[Q] Connection problems

So when i try to connect my galaxy to the computer nothing happens. i plug it in and it will start to charge but the phone will not have recognized the fact that it is connected to the computer and the computer doesnt even say "unrecognized device" how do i get the phone and omputer to recognize each other?
Did you install drivers for the phone? What operating system are you on?
yes i have. ive tried both osx and windows 7 and i have made sure to download teh drivers for each
Have you tried to connect it in usb debugging mode? (goto settings, applications, devlopment, check debugging mode?
(I dont know of it will help, but it would be the next thing I would try)
And try different usb ports. I have heard before that it can help.
yeah ive tried all of that it and still nothing, the switching usb ports too
Did you restart the computer after you installed drivers?
I would try installing Samsung Kies (from samsung website, GS2 support page). It also installs drivers and fixed a problem I had with connection.
If all these don't work, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry. I am sure someone here with more experience will be able to help.
yeah haha ive done all of these unfortunately and still nothing, thank you for you suggestions though
Kies had an update within the hour of New years (Pacific).
I discovered this morning that USB debugging mode MUST BE OFF for Kies to recognize and connect to the phone. I'm currently backing up my device in this mode right now.
"Kies Air" also works well, without having to worry about any USB issues.
"Droid Explorer" connects fine with debugging turned on. I have to wait until backup is complete to see if it works with debugging turned off.
I'm having USB port issues right now, so your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps.

[Q] PC wont recognize

my phone will not be recognized by the computer no matter what i do. It recognizes my friends i777 just fine in odin and as a storage device so it isnt my drivers. With mine it only makes the connection sound and says device drivers failed to install. I am running shostock 3, philz kernel and windows 7. I have tried everything and i am out of ideas, please help. thanks
Install Kies fresh, install android sdk and update it, reboot, try different usb ports.
Also u have to disable usb debugging and let it install those drivers, enable it and let it install those drivers and boot into download mode and do a regular reboot and let it install those. Always worked for me after following those steps.
If he's friends phones works. Then I think it's the phone usb. My own phone has the same issues but my usb on phone is messed up. Says charging while its not chargin and that happens I get the whole Device not recognize and fail to install. Try cleaning your usb with 99% Isopropyl of the instructions above this post don't work out.

Im stuck in a boot loop and the only thing i can access is download mode when i plug it in the computer. I can't access anything with the battery in, it just flashes the galaxy logo over and over. Thank you for you time in advance

USB device not recognized Win7/8, x64/x86, OSX

Hi All,
I am having an issue with my S4 that when I plug them into my computer I get USB device not recognized. I have searched the forum for the past 2 days trying all kinds of different solutions the major one was changing my USB/charging port board on my phone.
I need to ODIN my device to an MJ7 image. At first I got the error and did a factory reset through safestrap recover. Still got the error so I did an advance wipe of every option. (Looking back shouldnt have done that) That took away my recovery, but I can get to download mode, but its not detected by my computer to use ODIN with. So I am stuck without a custom recovery without the ability to boot into anything.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Reinstall/uninstall drivers, reinstall/uninstall kies.
2. Changed USB ports on computer.
3. Changed USB cables
4. Changed computers from Win 8 x64 to Win 7 x64.
5. Changed computer to my MACbook using Heimdall.
6. Changed USB charging port board on my phone.
7. Tried everything again. *Still doesnt detect it*
Any ideas that I havent done already, or how to fix? I do have nandroid backup of my ROM, but dont have a custom recovery to flash it.
Cant ODIN back cause its not detected by my computer. Thanks in advance for your help.
Is USB debugging still checked on phone? You must use the USB cable provided with phone...

Thanks for the reply. I cant select USB debug on my phone because my phone does not boot into the main OS, it is stuck at the samsung custom padlock screen. The USB debug option was on when the OS was installed though. My phone will only boot into stock recovery and into download mode. I tried to use the original USB cable provided with the phone as I read this could be the problem, but I tried 4 other ones too and phone still gets detected as "Unknown Device" in device manager, so ODIN cant even see phone in download mode to restore. I have tried to install KIES and the Samsung Mobile phone drivers 1.5.x.x drivers. Just read somewhere where someone had this issue and installed Samsung mobile phone driver v1-4-6-0 so I am trying that now.

Tried Samsung Mobile phone drivers version 1.4.6.0 and still the same outcome "USB device not recognized". I went down to a local electronics store and bought two different brand microUSB data cables. Tried them both along with my original one from samsung, and still the same result. Any other ideas??
Anyone else have any ideas? Thinking of sending it in and having it JTAG'ed back to stock. Can anyone recommend any services? Heard mobiletechvideos is good.

