Hi,
My Samsung Galaxy Gio (S5660) is unable to connect to any computer (already tried on 4, all with kies, other cables, etc). It always says unrecognized device, even on downloading mode. It is on stock gingerbread, but it was on CM 7.2, i remember i flashed a ext4formatter.zip on the procedure, does it has anything to do with?
Any ideas?

Do you have USB Debugging enabled? Also allow Unknown resources?
Yes, already tried with them on or off, nothing seems to be working..

Did you check to make sure the drivers are installed?

Yes, I even reinstalled them via Kies, and even installed Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones, etc..
Try Unistalling, then reinstalling the drivers.

Anything related to software (PC) was already done. As I said, tried on 4 computers, all with the same error. Kies and drivers already full uninstalled/installed. XP/Seven.
In my opinion it seems to be about the phone. Even when trying to install a official update from samsung the installation fails with a 0x80010093 error code.
Doesn't ext4/rts have nothing to do with this?
Regards
I would try flashing a different Rom. See if the issue persists.

The thing is that for flashing the roms provided here is by ODiN, and as I cant connect it, I cant flash it
Flashed CM7.2 via CMW and still no sucess. Tried to mount USB Storage on CWM and the same happens...
Same problem here, on my SGS1 I9000.
I tried every solution found on this forum but nothing worked.
If you find a way to work, write it please
Well till it gets resolved you can try using Wireless adb. There are also several Wireless file transfer apps. When I get home I'll link a few

Kies won't recognise a phone with custom ROM...one possible way is to connect your phone to pc using stock firmware, allow drivers to be downloaded then flash the custom ROM again...my SGA running a custom ROM is able to connect to pc cause drivers were downloaded before this...
Another alternative is to enable windows update and allow it to auto-download the drivers...provided your internet connection is on...hope this helps...

The things is:
My Kies didnt recognize my phone with the stock rom.
My Odin didnt recognize my phone with the stock rom. (download mode - non related to the rom).
My Windows Explorer didnt recognize my phone with the stock rom.
So i've tried to install a custom rom as it could (it shouldnt) be a rom issue.
And the same as I've written happens.
Owh...stock GB is supposed to be in .rfs format...not .ext4...the zip must have reformatted it...

I have been using fascinate for 7 months, and now I am using cm7 roms jt's and miui interchangingly. From two weeks ago, the phone started not being recognized through USB with saying "unknown device". I am not sure if it is because I accidently pulled out usb while mounting before.
Currently I am stuck with cm7 roms,which I love of course. no odin works since not recognized by pc. I don't think it is the driver issue cuz it worked fine for some time after switching to cm7 roms.
does anyone having this problem??

I had a similar problem a while back
I knew I had the correct drivers....even though your pc doesn't recognize it odin may still, I would boot odin and put your phone in download mode and see if it will set up a com port..if it did you should be able to use odin still...in my case coming from cm7 build 5(i think) my pc wouldn't recognize my phone but I was still able to odin the atlas 2.2 and eb01 to get back to stock and start over

If you are using Cm7 you need to install the nexus s drivers. I had the same issue until I installed the correct driver. Because of kernel hacks and such PC thinks its a nexus s.
Before installing drivers. Check on your Phone if USB debugging is checked?
I found when i try a rom and this happens, having USB Debugging turned on the PC recognizes the phone no problem.
I used the fas drivers on CM7 on a windows 7 and XP no problem
Thank you very much for all the replies.
I tried the Nexus S driver, but no go. The debugging is also checked.
The Fas driver used to work with my phone when I switched to CM7 roms. But then, somehow it started not working and detected as "Unknown Device".
Odin does not work and no com port is detected since it is "unknown device"
I think I tried everything I can. SD card works fine, and I don't mind having CM7 roms. Actually, I love CM7 roms. Also, for the file transfer, I can just use other methods wirelessly. But, I just feel nervous not being able to Odin. I hope my phone is not broken.
I am having the same probably as u leeh. Cm7 made my comp not recognize my phone .I also tried nexus drivers

I had the same problem when I updated to IE 9. I just uninstalled IE 9 and my device was recognized.
Picked up another fascinate from craigslist because my previous one had a cracked screen. It updated from 2.1 to 2.2.1 via OTA update.
I cannot get the fascinate to recognize on my desktop pc.
Tried two different cables, nothing.
I've tried various usb ports on multiple computers installed with the samsung drivers that have been able to detect my old fascinate, no luck.
I've tried turning usb debugging mode on and off, no luck.
I've also tried setting the usb setting to "ask on connect" instead of media player or mass storage, again, no luck.
I've tried restoring factory default through the privacy screen and also wiping the cache/wiping data/factory reset from the system recovery screen.
I think it may be an issue with the latest OTA firmware that was installed?
Would it be worthwhile to try rolling back to the 2.1 OTA? Anyone know how to do this? The only way I can think of is to find a 2.1 update.zip and restore it using the phone's recovery mode.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

