This is driving me to drink, currently running the powerwashed GB rom (ec09 radio, eh09 rom). no computer in my house (I have 4 ) will recognize my phone, usually nothing happens but sometimes i get a "usb device not recognized" error. Tried 3 different cables. Never had problems before. Can anyone help?
Did u try changing from kies to mass storage in usb settings?
yes it has no effect. The Samsung Drivers are installed on all my computers btw also. Restarting the phone while plugged in doesn't help, toggling USB debugging doesn't help.

have you tried cleaning the usb port on your phone? Compressed air, contact cleaner, or denatured alcohol with a q-tip etc... sounds like a connection issue.
Yea tried that, no dice. Sometimes i can get the "usb connected" to come up on the phone but when you select to copy files from your computer the phone acts like its connected but the computer does nothing. Heck i even tried another sd card
Right before I had this rom on the phone I had flashed back to stock ED05 and it worked fine.
The only thing I can do is connect thru bluetooth, but I need a download connection to odin anything. Is there anyway to delete this Samsung Kies off my phone?
For me info if I keep my phone plugged in and restart the phone windows picks it up but gives a warning that the USB device is not recognized. If you try and re install the Samsung USB driver it says its already installed.
Finally got it, it was definitely something in the GB software. Was finally able to odin eb01 then to ed05 on both of them plugged in with no problems. Now on CM7.
Hi, I have a Galaxy Player 4.0 that I rooted with SuperOneClick. It was working fine at first then a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my PC no longer recognizes it as a device, it just charges when I plug it in. So, I looked around andn tried a few things:
Restarted it several times
Tried with all the different modes in USB settings
Tried with different cable
Tried with two other computers, a Mac Mini and a Win7 laptop
Tried to unroot, couldn't get that to work
Did a factory data reset
Nothing works. I can't remember anything I did since rooting that would cause this, except I installed the Samsung Kies driver on the PC. I can't remember if the USB mass storage was working after Kies. Does anyone have other ideas?
Bump. This is rather a big deal, as I cannot transfer files between my PC and Galaxy player in any way other than over WiFi, which does not work reliably. I don't have a microSD card adapter either.
You might want to check if anything related to samsung/android appears in the device manager. Alternatively, to use heimdall I use Zadig to switch from samsung's driver to libusb but it does show you everything connected to your computer via usb when you check the option to list all devices. You should try this with and without usb debuging enabled. If nothing shows up you know it id your player that is at fault.

Thanks,
The first time I plugged it in without USB debugging enabled nothing showed up, when I enabled USB debugging, in Zadig and Device manager there showed up an unknown device, trying to update driver in Device manager showed that it already had the best driver, and in zadig driver replacement failed. Now, when I plug it in, either with or without USB debugging enabled, nothing shows up anywhere. I have tried with other computers and other cables, and nothing works, so I am pretty sure it's the player. I am willing to to a complete factory system reset, but I don't know how.

I'm having the same problem with my rooted 5.0. Although it's not a huge problem for me (I use dropbox for file syncing) I would love to sort this out, let me know if your factory reset works!
You can find it in the Privacy section of the settings menu.

I suspect you have a faulty usb connector on your device, but it doesn't hurt to do a factory reset. But you might want to backup your data first Did you try to jerk the usb cable in your player? A loose/broken connector would explain all your problems. Even if it is a software problem, I can't see how to flash your device with the original firmware since you don't have a sdcard & usb doesn't work...
Btw, I was referring to zadig only to show the devices attached to your computer, not to change the driver!

Thanks, I only tried to change the driver because it showed no driver already installed. I have a bit of electronics background so I may crack it open and take a look at the connector. I already tried the factory reset in the privacy menu, but that only wipes data apparently, not the system. I do have an sd card, I just don't have an adapter to the PC.
EDIT: After wiggling the cable around a bit, it showed the USB icon in the status bar, so I clicked connect USB mass storage, but the computer still showed a badly installed driver and then after some more wiggling the icon disappeared, so I am pretty sure it's a problem with the connector. BTW, how would I flash the stock firmware to unroot?
my phone will not be recognized by the computer no matter what i do. It recognizes my friends i777 just fine in odin and as a storage device so it isnt my drivers. With mine it only makes the connection sound and says device drivers failed to install. I am running shostock 3, philz kernel and windows 7. I have tried everything and i am out of ideas, please help. thanks
Install Kies fresh, install android sdk and update it, reboot, try different usb ports.
Also u have to disable usb debugging and let it install those drivers, enable it and let it install those drivers and boot into download mode and do a regular reboot and let it install those. Always worked for me after following those steps.
If he's friends phones works. Then I think it's the phone usb. My own phone has the same issues but my usb on phone is messed up. Says charging while its not chargin and that happens I get the whole Device not recognize and fail to install. Try cleaning your usb with 99% Isopropyl of the instructions above this post don't work out.

