You cannot root without a computer.
Your problem is probably a driver issue. Please read the quides carefully as they contain everthing you need to do it.

The USB cable is known to be good? Also, remove HTC sync but leave the drivers.

What version of windows are you using? im using 8 enterprise and could not get fastboot/adb drivers to install for my evo
Usb debugging is enabled in developer options?
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!

So you can't get anything to work from your computer including USB storage and fastboot commands? Sounds like a hardware problem with the USB port on the phone or the cable to me.
Does it charge properly? You could still have data issues even if it charges. Some cables only support charging and are not wired for data.

T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant, unrooted, running 2.1 with TouchWhiz.
Recently, my PC worstation stopped recognizing the phone when I plug in the USB cable. The phone battery will still recharge.
I've tried another cable, same result.
I'm wondering if the connector on the phone has gone bad? Any ideas?
I checked the other threads and didn't find an answer.
Thank you!

While it is possible, it's not likely.
What exactly do you mean when you say it's not recognized?
Is USB Debugging enabled?
Have you tested with adb?
Have you tested with another computer?
Have you tested with another rom/kernel?
Almost all the time, USB connectivity issues can be solved by troubleshooting and eliminating possiblities through trial and error. Unfortunately there are many many factors involved since you have software and hardware of two devices as well as the cable itself involved.

Turning on Debugging worked. But why did I need to turn it on now? I didn't need to do so before.
Hello

1- i have installed all the drivers and Samsung Kies updated to the last version
2- i have enabled usb debugging mode connection and still nothing
3- i have the stock gingerbread 2.3.6

Even if you have the correct drivers installed, some bad drivers might be picking the device up, overriding the good drivers. If you open up device manager, what shows up when you plug in the phone?

Nothing shows up!, that's the thing, the device seems to be recognizing the PC. it makes a sound when i connect it to the pc and the icon of usb connection shows up right on the notificacion bar, but on the pc doesn't make anything.
I installed the official drivers from samsung and Kies Too.

Snappea is an app for both windows and your android via which you can connect to your pc
1. First download and install Snappea (Google it "SnapPea" since i cannot post outside links)
2. When installed, it will ask some basic info and after connecting your phone, it will automatically download its android version
3. I guess thats all.... Youll understand its use via the tutorial (pretty much easy)
4. ENJOY!....enjoy transferring your files via pc and android........

What makes a sound when you connect it to the PC? Does the PC itself make a sound? And you did as I suggested and had Device Manager open when you plugged it in - did it refresh at all?

Strange! Do other devices work when plugged in?
the device makes a sound means it connected to USB only. it can be computer or charger.
did you try uninstalling usb drivers in device manager.
right click and update driver
then select have a disk..
show path ..Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers..
i can't remember the rest of the part.
then it will recognize
hope this help..

Oh then Idk i've never looked into it.
I'm having the same problem with my i777 model.
I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers, I updated the drivers, I tried debugging mode and I've tried "Mass Storage" mode.
Mass Storage mode was the only one that seemed to work for me, when I tried debug mode it would constantly connect and disconnect.
When I try without being in any of those modes, my phone will connect. My computer will recognize and then randomly my phone or computer wont be able to see each other anymore. Like my phone will disconnect from MTP-initialization (but still charge like it's plugged in)...I'm really interested in rooting my phone, but I don't want to since I can't connect my phone correctly. I don't want a $200+ phone becoming a brick and I can't replace it very cheap (anytime soon at least).
Here's phone info if it helps any..?
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-i777
Android Version: 2.3.6
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCKK6

Hmmm...I just tried something. My phone says it's not in MTP, but my PC can read it and open it up.
All I did was turn off my phone, then I plugged it in, then turned it back on and it's doing good so far...might give it a shot, I dunno how well it's really working or nothing though.
|-----EDIT------|
Now it's in MTP Application and synchronizing, I'm just trying to back up my phone with Keis so if I do decide to Root, I can back everything back up.

Man you really don't have a clue do you!!
Why in hell would you need OTG to flash a rom? Do you even know what OTG is?
Stop ignoring people that give you the solution too. It's really bad manners.
So download the stock rom and flash it.
You should spend a day reading up first before you damage the phone permanently.
Sorry if not being clear I have been listening my phone has a hardware issue and I'm not to much of a noob have tried each comment. I'm not to nooby but I have downloaded the drivers my device is not being recognized correctly I have a hazardous icon in device manager on my android phone lg ls970. My phone does not support otg I'm trying to install .zips through a flash drive and otg cable. I'm sorry if waisting peoples time with my apparently nooby question. Please c correct me if I'm wrong thanks for the support.
Let me be clearer I'm sorry for not spelling it out well enough. I have installed drivers many times I have installed the driver however my phone is not being recognized correctly I have uninstalled and tried again. Otg which I looked it up pretty handy in these situations, doesn't work for this phone (due to outputting)I had a cm10.2 kernal which may have had something do do with this. I have come to believe that its a hardware problem with the female port I will try again on another computer tomorrow and see.
What I want to know is why it still recognizes something and if its fixable?
Thx
I have fixed thanks luqman98 it was a problem with windows not allowing me to install drivers due to 8.1 update

a day after i rooted and flashed a rom on my l9, it just died, idk how. can't get into any kind of "mode". the strange thing is when i connect is via usb it tries to connect but a dialog box comes up in the bottom right saying "USB device not recognized" it makes the connect/disconnect sound over and over until i unplug it. Device manager doesn't show anything, it just keeps refreshing because the device is attempting to connect. I've tied different cables and different ports also, and no luck.
any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks
