So my USB port is somehow not working with data on my vibrant. It worked intermittently but now I cannot connect to my pc or other pcs at all. I think I may have bent something, not sure. But the real question is, can I flash GB bootloaders via another method then ODIN. something like SGS kernal flasher? or am I SOL. I read on the Simply Honey 3.8 rom thread that people were going from simply honey 3.3 to 3.8 without loading the GB bootloaders.
Thanks!
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
Yes, the reason why I think my usb port is broken because sometimes I can get a connection if I hold the cable a certain way when connecting to the pc but when I let go the pc reverts to usb device not functioning. Not good, and hard to reproduce.

you dont need to bootloaders to do it, i dont trust odin so i dont have them
i flashed 3.3 from 2.8 then 3.8 in the cwm app then any addons with rom manager, everything seems to work fine for me

When your phone is plugged in, does it indicate it's connected to the PC or both of them don't acknowledge it?
Sometimes the phone acknowledges it, sometimes it doesn't. This is what makes me think it may be a problem with the port.

Use a different computer and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, let me know so we can try to figure out what's wrong.

I get the message when i connect the x10 to the pc "usb device not recognized" i´ve tryed other cables and uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them. Even anoher pc. but i get the same message where ever i try.
Is it possible that some of the pins are broken?
Is this something i can fixed on the warranty?
If so, even if i have installed a custom rom?
------
I turned the phone in and they replaced the SWAP-Unit. All on warenty! When i turned the phone in i asked the dude there about custom rom and repairs, he said it dident matter aslong as its something wrong with the hardware and not the software ofcaurse
Can u run the phone on flashtool or SEUS from SE on the computer? Or is the phone not reconized on that either?

Then you propably got broken usb connector or your IC controler on motherboard stopped working. If you look at your connector and all the pins just looks fine then connector is really ok. Now, it is surely IC controller. You have to send your phone on warranty, and you are going to receive a new one. Yes, a new phone. There is no other way to fix this. And from what I know, you don't have to bother about different ROM installed. No one else bothers bout it too.
edit:
Oh BTW, if this happened now, then propably in short time you will loose ability to charge your phone VIA USB connetected to PC, if not immedietly then after this charging won't be possible at all, even with AC charger.... So... be prepared.
No my connections looked fine but on metering from the USB connector to the filtering circuit it was open circuit I flowed solder on the joint I then had continuity reassembled and all worked great, no need to go to the interface circuitary. I am saying if the system cannot read the voltage drop across the shunt resistor it cannot control the current and will not charge.

Since u guys are discussing this, I wanted to know how does one disconnect the phone from the the PC.what is mount and unmount?? Will it harm my device in anyway??? Which is the safest mode to connect it to PC??
first, try a different usb cable, I had the same problem. as for the mounting problem, should have made a new thread, but you should mount usb to transfer files, but no need to if just charging, but be sure to unmount or else you could corrupt your sd card, and it also creates another drive on your computer if you don't 'safely remove usb' after unmounting

My phone recognizes that it's plugged into the laptop, but my laptop never sees the phone. I can't connect Odin, or even see the memory card. I've installed the correct drivers many times now. Is this symptomatic of a bad cable? I would think that if the cable was bad the phone wouldn't recognize the computer either, but I'm new to this.
Try to clean your ports and use the og cable with your fascinate.

Are you on a 64 bit Windows? This has been a problem with Odin and Heimdall not recognizing the correcut Samsung USB composite device. You could try uninstalling the drivers, then reinstall them using compatibility mode of XP or something like that if you are using Windows that is.

Depending on what your friend was running, yes, you need to install the drivers so that when you connect your pc recognizes it. It's not bricked, no worries... keep calm.
I made a post with the drivers, but you would likely find it faster with a quick google search.

What I've found is that 9/10 its the USB cable when the computer doesn't recognize the device. I'd check it first. Now a better question is what did you do to your friends phone to brick it with out it being plugged to the computer in the first place?

in addition to what you said, sometimes, pluggin it in a different usb works too.
Agreed!
The damn cables suck! Almost 1/2 need to be replaced eventually, and it makes you question the integrity of the device itself. They should make better cables or provide you with 2 when you purchase the phone.
Me and my husband both have Verizon fascinates and mine has aokp m6 glitch..no probs...my husband is plain stock and he's been losing service and whatnot so i was going to reboot his rom still with stock
Now the problem...i can't get the PC to recognize his phone...reinstalled drivers etc...works for mine though...when i tried Odin the phone would go into download mode but Odin would not add it...but will mine...any ideas if why this may be happening?

