Okay I have a serious problem with my SGS2... It simply refuses to be connected with the PC via a USB cable, not in Kies mode, nor in development mode... I need to fix this ASAP because there's files stored on the internal SD card that I need to access.
Basic Info that might help:
My phone is rooted, has ClockworkmodRecovery.
Running CheckROM RevoHD v4
Using Speedmod Kernel K18
I doubt however that it has anything to do with my ROM or Kernel or the fact that the phone is rooted, it's been working fine for ages and now all of the sudden it falls flat... When I plug in the phone, it starts charging and makes a sound, so it is connected. Then Windows gives me an error. I took a screenshot of it and attached it.
This is on Windows XP but the exact same message pops up in Windows 7 on two different PC's. I'm not sure I should take my phone in for repairs for two reasons:
My phone is rooted, and therefore the warranty is void...
But more importantly, they might wipe the internal SD card and there's very important files. I don't have access to a wifi network so I can't just transfer the files via Wifi. Emailing it to myself is my absolute last resort because the files are very big, it's gonna cost me a fortune. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated...
Samsung usb drivers is corect instal?
do you have kies installed?
Also, if you're desperate just download airDroid
Connect phone in USB mass storage mode to PC mainboard usb port only using Samsung cable only and wiggle the usb lead in the phones port see if it makes a connection as they can be a bit loose .

Hi all.
Problem is I cant get the phone to connect to any computer (It did work before untill recently) It charges fine with the wall charger using the same USB but wont charge or recognize the phone when I plug it into a PC or MAC. So at the moment I cant access the internal mass storage and also write to it.
Tried USB Debugging but that doesn't do anything either. I'm really lost and would appreciate any help. It's still under warranty so I could return it if it turns out to be faulty.

sometimes the system does not pick up internal storage for like 30 secs. try waiting. Also try inserting the sdcard into the slot and see wheter you can acess that.
alternatively try Multi Mount SD-Card Lite app in the market. maybe it will help

I am on windows 8. how do I view the SG3 sd card files?
Thanks!!!
Use the popular SGS3 UMS App.
Ext SD Card reading is supported, you can't move files through internal sd card and Pc.
Use bluetooth for that.
I've had the same problem many times after changing and testing new ROM's.
You can restart your computer and phone - has worked for me before.
Change ROM - this has worked for me, seemed like a particular ROM didn't like my PC setup / drivers whatever and refused to connect!
Change cable - they don't last that long, I've had to replace 4-5 since my HTC Desire days - all that plugging and unplugging can bust them - they always still charged, but no PC connection.
Try a different USB port - You never know!
Uninstall the drivers on your PC for your S3 - reinstall - use the SDK drivers - or from KIES. I seen users report that the change between a ICS ROM and a JB ROM and vice versa can cause issues, not sure if applies to you.
Hi fellows
I have run into a problem with my 1.5 year old GS2 i9100 which might require Samsung service. My phone is not starting up, not responding to any recovery/download/USB mode starting methods. After going through forums I suppose motherboard might be damaged. When I plug it in for charging using USB cable or regular charger, my phone heats up in normal way.
My concern is the data on usbtstorage i.e. internal sdcard. Is there any way to access and copy the data on usbstorage by connecting it to Windows/Linux OS through USB cable? (Please note it is not detected by Windows on my laptop too )
Please help

Hi guys,
i have a little problem here. suddenly my USB port wasnt charging and not recognized in computer also.
i have replaced the USB flex cable and can charge again.
but, another problem came up.
it cannot detected in computer in any way, even in CWM.
another problem is charging mode is always in USB mode never in AC mode, even i plug in into a wall socket.
then i took out the flex cable again and inspect that the new cable is rev.1.x (i forgot) and the broken one is rev 2.2
maybe is that the cause?
okay, another problem is my sdcard is acting weird.
i have dropbox folder in /sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android which take up places about 3terrabytes (yeah 3TB)
i have screenshot to show inside dropbox folder with ftp client.
i know i must format this internal sdcard but i cant connect them to PC.
i try wipe from airdroid, androidlost, AVG mobilation to format sdcard, the result is nothing.
i also trying to format from inside the phone setting and it doesnt work either.
any suggestion until i get the new usb flex cable rev 2.2 (im curious that this version is working fine)
any help will be apreciated
thanks

can anyone help?
On every single AOSP/AOKP rom I've used since rooting my phone almost 3 years ago, I haven't been able to use data transfering over USB cable. If I connect the phone to my PC, it starts charging like it should, but I never get a prompt on the phone to enable Mass Storage, and no removable storage/devices are visible in Explorer. Is this normal behaviour or am I doing something wrong, maybe some option I haven't enabled in Settings?
I'm currently running NeatRom.
Also, where can I find some modems/basebands for my phone, which are compatible with Android Kitkat 4.4.4.?

Are the correct drivers installed. Have you installed the samsung USB mobile drivers? Check in device manager to confirm if you have or haven't got the correct drivers. Is there a mount storage option in the rom? If not, try rebooting into recovery and it should auto-mount the storages and your pc should pick up your phone, if not, your phone'a micro USB port has a damaged pin.
Now I really do feel stupid. :/
All I had to do was go to Storage under Settings and select Mass Storage under "USB Computer Connection".
Thanks for the help!
