[Q] Droid charge usb issues Please help!

Hi everyone, first, this is my first post, new to the forums, at least as a registered user. I have a problem with my phone. I know most of you are wondering why I have not just read the other posts on the forums, but I have. I have attempted every solution to the problem posted previously.
Background: Phone: Samsung charge.
I was being impatient and did not want to wait for the gingerbread update form Verizon. I flashed the leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 onto my phone using odin. Everything went great. I was able to use my phone with no problems except shortened battery life, but nothing major. About a month ago the battery life was impossible to maintain and there were some software bugs, like clicks during calls, startup taking forever, around 2 minutes on average!, and random restarts that never happened before. I decided to look up some fixes and found that verizon and samsung had released GB 2.3.6 for the charge. I got excited and decided I wanted to get that, but I could not via OTA. I read some forum posts and they mentioned attempting a factory reset on the phone then trying OTA update. I went ahead with factory reset and everything went fine. My startup time is around 25 seconds now and no random clicks or gliches, but still not on 2.3.6, which was the whole point. I then decided to just flash the stock 2.3.6 rom to the phone.
Problem: When I plug my phone in to multiple computers it will charge but not connect to the computer. This means on my Mac it does not show as an external drive, which it has in the past. On my windows 7 machine it says that drivers were installed but could not be used (I can get the exact quote if needed.) I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device". I have tried to enter download mode when hooked up to windows computers and no connection is found.
Possible solutions attempted and their outcomes:
1. As stated, I attempted the method shown in a thread on droid forums for installing the samsung drivers. I have attempted multiple times to install the drivers on my windows machine and the device remains "unknown".
2. I have attempted multiple cables on multiple computers, both mac and windows 7. No change.
3. I have installed adb and attempted to locate devices using adb devices command on mac. No devices found.
4. I have attempted all methods with both usb debugging checked and unchecked.
5. I have tried every possible usb port I have.
Ideas/questions I have had that I have no idea are possible or how to fix!
Would a factory reset take away the ability to connect to a computer from my phone. So, is there a piece of software in the build I have that controls the connection between the computer and the phone, an identifier of sorts, which is now missing, now that I have reset the leaked ROM.
Is there a way to flash a new ROM without connecting to a computer, via the sd card, and what is that? I have read some things in other posts but am too much of a n00b to understand most of them when using sdcards.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I have been at this for at least 6 hours, sifting through forums, searching google, attempting fixes that others have stated worked for them, only to fail every time. Thank you all.

i've had a few issues with this on my Droid Pro. with windows connection a connection assistant came up with some options that I was able to get it to work as a drive.
Getting it to work with adb is another issue alone. The phone needs to be in "debug" mode. I would search for a tutorial on this because you need to edit files on the computer.
for example on my windows I needed to edit one set of files, while on my linux I had to edit another set of things.
I leave my phone in debug mode because i use it for my android app dev on both computers. try that and see if it shows up on your mac.

Oneplus 6 unable to be unbricked

Hi everyone,
A couple of days ago I rooted my Op6 and then decide to flash No limits rom via recovery (blu spark), as I was used to do with my last android phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note II.
Unfortunately I missed something and now it is stuck in the bootloader screen. Nothing works from the phone and I couldn’t revive it. I use a Mac but I tried all tools that are adviced here on XDA with my friend’s Sony Vaio but without success.
I managed to update drivers but I cannot run a flash-all.bat and I cannot use MSMdownload tool.
How can I do? Thanks to anyone who will manage to help me!!

EDIT: Sorry, just noticed you say you cant use the MSM tool. This one worked for me.
You could try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tool-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-international-t3903272
Worked for me.

Check the guide about unbricking and if You are unable to use flash-all.bat so you Have to flash commands One by One. It's worked for me a few of months ago.

It doesn’t work either that way. I updated my drivers, but no computer is recognizing the phone.
I tried from changing usb cable or port to changing computer, to change methods.
I didn’t found any solution here on XDA, I tried everything!!

