Almost all usb protocols screw up - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

My Kindle Fire HDX 7 (thor) is was rooted using kingroot on fire os 4.5.5.2, unlocked bootloader, twrp installed, and Lineage 13 installed. Everything is fine except that almost all usb protocols are screw up. The only one that does work is charging.
When I plug it into my pc (win10) it keeps appearing on the taskbar with the unrecognized usb device logo and then half a second to 2 seconds later it disappears and my pc makes the disconnected noise. Then .5 to 2 seconds later it will reappear with the unrecognized usb device logo and disconnect and repeat infinitely. Therefore, no mtp or adb. I've settled for wifi file transfer and haven't had to use adb yet, but I need mtp soon for larger files, and I need adb for other stuff soon too. Now. Fastboot, on the other hand, does sorta work. It shows up as an unrecognized usb device, but doesn't show up when I do "fastboot devices". I've done tons of research and tried so many solutions, and it's not a problem with my cables or pc. The problem is with the kindle. I hope very dearly that it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. One extra important detail: in developer options when I change the USB configuration to mtp it changes it but only shows the change when it I go out of developer options and back in. Then when I press any other option it automatically reverts it back to charging.

Well, first step is to try a Nougat based rom such as AEX, Lineage 14.1 or Resurrection Remix. Obviously backup your current config before flashing a new ROM. Good luck.

Help!

I'll try Resurrection Remix and AEX, but LN 14.1 definitely doesn't work. I just flashed a stock 4.5.5 rom via twrp and that's what I'm currently using. With stock rom it shows up as an unrecognized usb devices but now it at least stays and doesn't keep dis/reappearing. Still no adb or fastboot. I can't find I way to change it to an mtp device in device manager. PLEASE HELP!

In most ROMs (can't speak to FireOS v4) ADB toggle is in Developer Options. Switching between modes is usually accomplished via notification toggle or separate setting. Unrecognized but otherwise functional device scenarios are almost always traceable to crappy cables, Windows drivers or direct/indirect use of a USB hub that doesn't carry the data signal. More exotic causes involve a bad port or other hardware fault. I am not aware of any firmware toggle that would persist across system partition wipes and installation of different ROMs from varying Android generations.
I have had consistent good luck using drivers installed with the following package (don't need to use/launch...just install). Look for Moto Composite variants with the device tethered.

Next day. Went back to dis/reappearing on pc rapidly. Different cable isn't issue same cable works perfectly with NVIDIA K1 tablet, and I tried RR rom. While I tested it and loved the customization of RR, it didn't fix it. The PC driver side of it. In device manager it showed up as Unknown USB device (Device descriptor request failed) and it shows under Universal serial Bus Controllers. When I go to update the device as an android mtp or adb or anything, none of the mtp of adb driver options show.

Whether the cable works with another device is largely irrelevant. HDX devices are very picky/sensitive with tethered communications. Been working with these pups for 5+ years and heard many a forceful testimonial about how it can't be related to ports/cables/hosts. Amazing how many communication issues are fixed with a simple cable/port swap. Occasionally joy is found by connecting to a different host.
That said, your device may have a hardware problem. Not uncommon if you picked it up on auction at a bargain price. Keep trying different cable/port/host combinations.

(Running a twrp flashable version of Fire os 4.5.5 https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/twrp-flashable-stock-images-t3194914) I used a different port and it stopped rapidly dis/reappearing! It stays connected... but as an unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed) I think I've isolated the problem on the kindle side. Something is making it think it's a different device. When I change the USB configuration in Dev settings, it does nothing. The computer doesn't see any changes, and when I turn off both MTP and PTP no changes were detected on pc and nothing happened on kindle. The MTP and PTP toggles are nothing more than cosmetic buttons. Is something wrong with the kernel or build.prop and/or system.prop?
If nothing, then please give me a guide on how to completely reset everything to 100% stock. (I don't have safe strap, but do have TWRP)

Likely not carrying a proper data signal due to damaged usb interface or (wait for it...) crappy cables or other hardware issues previously identified. There is no easy path to 100% stock. Highly unlikely any *.prop is involved. Can device be 'seen' while booted into TWRP? Me thinks not which exonerates the .props.

