my droid 4 will not complete the root process. i think its the cable. i tried different ones. i even ordered the oem and it wont even respond to it. i called verizon to comfirm the correct cable to my phone. the model # is MICAUXCAB. when i recieved the cable i noticed it doesnt look like the original cable. so my main question is, do i need the cable that comes with the phone or any motorola will work?

I need some serious help regarding my phone's charge.
I have the T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2 (US), and everytime I plug a charger in, it detects it as a computer, wanting to sync. It asks me wich sync options I want to use (you know, the active sink, or disk drive). I have no idea why it's doing that, seeking some help, it won't charge. I've tried many different chargers, including the official one.
judging by what you sating i would guess that there is a connection loose on the usb socket and for some resaon the phone is thinking that there i data being transferred
as this is a hardware fault i would get the unit replaced
There is a chance it could be the cable try any mini usb charger they work with htc devices even though they look slightly different than the cable it comes with. if it still don't work then yea get it replaced on warrenty
ok. so i own a lg nexus 4 and sgh-t959v(samsung galaxy s 4g). the galaxy s will not charge with any usb cord nor connect to computer. i have tried new, used and old chargers, ive returned to pure stock firmware and still nothing. it will only work using the lg nexus 4 charger/usb. what is going on?
It won't charge or connect but it will go back to stock?
That's awesome. You probably have a broken usb connector.
It will connect to computer and charge using only a lg manufactured nexus 4 usb cord, so idk if that means its broken?
Help? Anybody?
Sounds like, from what you said, it works with that one LG Nexus 4 USB cable, it just doesn't like generic cords. There's nothing we can do to make your generic cords work. Hence no responses.
If it's still under warranty or a phone replacement plan, you can try to get it repaired for cheap. If it's not, you can either try to replace your USB port or, y'know, try different cables. Otherwise... pray that LG cable never dies. Sorry.

Thanks for the info. Might just order another nexus 4 usb cable
I have a SCH-I915 (Verizon) which is not recognized by any machine that it gets plugged into. There's no unknown device, no beep of a usb connection, it does beep like a charger has been connected (and gets the red x on the battery icon, indicating the amperage is insufficient), but the PC doesn't recognize there's an interactive device on the other end. I have spent 3 days combing the forums. I can assure everyone, it is NOT a driver issue. For one thing, the same laptop that flashed the wrong firmware and unlocked the bootloader is among those who can't see it. It also isn't visible to the best buy samsung rep or he'd have flashed it for me. I've also used anycut to manually select mass storage or samsung kies. Neither work. After reading many, many MANY posts on devices not being recognized, it seemed to me the ultimate fix for most of the people with these symptoms was a new cable. I just bought a cable and it's the same. The original does me no good, neither does the new one (which is an insignia from best buy). The maddening thng is, it was working FINE (apart from being unusable...but it was able to be connected to any way you like) just a few days ago. It was the factory reset from within the 4.1.2 OS that seems to have changed something. My idea (which may be entirely off base, since I don't actually know the USB protocols is, the tablet gets plugged in and either is supposed to say "I'm here" or the PC asks "who are you?" After that would be steps on establishing what device it is, etc... I think this initial handshake is what's broken. The PC thinks it's got a usb fan or whatever, the tablet thinks it's connected to a crappy charger.
So I've got a couple questions
1) Do they make charging cables which are distinct from the data transfer cables?
2) Has anyone used one of these insignia cables? Was it fine for you?
3) Is there any other nuclear option I can deploy myself? I don't have much faith in those best buy guys. (On a side note, I was allowed to use the guy's laptop to try and get it to work and if I had had a thumb drive, I'd have all the cool imaging software they have...but it was not to be.)
Does it shows up when connected in recovery or download mode?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
No it doesn't
No matter the computer I'm attaching to, nor whether it's in download, recovery, or fully up, the connection appears to only be seen by one side.
Hey guys, I've had my HTC u11 since release, from Canada.
Believe I have a faulty USB c port
When I connect my charger it doesn't fast charge.
When I connect the dongle it doesn't get recognized
When I connect the sonic ear phones it's very low volume on the left ear.
And doesn't connect to PC. It gives "device is malfunctioning" error
I've tried cleaning the port
Tried different chargers, cables
Factory reset
So probably have to send it for warranty
The thing is I have bootloader unlocked. It's stock rom. Since I can't connect to USB not able to fastboot
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Unlocked bootloader doesn't break warranty but flashing roms does.
Have you made sure you've got all the dust and fluff out of the port with a pin?
Have you tried multiple USB-C cables? Hopefully it is just a worn cable and a new one will remedy your issues.
Thank you so much for your responses.
I have tried different cables, power adapters. Tried in Friends houses in case I had bad house electrical wiring lol
Nothing worked
First step was cleaned the USB c port carefully and thoroughly.
I'm quite certain it's a faulty USB pcd board.
I'm just worried as their warranty excludes "unlocked bootloader" even though they initially advertise it wouldnt void it. I have webarchive of the ad so if they try to deny warranty I will pull that card
But I essentially want to avoid any argument when they have pocession of my phone.
There's a post about experience people have had with warranty. I'll have a read at that.
But if someone who's in Canada sent their phone unlocked and had no issues please let me know!!
Is there no way to lock bootloader without hooking up to PC?

To start off my USB port seems to be malfunctioning. I can charge but will always get the " charging slow" error. It will even charge via usb port on a pc but it will not recognize it as an external Storage unit. Ive changed the usb settings via developer settings. However i do not get a usb notification on my phone giving me the option to switch the function.
Is there a way to connect to a PC to use flashing tools/ADB in order to unlock my loader as well as flash and send commands to my phone. I can use LG AirDrive but i do not believe commands can be sent through that. Would greatly appreciate help since im lead to believe rooting has just hit for the Stylo 4.
If it is any importance. I am on the stylo 4 bought through best buy not attached to any carrier Q710ULM is my model number
Did you try another USB cable? Ive had several that broken inside and the same happened. Changing USB cable solved it
Ive tried several. It is definetly my USB port. I think dollar store chargers did it in. And now since its always slowly charging i think it won't do any data transfer maybe in fear of loss of data due to bad connection?

Yours is a micro USB port right? Most likely it's a faulty USB port. See if you can get a store to replace it
Yes. Well a Type C but android charger none the less. I guess id have to send to LG to honor the warranty. I didnt purchase ot from a carrier and also did not get aj insurance plan when i connected it to t mobile.
In other words you are saying im SOL for getting on ADB? Atleast until a one click root has a method for this device.
Just to test. Did you test in another computer to see if it is detects it?
My computer corrupted the adb connection due to faulty drivers. Reinstalling windows fixed it because in another computer that i have it was detected normally. It's just to test the whole scenario here. If it doesn't work RMA it to LG
Yes I tested it on a computer as well as multiple outlets. I finally just took the back off and took out the port. It had a lot of corrosion around it. Almost all teal colored. I blame those dollar store chargers. I have no other explanation behind why it happened. Either way there is luckily someone wihtin range selling a bunch of parts on offerup so I was able to pick uo a new port for 7 dollars off of him. When I removed the back I was pretty surprised to see how the "non-removable" batteries are packages in there. Just a bunch of layers wrapped up in thin plastic with some tape around it. haha