Make sure u use the cable included with the phone. Some cables doesn't work

Neither. I tried with the original and two others that I have.

if possible do you have windows? the flash-all.bat works for windows and is better to use(i was unable to use it normally in linux). What happens when you show flash.bat?

I tried Mac and Windows. On Windows it always shows in terminal "waiting for any device", even if I uploaded the drivers and made everything possible.

Did you put your OP6 into fastboot mode in correct way? I mean you might be doing the wrong procedure when entering fastboot mode.
It happened to me for the first time, I came from Samsung and I thought the phone needs to be stayed on the fastboot menu screen just like Samsung but no.
You need to turn it off and reboot it while pressing home and vol down button simultaneously until the PC recognize.
Good luck unbricking~

I always powered it on via power+volume up before connecting to the usb cable, because connecting it while powered off always resulted to power it on automatically on bootloader screen

Bricked OP7P USB Issues

Hi all,
I am have bricked my device, its in fastboot mode but wont do anything anymore.
Ive tried literally everything possible, ive read numerous manuals, seen tons of video tutorials but nothing works.
The main issue I am facing now is that MSMDownloader tool does not recognize my phone because of an Driver issue.
However, whatever I am doing I cant get the correct driver to function on my Windows 10 machine.
Whatever I do, it either does not recognize the device, or shows it as Kedacom USB Device / Android Bootloader Interface.
I have manually removed the drivers from the device manager as well as removing them manually with pnputils, it does remove the driver and then shows it as Android Device.
If i then scan the folders (whole windows is in testing mode like many manuals tell me to) it just wont install the driver and if i do that manually using pnputils it changes nothing.
The only moment it changes is when I connect to the internet and search for a driver and the old samer driver will be installed.
I have tried the OnePlus driver installer, I have tried the All In One tool, I tried the Qualcomm QDLoader HS USB Driver, I tried it totally disconnected, i rechecked if i was running cmd and the msmdownload tool as administrator, i have rebooted and updated my pc, rebooted and tried again.
I am pretty sure its an driver issue, but apparently whatever I do i cant seem to be able to fix it, and another way of fixing this phone is probably not gonna work as whatever I do with the volume, power buttons, how many times i reboot i just keep getting the same Fastboot/Download screen.
Does anyone have any other idea, am i missing something? I really have no idea. I have followed several manuals step by step, googled and found people with similar issues tried those solutions, i am now busy for like over 12 hours and am really getting the idea that i cant fix it

This can be closed, I have used the info from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
It helped me revive my phone without having to deal with the USB issues and MSMDownloader.

Phone unrecognized in download/recovery

So Ive just bought a brand new U12+, and obviously the very first thing I did was attempt to root it.
Main hiccup Im running into here is that my PC wont recognize the phone while its in recovery or fastboot/download mode.
If I had to guess, I think it's a driver issue, problem is I've been searching for hours now and cannot find the proper drivers for it to be recognized. (I've also tried every USB port on my PC, both 2.0 and 3.0.)
Ive tried using HTC sync, uninstalling it and leaving that driver, Ive tried letting windows auto install the driver, and I tried a generic android USB driver, none of which have seemed to work.
PC will recognize the phone while it's fully booted to OS, and I can even command it to reboot into recovery from there, but once its in recovery I lose connection.
Not sure how much of a difference this makes, but I bought a factory unlocked phone, still sealed, with all the plastic and accessories inside the box. But when I boot into download I get the message "Security checking failed DENY", this is only supposed to show up after the bootloader has been unlocked isn't it?
Anyways, if someone could point me in the right direction for these drivers it'd be greatly appreciated.

Strange suggestion but try a different pc. My phone isnt recognised when I try to install magisk on my phone on my home pc but it works on my work pc.
I got about 9 different USB ports on my home PC and none work
Also download platform-tools_r29.0.2-windows for fastboot etc.

While you're in troubleshooting mode, try another USB cable. I had issues running fastboot commands and the like when using a generic USB cable, but it worked fine using an OEM one. Can't hurt to rule that out too.

