So I was just going to change ROMs, and I realized that my DNA won't connect to a PC over USB anymore. I always plug it in at work via USB to a laptop to charge, and it would normally open the autostart/autorun window, which I would always notice because I'll switch computers often. Last week the autostart dialog stopped opening, but I was distracted with work being busy and it just went to the back of my mind.
Until now.
I've checked all the normal trivial stuff... trying different cables, using different USB ports, and obviously different PCs. It also won't be detected by ADB. Yes, developer options are enabled, yes USB debugging is enabled. It sounds to me like its the port on the phone, so then I'm screwed, but I was just wondering if anyone knows any tricks I can try.
Are you running a custom rom? Go to settings>storage>storage settings>USB computer connection and make sure the connect as Media device (MTP) is checked. Same thing happened to me and some how this setting was unchecked

You going to laugh at me but download PDAnet and it will redownload the correct drivers.

Have you found a solution for this? I am in the exact same situation with no solutions working for me. I tried PDAnet and many other things. The device is unrecognized by my computer completely not even showing up in the device manager. This likely is a hardware issue, but I'm rooted with no way to return to stock because I can't connect to my computer which makes me unable to use my warranty for repair. This is a really unfortunate pickle as I'm not sure if I can even do anything at this point. I have found online that people with a hardware issue with connecting to their computers also had the slow charge notification when charging either through the computer or the power adapter. Mine does not display slow charge which gives me some hope that it is somehow a driver issue. Do you get the slow charge notification at all?
EDIT: It's a hardware issue for me. Noticed my charger is sticking slightly more out than usual, and it just can't get the right connection

Hey guys, just figured I'd follow up. Sorry for the delay, XDA email notifications somehow ended up in my spam folder.
Anyway, for me it just turned out to be that all the cables I tried were bad. Pretty low odds, I'm actually surprised both my cable at home and the one at work were all bad. Sure enough I tried it with a coworker's cable and it worked fine.

Hey, I was just wondering if it's possible that the stock charging cable is able to charge my phone, but has malfunctioned somehow to not let it be recognized by my computer?
Basically I've been trying to get my computer to recognize my phone for a week now.
I'm no expert with this stuff but I'm certainly not a noob. I've been rooted and have been flashing ROMs for months now and have odin'd many times before. Just one day none of my USB drives would work. I formatted my computer, reinstalled my drivers and i know the USB ports are functioning because they recognize other devices.
But when i plug my phone in i get "unknown device" where it used to recognize it once i had the samsung drivers installed. I've tested on a brand new computer, with samsung mobile drivers installed and same result, "unknown device"
Is Heimdall a viable option at this point? I've never tried that program but I have nothing to lose i guess, but someone can save me some precious time if they know it's not going to work, please let me know
P.S. this isn't an issue of not having debugging on or my computer seeing it as a cd-rom, the computer won't recognize the device with samsung drivers installed.
Have you not tried another cable?

unfortunately, i don't have any other microUSB - usb cable to test out. I was just going to buy a new charger since the Verizon store is down the street from me, but I figured I'd ask since I won't be able to go until tomorrow morning
From DroidXcon at AC:
"uninstall the drivers, reboot your computer, reinstall drivers, pull out the battery of your phone connect it, put your phone into download mode and let the composite drivers install...then unplug pop your battery back in , turn on the phone, throw it in debugging mode. and connect and see if it configures"
Thanks Kevin, I've actually been tracking that thread since yesterday and the issue for me is that the composite drivers won't install on its own which is really strange to me as i've not had this problem in the past. I also tried doing everything from scratch on a new computer and got the same results... anyway, i didn't get around to it but will try heimdall tonight and see if anything changes

Mine didn't install on there own either. Win 7 64 bit. Just download them. I just Googler the drivers and found them in a couple minutes no high deal at all.

Thanks for the suggestion. I got it figured out. Turned out to be my charging cable. It charges my phone but won't let my pc recognize it as a device. I tested it out with a coworker's captivate charger and it worked
Some micro USB cables are manufactured only to charge. The rocketfish brand cables from Best Buy, for example. It seems to me the manufactures simply leave out a connecter on one or both ends of the cable, or leave out one of the lines all together. Try another cable.
I just saw your using a stock cable... I'll post anyway in case this helps someone else. Good luck!
My SGS2 keeps disconnecting and reconnecting the usb with my computer. This is hapenning for quite a long time now.
I keep hearing the windows connect/disconnect usb sound when my phone is plugged in, making it unable to recognize the device.
Today, it finally didn't had this problem for a while, so I took my chance to get back to stock ROM (because I need to send my phone to Samsung for camera problems). So I flashed stock ROM with ODIN, but I encoutered a problem: it didn't get further than the boot animation.
When I tried to reflash, ODIN didn't recognize my phone anymore, just like before. When I plug in my SGS2 to my computer while on download mode, it just keeps reconecting the USB, so the device can't be installed.
Tried a different computer. It kept being connected, but that comp sucks and it couldn't recognize my phone at all. My own computer also has problems recognizing the SGS2, but also has the problem that it can't stay connected.
Things to know:
- Other usb devices do stay connected, it's just for my sgs2
- I've tried different USB hubs etc., reinstalling Kies, uninstalling drivers.
- It does keep charging the phone, even when the computer makes the disconnect sound. That makes it even weirder!
Basically I'm seriously out of clues how to revive my phone
I don't want to send it to Samsung, scared of losing warranty.
You guys are my last hope!
to start the ball rolling, YOU SHOULDNT BE connecting sgs2 to a HUB, thats probably the fault, second, have you tried a different usb lead or a different computer with the same lead to either verify if its the phone or lead at fault??
No one on here can answer your question because it sounds like a hardware issue, wire or hub or charger port, but it is an elimination process and only you can do that.
If you try everything and still get no joy, restore your pc to an earlier point, uninstall the samsung drivers and re-install them etc etc.
I very much doubt its a software problem tho, looking at what you tried already, lots of people use hubs, if youre flashing roms and your connected to a hub then ya play a dangerous game and risk soft bricking your phone, most of the time odin wont recognise your phone through a hub, same if ya usb lead is too long, itll charge but no data. always connect it directly to the pc usb 2 port.

