USB not recognized - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've read a bunch of threads on the topic but none of the fixes work for me. When I plug my fascinate (Telus Canada) the phone thinks it's mounted and it charges just fine but the computer shows no mention of it at all it doesn't recognize any connection. I've tried 2 USB cables neither of which are OEM though. I've tried:
restarting with the cable plugged in
debugging mode
all the drivers
2 cables
What could be the problem? Thanks

I'm haveing the same issue

I had the same issue just the other day. I ended up booting into recovery, did a data wipe/ factory restore. Then wiped the Cache, Dalvik, and then went through the process of adding back in my stuff. Seems to have fixed it.
I was running ComRom 2.0 with PBJ -50. I had tried 3 different drivers, multiple computers, multiple cords, etc......no luck.

the problem is that I Just got this phone so I don't have recovery it's running the stock 2.1. I was able to get KiesAir to work is there anyway I can update it to Froyo through that?

Nvm I think I found out how to update through recovery mode. So If I'm able to update to froyo and then continue using Kies Air I'll ignore this problem for now..

Samsung Fascinate Com Port Issues

After I OTA'd the phone, I wanted to do something in QPST, so I hooked up the phone in diag mode (Debugging active and Dial Up Networking). The phone connected in diagnostic mode, but connected to a different port than before I had OTA'd it, and QPST wouldn't connect or recognize it anymore. Oddly, CDMA Workshop would connect, but still wouldn't read it.
Seeing as how the port it connected to was com port 8, I changed it to a lower port number (port number 2), because I had heard CDMA Workshop sometimes has issues with anything above port 6. Still no luck.
The weird thing is that the port I was using it on before I OTA'd (port 3) claimed it was still in use. In a last ditch attempt to get it working, I connected to port 3 anyway, and still had no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
Please I need a solution.
Was the phone in dialup mode? Did you usbui to modem?

Yep and yep.cdma workshop keeps saying failed.. Cannot read phone. Or some thing like that
Yep same here. I did a *22899 to try to remedy something else & now qpst won't see the phone. I uninstalled & reinstalled both qpst & the phone drivers & so far it's a no-go. Any ideas?

I was once told that *22899 was the same as *228, option 1 which reprograms the phone radio settings but when I did it yesterday it said it was in activation mode & the lock p/w was set. I rebooted & reran 228, option 1 cause I thought I had hosed it up & thats where my qpst trouble began.

My prob. is when I plug it in to qpst it finds the com port but on the com port its says no phone.
Now I realized that its not limited to qpst, when I try to One-Click root it says Error Device Not Connected, Even when im on debug mode. So it seems to be a general usb prob. : /. This needs to be fixed.
This could have something with the ota causing mass storage to show up as a cdrom. Borked usb drivers in the ota it seems.
The only thing is I didn't update from the ota, I used Adrynalyne's modem, rom & kernel which he deodexed, debloated & rooted. Because of his work, I never had the cdrom problem & still don't; I can mount it as usb mass storage just like on di01. It's just that qpst won't see it, but everything else does.
update: Problem solved. Blade765 in the dev forum suggested booting the phone up while connected by usb with qpst open & it worked. As soon as it booted fully, qpst saw it & I was in. Oddly enough, the only value that was reset to the [email protected] and disabled was the #1 setting. The #0 setting was still enabled and still set to @vzw (no dun). Hope this helps...

Great to know your fixed. Ill try this after work. Can you please explain to me what is a dun file, as I am a newbie.
.dun is stands for dial up networking and it is the value that directs your connection to the billing pipeline. So the goal is to change the first two entries in the service programming mode from "[email protected]" to "[email protected]" in order to keep your connection in the unlimited smartphone data pipeline which you're already paying for.

Well. Unfortunately it seems we have dif. problems because that solution does not work : (.
Can you try a different cable? Many othe micro usb cables are compatible.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yea, Qpst worked before. Its just at one point it just stopped connecting. Ive tried three cables, same problem. Ive tried running qpst, and restarting the phone with the usb in, still doesnt help. I just dont understand. Same with the one-click root software. It worked before, but now it wont let me root, as it says my device is not connected.
Solution for this issue. Running out of options.
I have a Verizon fascinate,
hardware version i500.04,
firmware 2.1 update1,
build sch-i500.di01 ( i tried this with dl09 as well ).
When I check the box to see unknown qpst will see the ports but it will not see a phone on it. I have also searched a variety of different forums and have found other people with this issue but no resolutions other then to start with usb connected. Diagnostic mode is enabled and so is usb debugging. I have tried a variety of different combinations of settings with no luck.
Is there another solution for this issue other then booting with qpst and usb cable. Currently I have tried qpst with the following.
1: installing Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.550.0_SCH-i500_Fascinate and rebooting.
2: installing SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.msi and rebooting
3: removing com ports and modem and reinstalling in every way i know how to.
4: used odin to flash back to dl01
5: Taken this to a fresh computer and installed only the fascinate drivers and qpst with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does rebooting the phone with QPST on help? It doesn't for me. Im on the verge of giving up.
I know this may sound stupid but do you have debugging on and dial up networking checked? Sorry if this is painfully obvious but I've found that most most of my troubles have come from details that I might've missed. Also, the reboot with the usb connected & qpst on is what did the trick for me.

