So the ota screwed up my phone. I was able to connect and intstall the stock eoh3 for xda the phone now starts up but I am unable to connect USB to root or flash any new rooms with Odin I can only connect Odin if the phone is booted up and debug and mock locations are on. If I pull the battery and put it in download mode it will not connect to the pc it just shows as an unknown device. I have reloaded drivers ect but not getting anywhere. Any ideas?
Try another cable if you have one, and try putting the drivers on another PC. For reasons I still haven't figured out, my home desktop PC quit connecting a couple of ROM's ago, and it won't even let me reinstall the drivers. I have a laptop that works fine (so I haven't gone into major troubleshooting) and my work PC also connects fine.
If the same issue repeats on other PC's and cables, there may be something wrong with your mini USB port. I had to have mine replaced a few months back.

Yeah, so i've read plenty of topics about USB problems, but none gave me the
anserw.
I'm running Villain ROM 3.0. I just cant connect my phone to the computer (Mac).
It work well before also after flashing Villain.
What i tried:
1. connecting my phone without usb debuging ->phone gives the sound and report in the notification bar : "MTP - initializing" then "USB Connected, MTP-connected" But it does not gives a connection with my mac.
2. Connecting my phone with usb debuging ->phone gives the sound, but nothing happens. nothing in the notification bar neither on the computer. It's strange becouse before it was making the same sound and giving me the info in the notification to connect.
3. I've also tried KIES air it works fine. i can see my phone content, but when im trying to send one file (130mb) there is no reaction to this.
Also some time ago i was able to get usb working by simply choosing usb debuging and restarting phone.
But now i have no acces to my storage
Please help
I have a similar problem.
When I connect my SGSII to my PC (with USB Debugging On) I see 2 Removable Drives in Windows' Explorer. If I click on either one I get the "Please Insert Disk". If I connect to the same USB with USB Debugging off, then Kies Starts but does not connect.
Now the weird bit, if I do the same thing in the next USB port, then everything works fine.
Going back to the first USB slot then the problem reappears.
The 2 USB slots are next to each other and go back to the same controller on the motherboard. I have removed Kies and reinstalled Kies. I have uninstalled all the drivers. I have even changed the USB cable. When I plug a USB External Hard Drive into either USB, it works fine.
Maybe the phone just likes the one connection per computer. I'll have to test that out in my work's PC.
Update:
managed to get a microUSB cable and tested it on my work's PC. Exact same situation. Both PCs run Windows XPpro.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Now, when you said that, i checked with my second usb por, and everything works fine .
So thanks for your help. One working with sgs2 usb port is enought for me
Hey everyone,
So, I rooted and flashed my SGS2 back in july... everything went perfectly... but the Asus that I used to flash has been sold, and since I flash using CWM, not odin, I had not even realized this.... until I had to root and flash my mom's i9000m
My new HP is having a really hard time trying to detect any of my android devices. Here is what I tried:
- USB debugging is most certainly on
- Putting phone in download, plugging into laptop, letting install drivers - NOTHING in odin
- Finding the samsung usb mobile device drivers on tutorials on the internet - NOTHING in odin
- Installing kies, letting that install drivers - still nothing in odin or kies
- Try different USB port
- Try different USB cable
- Try pulling the battery and sim
It definitely is not the phone, because my SGS2, or my parents S vibrant or S captivate are detected by kies or odin. Also I can get a connection to storage when phone is on, ect.
Is there anything I missed? This new HP is starting to piss me off lol. Everything went to smoothly on the Asus.
did you turn off usb debugging. it interferes with the connection
settings - applications-development.
If I turn off USB debugging and enter kies mode while the phone is on (normally) it will say Connected...on the phone, but my laptop does not detect anything, kies is still waiting for a connection.
Ideally I want USB Debugging on, as I want to connect to odin, not kies. But as neither is working... I figured I would just see what I could get to connect.
SGS2 Connect
Power off phone
Install Kies
Power on phone start Kies connect Samsung USB cable .
Let Kies find phone .
NO
Then try Kies not running put phone in USB Mass storage mode connect cable wait for windows to find USB mass storage device and install drivers .
jje
Turns out there was an issue with my android SDK installation. Reinstalled it and re downloaded drivers. Everything works! Thread closed!
Thanks for the suggestions
I've searched around a few threads but not having much luck on this. I've started on a different computer totally from scratch several times and it just doesn't recognise that the phone has been plugged in. It's really quite irritating as the ODIN CF root method is literally 5 clicks and should take about 10 seconds to do.
