[Q] USB and internal memory broken? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I think my galaxy is dead.
When I connect by odin, not detected when I connect as storage not detect it.
I formatted all thinking that would solve anything, but nothing has helped, still not detect it, and now I can not pass anything to the internal memory to flash any rom.
With my previous phone (Desire) something similar happened to me, USB break or something, but I could solve, but here I am lost, not to do to fix it.
I would appreciate any suggestions, I'm desperate.

USB connections ???
Replace Samsung drivers with new via Kies .
Or dead phone = service centre .
jje

Is there any way to eliminate recovery? I imagine that the SAT does not cover the warranty if I turn the phone appears to recovery ...

Uninstall and instal kies again
Check your odin version is it compatible
Flash stock rom and kernel
had the same problem now resolved

USB Device not recognized-Used to work fine??

Searched and did not find this in the Vibrant forum.
My Vibrant suddenly will not mount. I have it set to MASS STORAGE as it always has been, and now it won't bring up the USB notification on the phone and I get a USB Device not recognized error in Windows XP and Windows 7.
The phone is NOT rooted. I flashed JI2 with ODIN. I know it worked after that because I copied back my music movies and games back to the Vibrant from pc's running XP and 7.
Any ideas?
I had that happen to me, too, after I had soft-bricked my phone and then tried to use Odin to recover. I ended up getting the phone back through Clockwork Recovery, but by then it had stopped being recognized in Windows. Try re-installing the drivers (available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929). That fixed the problem for me.
Tried those, don't work for me. Not sure what the heck is going on. Finally get the phone working nicely with the JI2 update and now this...sheesh.
Any other suggestions?? I confirmed that it's not a driver issue, I tried my coworkers vibrant on my PC and his and it mounts fine. When I connect mine, same old error. I even did a factory reset, same results.
I have the exact same problem.. my vibrant soft bricked, so I reflashed stock rom with ODIN and it seemed to be fine.. then after a while it just stopped being recognized on my computer. Tried both on mine and my husband's. It's not the drivers, I've installed and reinstalled. There doesn't seem to be any fix for this??
sorry to bump an old thread but was there ever a solution for this?
Same happend to me today . I nandroid back to a point it was working and did not help . I read somewhere that formatting the drives help some but im not sure I want to lose all my **** .

I don't know if it's the drivers. I think it has something to do with Odin. I softbricked my vibrant twice and had to use Eugene's Froyo that won't brick then back to 2.1 and finally a custom rom. I think somewhere in there something happened...
I havent used odin lately . It was working fine then it just stoped working . I got the drives to show up but it window say "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it" .
Couple of things you can try:
1) Try setting the USB mode to Samsung Kies. Somehow, mass storage never worked for me, but Kies mode works just fine.
2) Try installing ES File Explorer from the market. With that you can get into a home network while on WiFi, thus allowing you to transfer data between your computer and phone using your WiFi network, thereby eliminating the need for cables.
So far I've done a few things and i still get "USB device not recognized" .
Here's what I've done .
1) reinstalled drivers
2) formatted internal and external
3) restored to a previous nandroid

Mine is not recognized by any computer, by odin or kies at all. This happened after I flashed a rom using odin fixing a soft brick. I don't know if it is a hardware problem or not, I have flashed to different roms using rom manager and usb is still not being recognized.

[Q] USB connected eventhough i remove the cable

My phone says i am connected to usb. i am not reallyy. it is very annoying because whever phone is in idle kies oppens. is this the problem with rom or hardware
i installed sensation cognitions2 and now i am using stock in all those it says my phone is connected to usb please help
Have you resetted it to factory settings? If the problem persist then i think it's a hardware problem and you should return it under warranty.
I i have done factry reset but no use but ll i get warranty if i have nstalled a custum rom once now i use the stock firmwire

[Q] Computer not recognizing usb connector.

