Hey guys,
A friend of mine was having some trouble with his S2 which was running Omega rom v16.2 (phone would say it was charging with no cabe in it etc), so i told him he should try updating to Omega v23 Final and see if that fixed the problems.
However, after installing Omega v23 Final, he was stuck at the bootscreen, i told him it the first boot could take a while but it was stuck at bootscreen for a couple of hours before he gave up.
He tried everything, he wiped everything in recovery (system, cache, dalvik etc) but the problem persist.
So i figured i would flash the stock android rom via odin since nothing was working,
But the problem is that windows does not recognise the phone, neither does odin. (he had this in the past on old rom, it would recognise for some time then it wouldnt and so on)
it tries to install but fails every time, i tried installing several different drivers ( kies, and different stand alone driver packs) but i could not get it to work.
So, does anyone happen to know what is wrong?
Help is appreciated!
edit: odin does not say anything, windows says the usb device could not be installed
Tried several usb cables and ports, without succes
I think Debug Options wasn't enabled.What does Odin say?
Edit:Your USB is bad! If it says it's charging w/o a cable,it means bad USB...Try to lift the tongue(The metal part inside the USB port)with a toothpick.
And you could also try another usb cable as well as another usb port.

So, My SGS2 was fine, just a few problems with connecting to my MacBook Pro (bootcamped Win7 & Odin), but after a few attempts it would always connect. I tried to update a rom to the new leaked ICS build via Mobile Odin, but something went wrong and all the charging images failed drawing.
Anyways, yesterday I tried to flash a recovery image via odin, to get back to my NAND and it failed halfway through (dodgy connector on SGS2).
Tried it a second time, and failed on flashing kernel.
I can access download screen, but windows refuses to recognize the phone, installing drivers for a "unknown device".
Tried flashing a kernel through OSX Lion and Heimdell, but it keeps failing to either find a device in download mode, or "claiming interface failed"
I've brought a new cable, but i have a feeling my USB port on the SGS2 has gone. Any help? Insurance most likely won't cover because it now says (2 Custom Binary Downloads) and they don't cover, and surely warranty has voided too.
Please help?
I will make a donation to the the person who can help me.
new leaked ICS build via Mobile Odin
Thats a test pre beta build guess its the problem .
Looks a usb driver problem that what you try .
remove Kies reboot reinstall Kies connect phone in download mode and let windows find drivers .
jje
try reinstalling kies. Or better yet use another computer for flashing. Can you boot into recovery mode? If so try flashing a custom rom to try to boot up your phone for the mean time

@JJEgan
Kies idea isn't working. My guess is the fact its 64bit Win7 on MBP bootcamp.
Or at least I'm hoping. Won't get to a desktop computer till monday, so had to buy a cheap backup phone.
@ephraim033
Flashing the new rom removed recovery, and can only access download mode.
I just get a screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".
So far, I have noticed I either restart the computer (after uninstalling failed "unknown device" driver) and/or leave it for a while, and bam, it searches for drivers for the phone when I retry , but it seems to be related to pure luck with the positioning of the cable into the phone.
I have cleaned it several times with canned air and computing alcohol (i wont dare spell the name of it, and don't have the bottle to hand right now) so dust and debris is not the issue.
Edit: the failed driver comes up with "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" so I'm guessing i have to uninstall and reboot each time I try?
SOLVED. Have found the issue. Uninstalled KIES and all drivers. MEGA DEEP clean with a brand new dry tooth brush (infront and behind the protrusion within the usb port on both the phone and laptop).
Several reboots on both phone and laptop.
Second try, installed serial gadget and Samsung drivers automatically, installed CWM.
Many thanks

