware/modem image is screwing with the phone, and whether there's a modem and/or firmware image ZIP somewhere that passes verification?
Which ROM's were you on that you had issues with GPS and usb transfer?

CM11, AICP, and now this CM12 build.
btw, flashed the latest modem and firmware files on that invisiblek site: both still failed ZIP verification, and both still installed/flashed successfully, but didn't change my GPS or USB situation.

Same for me.
Well, at this point it might be prudent to odin back to stock. I had to do it a couple months ago, had the brilliant idea to encrypt my phone. It took me about 2 hrs to get the phone back to normal. You have to run casual again to unlock, install recovery, install firmware, flash any current ROM.
