Hi guys.
I am hoping to get some help. I flashed a custom rom about 3 weeks ago from my favourite chef as there was a newer version released. After flashing said Rom I could no longer connect my phone via USB to PC. I would get a message on PC saying USB device not recognised or failed. Tried uninstalled Device centre, different USB and PC, but nothing, still the same error. So after all that tried hard reset and Task29. I then copyied the previously used Rom to my SDcard and installed from HSPL bootloader, but still the same.
I have noticed over the last week or so, that when using WinMo instead of Android, my battery will last 3-4 hours from a full charge, with Android I get 7-8 if I am lucky.
The last problem I have is when using WinMo and I want to lock the screen, it will lock and then come back on within 1 seconds time.
Can anyone help?
Thanx
Seg
P.S: I am not blaming the Chef of the ROM for this.
Here's what I would do:
1) run task29 (SD)
2) flash 2.15.50 radio
3) Flash a ROM you KNOW works (NRG, dutty, etc...) from SD
4) Hard-reset right after flash
try to hook up your USB and see if it works.
Go into Bootloader Mode and only then connect the USB cable. Does the 'Serial' change to 'USB'?
Have you tried another USB cable?
Have you tried connecting the USB calbe to the rear USB sockets on the computer?

I have tried all this Fred, to no avail. Different cable, different usb sockets, different pc. Still nothing.
Bootloader mode doesn't change connection type when connected.

Tried all this previously mate, and still nothing. Trying again with a different ROM. I'll post back results.
Thanx guys

Still no joy, tried just about everything now.
The only way the screen will stay off is when it is plugged into charger, other than that it just dims after 10 seconds then brightens back up after 2 seconds.
Looks like the insurance will be gettinga call then.
Damn, this means I will have to use the spare Blackbery Curve we have, gutted.

From a noobie:
Question 1: My original problem is on soft reset my HTC xv6800 hangs at tricolor with "Serial" at the bottom of screen unless the usb cable is plugged in. It will boot to wm6.1 if I plug in the usb cable at soft reset. Then I get no USB connections in WM61, and my PC does not detect the phone at all at the usb port. I'm stuck with inability to do any sync on the phone.
I am hoping if I install a newer radio ROM it might fix the hang at tricolor with Serial, and usb connection problem. Is this reasonable or do these symptoms indicate something more grave?
Can you recommend any next steps?
Have you tried relocking the phone and flashing back to stock rom? Once you have it back to stock, see if it boots normal. If it does, go thru the steps flashing it back to custom and see if the problem comes back.

Since I've had the same stock OS ROM and verizon authorized radio ROM for several months, I assumed the ROMs were not the problem. The problem just began last week or so. What I have done is installed neuSPL2.47 wnd reflashed radio ROM and flashed TitanReloaded1.3.2.
I've checked the cable using a different device and it gets recognized by WinXP. I am now syncing with Activesync in bluetooth, and I've flashed both the OS and radio ROMs... With these steps above, is it apparent or feasible that I have a hardware usb issue on the phone?
The only issues I have are that I cannot power up the phone without a usb cable in the phone - it goes to bootloader without the cable plugged in, and I must sync via bluetooth, which is not a huge issue unless I really want to use usb for connection to PC.
Do you still think the ROMs could be the culprit?
Any ideas on why it would go to bootloader with "Serial" at the bottom unless an active usb cables is plugged in? Does anuyone know what the "Serial" message means?
What happens if you plug in the USB cable after the bootloader comes up, does it change to USB or does it keep saying serial.
It does sound like maybe your USB port is bad, if you get it booted up normally, does it see activesync in windows, does your headset work, etc?
Basically, if you use the cable trick to get it to boot, does the USB port seem completely normal then?

Flash it using your microsd

The port seems dead after bootup, once it gets past the bootloader. It never says USB in the bootloader. Should I see that if USB is confirmed functional? What does "Serial" mean? Activesync does not see the Titan whatsoever when using USB connection after it boots. I sometimes get an error popup at the taskbar in WinXP Pro that says the usb device has a problem...
HI !
I have an HD² with official Operator's ROM and my HD² never sync with my computer.
I want to know if it's possible to Flash everything without any sync (only by SD)?
Thanks a lot for my LEO
settings menu all settings connections connections usb to pc, untick "faster data". restart the pc, restart the phone.
it should now sync fine.
Thanks for the Answer, but I've already do this and the results is the same.
Sorry about my English cause I'm French
Go into Bootloader Mode (hold Volume button down while switching on the phone). You will get a tri colour screen with the word 'Serial' at the bottom of it. Plug in the USB calbe and it should change to 'USB'. If this happens then you can run HSPL and then ROMs - just ignore the conditions about making an ActiveSync connection prior to running.
I've already try this
But not exactly how you say.
I've plug the in the USB calbe when the HD2 was Off, and after loading the bootloader.
And nothing was happen.
Juste the 3 colors and the SPL version but never "USB" or "Serials", serial appears only if I don't plug the cable.
Load it into Bootloader Mode, then connect the USB cable - and see if the 'Serial' changes to 'USB'. If it doesn't, then you have a hardware problem (phone or cable or computer).
I think it's a Phone probleme.
Cause I've a Samsung wave and I havn't any problem with the same cable and the same computer.
Also I can't flash my HD²...

I've already Try on another computer.
I've try with my seven OS, and with XP OS.
The problem is the same.
But when I plug the USB cable, the computer says "unknown Device" and it's the same on different computer with different cable...
I think my HD2 mother card is probably broke for this.
Hi guys, was having a few problems with my phone and decided that I'd flash the stock ROM again.
Went into ODIN as you do, and as I was flashing the stock ROM, for some reason or another I heard the disconnect/reconnect noise that Windows makes when you remove a device then FAIL came up in ODIN.
Now my phone's stuck with a phone connecting to a computer on the charge screen, it can't go into recovery mode but it can go into download mode.
Tried connecting it to my PC in download mode, and even though I've got the Samsung USB Drivers installed I get the 'USB Device Not Recognized' message, which means I can't flash the stock ROM in ODIN anymore.
Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.

