[Q] Any way to root without USB? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All!
A while back I had some usb issues (kept going into car mode, grrr) - so I managed to fix it by hacking a little bit of the USB port away. I went back to stock rom just before I did this also, so now cannot connect via USB to root.
Anyone know a way of doing this without adb via USB?

Hmm... Without using `adb` this might be difficult. ICS builds now have a cool feature that allows you to connect to your phone over your local network using `adb`.
Why can't you use `adb`? Are you not very good with Linux shell environments or does your setup restrict you in some way? I guess a bit more information about your current setup and situation would help others and I offer a more tailored solution to your problem.

I can't use ADB because I've mangled my USB port - it only charges now via USB nothing else (charges slowly also ).
I think I'll have to get the USB port repaired!

What ROM are you using at the moment? Some allow you to use adb over your Wifi connection.

Yeah I suggest changing the USB port or use another comp.

[Q] Galaxy nexus USB data stopped working (still charges)

My Nexus is stock but it is unlocked.
I have the latest CWM on there (touch 5.8.0.2)
I was currently downloading all the necessary stuff to flash to AOKP but havent even got there yet because all of the sudden my USB isn't working.
I have tried two different cables, the stock one and a different one (both which were working before).
I get charging working through USB but no file transfer.
I just did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache via Recovery, and still nada.
Am I cooked here? B-stock with no warranty from Expansys, now currently kicking myself for not buying brand new.
[edit] yes MTP and USB Debug were/are both checked on
[edit2] a lot of my searches seem to indicate that you can move and transfer via adb in recovery or fastboot while having this error. I am not finding that to be the case.
[edit3] windows 7 does not show any indication of a usb drive or anything plugged in as it used to before. This is obviously making it hard for me to try things like reinstalling drivers and whatnot.
thanks
It probably has nothing to do with the USB port...
Plug your phone into your computer, and then scroll the status bar down. You should see a notification "Connected as xx" Select that, then make sure connect as MTP is checked, if it's connected via ptp (camera) it won't allow you to sync files, for what reason so ever...
If that doesn't help, then reflash stock ROM, that usually helps.. With most problems anyway...
If both of these don't work, then I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'd then call Samsung, and send it in...

Yea MTP was already checked on. USB debugging being on would have auto kicked in as well.
I flashed AOKP but still the same issues. The hardware might have gotten bonked - I hate how fragile these tiny little ports are!
Is there some kind of diagnostic I can run to see if it is truly a hardware issue?
It's the kernel, try another one

Just swapped to Faux kernel... still persists.
I'm really starting to think its the hardware but crossing my fingers there's a fix.
the same thing is happening to me, it started yesterday too!
I am on AOKP b-23, Faux kernel....
plug in my usb, it can charge but absolutely nothing happens on the computer side, try it on number of computers too... but the phone is able to charge.
EDIT:

Mine started doing this. Would charge‚ but sometime I couldn't transfer data or use adb. It seems that the USB didn't like to stay in my computer. Any little movement would unplug it just enough to keep it charging but nothing else.

I've since tested the MHL cable and also tried using the usb host cable to connect a mouse and both work... does that mean my data connection theoretically could be fine?
I'm using AOKP #23 with Trinity and not had this issue at all. Whether it's because I combine the ROM, Gapps and kernel before flashing I don't know but my phone is running fine
im having this problem as well. does anyone have a solution?
So all you guys that are having problems have enabled MTP through Settings >Storage?

Had this same issue yesterday ( phone was 1 day old ) had it plugged into my windows 7 machine and all of sudden the machine couldnt see it. So I wiggled the cable sure enough the computer saw it, jiggled it again and it would lose connection to the PC. Tried this on several PCs with Several cables and same result everytime. If I held the cable connected to the phone at the right angle it would never lose connection.
Ran to Verizon and the numbskull behind counter tried telling me that is normal and I would just have live with it, almost punched him in the throat. Demaded he go get another phone and show me if that one does it. It didnt so he swapped it and was to hasty about it, ended up giving me another cable charger and headphones WOOT WOOT
new phone doesnt do it as of this writing
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539 This is probably the issue you guys are experiencing. Seems like you should swap it in or try to fix it yourself by changing the USB charging board.

