I just got a new T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant. Running 2.1 Froyo Update 1, on JI6 modem and 2.6.29 kernel. Stock unrooted so far.
When I plug in my Samsung Vibrant into my Windows 7 64bit Machine, it is not being detected by Windows Explorer. I installed Samsung's Kies Mini and to STILL not being detected by the program. I installed 64 bit drivers and nothing. I've tried a combination of setting under USB settings Samsung Kies, Media Player, Mass Storage and Ask on Connection. None of them work.
I enabled/disabled USB Debugging in combination with some of the usb settings. I've disconnected and tried every single USB port on the back of my motherboard. I've reset the phone, and my computer. NOTHING WORKS. If someone can point me in the right direction if would be GREATLY appreciated. This is my first android phone and so far its not going so well....Will give THANKS to anyone who helps. What my main goal is to wipe the phone clean, and install a 2.2 rom on it or even Vanilla 2.2 With Root. Still new to this stuff....
Have you gone to the samsung website and downloaded/installed the drivers for your phone?
Here's a link for within XDA that has both the 64 and the 32 bit drivers

I think my issue is my LG Data cable. I've read around and apparently I need a Samsung Certifed USB Data Cable?
Edit: And yes I got the EXACT same drivers off the Softpedia page. Gonna reinstall for a another try but I'm 100% sure its my gimpy USB Cable.
Ah. I suppose that's possible as well. It's the same with car charger sometimes too. If it isn't setup with the exact same pins that your phone has then it won't work. So, even if the connectors look identical, apparently they're not.

You need a samsung certified data cable.
The pins look the same, but they aren't. Once you get the cable (I'm sure it's not more then $5), it should work. If you have T-Mobile around you (you have canada, so go to the provider that offers the equivalent of the Vibrant), ask to buy a "SAMSUNG CERTIFIED DATA CABLE". Nothing else.
Ordered one off of ebay should be arriving shortly. Hopefully this fixes my problems.
Same Problem
I'm having almost the same issue. However, rather than not being recognized by Windows, it tells me that there's a problem with the driver. And that's after I reinstalled Samsung's driver.
I'm not sure if the problem is with the phone, or with the cable, or with my computer. I'll try again at work on Monday.
In the meantime, assuming the problem is with the phone, how do I hard reset the phone, wiping the Samsung update, etc.? If I do so, will the Android Store know that I purchased all my apps, or will I have to buy them again?
And what backup program do you recommend for copying all my user data to my micro-SC card so that I don't loose everything.
Used my old BB cable and voila. Thanks for the help guys it was the USB cable indeed.
Hey guys, I did try searching, but if I missed a post please link.
Problem is this: Randomly at the beginning of the week 3G stopped working, and along with that (probably unrelated, but never-the-less...) the phone, when plugged into any computer, would not be recognized ("Unrecognized Device" and under device status is it would say "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"). I did fix the 3G issue, but the phone still won't connect to any computer.
I've tried on computers with and without samsung drivers, with the phone both in and out of debug mode, usb storage both on and off. Currently on my PC it sees that it is a samsung device, but it has the yellow triangle, signifying that it still cannot start the device. Cannot ADB into it obviously, and cannot even get ODIN to see it when in download mode. Yes, I've also tried 2 different cables.
Using Windows 7 on all the computers I've tried it on (don't own anything older unfortunately/fortunately) and currently using ComRom 2 RC 2 PBJ (though this started on ComRom 1.3, and have tried the OTB kernel as well) thoughts?
Thanks guys!
Have you tried booting to CWM while plugged into the usb? That usually fixes it for me.
what i do is go to device managers look for your device and make sure the right drivers are installed once you install the drivers everything should be good

just gave that a shot. new dialog box popped up "usb device not recognized".
I'm probably going to try and go back to stock, but I'm not sure if that is really the issue.
Same thing here.. no idea what to do.. last time this happened I installed/uninstalled drivers until I thought I was going to puke.. even now I'm on a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 with SP1.. so .. this is really starting to suck!! Plug in the device and INSTANTLY "device unknown"... Yeah.. right!
Have both of you tried changing usb setting from mass storage to ask on connection? Uncheck usb debugging, go into usb settings change it from mass storage to ask on connection, go back and turn on usb debugging, then connect phone to computer.

