Hi.
My phone is a GT-I9100, who is stuck in 2.3.3, but the USB doesn't work : when I plug him to my computer, it's charge but the PC doesn't see him (no error message or anything like that, and invisible in device manager). The phone open MTP application, and "connected" appear, but it does nothing. If I try to use the mobile as mass storage (with USB menu or USB debugg), the mobile just charge.
When I search an Update with OTA, the mobile doesn't find any update.
So I need help, I tried change cable, PC, reboot, *#7284#, desinstall-reinstall drivers/Kies, plug in a Live-CD of Debian, clean the micro-usb port with alcohol and brush... I hope nothing of this port for now.
But I don't want to be blocked in this obsolete version and I searched for tricks to root or flash the phone without using the USB port, and I found two things :
- A file which can be flashed in stock Recovery, but ICS only
- Gingerbreak. I tried and it did no work.
Please, anyone's got an idea ? Or a nice developer can create a flashable by stock recovery to unlock this situation ?
Thank you ! (Forgive me if I made some mistakes, it's not my mother tongue)
Please :/
Need some help, Please !

I don't think there is anything like that for our device.
however, If you want to root your gingerbread device without flashing kernel but with PC usb connection (yes, try another PC), I can help you
Wouldnt life be a hell of a lot easier if you spent £7 on a new usb/mic board.Youve had a month to save for one lol.

Love how you have specified the gender of your phone
If it were that simple, the problem would have been solved: I tried three different pc, with 3 different cables, the problem is well at the USB connector of the mobile phone to be damaged. I have root and flashed my Galaxy Spica, Teos, Nexus, and an Xperia Arc and Ray owned by friends, so I have some basics and I already know how to flash with Odin, but thank you for help that you propose.
@ Theunderling: You mean this stuff? cellphone-repair-shop.com/product_images/w/159/GH59-10949A__27631_zoom.jpg I did not need a soldering iron, or such material to change it?
Thank you everybody
You can see a breakdown of the phone by diwnloading a service manual off the samsung site.
You dont need a soldering iron to change the usb board.

Well, I ordered and replaced the port, it has not changed anything, I've been seeing a repairman, he again changed the port, and still nothing. Now I'm going to buy a rope and a stool.
Im beginning to think it must be some small component on the motherboard that must be faulty.Was helping a guy on here the other day and he tried 3 of the usb boards and it still didnt work properly.
sent from my gt-i9100 since I cant be arsed using my laptop
So, what can I do ?
I have been in vacation for a week and when today i turned back home i wish to transfer the photos into the PC, but my phone can't be recognized by my pc or other's. Even in download mode, MTP, USB mass storage...please give me some help!
I'm on Cyanogen Mod 9.1.0 with stock kernel!
Sorry for the bad english friends!
Does the phone charge when connected via USB?
If not: your USB connector might be broken.
If yes: did you change anything on the phone since it last worked?
The phone charge with USB cable and even with the original charger.
The connector is working with other phones. I thing something is broken...not software issue i think.

try cleaning the microusb port of your phone with tooth brush
Might be silly, but have you installed the driver for the phone? Try reinstalling them by installing Kies.

I will try this, i have also tried a "electric contact cleaner" in spray, but no way.
The only way is to send it to Samsung, but i'm on CM 9 and since the phone is not recognized in download mode, i should flash the original firmware with mobile odin, am i right? It will be all right for the warranty?

Try any of these combinations:
1. Ensure you have kies is up to date.
2. In Device Manager - uninstall driver (!) & then reinstall.
3. In Control Panel - click on troubleshoot, hardware and sound, configure a device.
Option 2 worked for me.

Well, I have this experience while flashing my friend's phone and here what I've done:
-reboot my computer
-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.
-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)
-got few files in that folder. Hope you know their function. Or you can ask here.
Hope this helps.
edit: you also can try to plug into different usb port that have different usb controller

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one
I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%
A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:
I already uninstall all usb driver , and install back, it still cant work. my hf will restart every 5 sec. that why i cant connect properly. any suggestion ?

Talk to Samsung not us.
Next time do some research into your model and info on how to flash it properley before jumping in and screwing your device up.

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.

