It happend after I flashed JK5 (I lost track with so many updates)
The phone is not recognized by windows anymore, cannot access odin or anything.
I have another vibrant and is still working so drivers are installed and everything.
The phone does recognize the connection, lets you choose, can get into download mode, but is just not being seen by the PC,
Since the other vibrant connects fine cable is also right, it is a problem strictly with this phone.
I tried flashing other roms, modems, and so on via CWM but problem is not solved.
Any help or ideas will be appreciated
I had the same problem. Someone said try usb debugging, & it worked like a charm.
Applications/development/usb debugging. I hope this helps.
Thanks, I tried that, and all the options for pairing without success

If USB debugging is enabled, it shouldn't give you a choice of usb connection mode. Make sure your USB cable is unplugged when you enable debugging, or else it will just tell you to unplug and try again.

Install Kies .

Turn KIES off from taskbar .
Turn USB debugging on phone connect USB mass storage mode and let windows find driver .
That do work try all the other posts same subject for an alternative .

Tried all of the above, still no go, could it be my micro usb port on the phone is busted? When i tried connecting as Mass storage it says usb cable is connected, pls remove cable.

No thats just incorrect user settings .
Remove cable go to settings Applications Turn on USB debugging .
And?or turn usb mass storage mode on via settings Wireless and network USB settings then connect cable .

Yup, I did. I removed cables and turned on USB debugging, and tried the mass storage mode, upon connecting it says cable connected and to remove.
I'm getting this problem once I'm in Download mode. It's worked before... why would it stop?
Any tips?
I have the same problem
I seem to have the same problem I connect my phone via USB and get a USB Device Not Recognized message but MTP application opens on the phone. This has only just happened I have had it working before since I had the phone on 2 computers and have tried to different cables now it does not work on either computer. If any one has had any luck I would love to know how you fixed it.
Samsung Galaxy S2 - USB Device not recognized.
Hey Guys,
I have the same problem. I've even tried going into "Recovery" Mode and then running odin.. Still no luck. It just does not recognize the phone.
I tried a different cable but still no luck.
Guys,
i had had the same problem until i started to use the original USB cable(came with the phone).
Have a good luck!

Got the same usb problem, different pc's, driver, cables nothing works.
After three month of use no Kies Odin ore mass storage us....big problem
any news info on this? seems to be quite common, though I only get it with stock roms, custom roms dont seem to have this issue
Cables Guy; I'm trying to figure out if I'm having the same problem as you. Does your phone charge when plugged in? Because mine does not.
i think in your case it might be the usb port in the phone itself, if nothing that you plug works well.
I believe there is an issue with kies/MTP and windows drivers for the rest though.
For me my phone doesnt get detected o nmy onboard USB but it does on the usb3 pccard i have.
any good news to solve this problems?
i got the same problem and worst case is my phone cannot detect sim
I had the same problem.. I just switched back to the original cable that came with the phone & problem was solved..

whats your phone kernel? and are u able to connect to pc as usb storage? or did u flash anything weird before?
This is driving me to drink, currently running the powerwashed GB rom (ec09 radio, eh09 rom). no computer in my house (I have 4 ) will recognize my phone, usually nothing happens but sometimes i get a "usb device not recognized" error. Tried 3 different cables. Never had problems before. Can anyone help?
Did u try changing from kies to mass storage in usb settings?
yes it has no effect. The Samsung Drivers are installed on all my computers btw also. Restarting the phone while plugged in doesn't help, toggling USB debugging doesn't help.

