Hi guys,
I'm in India and I have a Galaxy S II GT-I9100G (with a TI OMAP SoC) model phone. I've recently purchased a USB OTG cable from eBay for about Rs.360. However when I tested this cable with my phone, it doesn't even detect it. No message of any kind on the notification bar.
I tried the same cable with my friend's phone which is a Galaxy S II GT-I9100 (original model with Exynos SoC) and it worked absolutely fine.
Can anyone tell me what is missing in my phone that it is not working. Is this the case only with me or others having I9100G faced similar issues? If so, did any one find a solution for this. This is a very good feature to connect pendrives to the phone directly to copy files. But it is not working for me.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Santhosh

Is the phone detectable by Kies? . have you updated firmware recently.Do a factory reset and try again.
Yes. i have recently updated from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 via OTA updates and ever since my phone is not detected by Kies. also when i connect my phone to my laptop, phone's built-in storage drive is not accessible as well.
I've fixed the 2nd issue (accessing USB storage) by dialling *#7284# and using the PhoneUtil feature. But Kies will not detect my phone yet and the OTG cable is not being detected. i've bought the cable only recently after the updated to 2.3.6 and so no idea if it would have worked before the update.
One last question. when i do a factory reset all the data is lost. So if I take a backup of all the apps and data before the reset and then use the data to restore everything after the reset, will the OTG cable not being detected problem also come back after the restore ?
I got my OTG cable today from ebay.plugged in my usb drive and it was detected instantly but contents were inaccessible.It was due to ntfs file system.After formatting with FAT32 I could use it normally.

Are you in 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 ?
I'm going to do factory reset now and will post the result after I test it post the rest.

Hi Santhosh, go ahead with factory reset from privacy menu after backing up data.It will solve all your problems with Kies and OTG.Nothing to loss if you back up the data.Mine also suffered usb problem after the update.After factory reset everything worked normally.Hope this helps

Lucky you. Everything worked for you after the factory reset. There is no use in my case. Mass storage and Kies interface is working perfectly. However, USB OTG cable is still not working. I do not understand where is the problem.
I too have same I9100G with 2.3.6 version as you but why is the OTG cable not working in mine is what i can't understand.
Try another pendrive or usb mouse/keyboard.Ensure cable is inserted properly.Is it beacuse of PhoneUtil procedure?
Bingo. Factory reset actually worked. Thanks mate.
Yesterday after the reset I was connecting the cable and then the pen drive but it didn't work. Today I tried connecting the pen drive to the cable first and then to the phone and it worked. USB keyboard is also working. Hurray!!!

Hi arpitnan,
Is your phone detectable on the pc via kies?
Try connecting the pendrive to the cable and then connect the cable to the phone. It doesn't work the other way.

So you proved the Galaxy S II is not compatible with USB On The Go
OTG function is absolute working on S2 i9100g
Hi all,
Don't worry if you are facing problem regarding the OTG cable not working on S2 G model because I have checked it. It is working very fine actually most of cheap type cable are not proper desingned that's why they are not working . Take the branded/Genuine S2 cable and see it.
I am using i9100G with my home made OTG cable the S2 G is very good phone.
A9 processor is up to the mark, Galaxy note has also A9 chip..............
Enjoy......................

Clearly he didn't read the whole thread. I've noticed he does that a lot.
My friend's got a Legend with a USB malfunction (which I'm supposed to repair ). I've gone through all the threads and posts, and I couldn't find anyone which had precisely my problem.
When the phone's switched on and connected to via a USB cable, it starts charging, and the pop-up to select Charging, Mount as disk drive, Sync etc comes up.
But on the computer, whether I try USB debugging, or Mount disk drive, or the others, it shows the error "USB Device not recognized". I've installed HTC Sync, and am able to connect other phones without any problem.
I tried connecting the USB in fastboot, but it doesn't detect it either (FASTBOOT doesn't change to FASTBOOT USB).
I just wanna confirm with experts if this' a problem with the hardware (Got a sample here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18420923&postcount=11) before I go to the service center.
Thanks
U might be using the wrong data cable. There are 2 different types, there is the old type that only has 4 connectors in the mini USB plug (phone end), the new ones have 5 connectors.
Another possibility is that the cable is simply just damaged.
I had the exact same issue with an external HDD that worked, then stopped then worked again then stopped, tried a new cable and worked without issue.

I'm leaning less to the hardware side.
I have had this problem before (not entirely identical) and after fruitless attempts in fixing I decided to reflash my rom and USB worked again.

Thanks for the reply guys Had to replace the USB port connector PCB.
Just for the info, I was not able to re-flash the ROM since the phone was S-ON and bootloader locked and couldn't get FASTBOOT USB to work.
USB Version...
Hey guys, long time reader thought I'd contribute my frustration to hopefully help someone in a similar situation.
I spent a few days wondering why I couldn't get any of this to work no matter what cable I tried. For some reason, my HTC One X didn't like dealing with fastboot through my computer's USB 3.0 slot. When I finally tried a 2.0 slot on the same machine, everything went through just fine...
Cheers!

