So I had CM 7.1 on my wife's fascinate for close to 7 months. I wanted to return it to stock. But I could not ever get the samsung drivers and Odin to see the phone. I have multiple OEM fascinate data cables. I've tried the whole schpeel on XP vista 32 & 64, win7 32 & 64, Win8 -64... All no go.
It leads me to believe it is the usb port on the device. I've adjusted it. Cleaned it. inspected it. Cleaned it some more...
The only thing I've been able to do is flash (via CWR) the Glitch Kernel, and flash CM 7.2
I'm happy with cm 7.2 w/exception of not having the play store on the device.
Is there nothing more I could do with this device to regain usb connectivity.
When I plug the cable, it charges the battery. that is about all.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

I don't know how to help you with Odin and the USB situation, but if you want the Google Apps (Play Store, Talk, etc.) you can get them onto your SD card with a microSD to regular SD adapter (probably really cheap on Amazon, and they come with most microSD cards in retail) and a card reader for your computer. Take out the microSD card from the phone, put it in the adapter, download the Gapps package from goo.im's gapps page, and put it on the SD card. Gapps is flashed with ClockWorkMod.
Actually, I had trouble getting my phone back to stock, and at the moment i am on stock 2.3.5, but I actually used a USB cable from a GS4 and it worked just fine (my OEM fascinate cable doesn't comply with Odin usually).

first off, wanted to say I've done a bit of searching, but never really found a workable solution to this problem...
I'm running windows 7 x64
At one point I had no problem finding my phones drives on my system. Everything was working fine. I went to format the SD card for ext4, but the windows program (blanking on name) wouldn't correctly recognize my SD card. I ended up using my ubuntu boot disk. However during all that my system somehow got completely screwed. I can't get the phones drives to appear in windows.
I have all the drivers for my vibrant installed on my laptop, but when i plug the phone in the drives don't appear. In device manager it shows two new disk drives (samsung sgh-t959 card usb device and samsung sgh-t959 usb device) without any problems when it's plugged in.
Odin recognizes the phone in DL mode without a problem, and I've flashed to stock a few times through it, as well as flashing jac's kernel. My desktop recognizes the phone, but I'm rarely home and would like to use my laptop to put mods for clockworkmod on my phone, as it's a lot easier to use than odin.
I've reinstalled more than a few times and it's always the same, drivers show up and work, drives dont.
Does anyone know how to get this working again?
Okay I have a serious problem with my SGS2... It simply refuses to be connected with the PC via a USB cable, not in Kies mode, nor in development mode... I need to fix this ASAP because there's files stored on the internal SD card that I need to access.
Basic Info that might help:
My phone is rooted, has ClockworkmodRecovery.
Running CheckROM RevoHD v4
Using Speedmod Kernel K18
I doubt however that it has anything to do with my ROM or Kernel or the fact that the phone is rooted, it's been working fine for ages and now all of the sudden it falls flat... When I plug in the phone, it starts charging and makes a sound, so it is connected. Then Windows gives me an error. I took a screenshot of it and attached it.
This is on Windows XP but the exact same message pops up in Windows 7 on two different PC's. I'm not sure I should take my phone in for repairs for two reasons:
My phone is rooted, and therefore the warranty is void...
But more importantly, they might wipe the internal SD card and there's very important files. I don't have access to a wifi network so I can't just transfer the files via Wifi. Emailing it to myself is my absolute last resort because the files are very big, it's gonna cost me a fortune. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated...
Samsung usb drivers is corect instal?
do you have kies installed?
Also, if you're desperate just download airDroid
Connect phone in USB mass storage mode to PC mainboard usb port only using Samsung cable only and wiggle the usb lead in the phones port see if it makes a connection as they can be a bit loose .

Background - I'm working on rooting my 32gb GS4 and was told to put some files on my SD card.
I got the Samsung class 10 64gb card and it the phone recognizes it fine
It did not come with an adapter for my PC, so I'm wondering how I put some files on the SD card for the phone
(like my license for titanium backup)
Do I do this through the phone when it is hooked up to my PC? (I did not see the SD card when it opened the phone as a folder)
Do I need an adapter for the microSD card? I have an old adapter for a 1gb card I got like 7 years ago, but will that even work?
Thank you for your help and suggestions.

That white cord you use to charge your phone . . that is used to transfer data to your phone too. There should be no problem seeing both internal and sdcard, at least I never have. But I installed the Samsung drivers like right away, so maybe that is why though I doubt it.

OK, I'll try installing the updated drivers and check back.
[note Windows 8] What happened when I plugged the phone in it says it can update the phone or I can view it as a folder. I viewed it as a folder then after about one minute the phone shuts down and it looses the folder. While I was in the folder, it did not show the SD card.
I did not update because I want to avoid the phone updating the ME7 like the plague.
Thank you very much for your help.