have you tried cleaning the usb port on your phone? Compressed air, contact cleaner, or denatured alcohol with a q-tip etc... sounds like a connection issue.
Yea tried that, no dice. Sometimes i can get the "usb connected" to come up on the phone but when you select to copy files from your computer the phone acts like its connected but the computer does nothing. Heck i even tried another sd card
Right before I had this rom on the phone I had flashed back to stock ED05 and it worked fine.
The only thing I can do is connect thru bluetooth, but I need a download connection to odin anything. Is there anyway to delete this Samsung Kies off my phone?
For me info if I keep my phone plugged in and restart the phone windows picks it up but gives a warning that the USB device is not recognized. If you try and re install the Samsung USB driver it says its already installed.
Finally got it, it was definitely something in the GB software. Was finally able to odin eb01 then to ed05 on both of them plugged in with no problems. Now on CM7.
Yeah, so i've read plenty of topics about USB problems, but none gave me the
anserw.
I'm running Villain ROM 3.0. I just cant connect my phone to the computer (Mac).
It work well before also after flashing Villain.
What i tried:
1. connecting my phone without usb debuging ->phone gives the sound and report in the notification bar : "MTP - initializing" then "USB Connected, MTP-connected" But it does not gives a connection with my mac.
2. Connecting my phone with usb debuging ->phone gives the sound, but nothing happens. nothing in the notification bar neither on the computer. It's strange becouse before it was making the same sound and giving me the info in the notification to connect.
3. I've also tried KIES air it works fine. i can see my phone content, but when im trying to send one file (130mb) there is no reaction to this.
Also some time ago i was able to get usb working by simply choosing usb debuging and restarting phone.
But now i have no acces to my storage
Please help
I have a similar problem.
When I connect my SGSII to my PC (with USB Debugging On) I see 2 Removable Drives in Windows' Explorer. If I click on either one I get the "Please Insert Disk". If I connect to the same USB with USB Debugging off, then Kies Starts but does not connect.
Now the weird bit, if I do the same thing in the next USB port, then everything works fine.
Going back to the first USB slot then the problem reappears.
The 2 USB slots are next to each other and go back to the same controller on the motherboard. I have removed Kies and reinstalled Kies. I have uninstalled all the drivers. I have even changed the USB cable. When I plug a USB External Hard Drive into either USB, it works fine.
Maybe the phone just likes the one connection per computer. I'll have to test that out in my work's PC.
Update:
managed to get a microUSB cable and tested it on my work's PC. Exact same situation. Both PCs run Windows XPpro.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Now, when you said that, i checked with my second usb por, and everything works fine .
So thanks for your help. One working with sgs2 usb port is enought for me
So when i try to connect my galaxy to the computer nothing happens. i plug it in and it will start to charge but the phone will not have recognized the fact that it is connected to the computer and the computer doesnt even say "unrecognized device" how do i get the phone and omputer to recognize each other?
Did you install drivers for the phone? What operating system are you on?
yes i have. ive tried both osx and windows 7 and i have made sure to download teh drivers for each
Have you tried to connect it in usb debugging mode? (goto settings, applications, devlopment, check debugging mode?
(I dont know of it will help, but it would be the next thing I would try)
And try different usb ports. I have heard before that it can help.
yeah ive tried all of that it and still nothing, the switching usb ports too
Did you restart the computer after you installed drivers?
I would try installing Samsung Kies (from samsung website, GS2 support page). It also installs drivers and fixed a problem I had with connection.
If all these don't work, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry. I am sure someone here with more experience will be able to help.
yeah haha ive done all of these unfortunately and still nothing, thank you for you suggestions though
Kies had an update within the hour of New years (Pacific).
I discovered this morning that USB debugging mode MUST BE OFF for Kies to recognize and connect to the phone. I'm currently backing up my device in this mode right now.
"Kies Air" also works well, without having to worry about any USB issues.
"Droid Explorer" connects fine with debugging turned on. I have to wait until backup is complete to see if it works with debugging turned off.
I'm having USB port issues right now, so your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps.
Hi, I have a Galaxy Player 4.0 that I rooted with SuperOneClick. It was working fine at first then a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my PC no longer recognizes it as a device, it just charges when I plug it in. So, I looked around andn tried a few things:
Restarted it several times
Tried with all the different modes in USB settings
Tried with different cable
Tried with two other computers, a Mac Mini and a Win7 laptop
Tried to unroot, couldn't get that to work
Did a factory data reset
Nothing works. I can't remember anything I did since rooting that would cause this, except I installed the Samsung Kies driver on the PC. I can't remember if the USB mass storage was working after Kies. Does anyone have other ideas?
Bump. This is rather a big deal, as I cannot transfer files between my PC and Galaxy player in any way other than over WiFi, which does not work reliably. I don't have a microSD card adapter either.
You might want to check if anything related to samsung/android appears in the device manager. Alternatively, to use heimdall I use Zadig to switch from samsung's driver to libusb but it does show you everything connected to your computer via usb when you check the option to list all devices. You should try this with and without usb debuging enabled. If nothing shows up you know it id your player that is at fault.

Thanks,
The first time I plugged it in without USB debugging enabled nothing showed up, when I enabled USB debugging, in Zadig and Device manager there showed up an unknown device, trying to update driver in Device manager showed that it already had the best driver, and in zadig driver replacement failed. Now, when I plug it in, either with or without USB debugging enabled, nothing shows up anywhere. I have tried with other computers and other cables, and nothing works, so I am pretty sure it's the player. I am willing to to a complete factory system reset, but I don't know how.

I'm having the same problem with my rooted 5.0. Although it's not a huge problem for me (I use dropbox for file syncing) I would love to sort this out, let me know if your factory reset works!
You can find it in the Privacy section of the settings menu.

I suspect you have a faulty usb connector on your device, but it doesn't hurt to do a factory reset. But you might want to backup your data first Did you try to jerk the usb cable in your player? A loose/broken connector would explain all your problems. Even if it is a software problem, I can't see how to flash your device with the original firmware since you don't have a sdcard & usb doesn't work...
Btw, I was referring to zadig only to show the devices attached to your computer, not to change the driver!

Thanks, I only tried to change the driver because it showed no driver already installed. I have a bit of electronics background so I may crack it open and take a look at the connector. I already tried the factory reset in the privacy menu, but that only wipes data apparently, not the system. I do have an sd card, I just don't have an adapter to the PC.
EDIT: After wiggling the cable around a bit, it showed the USB icon in the status bar, so I clicked connect USB mass storage, but the computer still showed a badly installed driver and then after some more wiggling the icon disappeared, so I am pretty sure it's a problem with the connector. BTW, how would I flash the stock firmware to unroot?
