[Q] USB Not recognized by computer after flashing ICS

HI Guys
so here is the thing , everything was working fine, until i flashed ICS the stock rom with CWM, right after flashing my pc was unable to recognize my Transformer as a USB device.
Every time i connect it my transformer freezes for a few seconds and then nothing happens, and on my computer screen it doesn't even recognize a new USB drive.
I tried to connect it to two different computers and the same thing happens which means the problem is with my transformer
Afterwards i Flashed Revolver rom but i still have the same issue
Any one had the same problem? any possible fix for this problem
Edit: Charging Works fine
Thanks

Update: Strangely when i tried to connect the USB when i am on the recovery menu the computer was able to recognize my transformer, ADB was installed but not the MTP so the problem is not a cable or computer problem something much be wrong
I used ViprerMod to root my transformer and i am using Rogue CWM
Thanks

Just flash this update on top of your ROM

Slight hi-jack but I have a question about this.
I updated OTA from scratch (meaning a full and complete wipe). I plugged my tablet into my PC and it downloaded all the drivers. Great!.
I have my Titanium backup folder on the Internal (for some unknown reason why I did that) and I want to put it on my External. I plug the tablet into my PC and the media device icon pulls up. I click on it and both drives pull up and I can open them. Now I want to take my Titanium folder from the internal and put it on the external with just drag and drop. So I drag and drop, only when I click on the folder in the external (tried it to a temp folder on my PC desktop too) it shows as empty. I have USB debugging on and MTP is checked. I have also been able to transfer pix, .zips and other misc files over while inside the tablet with Root Explorer, it is just that the Titanium folder will not cross over for some reason.
Ideas? I did the OTA so not sure that flashable bootloader.zip will work. I am just missing something and I can't figure out what it is. I know they did away with Mass Storage mode with HC and not ICS. How can I get it over there?

Back then I use to use Root Explorer and copy the whole folder over to external sd card. Now TB have the option to backup directly to external sd card.

Ya, but my dumba$$ pulled a copy of my TB from my phone with all my backups (PowerAmp, Jango Music, At-Bat,...) and installed it on the external when I first got the tablet and then copied it over to the internal (because I didn't know there was such a threat of losing internal on this tablet) once I got a new external I wanted to move it back.
I know that in TB you can set the backup destination to wherever you want it to be, but this is an existing backup folder that I am wanting to move. Wonder if I can put it in my dropbox (900mb- but can be trimmed down for some apps that I know don't work and general cleaning house) and pick it back up to my PC and then transfer it over to external?
Edit:: I used Root Explorer to try and copy it over and let it run all night and when I woke up it was still cycling the icon in the center of the screen, 6hrs later.

Thank you very much for your advise , But Doesn't that mean that i will go back to stock rom and i won't be able to use the benifits of the revolver rom?
One other thing i should mention is that i already tried flashing this stock rom once before i flashed revolver rom and i had the exact same problem
i mean first flashed ICS CWM flashable >> USB not recognized
Then i tried with the ICS revolver rom >> Same thing USB not recognized by the computer
All what happens is that my Transformer freezes for a few seconds and nothing shows up on my computer
It sucks not being able to connect your device to the computer i mean it is kind of a deal breaker
Any ideas?

I apologize, didn't see the part that you're on Revolver.
Did you wipe going from one ROM to the next?

Flash the upgrade link he linked to above for your version. Should clear it up.

Solved:
After Updating to the Latest revolver Rom 1.3.1
Everything Went Back to normal , USB is recognized by the computer
I think this update solved the Issue
According to Gnufabio's Latest Changelog:
Added bootloader to solve usb problems for some people
Dont really know what the Bootloader is but Probably this is what was missing
baseballfanz Thank you very much it is not the first time you've helped me

unknown file on my Nexus 5 - data_VZ8E_S5FS0_0FQ7A.bin

Hi,
There's this .bin file that keeps showing up in my Nexus 5 storage named "data_VZ8E_S5FS0_0FQ7A.bin". I don't know where it comes from or what it is, or even if it's safe. I've tried deleting it before and it just comes back. I've done a full wipe of my phone too and when I install all the apps I used before the wipe it just appears again.
Can someone help me out? Thanks!

If it keeps coming back it is an important file it prob doesent affect performance or anything else It would be best to leave it alone

Open the apps one at a time until you find the culprit.

Bought on Craigslist, Factory reset it, Many default apps are gone, Lots of issues?