[Q] No Download Mode Detection Galaxy S3 I9300 O2 UK [FIXED]

Hi, first post here.. so Hi
I have an issue with my S3, i can't get my pc to detect it in download mode at all, no reaction from windows.. if didnt plug it in to the pc at all, it worked once, and it took me reinstalling drivers for hours to get it working, this is when i first rooted the phone using the cf-root method..
When i wanted to install a custom rom a few months ago i discovered it went back to not getting detected and has stayed that way
it's as if i've not connected it to the pc at all, i'm using a rear usb port, with the original cable, below is a short list of what i've tried
Tried 3 different cables
Used a brand new install of windows 7 with SP1
tried various Samsung ADB Drivers
Tried every single USB port, front and back on my pc
Used as many different USB Debugging options as possible
I noticed that when i turn on USB debugging after enabling developer mode, nothing changes on the pc, if i remember rightly my S2 made windows install the adb driver when i turned USB debugging on..
Any help is appreciated with this, never had any of this happen with my S2 lol :/ i've been messing around on and off the last few months with it, thankfully there's Mobile Odin and also Nandroid backups for me to fall back on
Pulling the battery with the cable plugged in while my S3 was in download mode is what fixed this for me...
With the usb cable plugged into the PC but NOT the phone, go into download mode.
Connect cable to the phone, then pull the battery out.
Once windows detects the phone and installs drivers it's safe to put the battery back in.
Phone will be detected by Odin/ CyanogenMod installer and so on.
Why in hell having the battery in stops windows detecting the phone in download mode is beyond me.. unless samsung did it on purpose? lol..
Installed CM 11 using the above method and it went perfectly, but i do have to use the above method whenever i want to flash something using my pc, so it's more of a work around than a fix..
Fix was found on YouTube of all places! hope this helps anyone else

[Q] Odin/ADB can not see my phone (HELP)

Hello All,
I've been reading posts from here for a long time but this is my first post.
I'm coming here as a last resort to save my Galaxy s2 (SGH-T989) which has a stock ROM.
Here's what happened.
I dropped my phone and then it got stuck in bootloop (it only boots until I see the "SAMSUNG" word animation and stops there).
At that point, ODIN 'sees' that there's a connected device; KIES keeps "connecting...." but can't actually connect; ADB does not show any connected device.
So, what I wanted to do was to factory "reset" the phone. The problem is I can't get the phone into Recovery mode. I believe it's because my volume down button was acting up when the phone was working. However, I can get to "Download Mode" using a USB Jig.
So, the next thing to do is to flash a new stock ROM. However, whenever I connect my phone when it's in "Download Mode", ODIN does not see it.
Yes, I've installed, re-installed, removed, re-installed all drivers and Kies and I've done that so many times you can't even believe it.
The problem is that the device driver "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" gives the following error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)", and I don't know why or how I can get rid of that. As mentioned above, I've tried all the device driver installation fixes but none has worked.
I mean, when the phone is not in Download Mode and I connect it to my PC, all device drivers are working fine with no error, but when it's in Download Mode, I get the error mentioned above "This Device cannot start.".
So, my questions:
1) Is there a way to get to Recovery Mode without using the button combinations? (The phone is in bootloop)
2) How can I fix the device driver error mentioned above to get ODIN to see my device?
3) Is there anything else I need to be doing?
This problem is really frustrating and I've been on it for more than 2 weeks and nothing has worked so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.
1. I think you have flashed an bad kernel if you cant get into recovery mode and i dont get it why your volume down acts like up?.
2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104 try to maybe also disable kies and try again.
3. Kies is on, adb doesnt work at samsung/download screen, try to reinstall samsung usb drivers again :/ yes I know but to be sure, disable driver signature or something like that if you are on windows 8.x, try another usb cable.
2weeks dont sound good. I hope these tips could help a bit but I still wonder why your phone got in bootloop when you dropped it !?!? What were you doing at that time and did the battery go out?

Thanks for the quick reply, wulsic.
1. No, I did not flash any kernel on this phone, everything on it is stock and was working just fine before it was dropped. I meant that the volume down was not working properly, not that it was acting like up.
2. I tried that but did not work
3. The drivers are working fine when the phone is not in Download Mode, it's only when it's in Download Mode that I get the error and I've tried re-installing drivers and everything, I think the problem is with the device itself not a driver problem.
