Hello everyone, long time reader, first time posting on these forums! Well today it seems I've backed myself into a problem that I have not been able to solve by just reading around..!
So I made my first attempt at flashing a kernel to my Galaxy Nexus today, the latest release of franco kernel. I did not even permanently flash the kernel, I just ran "fastboot boot boot.img" to test it first. Well the OS booted up fine, but only later did I notice that my phone was not charging. I rebooted the phone, reverting to the stock kernel, cleared the caches, etc, but the charging problem persisted. I restored back to my latest nanrdoid, no luck. I even tried a full factory wipe and still no charging.
While the phone will connect to my PC for fastboot, it is NOT recognized in adb anymore. No it is not the PC drivers. It worked this morning, and just in case, I have uninstalled/reinstalled and mix/matched all the Samsung/Google drivers from the manufacturers website, from KIES, and from PDANet. The phone shows up in device manager while in fastboot, but as soon as I boot into clockworkmod recovery or boot the OS from there, Windows makes the disconnect noise, and acts like nothing else ever reconnects, driver or not. No it does not tell me there's an unidentified device or anything. It's just like it's simply not there.
I'm also certain that it's not the charger or USB cable, since it does connect to fastboot, and I've tried different cables/chargers/batteries anyway.
To make things simple, I'll just list the things I've already tried:
-Reinstall Drivers/Rebooting with/without phone plugged in, etc etc,
-Restore to previous nandroid backups
-Factory Wipe
-Clearing both caches, format /system and /boot and restore
-Update from .zip to recently leaked ICS 4.0.4
-Fully flashing another kernel (franco kernel, and leankernel, neither fixed the issue)
-Flashing custom roms, including Cyanogenmod and a few others listed in the clockworkmod website.
I've tried just about everything I can think of.. I am rooted and my bootloader is unlocked obviously. Any suggestions? Should I be counting out dollars for a new phone, or am I being stupid and doing everything completely wrong? Please tell me I am!
