[Q] Device isn't recognized by the Computer. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
So, the problem is, when i connect my Nexus 5 into the Computer (via USB cable) the computer doesn't seem to recognize the device...
by "doesn't recognize" I mean not even in Device Manager, The only thing it does is charging up the device.
I tried many things such as:
*Factory Resetting my Device
*Different Computers (one of them is brand new laptop running windows 8.1, another one is normal running windows 7)
*tried to install driver solutions from a Nexus Toolkit
*swapping USB cables / ports on the PC
*Selecting MTP / PTP and plugging / unplugging between
Info:
I'm on a brand new laptop running Windows OS 8.1
My device is rooted and running a flashed zip of Lolipop 5.0
I'm using TWRP Recovery.
I tried looking for a solution in the web including this forum but I can't seem to figure it out.
If by any chance you know the solution to this problem please inform me of it, Thanks alot!

Try going to "settings"

Menu. Click the 3 buttons top right under the time (this is the menu button)
"Choose USB computer connection"
Change from MTP to PTP and see if the device shows up in device manager. Then change it back to MTP and see if it showed up in device manager. If it does on either uninstall what ever driver is installed and reboot computer. Then connect device to PC and see if computer recognizes your phone, if it does let it finish installing and browse to device manager and install the USB drivers put out by google here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html or alternatively use the naked drivers here http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...r-solves-your-adb-driver-problems-on-windows/
I found that simply plugging and unplugging usb while looking at device manager you can find out what usb it is.
Finally if you could not find out anything above, I had an issue where my usb connection was full of lint from my pocket. The cable was not seating properly inside the phone from the lint obstruction. I could not get the USB drivers or my phone to charge properly. It kept disconnecting and I eventually cleaned the phone with a q-tip and a toothpick, sometime the phone connector could bend so you could try to bend it back, mine has been good every since. I'm not saying shove something in it and bend it/break it. I'm simply saying to lightly clean it or pry it up so that it makes a better connection and make sure that your USB is properly seated.

well i tried what you just said, it didn't work sadly but I just tried to connect it to my cousin PC and it worked properly
so I guess its something about the computer... Do you know any possible solution? thanks for trying anyway

I had a LG phone driver before that didn't allow my NEXUS 5 to be recognized once before, I think i solved it by connecting my old phone to the PC and uninstalled drivers via device manager. Other than that dude I'd just have to tinker until I figured it out.

Try plugging the phone into a usb 2 0 port if your comp has one. Some people have had issues using a 3.0 port.

Turn off USB Debugging (if you haven't already, assuming it's on) and see if it works. Probably not, but it does happen to some people

It seems like you've tried all the steps i know of. Have you tried plugging another device into the comp to make sure it's not hardware issue on the comps side? You could also live boot an Ubuntu CD and see if it's recognized with a different os.

the problem is due to win usb generic drivers that doesn't work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/problem-pc-t2858740/post55059501#post55059501
follow these instructions then install google usb drivers http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Could be the serial bus controller in the comp is bad. If you have a USB stick laying around plug that in and see if the comp detects that. If it doesn't see any external devices its a defective component in the comp.

tried 2 sifferent USB sticks 1- 8GB (worked) one 64 GB (worked) and i tried an external hard drive 500GB (worked)
Its something to do with mobile phones only (atleast from the things i tried)

Is your computer an Acer?

You seem quick to dismiss an issue with your computer. I honestly believe it is the computer drivers. Even brand new there are pre installed drivers on your PC that could interfere with the Nexus 5. Its possible that its registered in the PC device manager as something other then nexus or under something other then USB or portable devices. I've seen this so many times. Its also possible that the phone or USB are malfunctioning but I don't think you've exhausted all options software wise yet.

my computer is a Lenovo brand, I tried everything i know, if you have any suggestions I will appreciate it alot thanks for helping me so far.

If you have USB 2 and 3 ports, try using USB 2. Short of that, its cables...

Well I tried USB 2.0 ports too it might be the cables although I tried 3 different ones but I'll try to get the one it worked with on another PC...