I will do this promptly and post if there is a success story.. har har!! Thanks for the tip.. we'll see..
/EDIT/ Does nothing... nothing at all.. I hear the sound when USB is connected to Win7 ... then immediately says "unknown device" doesn't even seem to try and pull drivers.. it's almost ready to fly out the window...
/EDIT2/ Well I just got one step closer... I basically uninstalled ALL USB hosts, etc. Restarted, they installed.. then plugged phone in.. recognized, got the "installing device drivers", then FAILED to install... I'm lost.
Now here is the actual message that I am getting, I can only assume OP is too...
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

Oddly enough, I'm not getting that. I'm getting error 10, device failed to start. I'm sure these are related somehow.
Also, I did try the above suggestion, with no success. I did notice though after I unchecked "usb debugging", told it to ask on connection, then re-enabled usb debugging i get "no accessibility services" which I'm not sure is an issue, but it is never-the-less an error message. does everyone get that message?
thanks for the help everyone

I get that message everytime I check usb debugging. Just click OK and everything should be fine.
All I know is that it's out-right ridiculous.. I seriously doubt there is anything wrong with either of our phones since this has worked fine to this point.. I'm just trying to get back to stock using ODIN .. but can't .. I am so frustrated I can't figure it out..
Something interesting here.. I plugged the USB cable into a port and windows said it was an unknown device.. I just plugged the cable in.. bad cable issues??
I have been attempting to fix this very problem for weeks. Nothing has worked. It won't even recognize the phone in Recovery or Download mode (Odin or Heimdall). I'm getting tempted to request a phone replacement.
For me it started right after I installed blackberry drivers on Win7 x64. Does anyone else have this in common? Maybe recently installed other USB drivers? Perhaps the problem and the install are mere coincidence? Anyway I ordered a new USB cable so I'll give that a try.
Also, has anyone trided naven's format utility? I'm starting to think this may be the signs of the USB port dying.
I wonder.. will there be an issue for service if I have a rooted phone with custom rom installed? That's the only issue right now about sending the phone back.. and the more I think and mess around with it.. if I hold the plug snug in the phone and wiggle the cable some, I can connect and disconnect... I think my cable is messed up ...
I think I have my issue resolved... Usb cable is bad... My buddy has the same cable end to his phone charger and it will charge my phone... And now my cable won't even do that... Need to find a usb cable to verify but it seems these cables are very sensitive... Check your cable OP...

Just picked up a USB cable from Walmart .. not a bad deal and guess what? Fixed 100% ... Was a bad USB cable. Never again will I use the Samsung USB cables.. only lasted about 3 months.. LoL.. All fixed!!! YAY!!!! OP - I think you will be all set as well once you get your new cable..
Replaced the cable and I still have the error. =(
I'm not sure what else I can even try...
EDIT: Fixed it. Uninstalled all USB drivers from my system and let windows reinstall them. toggled USB debugging on the device and mock locations on and it works. What an odd problem..
I Also solved this issue with a new cable. I had tried a different cable and still had the same problem.
So I wasted much of two days troubleshooting. Finally arranged for a warranty replacement but still had the same problem. I was getting ready to do a clean installation of windows and it struck me. Try a new cable, even though the two cable test ruled that out.
I figured that was worth a try before rebuilding windows.
The new cable fixed the problem. The 2 cable test should have revealed this. It's possible I had two issues and the warranty replacement and the cable fixed it.
Sorry that a second cable didn't fix the problem for the person above me.

I have a stock Amaze which I bought used. It charges fine through the USB but I can not mount it to my PC.
The PC does not acknowledge the phone at all and the phone does not acknowledge the PC at all, It just begins charging. I asked the previous owner, but he says that he always used a card reader and never tried accessing the phone through the USB port.
Has anyone run into this?

have you tried all of your usb ports.. and also maybe checking to see if you have the htc usb drivers installed.. or if they are upto date.. and about uninstalling all of your usb drivers.. restarting your pc and trying again... or checking if the phone can mount to another computer just to make sure its not your computer..?

