Galaxy S2 Connection Problems...PLEASE HELP!!! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day everyone. I had Galaxy S2 since i know my self,but I didnt met this kind of problem. 2 Days ago i wanned to flash a new ROM to my S2, and odin stuff messed up. After Rebooting I got the message Firmware update issue thingy. I can go to download mode thats no problem. The biggest problem here is that whenever i plug in my USB cable into my phone, the computer recognizes it and then throws it out. I plug in, i hear the sound buuuunnggg, I start Odin, Thick PDA, select the ROM, and click start and it doesnt even reaches to end with Cache I hear the sond boooonnggg and Odin says its Failed, (Phone Removed). And the phone isnt connected anymore. Can someone help me out please? I really dont know what to do.

[Q] Galaxy S2 - Unknown USB Device - Device Not recognized

Disclaimer:
I've searched all over the forum and found few close to my problem but this seems different
Background:
I recently flashed my Galaxy S2 International version with CM9 nightly build. Since then, when I turn off the phone and put it for charging, the battery charging animation stays like that till the phone is fully charged unlike the stock ROM where that animation disappears after some time.
Simultaneously I've noticed something else, when my phone is plugged to USB cable attached to my computer, a pop up appears at the bottom right (notification area) which says "USB Device not recognized" and in Device Manager it's listed as "Unknown Device"
I ignored it thinking that it might be an issue with the CM9 Build as it's not fully functional. I've had the phone that way for around 10 days.
Recently I thought of switching to XXLPQ(Official ICS Update) and I got into Download Mode but Odin doesn't see the phone. No "communication" establishing between phone and computer.
I also had CM7.1 on SD Card and I thought flashing that old CM might bring my USB functionality back.
So got into ClockWork Mod Recovery and flashed it. Flash was successful. But now phone is in boot loop with "Samsung Galaxy S2" with an exclamation.
If I try to press and hold the power button, it comes back to that battery charging screen even though phone is not plugged to either USB or charger.
I can get into download mode(Odin can't see the phone) but not into Recovery Mode.
Three things that I see as of now on my phone are the boot loop I mentioned above or Download Mode (but not recognized by Odin) or Battery Charging animation.
I'm sure there's nothing wrong with USB Cables or Drivers or Kies or anything else. Because my brother's S2 works just fine which is on "Stock ROM".
I need help. I'm sure that CM9 nightly broke that basic USB Device functions on the phone.
Please let me know if there is any alternative for recovering my S2. I know that the worst is, it goes to Repair Center.
But I hate to give up on this!!
Are there any other tools or recovery softwares which can be used to re-flash the phone other than Odin no matter what screwed up state the phone is in!?
Deleted - sorry, hadn't read your post properly.
firstly i want to ask does your phone charges? if it does it sounds like u dont have development option enabled.. or ur usb port is broken.. if it doesnt charges then im pretty sure ur usb port is broken...
about the recovery.. can u use ur SD card on ur brother's SG2 and put stock rom into it? and then insert it into ur SG2 and try flashing it throught CWM

Thanks for the response Warrez!
- Phone charges (but that battery charging logo stays like that)
- When I flashed CM9 nightly I'm sure I haven't checked or played with Development option (It's not enabled)
- And last, I'm not able to get into Recovery Mode as well (already mentioned above)
Any other inputs!?
I have the EXACT same problem
Me too exact same problem .
I've confirmed my setup is fine as it works with Odin for my tab 7.7
Exact same issue, stuck at Samsung logo with exclamation mark. Can't get into recovery, can get into download but computer says device not recognised .
I was running Slim ics at the time then about to switch to cm9 and siyah kernel

