Installed ICS 4.0.3 on my sgh-i717, a few days later it stopped charging and was unable to be recognized on any PC. I connected it to Kies via wifi, put the stock att rom back on it, reflashed though CWM, flashed counter and still nothing, set it back to samsung, got a new phone.
THen yesterday (2 days after i got my new phone) I flashed the new OnlyOne ICS rom 4.0.4 on my phone, then not even 3 hours later, my USB wasnt working again.......charges when it wants, but CANNOT be recognized by and PC....wtf?
Any ideas please!!! ?? THank you!
USB Ports
Just out of curiosity, have you tried a different usb port? Sometimes (and I think it's windows fault) I can use something on a certain port for months, then it will stop working, changing ports fixes it, then when / if that port stops working i'll switch back to the first port I started with... rinse / repeat.
Remember the old Nintendo Carts, when they would get dusty, they wouldnt work until you cleaned them? Could be the same thing, issue with the port, dust, or just going bad.
It could either be a driver issue / and or the actual port. Esp if it's an older usb 1.1 spec port.
I am running OnlyOne, and it's running fine here as far as computer seeing it / charging. I don't think you would get 2 phones that are defective back to back, Check your computer first, especially if it consistently will charge with the AC adapter and not the computer.

Ouch..... Sorry Bud........
I hope you still have insurance on your phone and I would put it back to stock and see if that works out for you buddy.
If you have access to another phone , try to download seraphim a great from and put it on there and flash it. Inside of the newest seraphim there is a USB storage mount option which should fix your problem. I hope this will fix the problem

Doesn't sound like a ROM issue or one that requires a different ROM to be installed just because it contains a USB selection. To me it sounds like you have a bad cable or a few bad cables. I would try a new micro usb cable. I have had that issue happen a few times with quite a few phones. Cables that just don't click when inserted don't always make the proper contacts. And owning another cable can't hurt, just make sure it is a good brand.

I tried reverting back to a Gingergbread rom, tried re flashing a few different roms, no luck. Tried a few different usb plugs from different phones... how can you mess up a micro USB just from flashing... makes no sense.
Idk about the charging part, but i had the same issue with pc not recognizing my phone after i flashed new ROM on it and could not share files and what not i found a solution for that try this. Make sure phone is unpluggdd from pc. Go to settings>Wireless and network>USB utilities> connect storage to pc then it will tell u to plug your phone, do so. And phone should prompt you with the normal USB storage click it and your good to go.

I am trying to flash my vibrant to stock, but my laptop says usb unrecognized.This causes Odin not to detect my vibrant in download mode. I have downloaded all drivers including nexus drivers, but still same error usb unrecognized. I have then start on switching data cables including the stock data cables but the errors remain the same. I have tried on different computers and different windows, nothing working its the same errors on all computers. I have messed up by formatting everything in the Vibrant, now it boot loops to Vibrant logo. I can get into download mode normal but I cant get into CWM or any recovery mode, its probably because I have formatted the whole phone. When the phone is off, I plugged in the micro USB to the phone from the laptop, all it shows is the white lines that are in circler motions and then freezes. Weird my laptop still detects it as a USB unrecognized. As the phone is plugged in to the laptop I try taking the battery out and my phone is still on with the frozen screen of those white lines in circler Motions. Can anyone help me, or at least explain to me what the problem may be? My thoughts is that it may be a hardware problem. If so can anyone provide me some schematics on the USB portion? I hope we can bring some light on this problem. Giving it to T-Mobile is not an option. I have dealt with many problems and solved it, but this is one problem that keeps me stomp in my own tracks.
You can give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he will be able to eat for a lifetime!
Ok, so I am in a similar situation as yourself. I bought another Vibrant that was stuck on the bootloader screen. I gets into DL mode just fine, however Odin doesn't recognize it. I have uninstalled, reinstalled the drivers, used Nexus S and GNex drivers, 4 cords and 3ports and still no joy. My daily driver Vibe is like a mid-town flasher and is seen all over the place. So this leads me to believe that it is not driver/SW related but rather HW realted for me.
I think that my next step is to clean the USB ports on the phone and see if that works. If not, then I'll have to probably crack her open and clean there. I have another laptop that is using WinXP, so I might give that a try since nothing Samsung has ever been installed on it.
Keep me up to date with your findings and I will do the same with mine. Clearly I am not a noob but now this is just making me mad. Why one phone works/is seen and not the other. Common denomitator has to be HW.

