So,one day I thought it would be a great idea to root,unlock the bootloader,and install MiniCM7 on my mother's phone.I tried to connect her phone via usb to my PC.Nothin'.I tried to connect it to her laptop.Nothin' again.Tried tricks that I found on the net such as putting it in silent mode or using one of the Sony Ericsson ringtones.NOT CONNECTED AGAIN!Tried to even put out the sim card and then in again.I have tried connecting the phone with 3 PCs in which MY white X10 Mini Pro has been connected and working like a charm thousands of times...Please,I really need to find a solution.Hopefully,the usb didn't stop working while I was on any of these steps,it stopped before I could do anything.
As mentioned before,my U20 works with any of these 3 PCs while hers doesn't work with none!
HELP!
Hey man, does it charge? If not then try the USB cable from your MP and see if it works (my entire phone problem was a dead cable) otherwise it could be the USB port D:

Hi,sorry for the late response but I already have tried it and it only charges 5 seconds after I plug it to the PC.Tried with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit,Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit,Windows XP Professional 32-bit.
I think it's a software's (but unfixable) problem.If it's turned on,it sometimes may not charge.Turn it off and plug the cable in and suddenly it will start charging.Leave it for a night and the battery will be really hot and completely empty.I don't know... btw thx for the reply
Hmm weird. Either the USB or the cable. All my friends with the MP have stock and I've got ICS I reckon your mum can survive haha

Hey, i have a similar problem... I can connect my x10 mp, on office pc fine, but with same cable and no setting changed, my laptop won't recognize the phone (USB port is fine).
Though its not really a hassle, I use Airdroid at home now, so really no reason to connect with cable. But it was connecting fine on stock, only started happening after i flashed MiniCM7. Oh yes, if it matters, i did the flashing process on office PC :S

Well....I can't root it because z4root doesn't work for 2.1.1.A.0.6 and USB won't be connected anyways,thanks for the reply
Try to root with superoneclick... Mine is the same baseband as your moms, and I'm rooted right now
I remember someone poost the superoneclick link somewhere... Maybe you could search it...
And, again, are you sure its not your usb cable / usb phone port that doesn't work well ?
Last question, does this problem comes after you installing CM7, or does this problem come from the beginning (and you're unable to bootloader unlock it as the result) ?

It can only charge using USB!It can't connect to ADB mode (debugging) or USB transfer mode.This problem comes from the beginning.I dunno if it's a usb port (phone) problem.Mine charges + usb but hers only charges.same usb cable,same usb ports.Hers has Android 1.6 and I updated it to 2.1.1.A.0.6 and my phone came with the 2.1.1.A.0.6 already
If you updated it to 2.1 surely it worked at some point though?

Try a new USB cable I used a PSP USB cable for a while when my HTC hero USB cable stopped working properly. Just find some more USB cables and test them all.

You probably damaged the USB controller with ESD. You can try another USB port, but it's likely that all the ports are damaged (at least all the ports on that controller). Check the other ports on the PC. Most modern PCs have at least a couple of USB hubs built in. It is possible that a port on another hub or controller may work. Otherwise, you might be able to use a USB add in card in the computer if all the built-in ports are dead. They are relatively cheap if you have the slot in the machine to install one.

mount to PC is a known issue methinks. What is your current setup? Rom/kernel? and how are your settings? USB debugging set on/off? auto connect set to "ask on connection"?

Its common with the 2.2.1 roms. What you need to do is replace the vold.conf, and the vold.fstab files in system/ect. I have attached the ones you need. Just use root explorer and drop them in the ect folder, reboot, and test.

you should download toolbox from development section and the first option is to install drivers. once u run the program. install it and then test the usb cables. by the way i never charge my phone from a computer i like separate chargers so im using the charger for BB to charge my battery. its quicker as well.

Hey, so when I try to connect my GS2 to the computer (via USB), it doesn't connect for some reason. After connecting it, it takes about 5 secs and it starts to charge but doesn't connect to the computer. I've tried a couple of different ROMs and also on 2 other computers and its the same result. I need help please. Thanks
First make sure drivers are installed if so then try another cable that could be the problem.

You are missing the drivers. Search via Google for the hardware ID or simply by the model of the phone.

I have had the drivers installed, and I tried my brother's HTC usb cable and it still doesn't work.
My thread is right above yours. There are USB port issues with this phone. Although I feel for you, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. If you have insurance take it back cuz it only gets worse. Flash stock while you still can, if you're not already running it. Trust me.

When I plug in my s3 to my computer (windows 7 ultimate) it just says USB device not recognized.
I've tried to uninstall all samsung usb mobile drivers and reinstalled them again.

Try another USB cable? The Samsung one I got with the GS3 does this to me a lot now (so I just keep it in the charger since it works for that) but my Sony Ericsson one works fine

Hello Developers actually i'm in deep trouble in the past few day my mini usb port has been broken so i made it repaired by a local vendor now it doesn't recognise my phone it only charge and i'm stuck on 2.1 update 1 after the repair was done now it shows me no service and i didnt root my phone so kindly give me suggestion to fix plz..
No root, so just try to go to PC companion and press REPAIR and try this or just go to repair shop and let them deal with this.
Sounds like it hasn't been repaired correctly, seems like the only thing fixed on it is the power pins and not the data pins I would take it back and get them to double check their work more than likely they will not accept responsebility for it so might be worth to take it to another repairer and get a second opinion

it has been repaired twice so any suggestions
Looks like its a hardware fault could be the actual mini USB port or the motherboard contacts which is more than likely due to the resoldering in the previous repairs so I would say its fault is on the motherboard near the mini USB port not sure if that can be repaired a new phone maybe required

Well for signal go to settings-networks&wireless-mobile networks and network mode and change it and see if it helps. And for USB thing. Make sure your PC is connected to the internet, turn off you phone and press the power button, when the phone vibrates connect the phone to the PC using the USB and see if the drivers get installed.

Hey, sorry if this is too much. I just posted a first impressions thread but this is really urgent.
I can't charge the phone over USB. It has to be connected to the wall socket. I can't even transfer data with the USB cable. What to do? Is this a faulty unit or is the voltage on the usb not enough? The latter would be totally unacceptable. My SGS3 charges etc. just fine with the same port and cable.
It did work on my other (Sony Vaio Pro) laptop. Just not on my Asus. What can be wrong here? I tried it in every port and nothing happens. SGS3 works perfectly.
Are you using original cable? If not try with it.
Try other ports and if possible, try other computers. If it still won't charge/transfer data then you can rule out the computer and pin the problem to the phone.

It works just fine on my other laptop. I think the issue really is the lack of drivers. I can find the device in device manager but no driver.