I've tried multiple computers and multiple cables including 2 OE HTC cables with the odd end. I've restarted the PCs and the phone. I tried with USB de-bugging both checked and unchecked. I haven't updated any drivers but I did install HTC Sync on one of the computers. I would think that even without the proper drivers, I would at least get an error message but I get nothing.
you need to install the htc usb drivers for the phone to be recognized by your computer.. open device manager and go to usb settings.. plug your phone it to see if it registers on the device manager.. after you installed the htc usb drivers (you don't need htc sync thats for updating and backing up sense)... if anything you can try to factory reset your phone..

I installed installed a driver package that that was named "HTCDriver3.0.0.007". Nothing registers in the device manager when I plug the phone in. I'll try a factory reset tonite and see what happens.
Also, I sent a message to HTC support this morning, but I didn't get a response yet.
Thanks for the help so far. If anybody's got any more ideas or experience with this, I'd love to hear.
dose your computer make any sounds when you connect the phone to it? and where did you get those drivers from? you might want to uninstall them and install the ones that come with hasoon's AIO toolkit.. or get them directly from the htc website

That driver actually did come from hasoon. The only thing available from the HTC site was Sync and a tethering driver, which I tried both.
when you install and uninstall drivers from the computer normally your suppose to restart the computer and the device.. and dose your computer make a sound when you plug your phone in? and does the charging light on the phone come on?

There's no sound from the PC or phone, but the charging light does come on.
if the light comes on the device is connecting to the computer.. if there's no sound the device isn't being recognized by what your plugin it into.. there could be one issue with the usb drivers on the computer and or something wrong with the usb port of the phone.. do you have another phone to connect it to the same cable.. using the same usb port on the pc to see if that phone gets recognized by the computer...? if it does then there's a problem with your phones usb port.. if it doesnt then it might be the cable or the usb port.. do the following un-install all of your usb drivers.. even the htc one.. restart your computer in safe mode with networking and then re-install the drivers and then plug in the phone to test it.. or you can boot the phone into bootloader by removing the battery from the phone then re-inserting it and power on the phone by holding volume down and power till the phone boots up.. go to fastboot and see if the phone recognizes the usb from there...
i still think the main issue here is driver related though.. maybe you have a virus on your computer messing with the drivers or firewall or antivirus or something.. but try the safemode with networking first before anything else...

No luck with safe mode. I just ordered a new OE USB cable. It's hard to believe that I have 2 bad cables, but it was cheap enough. I may try the reset also.

Unfortunately to me it sounds like a messed up usb port in your phone. I have a moto defy that got water in the USB port and same problem now. It charges, but is not recognized by the computer in any way. No matter what computer, drivers installed or not, my amaze is always recognized somehow, when I plug it into a computer.

If anyone cares to know, I got a response from HTC. They had me do some tests which I had already done (different cables, different ports, reset the phone), which of course didn't work. They told me to call the service center. The girl I talked to seemed reasonably knowledgeable. She told me that it's very unusual for the port to be bad in such a way that it charges but won't pass data, but that it was not impossible. She checked the serial number and told me that I was on my last day of warranty and if I shipped it that day it would be covered, assuming there is no damage due to owner misuse. So I sent it in.
Assuming they can and do fix it, I'm not sure if they will give me any details as to what was wrong, but I will let everyone know what happened. I saw a few instances online of people having the same issues as me with HTC phones but no one ever seemed to have any solutions.
i'm not shocked that htc wasn't able to help... 75% of the time the people working tech support don't know anything they always read "steps" to fix certain problems from their database... **** i learned so much about computer's from google its not even funny... i don't call tech support unless "google" cant find a solution.. lol

My Amaze has been fixed under warranty and will supposedly be here tomorrow. I doubt HTC will tell me what the problem was, or whether it was a hardware or software issue.

One reason you can get "device not recognized" is if your USB cable is going bad. Cheap aftermarket cables don't have good strain relief and can cause one of the data wires to break. If it was recognized yesterday but not today, there's a pretty good chance the cable's bad.
maybe try a different port on the back of the pc.

