[Q] S2 Wierd USB Problems

I have this problem:
Plugging USB Cable:
-charges the phone if plugged during restarting
-replugging the USB while turned on will not charge the phone
-won't bring up the USB screen (works before though)
-it doesnt say "USB not recognized" but it doesn't say anything at all
-works if in Download mode (I can even flash roms)
-won't mount in recovery mode
Plugging a wall charger
-charges the phone if plugged during restarting
-replugging will no longer charge the phone. (This is the most annoying part, I have to restart just to charge the phone)
I have tried on both Cyanogen and Litening ROMs, same behavior
I have the Korean Galaxy S2
I have tried connecting through a different computer and even the PS3, nothing gets recognized

[Q] Help with usb battery problem

My brothers galaxy ace has a problem with the usb port, the phone doesnt show that it is charging when the cable is plugged, also it doesnt show that its connected to a usb, and the computer doesnt recognize the phone. The battery doesnt show the correct percentage but we know its charging because the phone never runs out of battery. The computer or the charger is not the problem because we have checked it with my Ace and it works.
Our option to fix the problem is to wipe the battery stats, but in this phone we have not installed clockworkmod, and we cant root the phone because it has Froyo 2.2.1 stock firmware and we need the usb to root it.
Does anyone knows another method to root this phone, that doesnt use SuperOneClick? (z4root didnt work)
Does the factory reset wipes the battery?
Sorry for my bad english.
why not update to gingerbread first using the wifi update mode?
then reset to factory settings and if this doesn't fix the usb problem take it to service center.
warning, before starting update over wifi ensure battery is fully charged or use the the mains charger.
froyo doesnt has ota update
update with odin or kies
then you can install root and roms

Cant use Odin or Kies because the phone usb doesnt work.
youve got into dl mode then instal kies and install odin then when odin detects phone while in dl mode it can flash it

what a tight situation u got there
its still under warranty or not? if it does, send it to repair then.

tried to upgrade today but

for some reason when i used kies, it suggested to upgrade to the newest version, so i figured since my phone connected why not.
Now after upgrading my sgs2 will NOT connect to kies....
been reading around for about 45 min, and cant seem to find a fix that works.
Anyone on xda here have the same problems? and anyone find a walk around? or solution
Thanks all, looking to try ics!
reinstall kies and dont forget to disable usb debugging in developer options in settings
tried both, still just sits there trying to connect...
Choice take phone to Samsung service centre .
Or from XDA developers forum flash stock rom via Odin .

to save time and bs... do you have a link to the stock ics rom?

Uninstallig kies does not uninstall you samsung drivers. On the PC uninstall kies go into device manager, connect you phone to the PC and uninstall all the samsung drivers. Disconnect the USB cable. Reinstall kies then plug your USB cable back in to the phone and PC. Also try using another USB port, cable or both.

So wait, you don't know what root is?
(⊙_⊙)
Apparently this phone is the SGH-1777... We've had it wrong this whole time!
Have you tried searching these forums and the official AT&T forums? They might have more info you can use since your phone is stock. That or call their Tech Support.
Good luck!

You need to try reinstalling the drivers for the phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Like Phalanx7621 suggested, install/re-install drivers and Kies. If you do have Kies installed on your system, remove it. Then go to Samsung's website, download the latest version, and install into your system. That should take care of your computer not recognized your phone problem. For the random restart problem, it may be a defective battery.
HTH.

Make sure you start Kies before you plug the USB to the phone
Call your carrier because if you haven't made any modifications like most of us do then maybe its a problem for them and they might be able to fix it for cheap or get you a new phone since this doesn't sound like its your fault.

Well, I have this experience while flashing my friend's phone and here what I've done:
-reboot my computer
-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.
-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)
-got few files in that folder. Hope you know their function. Or you can ask here.
Hope this helps.
edit: you also can try to plug into different usb port that have different usb controller

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one
I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%
A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:

Talk to Samsung not us.
Next time do some research into your model and info on how to flash it properley before jumping in and screwing your device up.

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.
Cheers