Hey Guys,
Brand new to XDA and new to messing with my phone in anyway, I looked through some threads, but am not sure if I can mess something up worse by not following the right steps,
I basically bought a used phone on craigslist, AT&T LG G FLEX 2 - LG-H950 and when I factory reset it, many of the default apps are not installed, cannot use my calendar and the phone is just a little off all together.
Not sure if the phone is still rooted or if the factory reset cleared it, and I am all together worried that the only reason the kid sold it to me was because he messed it up and couldn't fix it and just pawned it off to my dumas
I know its frowned upon to start new threads when the answers are out there, but i need this for work ASAP and if I screw it up and cant use it all Ill have to go back to my work iPhone (last resort, i hate it)
I started to follow hyelton's video http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
but got cold feet when i couldnt find my exact model the h950
It is currently on the android 5.0.1 and when i tried the update before i reset it, it said i couldn't update it something about the root. So i reset it and everything is the same as when I bought it on CraigList.
How do I get it back to square one, like it came in the box. I am interested in learning how to root and be in control of my own property, but I just want to get back to the start safely without bricking it so I can follow the forums and not feel so helpless.
im sorry if the first response to this just point me to another thread, but I will appreciate even that much guidance so at least i know i am headed in the right direction
Thanks a lot xda community

Factory reset won't remove root BTW. Recent Android phones seem to perform an integrity check prior to updating that fails when root is present.

Just read that to get the phone back to stock, then you'll be able to upgrade to 11x (5.1.1) and eventually 11z.

cool, thanks, one more question
I made an account with MEGA
downloaded the Flex2Tool 1.4.1 and unzipped
downloaded the system.img.gz
Started watching your video. however i am not bricked.
it has missing default apps and it says this device is suspected in rooting, software update is not available for rooted device.
so what is my first step after downloading these files. do i connect phone to my computer and open up the flex2tool and
select variant 1 which is H950 v10d etc
then do I select 1 , ( i do not need anything on the phone.)
or move straight to variant 2. restore unroot stock system.
if i do that next where do I put the system.img.gz file on my phone. anywhere in the internal memory and before or after I reset it?
sorry for all the questions and thanks for all the help. i am very new to doing anything besides calling or texting on my phone

1. You first need the LG USB drivers for the Flex to be installed
2. The system image file (gz) will have a .img file inside that's about 4GB, so unzip the one you downloaded with 7zip, preferably from a PC. Put the .img file on the root of the phone's internal memory before proceeding. You'll also want USB debugging enable and disable the verify over USB option
3. Once file is on phone you can continue with the tool, it will eventually go into download mode & show ## when finished

okay i did that but
I dont understand your last thing >>>>"You'll also want USB debugging enable and disable the verify over USB option"
when i have my usb connected the phone gives three options
1.Charge Phone
via usb
2.Media Sync (MTP)
3.Send images (PTP)
When restarting the recovery tool after img. has been installed to root of internal storage. do i just start program or do i need to turn off phone or reset it or just run it with the MTP

Like that. Check that the USB debugging icon shows in the notification area while USB is connected as MTP. Then you can start the tool. Be sure that the .img is present on the root(sdcard0) prior to letting the tool reboot the phone.

Probably a good idea. I think the previous owner was trying to delete some of the bloatware and didn't properly restore the phone before selling it, not sure if that was done purposely or not.

okay, i reset it but still dont have default apps
the default apps for the calendar which was my original issue still is not there, just a generic Android icon. because there is no default it will not allow me to sync calendars, also no default messaging app.
not sure if this just put me back to 5.0.1 which is where already was but i am still missing default apps to make the phone run smoothly,
any ideas on what i may have done wrong

You need to unzip that file
.gz like .rar or .zip are different types of compression, so download the latest version of winrar or use 7zip, you need the system.img file (4gb)

I later found out that there was this new files in my phone system storage, that wont allow me to delete it even if am root. i tried to change the permission and still cant . I tried to move all the files in that folder to a different folder leaving the suspicious ones. after moving the ones i know was not a malware to a different folder. my device froze and i couldn't do anything but to restart the device. i did so and that was it. My device always get stuck on the htc logo anytime that i turn it on. Please i really need help on how i can fix this issue and get my phone back to its normal state. I think is not booting because i move all files including the systemUi to a different folder.. the folder was located at (system/app) I created a new folder called appa in the same directory. thinking if i move all the legimate apps to the new folder. i will be able to delete the whole app folder which i left the malwares in. so i can rename the folder i created back to app. But after the moving was successful. my phone froze and thats it..

unless you have some sort of backup, or can find the stock software to put back on, you will not be able to fix it.

next time before doing such a activity like this you should make a nandroid backup and store it to a safe storage that you can restore.....

I have no experience flashing HTC devices, but the process is usually the same, just the files used change.
There should be some program common for HTC devices to flash.
I would look on some more popular HTC device and see if you can find a guide, and just substitute your firmware instead of theirs.

Thanks

There is but I don't know the proper commands. I think it's something like adb push (push location) (file name)
You may be able to move the file with pc while in twrp by Normal means. I can do it on my phone like that. Internal shows up on pc just like it does when it's booted.

USB debug is not needed for flashing. If your pic don't see the device in download mode, you will have to look around for some proper drivers. I don't know if adb works in download mode, so there may not be an issue. You need to get the proper flash tool and see if that can connect to your device. Trying to connect with anything else is a waste of time.

follow the advice that i gave before ^^^
there is no "best flashing tool" for these situations. there is usually 1 or 2 options of software provided by the manufacturer. one of these you must use, because there is no options, such as tools made by the community.
i have never owned a htc device, so you are going to have to do some searching and reading to help yourself out, unless someone else comes along who can provide specific help.
