Galaxy s5 usb malfunction

[anon(5694754)]

hi all,

Having since I updated my S5 with some carrier update the usb has started not to work, The only thing that works is charging I cant even flash the firmware as it wont even connect. I have tryed installing the driver manually and tryed using kies to get it working still no result.

I have tryed multiple cables and 3 pc's. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Could it possibly have happened after the recent slew of Windows Updates which included an erroneous update? See my post here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-5/427074-nexus-5-connecting-via-usb-wrong-device.html

I formated my laptop and never installed any updates still the same.

Could I flash the stock rom using the SD card method?

Let me check with people who know Samsung devices better.

If you are rooted, and are willing to pay $5 for the Mobile Odin app, yes. You can't flash it through a custom recovery.

Not good

So I take it you're not rooted?

No, and I'm guessing it's not easy unless it's done via USB right?

Yeah, for most methods you need to plugged into a computer. I'm not aware of any currently working ones which don't require it.

Any suggestions to going forward.. Sent it back to Samsung?

Hmm. Yeah, as long as the device hasn't been damaged that should be covered under warranty
