I'm having a some-what weird issue.
I flashed Simply Honey with the GB bootloaders some time ago and have since wanted to go back to MIUI on my brothers phone.
I ODIN'ed back to stock, JFD, and used ODIN to flash the Froyo bootloaders again. Now the phone seems to work fine, but when plugging in power sources, the phone cuts off.
Does anyone know why this may be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Little update:
I have narrowed it down to not being the OS (ROM). I just installed Bionix 1.3 to change the file partition. When I plug the power source in (USB or AC) the phone cuts itself off.
Bootloaders?
You can flash any miui rom out there with gb bootloaders....i know they say must have froyo bootloaders but ive been flashing miui roms with gb bootloaders for several months....absolutely no issues......i dont really understand why they make a fuss over it
I have and usb issues are the main prob. My phone runs roms fine but will not be recognized by p.c. this may not be your immediate prob, mine started slow
and these glitches snowball, ive tried evey driver on the net and sdk hasnt heped, if anyone else has found a fix im all ears, miui related.
did you use odin flashable gb bootloaders from the dev, section, and flash back?
Quit looking at software issues... it sounds like your usb is shorting

Here is what I did to my phone. Installed a 2.2 rom from team whiskey which had voodoo. I got bored with the rom so I figured I would go back to 2.1 using odin and had no problems . I then decided I would try t-mobiles 2.2. I went to mini kies and all seemed to go well, until my beautiful phone just bricked. It will not turn on at all.. I have tried everything including using a jig I bought. Right now I have a phone with no mechanical problems( it is only a few weeks old) the problem is me not deactivating the voodoo. I know I can call t-mobile etc. but I want to fix it myself. As I said it is totally dead. Does anyone have any ideas I love a challenge. I would love to see DOWNLOAD mode..
You might have a complete bricked phone so..if it is under warranty then just call T-mobile and tell them Kies bricked your phone..I am sure they have head this before because Kies is known for bricking...i have read in so many threads..
Pull the battery, wait awhile, plug in battery cable, insert battery any lights/anything?
dont worry its fine. just do what s15274n
No nothing, this phone is dead. Too bad it is like brand new. Any other ideas!!!

a while back i had a flash go a-rye, i tried one of the posts suggestions but did not work, found very similar solution.
take out battery, sim and sd. hold down both vol buttons. plug usb in reinsert battery and hopefully u'll c the download guy
so about 2 weks ago i did the ota update to android 3.2. ever since then my tab has been acting crazy. it wont recognize charging unless i restart it plugged in. it will say mtp connected plugged in or not to usb. if plugged in the wall i cant turn it off it just boots itself back up. im trying to root but i cant get this thing to do SH*T. ive re installed drivers multiple times and if i go to device manager it wont show tab. any help would be great guys and gals
im running the ota update 3.2 for a few weeks now, no issues really other then a few tweaks I did to make the device fasters, I would suggest doing a factory reset via the settings menu, backup yer data first!! as for the drivers, the fastest way to get them to work is to install kies for galaxy tab, google it...my galaxy tab 10.1 is actually rooted, overclocked, and running a custom kernel...so its pretty fast, but even with all stock I have not had the problems you are talking about.

Well now I'm rooted running ics rom and over clocked, but my tab for whatever reason doesn't recognize being plugged in USB or ac. It did this prior to root but after 3.2 update. Like right now it says 3% battery and I need to plug it up. Problem is that its currently plugged in to AC charger. I can get it to sometimes recognize the plug if I restart it multiple times with plug in. If I power off then plug in it automatically powers up.
I just restarted while plugged in AC and it now says battery at 100% lol this thing is nuts.
Sell it to a developer really cheap, do a warranty exchange, ODIN back to stock and repeat.... I assume drivers on the PC are not the issue.
Yeah the PC drivers are fine. I really don't want to sell it or have to do the warranty exchange. If I send it back I'll have to unroot. Not to mention not having it for a while.
^ then keep pulling your hair out
Honestly, I understand. Also hate when people send devices in for warranty stuff.... but your issue sounds legit. I would be concerned if there was an issue with the charging port long-term.
ok so they said they would fix it but im trying to unroot and i need the stock recovery i downloaded the zip files for dummies and tied to use odin3 to flash the stock recovery that cam in the zip but it keeps failing.
so i just kept restarting into download mode and it finally worked
now that i have it unrooted its on 3.1 i need it on 3.2 before i send it back. i tried to do the update from the tab but it did one update but not for android 3.2.
So Im probably gonna send my tab back tomorrow. Do you guys think they will give me crap because my tabs now on 3.1 when I complained about an issue after update to 3.2?