I think the problem is the driver. You can try this way:
Download Froyo ROM ED05 full stock and Odin. If Odin didn't found your Fascinate:
Connect the USB cable to the computer when Fascinate screen on.
Go to Menu and do factory reset, do not unplug USB cable
After Samsung fascinate booted into Android, your PC will get a message about install drivers for Fascinate, click Ok, and it will automatically reset driver for you

Problem is I cannot get ODIN to recognize the phone. Actually, I don't any kind of notification on the multiple computers I've tried that it even recognizes that there is an attached usb device.
I know it's normally a problem if you're running cm7, but have you tried installing drivers for Nexus S? They have worked for some people.what version of windows are you using?

Try going here and try the generic Samsung drivers, quite a few have had luck getting them to see their phone. Odin what you need then you should be able to use the original driver again.

Ok, please, anyone, help me!
I've rooted my phone, using a zerg method ive seen on galaxys2root.com, at first everything worked brilliantly, customs roms and all, but the phone usb drivers are gone.
no pc or mac ive tried can detect my phone, i cant move any files (unless i do it over wi-fi), i cant select usb debug mode, it say cable is connected even when there is no cable connected, ive tried many methods to connect the phone but none work.
so now i cant use odin to flash anything since my phone is always being detected as an unknown device.
im desperate, i dont know what to do.
so please anyone help me out there ... i guess all i can offer for help is a 10$ steam game to whoever finds a solutiin
im not quite sure whats wrong with your usb but you can try mobile odin to flash.
The are 2 things that I Would try, try this first:
Download the CWM version of "Siyah kernel" (v3 is best)
Here is a link
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/05/10/siyahkernel-v3-2-1/
Flash it in to CWM recovery (if you need instructions on how to flash in to CWM let me know) (to enter cwm recovery do the following:
Turn phone off
Press the home+ volume up+ power button, and do not release your fingers off the buttons till you see the sgs2 boot logo)
If your phone still doesn't work properly after the above, do the following:
Find a CWM flasherble rom (any will do as you are only flashing it so as to be able to use Odin for what ever rom it is you want to install, although you can also find a nice rom that is cwm flasherble, pure ics v7. 3 is very nice!) and download it from your phone
Make titanium backup of all your apps
Go in to CWM recovery and select "install zip from sd card"
Click "yes"
And hopefully when that has finished it should have fixed the issue you are having, and then you can install the rom you were on originally or a rom that you like.
Hope this helped
Cheers

Probable not following instruction like
Question in wrong forum
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

Well, thanks for the reply guys but still not working, its driving me nuts, no pc can pick up my phone, its only being seen as unknown device, ODIN cant see my phone when its in download mode.
i installed that room, ICS resurrection remix, the problem managed to find its away to that also.
EDIT: Sorry about posting in the wrong forum.
Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work:-
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google).
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
*Run Windoze Update.
Try all of these steps if necessary.
And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if the different PC doesn't work first try, go thru all the above steps on the different PC if necessary.
And if you still don't have any joy, probably user error somewhere along the line or a hardware issue.
I'm sure its a user error, cause the phone realizes that usb is connected when i connect. but no other device can recognize the phone (i tried 2 windows pc's and one os x machine).
I'm not an expert but is it possible that the phone information got deleted?

Yes if Kies is not installed no USB drivers .
Also clean USB port on the phone .
Getting a lot of i used that xxx site and rooted or flashed now broke help asked from here without knowing what the original site asked you to do or firmware used .It becomes hard to guess what's wrong .

Did you o a factory reset, and full wipe before you installed the rom?

Ok, Kies is installed with drivers, everything was working fine, then i used a Zerg method i found on galaxys2root.com to root the phone, after that it all went to hell.
Well, for the heck of it, i install MIUI, and usb mount is still not working, this is driving me nuts!
Did you make sure you did a full wipe of the phone before you installed the rom?.
And have you tried flashing siyah v3.2?
Flash the kernel and tell me how you get on.

i made a full swipe, well ill flash siyah with miui now, just a sec mate, and really, thanks for replying everyone.
fishingfon, i installed Siyah, rebooted the phone, the pc picked it up and opened the autoplay, then it declared it as unkown device and back to square one.
everytime i reboot the phone, the pc sees it for a few secs now then unknown device... i THINK that we're on to something o.o
Have you tried using another usb cable? As if it is broken that would explain the problems you are having. Abd have you tried it of a different pc?
And if you have an external sd card in the phone, try removing it And then rebooting.