i'm an android dev and this has happened to me. really really not good to no longer have adb access to my device. restarted both the phone and computer and tried a different coworker's computer and usb cable with no luck.
i used a samsung usb charger last night which i usually never do (i usually just charge it on the computer) and now this morning i have no data connection.
Hello,
have this problem already on my GNEX. After some reading, i got an idea to turn off Fast Charge in Trickster MOD.
And MTP now working .
Anyway there is an warning about fast charge - " Enabling this will disable access to phone storage" .
Problem solved
Yes, i can't connect mtp too and you rigth..usb fast charging is the problem.

Just so y'all know...Fast Charge is simply tricking your phone into thinking it's plugged into an AC outlet...rather than a USB port.
Thus MTP won't work.
same issue here
I'm having the same issue here. Charging works fine with 2 computers and multiple USB cables (as well as AC and car charger adapters), but data transfer has completely stopped working. My computer won't see my phone at all. I have the correct drivers (given that I used them to connect to my computer when I first rooted and unlocked the bootloader). Tried changing the drivers, but I can't get my phone to show up in Device Manager at all. MTP and USB Debugging are enabled.
The only thing I can think of is that I dropped my phone while it was connected, and now the USB cable only charges the phone if I bend it in a certain way (it usually requires upward pressure where the cable plugs into the phone to work). However, other USB charging cables work just fine without any pressure. Is there any chance that a new OEM Samsung USB cable might solve my problem? The other cables I've used weren't OEM.
I normally use a wi-fi data transfer app because the USB data transfer has been slow since day one, so that can be worked around. What IS a major problem for me is that I'm trying to re-root my phone after my root access was lost with the 4.0.4 OTA update. I didn't keep up with the news and only realized last week that my root access had been lost because I tried to do things that required root. Since the OTA update trashed my CWM recovery image, I seem to have no way to re-root and reinstall CWM aside from going back to my computer and doing what I did the first time. But if I can't connect to my computer, I can't do that. It also seems that I would need computer access to remove root in case I bring it back to Verizon for a replacement under warranty.
So on another note, if you guys know of a way to re-root my phone without connecting it to my PC, I'm all ears...

I have run into a lot of USB defects on the phones I have received. It might be wise to get Samsung to repair it, but you will be without a phone for a week. You could also try another cable.
I used to have similar issues except where the power got routed into the data port, frying my phone in multiple areas.
On Samsung's repair ticket they said REPLACED COMPONENT (I'm assuming this is the usb controller and port) this could be the solution but it requires sending it in.

Galaxy Nexus USB Not Working

Hi! I tried connecting my phone to my pc today and it wouldn't connect (and I don't see the notification on the phone). I tried with another other pc and different USB cables with no luck. Is there any solution to this ?
Thanks

Try ever so carefully bending the usb port up towards the screen. Maybe with a tooth pich so you do not scratch anything. My SGS2 did this and after tweaking I had ZERO issues.
I just tried that it sometimes works now (rarely though ). I also noticed that the phone charges its just the MTP that isnt working
Same issue...
Went to root my Gsm gnex... Couldn't connect to the pc...
And now whenever I go into gallery it force closes... Could it be an issue with the internal storage?

Not sure I've had my phone rooted since the start of this year...I also reflashed a different ROM (full data wipe) so I don't think it's software related

Is there any chance that you've got fast-charge enabled (say if you're running a kernel that allows it and some script starts it upon boot?)? If so, then USB Storage or MTP isn't going to work and isn't supposed to until you do this:
1) take it out of fast-charge mode (like with .. trickster mod or an "#echo 0 > /sys/.. {wherever it goes, have to google it},
2) unplug USB
3) plug it back in
4) hopefully it'll work if that was the problem.
Just a thought and it's happened to me. I use a script I wrote on boot to enable fast USB charge and another from userspace to disable fast charge so I can see the drive.
Good luck.