OK, I got the updated drivers but I didn't instal them yet. I had installed drivers previously.
I tried out putting it in developer mode, did not work. When I was reading the guides on the drivers and adb and fast tools, it suggested using download mode (slow downloads at the links included and I could only get one per hour). I tried booting it in download mode and then it still did not work. I shut it down and saw a weird thing I have not seen before with a power level meter (its OK). I powered it back up (while plugged in) and finally it recognized the device as a disk and I got the phone and the card. I put the files on it (it did not want to put the .txt file on there) and I unplugged it. It was odd because this time the phone shut down, but the drive stayed active.
I don't know if it will repeat or not, but I'm just glad I got those things on right away.
Thank you for your help, without reading about how to instal the drivers on a PC, I would not have figured it out. [even though I already installed the drivers]
Hey all, I know this has been asked a ton of times, but I couldn't find an answer for my problem... so maybe someone could help me out.
I'm having issues connecting my SG3 to my PCs.
I've tried with USB debugging on/off, restarting the phone, removing the battery, download mode and recovery mode. On three PCs, Windows 8 and 7.
The odd thing is that it does connect sometimes, maybe for 10 seconds and then I get the windows sound like the device was removed. Sometimes it only connects as charging, sometimes it doesn't even do that.
I'm wondering if the OS could be a problem (I bought it unlocked, looks like they rooted it and installed a custom OS though):
Model number:
GT-19300
Android version:
4.2.2
Baseband:
I9300XXUFME7
Kernel:
3.0.31-702147
[email protected] #1
Build:
JDQ39.I9300XXEFME7
I also have CWN Manager 3.5 (though it gives me an error that it should be used with CF-CWM 1.1 or higher, don't know my version)
SuperSu is also installed.
Is there any way to figure out what ROM was installed?
I tried changing my external SD to mass storage with SGS3 Easy UMS, but that didn't help either.
Also, tomorrow I'm going to see if I can test with a different cable (though I've been using the factory one).
Can I maybe change my OS without PC (I can send files over Airdroid)?
Any ideas?
Don't you have a sd card adapter to use to transfer files to your card from pc? If you do or can transfer files onto the sd card read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953 install recovery as per instructions in thread...Download a rom put it on your sd card and flash with PhilZ recovery (from the thread)..That was a quick guide!! Before flashing a rom read as much as you can on the subject to make sure you know what you are doing This might not cure your usb problem but it will install another rom if that's what you want

Ah, good idea. Yeah, I have an adapter. I'm going to do some reading before doing anything. Thanks.
Hey, just wanted to follow up that it was simply a bad cable. Odd because it came with the device, but a friend's cable worked right way with these drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
Anyways, thanks for the help.
I have a problem with detection of my ADATA S102 PRO 64 gb usb 3.0 flash drive formatted in NTFS. Device detects it very, very randomly and most often after a long period of time, or for the most of the time, never at all (5-10 minutes of being plugged in over OTG cable, but still nothing). The funny thing is, that s3 detects 4 gb flash drive (in fat32) and 320 gb hard drive (in NTFS) just fine. I wait 1 to 5 seconds and "Easy OTG Checker" program detects it (show its name) and "Nexus Photo Viewer" starts automatically as well. But my 64 gb flash drive almost never boots. I followed some troubleshoot guides, to insert OTG and USB into the device, and than re-boot it, while cable was still plugged in. Well, I tried this and USB was found. I though to myself "Thats it. I just have to reboot it when I want to use USB", but after second time, USB never mounted again. Even when there is no cable connected, "Easy OTG Checker" program still shows green check mark. It should show red cross, but it doesn't. It shows green check mark, and under it, it says: "Detected USB device: (Unknown), or "Detected USB device: Comneon HSIC Device".
You must be thinking now that this USB is not compatible with OTG standards. But you are wrong. My nexus 7 2013 detects this drive in less than 1 second. The moment I insert OTG cable into my nexus, "Easy OTG Checker" detects my USB drive as: "Detected USB device: ADATA ADATA USB Flash Drive", and when I remove it, it shows red cross as it should.
Now you must be thinking that my s3 can detect 4 gb drive and 320 gb drive, but for some bizarre reason, it cannot detect my 64 gb usb flash drive.
You are now 100 % confident to know what's wrong with my s3. It is USB 3.0 right? Both other drives are usb 2.0 so it is logical that my 64 gb drive wont work because it is 3.0 drive, and nexus 7 detects it because it is newer and better and stronger and bigger. Right? Right? But what if I told you that my friend has the same s3 as me, and when I tried the same OTG cable and the same flash drive, it detects my usb in a second. "Easy OTG Checker" detects it in a heartbeat.
I have read every possible thing related to this, every google post, every forum thread, every youtube video and I still didn't find anything related to this problem or even close to it. When I was on original samsung 4.1.2 rom, when I inserted my 64 gb usb flash drive, it showed red cross (not for 4 gb or 320 gb drive, only for 64 gb one). But when I installed cyanogenmod 4.4.2, SlimBean 4.3, and now stock samsung 4.3, it started this "Detected USB device: (Unknown)" or "Detected USB device: Comneon HSIC Device", even when no OTG cable was detected. But this message doesn't really mean anything, because it changes the moment I connect 4 gb or 320 gb drive (because it actually detects those USB's).
If anyone has any idea what could be wrong, please share it. Anything.
Thanks
tldr: My s3 detects 4 gb usb stick and 320 gb hard drive, but does not detect my 64 gb usb stick even though my nexus 7 2013 and my friends s3 detects it just fine.
update:
Today I tested this 64 gb stick on Sony Ericsson Live (yes, a phone from 2011), and "Easy OTG Checker" detected it. It said: "Detected USB device: ADATA ADATA USB Flash Drive" just like on my nexus 7. Device was on original sony rom 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.
I also tested it on nexus 5 with latest 4.4.2 kitkat and "Easy OTG Checker" said the same. It recognized the stick and mounted it perfectly.
Come on guys. No clue what could be wrong ? I know that it is a very strange case, but is there really nothing I can do to fix this? I don't know what to do anymore.
