HElp please
I accidentally pull out the cable without disconnecting the connection between my phonen the computer.
Now i'm Unable to connect.
im using SGS II.
go to settings, then app development, go to usb debugging, deactivate it then reactivate it without the your phone connected to the pc
then connect your phone to pc again
I think that should do it
fingers crossed
You sir, are a genius. Many thanks!
wOWWWWW
Many tks mannn,,,,
One easy and faster solution....
I never mind that...
tks a lot!!!
try to connect with usb utilities
Hi.
Sorry to revive an old thread.
I have the same problem and his solution not work to me.
In software controller I see there are problems with MTP Device. I tried to reinstall Samsung Kies but not work.
Any solution?
Edit---
I tried in other pc (w7 always) installing Samsung Kies for first time and same problem. Maybe the mobile phone or Usb is corrupted/broken?
Im using CyanogenMod at the moment.
If your using cm9 mtp does not work at the moment

You don't need MTP to copy files. Use ADB.
Can you link me some info or where can I get it? Sorry if it is a typical question but I have no idea.
Thanks.

Please refer to forum rule #1.
You can easily feed the terms "adb" "file" "copy" into google if you have issues with the search function of this site.
There are also multiple guides and FAQs linked in the sticky (first post) of the I9100 general section.
Sorry.
After I posted that, I started to use "search tool" and now I have my SGS2 with CheckRom It was really easy.
So, Thank You guys for the fast help. I was thinking my SGS2 was broken or something.

This is actually a pretty tough phone to break, flashing-wise. You have to be pretty dense (or REALLY not be paying attention) and try flashing a something that is intended for a different model of phone to break it. Though, that seems to be a fairly common scenario, unfortunately.

thanks a lot..............:d
I have a galaxy S2 which I've updated via XDA to 2.3.6, everything was working fine until a few days ago, I plugged the phone into my PC and I was given "One of the USB Devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned et etc" and then "Device Drive not installed correctly" something along those lines.
I've tried it on other machines and the same thing happens, I can't access the storage nor detect it in odin or keis.
Any suggestions or help would be hugely appreciated.
Bump for bumpsake
Try the first part of this thread (The bit about uninstalling/reinstaling Kies/drivers).
Can you let me know what happens? I had exactly the same issue but its in warranty repair, I would like to try to fix it when it comes back, Im assuming it wont be fixed under warranty
No Nandroid backup ???
jje
No backup, I backup files and wipe generally, but the phone can't sync with the PC so I can't reinstall a different stock firmware.
I'd pay good money if someone could fix this or had an idea how to fix it?
First step would be back up data and factory reset .
jje
See my thread here.
If the modem/pda fix doesn't work, try another USB cable - you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know I was...
Excellent advice. And also along this line of thinking, another PC/OS might be worth a shot as well if nothing else works.

You did
Tried the dialpad PDA/Modem hack? From my googling last week, it doesn't seem to have worked for the majority.
Ive now tried a new cable, Ive tried restarting the phone when its plugged into the pc but when its powered off and charging it will not turn on no matter what I do.
I have tried uninstalling kies and restarting then letting windows install a driver but it installs the old driver I believe.
This all started with 2.3.6 and as far as I can tell, I must have installed the wrong version for my region or something and its affected the way it shows up.
i had exactly the same problem from an hour to another i was really pissed off,
i had a nandroid backup but that doesnt helped much.
the thing is i reinstalled my computer clean install without any software only kies, cleaned the usb port of the cellphone and by doing that i got my cellphone recognized at odin sometimes, when i got recognized i pray it doesnt disconnect and flash full XXKI3 with pit file and problem solved, don't know why this happened but i was going crazy haha
a tip that helped me with odin. get to device manager with the phone plugged in and disable unknown device ( the one that cellphone is) then if you reconnect your cellphone twice for me it's work on odin!
the main problem for me was the unknown device you had and that it reconnect constanly, also you have to know the solution for me was xxkp8 with pit that solved my problem then went to xxki3 and is was solve already but i think xxki3 willl be the same for you, i whink the clean install with pit is the solution, maybe someone can correct me, this worked for me (i thought it was the usb port and my guarantee is under USA and i'm from argentina so i was getting crazy, i tried all and this helped (also with this problem couldnt go back to stock firmware :S)
good luck i hope this help you
PS: i tried all sollutions they said to you here and nor one helped! and searched the hole forum and nothing helped me!
PS2: i thing it can be related to something broked on the cellphone software, cause my region last firmware was 2.3.4 i was using simple and clean rom 2.3.6 not for my region without a problem and suddenly this happened now i'm again on S&C cause it fits for my usage and no problem at all!, something messed up the cellphone maybe a buggy flash of siyah kernel by the time it happened to me i was testing siyah 2.6.3 i think and it was really buggy for some people
Hey fdbailes,
That pretty much sounds like what is going on with me, I've tried what you suggested but sometimes when I plug it in, it doesn't even detect a device, the PC makes the noise but nothing happens.
It's really very disapointing, I am a carer for a disabled person so I have no money to buy a new phone and I really really want ICS on my galaxy.
Thanks for the help, Ill keep trying, what version of Odin were you using?
Did you use the stock Samsung Cable?
I cant think of anything else except
Does anyone know if its possible to install a new kernel from the SD somehow?