I use Trinity Kernel and I made sure fast charge is disabled. I even flashed from Rasbean to CM10 to make sure it isnt related to the Rom or kernel. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the usb port in the phone as sometimes it connects but disconnects after a while
Thanks anyways

Ah well, too bad. I guess if you need to get to your PC and don't mind reduced speeds, you could always use a cifs (common internet file system) aware kernel, (faux or air I think, maybe more), then use cifsmanager to mount whatever PC share you like and transfer over the air for now.

Also...post three of my guide ↓​Has a return to stock and locked guide if you need to get a warranty exchange.
I have this issue with one of the many cables from replacements that i got. Its weird because like you said it charges but it doesn't connect. And I've noticed that if I use that cable to charge my phone it takes for ever to charge. But if I use one of the others it charges like a lightning striking the ground

just not your case but if you have a pattern lock might not recognize your phone. Try setting the pattern of sliding

hardware issue?
I did some research and came to conclusion that it is most likely a hardware issue. I had tried bending the pin inside the USB port but that didn't do the trick for me and seems to be a rather unreliable solution. I found a guide to replace the port yourself on ifixit. Since I don't own the tools and am not very good in repairing those things myself I had mobiletechvideos do it for me (i'm not allowed to post a link but you'll find it by googling for it).
It's a fair price for not having to do it myself and risking serious damage to the device. I got my phone back after 9 days and since then it has been working like a charm.
Anyway, it sucks that the micro usb port is that fragile and got damaged so easily in the first place.
I had connect problem and everyone kept saying i needed to install drivers and sending me to toolkits. I KNEW drivers installed. Turned out to be the usb inf file in sdk only had nexus one, ns4g, and the 7 wrote in. I copied the gnex info to the file and rebooted computer. Worked perfectly. Didn't even get the new hardware popup.
*Shaolin Shadowboxing*
I've been using trinity and noticed that sometimes it doesn't recognize the USB when plunged in after it's been up for awhile... Something happens when it's been on for awhile I don't know if it is fast charge related or not..
My solution... reboot the phone with the USB plugged in.. works EVERYTIME...

[Q] Weird USB Problem.. SGH-T999

"This device can perform faster" note when I plug my device to the laptop.
Tested with no help:
- Two similar devices connecting without a problem. (Bought together)
- All ports tested on 2 different computers.
- all *#7284# "qualcomm usb settings".
- MTP mode and PTP (camera) mode.
- USB debugging On and Off.
I'm pretty hopeless..
Could this be a hardware problem?
The device is 3 months old.
Adroid 4.1.1
What should I try?
Thanks.
There is not really any "Problem". What's happened is that you plugged a USB2 (or faster) into a USB1 port.
In plain english, your computer might just be a little older, and not have all the faster stuff that newer pc's have.
If you plug in a older USB Device, it would work with no problem and no message.
If you plug in a newer USB2 device (it runs 2X faster than USB1) it will show you that message, but the device will still work fine, except it will be slower than if you had plugged it in a USB2 slot.
If your Computer is older, it might be a benefit for you to get it updated, if there is software available via Microsoft Updates.
If it's XP that's running, you could benefit using the Service Pack2 or Service Pack3 updates.
It may also be that your hardware is going as fast as it possibly can, and cannot go any faster. Bottom line is, it'll work fine so don't worry.
Aloha!

Sorry Dude,
Yes,I read your message, "Similar devices" could have been anything. Did you try the phone with the problem on another DIFFERENT computer?
Are "all my devices" USB2? You were not clear with your explanation. sorry, I was just trying to help you, but you don't really need any help from me after all! You seem to know so much more than I do. Sorry to have bothered ............
Absolutely not! I appreciate any help..

Phone isn't recognised by computer nor is my USB C stick

Hello,
I hope someone can help. I am trying to get my computer to recognise my phone. I am not rooted and I have Marshmellow 6.0.1
I unlocked developer options. I bought a cable and it worked! The computer saw my phone. However it stopped seeing my phone. Why I don't know! But when it did work I saw the driver was not for the 5x but from my S4. Well since it's not working I ordered the recommended USB cables by Benson Leung Tech Matte. Still unable to see my phone. Tried cables on another computer with same results. The computer I tried it on recognised my phone and then it also stopped seeing my phone.
I also bought a usb c stick to use on my phone. My phone responds to the stick but when I choose for MTP from charging nothing happens and i cannot access the USB Stick. In Dev options MTP is selected. I also noticed that USB tethering is not available. I have no clue what to try next.