My brother has given me his old Galaxy S3 phone, which is great, but.... the mini USB port is broken! I have to recharge the battery externally (will be buying a spare battery and external charger soon!)
I've managed to unlock it OK, but I like to root and add new ROMs and generally mess with my phones. I've had a dig around and the only rooting etc instructions I've found involve connecting to your PC. The USB is completely dead, I can't use it for charging or connecting to the PC.
Is there a way round this? Presumably once I am rooted and have CWM I can flash ROMs away to my hearts content IF I can get over this hurdle.
Any pointers much appreciated

(PS - anyone know how easy it is to replace the mini USB port??!)

Maybe just borrow other USB? Or why did your brother give you his S3,maybe he bought a new phone,so use his USB.
Btw,as I know USB's aren't expensive. Just buy new one yourself.

I think he means that the usb port on his device is broken, not the cable or charger, so he can't connect it to the pc to flash stuff.
I think you may be out of luck unless the rom is that old one that has the exynos exploit.

thanks guys. Will see how to move this to correct forum! (previous recent phones have been Chinese imports, I'm not used to multiple sub forums for just one phone!)
The Rom is 4.1.2 if that helps?

Try this, the app ckecks if device is exploitable and i think it can root. If you can root you can use mobile odin to flash a custom recovery then you can flash anything or keep using mobile odin to flash stuff.

Thanks for the pointer Kadopt. Sadly when i click on "Root device" it says "FAILURE: Could not root device"

Tried all the Famaroots, thanks for the thought. My baseband is i9300xxella which seems to be an up to date-ish one unfortunately
You could replace the motherboard but that isn't cheap. I haven't done it myself but I believe there are ways of rooting without a PC if you have an older firmware

Hi, I have asked this question few months ago but i couldn't get the answer and also, somehow I couldn't login so I have made the account again and I have been searching around to find out the answer for my problem but I couldn't
I have few questions/issues.
I have Galaxy S3 (GT-9300). I have brought in it New Zealand but it was unlocked phone. So when I did was installing the omega rom, I found out that the rom it had was the rom from one of the europe countries (I can't remember)
I was wondering if I can install any GT-9300 stock rom to get back to stock rom phone or do I somehow have to find out which stock rom it had before?
The other question is that I was trying to reinstall and update the omega rom from the scratch by going to stock rom then installing the latest omega rom. But my phone somehow won't connect to the PC, it charges properly and I know its not the computer or cable 's problem. I have searched and searched on google but couldn't find any solution to resolve that. (Tried different versions of Kies, tried removing everything turning off the phone and restarting, tried to changed to tfs(?) mode and other stuff)
Because of that, I can't use Odin to change Roms or anything. Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem or changing Roms without connecting to the computer?
Currently, I have Omega v54.
Thank you so much
Go read the sticky thread in general forum, how to return to stock.
You can use any firmware for the i9300 but best is the latest for your country.
Sorry but the main problem is that my phone is not getting recognized by the computer so i cant use Odin to do that. Please read the whole contents
Try different versions of drivers.
Sent from my GT-I9300
What do you mean by different drivers?
I have tried all the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 slots on my pc
but no luck.
The message i am getting is ' USB Device Not Recognized' 'One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message'
You have skipped several steps in the learning process. Go read the sticky thread in general forum, you'll need the correct Samsung drivers to connect your pc with Odin.
I did that while ago, and did that again this morning. uninstalled kies, installed latest Samsung USB driver. but exactly same as before.
same usb error message. and on the device manager, it shows up as unknown device.
another thing I found is that on *#7284# (Service mode) I can only find UART : MODEM, PDA USB: MODEM, PDA. (I have tried this with USB debug mode)
Kies stops Odin from working
Sorry I think you are keep saying the same thing but I DO NOT HAVE Kies. didn't have it for at least 4 months now.
and its the problem with connection to the PC more than going back to stock rom.
Need to resolve the connection problem first to do the Odin step.
please read the messages properly before reply.

Only thing I did is opening the phone folder on the computer to see if I can actually see the files. I am not sure why. I have tried to uninstall and install again. but this time not working at all

Then it's something wrong either with usb cable,usb port(on Pc) or ,most likely,micro usb on your phone.
When you insert usb cable into micro usb port,try jerking it up and down,left and right but gently and listen will it make connection for a second,at least.
