I flashed a custom rom a couple of months back. That rom was android version 2.3.5.
Now when I try and connect my phone to my pc using the standard usb cable, it only charges but no connection.
I did some reading before I posted and found several methods to try out
1.Use kies, download drivers
2.Enable USB Debugging mode
3.Go to settings-wireless and network-usb utilities and connect it through there.
None of the methods mentioned above worked.
So my questions to you guys are
1. Does this problem have to do with the custom rom?
2. Can I degrade to the stock rom without the use of an USB cable?
2b Can I update to another custom rom (because the phone charges when it is connected to the pc, even though I cant see it on "my computer", it should still be considered as connected?) ?
3. Which is the best custom rom out right now (Speed and performance wise)
*Side note - I know people prefer different custom roms based on their taste, but I really want to think what you guys think about which one I should upgrade to!!! I also might want to overclock to 1.6 and root the phone in the coming week if I can solve my usb problem!
Have you tried using SwiFTP app on your phone and Filezilla on your pc, then you can transfer files wirelessly

Yes I have but it wasn't what I was looking for. My phone randomly gets usb connected and starts charging without the cable being connected???
I went to the retail store I bought it from and he said you should degrade your firmware and see if the problem goes away, if it doesnt we send it in for repair.
But how can I do that if my usb only charges when I connect to the pc?
There is a Mobile Odin apk. Perhaps you could install that then flash stock firmware with it. You would have to get the .tar onto your phone though.
Unfortunately, if I´m not wrong your trobule seems to be a hardward issue.
My cell phone began a couple of weeks ago with the same problem, and it became even rather serious. Some days ago it didn´t charged if I connected the charger when it was on. I should switch it off and then connect the charger, having done this, the cell rebooted by itsefl and then began charging.
But, just seeking and testing I bought a "charger block replacement" in ebay and replaced it by myself. It is not complex to do it on your own... today I am happyy.. cause I fixed it..
If your problem continue.. I hope you will remember my words!

Yeah, or at least I think so...
Everything was working fine till yesterday morning. I checked my phone and it didnt charge anything at all after a whole night connected to the plug.
Actually, the USB port "works", but the phone itself takes a good damn time to recognize it as if it was charging, and it will never detect the USB connected to my PC. Also, the only way I can possibly charge my phone is by connecting to my PC for some reason.
Those errors happened just a day after I flashed my droid to BB 52 and installed Ultima 4, a mod I found here.
So, I was guessing if anyone could help me out, maybe trying to flash the BB back to my 49 via XRecovery (wich I did not find any possible ways 'til now), or just "rebuilding" the USB drivers via phone. I can access my SD card via wi-fi still, so I think there could still be a salvation for my problem
Does anyone have any idea?
Also, no, I can't even access the flash mode anymore. And something I found here, and that was quite strange, is the fact that if I replace my battery while connected, the USB green LED will remain active, but my phone won't boot in any possible ways 'til I remove the USB cable. (wtf.)
Someone just needs to upload you a xrecovery backup.
Can anyone give this dude a hand?
Please take the time to read this:I flashed and installed SkyRaider a couple days ago and I noticed when I connected to my PC that my PC started recognizing it as HTC Phone (or something of the like). This apparently really screwed up my drivers on my computer because I installed iKReaM and now I can't even get into disk drive mode...it doesn't ask what connection type I want anymore and my computer just says "USB Device Not Recognized". I tried uninstalling the HTC Driver Installer but that didn't do anything either. This is not good as I ran into the same problem when trying to root my friends Samsung Fascinate and never go the problem fixed. Anyways...my phone worked perfect before and SkyRaider evidently messed it up pretty good...to say I am pissed is an understatement. If you need any more info please let me know.
Please link me to the newest HTC Drivers as well, it would be much appreciated.
If no one can help I will have to do a clean install of windows 7, which is not an enjoyable experience

You will have to buy the pro version to push files. That would be your easy solution.
You can always use recovery to get into usb mode as well.

