Please forgive me if I've missed a post somewhere, I've been searching for weeks for an answer to my problem and I still don't see one (similar cases, but either a-no answer or b-solution for another problem).
Computers:
A Windows 7 (32-bit) system and a Windows XP (32-bit) system.
Phone:
Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: T959UVJL5
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: Nero.v3
Description of Problem:
When I plug my phone into either or my two computers the following occurs - My phone recognizes that it is plugged in and begins charging; my computers do nothing.
When I was on Android 2.1 I could plug my phone into either of my two systems and my PCs would respond appropriately (ie. show the drive letters and let me access the device once I mounted the device).
Since the very first Android 2.2 install my computers act like nothing is happening. ADB doesn't see my phone, Odin is silent, and Windows doesn't show any drive letters nor does it even show that I am plugging in a USB device.
I have tried to correct this by changing the USB settings on the phone (Kies, Media Player, Mass storage, Ask on connection) and even trying to connect while in debug mode. Sadly, I never made a nandroid backup to take me back to the Android 2.1 install (idiot me took the plunge before reading up on that section).
I don't understand what would cause my phone to be treated as if it wasn't there. I've tried different USB ports, different MicroUSB cables, and even uninstalling/reinstalling the various device drivers for the phone.
I can get into download mode just fine, but what's the point if Odin can't see the phone since Windows thinks that nothing is there? Before you ask, yes, I tried going into download mode before starting Odin as well as after starting Odin; debug mode on and debug mode off. I've been trying all the combinations.
If anybody has any information beyond what is in the stickies, I would greatly appreciate it!
Do you see "USB connected" in notification bar on the phone? You can also turn on USB debugging mode in USB settings. If you see "USB connect" in pull down notification bar..tap on that and it will mount on your computer.
I experienced similar problem with.axura tool...phone well charge but doesn't pop out the mount notification. I power off both my phone and computer and it work again. I'm sure this won't on your scenario but just wanna inform you that it's not all hopeless...good luck
Yes. I have seen the mount USB bar. Bad news: even after it says mounted, the PCs react as if nothing has happened.

First of all, read this forum (last post is mine) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925393 - make sure you have kies or kies mini installed so that you have the correct drivers on your computer for your vibrant.
secondly, team whiskey has developed a fix for the mount issue your experiencing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846384&highlight=mount+fix
they also have the mount problem fixed in the later nero roms... should not be an issue. please let me know if this helps!

Okay, so I've tried all of the above to no effect except for the latest Nero rom...
Looks like I'll be trying the latest Nero (thank goodness for Dropbox).
Nope. Updating to the latest Nero [v5] didn't work.
Anyone else?

I think I'm going to have to throw it under a bus...
This same thing happened to me and to fix this problem all I did was install the drivers I got online, PM me your email and ill send you the drivers
I am almost certain that it is drivers issue more than your phone or any rom. You need to completely uninstall current drivers..all traces of em, reboot and install drivers from samsung website or there are some here in vibrant section also. It happened to me couple of times where one set of drivers stopped working for no reason and i had to try couple of different ones.
I had the same problem. Phone would charge but not connect. I solved it by getting a new usb cable. I just use the bad one for charging now
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This is a driver problem. Your computer does not have the phone drivers and is confused on what to make of your phone so it finally decides that it is a charging device more or less and will not mount it, EVEN if you select mount from your phone options.
Please look on this forum or ask the guy who posted before for the Samsung USB drivers. Install them on your computer and then mounting the phone from the notification bar will work.
Hope that helps and feel free to ask again if you are stuck on the process.
I thought it was a driver issue as well until last week.
My coworker has the same model phone and is currently running 2.2.
He has his laptop (Windows XP) setup to handle his phone.
When he plugs his equipment in, everything works. When he plugs my phone in, same old story...
Even when trying different MicroUSB cables.
This is why I'm considering loading up a different/modified kernel.