I am owner of the Galaxy S2. I updated yesterday to SuperNexus Jelly Bean ROM, didn't liked it. I restored my device to CM9 which i was using for a month without any problems. Then it started, computer couldn't recognize the phone anymore. Its like that SuperNexus broke something i don't know. I reformatted my Win 7 Ultimate x64 and installed fresh new CM10 - but after all my computer and S2 don't like each other - USB device not recognized. Chaos. I asked my friend to come over just to test with his S2 (he's on stock ICS 4.0.3 or 4.0.4), and when i plug his phone into my computer, everything works flawlessly. I tried mounting in recovery, i tried with and without usb debugging, Odin doesn't find phone neither, tried updating drivers - no luck... Dialing *#7284" just gives me "connection problem or invalid MMI code". Need help on this please!
You can check THIS thread. The one HERE , and also THIS thread.
I've read them all, tried every advice, but phone still isn't reacting to anything. So my problem is that phone couldn't connect to a computer, well it connects but it states "USB device not recognized", it charges but that's all. Everything started with Custom ROM SuperNexus. I've done these steps so far:
1. Reformatted my computer OS, which is Windows 7 Ultimate x64
2. Downloaded CM10 over my phone, get into recovery --> factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format system, install ROM, wipe cache, wipe factory
3. I tried on my computer, tried on my old computer with Win XP x86
4. My friend's Galaxy S2 is working like a charm with MY cable on MY computer, which makes me believe that there is some defectiveness in my phone
5. I tried cleaning MicroUSB port with tooth pick, ear-cleaning pick (or how do you call it), needle with some paper wrapped around it, tried blowing in it
6. I tried with different USB ports, front ones, USB 3.0 - still no luck
7. I tried flashing Wanamlite and Neat ROM-s, still the same problem
I'm using Airdroid now, but i really need to know what's the problem! I have already ordered a new parts on E-Bay and I'm having high hopes about that solution. Im not able to post link to E-bay item, but search it under Item Number: 150904945773. Any other advice is really highly appreciable. Thank you
Try downloading the Rom over WiFi, or Hardline instead. Have you tried a different USB Cable ? Also I'm not able to check that Ebay # right now.

eBay item is this: New Samsung i9100 Galaxy SII S2 Charger Charge Port Flex Cable Replacement parts
OP, I'm hoping it works for you. You seem to be going in the right direction with your troubleshooting.
Well, i've downloaded this ROM (CM10) via WiFi, now i can do it over Airdroid too. But is there a way to flash Stock Original Samsung ICS in recovery? Or is it only available in Kies and Odin? I came across "Mobile Odin", do you guys have some experience with it, is it safe to use? How big are chances anyway that USB will work with stock ROM? Someone told me "your USB port on phone is OK, if it's charging it's not broken", so I'm thinking that it is not a hardware issue after all? And BTW i used several cables, and three different computers. My girlfriend have SGS3, i tried it like 2 hours ago with her cable on her computer with no luck (and of course her phone have no problems to connect to that computer using that cable). Thank you
I would try a Stock Rooted Rom, and see if that works correctly. If not try connecting the Device, and reboot the PC with the Device plugged in.
How to install stock ROM if i cannot get Kies or Odin to recognize phone? Via Mobile Odin?

Try USB solutions from My Android Solutions or Mobile Odin like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28302093&postcount=4789 ( procedure is same but written for Korean SGS 1
Guys let me tell you that I'm grateful to you, cause this Mobile Odin worked and my Stock Rooted ROM worked in connecting with PC. But not on first try when i got into a newly flashed Stock Rooted Firmware, i've let it to do his stuff, update what he needed to update blahblah. Then i tried to connect my cable - it didn't work. I cursed, i cursed so bad. Then i considered to give it another shot, rebooted the phone - and voila! Everything works, i tried 2-3 times and its working. Obviously SuperNexus started my problems, they couldn't be repaired by any other ROM i tried (i tried CM9, CM10, Wanamlite, old Wanamlite with MTP enabler, Neat ROM)... Then with Mobile Odin everything just worked. Dunno what really was the problem. Thank you all
Glad you got it sorted

