hey guys, hopefully i can get some help with this...
flashed my Galaxy s2 to 4.0.3 (I9100 XXLPQ) then rooted it using chainfire kernel (followed instrcutions to the tee) everything worked great.. then ran triangleaway app, everythign still fine so far (weo)
a day later i connected my phone to pc to transfer some stuff but it doesnt show up at all anymore. tried connecting on 3x computers w/ different cables. opened device manager, that doesnt pick it up either. kies troubleshoot froze. i decided to do a factory reset (erasing internal sd as well), i had nothing important on the phone anyway. this didnt work. when i try and enable usb storage mode it says i should unplug the cable.so when i unplugand select the mode, it tells me i should connect the cable to use mass storage mode. i plug it in while thats up to see if anything happens...nothing
also there seems to be a huge amount of battery draining going on. this morning i turned on my phone just to complete the charge. i left it for 20min before i left but it was still charging. thought whatever just took it, got to work the thing is like 5% done already
any help would be appreciated thanks!

That's because you have to click under the orange droid to put the phone into mass storage mode. You selected a different USB mode but you have to enable it in order to use it.

How? because i usually do it via menu -> settings-> USB utilities USB mass storage , "connect storage to pc"
Yes, even me now I can't connect to USB not even to the Download mode!
I have no way to even root my phone!!
It's not me, it's more like a general problem floating around!
How about your device-usb driver? they are updated or installed?

It happend after I flashed JK5 (I lost track with so many updates)
The phone is not recognized by windows anymore, cannot access odin or anything.
I have another vibrant and is still working so drivers are installed and everything.
The phone does recognize the connection, lets you choose, can get into download mode, but is just not being seen by the PC,
Since the other vibrant connects fine cable is also right, it is a problem strictly with this phone.
I tried flashing other roms, modems, and so on via CWM but problem is not solved.
Any help or ideas will be appreciated
I had the same problem. Someone said try usb debugging, & it worked like a charm.
Applications/development/usb debugging. I hope this helps.
Thanks, I tried that, and all the options for pairing without success

If USB debugging is enabled, it shouldn't give you a choice of usb connection mode. Make sure your USB cable is unplugged when you enable debugging, or else it will just tell you to unplug and try again.

Same thing happened to me. I just reinstalled making sure all other programs were closed and I haven't had the problem since.
Hope this helps.
Install Kies .

Turn KIES off from taskbar .
Turn USB debugging on phone connect USB mass storage mode and let windows find driver .

No go
Tried all of the above, still no go, could it be my micro usb port on the phone is busted? When i tried connecting as Mass storage it says usb cable is connected, pls remove cable.

No thats just incorrect user settings .
Remove cable go to settings Applications Turn on USB debugging .
And?or turn usb mass storage mode on via settings Wireless and network USB settings then connect cable .

Yup, I did. I removed cables and turned on USB debugging, and tried the mass storage mode, upon connecting it says cable connected and to remove.
I'm getting this problem once I'm in Download mode. It's worked before... why would it stop?
Any tips?
I have the same problem
I seem to have the same problem I connect my phone via USB and get a USB Device Not Recognized message but MTP application opens on the phone. This has only just happened I have had it working before since I had the phone on 2 computers and have tried to different cables now it does not work on either computer. If any one has had any luck I would love to know how you fixed it.
Samsung Galaxy S2 - USB Device not recognized.
Hey Guys,
I have the same problem. I've even tried going into "Recovery" Mode and then running odin.. Still no luck. It just does not recognize the phone.
I tried a different cable but still no luck.
Guys,
i had had the same problem until i started to use the original USB cable(came with the phone).
Have a good luck!

Got the same usb problem, different pc's, driver, cables nothing works.
After three month of use no Kies Odin ore mass storage us....big problem
any news info on this? seems to be quite common, though I only get it with stock roms, custom roms dont seem to have this issue
Cables Guy; I'm trying to figure out if I'm having the same problem as you. Does your phone charge when plugged in? Because mine does not.
i think in your case it might be the usb port in the phone itself, if nothing that you plug works well.
I believe there is an issue with kies/MTP and windows drivers for the rest though.
For me my phone doesnt get detected o nmy onboard USB but it does on the usb3 pccard i have.
any good news to solve this problems?
i got the same problem and worst case is my phone cannot detect sim
I had the same problem.. I just switched back to the original cable that came with the phone & problem was solved..