Hi Community-
I'm having USB connection issues & was hoping for a little guidance.
Although I've read through multiple USB problem threads, I thought I'd start my own rather than hijack another member's thread.
In an effort to best help, I'll try to be thorough.
When I connect my Vibrant to PC, I get the "USB Device Not Recognized" and "Error Code 43" notifications & "Unknown Device" designation in Device Manager. Also, when I set updates to automatic, I get an "Drivers failed to install" notification (paraphrased).
I am running EDT's Project V with one of the Bullet 1.2/1.42 kernels. While I DO NOT believe the ROM or Kernel are causing issue, I will likely change both soon to confirm.
To solve the issue, I have attempted the following in USB Debugging and Mass Storage modes:
1. Plugged into 3 different PCs (2 running XP, 1 running W7).
a. Multiple usb ports in each.
2. Used 4 different micro USB cables (two are original Samsung cables).
3. Allowed windows to autdetect & install drivers (fails).
4. Installed 32 bit drivers & 64 bit drivers from multiple sources using the included setup files (uninstalled between).
5. Manually directed Windows to 32 bit and 64 bit drivers using Device Manager.
6. Attempted to connect to Kies Mini in Kies mode (uninstalled program after failure).
*As a side note, I successfully connected a Captivate & Fascinate (neither mine) to one of the PCs using one of the same Samsung cables I have tried.
*And another: I have not tried to connect the Vibrant recently, but have successfully connected the phone to multiple PCs in the past.
To this point, I have not tried:
1. Manually installing I9000 drivers.
2. Installing a new Froyo kernel and/or ROM.
3. Reverting to a previous Froyo nandroid that connected in the past.
4. Flashing an Eclair kernel then reverting to a stock Eclair nandroid.
Those will likely be the next steps, but if any users have had success using additional methods, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Try this from Unlockr.com (was for HTC drivers but you can clear remaining Samsung drivers if any)
1. Download USBDeview
http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html
2. While the phone is still plugged in, open USBDeview and sort by manufacturer. Find all the Samsung drivers and delete them all.
3. Once all have been deleted, unplug the phone from the USB cable and plug it back in.
4. The correct drivers should reinstall automatically (check the drivers as they are installing, one should say ADB Device driver).

Downloaded USBDeview from the provided link. Program confirmed that I have already deleted all Samsung drivers.
When I left program running and plugged Vibrant back in, I got:
1. Same error notification (device has malfunctioned).
2. Windows did not try to download drivers (despite permission in Windows Update).
3. USBDeview did not recognize that a USB device had been plugged in (checked "Display devices without drivers" under Options & refreshed).
Thanks for the reply & a new method to attempt though! Something's gotta work eventually.
"device has malfunctioned"
"Drivers failed to install" notification"
edit: just letting you know my experiences with those failure notices. for me it had nothing to do with drivers and such. it was faulty hardware.
Ive had this problem with one of my MS Bluetrak mouses. The USB dongle fried and burned and messed up one of my usb2.0 ports on my laptop, leaving me with only one. Might be your usb port in your phone that's malfunctioned. My two vibrants have loose connections now because of the way it pulled left or right while charging. so it's either your usb port on pc or the phone has a bent chip or massive dust...idk
sorry i cant help. another alternative is to replace your usb part on your phone.

Yeah, looking that way, huh?
Anyway, thanks again.
I had a similar situation. I had 4 micro usb cables, two samsung stock ones (captivate/vibrant), 1 blackberry, 1 which I forgot where I got it from. Long story short, the blackberry one which coincidentally was the thickest cable of the bunch was the only one that consistently detected my phone. Hope that helps...

Haha, tried my thickest cable for 15 min again just to see.
Unfortunately, I'm getting close to giving up.
So:
1. No smartphone for a while ... Boo!
2. Or no Odin ever ... Double boo!!

