Hello everyone,

A couple of weeks ago my USB data connection on my OnePlus One has stopped working.
This means that no connection is even detected on any computer.
This is not a driver issue as the computer doesn't even notice anything has plugged in.

I think it's not a software/ROM issue because the same applies to fastboot mode and recovery mode - no data connection, no "usb plugged in" sound on any computer, no device showing up.

It's also not a cable issue, as the same cable works on other OnePlus One's and I've tried many different known-to-be-working cables.

More facts:
1) When plugging to a computer USB port - the battery icon shows the charging (lightning) symbol for a half a second and disappears and it won't charge. The computer, of course, doesn't see a usb device plugged.

2) When connecting to an AC charger - it charges just fine.

3) I already tried replacing the dock connector and flat cable unit with a new one - did not solve the issue, which means the dock connector is fine.

Any insight on this will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

So after much flailing, I think I understand how to manage updates... but I'm not sure. I currently have root and Xposed installed on 5.1.1.

My plan when the next update comes:
1. get the factory image from google
Unzip the zip.
Inside that, there is the image-shamu zip, which I'll also unzip.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxx-shamu.img

from twrp
Reroot and reboot
boot back to recovery and install Xposed again.

Is that about right? what am I missing here?