Same thing, could be an appilcation conflict on the phone ? when i reboot the window show and then goes, maybe the phone is a loading an app which screws up with the USB?
Have you tried the above?.
Have you tried enabling usb mass storage?.
I dint think it would be an app, as they are apps that people use all the time.
Did you make sure you used the currect root method for your model?
Did you make sure your phone was either a I9100 or and I9100T model before before tou rooted. If it was the wring model rhat might explain your problems, what model is your phone?
If none of the above works the only thing I can think of is that the phones hardware is broken.

If you remove the backplate off the phone, and remove the battery, rhe should be a label with the model on it

You could try downloading Mobile Odin Pro from Google Play. Then go to Samfirmware.com and download your original firmware that came with the phone,( NOT A CUSTOM ROM). Put the firmware on the root directory of your sd card. Run Mobile Odin and install the firmware.

I am owner of the Galaxy S2. I updated yesterday to SuperNexus Jelly Bean ROM, didn't liked it. I restored my device to CM9 which i was using for a month without any problems. Then it started, computer couldn't recognize the phone anymore. Its like that SuperNexus broke something i don't know. I reformatted my Win 7 Ultimate x64 and installed fresh new CM10 - but after all my computer and S2 don't like each other - USB device not recognized. Chaos. I asked my friend to come over just to test with his S2 (he's on stock ICS 4.0.3 or 4.0.4), and when i plug his phone into my computer, everything works flawlessly. I tried mounting in recovery, i tried with and without usb debugging, Odin doesn't find phone neither, tried updating drivers - no luck... Dialing *#7284" just gives me "connection problem or invalid MMI code". Need help on this please!
You can check THIS thread. The one HERE , and also THIS thread.
I've read them all, tried every advice, but phone still isn't reacting to anything. So my problem is that phone couldn't connect to a computer, well it connects but it states "USB device not recognized", it charges but that's all. Everything started with Custom ROM SuperNexus. I've done these steps so far:
1. Reformatted my computer OS, which is Windows 7 Ultimate x64
2. Downloaded CM10 over my phone, get into recovery --> factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format system, install ROM, wipe cache, wipe factory
3. I tried on my computer, tried on my old computer with Win XP x86
4. My friend's Galaxy S2 is working like a charm with MY cable on MY computer, which makes me believe that there is some defectiveness in my phone
5. I tried cleaning MicroUSB port with tooth pick, ear-cleaning pick (or how do you call it), needle with some paper wrapped around it, tried blowing in it
6. I tried with different USB ports, front ones, USB 3.0 - still no luck
7. I tried flashing Wanamlite and Neat ROM-s, still the same problem
I'm using Airdroid now, but i really need to know what's the problem! I have already ordered a new parts on E-Bay and I'm having high hopes about that solution. Im not able to post link to E-bay item, but search it under Item Number: 150904945773. Any other advice is really highly appreciable. Thank you
Try downloading the Rom over WiFi, or Hardline instead. Have you tried a different USB Cable ? Also I'm not able to check that Ebay # right now.

eBay item is this: New Samsung i9100 Galaxy SII S2 Charger Charge Port Flex Cable Replacement parts
OP, I'm hoping it works for you. You seem to be going in the right direction with your troubleshooting.
Well, i've downloaded this ROM (CM10) via WiFi, now i can do it over Airdroid too. But is there a way to flash Stock Original Samsung ICS in recovery? Or is it only available in Kies and Odin? I came across "Mobile Odin", do you guys have some experience with it, is it safe to use? How big are chances anyway that USB will work with stock ROM? Someone told me "your USB port on phone is OK, if it's charging it's not broken", so I'm thinking that it is not a hardware issue after all? And BTW i used several cables, and three different computers. My girlfriend have SGS3, i tried it like 2 hours ago with her cable on her computer with no luck (and of course her phone have no problems to connect to that computer using that cable). Thank you
I would try a Stock Rooted Rom, and see if that works correctly. If not try connecting the Device, and reboot the PC with the Device plugged in.
How to install stock ROM if i cannot get Kies or Odin to recognize phone? Via Mobile Odin?

