Mine came back from RMA and they changed usb port.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSopranos16:
My USB also doesn't get recognized and that youtube video doesn't apply to me since windows doesn't even think anything has been plugged in. I don't get a chance to work on drivers for this. I don't think my port is bad since OTG cable works fine. I'm afraid to factory reset because if that doesn't fix the USB port, I'll lose root and have no way to get it back without a working USB. At least now with a custom recovery I can still flash roms that I download from the tablet itself.

Any advice? Has anyone else had the USB port working for OTG but not when you plug it into a computer?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill235:
Here's a thought. I recently had to reset my Nexus 7 2013. With the nexus restored to` a factory setting, Windows 7 immediately rrecognized it as a Nexus and file transfer was fine.

I then rooted it with Wugfresh toolkit. With Wugfresh toolkit drivers installed, it obviously could connect with the nexus to do the rooting etc. After that, with the toolkit closed, Windows can no longer see the nexus when attached by oem usb cable.

I think this is a scenario common to many here. The question is why.

- Do the adb drivers conflict with the drivers needed for standard usb connection?

- The wugfresh toolkit makes you delete a lot of Google drivers before installing the drivers it needs. Is that maybe why?

- Does rooting do something to make connection difficult? (Don't think so. Once the proper drivers are installed usb connection works fine with a rooted tablet BUT adb no longer does).

Maybe someone knowledgeable could help explain.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
Could it be because you had not used that pc to root with and therefore had not deleted drivers to replace them with adb drivers? So that laptop still had the default Windows usb drivers?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadesse:
Well I plugged in my Nexus last night to copy over a couple of movie files & my computer wouldn't see it. I don't think it is a computer problem because my Nexus isn't recognized on three different computers & two OS's. When I plug my Nexus into the computers USB it says it is charging so I would say that is a good sign. I have also tried 3 different cables too so I doubt that it is a cable issue.

My Nexus totally stock & not rooted. So, aside from sending it in are there any other options that I can try? Post have suggested that you delete the drivers & let them reinstall. However the drivers don't ever show in the device manager until your Nexus is connect to the computer. I verified this with my FT101 because I wasn't seeing any android drivers in the device manager. As soon as I connected my TF101 the driver popped up.

Thanks

Just shipped mine off today. Called in yesterday to get an RMA number because I couldn't register it online. My serial number kept coming up invalid. Finally, after getting an RMA number, determined that what I THOUGHT was a zero turned out to be the letter "O". :o

Hopefully, I'll get my fixed/replaced N7 back soon. I still have my RAZR HD phone, but reading books and magazines is SO much easier on the N7.

Found a solution!!

Hello. I too faced the same problem.

I solved this by doing as below:

1. disconnect nexus from computer

2. go to settings < storage < on the top right there will be a button to show options. select USB computer connection and select MTP option in it

3. connect your nexus to computer

4. enjoy

:good:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Unfortunately, none of that worked. I was stuck in APX mode and couldn't get out. Somehow, the bootloader or something got overwritten or trashed. Not sure how as I've done reimaging of the N7 multiple times with the N7 toolkit, so I'm not sure how this happened, unless it's because I upgraded to KitKat, but with an unlocked bootloader, I should be able to go back to a previous version.

Anyways, it's in Texas now with ASUS. They got it Friday of last week, so now I'm waiting for feedback from them on what's next.

A possible solution

Hi!

First of all I'm sorry for my bad English :)

I have the same USB hardware problem with my Nexus 7 2012. Since I pluged my Nexus 7 in a third party AC adapter, it didn't working properly in bootloader or recovery mode. I using mac osx and ubuntu, so this is not an usb driver problem. I read this thread, but sadly there is no working solution to the problem... until now :)

Follow these steps:

- Plugged your device in your Official AC adapter

- Go to the Settings/About tablet/Status and check Battery status or if you have Dashclock widget and Battery extension check the status there.

- If my device is not working properly then my Battery status is "Charging (USB)"!!!!! If the device work properly then the Battery status is "Charging (AC)" when I charge it from AC.

- You have to drain your battery completely. The best if your device power off automatically when its power gone.

- Plug your device into your computer or in its Official AC adapter and charge the battery to 100%

- Plug out the USB from your computer, and power on the device.

- Plug in the device in your computer, and thats it. In my case these steps helps me. Not a permanent solution, because if you plug the device in a bad adapter or usb hub, then the problem came again.

After this "repair" I could install the new KitKat factory images on my device with fastboot.

