So a little history, I flashed my vibrant from Bionix v1.3.1 (fishmanmod) to ICS and started to have a lot of troubles with random restarts and battery issues. Prior to ICS everything was perfect. I've tried so many different versions of ICS and all of them have resulted in random shut downs. The most recent one I tried was Slim ICS. After having such bad luck with ICS roms I decided to go back to Bionix. However my phone now cannot be recognized by my computer which was weird because it did when I flashed it back to stock to install ICS cleanly. I tried various different drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled kies, almost everything I thought of. So then I was like okay, I'll just go back to a nandroid backup of Bionix. Stupid idea, should have read up more on that as it softbricked my phone. Now I'm stuck with a phone that stays on the Vibrant screen. I can get it into download mode with holding vol+ and power but that is no use because windows keeps saying it cannot recognize my device. I can't get it to recovery mode either to flash any roms I have on the phone. It might be a hardware issue because my mothers vibrant gets detected with the same drivers but just a couple of days ago I flashed my phone back to stock with odin which really confuses me. Does anyone have any ideas I could do? Is there a way to get into recovery mode to flash different roms? Is there a manual way of installing the drivers or surefire way of knowing if the vibrant has hardware issues?
Also when I flashed back to stock with odin it did take a good hour of installing and reinstalling drivers for my computer to recognize it in download mode. I've tried 3 different cables, one by samsung and the other two are third party. All these cables work on my mother's vibrant. I've also tried a different computer as well, no luck.
Try deleting ALL USB drivers from your PC and plug in the phone. It should automatically search and download drivers. If that doesn't work then its most likely something to do with the USB cable. I recently soft bricked my vibrant too and my USB would not work at all but it worked fine on a friends phone(weird). So I bought a new one from T-Mobile themselves and it worked! I was really close to believing I had a bad USB port on my phone,if a new cable doesn't work that could be the issue for you. There are a few places online that will replace your USB port on the phone for around 40 bucks, a new USB cable from T-Mobile will cost around $15.
PS: You can search ADB reboot recovery but this will not work unless you can connect to the PC. I personally would buy a new cable from T-Mobile just to know if its a bad USB port on your phone.

Yeah I've read in another post about how someone bought a replacement cable from T-Mobile which fixed the problem. I find it weird how the stock samsung cable does not work yet the T-Mobile cable did. What makes the 15 dollar T-Mobile cable better? I'll definitely give it a shot though.

I'm not sure what makes it better to be honest, it's just one of those things where their cables work better. It is most definitely more durable than the stock cable that came with my phone. If you have a problem with Tmobile's USB cable not working then you most likely have a bad port on your phone(happens more than you might think). I feel like a new cable will solve your problem tho, let us know if it works!

So I bought the T-Mobile universal data cable in store for 12.99 and turns out it did not work. That's okay, they told me I could return in within 30 days to get a full refund. Now my only hope is to send it to someone who could repair it.
The phone can go into download mode, so hopefully once this usb port gets fixed I can finally get into odin. Thanks iTz KeeFy for the suggestion to try a different cable.

U need samsung drivers
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Depending on what your friend was running, yes, you need to install the drivers so that when you connect your pc recognizes it. It's not bricked, no worries... keep calm.
I made a post with the drivers, but you would likely find it faster with a quick google search.

What I've found is that 9/10 its the USB cable when the computer doesn't recognize the device. I'd check it first. Now a better question is what did you do to your friends phone to brick it with out it being plugged to the computer in the first place?

in addition to what you said, sometimes, pluggin it in a different usb works too.
Agreed!
The damn cables suck! Almost 1/2 need to be replaced eventually, and it makes you question the integrity of the device itself. They should make better cables or provide you with 2 when you purchase the phone.
I recently picked up a secondhand Fascinate for my father and have a desire to root it and flash CM for him. Unfortunately, I've run into a roadblock right off the bat: I cannot connect my computer to the phone via USB. The phone only recognizes it as a charger.
The phone is vanilla and is at latest firmware.
The cables I've tried are LG cables from my own phone.
The computer is Win7 64-bit and has Samsung drivers installed.
Help?
EDIT:
Derp. Perhaps the issue is the cable. I've ordered an OEM cable to test this theory. Thoughts?
Cable could be the issue, I know it has been for some that have used after market USB/data cables. Worth trying in order to rule it out.
I would also strongly suggest using Droidstyles guide. Look in General section. Also, on my device, I sometimes have to "jiggle" the connection to the phone. Sounds odd but it works. You will know right away, pull battery and with ODIN open, plug phone in. Should show up in YELLOW.