I'll prob just try messing with it some more being i was in the middle of the woods at 2am camping when i was trying to get it to work...maybe I'll have better luck...i know the phone got soaked but it was fine till like 2 weeks after when it started losing all carrier service until it would reboot itself

I had the same issue with my fascinate. I discovered it was the cable.(my phone took a bath to. Last the vibrate but still runs like a champ) I ended up using my wife's kindle cable I tried like 4 til the kindle cable redeemed me from ics envy. Also, to get Odin to see your phone and trick windows 7 to install some generic "universal USB driver" you have to...
1. Launch Odin (I'm using version 3 something)
2. Connect phone to computer.
3. Power down phone.
4. 3 finger into stock recovery.
Odin should at this point see the port to his phone.
I had to do try everything til I discovered this. Also have you used mass storage or media sync with on his fascinate? Those are some drivers that the fascinate installs to get the path from phone to computer working.
Let me know if it works

My I777 has been acting up lately, and now I'm out of options and wondering what my next move should be.
For several days when I'd connect the phone to the PC via USB, it started saying "this device can perform faster when on a USB 2.0 port..." - which, my ports ARE 2.0.. transfers were taking forever. Now, anytime I plug it in it simply says "USB Device not recognized" - I've tried the OEM cable, the plethora of other cables, 4 different PC's... *ALL* have the same result.
My concern is with a custom ROM on it and no way to get any PC to recognize the phone to get it back to root - how should I proceed from here for warranty purposes? I've only had it since March - just wondering what's gonna happen at this point - or is this even fixable? All the threads I've seen say it needs replaced... but with no way to unroot, etc., I'm just unsure how this is gonna go.
Thanks for any advice.

You can always use Mobile Odin to flash back to stock since your on a custom ROM.

Absolutely NOT.
This is a situation that's been coming over a period of time, starting with the inability to see it as a USB 2.0 device when initially plugged in, and now has deteriorated to the point that it can't even be seen.

Yeah, I sure did - nothing. Even in recovery, it won't "mount" usb there either.
Samsung's have a crappy USB port. It fails sometimes. You have a hard time charging at all?
But like I stated above, even without a computer connection you can get Mobile Odin and flash back to stock, as long as your rooted.
I'm having this same issue. I just got the phone earlier this week and I am unable to get bit connected to my pc to root or Odin. I have installed and uninstalled Kies multiple times on two different computers, tries different ports, and checked if the cable worked by using another phone (PC recognized without an issue). I get the USB not recognized or the 2.0 USB message. If I enable debugging, I can connect regularly and transfer files through windows explorer. But if I use USB debugging off, then nothing will work. I've tried using odin and it will just get stuck at setup connection or cache.img and then I'd have to pull the device. I've tries updating through Kies when it shows the USB 2.0 message but once the S2 hits download mode then the computer stops recognizing it. I have also tried installing the i777 drovers on the Samsung website and its still a no go. Does anyone know how to fix this? Its not rooted so mobile Odin won't help me now.

It is the OEM cable that came with my Samsung Infuse. It worked with the T989 3 days ago and it's not working with my i777. Its strange because I tried it with my infuse again and I am able to Odin just fine. Could it really be an issue with my USB or will it be a PCB issue? I would rather or not disassemble my phone if it is a PCB issue. Should be able to do a warranty exchange though.

I hate to break it to you brother but it's damn near impossible to determine what the actual culprit could be, your best best is to try each and every single different thing I've listed. The end result being changing the PCB which one, isn't that hard, and two, is very cheap the only problem is waiting for the board to come in the mail.

Its strange because when I enable USB debugging, I can get a "USB connection" on the phone and data transfers fine. But when I turn it off, I get a "MTP connection" and sometimes it'll connect (5% of the time) and allow me to transfer data. But when lies tries to update when that mtp connection is active, it'll hang when the phone goes into download mode. Did you have this same issue?

I f you're able to transfer files via mass storage with USB debugging enabled then you can (most likely) rule out hardware failure on your phone.
If anything this sounds like a driver issue on the cpmputer. Are you running windows? If so remove and reinstall the drivers for your phone.
Still think its hardware.
I can connect 1/100 of the times I'm plugged into a computer. Its not a driver issue because my girlfriend has an i777 as well and no problems for her connecting at all.
Its not ROM related because I have this problem with all ROMs.

Does that apply to ums as well? From his description he can connect in ums just fine. Its only mtp that's giving him problems. In his case, with the problem only being in one connection mode, it leads me to think drivers. In your case, tested against another s2 I'd say hardware.
Just tried using a Motorola cable and a third PC and my chances of connection increased to about 15-20%. Kies and Odin failed on me a few times just like I had described before. But eventually Odin was able to flash okay. Finally on ICS on my i777! I think I'll stay on stock since I'd rather not go USB and PC hunting to flash stock if anything goes wrong.