[Q] USB on Windows 7

I have a strange issue with my G2x. A couple of months ago I was trying to sync my music with my phone and the computer wouldn't recognize the phone as a disk drive. At first I chalked it up to the computer I was using at is was old and hadn't been rebuilt in quite a while. I had installed the LG USB drivers already, but just for kicks and grins I installed them again. Still nothing. I decided to rebuild my computer and reinstall the LG USB drivers. Still nothing. The phone charges, but Win 7 doesn't see it.
Fast forward to yesterday. I want to restore my phone to stock so I can get the new BB & stock 2.3.4. I installed the APX driver and when I plug the phone in, I get an error code 10 in Device Manager - the device cannot start. I researched that and found nothing helpful. I tried using another computer that I know used to work with that phone, still nothing. I tried the LG Phone updater - it can't find the phone either. I also tried the KDZ updater - it can't find the phone either (even with the phone in Software Update mode). I also tried several different USB cables.
The phone is rooted and I can change between ROMs with no issues, provided I pull the SD card and copy the ROM to that, or download it directly to the phone.
I think the USB port on the phone is hosed. Any suggestions on how to get the updated BB & 2.3.4 on my phone so I can get a warranty replacement?
[edit] - I am on Windows 7 64 bit.

Do you have USB debugging turned on in Settings, Applications, Development? That may help get connected to the Win7 PC.
Yeah - USB debuggin is on.
I had the same problem a little while ago. The solution for me was to install the drivers throught the updater application available on T-Mobile's website. I'm not sure why directly installing the drivers doesn't work, but that's just how it is for some people, apparently.
---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
Oh, and turn debugging OFF
Yeah, i would turn off usb debugging, as then you can't get to USB Mass Storage. I would also try uninstalling and reinstalling the LG USB Drivers, and then try it again.
I have tried all manners of the solutions presented. Installing drivers from the LG Update tool, from the LG website, with and without USB debugging, with and without the SD card (saw that somewhere else). The more I work on it, the more I believe the USB port is bad. Thank goodness I can still charge it. The guy at the T-mobile store states I can get a new phone in 3 months. So I think I will just live with it for the time being.
What ROM are you on? I remember having problems with some of the ICS ones.
Kinda shocked no one said did you make sure you have USB set for mass storage? Thats usually the most common thing to miss. If your using ICS I'm gonna take the guess of HFS? Which i know for a fact he posted the update morfic kernel so you can use mass storage. If your not using HFS, then you should try it first and then worry about the USB.
This is ROM independent. I've used pretty much all ROMS for the G2x, most recently Owain's ICS, Weapon and right now HFP - all experience this issue. As stated in the original post, though, it doesn't work with the APX drivers when trying to flash CWM or go back to stock. No matter which ROM, when plugging in to Windows, there is not the distinctive sound that a device has been added.

Check your device manager in the properties (open computer, right click, selct properties, should be the first or second option on the right side, will open in a new window). Open the option all the way at the bottom and you should see something like USB ADB storage device. If its there then you should be able to access it. USB debug and USB mass storage should both be on, try adding "allow mock locations," and if none of the above work, try doing it the old fashioned way. Get the Micro SD adaptor and plug it into the computer that way.

[Q] Connect To USB 3.0

When I plug my G3 into my computer using the stock cable, the message to plug it into a USB 3.0 port always comes up and the device will only charge. In order to mount it and make changes I need to reinstall the driver software and repeat this every time I restart my computer. I do NOT have the LG PC Suite installed as I didn't find it useful when I could just manually drop things in folders.
Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I'm on Win 7 64 bit

Thanks for the reply. I'll try those drivers and see.
***EDIT***
So I tried it with those drivers you linked and same issue happens. After a restart, when I plug in the phone I get a Windows message saying the device can perform faster if you connect it to USB 3.0, which it is by the way.
Try blowing the usb port out with (canned) compressed air (phone and computer).

Didn't work. The phone will mount and I will be able to access internal storage and SD card after reinstalling drivers, without unplugging the phone. After a computer restart it won't connect.
Good try though
***EDIT***
I also tried installing the PC Suite software and that didn't help. Still requires a driver install for the phones data to be readable

Try these. It's just a older version. I am going to say that the problem may be 3.12 drivers(assuming you are installing them) not playing ball with win7 64

Thanks for the reply but it seems these are the same driver that the other person posted. Didn't seem to work :crying:
Funny little tidbit though, if I uninstall drivers and then plug the phone in, it will install the drivers located on the phone and work until I restart it.
Windows isn't liking the drivers. System restore back a before the problem started?

Unfortunately the problem started as soon as I got the phone. Ugh, I'll probably do a reformat at some point since I need to do one anyway.

Mine does the same, I get the message on Win 7 x64 and even when plugged into a USB3 port i still get the message, I just work around it considering the port on the phone only supports 2.0 by default.