Heck Yeah!
I have the same problem, everything was working fine, until i've managed to unlocked the bootloader, it was a disaster, it charges so very slow and it doesn't recognize my pc anymore, still searching for solutions, anyways this better than a bricked KFH.

[Q] [Solved?] No PC Detection on AOKP ROMs

Ok so I was previously running Hydr0g3n ICS ROM an older version and I had mount problems where only internal sd would mount, but it mounted at least. Occasionally I'd have to reboot my laptop because of no detection but that'd fix it.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago and I installed Resurrection Remix 04/05 but got really weird issues when connecting to my laptop e.g. installing device drivers, failing, usb sounds coming and going, device being recognised then disappearing again. Eventually no response. I reflashed, fully wiped, everything, experimented with drivers. Then plugged it into a mates (newer) laptop and it worked?
Back to mine, didn't work, installed Hydr0g3n ICS 05/05 which ran a lot smoother but still same issues, I repeated the steps above and even after device drivers actually successfully installed, it'd work and then next day no response or detection when plugging in USB. Since then I've gone through the drivers route again, trying all sorts of windows fixes, it still works fine when plugged into a newer laptop.
So after all my research etc I've realised that it seems to be some sort of power issue with the phone/ROM, perhaps the newer laptops have more USB hubs which aren't shared between many devices and so it works but mine is very intermittent if not non-existent. Oh, all other USB devices work, flash drives, external hard drives, I have never had any issues with any USB devices. Just this.
Also, I've tried toggling USB Debugging, and MTP UMS PTP, nothing. Read something about fast charge but have no notification that it's enabled on boot and no option to disable it in Kernel tweaks since I'm not on a supported kernel.
Hydr0g3n ICS ROM 2012 05 05 SGS2
3.0.29 Siyah v3.1.2
Any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE:
I ordered a powered USB hub off eBay, it arrived today and did not work with the phone.
UPDATE 2:
So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.
It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?
I plugged it in and hey presto, it popped up -_-
It's so strange the stock cable works on everyone elses laptops but mine, I don't know if it'll still work tomorrow though, I suppose if I don't re-comment then it still is working.
Bump?

just try 2 flash the latest siyah kernel and check
On Windows 7, after several USB connect-disconnect, I would experience Windows not responding to connection any more on that very USB port.
I usually have adb server running in background, so "Safely remove" feature is blocked, and I would simply remove after file operations are over.
I made a .bat file on desktop, that simply performs "adb kill-server", so that I can safely remove it, and have not experienced this problem since then.

I've tried all of the kernels, Siyah, Thoravukk, NEAK, and multiple versions of Siyah too, including the latest one.
Also my powered USB hub arrived today and it did not remedy the issue.

Could you perhaps explain this a little more to me?
I plug it in and literally it charges but absolutely nothing else happens. Anything else works in the same port, just not the phone for some reason.
USB problems basics .
USB port should be mainboard port .
Usb Port on phone multiple USB problem posts say clean port .
Kies or Samsung USB drivers should be installed with Kies not running .
USB cable try Samsung cable or another .
Try USB debugging off and or on .

1) Yes they are all mainboard ports - No response.
2) Have cleaned USB ports on mainboard many times. This seems irrelevant too since all other devices are recognized.
3) Have also experimented with combinations of this. (All combinations) Nothing.
4) I have only tried the Samsung cable since it's all I have, and it works on all of my friends laptops.
Also, I plug it in, and it draws power (aka it charges) but nothing else. Not even a windows 'bong'. Even with the powered USB hub, it still only charges.
However the minute I plug it into a friends laptop it seems to work just fine.
@ op
goto device manager and uninstall the android devices you see there with the option "delete device drivers completely" and make a reboot.
now install the usb drivers and plug in the device.