Ow, I think I used the wrong word. I meant to say port instead of hub.. Translation fail there. So that's not the problem, I've put the cable directly into the USB port.
I think you are right about the hardware problem. I'm just not sure where the problem is. I only have one cable, so I can't test that atm. But like I said, the connection problem does NOT occur on another computer. It keeps the device connected (as an unknown device though).
So it's weird: it looks like a SGS2 hardware problem, but on the same time it has a different problem on a different computer. It's really confusing...
Thanks for the quick reply by the way

Then please explain me how I could ever do that when there is no working ROM on my phone. I'm stuck on the 'restore with Kies' screen, like I told in my post (yes, still). And how it will ever work with ODIN? It won't...
Now not any computer is connecting with my sgs2. It just doesn't show anything (not even unknown device). I'm going to try to buy a new cable. Is it needed to buy a Samsung cable? Because it's harder to find than just a regular usb to micro usb cable (and more expensive ). This is my last hope. When it's not working, I need to send it to Samsung.

You need to replace your usb board within your phone. New part can be found on ebay for around $10. It's a really simple task replacing it. No soldering or anything.
It's been well documented on these boards.

I can't get my phone detected via usb from any device or computer. Weather in android, recovery or bootloader. The phone still charges fine however. The phone also will think there is a USB cable plugged into it when there isn't.
I don't know what to do to fix this, or if its even fixable. I've tried four computers and 3 different cables, along with removing and installing the drivers multiple times. Changing roms/kernels doesn't fix it, obviously its an issue beyond that since fastboot won't detect USB either.
Any help would be appreciated!
Get some canned air and blow it into the slot for a while. It sounds like there may be something conductive stuck in there. Maybe get a magnifying glass and look in there to see if you can see anything.
Tried blowing with compressed air and got my eyes all up inside there and nothing
Any luck with this issue? I'm experiencing the same problem
sounds like a piece got loose inside the phone and only the power parts of the usb slot are still attached which is weird im guessing just hardware failure.

Damn, was hoping i bricked the USB like I've read about the HTC Desire, was hoping to somehow reload/reinstall the driver.. I guess off to HTC to see what they can do.
My i777 will not connect to my pc through usb, the pc doesnt even charge it!! The usb cord will charge when its plugged into a wall charger though. I know its not my cord because ive used different usb cords and they dont work. And its not my computer because I can connect other devices to it via usb. My phone is rooted and on stock Samsung jellybean firmware. Can some one please help me !
Did you even try to search? Plug your first sentence into the search all forums bar and see what comes up. There are so many threads on here about that problem. Give the search bar a try before creating a thread. That is on of the rules here.

By your PC not charging your phone it is very hard to tell. Lets start with the basics. You have tried different usb ports on the computer. You have turned on USB debugging on your phone. You have tried different USB cables. You have uninstalled and re-installed kies on you computer. You have done what you could to clean the usb port on your phone. You have tried to connect your phone to the pc in download mode. That about exhausts my limited knowledge. Sounds like you have been pretty busy over the past couple of hours to get all that done. I am not sure what to tell you besides it sounds to me like your phones usb port is toast. Maybe you can do some searching and see if you can find some one that can repair that bad boy for you.

A - 85%. The usb cable is not compatible or is defective. I have 5+ microUSB cables that are known good charging cables but they don't work for data. They are like that by design as they are for charging only, they come with things that will never use a data connection, such as a battery powered keyboard w/rechargeable internal battery or bluetooth headphones that only adopt the microUSB connection for power but look just like every other microUSB cable.
B - 10%. No drivers installed*. Have you checked down by the clock in windows to see if its trying to install drivers? If its an older PC where Windows Updates are disabled and the pc is set to not look online for drivers, this is possible, but highly unlikely since it doesn't work on the MAC. Also, usb debugging isn't needed in most cases. Even with that disabled, you should still be able to see the watch and the 4 basic folders.
*in the highly unlikely event that you really do need windows drivers, download here.
C - 5%. Have you messed with the watch before? eg; rooting or anything like that? If so, its RARE but has happened where in 1/30 cases after trying to flash something or rooting that the watch becomes unresponsive to data on the usb connection. If thats the case, rebooting into recovery mode will very correct your issue.
There ya go..... in order of probability.
I also have quite a few of cables. The ones that I use for data I have them marked. As stated by cipher.....cables might look the same but don't function the same.