THANK YOU!!!! I tried using my wife's cable and it did the trick! It sucks because I saw your comment a few days ago but it didn't register but this morning I am sleepless so decided to give it a shot again and voila!!! Thank you boss.
I have been working through this for a while as well. As far as I can tell, the problem is isolated to only my machine, even though there are a couple of different USB controllers within. Both cables I have and the CM7.1-nightly (various attempted) Vibrant I am using will connect to my laptop and my other desktop, but not to my Asus P8Z68-V Pro (either directly or through a hub, through the USB3 controller and USB3 + hub). I have also tried a separate stock Vibrant, same results. All I get on my uber-rig is charging
one thing that HAS worked (in a limited fashion) is using the hub built in to my Razer Tarantula keyboard, however its USB 1.1 and cant supply the proper voltage. So code 43 becomes code 10 (This Device Cannot Start [USB Hub Power Exceeded]), still no functionality.
fortunately my mobo has a built in bluetooth module and I can just push things around with that. slowly... Will be keeping an eye out for bios and chipset updates to see if they resolve, and in the future may try an add-in USB2 card
Ok so I was previously running Hydr0g3n ICS ROM an older version and I had mount problems where only internal sd would mount, but it mounted at least. Occasionally I'd have to reboot my laptop because of no detection but that'd fix it.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago and I installed Resurrection Remix 04/05 but got really weird issues when connecting to my laptop e.g. installing device drivers, failing, usb sounds coming and going, device being recognised then disappearing again. Eventually no response. I reflashed, fully wiped, everything, experimented with drivers. Then plugged it into a mates (newer) laptop and it worked?
Back to mine, didn't work, installed Hydr0g3n ICS 05/05 which ran a lot smoother but still same issues, I repeated the steps above and even after device drivers actually successfully installed, it'd work and then next day no response or detection when plugging in USB. Since then I've gone through the drivers route again, trying all sorts of windows fixes, it still works fine when plugged into a newer laptop.
So after all my research etc I've realised that it seems to be some sort of power issue with the phone/ROM, perhaps the newer laptops have more USB hubs which aren't shared between many devices and so it works but mine is very intermittent if not non-existent. Oh, all other USB devices work, flash drives, external hard drives, I have never had any issues with any USB devices. Just this.
Also, I've tried toggling USB Debugging, and MTP UMS PTP, nothing. Read something about fast charge but have no notification that it's enabled on boot and no option to disable it in Kernel tweaks since I'm not on a supported kernel.
Hydr0g3n ICS ROM 2012 05 05 SGS2
3.0.29 Siyah v3.1.2
Any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE:
I ordered a powered USB hub off eBay, it arrived today and did not work with the phone.
UPDATE 2:
So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.
It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?
I plugged it in and hey presto, it popped up -_-
It's so strange the stock cable works on everyone elses laptops but mine, I don't know if it'll still work tomorrow though, I suppose if I don't re-comment then it still is working.
Bump?

just try 2 flash the latest siyah kernel and check
On Windows 7, after several USB connect-disconnect, I would experience Windows not responding to connection any more on that very USB port.
I usually have adb server running in background, so "Safely remove" feature is blocked, and I would simply remove after file operations are over.
I made a .bat file on desktop, that simply performs "adb kill-server", so that I can safely remove it, and have not experienced this problem since then.

I've tried all of the kernels, Siyah, Thoravukk, NEAK, and multiple versions of Siyah too, including the latest one.
Also my powered USB hub arrived today and it did not remedy the issue.

Could you perhaps explain this a little more to me?
I plug it in and literally it charges but absolutely nothing else happens. Anything else works in the same port, just not the phone for some reason.
USB problems basics .
USB port should be mainboard port .
Usb Port on phone multiple USB problem posts say clean port .
Kies or Samsung USB drivers should be installed with Kies not running .
USB cable try Samsung cable or another .
Try USB debugging off and or on .

1) Yes they are all mainboard ports - No response.
2) Have cleaned USB ports on mainboard many times. This seems irrelevant too since all other devices are recognized.
3) Have also experimented with combinations of this. (All combinations) Nothing.
4) I have only tried the Samsung cable since it's all I have, and it works on all of my friends laptops.
Also, I plug it in, and it draws power (aka it charges) but nothing else. Not even a windows 'bong'. Even with the powered USB hub, it still only charges.
However the minute I plug it into a friends laptop it seems to work just fine.
@ op
goto device manager and uninstall the android devices you see there with the option "delete device drivers completely" and make a reboot.
now install the usb drivers and plug in the device.

This last point tells me there are possibly some registry settings on your computer that are keeping the drivers from loading properly.
I've never had to do this, so I don't know what to look for EXACTLY, but you may need to get a registry cleaner and try to eradicate all traces of Kies and Samsung drivers from your computer, then re-install either Kies (to get the drivers) or the stand-alone USB drivers.
I remember reading another post some time back about some other guy who actually totally re-installed Windows... which is a bit like using explosives to kill a mosquito, if you ask me.
However, try bala_gamer's suggestion first. That may be all that is needed.

NO its the phone USB port .
Agree that if all fails try reinstall of Kies and drivers after a delete .

So believe it or not I didn't actually go into detail in the op! But a few more things to note are that the device does not show up in device manager at all. Even with shadow device detection enabled. I have used all manner of driver software available to clear out all old usb drivers/any drivers which may be conflicting etc. I have also removed and reinstalled the usb host controllers and root hubs many times

Yes, indeed I also believed it to be some sort of registry problem, I have also used tune up utlities, registry mechanic and ccleaner (I think thats all there was!) and run registry scans/cleans/fixes/defrags. To no avail. I was actually considering reinstalling windows or something.