This last point tells me there are possibly some registry settings on your computer that are keeping the drivers from loading properly.
I've never had to do this, so I don't know what to look for EXACTLY, but you may need to get a registry cleaner and try to eradicate all traces of Kies and Samsung drivers from your computer, then re-install either Kies (to get the drivers) or the stand-alone USB drivers.
I remember reading another post some time back about some other guy who actually totally re-installed Windows... which is a bit like using explosives to kill a mosquito, if you ask me.
However, try bala_gamer's suggestion first. That may be all that is needed.

Agree that if all fails try reinstall of Kies and drivers after a delete .

So believe it or not I didn't actually go into detail in the op! But a few more things to note are that the device does not show up in device manager at all. Even with shadow device detection enabled. I have used all manner of driver software available to clear out all old usb drivers/any drivers which may be conflicting etc. I have also removed and reinstalled the usb host controllers and root hubs many times

Yes, indeed I also believed it to be some sort of registry problem, I have also used tune up utlities, registry mechanic and ccleaner (I think thats all there was!) and run registry scans/cleans/fixes/defrags. To no avail. I was actually considering reinstalling windows or something.

[Q] GTab not recognized by PC at all

First, let me say that I've searched and searched and looked for all the info I can find about people having similar problems. I've yet to find anything that works for me, and I'm at my wit's end on this...
A few days ago I tried [unsuccessfully] to update CWM on a GTab. I can't get into recovery at all now (it just hangs), but this problem predates that.
The problem I have is that I cannot get any PC to recognize the GTab - in any mode - and I've tried 4 computers with various operating systems. I've tried Fedora, Ubuntu, Windows XP and Windows 7 and none of them will see the GTab at all. They won't see it with debugging on, with it off, in APX mode or anything.
I have gone through half a dozen cables and tried every USB port I've got. It just simply will not recognize the tablet in any way.
I'm toying with the possibility that the port might be damaged, but I can't think of a good reason why that would be the case. The tablet has been well taken care of, and all the other ports work just fine (audio, USB storage, SD).
So, has anybody else run into this issue and found a fix for it?

Read: Only ClockWork recovery on boot
Check dmesg to see if tablet is detected: A self inflicted wound
Also: [Q] (really) bricked g-tab.
If you can't boot the tablet at all--into either ROM or recovery--, then there's nothing you can do if your USB isn't working. If you can boot into one of them, then there's hope.
I managed to get CWM installed (was my bad on trying to flash the wrong one to upgrade it anyway). It's always booted just fine into the ROM, and everything works but the USB connection to PC.
I am actually a Linux admin by trade, so I kept an eye on all pertinent system logs and outputs when I tried it on the Linux box. No dice.

Well, you have to be careful about these things. APX mode, for instance, only "connects" to the host PC once, so if you unplug and replug hoping to see USB device recognition messages from the Linux kernel, then you will be disappointed.
What about on the gTablet? Does the kernel print anything pertinent when the cable is connected to the host PC (enable USB debugging first)? Are there any other error messages or diagnostics?
That's the troubling part. I'm finding absolutely nothing. Nothing at all to indicate there's any kind of issue. My guess at this point is that the USB port must be physically broken. I can't see any other way to make sense of it.
Here's one final suggestion: Open the gtab up and disconnect the battery. Wait 1 minute then reconnect the cable.
See if it helps. (It's for people who can't even boot the tablet into APX mode, but, try it before concluding that it is a HW problem).