I am using the OEM cable, straight out the box. I'm gonna try meddling with it again when I get home and see if I can get it working.

Ive done a fair bit of searching but I can't find anywhere to download older version of platform tools, I have the current build 29.0.5.

Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue. Tab 2 7 (P3110)

Hi,
Yes, I know, there's a million topics about this and I'm pretty sure I tried them all!
Long story short: been running Lineage OS on my Tab 2 for a while but it's been sitting in a drawer. Saw a video about using old tablets for emulating retro consoles and the Tab works a dream for that. So I bought a Bluetooth controller for better gameplay but it just wouldn't work under Lineage so thought I'd flash the original ROM back onto it to see if that would work. I'm not a n00b, but haven't done it for a while so thought to be safe I'd follow a guide. All seemed to be working well when Odin crashed and left me with the Firmware Upgrade Failed error.
I've been trying for about four hours to get it back, but having no luck. I've tried the latest version of Odin, as well as the old 1.7 version I was using; tried Kies, tried uninstalling Kies; tried uninstalling the stock drivers MS installed when connected, no go. Interestingly Odin doesn't seem to see the Tab at all now, so I tried the UniversalADB installer, tried installing ADB drivers as well as Samsung drivers manually, but nothing works, it just sits at "connecting" but never actually does. Also tried different stock ROMs to no avail. I think my issue is with the ADB drivers, just don't know how to fix it.
I don't know what to try now. Any advice?
Using MS Surface Pro (2017) running Win10.
Not allowed to post screenshots, but do have some.
Thanks.

How is the tab behaving after this crash?
Can you use the tab as usual? But you are still in LineageOS? If Yes, what version of LineageOS?
Can you still get into Recovery Mode? If Yes, what Recovery and version do you have?
Download Mode seems Ok, but not Odin at the PC end. Correct?
The more info you can give the better. Also if you prepared the tab in any way other than just entering download mode.
Did you enable USB Debugging for example? (but I'm not sure how important that is)
Or wiped anything in recovery?
I'm not sure if I can help, but surely there must exist someone here that can. I'm new to the android world, but used to work in IT Support and Network Administration.
And 100 years ago I blogged with Blogger, but sat and amended the xml-file to get the design I wanted more than creating blog entries
Anyway, I hope it gets sorted.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply and sorry it's taken me so long to respond; I've got several health issues I have to work around!
I can't get into the OS at all, it's just stuck at the "Firmware upgrade..." screen and there's nothing else I can do with it.
It was rooted and I was running TWRP recovery, but can't access it at all now. I did a wipe in TWRP but was still able to boot into it before I ran Odin. Odin worked fine, then it just stopped for reasons unknown and now there's nothing I can do with the Tab at all.
I see this in Device Manager: samsung mobile usb cdc composite device. Have tried manually installing driver but nothing seems to work.
Have tried it on my Mum's Win7 machine, but to no avail. I really need ADB drivers but I can't install them without turning on debugging on the Tab and I can't do that because I can't get out of this blasted error screen!
There's literally nothing else I can say about it as this is all that's happening.
Annnnd, now it doesn't seem to want to hold a charge. :crying:
Thanks again.

I've tried following a few tutorials, but I can't get past the ADB issue. Does anyone know of, or can link to, a solution to this please? I really want my Tab back!
Thanks!

Maybe a longshot, but you can test if this free version can access the tab:
https://www.tenorshare.com/products/reiboot-for-android.html
No use buying if it can't.
But since Device Manager sees something it's worth a shot.
Do you have to longpress power button to turn it off?
If so... when the screen goes off, have you tried to quickly let go of the power button and immediately press it again together with Volume Up?
Or down, for download instead of Recovery.
With my P3100 it was much easier with no charger plugged in...
Edit:
Tried the software and my tab is OK, but no connection established anyway. Only result was that I couldn't access tab in File Explorer and MTP state... only PTP.
In Device Manager I got a new Android Device: Something like Google Nexus ADB... sorry but I uninstalled it directly without noting exact name.
Replugged USB cable and MTP working again.