Thanks for the drivers. USB Debugging is on. When I toggled Charging popped up instead of PTP and so I kept toggling and it finally went to PTP and so I toggled MTP and it goes back to charging! So I kept at it until it finally went to MTP. Is this normal? I counted 12 tries before changing from charging to PTP! But the computer doesn't see the phone. I did it a few times

i honestly never thought about this, is this even supposed to work without some kind of an OTG adapter. i mean sure, the plugs fit, put do the pins match/work for that configuration?
from how you describe that your phone reacts i would guess it doesn't, and it sounds more like your phone goes into client, as opposed to host mode.
very interested to see what someone with more knowledge of the matter would have to say about plugging a usb-c memory stick directly into your phone.

not really a surprise there, but what OP described was putting a usb-C stick directly into the phone, without any cables or adapters in between, with the question emerging if that is even supposed to work (which in his case didn't) due to possible problems of the pin-layout, etc.

that does not explain his PC suddenly not recognizing his phone anymore though.
at this point it sounds to me like either there still is a driver issue (e.g. the mentioned S4 driver wan't properly uninstalled), or one of the usb ports (phone or pc) has an issue.
try different ports on your PC and make sure other devices work with the ports. if not try if you can get it to work by applying a little pressure in different directions to the cable and listen out for windows' annoying usb sound.
on the other end make sure your phone really is connected correctly to the cable. it should snap in just like the OEM charging cable which took some time getting used to to overcome the resistence of the usb-c port.

Thanks again for your quick reply,
I tried my Samsung Tab II tablet and my old S4 on my PC and they both work as advertised. Recognised right away and I hadn't used my tablet to my PC before. What I think is maybe its the USB on the phone itself?

Hello again,
I Hope you guys like some feedback about my issue. Contacted Google and they asked me just about all the same questions and had me do some screen shots and try some of their ideas such as factory reset, trying other computers and other cables. Nothing worked so they sent me a new phone! Just got it yesterday. Would have been here sooner but I was busy!
So got new phone setup and the computer recognizes my phone on PTP but not MTP. Also my driver for the phone is a generic nexus and the it still shows up as a samsung! How can I get the new driver if when i do a search for new driver my computer says I have the best driver already installed? I don't want the driver to still be a problem. So i hope you guys have some answers. Lol! I know you guys do!!

Where is the USB ADB/Fastbook port of the connected car system?

Pretty much what the title says - I have a FlyAudio G8II system and I've been able to get it to Fastboot mode (which I need because I want to tinker with it a little and need a way of recovery if I screw something up) but I can't seem to find any way of actually connecting it to a computer via ADB - The system has a single type A USB connector, intended to be used for audio playback from USB drives, though peripherals such as physical keyboards also work. I thought that maybe if I try a nonstandard USB A-A cable I may be able to get it to act as a USB device but that didn't work.
My second thought was that maybe it has an additional USB port on the back but I only see a frightening bundle of wires, most of which I have no idea what they are used for.
Is there someone who has a little understanding of this? If I upload a photo of the backside of the system would anyone be able to figure whether indeed one of these wires can be used as an ADB compatible USB port?
Thanks!

Pretty much what the title says - I have a FlyAudio G8II system and I've been able to get it to Fastboot mode (which I need because I want to tinker with it a little and need a way of recovery if I screw something up) but I can't seem to find any way of actually connecting it to a computer via ADB - The system has a single type A USB connector, intended to be used for audio playback from USB drives, though peripherals such as physical keyboards also work. I thought that maybe if I try a nonstandard USB A-A cable I may be able to get it to act as a USB device but that didn't work.
My second thought was that maybe it has an additional USB port on the back but I only see a frightening bundle of wires, most of which I have no idea what they are used for.
Is there someone who has a little understanding of this? If I upload a photo of the backside of the system would anyone be able to figure whether indeed one of these wires can be used as an ADB compatible USB port?
Thanks!

Can you change the USB type setting to "PTP"?
