i cant help with the second issue, but as for the first one i had the same on windows 7. my solution was, to change usb-configuration in developer options to charge only, restart pc and phone, and after phone restart i simply changed back to mtp.
but since you are running win10, it might be an unauthorized driver issue aswell

[Q] No USB connection while booted into Android or TWRP...

Hi Guys,
I've had a few problems with my N5 recently...
If I plug my N5 into my PC via the stock USB cable and boot into the Bootloader (PWR+VOLDN) then it will allow me to flash the original N5 firmware, located here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images, this would indicate to me that there is no issue with the actual devices ability to transfer files via USB connection... Right?
No!
For some strange reason my phone will allow me to push a full factory image to it and will also process any Fastboot commands that are sent to it but as soon as you boot into something like TWRP and try to control the phone's ADB functionality it will not find the device at all! The new MTP option in TWRP 2.8 will allow my computer to see my phone's MTP connection for about 1 second and then will immediately disconnect, the same happens when trying to connect to MTP from within Android too.
USB debugging doesn't show that it is connected when my phone is plugged into my PC and Windows makes the 'device connected' sound and then straight after makes the 'device disconnected' sound...
Any ideas? I am certain that this is an issue with my handset's hardware or software rather than any of the computers or cables... I have tried 3 different cables (including the stock cable) and also three different computers (Windows 8.1 @ Work, Mac OS X @ Work and my own personal PC running Windows 8.1 & Ubuntu @ Home)... All OSs and all computers run into exactly the same issue, device connects briefly and then disconnects.
I have troubleshooted issues relating to the driver. This is not the issue... Device Manager cannot even see the hardware after the disconnect.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Lewis
Also:
-Android does not detect that the USB is charging the device unless the device is booted with the cable attached (if it's not attached before the 'Google' screen then it can't see the USB input at all, within android or TWRP, of course...).

It's most likely a driver issue.

Not a driver issue.
3 different Nexus 5s, 5 different workstations. Other two Nexi are fine on all 5 PC's.
1 PC used for ADB forensics, 2 used for ADB development work, one known working for ROM'ing / rooting.
Phone has been factory reset, factory ROM'd from Fastboot. Connects fine on Fastboot. Will not connect on ADB / MTP.
On a fresh PC / phone reboot, the PC will detect the phone for just a second and then it will not reconnect until process is completed.

Debug USB doesn't work! I can only charge the phone with USB! HELP!

Hello everyone, until two days ago connecting the mate7 via USB, the menu asks me whether to allow USB debugging and other options, and I put the single charge option when connected via usb I thought it was a pre-selection, as happened every time I linked it but Now I can not connect via uSB memory !! Hi Suite doesn't work.. laptops (one with Win7 and the other with win 10) don't see the phone. I can just plug in the cable, charge only and can not activate the menu where the mass storage and more.. I looked in the settings and I also enabled the developer options and despite having turned on and off several times nothing happens. It remains only ever being charged. Even HiSuite says device offline. Does anyone know I indicate that steps should I follow through?
Thanks for you help! :fingers-crossed:
Android version is 4.4.2 with EMUI 3.0 and firmware B137
I'd be updating that to at least Lollipop. Might just fix the issue same time, but Marshmallow on B560 is good.

G920F, USB MTP, FASTBOOT not working anymore.

Hi all,
So I have a strange problem, a while back I discovered that I can't connect my S6 to my computer and or other computers, whatever usb cable I use the device is not detected at all. and only charging works.
I already tried more USB cables and validated they work with other devices, I also discovered the USB is not detected in fastboot mode, so I can't flash any images anymore over USB.
I also discovered that I might have flashed a wrong stock rom a few months back and I never tried to connect it to the USB in the meanwhile, when I trace the baseband version it says it's Asian..:crying: And this device is a dutch PHN. The device has ADB working over WIFI and root enabled, it also has TWRP installed and even there MTP is not working!
However i'm afraid there is no way I can flash a stock rom back to the device without a working fastboot, unless there are flashable zips.
What do you guys think?
- MTP does not work
- Fastboot works but USB is not detected (odin, device manager etc).. with all kinds of cables.
- ADB Shell + Root Works (Only over wifi)
- I got a full backup of all partitons, created it with TWRP.
- It's stull running android 5.1.1
Best Regards,
Toetje