Hello
I've had this problem for a couple of days now and while Google is turning up plenty of threads and solutions nothing seems to be working.
Yesterday I tried to encrypt my SGSII and but it failed and would no longer boot. So I flashed a no ROM via recovery (there was a notice about corrupted memory) and restarted. Since then I've only been able to access the phones download mode. Most posts with this kind of problem suggest that Odin is required. Windows will not recognize my phone in while in download mode, therefore I can't use Odin. Windows will, however, recognize it as a Samsung SGSII in the device manager if I let the phone boot up and hang at the SGSII logo screen.
The things I've tried so far
Installing Kies
ONLY installing samsung usb drivers
Cleaning the usb port
Rebooting phone and pc several times
Tried different cables
Tried a different PC
Additional info: Last ROM I was running was one of the cyanogen 10 nighties.
Sorry everyone, I know this seems to be a pretty common problem but I'm just out of ideas to try.
So, do I need to buy a new phone? Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Cheers
I know that many people have issue with connecting SGS2 to PC, and i also know that there are plenty of different solutions on internet, but i wouldn't be writing here if i haven't tried literally almost every possible solution out there. I spent 2 days trying to fix this, but still no result.
PC doesn't recognize that my phone is connected, and on the rare occasions when it does - it just shows me an error with drivers - "Windows can't recognize device" or something like that. Of course i tried numerous times reinstalling drivers, Kies, i tried to connect on 3 different PCs, i bought a new cable today - still nothing (but when other phone is connected with the same cable, its recognized immediately.)
I'm running a custom ROM - XWLSW NeatROM Lite v4.8 (JB 4.1.2), but I flashed this rom several months ago and i didn't have a problem with connection until last month. I also tried several other ROMs, but nothing helped.
I tried to dial *#7284#, then change USB to Modem and then back to PDA, didn't help - the same with *#9090# and setting it to Log via Uart. And of course, USB debugging is off. I'm really desperate, the phone is working fine in any other way, but this is a huge complication for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also sorry for my english, I'm Slovak.
Hmm, could be a problem with the USB port in the phone. I had the same symptoms and turns out the USB port was damaged so i got it replaced (i has warranty)
Also have you tried if ODin recognizes the phone? Go into Download mode and open Odin. If you see yellow (or blue) box with writing "com:" something than you're good. Otherwise it's the first alternative
I tried Odin, still nothing. Well, I hope it's not a problem with phone USB port - i have a warranty, but I bought it on Cyprus.
Is there any other solution?
I know this.It's a Sammy ROM bug.I had it too on stock 4.0.3.Since 4.2.2 I don't have it.
Well, yesterday I tried SentinelROM v4.75-CM10.1, which has 4.2.2 FW, and still the same problem
Hello guys, I have this problem. Recently my apps stopped updating ( I think Playstore and Google Services updated and made that happening...idk) and couldn't access most apps, then began to restart 4/5 times in a day automatically, and couple of days later just showing the logo after turning on. So I decided to update the OS but as it's rooted it wont let me. I used to have 4.3 version (don't the name, maybe Pineapple Pizza) so I decided to start from scratch after backing up everything, took note of version in my country, efs, etc). Made a wipe clean through TeamWin, and with Odin tried to make a new install ( Stock).
Unfortunately when connecting to my pc can't recognize device "“USB device not recognized”.
I tried cleaning USB connector with dried toothbrush, other ports in the back. With other 2 computers and same result.
Installed Kies but didn´t work, unistalled Kies and tried latest versions of drivers for windows 7, same result. Tried Samsung latest drivers ( older ones), didn't work either. I have tested other devices in the USB ports and they all work fine. I thought it might be that I didn't selected "USB debugging mode" before the wipe clean...or it wasn't a Wipe Clean at all...(?).
I checked most of simmilar problems in the forum, but I couldn't find a solution, sincne I can't even access my phone.
So, Im here with my oldie S3 in some kind of "limbo"
Any ideas that might help?
Thank you very much in advance! and sorry if Im posting in an incorrect forum.