I will try this. I appreciate the help
I tried the suggestions.....
I downloaded the samsung drivers correctly because my pc recognizes any other samsung but no matter what i've tried it says usb device not recognized for my galaxy. Im stuck in a boot loop and the only thing i can access is download mode when i plug it in the computer. I can't access anything with the battery in, it just flashes the galaxy logo over and over. Thank you for you time in advance
Hi all,
I have a Rooted, WanamLite v6.3 ZSEMC1 ROM with AdamKernel 2.2.1+. i9300.
I updated recently from another previous version of the same ROM because I had noticed that my USB functionality has not been working. Specifically, the MTP application. Soon further found that my computer does not recognise ADB commands at all, as I used to install .apks from my computer quickly with adb install.
Odin does not even recognise my phone, even when in download mode. The only thing I havent tried yet is ADB in CWM Recovery, but im 99% sure that wont work still.
When I plug the micro-usb plug in it charges fine, but no data connection seems to occur. No windows detection, No USB device connected in the notifications bar.
I have tried:
-Backing up
-Installing vanilla ROM
-Installing stock ROM
-Using different computer with drivers
-Reinstalling Samsung Drivers
-Tried using Kies for the drivers
-Changing SD cards
-Power Cycling phone removing sim and micro-sd cards. Turning on after some time.
-Cleaning the micro-usb port on the phone with dental picks.
Im pretty much out of ideas apart from trying to organise to send it for repairs, after un-rooting.
If I was to re-root do you think this would solve the problem?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks :good:
UPDATE: I fixed this by using Mr. Despairs suggestion.
Power off, pull battery, SIM, SD card. Power cycled the power button with no battery in it.
Waited about 1-2 minutes.
Battery in boot straight to Download Mode.
Only got it to recognise once in about 15 tries.
Thanks again Mr Despair!
You could also try another cable. Or what I read in another german forum: Shut down your phone, take the battery out and in and reboot. Then reboot into download mode and plug in your phone. Then your PC should search for drivers.
Do this as a colleague says Mr. Despair replace the cable. Often dirt in the connector. Clean the connector on the phone.
Also check ...
Also check on a different computer/port - it could be a problem with the USB drivers on your computer.
Probably the safest test would be to cross-test combinations of 2-3 computers vs 2-3 phones.

He already wrote that he tried more PCs. He would have very bad luck if it is on both. But trying doesn't cost. He shoule then also try to plug it direct into the USB ports and not through a hub.
I have also tried two other cables which both previously worked.
Ill give the hard reboot into download mode a try.
No PC recognises it at all at the moment.
I have tried all USB ports, directly not through a hub or whatnot. This includes other computers too.
Im open to any other suggestions.
Thanks for the help so far
Have you installed KIES?
KIES and ODIN cannot co-exist.
Install ONLY Samsung USB drivers then run ODIN.
As for installing apks, you shouldn't need to install via adb. You can just copy to sdcard and run from there.

I had used ODIN without KIES existing on my system.
I installed KIES to try and get it to read my phone for once.
I used ADB to install .apks when I had ADB running. I have the problem now that I cant use it, because my phone MTP, ADB or even Download Mode wont read my phone. All from different computers etc.
:crying:
Sounds more and more like a hardware failure. What about reboot to CWM then in mounts and storage to mount the USB drive? Can your PC recognize it this way?

Yeah im thinking hardware too. If I throw it into CWM and try to mount /sdcard, it doesnt to anything. Nothing changes it just stays permanently on mount /sdcard. (Its not mounting).
Mounting external_sd works but its not helping me.
Anyone ever returned a SGS3 to factory or phone provider?

I initially tried this with no success, however after about 15 tries I got it to work once!
Thanks heaps for this!
Pull Battery, SIM and SD. Press Power buttons a few times and let it sit for about 1 minute.
Battery in and boot straight to Download mode. Worked once in about 15 tries. Reflashed everything and it works now!
Thanks Despair!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
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
/Amiroslo
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.