Mobile Odin, if you're rooted.
I am not, I'm on 2.3.6, please tell me theres a quick and dirty mobile root? lol
I'd settle for hugely complicated and filthy....
Edit: Would is it possible/would it be possible, to update firmware or root over wifi or bluetooth?
I was thinking that you could install the cwm manager apk, but I'm not sure if you have to be rooted to install it... Brain not working well today, anyone else can confirm/deny?
You can but try anyway. Download Superuser and Nitrality from the market, use Nitrality to install the apk, see what happens.
View attachment CWMManager.apk
Blast, CWM wont run unless I have root access.
Also, Nitrality keeps crashing at launch
Did you ever find a solution for this?? I just got a new tmobile sg2 but my laptop is doing the same thing?? I really wanna root it already
Hi Everyone, Really need help here
I (drunkenly) messed around with CWM on my phone and formatted a few partitions that I shouldn't have. Result - brick!
Had a JTAG done and it was revived and placed back onto Stock 2.3.3
Got my phone home and went to flash Litening ROM 6.1 onto it to regain root access... ODIN got about 2/3 through and failed.
Now I've got a phone that my computer's won't recognise. Windows is saying that the USB device has malfunctioned. Is there any way I can fix this without having to shell out for another JTAG repair?
When I turn on the phone I get that A....!....A looking symbol on my screen. Recovery mode does the same thing.
I can get to Download mode, but again my PC can't recognise it.
Any ideas?
try reinstalling the drivers.. That may work..

Yes, you can uninstall kies and install it again. It worked for some users.. Make sure kies is off when flashing a new firmware..

Odin the God of rom flashing is telling you flash stock and stop playing with your phone as next time you will get Thor .
jje
Odin the god of flashing is being a pain in my ass!
All I want is for my GS2 to be rooted and working - I still don't get how it's failed
Kies is still uninstalling...
do you have a usb jig? that normally forces it into download mode.. dirt cheap from ebay......... have a search

I can get to Download mode. Or am I missing something?
As far as I'm aware, the JIG will reset my binary counter and take me to DL mode - isn't that what Vol Down + Power + Home does?
with a JIG would my phone be more likely recognised by my PC's?
Thanks for all the reply's too by the way guys!
Okay, so I removed and reinstalled Kies - No luck
Download Mode is still showing Current Binary as Samsung Official though, so at least I can have it warranty repaired if need be.
I'm just finding it really hard to believe that it's bricked again, I've flashed heaps of ROM's to this phone without any issues. I just don't see how I could have two problems so close together.
Any other ideas?
You may find an answer within this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382838
I had an i9000 jtaged a while back and what i noticed was that when it came back from the shop it didnt have recovery mode at all.What I had to do was flash a couple of stock ROMs to get stock recovery back so I could Root it again.It took several atempts and fails too.Not having any type of recovery at the time of a flash might be what has caused the problem.Quite possible that if thats the case you will need another jtag
One thing you could try thats worked for me in the past is boot to download,plug in your phone and open Odin last.Sometimes its works.

Thanks, gave that a go and it didn't work. Tried it about 5-6 times
Is there a specific driver that can be used to allow Odin to see my phone? I've tried all that Kies has to offer and it's still coming up as unrecognisable - Windows is seeing a USB Mass Storage controller and a Bluetooth Peripheral Device, but it's unable to locate or install any drivers since the failed Flash.
I also tried the other linked thread. This didn't work either
I only spent $180 on a JTAG repair yesterday - Should've just bought my own RIFF box so that I could do it myself.

