Ok so im trying to connect the phone USB but it gives me only options like im connecting a camera photo and scan in windows lol? how do u access the phone so that you can transfer files i dont understand, never had a problem connecting a phone this way before.
I had this problem too.
I'm using XP and I had to install a driver for windows called MTP I think it was.
Once I restarted it worked. Make sure it is in MTP mode when plugged in via USB.
Probably worth trying
EDIT: Just realised I think what actually fixed it was installing the Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones (I installed 1.4.8.0 which I think was the latest)
Google it and download should do the trick
Thanks that did the trick installing USB drivers, i found them from here if anyone else has the same problem.

IM USING WINDOWS 7.
can that be any related?
the system updated last night and since then it happened
TNX for the help..!
BTW, i tried RESET the comp, the HD, and nothing changed.
USB Device Not Recognized
was this working before? you say you are using windows 7
is that a new install and now you cant connect to your phone?
you can removing the updated drivers that was installed, this could put things right for you.
try removing activesync and do a fresh install of activesync and if that does not help remove usb drivers and re-install them with out connecting your hd.
almost every time i have had my pdas or phone not being able to connect to activesync it has been software or drive related.
hope this help and you get is sorted
So I was hoping some of you guys could help me out.
Recently my Vibrant started to give me trouble with my computer. But it's only my vibrant with my computer. I can connect to any other computer no problem. Any other device is easily recognized by my computer except the vibrant.
It started after using PDANET's tethering app. I was at one point tethering all the time putting my phone in usb debugging mode and running pdanet on my computer. Then I also started using the bluetooth tethering. Once I finally got internet at my new place i stopped using the tethering option. But then I realized when i tried to get files off my phone my computer wouldnt recognized my phone anymore.
The error I get is
USB Device Not Recognized.
One of the usb devices on this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognized it.
Usb Root Hub Unknown device.
Try Reconnecting the device if windows still does not recognized it replace the device.
In the device manager the properties of the "unknown device" says
Status: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I've tried the solution posted under here
USB Fix - Win7 x64 - USB Device not Recognized
and I've used both drivers from Samsung Kies and here
[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S
(Sorry can't post links apparently)
When I try to update the driver manually for the unknown device it says that it has already selected the best driver for the device. So i don't know if it really updated it.
Any Suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks!

I have the same problem on my PC. I would plug in the phone and my mouse would stop working. No tethering app installed or anything.
Anyway, I just tried the ports on the back of the PC and those worked. Try a port closer to the MB
I've tried all my ports. It's still not recognized.
Check the cable and power source. Be sure cable is with good quality. I hade the same issue. I fixed it with original HTC cable and back panel USB from my deskop computer. Front USB of desktop computers often are not enough to power that consumption.
After updating to Froyo it started working again. Thanks though. I still have no clue what caused it.
Bumping to confirm, I found this thread after getting the same error. I had tried several of the USB ports on my computer but after reading this tried the 2 I hadn't yet, they both worked. Not sure why only those work now, but they do work.
Hope this helps someone.
I have a bricked galaxy s which doesn't do anything. Windows 7 reconizes an unknown device and it's not possible to install the samsung driver. Windows says that it allready has the right driver.
I can't seems to reincarnate my galaxy s. Only this small sign of live in windows 7.
It happened when I was flashing 2.3.5 and the connection went down just seconds after the start of flashing so I guess the bootloaders are corrupt.
Anyone any idea how to solve this one?
Vibrant UnBrickable Mod
The same thing is happening to my Vibrant. Tried Rooting and installing various ROMs and it is still "Not Recognized". Tried all ports on all PCs (4) and Laptops (1) and non of them work. espy1988, how did you upgrade to Froyo 2.2 if you could not connect to PC and Kies? This used to work without an issue.
Thanks

have u tried Odin back to stock using Odin or hemidal ?
I have the same problem now. I have had my Vibrant for over a year never with an issue. I have Odined it back to JFD dozens of times but now it will not recognize the usb device.
I have GB bootloaders, but never a problem before. When changing Roms I usually Odin back to JFD first and start clean.
My problem started with the phone getting stuck in landscape mode. I was running a 2.3.4 GB rom Sensation. I reflashed a few times but whenever a restored anything from Titanium it would revert back to landscape only. I decided to go back to a 2.2 rom and plugged in the phone to Odin and it was not recognized, also not as a mass storage device, no go. I used Samba to copy a 2.2 rom, Trigger, to the phone and flashed from there. The phone is good now except the computer still won't recognize it. I can use Samba to access the SDCard but I hate not being able to use Odin if things go south. Tried all usb ports and a new cable, no go. Really wierd.
Looking for suggestions......
If you're still under warranty claim it & send it.
Had same problem. There is no fix short of replacing USB port.
I found my problem. It was dirty/corroded usb port. I carefully cleaned it out (took a few times) and it's all functioning again. I also cleaned the contacts on my original usb cord and it is working again also.
I'm just now having this problem for the first time. I've tried all USB ports and cleaning the port on the phone with no luck so far. Can someone point me to the unbrickable mod mentioned early in this thread?