Nexus 9, no OS, only TWRP, and can't connect to PC

So... now that I think with hindsight, I did something pretty stupid, and I'm going to need some help, since I have no idea what to do.
I have a Nexus 9 tablet, and I never liked it. The OS is just so slow and laggy, and it overheats, and it has many other problems. Quite a couple of times, I installed custom ROM's and so on, and I never had a problem. Let me explain what I did now.
Around a month ago, while looking on the internet, I heard this thing that if I install the original software, but with no encryption, it would work better. It sounded cool at the time, so I downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit, and did it.
Everything went well. But then I heard about a custom ROM that was apparently working even better, Dirty Unicorns, so using the same toolkit, I installed it. For the first time, my Nexus 9 actually worked the way it is supposed to work, but the custom ROM still had its problems, it crashed from time to time. I was thinking about possibly returning or selling the tablet, so that's why using the Toolkit, I reinstalled the original software. But, if I went all the steps, and also locked the OEM, my device then showed a flag saying that it was a development device, while booting up. So, after messing around with the settings of the Toolkit a little, I decided to reinstall the software, but leave the bootloader unlocked.
But after some time, I reinstalled my Windows, and I also reinstalled the Toolkit. But that's when I started to have problems. My tablet wouldn't connect to my laptop anymore. I used the toolkit and uninstalled drivers, reinstalling others quite a couple of times, and that's where I think that I messed something up. I managed to eventually connect my tablet, and I rooted it, after rooting it, I connected it again. But adb wasn't working for some reason. A little annoyed, I simply copy pasted the zip file of CM13 into my tablet's internal storage, and I rebooted it to the recovery, TWRP. But the recovery failed to flash it, saying something about an Error 7.
Now that I think about it, I was stupid, since after that, I performed a complete factory reset, resetting my TWRP backup too. I tried to connect it again, nothing. It didn't connect at all. I plug it in, my computer doesn't even recognize that something is plugged in. No Nexus 9, no Android Device, no anything. I booted it in fastboot mode, and it worked, my computer recognized it, and after I downloaded a ROM zip file again, I tried to connect the tablet back and flash it manually, but nothing. It didn't recognize anything anymore.
I tried to reinstall the drivers countless times. I deleted what I had, reinstalled it, nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Toolkit. But strangely, now, even if I know that I installed the Google USB drivers, and the ADB drivers, as I even installed Android SDK, if I use USB Deview, it doesn't show me any of them. I can't see any Google or ADB drivers, although I tried installing them multiple times. So now, I'm stuck with a tablet with TWRP and no OS, which I can't connect to my PC, and I can't use ADB or fastboot.
Is it something from my laptop? I can't check to see if it will connect to another PC right now, so I don't know for sure. Is there any way to delete all the traces from my (failed) attempts at reinstalling the drivers, and to install them again properly? Or is it something from the tablet itself? I don't have an OS, so I can't enable USB debugging.
So, shortly, I have no idea what's happening. And I'm quite obviously a noob in all of these. Can anyone help me? Please?
If you boot into the bootloader and from a command prompt type fastboot devices you don't get anything?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I still couldn't get ADB to work, but I managed to work out fastboot. It may be something from my USB cable, it works perfectly.
I flashed the original software back, and I'll go to check my cable, although I feel kinda stupid that I didn't think about that in the first place.
Thanks for the help anyway.
If fastboot is working and bootloader is unlocked, you can still install a factory image.
Depending of your device download for wifi Version:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/volantis-mob30p-factory-2cb57a1b.tgz
If you habe the LTE variant:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/volantisg-mob30p-factory-ae9ce05a.tgz
Extract the files and put them into the same directory link fastboot and execute the flash-all.bat
WARNING: Any data will be erased!!! Also TWRP
Now it should boot up with stock firmware.
If you want your device decrypted install twrp. format the internal storage and flash the pure nexus rom which i can highly recommend and is decrypted by default. Dont forget do flash gapps
my issue is same
what if someone USB- debug is not enabled , is there any possibility to do that , i have a device nexus 9 , rooted it it went into bootloop then i factory reset it , and now my adb is not communicating , if there is any options?

Yup. I can boot into the bootloader, and from there (or from TWRP) into fastboot, but no computer I've connected it to (and I've tried many) will recognize it. Doesn't show up in Device Manger or lsusb, doesn't show up from either "adb devices" or "fastboot list devices" (the latter just hangs there saying "Waiting for any device"). The USB on the tablet itself is fine, and I even replaced the USB daughter-board just to be safe.