If you have access to a window xp computer give it a try, I had this issue with my captivate and my windows 7 machine wouldn't work but my old xp computer did.
An obvious and well known issue... Did you end process tree of both Kies processes in your PC's task manager?
Sorry if you have, it is all I can think of at the moment.
Sounds like it's time for you to give up flashing ROM's. Clearly someone up there doesn't like it. If your computer doesn't recognise it at all then its a faulty USB cable. So maybe that get that replaced before you demand Samsung fix your mistakes again.

Hi,
I'm using more than one cable. They seemed to both work fine too until the failed flash.
I didn't get Samsung to fix it, I took it to a mobile repair shop, I didn't demand anyone do anything either - I paid royally to have it fixed and would prefer to fix it myself than be charged again.
@jhernand1102 - I'll give this a shot now, fingers crossed!
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
Phone:
Tmobile T959 aka Samsung Vibrant
It is on stock Froyo 2.2
It has the 3E recovery.
I tried on 2 computers but I can NOT connect via USB it gives me USB malfunction error. The phone does charge. I can put it into download mode vie the 3 finger trick. When you connect it does give you the option to click the green Android icon Connect to USB. So it is talking to the computer, the usb is not totally dead.
Problem:
I need to root this phone. I can not use 1 click or anything else because I think there is a problem with the USB port. I can get files onto the phone via wifi or using the external sd card.
I tried using the update.zip file BUT because I am on the 3E recovery it will say signature failed. I can not run the install.bat to get it back to 2E recovery. I can not use ODIN because the Windows will not detect the phone properly.
What workaround can I use to root this phone? How would I use terminal on the phone?
HOW WOULD YOU ROOT THE PHONE IF YOUR USB PORT WAS "broken"?
THANKS for helping!
As far as I'm aware, you can't root your phone without the USB port working as most (if not all) root methods send their commands and files through ADB. Your pretty much stuck, unless your phone is under warranty. In that case, just go to your carrier and see if they'll give you a replacement device.

It's out of warranty
I think there may be a way to do it via terminal emulator on the phone.
If this is possible, can someone please post how to do it.
anyone with a work around?
damn!
Am I stuck or does anyone have a way for me to root this phone without the using the USB connection (USB does charge, It will know when you connect to the pc for USB storage BUT windows will say not recognized. I tried it on 4 other pc's same results. I think something is wrong with the OS of the phone. I think the previous owner tried to update with Kies and it messed up the phone. The phone does boot and works.

I did all of that.
I think something is wrong with the phone's OS that is effecting the usb port.
How do I root this phone WITHOUT the USB port?
There has to be a way!
Can you determinate VID&PID of phone?
I can get into the device with airdroid and see the system files.
Which files do I need (or which apps) and where do I copy them manually to get it rooted?

Is there not a device forum where you might could get some better information? My thinking is, a lot of the people (or most of the people) who may know some workarounds can probably help, but they don't check this section very often or at all.
Even if there's not a section for that model, I'm thinking there's probably one quite similar. Also a lot of times, a big portion of the userbase of one phone, will migrate to the same model when they upgrade.
Just throwing out some ideas in case that's helpful. My only advice on the problem itself is that I would look further into the driver issue. I've helped several people with very similar issues that we finally were able to correct.
Have you tried to ADB the device just to pull the serial? With USB debugging enabled. Have you installed the SDK and tried the naked drivers? There's some things to pursue possibly so you can have more information for the person who helps you get things straightened out.
Hey first of all I'm sorry if this is already somewhere on XDA but I really need help.
I have a Galaxy S2 model number SGH-i757m, and I'm trying to root it but I cant get my computer to recognize it.
When it is plugged in it shows that it's charging but it doesn't connect.
I'm using a Mac (if it makes a difference). I've heard that heimdall can screw up your USB ports is it possible that that has happened to me?
I did try it on a different computer and still no luck. I was also wondering if it could possibly be the cord. (I'm using a stock samsung USB cord)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Yes, using a Mac makes a difference. Not from my personal experience, because I've never used one, but from the experience of people on here. People on Macs who post here invariably seem to have problems. I doubt Heimdall can 'screw up your USB ports' tho. That doesn't sound grounded in logic even remotely.
If you're having problems at this early stage & want to make life easy for yourself, get access to a PC. Once you root your phone you won't need either the Mac or a PC (because you'll be able to use CWM) unless you end up with a situation where you need to use Heimdall/Odin to recover.
Edit - There are a bunch of troubleshooting steps which people on here try if Odin doesn't work, I'm sure many of them apply to Heimdall not working as well; search for recent threads where Odin isn't working for people & try those steps (I believe Hopper8 is the most recent person to post these steps in their entirety about a week ago, so searching his posts should help you narrow it down).
