question on how to make the upper left usb icon to appear on my phone when connecting usb cable to my computer it wont appear but it charges the phone battery need help i think my phone dont have a usb driver how am i going to install???
We need more info, phone? ROM? stuff like that...
check you have your phone drivers installed or not .
also check from your phone settings . which mode is enabled in usb conenctions .
My phone is sky vega xpress IM-A710K running gingerbread 2.3.4 kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected] #1 Software version v3.17
The easiest way is to flash a different Rom.
i got drivers installed on my PC but i dunno in my phone and it is in USB debugging mode i got no USB setting on my phone... and how am i going to flash my phone when my PC doesn't detect it ((

Is the phone Rooted? What kind of phone is it? I'll assume it has an SD Card. If the phone is Rooted. Do you have a Custom Recovery installed? Such as Clowork Mod. You do not need USB to flash a Rom. You do need a Recovery installed. Pull the SD Card, put the Rom on the Root of your SD Card. Boot into Recovery, do a full wipe. Then flash the Rom.

no my phone is not rooted i can't seem to root it because my computer does not detect usb when plugged in and my phone is sky vega xpress IM-a710k and yes it has a micro sd card i tried rooting through air but still failed any suggestion how to root without using USB cable and any tutorial how to do the flashing my roms are all stocks
You said your in USB Debugging mode. Go into Menu-Settings-Applications-development, make sure it's checked. Didn't find any custom Recovery for the device. I did find Unlock Root that says it will root the device. Link is below.

yup its already checked and already installed the unlock root when trying to press the root button it says plugged in USB ((
Make sure your USB Cable is a good one. Had a similar issue a while back, USB just quit being recognized. Turned out my cable had gone bad. They wear out like anything else. Also, beware of knock off USB Cables.

uhmm okie will try to buy a new USB cable to try it out going to look for someone heading to south korea lol )) and how come if the USB is broken how come it still charges the phone's battery?
You should be able to find the USB Cable you need here in the states, or online. Unless it's something really strange. The cacle will still charge the device, because that does not put much demand on the cable. But if it's transfering data, and it's frayed, or damaged in anyway it will not work.

Are you sure? I did a search for your device last night. Looked at pics, and specs. Looks like it uses a standard mini USB data Cable.
TEAM MiK
Mik Roms Since 3/13/11
yup it needed a usb cable with 20 pins which is very hard to find here in the Philippines because most phones use here are only the popular ones which has only less than 20 pins in the teeth of the usb cable
Then it's most likely better to just get it from the manufacturer.
gulp then i will have to go to South Korea then hahah ))

First of all I am a big-Noob.
My LG optimus one P-500 is in stock ROM.
My Problem :-
Earlier USB was working fine but now
when I plug it in to the AC Adapter it charges OK but when I plug it in to the USB after that it only charges and neither the Phone nor the PC recognizes the USB data connection.
I have tried
1) Power off the phone and remove the battery for a couple of seconds and power it back up, after doing this the USB does not connects. Not even recognised by PC or Phone
2) Device manager also does not detect anything.
3) Uninstalled modem driver and reinstalled USB driver but no result.
Please help
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Request again
Dear mates
I have really very high respect for the forum so please help me out.
ThanQ
Cheers
This happened to me twice before. I had to send it to LG's Service Center because I saw no way of fixing it since the computer wouldnt know what to do with it...
If you have custom recovery installed, you might be able to flash an original ROM over it. This wasn't an option for me before and it seemed like the only way to fix my phone. Don't take my word for it though. Try for the service center first if possible...
Did you try going to settings and choosing Mass Storage only?
Also, change the USB port of the cable with which you connect your phone (plug the cable in another one - try this with all ports if it doesn't work the first time)...
Before going to any service, do a backup and Factory Reset your device, then try again...
Oh, and disable LG modem from Device Manager after installing the USB drivers.
USB not getting detected
I am trying in choosing Mass Storage only.
"Also, change the USB port of the cable with which you connect your phone (plug the cable in another one - try this with all ports if it doesn't work the first time)..."
Not helping either
Disabled LG modem from Device Manager after installing the USB drivers.
No use