Hi all,
All up until a few days ago, my computer/s cannot recognise my Samsung Galaxy S2. Whenever I connect my phone to my computer, the phone believes I am plugging in the charger.
I have attempted to turn on/off USB debugger, attempted the USB mass storage connection method and also attempted to use Winamp's automount option.
I thought it could have been my cable and I have tried different cables and phones and it seems my phone is the only problematic one.
Before this issue, usb used to connect very easily, even used for my car headunit.
Yesterday I was running the 2.3.6 firmware and recently changed to 4.0.3 and neither allow the usb to be working.
Has anyone encountered this problem and does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Did the USB work on previous firmware if so you have messed up the install revert to older stock rom firmware and test .
jje
It didnt stop working due to a firmware upgrade. It randomly stopped working when I was using 2.3.6 so i thought maybe upgrading would do the trick, which it did not.
Try doing a factory reset..
Yeah, did a factory reset when I changed from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 and just tried again. No difference.
I did notice that this error may have occurred when I may have dropped the phone. Not too sure how this would affect anything but just putting it out there.
Did you drop it with the usb connected?
Sounds like its a hardware problem, just try flashing stock again to be 100%

Dropped whilst drunk unconnected to anything, did have a case on it however.

ICS is not an upgrade its an unstable beta rom not passed by Samsung for use .
Possible dirty USB ports .

How would one proceed with cleaning the usb ports?
In the past I happened to have trouble connecting with the usb port and I solved unistalling and reinstalling Kies. Have you already tried?
I believe what I'm attempting to do is to even use the phone as a mass storage device. I used to be able to do this via straight windows to any computer and even my car headunit. However at the moment a cable is only recognised as a power source and not as a data connection.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438400
just gave this a go, going to leave it overnight to dry. wish me luck
No luck but I have concluded that the USB port possibly could be broken. I'm wondering, does rooting the phone void warranty?
Unfortunatelly it does...
Wipe everything U can, flash back original firmware and do reset with factory JIG... Than U have chance to claim warranty. But its not 100%...
There is thred about reverting somewhere...

Try again but after restarting ur computer !
Does the computer see any external drives (whether you can connect to them or not)?
Does the computer make a noise when you connect or disconnect the phone?

[Q] Has my SII's USB died?

Well, the day before it occurred to me that I'd like to install a custom ROM, therefore I went on to plug my phone into my PC and for my surprise, the phone didn't pop that MTP warning and the PC did not recognize it.
So I went around and changed USB ports, cables and PCs, same thing.
Decided to try Mass Storage mode, when I press the START button and put in the cable it goes back into the main start screen.
So I went on and tried that *#7284# trick people used since apparently 4.0.3 bugged some crap stuff in the phone, no success either.
Strangely enough I can connect the "pendrive dongle" and it will map pendrives.
Well, I don't have my phone rooted or with SU so that means CWM from app store won't be able to install the recovery module, and I can't install... you get the picture.
Nor ODIN nor HEIMDALL will recognize my phone in recovery mode, wich suggests that the data lanes on my phone went somewhat dead.
Finally, any cable I plug in the phone says it's charging my device, wich leads me to belive that the usb port is dead.
Anyone had this issue?
Anyone can confirm me I'll have to take it to Sammy's assistance?
Sure looks like the USB is dead/dying.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
So I got one more question, can I root and/or install CWM so I do not stay dependent of the USB to update it or I do need to plug in the USB to install CWM through ODIN?
Several problems
It can be several reasons
1.the usb is dead buy new
2. try factory resetting the device
3. install kies on pc it will install all the drivers that you need
4.your usb port(of the phone) is dead
I had the same problem pc was saying "USB cannot be recognized" I TRIED EVERYTHING from factory resetting, changing pc usb ports, changing usb, changing kernel, roms, trying on other pc, reinstalling kies and drivers but nothing. The problem was in the usb port on the phone where you connect the charger on the phone. That part is weak and so you have to change it. Take to customer service with your warranty and they will fix it without charging anything just tell them your problem and say that you read that most of the galaxy s2 users have this problem and that you didn't touch the hardware of the phone