I agree with you, it may be a HW issue. I have tried connecting other phones to my laptop and it reads it just fine, but for my vibrant no success. Im gonna go ahead and actally open it up and check on some componets, i have a feeling that it may have burnt one of the componets due to over charge. Ill get back with you on my findings. Keep me updated on your progress.
Before you open her up, have you tried cleaning the metal contacts inside the USB on the phone? I am at work not, so I can't try anything, but I would check that before opening. Might just need to be cleaned.

yes i've tried. I used a Q-tip and some alcohol, still same problems.
Update: Nothing!! How about you?
I have tried un/reinstalling the drivers, Odin v1.8, 1.3 and 1.0, about 4-5 cables and all 3 ports. I have cleaned the USB with alcohol and at this point am at a slight loss. The phone boots into DLmode and charges fine, so I don't think it is a faulty USB port. I cannot get into any recovery or ROM boot. All I have is DLmode and the GB bl screen. No kernel or ROM splash.
Gasp! I'm in a similar boat guys. My phone charges fine, and all my drivers are working and up to date...I can get into DL mode and all that jazz...phone even boots up and works! (fortunately)...but no dice on it being recognized by my or any computer. Glancing into the port, it looks like there may be some corrosion on the left hand side of the port, or some sort of damage...can't really tell without a proper magnifying glass. but it does look damaged or at least irregular. I've been reading around, and cleaning sounds like a potential solution...I've no idea how you guys are cleaning with giant q-tips lol but hopefully I can figure that one out also and give it a whirl xD But in the mean time, I sure hope somebody can come to the rescue
I don't know if this can help you guys, but this is how i hard bricked my vibrant few months ago. I get into download mode trying to get back to stock from ICS and my computer didn't recognize my phone....after a couple of hours my phone was completely dead and after a few days of research i brought it back to life using the unbrickable mod. What i'm thinking now is to use the Unbrickable Resurrector but you will need Linux...it always worked for me but i'm not sure if you need the unbrickable mod already applied. However i think if you have Linux installed you can have a try. Here is the link for the unbrickable resurrector http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17135277#post17135277
My I777 has been acting up lately, and now I'm out of options and wondering what my next move should be.
For several days when I'd connect the phone to the PC via USB, it started saying "this device can perform faster when on a USB 2.0 port..." - which, my ports ARE 2.0.. transfers were taking forever. Now, anytime I plug it in it simply says "USB Device not recognized" - I've tried the OEM cable, the plethora of other cables, 4 different PC's... *ALL* have the same result.
My concern is with a custom ROM on it and no way to get any PC to recognize the phone to get it back to root - how should I proceed from here for warranty purposes? I've only had it since March - just wondering what's gonna happen at this point - or is this even fixable? All the threads I've seen say it needs replaced... but with no way to unroot, etc., I'm just unsure how this is gonna go.
Thanks for any advice.

You can always use Mobile Odin to flash back to stock since your on a custom ROM.

Absolutely NOT.
This is a situation that's been coming over a period of time, starting with the inability to see it as a USB 2.0 device when initially plugged in, and now has deteriorated to the point that it can't even be seen.

Yeah, I sure did - nothing. Even in recovery, it won't "mount" usb there either.
Samsung's have a crappy USB port. It fails sometimes. You have a hard time charging at all?
But like I stated above, even without a computer connection you can get Mobile Odin and flash back to stock, as long as your rooted.
I'm having this same issue. I just got the phone earlier this week and I am unable to get bit connected to my pc to root or Odin. I have installed and uninstalled Kies multiple times on two different computers, tries different ports, and checked if the cable worked by using another phone (PC recognized without an issue). I get the USB not recognized or the 2.0 USB message. If I enable debugging, I can connect regularly and transfer files through windows explorer. But if I use USB debugging off, then nothing will work. I've tried using odin and it will just get stuck at setup connection or cache.img and then I'd have to pull the device. I've tries updating through Kies when it shows the USB 2.0 message but once the S2 hits download mode then the computer stops recognizing it. I have also tried installing the i777 drovers on the Samsung website and its still a no go. Does anyone know how to fix this? Its not rooted so mobile Odin won't help me now.

Yes. USB cables go bad often, especially these crappy micro B connectors.

It is the OEM cable that came with my Samsung Infuse. It worked with the T989 3 days ago and it's not working with my i777. Its strange because I tried it with my infuse again and I am able to Odin just fine. Could it really be an issue with my USB or will it be a PCB issue? I would rather or not disassemble my phone if it is a PCB issue. Should be able to do a warranty exchange though.

