Ever since i installed and used kies to connect to my device via usb (somehow i got a samsung driver before that, that connected my device perfectly) it has been absolutely useless. i'm sure i'm doing something wrong with kies, but i am so frustrated with it i just want to abandon it all together.
I just flashed CM7
at the moment i'm trying drivers I got here ( http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDo...i777-USB-Driver-for-AT-T-Download-135411.html ) But when i connect my device and open up explorer... explorer just looks like its trying to scan/search something (With progress bar over the filepath bar at the top) but I can never get into the device, it ends up crashing a bunch of crap on my PC, i get frustrated and just rip my device off the USB. this happened with the driver above and kies. i tried both.
Debugging usb is off.
ALL i want to do is connect my phone to my PC like a normal USB stick.
I replied to your other one:
1) uninstall any samsung drivers you already have on your PC
2) reboot
3) install this:

4) reboot
5) profit!
You dont need Kies - I dont have it and it works just fine.
that url seems to be broken nyydynasty =/ looks like it took the '...' the wrong way

Hi all
I have a problem with my hero not being recognized by my PC. This happened after a weekend trip and i charged the phone with iphone USB adapter as i lost my one and now after returning from my trip i connect my hero to my PC to be greeted with the "USB Device Not Recognized" message.
Also my Amon_Ra recovery i used has been wiped and i cant get into recovery or install any rom at all.
I am thinking this might be the same USB brick that affected some Desire owners but i am not sure.
So please if anyone can help me, please do.
Thanks in advance.

this happen to me. What i did was switch my phone off, plug in the usb and switched it back on. then wait for windows to say it not recognised. then go to to device and printers and uninstall the drivers for the phone. Disconnect and reconnect the usb back to the phone and it it will pick it up.
Can you try booting in fastboot and tell me if that is recognized?
it still doesnt recognize it in fastboot

Sounds like its just a driver issue. Have you tried plugging it in, when you get that message open DEVICE MANAGER,... Find the yellow "!", right click it, uninstall, unplug phone, reboot PC.
.... Then use BTDAG's [Guide] How to Setup Correct Hero Drivers (for x86 & x64 users)
I hav the same problem. In recover mode it works but then turn on the phone, there is no popup options as before. Tried around with drivers but didnt work either. But found a solution which is very convenient. I dont know if it works on other ROM versions but I'm on 2.1 (Villain10).
- Install extended control widget (dont remember where I got it but you can google, it seems I cannot find it on the market)
- Add this widget to the home screen: Menu/Add to Home/Widget/ Extended Control bar (you can choose the size from 1x1 to 1x4) then select "Mass storage" at the bottom, apply.
Now you have a widget to turn on/off USB storage. When you connect Hero to the PC, just click on this widget then the PC will connect to the SD card, and click one more to turn it off.
ok i will give that a try

No i havent and i gave up trying because i dnt think there is a fix for it. if yours is unrooted and the warranty is still valid you should consider returning it to HTC maybe they might replace it
got the same problem. Any solution so far ??