Hi guys!
I have a rooted international Galaxy S3 (i9300) phone with a custom rom: UltimaRom (version 8.x), and using XXELLA kernel (?) and XXELLA Modem version.
Since a while, I'm trying to manage the files in it (phone memory or sd card) from my computer, simply by using an USB cable (the one given with the phone or even other cables, it doesn't matter) and the standard MTP protocol, which is used by Google since Android 3.0. And, whatever I try to do, Windows doesn't seem to notice anything. In my device manager, nothing appears. Nothing either in the "My Computer" window, it just doesn't "exist". No reaction at all from Windows. The Phone's charging, but this is all it is.
And I have the same problem using another computer (like my own laptop, or my brother's one). All computers are running Windows 8 x64 Pro.
I tried to install, re install, delete, etc. all the phone drivers I have on this computer, tried to install Samsung Kies, tried some "mounting" apps on the Play Store, nothing's working.
What should I do to make it work?
Thanks a lot!
Might be stating the obvious but is your phone set at usb debugging? I have the same issue from time to time but when I unplug and plug back it fixes itself.
Hope you get your stuff fixed soon.

That's odd.. I use Ultima ROM and have updated to 8.1.1. I just checked just to make sure (my last update was done OTA) and yeah, computer recognized phone right away.. heard a little computer sound and everything. I am also running Windows 8
The base changed in v8. If you haven't done a fac reset since then you should try that.
Ok I just tried to make a factory reset, nothing changes...
Oh, and if that can help: when the phone's booting, Windows says "Unrecognized device". When it's booted up, it disapears.
Anyone ?

Thank you for your response !
- Easy UMS doesn't seem to work, even if the app doesn't show any error on the phone
- How do I connect via ADB ? I tried to connect the phone while it is in Download Mode, nothing appears on Windows or Odin
- As I said, in Download Mode, Odin doesn't seems to recognize anything...
And of course, I already tried to change the cable, the USB port, or even the computer i'm connecting the phone to...

Starting to sound like a damaged micro USB port on the phone possibly, or a driver's problem
Oh, and there's a thing: when I reboot the phone, while the Samsung logo appears on the screen with the short jingle, the PC makes 3 or 4 times a sound like something has been plugged, and showes a "Unrecognized device" warning window. When the boot is finished, and the rom is loaded, everything just disappears and no sound is any longer made by the PC.
Also, please note that when I connect the phone to the PC (using the same PC, cable and USB port of course), the phone charges up just like before, without any problem.
have you tried the old drivers?
search Google for " Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 "
disconnect your computer from the internet
Install the drivers.
don't reconnect to the internet.
connect your phone and let windows find the drivers
Hello Everyone,
I was worndring if it is in some how possible to upgrade my GT-I9070 from gingerbread 2.3.6 to Kitkat or other custumized rom without having to use odin.
I have a problem with connecting my phone to the my pc, my laptop won't regonize it, I think is a hardware problem.

Not unless you are already rooted. Does the PC not recognize that you have plugged it in at all or does it just not load the drivers correctly? Best way to tell is to open your Device Manager and plug in the phone. the DM should reload and show something, whether an error or not. If it does not blink out and reload when you plug / unplug the phone, then it's either a hardware issue with the phone's USB port, a bad cable, or bad USB port on PC. And it is possible for a phone to charge correctly, but have issues connecting to a computer if the data pins are messed up. If it IS the phone's port, the repair isn't that bad and could be handle with some patience and simple tools as this one does not involve soldering. You'd need this:

Dude really thankful,
As you say, the PC dosn't recognize that the phone is plugged at all, I try all the usb port on my laptop, different cable, and even different laptop and the same problem keep comming up.
I tried also to reboot in odin mode to see if my laptop detecet anything, but nada, nothing in the DM.
Also, like you expect, it can charge but no data connection, and whene it turned off and I plug it it automaticly turned on by itself.
I pretty convinced that it usb port is screwed.
So, to install a rom my phone have to be rooted!! no way to root it from the recovery mode?!
Thanks again

You can try to clean your USB port of the phone with some compressed air, in case some pocket lint got in there too. Doesn't take much to mess these things up, unfortunately. But yea, I doubt there is a way to root it in the stock recovery as most Samsung phones don't have this option. It'd take less time to just fix it probably then figuring out how to jump through all the other hoops to find a way around it.