Well.. I made some progress in last few days! I've taken out the battery and got into Download Mode. I was holding buttons and my brother inserted the battery. What I did was I powered of the system and connected the phone while it was in "Download Mode". I waited for some time.. Say more than 3-4 mins.
Rebooted my PC and once it's back it wasn't saying anything. For my surprise I see the "Yellow COM" established in Modem. Without delay I grabbed recovery ROM which is posted in one of the sticky threads. Flashed the phone.
Now, it got little interesting! When the phone is booted back post flashing it shows that "MTP Device" even though USB Cable isn't plugged into it!
When I turn off the phone, it either reboots back without hesitation or ends up at "big green battery charging" animation!
To get back into OS, I have to get into recovery mode and then I use "Reboot System"!
And that "USB Device malfunctioned or not recognized" thing is intermittent.
At times it says that and at times it establishes "COM connection" in Odin.
I re-flashed old bootloader thinking that it might be a phone's basic operating driver issue. But that didn't solve the issue!
I've even flashed latest stock European ICS Firmware.
And with ICS, things got even more interesting!
It started throwing up new message "Charging Paused due to over voltage"
What I'm sure of is.. It's definitely got to do with CM9 ICS. Because when I was on beta official ICS before I switched to CM9 Nightly phone was working like a charm! As soon as I flashed CM9 Nightly, I started getting that "USB Device Not recognized" issue with the battery irregularities.
I wasn't sure how I could get the phone recognized in Odin. Hastily I flashed CM7.1 on CM9 compatible ClockWorkMod Recovery enabled Kernel. That is when the problem got more complicated!!
I'm about to give up and pay someone to fix it via Jtag.
I've tried several computers, several cables , multiple reboots and everything else.
Windows just still says usb device not recognized so the phone must be corrupted somewhere.
Please change ur USB cable, i had this problem n its only frm the cable.
I don't believe this.........
I had tried two other cables ( a nokia usb>micro usb and another one ) as i had lost my samsung usb>micro usb lead and both those said unrecognised device....
I had just given up, ordered a jtag repair and then my old dear finds the samsung cable!!!!
Bizarely it now recognises the phone.
Hi Guys
I am having the exact same problem and am still looking for a solution.
My phone is not recognised by the PC after installing CM9 Nightly and now I am stuck until I can get the device driver installed again so that I can use Odin.
I am using the official Samsung USB cable which worked fine until the CM9 flash.
I am assuming this is a common problem so am hoping that somebody can supply a fix asap.
Any help will be appreciated

I had the almost the same problem .. I took it to the place I bought from .. and fix it .. they told me it was a hardware problem ( I remember with the hard disk .. I forgot )
The same thing, after using the Custom ICS LPQ roms!!
Now there's no way i can't use Odin to flash official rom!

Last time I checked.. My phone is getting detected in Odin. But not always! Every 5 attempts it sure is seen by Odin 2-3 times. And it's on ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ with "Charging Paused high voltage detected" message even though it's not plugged to charger or USB Cable.
My brother advised me to leave the phone that way and wait till it goes dead and then keep it dead for at least a week and then try charging it fresh with phone's stock charger. Now 5 days passed and I'm waiting for another 2 days to try this out!
Cheers,
A.

Gee.. Try this! Take the battery out of the phone and press the power button for few secs with the battery out. Take someones help to put the battery back while you are holding the download mode button combination.
When you get into download mode, leave the phone that way and do not plug it to the USB Cable. Power off the PC and wait of 3 mins. Now connect the phone to the USB Cable while the PC is still off and phone is in Download mode.
Turn the PC on and wait for till it reaches desktop and then give it 3-4 mins. Now launch Odin. If you have any luck you should see that "yellow COM"!
The same procedure worked for me! If you happen to see that "yellow COM" on Odin don't delay anymore. Just flash any stock ROM. 2.3.6 or 4.0.3!
P.S.
Odin may not see the phone on the first attempt. If so.. Repeat the steps for 2-3 times
All the best!
Cheers,
A.

HELP - Odin and kies won't detect my phone !

Here's the thing guys: a week ago i was at a bar whith some friends and one of them spilled a glass of beer on my phone.I queckly removed the beer from it,removed the battery,sim card and sd card and left it for 1 hour to dry.After that i put the battery back and turn it on.The soft just wen't crazy so i decided to go in CWM and flash the soft back and everything was working fine.During the night i left the battery and the sim out of the phone.In the morning after i used an hair-dryer to be sure that there was no liqued in it, i decided to charge my phone.All wen't well untill i unpluged it and got the a message saing : battery still charging.I pluged it back and left the phone there for 4 hours.Again the same problem.I restarted the phone and wiped battery status,still no efect.After this i decided to flash the stock firmware.I put the phone in downloade mode and connected to my laptop.First odin added the device,the removed it then added it again.After that i put the 3 files and hit flash,but the an error appeared: odin removed it again and windows 7 gaved my this message: usb not recognized.i tried every metode on the internet.No effect.Now odin and kies wont see it.
I've installed the drivers again and again.I am abble to enter downloade mode,but as i said odin wont see it.When i turn on the phone,i get this message: firmware upgrade encounted an issue.please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
I know that this is a soft brick problem,not a hard brick problem,because previosuly i had hard brick and repaired it with JTAG at a local service.
Before this problem appeared,i was using Rootbox Rom.
Please help me.I'm begging you.!
p.s: should i try to reinstall my windows ? and sorry for any grammar mistakes.
You need to clean up your device, usb por at least. 99% alcohol should do the trick.
Formatting win7 or clean samsung drivers & kies uninstall should do it too.
This is trial & error, you can always use that guy who spilled the beer's laptop

Your USB-Port is wrong. you should clean this up and also the whole phone as posted before. All this problems are caused by the USB-Port...
Disassemble it and clean it with q-tips and isopropyl alcohol,

Ummmmmm...sneaky little device, is it charging at least?
If not, usb is completly busted.
Anyways, if it does charge doesn't actually mean your pc will see it, are you using s2's genuine cable? Does your pc sees ANY DEVICE CONNECTED at all? An a unknown device at least?