I hope I could help!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kodde:
Here's an update on my case. I've had problems with the N7 not being recognized by a computer nor charge by a 12V cigarette USB adapter for a car. The common factor in my case has seemed to have been trying to charge the N7 with a 12V cigarette USB adapter for a car. Before using trying this the unit worked well, after trying in the car, not working properly.

I've had it RMAd twice and this time when picking up the service report fromt he repair shop listed that the motherboard had been switched AND replaced "IO port". I don't remember them replacing the IO port on the first repair.

Anyways. My initial testing today have been successful. Using 4 different USB adapters, both the with engine off and on. Used my LG G2 phone as a reference device as well. For both the N7 and the LG G2 only 2 of the chargers worked, one listed at 5VDC and 2.1A, the other no specs listed at all. 2 USB adapters failed, one of them listed at 5VDC 1.0A and the other one no specs listed. This seems to add up well in my mind as these newer deviced both need an amount of 2A or more to charge properly from what I understand.

After charging in the car I also tried connecting my N7 at home to my PC and Laptop, worked fine on both. So far so good. This is better than before as this scenario has never worked before.

So anyone who has this error. Maybe try to get your IO port replaced?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Thanks for the tips, but this wouldn't have worked for me. Nothing ever came up on the screen at all. No matter what I did, there was no boot logo, nothing. Hooking it up to the PC, you'd hear the sound that it found a USB device and then within 2 seconds, a different sound and device manager would say there was an unrecognized APX device attached. Updating the drivers for APX and that resulted in nothing. ADB and FASTBOOT couldn't see the device, so I had no way of flashing anything to the device. It was dead in the water. Not sure why. It just all of a sudden happened.

But hopefully, anyone else that can at least get something to come up on their screen will be able to use these tips. They just aren't applicable to what my situation was and any one else that has the same issues that I have: nothing on the screen period.

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, mine changed to "SHIP" status as well.

We'll see if/when I get it back.

UPDATE: Got a response back from ASUS tech support. They stated that the motherboard was replaced and that they are shipping it out to me. Wish it would hurry up. I miss my tablet a lot!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fl0pp3r:
Worked (with additional actions)

Switching OFF USB debugging did in the end work as the last action in a long series of steps....unfortunately I can't remember them all! Serious persistence was required....

I installed the Google USB Drivers (which you can download) for devices such as the Nexus 7. I remember having to ENABLE USB debugging initially on my Nexus 7 device in order to achieve this though which was it's own minor secret: you have to hit 'Build Number' 7 times in the 'About Device' section of settings on your device in order to access "Developer Options"!! I kid you not...). This succeeded in enabling 'ABD Android Device' in Windows Device Manager...

But I still had an MPT (!) error in Device Manager....tried installing Windows Media Player v11, tried installing Media Transport Protocol pack....no joy (or it may have helped, who knows.

Final step was 'unticking' (ie disabling) USB Debugging on the device -> device was recognized by Windows, auto-update of driver using Windows Update search.

*** me!!! This was way too hard for a relatively new Google Device............good luck.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedwards:
Got mine back (5 days ago) and it's the same device, but they put stock and relocked it (which I'm fine with because I can just do the OTA for 4.4). Very good repair service from Asus!

EDIT: Forgot to mention they replaced the I/O assembly so it now works again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabletConnect:
I have tried everything but my computer doesn't recognize my Nexus 7. Why can't this device be easily detected? I tried two different computers running Windows 7. ADB works and seems to recoginize Nexus 7 but I cannot access the files on the internal storage.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I got this to semi work using Weg's Root tool kit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p5auser:
I succeeded connect to N7 via USB cable. I disabled USB debugging mode. Check MTP mode. Go to device manager- Android Phone, then if it shown ADB..... or Nexus......, just delete it and check delete device driver. After that, re-plugin the N7. Let the system catch the latest driver automatically.

My N7 was shown as Nexus 7 in portable device not in Android Phone.

My OS is Windows7 SP1 64bit traditional edition.

Sorry for my poor English.:p
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetalMan2:
I too had this issue about a year ago.

OTG worked, OTG + charging worked (USB ROM / Timur's kernel), charging worked, but PC connectivity didn't work.

I got by for a few months by using Air Droid to transfer files, but obviously I had no fastboot (ADB wireless would have worked, but you can't flash bootloader / recovery in ADB).