whats your phone kernel? and are u able to connect to pc as usb storage? or did u flash anything weird before?
So when i try to connect my galaxy to the computer nothing happens. i plug it in and it will start to charge but the phone will not have recognized the fact that it is connected to the computer and the computer doesnt even say "unrecognized device" how do i get the phone and omputer to recognize each other?
Did you install drivers for the phone? What operating system are you on?
yes i have. ive tried both osx and windows 7 and i have made sure to download teh drivers for each
Have you tried to connect it in usb debugging mode? (goto settings, applications, devlopment, check debugging mode?
(I dont know of it will help, but it would be the next thing I would try)
And try different usb ports. I have heard before that it can help.
yeah ive tried all of that it and still nothing, the switching usb ports too
Did you restart the computer after you installed drivers?
I would try installing Samsung Kies (from samsung website, GS2 support page). It also installs drivers and fixed a problem I had with connection.
If all these don't work, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry. I am sure someone here with more experience will be able to help.
yeah haha ive done all of these unfortunately and still nothing, thank you for you suggestions though
Kies had an update within the hour of New years (Pacific).
I discovered this morning that USB debugging mode MUST BE OFF for Kies to recognize and connect to the phone. I'm currently backing up my device in this mode right now.
"Kies Air" also works well, without having to worry about any USB issues.
"Droid Explorer" connects fine with debugging turned on. I have to wait until backup is complete to see if it works with debugging turned off.
I'm having USB port issues right now, so your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps.
Hi all,
I have a really weird problem im hoping someone can help me with.
I cant seem to get my S2 detected in windows when connected via USB. It charges no problems but I cannot see the storage on the phone.
However the phone is deteced in download mode OK so I can use odin to flash firmware if needed. I have tried gonig back to stock image but still makes no difference. Done all the driver installs / uninstalls, reboot of PC and phone etc, but nothing seems to make a difference, I just can see the storage under windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Go 2 Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Device Manager, then plug in a cable and watch for changes to the hardware list. If your phone appears in the list, then all should be ok.
do you mean when the phone is in normal mode or download mode? I cant see the phone listed in device manager when in normal mode.
When i try to put the phone in mass storage mode via the USB utilities in the setting, I get the prompt to connect a USB cable, however, when i do connect it, the pop up fails to disappear and the PC doesnt detect

Probably it's a Windows fault. Try on another computer, but if the problem persists, then it's a phone issue.
yeap, tried it on more than one machine. One one machine it would detect in normal or download mode, but on another machine it detects in download mode but not normal mode. i dont understand how it can transfer data while in download mode as it must detect some sort of storage???

Try turning off 'Usb Debugging' if ticked.
tried that too. when selecting USB mass storage, it prompts that usb debugging will be switched off
Reinstall Windows. This is the best solution.
Hello xda users,
I'm having a really strange problem. When copying files from my PC to my phone (be it the internal storage or the SD card) the window that shows the transfer process just hangs and nothing happens. Example: see transferhang.png from attachments (sorry, can't post links yet)
After leaving it "copy" for a while I get this error:
see cannotcopy.png from attachments. (The error says: Cannot copy item: the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.)
I am running Windows 7. My Galaxy SII is rooted and I am running the MIUI rom. I have searched around and have found no working solution.
However, if I change the USB port from the front of the PC (USB 2.0) to the back (USB 3.0) I can transfer small files like photos but larger ones (like 150MB for example) hang up.
Copying files from the phone to the PC, however, works. I find this whole thing really strange.
If anyone has any idea as to how to fix this please tell me.
Did you try the same thing on another computer?
Did you try to change the use cable?

Tried it on another computer, same thing.
Haven't tried another cable, don't have one.
Did you face the same problem before the MIUI rom? Sometimes the ROM could cause the problem

Running stock android (4.1.2) I did not experience the same problems, but I had other issues.
While on stock 4.1.2 my computer couldn't detect my device for some reason. It always failed to install the drivers and the "Troubleshoot connection issue" option in Kies did nothing. Every time I connected my device to the PC I got a "Device not recognized..." pop-up. I was able to get my PC to detect the phone but I had to do really strange things (strange as in I have no clue why it works) and it didn't always work.
What I did to get my PC to connect to my phone was:
1. Open settings
2. Go to USB options
3. Choose "Mount USB storage" (most likely not worded this way)
4. Connect my phone to the PC
5. Get a "Device not recognized" error
6. Go to developer options -> Enable USB debugging
7. Boom, it works. (but as I said not 100% of the time)
While doing all of this I had Kies running, otherwise the method doesn't yield anything.
I tried just enabling USB debugging and connecting the phone, but it didn't work that way. For some reason the only way to get it working was to mount the USB storage and enable USB debugging after that, all the while running Kies on my PC.

Currrently Im using Neat ROM for my GS2. I have kies totally uninstalled. I plugin my phone to the pc and it recogonized it. I have the USB debuggin set on. You can try to install another ROM tho, and make a full wip etc. I cant tell u that getting a new ROM will 100% solve your problem, but you can give it a try tho.
/Amiroslo
I have tried doing a full wipe and it doesn't help.
The only roms I have tried are stock 4.1.2 and MIUI.
I can't tell whether it's a Windows problem or a problem with my phone.
Try new stuff
Either
Try a new Rom, stock or aosp or aokp
update your usb drivers, just google and you will find the new one
Got a new cable. Worked.