If the issue is still happening, then no because its a hardware issue. Root or 3.2 didnt break it as the ODIN proved. Silly question, but you did try a different cable? And unless 3.2 changed something, only pershoots kernel allows for actual USB charging, stock TWUX never supported it. Only accepted a 2amp 3.7v on the correct cable (power wires are switched or something).

no i didnt try another cable and for me to run odin i had to restart the tab many times and when its plugged in the wall sometimes it recognizes and sometimes not when i plug in usb it wont mount storage or even to kies like the tab will show connected but the computer wont recognize tried all usb ports. i figured they might ask how i got it to 3.1 after doing the update without rooting i put stock recovery back on also to completely go back stock

Definately sounds like a cable or 30 pin port issue. I will mention that Samsung has always been cheap with their cables on their phones anyway, but I haven't had an issue with the tabs. Onboard USB ports are the only ones I trust. Too many issues with front panel ports in the past with ODIN. I wouldn't worry about 3.1 vs 3.2 though. Of course you could always put 3.2 back on, I think there is an ODINable 3.2 around somewhere, but its been a while since I looked. Send it back, or try a different cable.

Got the tab back and rooted again with ics rom. Ended up replacing 30 pin port.

Installed ICS 4.0.3 on my sgh-i717, a few days later it stopped charging and was unable to be recognized on any PC. I connected it to Kies via wifi, put the stock att rom back on it, reflashed though CWM, flashed counter and still nothing, set it back to samsung, got a new phone.
THen yesterday (2 days after i got my new phone) I flashed the new OnlyOne ICS rom 4.0.4 on my phone, then not even 3 hours later, my USB wasnt working again.......charges when it wants, but CANNOT be recognized by and PC....wtf?
Any ideas please!!! ?? THank you!
USB Ports
Just out of curiosity, have you tried a different usb port? Sometimes (and I think it's windows fault) I can use something on a certain port for months, then it will stop working, changing ports fixes it, then when / if that port stops working i'll switch back to the first port I started with... rinse / repeat.
Remember the old Nintendo Carts, when they would get dusty, they wouldnt work until you cleaned them? Could be the same thing, issue with the port, dust, or just going bad.
It could either be a driver issue / and or the actual port. Esp if it's an older usb 1.1 spec port.
I am running OnlyOne, and it's running fine here as far as computer seeing it / charging. I don't think you would get 2 phones that are defective back to back, Check your computer first, especially if it consistently will charge with the AC adapter and not the computer.

Ive tried different ports on 3 different computers, tried cleaning, tried on usb 1.0 1.1 and 2.0 no luck, tried another person usb cable, earlier today with the wall charger it would charge, now, it wont charge at all. Kies drivers are installed, Thank you for your ideas though
I have an IT degree, Ive been working with electronics\computers for 10+ years and Im completely dumbfounded...

Ouch..... Sorry Bud........
I hope you still have insurance on your phone and I would put it back to stock and see if that works out for you buddy.
If you have access to another phone , try to download seraphim a great from and put it on there and flash it. Inside of the newest seraphim there is a USB storage mount option which should fix your problem. I hope this will fix the problem

Doesn't sound like a ROM issue or one that requires a different ROM to be installed just because it contains a USB selection. To me it sounds like you have a bad cable or a few bad cables. I would try a new micro usb cable. I have had that issue happen a few times with quite a few phones. Cables that just don't click when inserted don't always make the proper contacts. And owning another cable can't hurt, just make sure it is a good brand.

I tried reverting back to a Gingergbread rom, tried re flashing a few different roms, no luck. Tried a few different usb plugs from different phones... how can you mess up a micro USB just from flashing... makes no sense.
Idk about the charging part, but i had the same issue with pc not recognizing my phone after i flashed new ROM on it and could not share files and what not i found a solution for that try this. Make sure phone is unpluggdd from pc. Go to settings>Wireless and network>USB utilities> connect storage to pc then it will tell u to plug your phone, do so. And phone should prompt you with the normal USB storage click it and your good to go.

I have a Fascinate that no longer connects to USB. It's a physical port problem. My company had a spare, so I've been able to swap it out and restore all of my apps/data to the other Fascinate, and I'm back up and running on AOKP M6. I'd like to try to get what is now 'the new spare' (the one with the bad USB port) back to the latest stock build.
Sooooo.....
I can't connect the phone to a PC with USB to get into Odin. If I could, I would have had it reverted in a couple of minutes. To be fair, if I could, I wouldn't have actually needed to swap the phone in the first place. I've searched as much as I can, and haven't been able to find if there's a way to flash through recovery from an MTD-based ROM back to stock EH03. Anyone know if this is even possible?
And to cover any of the 'are you sure the USB port is bad' questions, the phone was tested, along with 2 other Fascinates, side-by-side on the same ROM version, with 7 different USB cables (3 official 'Samsung' cables) and 4 different computers. The other two connected fine in both mass storage mode while booted into the ROM and in download mode on each of the PC's and with each cable. This particular one would not detect no matter what. Strange thing is, it charges just fine.
I think you might be pooched and have to jiggle it or whatever to see if you can get it to take, although you have most likely tried that. If you have to return the phone back to them and you don't want them to know you flashed the rims, you might just boot loop the phone so it only shows the Samsung logo and then they might not be able to find out.