I hate to break it to you brother but it's damn near impossible to determine what the actual culprit could be, your best best is to try each and every single different thing I've listed. The end result being changing the PCB which one, isn't that hard, and two, is very cheap the only problem is waiting for the board to come in the mail.

Its strange because when I enable USB debugging, I can get a "USB connection" on the phone and data transfers fine. But when I turn it off, I get a "MTP connection" and sometimes it'll connect (5% of the time) and allow me to transfer data. But when lies tries to update when that mtp connection is active, it'll hang when the phone goes into download mode. Did you have this same issue?

I f you're able to transfer files via mass storage with USB debugging enabled then you can (most likely) rule out hardware failure on your phone.
If anything this sounds like a driver issue on the cpmputer. Are you running windows? If so remove and reinstall the drivers for your phone.
Still think its hardware.
I can connect 1/100 of the times I'm plugged into a computer. Its not a driver issue because my girlfriend has an i777 as well and no problems for her connecting at all.
Its not ROM related because I have this problem with all ROMs.

Does that apply to ums as well? From his description he can connect in ums just fine. Its only mtp that's giving him problems. In his case, with the problem only being in one connection mode, it leads me to think drivers. In your case, tested against another s2 I'd say hardware.
Just tried using a Motorola cable and a third PC and my chances of connection increased to about 15-20%. Kies and Odin failed on me a few times just like I had described before. But eventually Odin was able to flash okay. Finally on ICS on my i777! I think I'll stay on stock since I'd rather not go USB and PC hunting to flash stock if anything goes wrong.

tested it on different computer still the same. phone hardware should not be the issue since i am able to use it in download mode and charge it using the charger. so hardware port cannot be the problem.

Would suggest you uninstall Kies if you have it then download the new version (Kies for non Android 4.3 or Kies 3 for Android 4.3) from here Kies this will re-install the new drivers, re-boot your PC then plug your phone into your PC and you should get the message installing drivers.
Don't let Kies run at the same time as Odin otherwise it wont work but I guess you probably know that.

Have you tried different USB ports on the PC, there have been reports before that for some reason the port people normally use stops working and by switching to another USB port it works
Forgot to say if not already tried, turn off the phone pull the battery leave for a minute or two, replace the battery and reboot then try to connect it.

Not having much luck are you, one last thing I have read before is using a pin or cocktail stick (you may need a magnifying glass as well) to gently clean the USB port on the phone and the cable, remove the battery first, but be careful you don't actually damage anything, that's why you need to be gentle with it.
Can you flash via ODIN successfully but phone not recognised by Windows??? Sounds like not all pins connecting properly. Clean connector VERY carefully...

Never actually had to do it, only read what others have done, maybe an old dry toothbrush would do it as ling as you remember the gentle bit, if the pin did help then this could solve the problem for you it may simply be dust or dirt on the connections.
Would do both the phone and the cable end, not easy but worth a try as its free.
Hello everyone, I recently got my hands on an old SGS2 I9100. When I got it I simply used Framaroot to root it because it wouldn't show up on any pc. It was on 4.1.2 if I remember correctly and I googled around a bit and nothing seemed to work so I thought why not. Everything was working fine, I flashed cwm through mobile odin too no problem. After a while I installed resurrection remix, it booted and worked just fine. Now here's the **** up.. My friend told me that I should try to flash twrp and see if my pc could recognize it through recovery and since twrp do not have an official i9100 version I got a unofficial one from god knows where. So I flashed it and now I'm stuck at samsung logo and can't access recovery mode. I can access bootloader though but no pc seems to be able to recognize it.
Worst case scenario, the port is broken. It barely charged because the port is worn out and I've tried cleaning it. I've also tried multiple cables and only one seems to work to get it to charge and I've tried connecting it to multiple pcs.
Any suggestions? The port should not be broken when I got it to charge right?
There are 4 connectors plus the shielding in that port......They control a number of different functions through different combinations of connection......just because 1 function/connection combination (charging) works, it is not an indication that *every* function/connection will work.
These ports DO wear out, and when they do, they show different symptoms.
The port is recognised as being a major weak point of any device using that type of connector.
I wrote a guide here on the S2 forum that shows/explains exactly how to replace that port.......

It's a fairly easy, reasonably cheap job to do......just read the first post IN FULL before you begin.