I can´t belive it, someone who has the same problem then me. A little wierd is that I got 2 phones here.... Got my S6 which I´m using atm and some days ago a friend gave me a A5. Actually the A5 has exactly the same problem and one more problem is, that the "Home Button" of the phone is not working. No chance to root it at all.
It was like this.... I came back home with the A5 and first I thought about was rooting it. Restarted and tryed to go into "Recovery Mode" which wasn´t working, same as going into "Download Mode". So my first thought was that some of the buttons arn´t working. I was right, it was the home button which is without any function. My next idea was rooting over Laptop with Odin. Enabled USB Debbuging, connected a data cable..... and usb connection was not working... only charging!
After like a minute of trying and no success I wen´t eat first. When I came back i tryed again and USB Debbuging asked me to accept the Laptop. (Till now I didn´t thought about that it could be my first and my last time I will have a working USB connection.)
I wen´t into "Recovery Mode" thought about restarting cuz I wanted to go into "Download Mode". So I restarted and that was FATAL.... since then I had no chance anymore till yet to get a working USB connection. No matter which PC, Laptop, USB / Data-Cabel. And since the "Home Button" is not working, I don´t even know how to get Root.
Right now I´m asking myself if it could be a Firmware related problem?! I mean, when my friend gave me the phone there wasn´t the newest update installed on it so I just updated it. It´s a A500FU running stock Android 6.0.1 newest DBT Firmware..... and also I´m not able to change it without having a working USB connection.

I ordered a new USB port board, will let you know the results!
Any results after changing the usb port?
Did fast charge still work for you? And this replacing the USB port work? I think this is related to a broken USB ic. For me replacing the USB port didn't help
Sometimes it's a bad charging port and / or liquid damage to the charging port.
If your home button clicks but does not work it could be liquid damage near the home button. Same goes for power and volume buttons.
I just fixed a S6 edge plus yesterday power button not working, liquid damage all around power button area, fixed burnt components and corroded pins.

Without unlocking bootloader you won't be able to use mouse and keyboard on stock firmware, and unlocking bootloader will wipe everything, so it is huge problem.

HELP! Can't connect to PC

Hi guys, i'm getting this problem and cant connect to pc and i think i've tried it all.
when i connect my phone to the PC, it stars charging but my pc doesn't recognize the device, and my phone doesn't show the notification to make it file transfer.
Could it be a computer issue?
it seems not, i've uninstalled and installed drivers (ADB and Fastboot, oneplus drivers, google drivers) and the problem persist, and even try it on another computer and its the same, the phone does not appear even on Device Manager.
Could it be the Cable?
I don't think so, i'm using the original oneplus cable, it use to work really well before, and i have even connect other phone with the same cable and the other phone is recognize by the computer, so it''s not a cable issue... but I still when to a Tech-store and try other USB-C cables with their computer but my issue still persist (phone isn't recognize, just charge).
Could it be a phone software issue?
Maybe? but i discover this issue 3 weeks ago and a i was on EVOX rom and i thought it would be solved flashing another rom, and i CLEAN FLASH Resurrection Remix Rom, but then the problem was still there!
cant connect even on FASTBOOT MODE...
BTW, before installing RR, i Installed OOS 10.3.4, and still my computer doesnt recognize the phone, YES i have enabled developer options and USB debugging is enabled, and USB PREFERENCES to File transfer, but its not helping me, the "usb for" option its all grayed out and cant change that.
Right now i'm stuck on a RR build without Gapps, and i lost ROOT and RECOVERY, and as you may think, i cant install any of them because i cant connect to my pc, so i'm in a pretty difficult situation here hehe, could you please help me out?
This helped me. Hope it works for you too

Thanks for your reply, but this didn't work because my device isn't shown on device & printers, or anywhere as far as i checked...
PROBLEM SOLVED.
I think this is the silliest solution I've ever seen, it was just DUST, i clean my USB-C PORT (with a mask xD) and then pluggin, AND VOILA, it worked!!! so keep your ports clean everyone