Actually, boot looping is my "point of no return". And yes, I even tried holding the USB cable halfway in while facing a northeasterly direction and simultaneously having a medieval wizard cast enchantments on it, still didn't work. I had high hopes, too.
The closest you will get is a ROM called Superclean3, but you might brick your phone flashing from BML to MTD.
I am trying to flash my vibrant to stock, but my laptop says usb unrecognized.This causes Odin not to detect my vibrant in download mode. I have downloaded all drivers including nexus drivers, but still same error usb unrecognized. I have then start on switching data cables including the stock data cables but the errors remain the same. I have tried on different computers and different windows, nothing working its the same errors on all computers. I have messed up by formatting everything in the Vibrant, now it boot loops to Vibrant logo. I can get into download mode normal but I cant get into CWM or any recovery mode, its probably because I have formatted the whole phone. When the phone is off, I plugged in the micro USB to the phone from the laptop, all it shows is the white lines that are in circler motions and then freezes. Weird my laptop still detects it as a USB unrecognized. As the phone is plugged in to the laptop I try taking the battery out and my phone is still on with the frozen screen of those white lines in circler Motions. Can anyone help me, or at least explain to me what the problem may be? My thoughts is that it may be a hardware problem. If so can anyone provide me some schematics on the USB portion? I hope we can bring some light on this problem. Giving it to T-Mobile is not an option. I have dealt with many problems and solved it, but this is one problem that keeps me stomp in my own tracks.
You can give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he will be able to eat for a lifetime!
Ok, so I am in a similar situation as yourself. I bought another Vibrant that was stuck on the bootloader screen. I gets into DL mode just fine, however Odin doesn't recognize it. I have uninstalled, reinstalled the drivers, used Nexus S and GNex drivers, 4 cords and 3ports and still no joy. My daily driver Vibe is like a mid-town flasher and is seen all over the place. So this leads me to believe that it is not driver/SW related but rather HW realted for me.
I think that my next step is to clean the USB ports on the phone and see if that works. If not, then I'll have to probably crack her open and clean there. I have another laptop that is using WinXP, so I might give that a try since nothing Samsung has ever been installed on it.
Keep me up to date with your findings and I will do the same with mine. Clearly I am not a noob but now this is just making me mad. Why one phone works/is seen and not the other. Common denomitator has to be HW.

I agree with you, it may be a HW issue. I have tried connecting other phones to my laptop and it reads it just fine, but for my vibrant no success. Im gonna go ahead and actally open it up and check on some componets, i have a feeling that it may have burnt one of the componets due to over charge. Ill get back with you on my findings. Keep me updated on your progress.
Before you open her up, have you tried cleaning the metal contacts inside the USB on the phone? I am at work not, so I can't try anything, but I would check that before opening. Might just need to be cleaned.

yes i've tried. I used a Q-tip and some alcohol, still same problems.
Update: Nothing!! How about you?
I have tried un/reinstalling the drivers, Odin v1.8, 1.3 and 1.0, about 4-5 cables and all 3 ports. I have cleaned the USB with alcohol and at this point am at a slight loss. The phone boots into DLmode and charges fine, so I don't think it is a faulty USB port. I cannot get into any recovery or ROM boot. All I have is DLmode and the GB bl screen. No kernel or ROM splash.
Gasp! I'm in a similar boat guys. My phone charges fine, and all my drivers are working and up to date...I can get into DL mode and all that jazz...phone even boots up and works! (fortunately)...but no dice on it being recognized by my or any computer. Glancing into the port, it looks like there may be some corrosion on the left hand side of the port, or some sort of damage...can't really tell without a proper magnifying glass. but it does look damaged or at least irregular. I've been reading around, and cleaning sounds like a potential solution...I've no idea how you guys are cleaning with giant q-tips lol but hopefully I can figure that one out also and give it a whirl xD But in the mean time, I sure hope somebody can come to the rescue
I don't know if this can help you guys, but this is how i hard bricked my vibrant few months ago. I get into download mode trying to get back to stock from ICS and my computer didn't recognize my phone....after a couple of hours my phone was completely dead and after a few days of research i brought it back to life using the unbrickable mod. What i'm thinking now is to use the Unbrickable Resurrector but you will need Linux...it always worked for me but i'm not sure if you need the unbrickable mod already applied. However i think if you have Linux installed you can have a try. Here is the link for the unbrickable resurrector http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17135277#post17135277