I eventualy figuared out that my usb was broken, so i send it to a friend who works at samsung service.the repair cost 30 dollars.He told me that i was lucky,because at first he tought that the motherboard was damaged,but it wasn't.Now i have my phone and i recenty installed neatrom lite v4.4 and i have some problems:
1.When i lock the phone,my lockscreen won't appear ? how can i fix that ? i tried from setting,but nothing.
2.Should i install Siyah/Dorimanx or just stay whith the stock kernel ? i don't want my phone to have overheating problems,stability problems etc.I'm not a fan of OC,i just want the phone to move faster and that it won't get stuck,freeze,laggy.
3.How can i install those addons ? i'm interested in the aosp lockscreen with shortcuts and weather info,keyboard aosp,to have the circle battery note gallery and some camera options.thats all
4.How can i add more icons in the notification center ?
5.When i hold the powerbutton,the phone shuts done.Why is that ? I don't have the 4 options that were with the stock version(airplaine mode,data enabler,silent profile and power off).How can i have these back ?
Once again guys,thank you very much for your help.

[Q] i9100 detected by ODIN, but will not even charge from a USB when plugged in

Hi guys,
Its a bit confusing but I'll try to keep it as short as possible. It seems basically that I can charge fine in recovery and download but not in the ROM. Syncing doesn't work at all except download..
I have an i9100m. Ran NeatROM and RootBOX and dabbled with a few roms.
Now I'm not sure if it was the roms or wear and tear but I had ASSUMED until today that my USB port was messed. It would not even charge from a PC nevertheless mount as a mass storage on my PC. It can charge fine from an AC adapter.
Anyway, today I randomly decided to put my phone into download mode and what do you know, the phone detects, and I even see it in ODIN, so I guess my USB port is not messed afterall. Perhaps something with the ROMs and kernels that messed it up?
I think this was around the same time when my Triangle went away.... (I never removed it). In download mode now, it says:
Custom binary Download: NO
Current Binary: SAMSUNG Official
I'm rooted and not stock at all so I wonder if that's the cause?
I was thinking of downloading a stock TAR of my carrier and flashing through ODIN. Do you guys think this is sufficient to "Reset" it back to how it was all the way before? And then I'll root and go back to one of my trusted roms (and not mess around)
Thanks
Do you use the original USB cable to connect your phone? That could be an issue.
Anyways, I don't think that something is messed up software-side if you tried several ROMs.
Worst case is that the USB port of your phone is damaged =/
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yes I am using the original cable. (all same result but obviously wanted to use the original just in case)
I was thinking the USB port was damaged too because after reading, I guess apparently I accidentally created a usb jig? (triangle went away + stats wiped...)
But that aside, if my USB port is damaged, how come when I'm in download mode, PC and ODIN detect a device is connected and it charges, whereas within the ROM, I get neither ???
Just an update guys,
I used ODIN to flash completely back to stock... and I still cannot charge from PC. Basically computer doesn't see the phone at all. So it has to be a damaged port.. unless theres something else other than the internal SD that I can wipe????? I wanted to wipe everything..
Still really puzzles me though... that ODIN can see it in Download Mode.
One of the mysteries I guess.
Did you try to clean your mini usb port on the mobile? It could help.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
So....your phone only charges on DL Mode?????
Sent from the little guy
I have tried to blow some air in there.. any other suggestions?
Well, the computer only recognizes the device in download mode, Windows sees the device, otherwise it doesn't.Just strange that I was able to flash an entire stock image through ODIN but in the ROM can't even get the computer to recognize that ANYTHING is plugged in (or the phone to charge so the phone doesn't see anything either)
And again, whats even more strange is that i had that one cheap extendable USB cable that probably messed everything up (it removed my triangle..so I accidentally somehow created a jig?) is able to CHARGE the phone even in ROM but still the computer can't see it as a device. LOL
This is so messed. I guess my main thing is even if I go ahead to replace the USB port (get it repaired), do you guys still think this problem would occur... =\

I currently have the exact same problem, except for the flaky usb cable removing your triangle. Mine is still there.
I brought my S2 to a repair shop because i was sure it was my USB port, but the guy there told me it connected in download mode just fine so the USB port should be fine.
Here is what I tried so far
- cleaned USB port
- Used diferent cables
- Used different PC's
- Used different kernals
- Used different roms
- Re-formated/cleared/wiped everything I could find.
Did anyone find a solution? Should I still have my USB port replaced?