Ouch, you may be in a jam. I bought a Fascinate on craigslist. I went home, and fired up Heimdall to install CWM [for cm7], and I got "No device found."
It was charging, but that was all. It would do nothing else. I did get it to connect just a few times, after cleaning the USB connector with a small brush [It was a dental brush actually ]. But it clammed up on me again.
I called up Samsung, they said "You need to have the OEM cable. If it's still not working with the OEM cable we will set up a repair." So I went on amazon and bought the cheapest OEM cable I could find [I think it was $2 or $3, it's OEM samsung, but it's shorter than I thought. :-S ]
I was lucky enough to have 1 month left on the warranty. Unfortunately, you might not be so lucky.
After the repair, my USB worked fine. But then, every morning, I would wake my phone up and it would be in a frozen state. [with about 1 frames per second on the Screen-on animation]
I sent it in again, they replaced the main board, and I have not had any problems since.
If you don't have any warranty [there is a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase], I really hope the OEM cable will work for you. If you're out of warranty, the the OEM cable doesn't work, I guess you might try cleaning the port with a brush, maybe you'll get lucky!

I've received the replacement cable and it seems to be working. My question is answered.
As a side question, what modifications you guys recommend for the phone in terms of stability and speed? Experience tells me to go for CM7 and CWM, but this phone's developer forum is quite a mess, with different variations of both.
I'd recommend either makelegs' CM7 kangs (in the dev section), or teamhacksung's ICS (find it at rootzwiki). Droidstyle's guide in the general section will get you up and running regardless of what rom you want to go for.
Thanks, k_niv, I've decided to go with makelegs's build. The ICS rom seems a bit... fresh. Keep in mind, this is actually for my father, who doesn't need to be dealing with bugs. He just wants his phone to work the way Android should: fast and Bingfree.
(I'm quite happy with my LG VS910, Gingervolt'd, but don't get me wrong, the Fascinate is damn nice for a year-old phone)
Thanks for the prompt help, my expectations were exceeded on this forum.
Installed ICS 4.0.3 on my sgh-i717, a few days later it stopped charging and was unable to be recognized on any PC. I connected it to Kies via wifi, put the stock att rom back on it, reflashed though CWM, flashed counter and still nothing, set it back to samsung, got a new phone.
THen yesterday (2 days after i got my new phone) I flashed the new OnlyOne ICS rom 4.0.4 on my phone, then not even 3 hours later, my USB wasnt working again.......charges when it wants, but CANNOT be recognized by and PC....wtf?
Any ideas please!!! ?? THank you!
USB Ports
Just out of curiosity, have you tried a different usb port? Sometimes (and I think it's windows fault) I can use something on a certain port for months, then it will stop working, changing ports fixes it, then when / if that port stops working i'll switch back to the first port I started with... rinse / repeat.
Remember the old Nintendo Carts, when they would get dusty, they wouldnt work until you cleaned them? Could be the same thing, issue with the port, dust, or just going bad.
It could either be a driver issue / and or the actual port. Esp if it's an older usb 1.1 spec port.
I am running OnlyOne, and it's running fine here as far as computer seeing it / charging. I don't think you would get 2 phones that are defective back to back, Check your computer first, especially if it consistently will charge with the AC adapter and not the computer.

If you have access to another phone , try to download seraphim a great from and put it on there and flash it. Inside of the newest seraphim there is a USB storage mount option which should fix your problem. I hope this will fix the problem

Doesn't sound like a ROM issue or one that requires a different ROM to be installed just because it contains a USB selection. To me it sounds like you have a bad cable or a few bad cables. I would try a new micro usb cable. I have had that issue happen a few times with quite a few phones. Cables that just don't click when inserted don't always make the proper contacts. And owning another cable can't hurt, just make sure it is a good brand.

I tried reverting back to a Gingergbread rom, tried re flashing a few different roms, no luck. Tried a few different usb plugs from different phones... how can you mess up a micro USB just from flashing... makes no sense.
Idk about the charging part, but i had the same issue with pc not recognizing my phone after i flashed new ROM on it and could not share files and what not i found a solution for that try this. Make sure phone is unpluggdd from pc. Go to settings>Wireless and network>USB utilities> connect storage to pc then it will tell u to plug your phone, do so. And phone should prompt you with the normal USB storage click it and your good to go.

Missing driver.
IIRC I believe you were supposed to install KIES and another Samsung driver...but I remember using my phone on a netbook without it and it worked...
Try installing the USB driver on the official samsung website? I can't post links yet or I would link it...

There can be multiple possible reasons. You've eliminated some of them. Could be a failing usb port on the phone, bad cable, etc.
If you can't get usb to work, you can flash back to stock using mobile odin. I assume you are rooted. Just download the one-click downloader to your phone over wifi, or use dropbox or something to get it onto your phone. Mobile odin will recognize and flash from the one-click downloader. There is even a guide in the general section on how to do this.

I returned to stock, and I think I figured out the problem as well.
The problem I am quite sure is the USB port on the phone. Like I said, when I keep the USB cable connected at a certain angle, it works just fine.
I will just have to live with it now I think because ODIN displays custom binary installed and the count is 2, so I dont think ATT will let me exchange the phone for a new one.