Unfortunate to have to do reinstall drivers all the time, but oh well
I had the same problem except my PC would only recognize the G3 on a usb 2.0 port; it never works on any PC on a 3.0 port. Since my laptop only has 3.0 ports, i have to use a 2.0 usb hub between the g3 and the computer and then it works flawlessly. Pain in the but though, wish LG would fix it by now.

USB connecting problem.

Hello guys!
I have been using my 1+1 since september. Everything was allright! I have changed rom and kernel many times, so it means that i have got my ADB installed and know something about tweaking a phone. I say that, becouse last time i asked for a help, i heard only simple solutions. I already tried them all.
So, my problem is:
When i connect my phone to PC 1+1 start to charge, but PC can`t see him. I have tryed it on 4 different pc (all windows 8 or 8,1 (64)) and 2 different cables (native and my old one). All PC can`t even find 1+1 in device manager. Ofcourse i have confirmed USB-debugging, MTP etc. This problem suddenly appeared without a reason.
So i used native reset function and now my phone got no Root and Recovery. I don`t know what to do. Any ideas?
Any help. guys?
Still need help
Did you update your SDK?
If you're using the original USB cable that came with the phone try swapping it with a non-OPO cable.

test with another PC?
Two other OPO users had similar issues and it turned out to be the original cable. That is why I'm suggesting a different cable.
I have used another cable and 3 different PC. Still cant find my phone!
updated SDK but it didnt help
Weird. Try uninstall all driver. Then re-install back OPO driver. I think that is not cable issue since you have tried different pc and cable. Hmmm really weird.
---------- Post added at 04:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 AM ----------
@xanthrax need your help on this. Really weird problem. What do you think?
Just need your experience
i`m a bit confuse here
on the first post he says " after reset , no root no recovery"
what`s the status now ?
try pdanet app, it comes with universal adb drivers
i already installed reinstalled uninstalled drivers. i hae tryed all manipulations with drivers
etm my phone has no recovery or root, beacouse i did factory reset (thought it might help). so i cant install another rom (beacouse cant use abd fastboot or recovery)
any other ideas??
maybe its problem with phone usb port
Did you try like what xanthrax said? Try it first then let us know it help or not.

A bit of an emergency...

Hey there, guys and gals,
I'm having a bit of an issue here, and it's somewhat serious.
The issue is as follows. I have Android 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5. When I connect my computer to my laptop... nothing.
Nothing at all. It doesn't show up in device manager, not even as unknown. Fastboot doesn't detect it, nor does ADB. I can't do anything, and it's scaring me. I don't know how I could have broken it, but I need to know how to fix it.
I'm happy to do whatever to get it working, so please help...
Update: Tried to factory reset, to see if it would fix the issue. It's stuck "Erasing...", and won't go further. I'm afraid my phone may be hard-bricked... Is it possible to reflash these using JTAG, and if so is there anyone that can assist with that process?

Is it stock or what? are you rooted?
Also , keep in mind that the factory reset can take up to 30 minutes.
IMO it sounds like a busted cable/usb port on either side / incorrect drivers.
Edit : JTAG is not possible on our devices , access is locked from the chipset itself.
Are u on Windows 8.1 if so I had a problem with Windows thinking that my phone was a acer and I had to go the driver settings and manually tell it that it was a ADB USB connection then it would connect fine also could be USB cable I found the nexus 5 to be very picky about cables
Sometimes I get that but it solves by going into dev and checking and unchecking usb debugg, but sounds more like a busted usb plug
Have you considered that you may be using incorrect drivers on your PC? This issue can be caused by having improperly installed drivers.

Right. I'll address you all at once for ease.
Firstly, the USB connector functions fine. My USB-OTG cable still allows me to access files on a flash drive.
Secondly, drivers can't be an issue in this case. It won't even enumerate the device in device manager. As if the phone simply isn't plugged in.
Thirdly, Win8 isn't the issue, as I"ve had this phone connected to this computer many, /many/ times.
So it must be a problem within Android 5.0.1
But here's the problem. In order to install anything else, I'd have to install a recovery. In order to that, I need root. In order to root, I need USB. I'm lost, guys...
I just had an idea does towel root work on 5.0 if so u could try that?

