Hello,
I have a strange issue - one that I've had for a while now - where neither my PC or laptop will 'discover' my TF700 as a storage device and allow me to copy/paste/delete files from it. This is incredibly annoying as it means I cannot now copy on any new roms.
Strangely - I have managed to flash new recoveries onto the device, but again this hasn't change anything as far as being able to copy/paste files in Windows.. Instead I am stuck with the current (very old) custom ROM I installed a few months ago.
Could this be something to do with the USB drivers I have on my PC/Laptop? I'll be honest - I have tried several.
Could it be something to do with the cable? My official cable is a complete mess and almost in pieces, the replacement I bought (cheaply) doesn't charge properly, but again both work when flashing stuff across...
I am at a bit of a loss... Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance for any help
I had the same issue, almost, when flashing TWRP.
All I did was reboot the tablet while plugged into the PC and it was recognized again.
Not sure if it will help you but it is worth a try.
Thanks for the reply.
That was not the issue, I had tried a laptop, my main PC, a couple of cables, reboots, erasing partitions etc. etc.
I finally fixed it today by flashing the latest firmware blob via fastboot, albeit after flashing a jellybean bootloader, as it would not flash properly previously.
Straight after flash of blob it rebooted, took around five minutes finalising configuration and hey presto, Windows found it and everything was well with the world again.
Cheers

Is there anyway to restore a Captivate to 100% stock without a USB connection? Ie, load something on to an external sd cards to restore?
I've used ODIN plenty of times, but somehow I've lost my USB connection for anything other than charging the phone (USB Device Not Recognized).
Thanks...
Nope, Odin has to be done via USB, the closest thing out there is Redbend, but ATM people have only put together packages for flashing the kernel, not the whole phone
What about drivers?
Have you tried updating the drivers or installing them?
Crap!
I guess I have to continue trying to get my USB connection to work.
I'm worried that my problem might be hardware on the phone, and without reverting to stock, I won't be able to return it!
Any ideas for the USB problem? I'm using the correct (ODIN) USB driver, installed, uninstalled, re-installed.

sounds like you are having the same USB problem I am on mine (see my post on no USB) BUT...after several weeks w no USB, today I connected the phone to my laptop so I could charge it and VOILA! The phone vibrated and asked me what usb connection did I want to select. Out of the blues, sure I've installed some games and what not but I troubleshot the problem for days several weeks ago and had absolutely no luck. I eventually gave up chalking it up as a bad USB on my phone and being that its rooted I couldnt exchange it. I still think its a defective USB but keep trying on yours and maybe it'll kick in like mine did, I did pull the battery like 10 times...I doubt that did it

Wow, that's weird, but great news for you...congrats!
My situation is a little different, since I have USB on the phone to "Ask on connection" and each and every time I plug in the USB the phone vibrates and makes me select. Doesn't matter WHAT I select. The phone thinks all is well, but any computer I try to attach it to says the device isn't recognized. And I've tried both of the drivers, and have tried each on a clean on install on 'fresh' computers.
...
Back to the topic in the thread title...
...
Since ODIN from an SD card is a no-go...how about a clockwork restore of a stock phone image?
Thanks...
do you have usb debugging enabled? if not enable that. also instead of ask on connection do mass storage thats how it has always worked for me

