I guess it may be faulty driver but then it should charge and if the usb port was faulty other devices should have stopped working

[Q] USB Problem

Hey!
I recently Rooted my Galaxy SII, I'm running 2.3.4 but recently my device wont connect Via USB to my Window's 7 Laptop, I get the Connected sound effect on the Laptop and it Disconnects 2 seconds afterwards, I don't have enough time to install drivers or anything like that before the phone actually Disconnects again, Anyone have the same problem or can help? Its really Pissing me off
As always first is to clean the usb port .
Second is to use Samsung cable .
Third is to only connect to a motherboard port .
Fourth make sure that Kies or the usb drivers are installed first try a rinstall .

lack of information so a guess says dirty faulty phone usb port wrong PC usb port cable not Samsung or faulty no drivers or faulty drivers .
Phone damaged by wrong firmware .

Use toothbrush and a bit of pure alcohol to clean USB port.

If you have an external micro sd card, memory card reader, mobile Odin and a stock firmware, you can solve your problem

Unkown device is a driver problem possible due to a damaged usb port or damaged phone .
As you have tried all then its a service repair .

Atleast 1000 people have/had this problem, they all sent it to service repair?

No they all tried the fixes that have been posted multiple times .
You say you tried EVERY solution = no solutions left .
Drivers
USB Port
Mainboard USB connection
Cable .
Different computer .
Dirt in USB port .
What is left is as said usb damaged send to service or replace it yourself .
Firmware faulty factory reset flash stock firmware or send to a service centre .
Phone main-board damage service centre .
You could always ask these many people for an alternative .

Is possible install a custom ROM from stock recovery?

Hi, my S3 I9300 has brocken USB port, can charge but PC won't detect it and when I put it in Download mode Odin does not see it neither (PC does detect my S2 on sync and Download mode).
It has stock 4.1.2, unrooted, is there any method to install/upgrade to a different ROM via stock recovery? maybe a modded stock ROM to flash from the SDCard? maybe a modded OTA update ROM?
Thanks in advance
Help need to find the thread : Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Stock recovery can not flash custom rom!
What is the problem with usb?
Drivers are installed?
USB debugging turned on?

AFAIK you can't so you might wanna check your drivers to get the download mode working.

Hi, I've double check/install the drivers and cables, the PC Odin detects my S2 I727 and T989 but not this I9300 (tried Debugg ON and OFF), I think the I9300's USB port is broken, it can charge but not sync.
Accepting the possibility that your USB port is damaged, is there any reason you can't use mobile odin?

ROOT is required to use Mobile Odin!

If you can charge but not sync, then it's time to get the good news: get a new USB cable to work with and you'll be fine. I also had this problem and with a new cable, odin was able to recognize my sgs3. Good luck!

Any site to get a working cable? I tested Samsung U6 cable, Motorola cable and some other cables, all detect my S2 (T989, i727) but not this S3.(i9300).
So if it charges it must detect a S3 in download mode? or is possible that it does not detect download mode even if it charges?
have you tried different USB ports on pc, As well as different cables?
Go to service and change charging port module from your phone..

I had the same thing with my i9300 i.e. charging is fine however no sync and I detected it just 1 day after my warranty had expired. Anyway what I did was to clean the USB port to get it working back. Here's what I did, First remove the battery from the phone. Now put a fine awl pin in the USB port to remove all the lint from it. While putting it there make sure there is no/minimal contact of pin with the circuit (which act as USB jack) in the port.
Next i put some acetone on cotton and forced it inside usb port with the pin and make sort of wiping motion of cotton with pin to clean the circuit board. After that I take another piece of cotton and put WD40 on it and do the same thing as above. The Next thing, put the battery back and the USB port is working like a charm
Needless to say, if you do decide to follow my method for cleaning the port do it at your own risk. There is always the risk of damaging the phone further when you do such kind of things.
Thanks to all, the issue was: loosen port, port replaced now I got it rooted using the same PC with same USB cables I used for my S2.
Who invented this weak usb port???