Did you try that?..... You need to do the reboot PC/Laptop after uninstalling ALL HTC drivers! Then when you reboot PC, plug phone back in, should say "not recognised" again,... then follow BTDAG's guide. T'is definitely a driver issue!
tried flashing 3 roms, modaco, radug and now kimera... none working.
can connect in fastboot, it shows up in device manager as android 1.0
ive tried 3 different usb cables and 4 differet pcs, still there is no response on my phone !!!
using villian rom 10.0 rite now.
okay it boots up into fastboot and fastboot usb shows up on the screen in red,
BUT when i use the "adb devices" command in adb it doesnt show the device,
it is showing as android 1.0 in devices and printers (windows 7)
You need to use....
fastboot devices
....when your are in fastboot.
What happens when you go into your recovery, select "Toggle MS/USB" with USB connected to PC?
okay
fastboot devices command shows some serial number.
then i tried adb remount, it gave an error....
enabling usb-ms with cable attached gives no response
ok i think it might be USB driver like ddotpatel said but i am not sure.
i reinstalled my whole windows 7 to 32bit now instead of the 64bit version i was using before and today i just connected my hero to my PC and windows 7 did its thing and installed the drivers and finally my hero can mount the SD card in my PC again although i kept getting this can perform faster in USB 2.0 port or something like that i didn’t care as long as i can mount my SD card again.
now went into fastboot and used the fastboot device command and i could see my hero serial no. but when i try to flash the amonra recovery i got the permission error (i cant really remember). i tried flashing using the adb method but still no luck.
so i went to market and downloaded rom manager and used it to flash clockwork recovery and now i could boot to clockwork recovery.
from this recovery i can now flash any rom i want and although there are still a few more problems i am glad now that i can flash custom roms again.
the problem i can see so far but i can deal with is
1. i don’t think fastboot commands work even if the phone is detected.
2. SD card mounts at USB 1.1 speed. (i have tried different ports and cable but still the same thing and this is the ports i use for my N1, Desire and my other android phones with USB 2.0 speed)
PS: adb commands for pushing and removing apps is working.
Hope this can be helpful to those experiencing the same problem.
Instead of re-installing your entire OS just use usbdeview to remove the failing drivers.
Also remove any old HTC Sync installs and install the latest version.
Hi everyone,
i'm having difficulties to connect my sgs2 to a pc.
i have tried it on 3 different machines (win7 64, win7 64, winxp 32) with the same problem:
I works fine when i first connect the phone in download mode. But as soon as i disconnect the cable i can't connect it again. Windows sais that it doesn't recognize the device and that's it. The device manager shows an "Unknown Device" under USB-Controller. And i am not even able to install drivers by manually pointing windows to a file.
as already sais, i have tried that on 3 different machines. I have tried installing driver via kies and via the driver file that is available here in the forums. i have also tried different usb ports.
Any ideas?
Goddchen
EDIT: Maybe this is an important information: the phone connects fine as long as it is running (can be found via adb, logcat is working, etc...) it only makes problem when in download mode...
I had exactly the same issue yesterday on my Windows 7 box. In the end I connected the phone in normal (not download) mode. Into device manager and uninstalled the drivers through there.
Then I uninstalled Kies and reconnected the phone, I allowed Windows to search windows update to find drivers (not that it did as it couldn't find any and reverted to the local ones. Then disconnect the phone, re-install Kies, run the install drivers from the tools menu, close Kies. Run up Odin and the connect the phone in Download mode, low and behold 2 minutes later after a lengthy installation process the phone was picked up.
I tried a number of things but for some reason this specific order seemed to sort it.
Hey,
thanks for you hints. But they didn't work for me.
I found the problem: believe it or not, it was THE CABLE. I went and got another cable and this one is working fine all the time. The other one doesn't... Very strange...
Ok so i tried to install a new rom because my AOKP Rom wasnt connecting to my PC so i thought.
Ok so here is the problem. Half way through installing a rom, some how my phone crashes, after waiting 5 hours just incase i ripped out the battery and thought i will reinstall a rom that works the CWM. Nice and easy so i thought until i couldn't access CWM. So now i have a non bootable block of plastic and a screen.
Next i put the phone into download mode expecting to use Odin to just reinstall everything from scratch however my computer cannot recognise my Device. It says USB device not recognised and doesnt show up a drive letter on my computer. Any ideas of how to fix this?
No 1) let me make this clear it is not a driver issue, as all the correct drivers are installed and my girlfriends GS2 works fine.
No 2) it doesnt matter which computer i try to connect it to it wont work.
No 3) i have tried it with and with out Samsung Kies.
No 4) The batter is charging so the port cant be completly dead.
So how do i install anything on the phone if a computer cannot access it?
I even thought of trying to use killdisk to wipe any dodgy partitions but of course this wont recognise this device as a drive letter.
Please please can any body help or should i just assume the usb port is Dead.
Hello xda users,
I'm having a really strange problem. When copying files from my PC to my phone (be it the internal storage or the SD card) the window that shows the transfer process just hangs and nothing happens. Example: see transferhang.png from attachments (sorry, can't post links yet)
After leaving it "copy" for a while I get this error:
see cannotcopy.png from attachments. (The error says: Cannot copy item: the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.)
I am running Windows 7. My Galaxy SII is rooted and I am running the MIUI rom. I have searched around and have found no working solution.
However, if I change the USB port from the front of the PC (USB 2.0) to the back (USB 3.0) I can transfer small files like photos but larger ones (like 150MB for example) hang up.
Copying files from the phone to the PC, however, works. I find this whole thing really strange.
If anyone has any idea as to how to fix this please tell me.
Did you try the same thing on another computer?
Did you try to change the use cable?