I will try this definitely but going to service means 3-4 days without phone . really very scary .
thanks mate
anymore help
Okay , I did face this problem before and I did about hundreds of advice from my friends but this is the step that works.
I discovered that this happens when you do crazy **** on your sd card with applications such as titanium backup or root explorer. Curiousity kills the cat.
Firstly you need:
1) Usb Card Reader [Of course which suits with your sdcard]
2) Computer
Firstly, you want to dismount the sdcard from your phone and mount it to the USB Card Reader.
Connect the Usb Card Reader to your Computer.
You should be able to gain entry to the sdcard
Next,clear everything on your sd card then place your sd card on your phone back and do a factory reset. If you don't do a factory reset then you must do it all over again if you decided to connect the usb to the phone. After reset-ing the phone , try to connect your phone to the computer. Congratulations.
Note: This works for me but it doesn't meant that it will work for you , but I think that this is worth the try.

Ur phone charges through usb that means your phone usb port/usb cable is ok. Do this :
Uninstall the drivers, restart the pc and try connecting the phone again. Remember not to install the drivers again. Win7 save a dump of old drivers and i think it will auto detect it. Post results here.

Are you sure you are having the latest driver?
try this:
Code:
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
install it,
(you may have to choose language from the last tab, 1st or 2nd option)
and choose P500 from "driver installation"
I didnt experience this issue but if i cant help im sorry.

None of the above methods worked on mine as well - same results on different cable(pc/os).
Will try to flash rooted original firmware via custom recovery, del custome recovery and root and send it to service.
I just bought a pre-rooted fascinate. The dude i bought it from said he had MIUI flashed on it, and I trusted the guy. The rom was a TSM Voodoo kernel based Rom. I was dumb and didn't read up on Voodoo and MTD. Since I know that MIUI and CM7 are very similar, I flashed CM7 on top of the rom running.
Everything runs fine, except USB DOES NOT WORK! I cant even enter download mode to use Odin. Is there a way to get this fixed?
Thanks in advance!
The Mtd based roms such as cm7 and miui actually use the nexus drivers of I am remembering right. If I were near my computer I would gram you a link to one of the threads

It is not the fact that the computer will not recognize the phone.
The phone itself does not recognize the fact that a usb is plugged in even with the usb debugging on it does not pop up with any usb commands on the phone. usb mass storage will not come up and because the phone will not recognize the usb i am not able to get the phone to access download mode.
couple simple things to try..
1) make sure your using a factory oem usb cable
2) clean the usb port with some contact cleaner(make sure phone is off and battery pulled)
if this does nothing than maybe the phone itself has a problem and will need to be repaired/or replaced.
I know you probably already tried this but, have you got the latest samsung drivers installed on your computer you are using. From what I have seen it it most likely doesn't use these drivers but, it is worth a shot I guess. Like the guy said before there might be something wrong with the USB port. Even when I have completely bricked my phone and it will do absolutely nothing, I am always able to get into download mode. That mode is like a pre-boot mode that doesn't use any drivers or files associated with any of the roms we flash on them (as far as I am aware of). May be the reason the guy sold it to you in the first place. He couldn't do anything with it.

I'm actually running the MiniCM7 from nAa (version 2.2.1 with nAa kernel v.11) and I can't connect my phone to my PC anymore! Any PC displays the ''USB Slot not recognized'' and my phone won't display the ''Connect to your PC'' message in the notification bar. Any help please? Thanks a lot

1st make sure which one is the problem, is it from the phone or from the pc. have u try to put the cable in other usb port on your pc?
Try to re-flash your rom once again. If that is not working too, reboot your phone in cwm. make sure the cable is connected between your phone and the pc, then select mount and usb in cwm. select mount usb. see if this working for you.
<-----If i helped u

Does it charge when the USB cable is plugged in? E.g. does the phone state that it is recharging?
If in Windows, check if the device manager (Start Button > Right-click on Computer > Properties > Device Manager) still detects 'something' on the USB port, if you see a yellow exclamation mark, perhaps reinstall the drivers for your phone. (Flashtool comes with drivers IIRC). In any case, it might be worth a try to run SEUS with the phone disconnected, then it'll offer a 'repair' option, after which you must select your type of phone and connect it, hopefully the tool does not rely on the same driver. This would flash stock rom and stock kernel to your phone.
Should this fail, if your battery and WiFi still work, perhaps you can engineer a solution that downloads a new ROM over WiFi. You could upload it to your Google drive and download through the app or just use the internet browser. Then use a file manager like Root Explorer to move the files to the correct location on the SD-Card. Boot it into CWM and flash the new ROM and see if it helps.
Is the stock SE cable???, have you tried with another cable???
I have the same problem with the SE cable, my phone don't connect correctly with my PC, it disconnects automatically or never work...
Actually I'm using a Samsung cable for use the phone with my PC and works perfectly.
Actually u can try to take out the memory card and used card reader to other ROM beside that u used one. Then flash it. see how it going.

