How to restore to factory image? - General Questions and Answers

Hey,
I have a WileyFox Storm, which runs Cyanogen OS as sotck (kipper). At the moment, it has TWRP CR (which is a special version for the Storm), but is not rooted.
A couple of weeks ago, I tried to connect my Storm to my PC (which I have connected it to before) via USB. However, it did not connect. There was no Window's 'chime' or notification (anywhere), and my phone was not on 'device manager' or 'printers and devices'. I had enabled USB debugging (I also tried it disabled), I had got the ADB drivers for the Storm and etc.... but all my phone said was that it was charging. I tried using different USB ports (both 3.0 and 2.0) and different USB cables. I also tried wiping dalvik and cache.
I now want to restore to factory image, however I don't know how to do it if my phone can't connect to my PC.
Please help!
Thanks )

Possible workarounds :-
1)Flashing a TWRP backup (if you have one). OR
2)Connecting to a different computer and flashing stock rom. OR
3)Dual booting a different version of Windows on your PC and flashing stock rom using the other OS.

[Q] USB problem, need Stock Recovery

I am in desperate need for a stock recovery.img for my LG-P509.
My stock android 2.2 was recognized by "LGMobile Support Tool" and updated to stock 2.2.2.
I rooted my phone with Gingerbreak, then i forgot to make a manual backup of my original recovery.img (thru a terminal emulator), then i installed a custom recovery (ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 - Old BB), and then i did a full system backup.
Now my phone is no longer recognized thru usb by any computer so i can't run any computer based tools, I would want to flash an original firmware from LG thru the "LGMobile Support Tool" or "KDZ updater" (i already have an original "V10S_00.kdz" firmware from LG to restore everything), but the problem is i have no USB access.
I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled the LG United Mobile Driver (USB Driver for Windows), LG Android Driver, LG USB WML Modem driver, LG SP Usb Driver Installed and LG Support Tool.
I've tried the different combinations of:
"USB Debugging" off, "Mass Storage Only" on with sd card
"USB Debugging" on, "Mass Storage Only" off without sd card
I did this on the win 7 machine that once recognized my phone, then i tried on another machine with win 7, then i tried on a fresh install of win 7 and none recognized the phone (about to try on a fresh xp instalation).
I tried "LGMDP-v1.5" and it also didn't recognize it.
The phone devices (either as a phone, lge modem or usb storage) do NOT show up on the device manager (either correctly installed or as a problem device).
The computers do not even make the usual peripheral sound when the phone gets pluggled in, but they do it with usb keys, mice, keyboards, etc.
The phone does recognize the usb connection because:
When plugged to the computer usb it starts charging and makes available the option "usb tethering" on the phone.
When plugged to an outlet with the same cable and a usb charger it starts charging but doesn't make available the option "usb tethering" (as expected).
I tried different cables and got the same result.
Tried reinstaling the USB hubs, tried rebooting with the phone plugged in, tried removing the WPD drivers (as per some threads online: wpdmtp.inf and .pnf)
I've installed different ROMS and been able to restore backups without issue; i feel like i've run out of options and hope that the original recovery.img gives an emergency option to be able to connect to a pc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, i've been at this non-stop for 2 days and going insanely frustrated.
Boot into recovery, then connect phone to pc, then it will be detected and will install drivers itself

I had tried booting into recovery mode and plugging it in and nothing happened, tried the same with emergency mode, then tried both with the pc off and then turning it on. (i did this with the clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 recovery and with amon-ra 3.0.6 recovery). I thought the usb port itself may be damaged but it still charges and the phone does recognize the presence of usb data capability (because of making the option "usb tethering available).

[Q] Phone not recognized on ANY computer

This is for my brother's phone...
He tried 3 different computers, downloaded the latest samsung USB drivers on all 3, tried any and all USB ports on each computer. It is not recognized at all. The phone charges and that's about it. He's even tried a few different USB cables.
He's on CM 10.2 now and needs to go back to stock to upgrade to a new phone.
I had him try flashing a stock-rooted ROM from recovery, and it will not work. I don't know what error he gets off-hand, but he says that it gets denied.
Help please!

Not sure about stock but I can give you something to try under CM 10.2.. Go into Settings -> Storage -> (Click three dot menu in upper right) -> USB Computer Connection -> Make sure Media Device (MTP) is checked.
He was able to get it back to stock with mobile odin. Now USB works. Weird.
Thanks!

[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.

Pc not recognizing Phone.

Hello
Few days back I installed CynogenMod on My phone. Everything worked fine for few days and when suddenly I tried changing the APN settings yesterday and it wasn't happening. Then I needed to transfer some files on my phone again it didn't recognize it.
The pc drivers are all fine.
It is just charging and not showing any usb options.
adb is also not recognizing the device.
Tried different USB cables and USB ports? Tried booting TWRP and mounting partitions?
I removed Cynogenmod and there is no os installed. Now adb is not recognizing the device.
When i connect the device to the computer the connection sound comes, but nothing is visible in device manager or in explorer.
can anyone please help?

No need for adb, use fastboot commands to flash a factory image or use wugfresh nrt.
Try deleting drivers and reinstalling.

Phone no longer detected except with MSM tool

As of 3 days ago my phone is no longer detected by windows 10 when I connect via USB cable.
I didn't change anything as far as I know.
Default usb setting is MTP
I've tried USB debugging on and off
Uninstalled drivers from pc (and the drivers didn't show up when I reconnected in phone) and reinstalled- nothing.
Fastboot and ADB not working.
Device manager shows nothing.
Tried several different cables and computers.
The only things that worked were usb otg drive (sporadically), charging (warp and from pc) and MSM flash tool.
I was able to flash OOS with MSM (from resurrection remix ROM) but the problem persists.
I've checked the usb port for fluff and it's clean as a whistle.
Any ideas?
Thx.
Why does nobody love me?