Debugging on or off, no difference.
Kies, Media, Storage, PC Internet, Ask, no difference.
But thanks for trying!
Fivebraids,
Try it on another computer and see if the drivers download. Maybe something hosed your drivers. Kies always hoses mine.
Did you download and install the drivers that are on the OP in the Odin one click thread? Odin is *****y about drivers and sometimes they take a couple of tries.
Also, does the USB work when you just charge from a wall outlet? If it does then your phone is fine, it is a driver issue.
If you have a Nanadroid backup of stock ran through ClockworkMod within ROM Manager than the answer is yes, if you didn't create a Nandroid backup then the answer is no.
update: I just reread your OP and if it works with charging from the wall then you definately have a driver issue.
Ok, problem solved!
This no USB problem HAS to be a hardware, since I've tried every possible permutation of drivers, settings, different cables, different computers, etc.
I started this thread hoping that I could somehow restore the phone to stock (removing SRE, SU, etc. so I can return it for a new one) without being able to run ODIN. It appears that isn't possible, but I found a way to do the no-usb restore!
I got a copy of the files created by ROM manager of a stock Captivate. I then used Switfp to FTP these files over Wifi to my non-usb phone. I used Rom manager to 'restore' that set of files. All I had to do then was un-root, and voila...STOCK!
I'm off to AT&T tomorrow to return this second Captivate...hoping three times is a charm!
Thanks to everyone for the patience and assistance!
nice job i probably never would've thought of that
Can you link me where you got that stock rom to flash via Nandroid. I am in the same boat as you are. I can't even get my device into recovery. Tried all steps as you and no go on the usb. POS Cappy #2
OK guys I have an issue
I now own a tf101 the issue I'm having is a connection issue
I recently purchased my tf101 used as a bargain price as our families 2nd tablet
The lady reset to factory before I purchased
After a couple days I began looking into rooting as an option to restore some functionality to this older tablet when connecting to my computer, I wasn't receiving any notification it was plugged in .... no new device detected ... no sounds..... nothing in device manager
It charges fine... and its an official Asus cord ( least it says Asus on it)
I also got the 40 pin to USB converter and it transfers data from a flash drive to the tablet fine movies pics etc...
I tried the cord on 3 different PC's, and 2 Macs nothing
Tried downloading and installing Asus sync and naked drivers neither helped
(Gonna get my friends cord this weekend see if it does anything)
I also tried most of all of this stuff in USB debugging mode , and toggling sync tool, as well in and not in apex mode
I tried a j5 wormhole USB to USB cord from the 40 pin converter still nothing...
I've read post after post about this topic however NONE have solutions
I had a friend suggest that it may have been rooted before she factory reset it and something got corrupted...
Some other info I'm sure I'll get asked about
Firmware version IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615
Kernel version 2.6.39.4 [email protected]#1
Android version 4.0.3
Whenever I try to boot into any kind of recovery it shows a belly up android with red exclamation mark
Any help would be appreciated
Anyone know if I can root from usb
Same USB Connection Problem
I recently reset my tablet to "factory" and had the exact same issue. Probably searched all the same sites and found the same results you have already seen. "Buy a new cable." "Buy a new tablet."
I used Baiduroot to get temporary root and install TWRP. Unfortunately, I had to download it from a Chinese server and the app is in Chinese, so you are really guessing as to the use of the tool. I poked around till I got it.
So now I can boot into recovery, but have not yet attempted flashing a ROM such as KatKiss.
Rooted, Bootloader, and Flashed
I took courage and flashed. I now have a TF101 with Katkiss 4.4.2 and Gapps running. All done without the cable. In fact, I just plugged it into my computer and it still doesn't recognize it. This is a weird problem.

Solved,
if your story sounds similar to mine(Go to TL;DR) Refer to post 4
ok, where to begin
my N5 was A-OK just 3 days ago running the Dev Preview of Lollipop. by A-OK i mean that it worked but with a few
bugs
(its the dev preview i know, its got bugs) like when i stayed on an app, e.g spotify, and exited to the home screen it
would take like 15 sec for all the apps on the home screen (like 6) to appear. There is not where the problem lies.
Again 3 days ago. i poked around both ROM sections to find a Lollipop based on that was to my liking, found one and
directly downloaded it to my phone (in hindsite it would of been better to do it on my comp) and being no stranger
to flashing ROMs i went on auto-pilot adn begun the wiping of cache and factory resetting, setting up for the move to
more stable ROM. When it was time to flash the ROM I completely downloaded was no where to be found, a bit
panicked i went to a backup i had on the device, it did its thing and i booted it up but it went back to Clockworkmod
recovery screen That's problem No. 1 . I rebooted it still the same thing. Scouring through
the web for help on setting ADB to sideload the ROM. The thing is that when i hooked up my phone to my desktop
it didn't recognize the device, The correct drivers are installed but it doesn't recognize the device its labeled as
unknown USB device. That's problem No. 2
*update i plugged in my N5 and the comp read it as a N5 but when i selected the option to sideload it it doesn't
recognize it anymore
and problem No. 3 is USB debugging might be turned off
TL;DR? 1. Boots into Clockworkmod
2. my computers don't recognize the device
3. USB debugging might be off
-Q: Can USB Debugging be enabled some other way.
Any help is appreciated
why is it double spaced? i find it a bit eye-straining reading that much all bunched together
Setup fastboot on your computer. Once done open a command prompt and type fastboot devices. If it doesnt display a long line of numbers and letters the computer isnt recognizing the device. At this point try a different usb port, and try a different cord, until it recognizes. The fastboot flash the images for 5.0. 1. =profit.