Then I bought a N7 with cracked screen that still worked, backed up my tablet, swapped the motherboards between the 2 N7's, restored my setup to the replacement mobo, and all has been fine for the last 9 months or so :)

But I may have had to pay more for mobo replacement than I did for the cracked-screen N7.

iFixit has a good N7 teardown guide as well.

Dear All,

Actually came across two solutions

1--> Click on the you tube link below which clearly explains step by step of debugging this issue

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LirXNHRsGJE

but unfortunately this solutuion didn't work for my Nexus 7 (2012) :(:(

2 --> Found this solution in our forum itself

This time after setting up the tab and setting the MTP file toggle and USB settings correctly......The Win7 laptop worked find and recognized the N7 just like it did on the first tab. But now the WinXP desktop did not work and only saw the N7 as a ABD device.

You may already have the correct drivers (if not those are available here in several posts). You just have to direct windows driver update to the correct place for the MTP driver. Here is how i did it.

1. Open up the Device Manager on your PC and locate the Android device it sees. Select the update driver option and you get to the "Welcome to the Hardware Update Wizard" screen.

2. In this window it asks "Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?" Select the 3rd option ' No, not at this time"

3. In the next window "This wizard helps you install software for...." Select the 2nd option "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)

4. In the "Please choose your search and installation options" window... go down to the bottom and select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" option.

5. Now finally the window we need..... "Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware" The "show compatible hardware" button should be selected...if not check that box. You should see 2 choices in the "Model" area..... Google Nexus ADB Interface" and what we need to select " MTP Device" click on the MTP Device and hit next......it should install and your Nexus 7 should then show up properly.

Hope this works for all that have had a hard time as I did....I just found it odd after getting a replacement N7 my XP desktop did not recognize it as it did to the original one I used the day prior.

And this worked for me !!!! The relevant URL for this is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44809563#post44809563

Hope now many of issues are fixed

Try the Galaxy S3 USB cable

After spending hours trying the Nexus 7 oem usb cable in every port on my Inspiron laptop (USB 3) and playing around with installing and uninstalling drivers, the only thing that worked for me was to use the Samsung Galaxy 3 OEM USB cable. The one that came with Nexus 7 will charge, but absolutely no other kind of connection. I also tried some OTG cables with no success.

Your only choice is to RMA a your device. The are quite a few poeple in this thread giving advice without actually fully understanding what the problem is. These solutions as you found out do not work. I just received mine back last week & had uninstall my previous drivers. Then let them reinstall. My device wouldn't show up on my computer after I received it back. However when I plugged in the USB I did hear the ding so I knew it was sort of working.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fimfadimpa:
Unfortunatelly my Nexus 7 (2012) was on RMA and they didn't accept it, because they found oxidation inside device - on logic board...I have absolutely no idea how it got inside it, because it never didn't get in contact with water :(...so I was OK with non-functional data sync. But after next month it also stopped charging battery. I've tried to change I/O logic board from another unit, but without positive results. So it's really bad logic board and in my country is nearly impossible to obtain used part. So I had to sold it (fortunatelly for pretty good price) and now I'm looking for LG G Pad or something else with Snapdragon 600 or 800. I definitely don't want any tablet from Asus in future!

I just picked up a Nexus 7 2013 32gb for $180 :D.

I've been searching for hours on how to connect to my PC (Win7) via USB and it was pretty annoying but finally found a solution. A real solution.

Download the usb drivers from Google.

Follow these steps from Asus but on step 8, select "Have Disk" and point to the directory for the Google drivers you just downloaded. (Android Composite ADB Interface)

That only allows you to switch between MTP and PTP connections. You need the right drivers and install them correctly to connect to your PC via MTP and browse the file structure. I was able to connect via PTP but it only allowed me to see DCIM dir.

Yea, this wasn't the final solution but my lappy wasn't even recognizing the Nexus 7 at all, I didn't know how to switch between MTP or camera mode. Although it took for me to update adb to 1.0.31 & update the drivers to finally get it working.

After updating my nexus 7 2012 to Kitkat 4.2.2 it was not detected on my windows 7 laptop as a MTP mode. However PTP mode was working fine. After searching numerous websites I found the solution.

A fix

So I encountered this same issue (after a week of being angry for buying one used and this occurring after I flashed a new rom) but persistence and the right search landed me on a fix that at least in my case worked flawlessly. Basically plug it in, uninstall the adb driver and let it install the nexus 7 again, if that doesn't work uninstall it again. After that it worked for me, make sure you tick the box for deleting the driver. Works on my Windows 8 PC and my girlfriends Windows 7 laptop.