Hi all,
Recently after flashing my S2 with aokp rom , i have no more acces to my phone as usb storage, it charges only and moreover i can no more have access to odin (it shows driver not found). I tried differenent solution like :
1- change cable (th same cable is ok for samsung mini)
2- hard reset
3-reinstalling drivers with kies and samsung drivers
4- going to drivers et uninstalling them (the pc dont show nothing at all like my phone its not plugged)
Somtimes it worked like 2 on 10 attempts but after 2 days no more
Also i noticed somthing in download mode it shows that i cant recognise the device, a bootloader problem maybe(correct me if i am wrong)
Thanks if you have already a problem like that , i googlied the problem but no one have a solution hhhhh
rethanks all
Try to check the advance settings in settings>storage

Download mode should work regardless off your rom type.
Try different USB port, or try different computer
U really should try to clean the Micro USB port in first place, i read a lot of cases that phone was not recognized or it just didnt appear to connect to computer just because the port was oxyded... after cleaning (maybe with a very little screw and cotton) try to connect, if it dont, try on another computer, if it still happens its a problem on ur phone, then u will need to flash something, but lets wait till u test all this first ! keep us informed !
Dont forget to try to borrow a usb cable from a friend ! Doenst matter if urs works on another phone...
Hi thanks , for testing another computer i have three at home , same problem.
For cleaning usb port , it is not dangerous?? do you know is there a clean way to do it.
PS: i ll try tonight cleaning it a little:fingers-crossed:
Unfortunately i have the EXACT same problem.. tried everything "changing storage, re installing drivers, cleaning the usb port, trying different pcs and cables". Nothing works :S .. it also works at random times and then stops. Really annoying.
Well i clenaed the usb port with a needle and cotton but no detection, but i noticed that if my phone is off he is detected as unkown device
@HiNd0rZ: did you noticed the same thing
Well maybe it's not a hardware problem, i found that bootloader is related to driver usb detection, a bootloader problem maybe (correct me if i am wrong ) hhh
I have the exact same problem, the only difference is my sgs is still not rooted or flashed,
the last thing I did is update from gb to ics
what I has tried is hard reset, clean the usb port and try with another pc (2 notebook, 1 pc) and with 3 different cable
still not recognized....
No it's starting to bother me , after i full charge it acts like it charges but it's not plugged i think my usb port is caput , i'll try to take it to someone no guaratantee to send it back
Well finally i changed the usb flex cable and it worked but be carefull at testing the phone when you send it to repair the usb flex cable have also the micro so ba aware at testing the phone
Thanks for all and good luck for others
Hello people,
i got a small problem. I just bought a sm-g925F and be very happy with it so far. Well the problem is, that i can't connect to the phone via USB to flash another FW because 6.0 isnt aviable for switzerland (AUT) now. For those who think they maybe got a solution: impossible. I already tried everything in every forum. I tried different cables, different PCs, download mode, usb debugging, different drivers, manual set drivers, exit silent mode, wipe device, apply a new usb port on the device (im not that shure if they really did it).
Win 10 gave me a message, that its unable to get informations about the connected hardware. For me there are two solutions: 1. Hardware device of the device core PCB, 2. the Firmware is broken somehow.
ANYWAY i dont want a solution for that. Im just ask if its possible to flash another firmware for example via Wireless Lan oder an SD Card, connected to the S6 via USB adapter.
I am thankful for every reply
Kind regards
Same problem here, USB was working 100% then I got the 6.0.1 beta and now I can't get USB at all.. Are you on the beta?
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Nope, i did a usual update to 5.1.1 when i got my phone.
if the device is still working...dial *#0808# and select MTP+ADB and try if u can flash the new FW you want to flash.
Mtp+adb was already selected
May i change these settings?
Get usb otg cable, and push firmware as adb or put zip rom on usb and browse the connected usb via otg in twrp

Hey guys i just got my S6 back!
I gave it to a samsung partner after some phones with the samsung service. They wasnt able to fix this problem. So i decided to give it away to repair it. It took 6 days(!!) whats amazingly fast and they installed a new main pcb, usb slot and another thing (dont know the part name) and it works fine now!
Thanks for all your help.

Q1:
Have you tried connecting your device to the computer via a USB cable? Can the computer recognize it?
If no, maybe there is problem with your USB port.
If yes, proceed to the next question.
Q2:
Have you tried changing the connectivity state for the USB port in Settings?
If not, try it out now.
If yes, report back and we'll discuss further more.
Use Es File Explorer... That's what I've been using
Sorry for late reply, I got it working, I replaced the usb cable, I think that the quality of the cable was too bad