Warranty has already expired.
Kies was installed on the PC, ODIN gives no info @ COM port.
I wanted to connect it just to root and install CWM so I can swap ROMs as much as I want.
Thing is, the customer service wants 1 week to assess the issue and probably 100USD to fix it.
So for some god-knows-why reason my phone decided to conect to MTP while charging, I quickly restarted it into revocery mode and flashed CF_Root w/ CWM5.5.
Successful!
Bloody USB thingy!
Now I can start messing around with the phone.
Anyone has a n00blet guide on ROMs?
I was thinking about moving to CM 10.1, one of those nightlies running 4.2.2.
This is the one I used >> CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXX_LPE-v5.5-CWM5
Can anyone suggest actions?
For future you should change your USB-Port. Here we get one for about 15 € (about 20 $) in ebay. It's very simple to change and then you have a full working phone again. Just watch the Videos on Youtube and everyone can do this. Hope I could help!

[Q] boot loop and no USB debugging

Hi. Wifeys S3 (just over a year old) has started bootlooping.
I can get into Odin and stock recovery but nothing else. The phone was always off limits to me so it has never been rooted of had USB debugging enabled. Ive tried adding a stock ROM to the SD card and installing via stock recovery but no good. Ive tried installing Kies but it wont find the phone. the USB drivers ive installed just come up with an error for the phone.
Am I stuffed ? Any options out there ? Im an ADB novice ....
Hi there,
no worries mate, just boot into Download Mode and flash a fresh stock ROM via Odin. Before you do that make sure
to read and understand stuff, otherwise you might permanently brick wifey's device. Make sure to flash only files intended for
that particular device. Ask before you do something stupid you didn't understand.

Thanks.
Ive installed ODIN. Downloaded latest Samsung Drivers. Found a ROM (stock)
but ..... i cant get the device to be recognised by the USB drivers. I can get into ODIN on the phone - but i keep getting USB not recognised (Device Descriptor Request Failed).
Grrrrrrr
Uninstall kies and do a full driver wipe, then start again with just the usb drivers and odin. Try different usb leads and ports.
The symptoms so far describe motherboard failure, if you can't get odin to connect then it looks terminal.
I'd presume you've tried factory reset and cache clear in stock recovery.

uninstalled kies - uninstalled drivers. reinstalled drivers. still no connection and device descriptor request failed.
The phone isnt that old (was provided as a replacement for a dead Xperia) - maybe 18 months - so I might contact Samsung and see what they say
Honestly, in my experience (escpecially since using boxes) it is rarely a hardware brick.
1 from 10 dead phones or bootlooped devices have a defective board, the rest is recoverable by software repair.
There a tons of threads around like 'i9300 not regonized on USB port' etc. I find it much too early to give up saying it's the board.
It's probably not the board. Anyway, if you don't want the hassle of finding the fault and you are still under warranty of course you might just as well
see your service center.
But: it actually is a way to pull customers money from their pockets. I've seen HTC and Samsung changing boards 'cause the device has been rootet or BL unlocked.
They tell you it is their policy to return devices only in factory state and take all sorts of excuses to charge you changing the devices board without any neccessity.
quietening !

Just to quieten a little the OP, I can use ODIN on one of my laptops and not the other (USB not recognized depite wiping all KIES elements on the laptop, rebooting, installing USBdrivers from Chainfire (I believe) and rebooting.
No way. on the other laptop all is fine.
BTW This is a 9300 but not Qualcomm so I cannot find any soft to deal with nv files and EFS. ANyone knows if that exists for Exynox chipsets ? (so to have the adequate menu in Phoneutils)
Or is there a way to use command line to put the smartphone in theadequate mode for using EFS pro, or other NV tool (Qualcomm mostly, seem to me )
Regards
Have you tried booting the phone without the battery while on the charger? Hold vol up+home+power, release just power as the screen lights up.. vol down for download mode (needed for odin).