Hi!
Hi, you guys install ADB on your system? And also USB debugging mode on the phone?
Should be turned on which can be done by going to Settings>Applications>Development and select USB debugging.
Try this, for me its works

I can't even turn the phone on at the moment. Only thing I can do is go into Download mode.
Help
Try this, take out the battery, then press and hold the ON button for 7-10 seconds (the longer the better). Reinsert the battery, then press ON button to start it. This is a soft reset, and wipes the temporary memory and empties all remaining power in the circuits. This helps on many phones and even laptops that won't start properly or show anything on screen.
If this does not work, try the next step. Again, do as above. But after inserting the battery, do not turn the phone on, but press and hold the ON button and the HOME button at the same time for 7-10 seconds. This is a hard reset, and works best if done after a soft reset. Just be sure the battery has at least some juice in it and isn't empty. If possible, try with another battery if this does not work.
Hope this helps!
Try going to device manager, you will probably find your device as an unrecognized device, uninstall the drivers, unplug and then plug it again and see.
if the prblm is hard then do a fresh installation of kies,device etec etc.....but if u have ur device in the device list on pc then first uninstall it...if possible try recovery mode and reset...
I tried everything you guys have suggested and none of that worked. Anyone else got any ideas?
Try everything (and I mean everything) on the following list. Given the problems you've had & that you've already tried some of these things, I'd try another PC. And if it doesn't work first go on another PC, then go thru the list & try everything on the 2nd PC.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again. Also run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC.
Tried all the above and a different PC.
It didn't work. I could fix the phone if the computer would pick up that the phone's connected - it just doesn't.
Total Removal of KIES including registry entries .
Reboot PC install a new copy of Kies .
Phone backup data and factory reset .
Set phone to USB storage mode using the Samsung cable connect to PC and wait for Windows to find USB drivers .Remove cable reboot phone .
Start Kies connect with cable wait for Kies to find the phone .
Note USB Debugging OFF and cable connects to a direct motherboard port only .
Nothing then only further suggestion would be to Format the PC and start over with a clean Windows install .

I can't turn the phone on, it's stuck on the phone, triangle, PC screen.
I've tried fresh installs on three different PC's.

That's a forced download mode.
Try a blind flash to a stock firmware from Odin while connected to your computer with the phone on this screen. Even if Odin doesn't seem to register that it's connected. I've heard of at least one person this worked for.
At this point, you really have nothing to lose by trying this.
Bit of an update, I plugged it in again and it installed some drivers and ODIN picked it up. Only for it to disconnect a few moments later, now it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting over and over but ODIN's not picking it up.

I know you said you tried a different cable, but that sounds suspiciously like a bad cable.
It's not the cable, thanks any way.
Update 2: I managed to get it to connect long enough to flash the stock Kernel. Still didn't reboot. Then I connected it again and flashed the stock ROM, which bricked it again. Then I flashed the stock kernel and it works!
However, there is a problem:
When the phone gets turned off, it constantly shows the charging battery icon with warning triangle and a thermostat next to it. I can't turn the phone on because of this unless I go into Recovery mode and reboot system.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Now this sounds like a faulty/dirty/bad usb port.

I in no way recommend this, and not sure I would do it if I ever started having this issue...
BUT - I have heard that some people faced with this condition have fixed it by physically moving the small wafer board inside the USB port with a precision screwdriver (gently!) to a more "centered" position.
If that doesn't work, look at replacing that part. Either via warranty service if you still have it, or a service center.
hey all,
I have a BIG problem.
a week or so ago after flashing nightlies as per usual my USB stopped working correctly... It still charges when I have it connected to a charge.
However when connected to a USB cable it does not always charge and NEVER lets the computer detect that phone is connected.
Unless its in download mode or Recovery...
What do I do? I was thinking about reflashing original firmware back on again... but none of its available thru Intratechs forum...
any help?
Thanks
Try a different firmware
Have you tried flashing firmware from another region?
I have tried flashing my original stock firmware.. and nothing
its so strange I can use download mode usb and charging... but nothing else...
it all happned around the time I flashed a Cm9 nightly and the siyak kernel...
I have ordered a usb flex replacement because I can not think whatelse it could be??
The other thing is... I tried this and a couple of times... the MTP / Camera access or media device thing worked for a second but then stopped... its very strange?!
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 4 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect (thanks to napi1 @ androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/447145-sgs2-kies-not-syncing-os-2-3-5-a.html#post3484588)
hi everyone
well like the tittle say.my problems is with a verizon variant i just got.for some reason the phone wont connect to pc
installed drivers and still nothing the phone charges fine when connected but the computer wont even see it,i try 3 different computers and nothing move the usb cable a little to see i f theres any sort of sign of connection but nothing..
i think maybe is a hardware issue but just want to try everything before giving up.
also cant install tot because the phone wont connect to pc
Hi, are you using the original USB cable? After you connect the phone to the PC, have you given the PC up to 10 minutes to load the driver that you had previously installed? Depending on various factors it can take 5-10 minutes, and it has to do it all over again for every new/different USB port you try. After 5-10 minutes when you're trying it in Download mode, see what Windows' Device Manager says in the Modem and Port sections. If it lists "LGE..." device then it sees it.
For flashing from a PC, use a USB 2.0 port that comes directly from the PC's motherboard - not a USB 3.x port, and not through a USB hub.
Try rebooting the phone and the PC while they're not connected to each other.