ok, used a different cable and it now recognizes it.
tried fastboot devices and nothing
tried ADB devices and numbers appeared and what state the device is in, recovery.
thank you thank you thank you sooo much
all is good
My Nexus 5 is alive,
i tried to upgrade to 5.0 directly and kept getting errors e.g archive does not have boot.sig/ system.sig. That lead me to look up Boot.sig/System.sig, that lead me to a blog saying i could fix the problem if i added something to the directory, forgot how to get to environmental variables, i went and watched the vid that helped my set up adb/sdk and thats when it clicked..
What if i tried flash-all with KitKat and voila it started running the process of flashing. Since it was basically a new phone unrooted and everything it had the system update to lollipop.
Hello!
I have Note 1 N7000, about 2 and a half years old and I'd like to keep using it.
It has it's original OS 4.1.2, factory reset has been performed about 2-3 times.
None of the USB functions work - data transfer, tethering, OTG, nothing. I can only charge the phone (but not with any cable which indicates a bad [worn out] USB port).
The problem came out of nowhere (as it always does) - one day I wanted to transfer files via cable and the phone simply couldn't be recognized by the PC.
Before that I disabled some google's apps (and some others) that I never used so I performed a factory reset just to make sure I didn't disable somenthing required by usb to operate but with no luck.
I ordered a new USB port (the little board with usb) from ebay and installed it today by following instructions from youtube.
The phone can now be charged with any cable (as expected) but all other USB functions still refuse to work (not as expected).
I'm currently out of ideas, what could be the cause?

i would re-flash stock. you should be able to find a guide and files in your devices forum.
you could have some corrupt files, and a factory reset wouldnt fix that.
if stock doesnt fix the problem, you likely would have some additional hardware issue, im not sure what it would be though.
short story: I installed custom ROM (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179332 - the v16) and it still doesn't work.
Long story:
Stock recovery didn't let me to create a backup, nor it allowed me to install ROM from SD card. I couldn't flash via Odin or some other similar tool because my phone's USB doesn't work
I figured out I should try a custom recovery.
Is there any other way to flash a stock ROM (or any other) than installing it from a SD card? I haven't done this before so please, be patient
I found PhilZ Kernel (5.0.3) and CWM recovery (6.something), merged into a single .zip that could be put on a SD card and installed from there. It said it was for XXLT5 (which is my version of 4.1.2) if that matters.
Installed it and now I had that CWM recovery that gave me the ability to create backup and flash from SD card.
I downloaded stock ROM from SamMobile.com, identical to my original one (XXLT5, my country, my operator, TWO mark), put it on SD card, did a full wipe and tried to install it but it said "installation aborted".
Then I downloaded another stock from the same site, also XXLT5 and Croatia but no carrier specified, TRA mark. It was the same size (786 MB) as the previous one if it's of any importance.
That one also refused to install.
Then I searched for a custom ROM until something not too wild shown up, the link is in the beginning of this post.
It installed normally from SD card and it behaves normally too, except for the fact that the USB problem persists.

you cant flash stock firmware through recovery.
take a look at this. it flashes stock firmware from on the device.
you will need to verify there is a version for your device, and how to use it. i have never used it myself. seems simple enough though. put firmware on device, flash with app. done.
Thank you for this, excellent app.
I flashed stock ROM successfully, but USB still doesn't show any signs of life (the only thing it does is charge battery).
...not a very bright future, right?

right, now that you are clean stock, there should be no reason its not working other than hardware.
edit, maybe try some different usb cables, could be you got a bad one.
I have several other cables and other phones (and other PC-s) at home. All combinations work on every PC.
It's only my phone that doesn't work regardless of which cable I use (or which PC I try to connect it to).
One friend suggested me to downgrade it to 2.3.5 (and then try to update it back to 4.1.2 in case it works [or even if it doesn't ]). His idea is that it might work because gingerbread uses USB mass storage protocol instead of MTP.
I downloaded some apps (tried a few of them) which switch from MTP to USB mass storage (in 4.1.2 ), one even required reboot after changing the setting but none of them gave any results.
Somehow I doubt this switching back to 2.3.5 would work, should I even bother?
Hey guys, having a little issue here. So I recently wiped my S7 and flashed back to stock using the QG5 firmware. Everything on the phone has been working great. However, between flashing my firmware and now, I installed Android Studio.(not sure if this is relevant or not) My issue is that now I cannot take files off of or put files onto my phone using windows explorer. Every time I try, I get the error message "a device attached to the system is not functioning" I have tried multiple different cables and usb ports, and they all act the same. I connected it to a different computer, and it worked fine, so it is something on my computer. I also uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. Any ideas?
bump still need help. I completely reformatted my computer and it worked, for a while, but now the same issue is back.