Have you tried installing the installing/re-installing the Samsung drivers (LINK), using another USB cable, or even another computer? I just want to make sure you've tried it all before attempting to do a hardware mod.
Anyhow, you can find a link to the unbrickable mod and other hardware mods in the "Official XDA Vibrant Bible Thread", under the "MODS/SCRIPTS" section (LINK).
Mine is the cable btw. My wife has a GSII and I was able to use her cable.
Hey Everyone,
I am having trouble making my computer recognize the phone. Either in mass storage or in usb debug mode, when I plug the cable in, the phone will Vibrate but Windows does not recognize it.
I tried installing Kies and install the USB drivers but it does not change anything. Did anyone have any problems and if so, how did you fix it?
thank you
Running Win 7 64 Ultimate and have had no problem. Just downloaded the correct version of Kies from samsungs site and let it do its thing. Possible issue withe either usb cable or usb port, have you tried different ones?
Not sure if it helps but I also had issues with drivers on win64. Ended up downloading the Galaxy S ones for win64 from Softpedia and then everything worked fine after that.

Please take the time to read this:I flashed and installed SkyRaider a couple days ago and I noticed when I connected to my PC that my PC started recognizing it as HTC Phone (or something of the like). This apparently really screwed up my drivers on my computer because I installed iKReaM and now I can't even get into disk drive mode...it doesn't ask what connection type I want anymore and my computer just says "USB Device Not Recognized". I tried uninstalling the HTC Driver Installer but that didn't do anything either. This is not good as I ran into the same problem when trying to root my friends Samsung Fascinate and never go the problem fixed. Anyways...my phone worked perfect before and SkyRaider evidently messed it up pretty good...to say I am pissed is an understatement. If you need any more info please let me know.
Please link me to the newest HTC Drivers as well, it would be much appreciated.
If no one can help I will have to do a clean install of windows 7, which is not an enjoyable experience

You will have to buy the pro version to push files. That would be your easy solution.
You can always use recovery to get into usb mode as well.

I can't get into recovery anymore using usb mode, computer doesn't recognize the device so no way to use it...and I would use the Wifi app instead of using a usb cable? I see what you mean by easy but I don't wanna avoid the problem...I have a brand new $1600 Alienware so I would like to have it fixed lol...if need be I may just have to do a clean install
I know this isn't your actual problem but just for the record, AirDroid lets you control your phone and push files to it with a web browser and wifi for free.
(I tried linking it but I guess I haven't made enough posts to include links yet, easy to find by searching the Market tho)
You might check under Settings/ Connect to PC to make sure the Ask Me option is turned on.

When you plug your phone into your computer does the phone start to charge?
If so restart the computer and plug the phone into a different usb port. Check device manager and see if you have it listed in your usb devices, or you have an ! over a usb. Most of the time this ends up being an issue with the computer it is being hooked to, not the phone. The computer isn't launching the driver correctly to show the phone that it is connected to a computer, and not just a wall outlet.
Even when I've had this issue, which is random I have still been able to use recovery usb to manage it. Make sure when your in recovery you mount the sdcard before enabling the usb.
Hi guys!
I have a rooted international Galaxy S3 (i9300) phone with a custom rom: UltimaRom (version 8.x), and using XXELLA kernel (?) and XXELLA Modem version.
Since a while, I'm trying to manage the files in it (phone memory or sd card) from my computer, simply by using an USB cable (the one given with the phone or even other cables, it doesn't matter) and the standard MTP protocol, which is used by Google since Android 3.0. And, whatever I try to do, Windows doesn't seem to notice anything. In my device manager, nothing appears. Nothing either in the "My Computer" window, it just doesn't "exist". No reaction at all from Windows. The Phone's charging, but this is all it is.
And I have the same problem using another computer (like my own laptop, or my brother's one). All computers are running Windows 8 x64 Pro.
I tried to install, re install, delete, etc. all the phone drivers I have on this computer, tried to install Samsung Kies, tried some "mounting" apps on the Play Store, nothing's working.
What should I do to make it work?
Thanks a lot!
Might be stating the obvious but is your phone set at usb debugging? I have the same issue from time to time but when I unplug and plug back it fixes itself.
Hope you get your stuff fixed soon.

Yes, USB Debugging is enabled.

That's odd.. I use Ultima ROM and have updated to 8.1.1. I just checked just to make sure (my last update was done OTA) and yeah, computer recognized phone right away.. heard a little computer sound and everything. I am also running Windows 8
The base changed in v8. If you haven't done a fac reset since then you should try that.
Ok I just tried to make a factory reset, nothing changes...
Oh, and if that can help: when the phone's booting, Windows says "Unrecognized device". When it's booted up, it disapears.
Anyone ?
Drivers...
I used these drivers.
It worked for me...

Does Easy UMS work?
Can you connect via adb?
Does Odin recognize the phone?
If no to all of the above, try a different cable / port

Thank you for your response !
- Easy UMS doesn't seem to work, even if the app doesn't show any error on the phone
- How do I connect via ADB ? I tried to connect the phone while it is in Download Mode, nothing appears on Windows or Odin
- As I said, in Download Mode, Odin doesn't seems to recognize anything...
And of course, I already tried to change the cable, the USB port, or even the computer i'm connecting the phone to...
Thanks again for your help
Starting to sound like a damaged micro USB port on the phone possibly, or a driver's problem
Oh, and there's a thing: when I reboot the phone, while the Samsung logo appears on the screen with the short jingle, the PC makes 3 or 4 times a sound like something has been plugged, and showes a "Unrecognized device" warning window. When the boot is finished, and the rom is loaded, everything just disappears and no sound is any longer made by the PC.
Also, please note that when I connect the phone to the PC (using the same PC, cable and USB port of course), the phone charges up just like before, without any problem.
have you tried the old drivers?
search Google for " Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 "
disconnect your computer from the internet
Install the drivers.
don't reconnect to the internet.
connect your phone and let windows find the drivers