Doesn't show up in Device Manger or lsusb, doesn't show up from either "adb devices" or "fastboot list devices" (the latter just hangs there saying "Waiting for any device"). The USB on the tablet itself is fine, and I even replaced the USB daughter-board just to be safe.

Hi, uberSkeptic...
Just a quick thought... Have you tried a different USB cable?
Rgrds,
Ged.
Edit & Additional...
The command is not fastboot list devices... it's fastboot devices
One last point... Ensure your Nexus 9 is definitely booted into fastboot mode and not just HBOOT (the bootloader). Take a look at the two screenshots below - your Nexus 9 should look like the screenshot on the right, the one with my green explanatory text.
Apologies for the poor image quality; there's no way of taking a screenshot in the bootloader, so I had to take photographs instead.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Thanks for the advice and going so far as to photograph the hboot/fastboot screens, but unfortunately I have indeed tried multiple USB cables, including the OEM's and I've definitely successfully gotten the tablet into fastboot but it doesn't show on the computer with either fastboot command (devices or devices list).

I'm out of ideas then.
One of my first thoughts was possible Windows driver problems, but as you mentioned you'd tried it on several different computers, that didn't seem to be a likely cause of the problem - I mean, you'd expect at least one of 'em to work! Maybe somebody else can help with a solution.

Sadly, me too. I even tried using a flash drive with a micro-USB connector on it, which I used to use to do nandroid backups, but now TWRP doesn't even "notice" that the USB drive is there (or any USB drive connected via an OTG cable).
Too bad, too - the tablet is otherwise in great condition and even has a custom-painted backplate (long story).
Thanks for trying to help, though!

Mmm... (scratches head, raises eyebrow quizzically)...
If I was Hercule Poirot and this was a murder case, and with all the suspects gathered in one room, prior to revealing a brilliant deduction... I'd be casting very dark glances in the direction of your Nexus 9's USB port right now as the likely culprit here.
Think about it. Different computers. Different USB cables. An OTG cable... And none of them work. What's the one thing they all have in common?
Answer: The USB port on the Nexus 9 itself, and where you've replaced the USB daughter-board.
Maybe, possibly, that replacement don't go so well. Maybe there's some unknown problem with it. I can't comment too much on this, 'cos it outside the scope of my knowledge - I'm a software guy; circuit boards and dismantling devices to fix 'em isn't something I'm comfortable with. I always think I'm going to damage something or rip a wire out somewhere, so I bow to your superior knowledge in this area, as I may be talking complete cobblers here. It certainly wouldn't be the first time.
Anyway... Sorry I wasn't able to help find a working solution for you. If anything occurs to me that might help, I'll be sure to let you know.
Rgrds,
Ged.
I would be suspect if the replacement as well if it weren't for the fact that I did it only AFTER the other symptoms/problems appeared. Hence the replacement (which is known good because the battery charges no problem). There cables and everything inside the tablet tests just fine... It feels like the firmware for USB is somehow corrupt or something.
Thanks for all the advice, though. ?
So I can't believe I didn't think of this before, but when I run "dmesg" from the terminal app included w/ TWRP, I see that there a TON of errors, mostly referencing problems accessing the recovery image. I could screenshot it, if anyone at all might be able to tell me a little more specifically what the dmesg log is trying to tell me...

H961N - Unable to connect to laptop. Device not recognized.