Try USB solutions from My Android Solutions or Mobile Odin like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28302093&postcount=4789 ( procedure is same but written for Korean SGS 1
Guys let me tell you that I'm grateful to you, cause this Mobile Odin worked and my Stock Rooted ROM worked in connecting with PC. But not on first try when i got into a newly flashed Stock Rooted Firmware, i've let it to do his stuff, update what he needed to update blahblah. Then i tried to connect my cable - it didn't work. I cursed, i cursed so bad. Then i considered to give it another shot, rebooted the phone - and voila! Everything works, i tried 2-3 times and its working. Obviously SuperNexus started my problems, they couldn't be repaired by any other ROM i tried (i tried CM9, CM10, Wanamlite, old Wanamlite with MTP enabler, Neat ROM)... Then with Mobile Odin everything just worked. Dunno what really was the problem. Thank you all
Glad you got it sorted

Hello all, I have a GS3 international GT-I9300
I'll try to go through the story as fast as I can and give as much detail so you guys can understand how I got here.
Bought the phone unlocked, I was stock, I rooted and then I decided to install a new ROM. I went with Resurrection Remix, it was working great. I did this on a desktop back home. They released a new update to RR so I did a OTA update with "Update Me" apparently the thing flashed but it didn't, the phone still worked but NFC wasn't working as well as having lost root access and some other stuff wasn't working correctly, but I lived with it.
I moved to Florida (home is in NY) and I have a laptop with me, for some reason my laptop used to be able to transfer files to my S3, but it wasn't doing it any more after a while. So it would just charge it. I was in a hotel room last week trying to tether via USB but the PC wasnt having it, it could not locate the phone. This week I moved to a different hotel with internet and decided I would flash stock on my S3 to get rid of all these bugs and get root again, I tried flashing stock through recovery and it wasn't going, so I tried flashing RR again (this time downloaded from the site RR site) and it worked. Still no USB connection but I had root back. I looked around my PC and apparently the Samsung drives are not installing or something on my PC. I installed Kies, but nothing, I tried a stand alone driver install and nothing, so I just gave up and bought Mobile Odin pro from Gplay to try to flash again.
Mobile Odin for some reason (I blame it on myself) wasn't finding/flashing stock so again I decided to try and flash RR and see what would happen. It flashed RR and turned on fine. Then I just decided to look for an NFC fix on XDA. Once I found my NFC fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32029713&postcount=8367) I decided to just copy the files to the system folder, NFC still not working, rebooted and NFC still no working, so I figured I would try to flash the fix through mobile odin seeing as how I can't get my PC to pick up on the USB. I tried flashing but MO just kept bouncing it back and re-booting into RR. Tried again and no flash. So I decided to again try and flash stock. I tried going into Recovery, the phone shut off like it always does, came back on but stayed in the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 logo and would not move. I shut it off again, tried turning it on again and still stuck on the galaxy logo. Now, if I leave the phone off and plug in the USB, it won't show the battery charging image, it will actually turn straight onto the galaxy logo again and stay there. I can get the phone into download mode, but like I said my pc won't recognize the drivers.
Now, here are my questions:
What happened?
Can this be fixed?
Am I an idiot?
If I can get the drivers installed on another PC as well as Odin (1.85), will the new PC "see" the S3 or are the drivers on the phone deleted as well? (if that sort of thing can happen, idk.)
I'm going to see if I can borrow a buddy's PC and download the drivers as well as odin to try and bring my S3 back to life, I just want to know, what happens if I can't get the other PC to pick it up ether because the drivers on the phone are deleted (if that's a thing) or what I can expect if it is connected.
What are the steps or guides to follow here? I just got it into Download mode and it says on the top of the screen:
ODIN MODE
Product name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
sorry , i am sometime getting headache reading long english text so i just briefly look over.
your PC doesn't recognize your S3 ? is that correct ? hmmm , is it possible that your PC (Microsoft Windows I assume?) system is damaged due to something like virus or some reasons ? i have encountered that kinda problem before and be OK after i reinstalled the system.
If it's a soft brick, then it can defiantly be fixed. You might, however, lose your data along the process.
Be glad it's not hard bricked
It happened to me many times, USB error "unknown device" connected. Only fix for it was reinstalling Windows so better if you can use different PC or laptop. Install Kies and other USB drivers. Restart computer, download and run Odin v 3.0x. Flash your phone.
If this doesn't work then maybe your phone have a problem with USB port?