I plug the phone into my PC while it's on and it detects it as the USB device and I can go into the folders and copy music on etc etc.
I switch it to download mode, plug it in and it does sod all. No windows beep to say it's plugged in a USB device. If I open ODIN then plug it in it's not doing the COM added.
I've tried installing then uninstalling kies then rebooting, installing just the USB driver, uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting. Just NOTHING seems to make my PCs detect that I've plugged the damn phone in when it's in download mode. It should be such an easy process but I'm left banging my head against the wall mid way through because it just refuses to acknowledge the device. I unplug, switch it on, plug back in and there it is, device connected. I've tried different computers, different USB ports. It doesn't show up in device manager even.
So my question: any idea as to why it will detect when the phone is on normally, but will not even think it's plugged in when switch on in download mode? And of course, how to fix it would be useful!
OK I fixed it.
I uninstalled the USB driver and restarted.
Downloaded/installed a new USB driver (specifically SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.23.0-retail).
Went to download mode and it picked it up straight away! ODIN worked in 10s as expected.
Found the instructions here, for reference. http://www.modaco.com/topic/361286-...-phones-15230-for-win-87vistaxp-adb-fastboot/
Hi, first post here.. so Hi
I have an issue with my S3, i can't get my pc to detect it in download mode at all, no reaction from windows.. if didnt plug it in to the pc at all, it worked once, and it took me reinstalling drivers for hours to get it working, this is when i first rooted the phone using the cf-root method..
When i wanted to install a custom rom a few months ago i discovered it went back to not getting detected and has stayed that way
it's as if i've not connected it to the pc at all, i'm using a rear usb port, with the original cable, below is a short list of what i've tried
Tried 3 different cables
Used a brand new install of windows 7 with SP1
tried various Samsung ADB Drivers
Tried every single USB port, front and back on my pc
Used as many different USB Debugging options as possible
I noticed that when i turn on USB debugging after enabling developer mode, nothing changes on the pc, if i remember rightly my S2 made windows install the adb driver when i turned USB debugging on..
Any help is appreciated with this, never had any of this happen with my S2 lol :/ i've been messing around on and off the last few months with it, thankfully there's Mobile Odin and also Nandroid backups for me to fall back on
Pulling the battery with the cable plugged in while my S3 was in download mode is what fixed this for me...
With the usb cable plugged into the PC but NOT the phone, go into download mode.
Connect cable to the phone, then pull the battery out.
Once windows detects the phone and installs drivers it's safe to put the battery back in.
Phone will be detected by Odin/ CyanogenMod installer and so on.
Why in hell having the battery in stops windows detecting the phone in download mode is beyond me.. unless samsung did it on purpose? lol..
Installed CM 11 using the above method and it went perfectly, but i do have to use the above method whenever i want to flash something using my pc, so it's more of a work around than a fix..
Fix was found on YouTube of all places! hope this helps anyone else
I'm not sure if it was the recent windows update(1803) or if my phone is ****ed.
I've tried every USB port, the original cable that came with my phone, the cable that came with my HTC 10, and 2 other cables I had lying around. I also tried factory resetting my phone. None of this worked.
I've tried a few combinations of uninstalling and reinstalling the USB drivers.
I don't have another computer I can use to test with.
Same problem here, can t connect my phone to pc anymore. It worked when i both the phone for 1 week or so and now... nothing. The sound when you connect the cable to the laptop is gone and also the allow and / deny notification you get on your phone.
In downloading mode odin sees the phone and the laptop is makeing the sound.
Whenever you connected your device to the computer, was the USB computer connection on Media Device (MTP)? If it's not on MTP then the computer may not recognize the phone at all.
I have same problem with my S9+ .. I try to install some update to Windows 10 (MTP Drivers) and nothing...
In dawnload mode, also ...don't recognize
This may or may not help, is Bixby updated and configured? I never used Bixby, I turned it off and used Nova Launcher and could not connect to the PC no matter what I tried so..... I turned off Nova Launcher, re allowed Bixby, went through the many configuration nonsense and the phone now connects to the PC. When I plug in the cable the phone shows up as another disk drive and if I click on it, I get internal memory and SD Card and can read or write to either. I've no idea why but apparently Bixby is needed to connect the phone to the PC?
I re activated Nova Launcher and it still works so give it a try.
NOTE: Bixby must be allowed to update first.
Hope this helps at least one of you?