Tried it on another computer, same thing.
Haven't tried another cable, don't have one.
Did you face the same problem before the MIUI rom? Sometimes the ROM could cause the problem

Running stock android (4.1.2) I did not experience the same problems, but I had other issues.
While on stock 4.1.2 my computer couldn't detect my device for some reason. It always failed to install the drivers and the "Troubleshoot connection issue" option in Kies did nothing. Every time I connected my device to the PC I got a "Device not recognized..." pop-up. I was able to get my PC to detect the phone but I had to do really strange things (strange as in I have no clue why it works) and it didn't always work.
What I did to get my PC to connect to my phone was:
1. Open settings
2. Go to USB options
3. Choose "Mount USB storage" (most likely not worded this way)
4. Connect my phone to the PC
5. Get a "Device not recognized" error
6. Go to developer options -> Enable USB debugging
7. Boom, it works. (but as I said not 100% of the time)
While doing all of this I had Kies running, otherwise the method doesn't yield anything.
I tried just enabling USB debugging and connecting the phone, but it didn't work that way. For some reason the only way to get it working was to mount the USB storage and enable USB debugging after that, all the while running Kies on my PC.

Currrently Im using Neat ROM for my GS2. I have kies totally uninstalled. I plugin my phone to the pc and it recogonized it. I have the USB debuggin set on. You can try to install another ROM tho, and make a full wip etc. I cant tell u that getting a new ROM will 100% solve your problem, but you can give it a try tho.
/Amiroslo
I have tried doing a full wipe and it doesn't help.
The only roms I have tried are stock 4.1.2 and MIUI.
I can't tell whether it's a Windows problem or a problem with my phone.
Try new stuff
Either
Try a new Rom, stock or aosp or aokp
update your usb drivers, just google and you will find the new one
Got a new cable. Worked.
Hello All,
I've been reading posts from here for a long time but this is my first post.
I'm coming here as a last resort to save my Galaxy s2 (SGH-T989) which has a stock ROM.
Here's what happened.
I dropped my phone and then it got stuck in bootloop (it only boots until I see the "SAMSUNG" word animation and stops there).
At that point, ODIN 'sees' that there's a connected device; KIES keeps "connecting...." but can't actually connect; ADB does not show any connected device.
So, what I wanted to do was to factory "reset" the phone. The problem is I can't get the phone into Recovery mode. I believe it's because my volume down button was acting up when the phone was working. However, I can get to "Download Mode" using a USB Jig.
So, the next thing to do is to flash a new stock ROM. However, whenever I connect my phone when it's in "Download Mode", ODIN does not see it.
Yes, I've installed, re-installed, removed, re-installed all drivers and Kies and I've done that so many times you can't even believe it.
The problem is that the device driver "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" gives the following error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)", and I don't know why or how I can get rid of that. As mentioned above, I've tried all the device driver installation fixes but none has worked.
I mean, when the phone is not in Download Mode and I connect it to my PC, all device drivers are working fine with no error, but when it's in Download Mode, I get the error mentioned above "This Device cannot start.".
So, my questions:
1) Is there a way to get to Recovery Mode without using the button combinations? (The phone is in bootloop)
2) How can I fix the device driver error mentioned above to get ODIN to see my device?
3) Is there anything else I need to be doing?
This problem is really frustrating and I've been on it for more than 2 weeks and nothing has worked so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.
1. I think you have flashed an bad kernel if you cant get into recovery mode and i dont get it why your volume down acts like up?.
2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104 try to maybe also disable kies and try again.
3. Kies is on, adb doesnt work at samsung/download screen, try to reinstall samsung usb drivers again :/ yes I know but to be sure, disable driver signature or something like that if you are on windows 8.x, try another usb cable.
2weeks dont sound good. I hope these tips could help a bit but I still wonder why your phone got in bootloop when you dropped it !?!? What were you doing at that time and did the battery go out?

Thanks for the quick reply, wulsic.
1. No, I did not flash any kernel on this phone, everything on it is stock and was working just fine before it was dropped. I meant that the volume down was not working properly, not that it was acting like up.
2. I tried that but did not work
3. The drivers are working fine when the phone is not in Download Mode, it's only when it's in Download Mode that I get the error and I've tried re-installing drivers and everything, I think the problem is with the device itself not a driver problem.