Hi Guys,
I'm unable to connect my v10 to my windows laptop or any other OS or laptop. I always get an error message saying, USB Device not recognized. However, the only thing I can do is Charge my phone with it. :crying:
About the device,
Android Version: 7.0
ROM: Stock
SW Version: V30a-HKG-XX
I've tried almost everything. The following are what I've tried
1. Rebooting the phone and connecting again,
2. Tried on different laptop/computers, with linux and mac too,
3. Replaced the micro usb port,
4. Fiddled with device manager on windows, uninstalled drivers, reinstalled,
5. Tested with different data cables,
6. Tried connecting OTG usb drives,
7. Booting into Fastboot to see if it gets recognized there,
8. Updated from MM to Nougat,
9. Enabled USB Debugging, under dev options,
10. Enabled MTP, under dev options
All of the above did nothing to solve the problem.
I believe the data cables on the microusb port are fine and there maybe something wrong with the motherboard. Please tell me if I'm correct with this inference. if yes, then what may be done to solve this.
Please guys, suggest what maybe wrong and what can be done to fix it. I'd really Love & Hope it if there is a simple fix to it
Thanks.
Same problem here. The problem started just after the upgrade to 7.0 (via ota). I spoke to lg but i have no warranty because my phone was bought on another country. Hope someone can help.

I think it due to charging port. It may be broken/loose

HDX 7 TWRP, no os, no ADB access [Lineage OS]

Ok, I need to load an OS back to the device ( wiped data/system because girlfriend enabled encryption.....) anyway I've tried the same computer I rooted the thing 2 years ago, installed new drivers and also am in test mode, however
the hdx (when booted into TWRP) never shows up in device manager, and "adb devices" is always empty. I've tried several USB cables, and even a mac computer, anyone lose access to their device and got it back? Any hints?

First verify drivers are working. For whatever reason legacy composite drivers from Motorola seem to work best with this device regardless of platform or host OS. Install the Motorola Device Manager from this page and then switch drivers. No need to launch the utility.
TWRP must be at v2.7 or above for ADB support. If below 2.8.6.0 you should consider updating via fastboot assuming bootloader has been unlocked. See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-t3322547
If still no joy you will have to erase/replace aboot and rebuild the device from scratch. Data loss is likely.
hmm yeah, the main problem seems to be the tablet never shows up in device manager as any device... thanks for the hints though, will try the motorola device manager drivers...

Where'd you get the drivers from? Can you share a link to the ones you installed on your PC? In control panel devices have you tried enabling show hidden devices to see if the tablet is detected but not enabled? What version of Windows?
I haven't tried this yet personally yet but I'm wondering if a live Linux (e.g. Mint) booted on USB thumb drive might be an option. I don't know enough about using a Mac to access the Kindle to offer much in detail there. Have you tried different USB ports on each of these computers? Do other USB devices show up okay?

Read here literally two posts above yours. Where was Linux/Mac ever mentioned? Connectivity on Windows almost always boils down to procedures, drivers and/or USB cable integrity. Assuming the device itself is not toast.

Oh snap, this is a good idea - will try when I get home.
TWRP 3.1.1-1, Win 10 64bit - yeah tested several usb ports on my computer - I originally rooted the HDX with this computer and windows 10 install about 2 years ago [side note do you guys remember reformatting every 6 months because windows was such a pos, I'm really glad those days are long gone!]
LOL yep Windows 10 nowadays does seem a lot more stable than the earlier stuff.

Hi Davey oops somehow I missed that you had already replied a few days ago . cq_ did mention a Mac computer. I suggested testing with a live Linux thumb drive boot in case they have an extra thumb drive kicking around to find out what that OS sees as compared to the Windows and Mac already tried. When reviving my Thor, part of the process I tried was draxie's 1-click, which required Linux and access to the device to do its work, so it seemed like a good to me to try to boot the PC that cq_ is using into Linux. In my case I have Linux Mint installed on a separate SATA hard drive but not everybody has that type of rig, hence the live Linux USB thumb drive boot suggestion.

Fair enough; I may have been a bit harsh in my response. I now see the passing reference to an Apple rig and appreciate the unfiltered perspective often obtained via Linux. That said, there is new info on the table that suggests the OP has access to a Win10x64 box which should connect effortlessly/reliably with Moto drivers and a quality USB cable. Mucking with drivers can be a PiTA on Windows; the Moto variants remove much of the pain - although you still have to select the proper driver after tethering in the target mode (adb or fastboot) as Windows will typically default to Microsoft/stock variants which rarely work with HDX devices.
