Hey so I've been using Villainrom happily for a while now but recently tried out cyanogenmod which worked fine except for no USB mount. I figured it was just the rom and went back to Villainrom, USB working fine again.
With ICS themes being available to checkrom and batista roms, I gave them a go and found that USB Mount doesn't work on these either
I'm back on Villainrom 3.0 now after downloading PC drivers from google, samsung, and just about every source mentioned on XDA + search engines plus installing Kies and (almost considered going back to stock everything with Odin) no luck. The error message is USB Device malfunctioned in a big balloon message on the trey.
The phone will charge but not recognize a USB device being attached for mounting, tried turning debugging on and off, and starting USB from wifi.
Not a big deal as I can mount USB Now on VillainRom. But I'm super curious as to why none of the other roms are working for me
I have the original USB cable as well as another third party one. For some reason my laptop responds better to the third party one so I've always used that, tried both but no results.
Specs:
Windows 7 64 samsung laptop
Samsung Galaxy S2
Baseband: 19100XXKI1
Kernel: [email protected] #20
Build: VillainRom 3.0
Phone made in Korea, imported to New Zealand, currently operating in Korea
Any suggestions appreciated
XXKI1 is my baseband... could that be the problem?
Cool, if anyone comes here looking for help with Samsung MTP Device not working, uninstall ALL of your USB drivers and reboot. solved
Ok so I was previously running Hydr0g3n ICS ROM an older version and I had mount problems where only internal sd would mount, but it mounted at least. Occasionally I'd have to reboot my laptop because of no detection but that'd fix it.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago and I installed Resurrection Remix 04/05 but got really weird issues when connecting to my laptop e.g. installing device drivers, failing, usb sounds coming and going, device being recognised then disappearing again. Eventually no response. I reflashed, fully wiped, everything, experimented with drivers. Then plugged it into a mates (newer) laptop and it worked?
Back to mine, didn't work, installed Hydr0g3n ICS 05/05 which ran a lot smoother but still same issues, I repeated the steps above and even after device drivers actually successfully installed, it'd work and then next day no response or detection when plugging in USB. Since then I've gone through the drivers route again, trying all sorts of windows fixes, it still works fine when plugged into a newer laptop.
So after all my research etc I've realised that it seems to be some sort of power issue with the phone/ROM, perhaps the newer laptops have more USB hubs which aren't shared between many devices and so it works but mine is very intermittent if not non-existent. Oh, all other USB devices work, flash drives, external hard drives, I have never had any issues with any USB devices. Just this.
Also, I've tried toggling USB Debugging, and MTP UMS PTP, nothing. Read something about fast charge but have no notification that it's enabled on boot and no option to disable it in Kernel tweaks since I'm not on a supported kernel.
Hydr0g3n ICS ROM 2012 05 05 SGS2
3.0.29 Siyah v3.1.2
Any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE:
I ordered a powered USB hub off eBay, it arrived today and did not work with the phone.
UPDATE 2:
So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.
It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?
I plugged it in and hey presto, it popped up -_-
It's so strange the stock cable works on everyone elses laptops but mine, I don't know if it'll still work tomorrow though, I suppose if I don't re-comment then it still is working.
Bump?

just try 2 flash the latest siyah kernel and check
On Windows 7, after several USB connect-disconnect, I would experience Windows not responding to connection any more on that very USB port.
I usually have adb server running in background, so "Safely remove" feature is blocked, and I would simply remove after file operations are over.
I made a .bat file on desktop, that simply performs "adb kill-server", so that I can safely remove it, and have not experienced this problem since then.

I've tried all of the kernels, Siyah, Thoravukk, NEAK, and multiple versions of Siyah too, including the latest one.
Also my powered USB hub arrived today and it did not remedy the issue.

Could you perhaps explain this a little more to me?
I plug it in and literally it charges but absolutely nothing else happens. Anything else works in the same port, just not the phone for some reason.
USB problems basics .
USB port should be mainboard port .
Usb Port on phone multiple USB problem posts say clean port .
Kies or Samsung USB drivers should be installed with Kies not running .
USB cable try Samsung cable or another .
Try USB debugging off and or on .

1) Yes they are all mainboard ports - No response.
2) Have cleaned USB ports on mainboard many times. This seems irrelevant too since all other devices are recognized.
3) Have also experimented with combinations of this. (All combinations) Nothing.
4) I have only tried the Samsung cable since it's all I have, and it works on all of my friends laptops.
Also, I plug it in, and it draws power (aka it charges) but nothing else. Not even a windows 'bong'. Even with the powered USB hub, it still only charges.
However the minute I plug it into a friends laptop it seems to work just fine.
@ op
goto device manager and uninstall the android devices you see there with the option "delete device drivers completely" and make a reboot.
now install the usb drivers and plug in the device.

This last point tells me there are possibly some registry settings on your computer that are keeping the drivers from loading properly.
I've never had to do this, so I don't know what to look for EXACTLY, but you may need to get a registry cleaner and try to eradicate all traces of Kies and Samsung drivers from your computer, then re-install either Kies (to get the drivers) or the stand-alone USB drivers.
I remember reading another post some time back about some other guy who actually totally re-installed Windows... which is a bit like using explosives to kill a mosquito, if you ask me.
However, try bala_gamer's suggestion first. That may be all that is needed.