I had the very same issue as you are describing.
All you need to do is tweak the USB port a little. Did mine about 3 or 4 months ago and have not had to touch it since.
Use a small precision screw driver, fold a couple layers of Kleenex over the tip and gently bend it towards the screen side of the phone.
It WILL work perfect after that.

My I777 has been acting up lately, and now I'm out of options and wondering what my next move should be.
For several days when I'd connect the phone to the PC via USB, it started saying "this device can perform faster when on a USB 2.0 port..." - which, my ports ARE 2.0.. transfers were taking forever. Now, anytime I plug it in it simply says "USB Device not recognized" - I've tried the OEM cable, the plethora of other cables, 4 different PC's... *ALL* have the same result.
My concern is with a custom ROM on it and no way to get any PC to recognize the phone to get it back to root - how should I proceed from here for warranty purposes? I've only had it since March - just wondering what's gonna happen at this point - or is this even fixable? All the threads I've seen say it needs replaced... but with no way to unroot, etc., I'm just unsure how this is gonna go.

Absolutely NOT.
This is a situation that's been coming over a period of time, starting with the inability to see it as a USB 2.0 device when initially plugged in, and now has deteriorated to the point that it can't even be seen.

Yeah, I sure did - nothing. Even in recovery, it won't "mount" usb there either.
Samsung's have a crappy USB port. It fails sometimes. You have a hard time charging at all?
But like I stated above, even without a computer connection you can get Mobile Odin and flash back to stock, as long as your rooted.
I'm having this same issue. I just got the phone earlier this week and I am unable to get bit connected to my pc to root or Odin. I have installed and uninstalled Kies multiple times on two different computers, tries different ports, and checked if the cable worked by using another phone (PC recognized without an issue). I get the USB not recognized or the 2.0 USB message. If I enable debugging, I can connect regularly and transfer files through windows explorer. But if I use USB debugging off, then nothing will work. I've tried using odin and it will just get stuck at setup connection or cache.img and then I'd have to pull the device. I've tries updating through Kies when it shows the USB 2.0 message but once the S2 hits download mode then the computer stops recognizing it. I have also tried installing the i777 drovers on the Samsung website and its still a no go. Does anyone know how to fix this? Its not rooted so mobile Odin won't help me now.

Uninstall drivers, reboot, install updated ones, reboot, Clean USB ports on your phone and computer, clean the cable, Replace usb cable, replace the actual lower dock connector PCB. -> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140663430775&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123
There are about a billion things you can do. I've replaced mine at least twice, I swear that part is designed to fail after a few months. I ordered one for my GF's i777 and it should be here soon, can't wait to fix it! I hate having broken sh_t.

It is the OEM cable that came with my Samsung Infuse. It worked with the T989 3 days ago and it's not working with my i777. Its strange because I tried it with my infuse again and I am able to Odin just fine. Could it really be an issue with my USB or will it be a PCB issue? I would rather or not disassemble my phone if it is a PCB issue. Should be able to do a warranty exchange though.

I hate to break it to you brother but it's damn near impossible to determine what the actual culprit could be, your best best is to try each and every single different thing I've listed. The end result being changing the PCB which one, isn't that hard, and two, is very cheap the only problem is waiting for the board to come in the mail.

I understand, which is why I'm hoping that by posting my story up, someone who has experienced the same problem can help. If not, then I can get others' opinion on it and when the issue is fixed, the solution will be available for future users.

Its the usb board on your phone.
I have the same problem so now I have to get mine changed too.
I've soft bricked my phone 2 times with this problem and it takes hours to get Odin to pick up my phone.
Swap the faulty chip and you should be good.

Its strange because when I enable USB debugging, I can get a "USB connection" on the phone and data transfers fine. But when I turn it off, I get a "MTP connection" and sometimes it'll connect (5% of the time) and allow me to transfer data. But when lies tries to update when that mtp connection is active, it'll hang when the phone goes into download mode. Did you have this same issue?

I f you're able to transfer files via mass storage with USB debugging enabled then you can (most likely) rule out hardware failure on your phone.
If anything this sounds like a driver issue on the cpmputer. Are you running windows? If so remove and reinstall the drivers for your phone.
Still think its hardware.
I can connect 1/100 of the times I'm plugged into a computer. Its not a driver issue because my girlfriend has an i777 as well and no problems for her connecting at all.
Its not ROM related because I have this problem with all ROMs.

Does that apply to ums as well? From his description he can connect in ums just fine. Its only mtp that's giving him problems. In his case, with the problem only being in one connection mode, it leads me to think drivers. In your case, tested against another s2 I'd say hardware.
Just tried using a Motorola cable and a third PC and my chances of connection increased to about 15-20%. Kies and Odin failed on me a few times just like I had described before. But eventually Odin was able to flash okay. Finally on ICS on my i777! I think I'll stay on stock since I'd rather not go USB and PC hunting to flash stock if anything goes wrong.