I can't get into recovery anymore using usb mode, computer doesn't recognize the device so no way to use it...and I would use the Wifi app instead of using a usb cable? I see what you mean by easy but I don't wanna avoid the problem...I have a brand new $1600 Alienware so I would like to have it fixed lol...if need be I may just have to do a clean install
I know this isn't your actual problem but just for the record, AirDroid lets you control your phone and push files to it with a web browser and wifi for free.
(I tried linking it but I guess I haven't made enough posts to include links yet, easy to find by searching the Market tho)
You might check under Settings/ Connect to PC to make sure the Ask Me option is turned on.

When you plug your phone into your computer does the phone start to charge?
If so restart the computer and plug the phone into a different usb port. Check device manager and see if you have it listed in your usb devices, or you have an ! over a usb. Most of the time this ends up being an issue with the computer it is being hooked to, not the phone. The computer isn't launching the driver correctly to show the phone that it is connected to a computer, and not just a wall outlet.
Even when I've had this issue, which is random I have still been able to use recovery usb to manage it. Make sure when your in recovery you mount the sdcard before enabling the usb.
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%

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.

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?
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!
Hi guys,
Its a bit confusing but I'll try to keep it as short as possible. It seems basically that I can charge fine in recovery and download but not in the ROM. Syncing doesn't work at all except download..
I have an i9100m. Ran NeatROM and RootBOX and dabbled with a few roms.
Now I'm not sure if it was the roms or wear and tear but I had ASSUMED until today that my USB port was messed. It would not even charge from a PC nevertheless mount as a mass storage on my PC. It can charge fine from an AC adapter.
Anyway, today I randomly decided to put my phone into download mode and what do you know, the phone detects, and I even see it in ODIN, so I guess my USB port is not messed afterall. Perhaps something with the ROMs and kernels that messed it up?
I think this was around the same time when my Triangle went away.... (I never removed it). In download mode now, it says:
Custom binary Download: NO
Current Binary: SAMSUNG Official
I'm rooted and not stock at all so I wonder if that's the cause?
I was thinking of downloading a stock TAR of my carrier and flashing through ODIN. Do you guys think this is sufficient to "Reset" it back to how it was all the way before? And then I'll root and go back to one of my trusted roms (and not mess around)
Thanks
Do you use the original USB cable to connect your phone? That could be an issue.
Anyways, I don't think that something is messed up software-side if you tried several ROMs.
Worst case is that the USB port of your phone is damaged =/
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yes I am using the original cable. (all same result but obviously wanted to use the original just in case)
I was thinking the USB port was damaged too because after reading, I guess apparently I accidentally created a usb jig? (triangle went away + stats wiped...)
But that aside, if my USB port is damaged, how come when I'm in download mode, PC and ODIN detect a device is connected and it charges, whereas within the ROM, I get neither ???
Just an update guys,
I used ODIN to flash completely back to stock... and I still cannot charge from PC. Basically computer doesn't see the phone at all. So it has to be a damaged port.. unless theres something else other than the internal SD that I can wipe????? I wanted to wipe everything..
Still really puzzles me though... that ODIN can see it in Download Mode.
One of the mysteries I guess.
Did you try to clean your mini usb port on the mobile? It could help.

I have tried to blow some air in there.. any other suggestions?
Well, the computer only recognizes the device in download mode, Windows sees the device, otherwise it doesn't.Just strange that I was able to flash an entire stock image through ODIN but in the ROM can't even get the computer to recognize that ANYTHING is plugged in (or the phone to charge so the phone doesn't see anything either)
And again, whats even more strange is that i had that one cheap extendable USB cable that probably messed everything up (it removed my triangle..so I accidentally somehow created a jig?) is able to CHARGE the phone even in ROM but still the computer can't see it as a device. LOL
This is so messed. I guess my main thing is even if I go ahead to replace the USB port (get it repaired), do you guys still think this problem would occur... =\

I currently have the exact same problem, except for the flaky usb cable removing your triangle. Mine is still there.
I brought my S2 to a repair shop because i was sure it was my USB port, but the guy there told me it connected in download mode just fine so the USB port should be fine.
Here is what I tried so far
- cleaned USB port
- Used diferent cables
- Used different PC's
- Used different kernals
- Used different roms
- Re-formated/cleared/wiped everything I could find.
Did anyone find a solution? Should I still have my USB port replaced?