NO its the phone USB port .
Agree that if all fails try reinstall of Kies and drivers after a delete .
Delete registry kies .

So believe it or not I didn't actually go into detail in the op! But a few more things to note are that the device does not show up in device manager at all. Even with shadow device detection enabled. I have used all manner of driver software available to clear out all old usb drivers/any drivers which may be conflicting etc. I have also removed and reinstalled the usb host controllers and root hubs many times

Yes, indeed I also believed it to be some sort of registry problem, I have also used tune up utlities, registry mechanic and ccleaner (I think thats all there was!) and run registry scans/cleans/fixes/defrags. To no avail. I was actually considering reinstalling windows or something.

Yes, my bad, I have also cleaned that too. Also I didn't think it could be that since it seems to work on everyone elses laptop.
Just deleted those registry entries, rebooted. Nothing. Deleted a few more from old software which seemed to still be floating around, rebooted. Nothing.

I had the same problem with AOKP ROMs
I had the same problem with AOKP ROMs and then I installed MIUI and it worked again, I guess you can try any other ROM (not AOKP) and check if it solves your problem.
So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.
It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?

Hey all,
I'm having real issues with my phone at the moment, I bought a PC from the college I work at, as they were upgrading and installed a fresh copy of Windows XP 32bit onto it, I am currently running Resurrection Remix 2.4, I wanted to be able to USB tether my phone to the PC whilst I am switching broadband providers, but when I try to connect it, both the phone tells me that the USB isn't connected and the PC doesn't pick it up either.
I tried downloading the USB drivers for the S2 to my USB stick at work and installing them that way, with no joy, I've tried flashing back to 2.3.5 (CheckROM Revo HD V6) other ICS ROMs and turning off USB Debugging but still nothing.
What can I do to sort this all out? I've searched all over Google and XDA, but I have yet to find a solution, any advice anyone can give me would be much appreciated.

Sent From My Resurrected I9100
Hey Guys,
I have a I9100g device with rooted, latest JB 4.2.1 Android. I have used ICS, JB 4.1.1, JB 4.1.2 and a couple of CM nightly builds for the last 2 months. For all the upgrades, device was working fine as expected. Now I have a problem with the USB port which is not recognized by PC/charger. So I am not able to charge the battery and to connect to the PC. But I am able to charge my battery when its switched off.
So I believe physical USB port works fine but some drivers may block the usb port after loading Android. Also I am not able to use Odin and hence unable to load Samsung stock version back to the device. USB is not recognized in its download/recovery modes and lsusb command under unix shows nothing about this device.
I have tried different firmwires (CM, SuperNexus) after this problem, but none of the firmwares fixed the issue. I have cleaned the usb port too.
Please help me to fix this if you ever came across same issue.
Did you ever fix this? I'm having similar symptoms, except that mine won't *always* charge when turned off, just sometimes. I'm pretty sure mine is a damaged port or connection.
Hey,
I have been using CM12.1 Nightlies since January, and I've been experiencing bugs related to USB recognition. Yesterday I've updated to CM13 thinking that it would solve this issue, but it haven't.
What happens is that I can't use USB storage/MTP/Odin/direct plug adb because my phone doesn't get recognized by the OS. I think that the USB port is not damaged because I can charge it when connected to my PC . I used to have CM11 and it worked fine, I think that maybe it is something related to the build itself..?
I have already tried a lot of methods, USB debug on/off, different cords, OSes (Tried on Windows, Mac, Linux), multiple adb/samsung drivers, apps.. nothing has worked so far.
I can only access the internal data using an external SD card or through network adb.
I think that the USB module was overwritten, because it looks undentified in every device that I've tested.
Has anyone experienced something like that? any tips, tests, or patches that I've missed?
Thanks.
Did you install Google USB Driver? I had to install this one to get my device on CM 13 recognized. It should work "out-of-the-box" on Linux distros though if you've got libmtp installed (for MTP browsing).

The device doesn't get recognized by Windows, it doesn't even show up on the connected devices list. The funny thing is that the phone actually charges, so it is not a dead usb connection...
I think that I'll have to replace the USB PCB...
Hello,
i tried to flash twrp to my i9100.
I had cm12.1 with cyanogen recovery and tried to apply update for :
"recovery-Lanchon-IsoRec-TWRP-2.8.7.0-20160113-i9100-(by-arnab)"
and
"kernel-Lanchon-TRIM-IsoRec-20160207-cm-13.0-i9100"
but know my phone is not starting anymore.
I already know that i used 13 kernel for 12.1 system and that was wrong.
I can access ODIN Mode but my pc (win10) and Odin v.3.10 don´t recognize my S2.
Can you tell me how to solve my problem?

Try reinstalling Samsung USB drivers. If that didn't work then try it on another computer.
Now my S2 is getting recognized again.
But i geht the error code 43.
The device description is failured.

Read this thread, it has the answer to your question.
Hey, OP here.
So just updating my status, I bought and replaced the Micro-USB connector and everything is working now, the device is recognized by the OS and I'm able to use use Odin/ADB normally.
If anyone out there is having the same issue, I recommend buying a new Micro-USB PCB. This phone is from 2011, batteries and connectors might stop working...
Thanks everyone for helping me out!