Are you saying to disable those or make sure their enabled. I'm looking into performing the steps to get the work around for free mobile hotspots myself. Still doing a lot of reading as I'm new to Modding my phone but have learned a lot in the few days I've been teaching myself and was amazed at how easy a lot of this is especially with great guides on these forums and others.

[Q] Is my USB Fried?

Hi Everybody...
I had my phone spontaneously reboot a few days ago, and when it restarted it reported that my SD card was corrupt and needed to be reformatted, which I did. I had to restore some of my apps from the market, but everything else seemed fine. The problem I recently noticed is that my phone will no longer connect to any of my PCs via USB. It charges just fine, but will not connect so that I can transfer any files, etc. All I get is the dreaded "USB device not recognized" message when the phone is connected. Even when I manually enter download mode with the battery removed, I still get the same error.
I've tried:
Connecting to different PCs that I've used before to which I have successfully connected (one is Win7/64-bit other is XP SP3 32-bit).
Different micro USB cables.
Reinstalling the Samsung drivers on both machines.
During my researching on this, I saw the trick of removing the root hubs, but this didn't work.
Using Dropbox to transfer the files, I tried reflashing SC 2.8 ROM and the EB01 kernel, but still get the same error message.
Cleared cache / factory reset / cleared Dalvik cache
Current setup is Adryn's SC 2.8 (Voodoo) with the EB01 modem. Prior to this, I did upgrade from SC 2.6 to 2.7 to 2.7.1 to 2.8 if that matters at all.
Anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this?

[Q] Cannot get Fascinate to recognize on PC, Possible to go from OTA 2.2.1 to 2.1?

Picked up another fascinate from craigslist because my previous one had a cracked screen. It updated from 2.1 to 2.2.1 via OTA update.
I cannot get the fascinate to recognize on my desktop pc.
Tried two different cables, nothing.
I've tried various usb ports on multiple computers installed with the samsung drivers that have been able to detect my old fascinate, no luck.
I've tried turning usb debugging mode on and off, no luck.
I've also tried setting the usb setting to "ask on connect" instead of media player or mass storage, again, no luck.
I've tried restoring factory default through the privacy screen and also wiping the cache/wiping data/factory reset from the system recovery screen.
I think it may be an issue with the latest OTA firmware that was installed?
Would it be worthwhile to try rolling back to the 2.1 OTA? Anyone know how to do this? The only way I can think of is to find a 2.1 update.zip and restore it using the phone's recovery mode.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

I think the problem is the driver. You can try this way:
Download Froyo ROM ED05 full stock and Odin. If Odin didn't found your Fascinate:
Connect the USB cable to the computer when Fascinate screen on.
Go to Menu and do factory reset, do not unplug USB cable
After Samsung fascinate booted into Android, your PC will get a message about install drivers for Fascinate, click Ok, and it will automatically reset driver for you

Problem is I cannot get ODIN to recognize the phone. Actually, I don't any kind of notification on the multiple computers I've tried that it even recognizes that there is an attached usb device.
I know it's normally a problem if you're running cm7, but have you tried installing drivers for Nexus S? They have worked for some people.what version of windows are you using?

Running Windows 7. Didn't have luck with the nexus s drivers.
Try going here and try the generic Samsung drivers, quite a few have had luck getting them to see their phone. Odin what you need then you should be able to use the original driver again.

USB Not recognizing on any PC

Hi,
I have a galaxy s II i bought about 8 months ago in germany, It worked great with 0 issues, ive moved sevrel roms and never had a single issue.
last week I updated to the JB preview CM10, MTP worked fine when I connected it to my PC and I had no issues other then the occasional reset.
anyway, this Friday I was using it as a modem, USB tethering, when suddenly it stopped working, I unplugged it, tried another port and I get unknown USB device, I thought maybe it was just a temp issue, but I reset, re-installed drivers, and still nothing, my PC runs windows 7 64 bit, I tried at work with multiple cables and windows xp on multiple PC's, also tried ubuntu, nothing...
I tried that USB code thing i think its *#2738# something like that to switch between modem mode to USB and still nothing...
weird thing is it charges fine, the connection seems to be good and its not loose... im starting to think it got static or something cuz in my days as a PC tech I saw this happen many times with USB Flash drives, the contacts would get static and they would go...
any ideas?
P.S I tried re-installing kies, and nothing...
any help would be great! thanks!