Hmm... That might work. I'll take a look. But if it succeeds, then something gets broken later in the process, this thing is a paperweight, right?
Edit: According to http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...29-rooting-nexus-5-towelroot.html#post4125236 Towelroot will never be possible on Lollipop. I didn't go much further than that though...
Ya I just read that to bummer
Edit: as of now there is no way to root without pc sounds like u may have some sort of hardware failure I'm guessing only way to fix is to send it in and that's 150 bucks min

Well... This happened when I updated via OTA (after reinstalling the stock recovery) to 5.0.1 after 5.0. I did this all over USB. Immediately thereafter, it quit. I got it to boot, btw. The erasing problem fixed itself, and it's now running, but the USB is still stuffed. This is sounding more like software than hardware. Almost as if whatever chip talks via USB lost it's own firmware somehow.
Cable or driver 95% sure. Did you try connecting it to a windows 7 /linux pc ? And ... u can never be sure but try connecting to a usb2.0 port. I had those issues when I accidentally plugged my cable in my frontal panel ( usb3.0)
A few months ago I had the same problem, my phone got not recognized by adb or fastboot. I played around a whole day with drivers and stuff like that. At the end I found a post on the internet describing that not all USB cables are able to do adb connections and I should try the original USB cable that came with my Nexus 5. So I looked for that particular cable and hey presto it worked right away.
And 2$ usb cables do break over time. They might still charge , but one cold solder joint and no connection

Secondly, drivers can't be an issue in this case. It won't even enumerate the device in device manager. As if the phone simply isn't plugged in.

So you are correct. I didn't see that in your post, my bad.
Have you tried with another cable maybe?
Make sure you have either MTP or PTP checked in Settings/Storage/USB computer connection.

I've tried multiple cables. I KNOW that this cable is fine for ADB, because it works fine for my other devices. All of them. I may be marked a newbie on the forums, but I'm really not one. When I first signed up for this account I was, but that was in what... '07?
I've tried:
Drivers (Obviously won't work.)
Cables
Rebooting
Factory Reset
Different Computers
Linux
Windows
Switching USB connection modes
Toggling Dev Mode/Debugging on/off
Nothing works. It HAS to be a software issue on the phone. I don't think anyone read it, but it's almost as if the IC that handles USB connections has lost it's firmware. I don't think that can happen, honestly, so it must be whatever's in the ROM that TALKS to that IC that's causing the issue. Problem is, I don't know how to fix the ROM without USB connection and Fastboot.

Its unlikely that the ROM will be the cause if the USB port suddenly stops working.
Do you have a custom recovery?
If not, then not much you can do except send it in for repair/replacement.

First uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your phone. Get them from Samsung site just to be safe. also try redownloading odin from a different website, could be a bad download. and 'm assuming you have a good USB cable and good USB Ports.
also what model phone are you using? that's in settings--about device--model number

Hi, I'm kinda having the same problem the original poster is having.
My problem is, my windows 7 computers do not see the phone at all, no matter which cable/USB port I use. No beep, no trying to install drivers, no nothing. I'm assuming that unless windows sees the device to begin with... I won't be able to use kies or Odin or heimdall or adb or anything right?

ok, have you checked device manager to see if the phone shows up there? and you're right if it isn't being detected than you can't use it basically lol. I know sucks.
honestly, download the drivers manually and install them. If you're not sure how to check device manager or find the drivers google is you're friend :good: hope you get it working!

Drago, thanks for trying to help me, can't tell you how much I appreciate it bro. Now when it comes to windows, I'm no noob, I actually own a small business going out to people's houses and fixing their computer/WiFi/printer problems. So device manager, yeah I tried "scanning for new hardware" tried and tried, checked and checked, restarted, tried safe mode, tried using different administrator account, nothing. That's when I got this gut sinking feeling, what if something is wrong with the USB port on the phone.
It's a SM-S820L, galaxy core prime. No sound when I plug it in, nothing shows up in 'my computer', no tuh noon sound, and I remember back when the phone was working like normal, I tried to get a picture or two off of it by plugging it in while it was on, I remember it showed up in windows no problem, even without the drivers from Samsung installed. Now nothing happens, even though it says download mode.
I still need your help Drago, don't forget about me

alright well you have one of 3 issues then honestly.
1. phone USB port like you said
2. the PC/laptop USB or..
3.cable or driver issues.
make sure your completly uninstall the phones drivers in device manager while the phone is plugged into the PC. next unplug the phone, restart, reinstall actuall samsung drivers, than try pluggin in again. use a known working USB port also.
sorry I can't give you an answer that's the best I can think of, let me know how it goes!

You can try redownloading Odin and also running Odin as an administrator, that's been the case one in a while. lastly uninstall and reinstalling drivers could help. If this does'nt do it sorry, I'm all out of ideas.
I have same problem with Odin v4.42 and work with Odin3_v3.04,try different version of Odin.