My P7500 originally came with Honeycomb and worked fine. I didn't know about the other ROMs at the time when the popup announced the ICS 4.0.4 was available. I received and installed the official ICS 4.0.4 via OTA. Stupid mistake!
Since then, I have not been able to access my Connection kit (for usb, memory stick and external SDcard), Connect via USB cable to my laptop (or any other pc), or connect to my tablet with Odin, Kies, or any other tools that work via USB. My other tablet and phone GT-I9001 and GT-P7300 both rooted and running perfectly, work fine with all the same features I am missing on my P7500, as well as connecting to my PC, ...
Currently, I get files back and forth using dropbox and email without any problem, which allows me to use the tablet as an everyday device. The problem is: I want to be able to root my device so that I can use titanium backups, ... and have the freedom that others here have in rooting their devices.
My questions:
- Is there any way to root my device without having access to Odin or Kies?
- Does anyone know how to enable the missing "features" that came after the ICS update?
This really sucks guys. I know its not n XDA problem, but I have no place else to turn.
All I want to do is root my device :\
Thanks in advance
SOLVED
This was a crazy one to solve but I finally figured it out. It's relevant to the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500 and Galaxy tab 8.9 P7300 running ICS 4.0.4. I could not produce this problem in Honeycomb!
There are few things that you can try before this fix. If you want to skip to the end and just try to fix, go ahead as it won't break the bank.
So as in other threads here are a few things to try first (in no particular order).
1. Buy and replace the samsung cable with an original oem samsung usb cable. Just because your cable charges your tab, it doesn't mean all the pins are making contact all the way through for a data connection!
2. Using canned air, carefully blow out the port on the bottom of your galaxy tab to make sure there is no dust or trash preventing connections to the pins.
3. Make certain you have the correct Samsung usb driver's installed in your machine. To be certain, you can try with another Samsung galaxy device. Windows 7 or better will install the driver for you when you plug it in for the first time. If your computer doesn't make a "connected usb device" sound, you'll probably need to skip to the end. Even with the wrong or no driver's, windows will still announce a connected usb device, so pay attention.
4. Make sure the "usb debugging" mode is enabled in settings, although on all three of my test machines, it didn't matter.
5. Make sure "mtp" is checked in storage settings, although in all three of my test machines, it didn't matter.
6. Finally, the things which has made you crazy and brought you here. Samsung tells you to wips your device, people in forums have ignored you, accused you of being a noob, insulted you in unimaginable ways, but here you are, and you're not crazy. So I can't tell you why your tab doesn't connect, but I can tell you how it got that way. I can even repeat the steps that made it happen. You may have installed OTA ICS 4.0.4 update for your tab. Then upon restart, your tab no longer connected to your pc. it no longer recognized the usb sdcard reader, you couldn't get kies or odin to connect to it. You were f**ked!
Here is how I fixed it each time. I purchased the Samsung OEM desktop dock, plugged that into my win7 x64 laptop, then plugged the tab into the dock! My laptop immediately detected my undetectable tab, and my tab announced a usb connection with laptop. So freaking simple it makes me sick! Now the tab works with cable or dock.
The dock model number is Samsung EDD-D100BE Desktop dock
If you found this useful, please give me a thanks.
Theory what causes the problem. For some reason the hardware id gets corrupted inside the Tab itself. Introducing the dock, changes the hardware Id and the tab can communicate over usb again. I'll figure this out and post more details as I learn.
Thanks for reading

I wish this worked, but it didn't for me. Bought myself the Samsung Dock edd-d100be and tried it on all of my computers, but none of them detected it. It's not the cord, since I tried another one. It charges fine, but the computer never sees it.

it's very important to make sure you have the original Samsung OEM cable. I had two additional (chinese made) cables which worked for my 7300, but refused to work with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Moreover I had one cable which was the original Samsung cable but it didn't work also. I'm fairly certain that cable didn't work because of the abuse of traveling around the world for a couple of years . All of those cables appeared to function because they charged the tablets perfectly. For me this was an incorrect assumption. It is possible for the cable to charge the tablet but still give the inconsistent data rates because of loose wires, being pulled, bent connectors, ... We must also try to remember that for many of us the cable is a consumable item. That simply means it deteriorates, with use, overtime! So when I had the new Samsung OEM cable, had all the settings correct, with driver's installed, then dropped the tablet into the dock, my P7500 connected to my computer. If you've done all these things, blew out the connector with the cannefd air on the tablet, and you haven't skipped any points, or made any assumptions, it might very well be that your port on the tablet is broken.
I hope this helps.