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.

Sent from the little guy
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?

Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum. I've got a Samsung i777 on android 2.3.6 kernel 2.6.35.7 build number gingerbread.uckk6
I've recently bought this phone off ebay
My phone does not get detected by windows 7 or Macbook. I've tried changing the USB flex cable with I9100 v2.3 but still no luck.
When I connect USB port it beeps and shows mtp-initialization/mtp-connected on the phone but it is not shown on windows. It says USB cannot recognise the device. I've got a s3 and ideos x3 both of them are detected.
I've installed kies 3 on my laptop.
I had to swtich off the wifi on the phone because it consumes a lot of battery, I think it is because of the android version I'm using!
I want to root the phone and unlock it!!
Any help is appreciated!

I'm guessing the problem is the Samsung drivers you have installed for the s3. Try uninstalling those and installing the correct drivers for s2.

Did you install another ROM? It might help to Wipe system, Data, ETC! it appears to be a software problem. Or at least my guess is the ROM your using.
The Galaxy phones all use the same USB drivers whether it's an S2, S3, S4, etc., so if the installed drivers were working for your S3, it's unlikely to be a driver issue.
Can you boot it into download mode? If you happen to have a USB jig, that's the easiest. Otherwise, power off the phone, unplug the USB cable, hold Vol +/Vol-, then plug in the USB cable. It should go into ODIN download mode. See if Windows detects the phone that way. If so, it very well could be something weird with the OS installed (although it appears to be stock).
If you can get into download mode, you can flash a stock kernel to make sure you are starting fresh. A good file repository is found here. I recommend the stock UCKH7 image I777_UCKH7_OCD_No_BL.7z (you'll also get root).
And yes, the UCKK6 release had a serious bug related to the wifi that could drain your battery. Best to go with UCKH7.
You could also download an app that allows you to enter download mode.

Are you saying to get a balloon notification in the tray that says the USB device is not recognized? A possible reason for that is a faulty USB cable or USB port (funny enough, I actually got that message last night when I was playing around with my Captivate, and switching USB ports made it work). I know you said you've tried other computers an another USB cable, but that's about my only idea. Maybe there's some debris inside the connector that's messing up the connection.
When you say you changed the "USB flex cable", are you talking about the internal connector and board inside the phone? If so, perhaps the I777 connector board is actually a little different than the I9100 board and causing a compatibility issue.
The bug in UCKK6 related to wifi didn't affect everybody, but it definitely affected a lot of people (based upon reports here).

If you have an SD card, you can download another ROM on that SD card from your computer and then you can install custom recovery (CWM) and then install the ROM from SD card.

First ill run you through the problem I had. Just for reference did you use Mr. Cooks script before flashing Cyanogenmod 11? One of his scripts for cleaning before flashing, actually deletes a certain file, not to keen on which one. What it results in though is not being able to flash OF ROMS and some certain custom ROMS! So id recommend alliance's ROM! As for the "Getting the ROM on your device, you could put the ROM on your SD though recovery "Mount and storage/Mount mass storage/" or just use a micro sd card adapter and move it on there that way.
Thanks for your reply. Would you mind sending me the link on how to do that step by step as mentioned I'm new to Samsung phones and also this forum.

What state is your phone currently in? Is it still not detected by the computer? You are still on 2.3.6, correct?
If it's still not being detected by your computer, I'm not sure if you can flash anything needed using the stock recovery. I know that when I flashed stock JB, I was able to boot into stock recovery and directly apply the standard CWM update file here. It will give boot into a temporary CWM that should allow you to flash other ZIP files (like a ROM), although I had trouble doing that (so I ended up flashing the AJK_v4.9_NoSwap.zip kernel using the MobileOdin android app, which gave a permanent CWM recovery).
I'm not sure if this same process works with the 2.3.6 recovery. However, in order to get the stock recovery to see the internal SD card, I had to run adb shell commands to mount the partition (meaning I had to have a working connection from the computer).
Solved!!!