I would try on another PC first. If it works, the phone is fine so far and there is something wrong with the PC.
I have same problem. I almost tried everything (uninstall and reinstall usb drivers and kies, uncheck usb debug, different pc or cable, reinstalled firmware...) but none of them worked

I've tried all the above suggestions, 4 cables, 4 PC's, 4 OS's, Uninstalling and reinstalling on varoius computers (drivers and kies), samsung codes on the phone to switch from pda to modem and back to pda, flashing stock rom, formatting all cache and data... Im looking if there is some advance trick im missing, I think we can all agree that this is not an external factor like cable or computer, its like my data contacts on the socket are dead and only the charging is working.... has anyone ever heard of this? or maybe there is something on the phone that I can flash that i havent that doesnt get flashed during wipe, stock format?
the annoying thing is this phone was bought in germany and i live in israel and there is no warrenty here, it means I have to wait for someone to go there to fix it...
I mean for now I can copy stuff using a micro-sd adapter but its super annoying!
if anyone has an advanced trick that worked for them it would be amazing! if not ill just have to accept my fate

u can try changin ur usb port ... u can order 1 from ebay and fix it urself ..
I've had the same issue but because of water damage
on another note, Try cleaning your port with a soft tooth brush.
YES!!!
Fixed it! it was so stupid yet no way of knowing,
so i almost ordered the flex cable but said I'd clean the inside first to make sure its not the issue, I opened the back case and while cleaning I noticed a ribben was loose, lol, i just popped it back into place and walla, worked like new!

[Q] USB Device not recognized

I am owner of the Galaxy S2. I updated yesterday to SuperNexus Jelly Bean ROM, didn't liked it. I restored my device to CM9 which i was using for a month without any problems. Then it started, computer couldn't recognize the phone anymore. Its like that SuperNexus broke something i don't know. I reformatted my Win 7 Ultimate x64 and installed fresh new CM10 - but after all my computer and S2 don't like each other - USB device not recognized. Chaos. I asked my friend to come over just to test with his S2 (he's on stock ICS 4.0.3 or 4.0.4), and when i plug his phone into my computer, everything works flawlessly. I tried mounting in recovery, i tried with and without usb debugging, Odin doesn't find phone neither, tried updating drivers - no luck... Dialing *#7284" just gives me "connection problem or invalid MMI code". Need help on this please!
You can check THIS thread. The one HERE , and also THIS thread.
I've read them all, tried every advice, but phone still isn't reacting to anything. So my problem is that phone couldn't connect to a computer, well it connects but it states "USB device not recognized", it charges but that's all. Everything started with Custom ROM SuperNexus. I've done these steps so far:
1. Reformatted my computer OS, which is Windows 7 Ultimate x64
2. Downloaded CM10 over my phone, get into recovery --> factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format system, install ROM, wipe cache, wipe factory
3. I tried on my computer, tried on my old computer with Win XP x86
4. My friend's Galaxy S2 is working like a charm with MY cable on MY computer, which makes me believe that there is some defectiveness in my phone
5. I tried cleaning MicroUSB port with tooth pick, ear-cleaning pick (or how do you call it), needle with some paper wrapped around it, tried blowing in it
6. I tried with different USB ports, front ones, USB 3.0 - still no luck
7. I tried flashing Wanamlite and Neat ROM-s, still the same problem
I'm using Airdroid now, but i really need to know what's the problem! I have already ordered a new parts on E-Bay and I'm having high hopes about that solution. Im not able to post link to E-bay item, but search it under Item Number: 150904945773. Any other advice is really highly appreciable. Thank you
Try downloading the Rom over WiFi, or Hardline instead. Have you tried a different USB Cable ? Also I'm not able to check that Ebay # right now.

eBay item is this: New Samsung i9100 Galaxy SII S2 Charger Charge Port Flex Cable Replacement parts
OP, I'm hoping it works for you. You seem to be going in the right direction with your troubleshooting.
Well, i've downloaded this ROM (CM10) via WiFi, now i can do it over Airdroid too. But is there a way to flash Stock Original Samsung ICS in recovery? Or is it only available in Kies and Odin? I came across "Mobile Odin", do you guys have some experience with it, is it safe to use? How big are chances anyway that USB will work with stock ROM? Someone told me "your USB port on phone is OK, if it's charging it's not broken", so I'm thinking that it is not a hardware issue after all? And BTW i used several cables, and three different computers. My girlfriend have SGS3, i tried it like 2 hours ago with her cable on her computer with no luck (and of course her phone have no problems to connect to that computer using that cable). Thank you
I would try a Stock Rooted Rom, and see if that works correctly. If not try connecting the Device, and reboot the PC with the Device plugged in.

Try USB solutions from My Android Solutions or Mobile Odin like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28302093&postcount=4789 ( procedure is same but written for Korean SGS 1
Guys let me tell you that I'm grateful to you, cause this Mobile Odin worked and my Stock Rooted ROM worked in connecting with PC. But not on first try when i got into a newly flashed Stock Rooted Firmware, i've let it to do his stuff, update what he needed to update blahblah. Then i tried to connect my cable - it didn't work. I cursed, i cursed so bad. Then i considered to give it another shot, rebooted the phone - and voila! Everything works, i tried 2-3 times and its working. Obviously SuperNexus started my problems, they couldn't be repaired by any other ROM i tried (i tried CM9, CM10, Wanamlite, old Wanamlite with MTP enabler, Neat ROM)... Then with Mobile Odin everything just worked. Dunno what really was the problem. Thank you all
Glad you got it sorted
