Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy Mega 5.8 which i got about 7 months back. im on stock 4.2.2 rooted through odin and have deleted most of the samsung bloatwares ( and others which i dont really need). Phone seemed to work fine for about two months until three weeks ago while it was plugged up to my system, it suddenly rebooted and since then the laptop cant connect to it.
I cant return it to samsung for a fix since id need to reinstall stock firmware which involves connecting the phone to the laptop and odin is not detecting the device either. I've deleted touchwiz and a host of other apps so my phone doesnt look like the regular Samsung anymore.
A friend recommended doing a factory reset but i had a helluva time getting it to work cos there was no launcher attached ( since touchwiz has been deleted prior to the reset).
would have loved to return it to samsung but device status shows custom.:crying:
is there anyway i can get my darling device to connect to the laptop again? anyone out there with a similar problem or fix?
thanks

Right.. You are right.. I have seen this same problem. When i change my USB slot then it works again clearly.. I think it may be same access here..

Yeah,it might not detected sometimes from other usb slot. So you need to check other slot of usb.

Good news.. thanks y'all
Well.. By stroke of luck or just plain ingenuity.. Phone is back working...
What i did.
1. Factory reset.. Didnt work.
2. Changed different ports even usb cords (been using my blackberry ever since because its longer than the samsung ) samsung too didnt work
3. Read somewhere dat the internal port on the phone may be corroded so i Removed the battery cleaned it the internal usb port out with a needle, and brushed with toothpick (chew the end point till it becomes brush-like)
4. Applied nail polish to it using the toothpick in stage 3
5. Left it for about 5 mins to dry out
6. Replaced battery and later tried it out.
it worked.. But some times i need to remove and reinstert the cable again..
Restored stock apps and re rooted
N.b that was just the way i went about it.. Worked for me and hopefully urs too..
Thank u

Since 2 days i have this problem.
When i connect my phone to the adapter it takes several seconds before it actually charging. But when it's full and i dissconnect it from the adapter it just keeps saying that my battery is full and i have to remove the charger.
When i connect my phone to the computer its keeps saying that he doesn't recognize the usb connecter.
What i have tried so far.
- Trying different chargers/cables
- Trying to update software but this can't be done without cable @ me
- Trying to clean up de usb port in the phone
- Battery reset
I have searched whole google and this forum but couldn't find anything related to this. so sorry if it's a repost
First up, do a factory reset. Back your stuff up before, obviously.
What rom/kernel are you running ?

When i did the factory reset it went in a bootloop for some reason.
I am using 2.6.35.7 codeworkx clockworck. I have rooted the phone and put clockworck on it nothing more... and it always worked fine.
I noticed something new. When i put off my phone you see the battery and next to it you see a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark in it. After that it changes into to a temperature meter showing it's to hot but i allready checked it and it's only 37 degrees.
First of all try the most obvious method such as turning on USB debugging. If that doesnt work go to the method below:
There is no need to do a factory reset. Just reflash your rom or flash a new one but make sure you have done a backup of your files. It worked for me

Sounds like the battery and/or the usb/charging circuitry/components might be on the fritz.
Try Steve's suggestion first (re-flash your rom or another rom), if that doesn't work, try another battery. Or even another charger. Tho you said you're seeing problems when you hook it up to a PC via USB.
If you get the same result after re-flashing same/different rom & with a different battery it would probably be a hardware fault.
I'd flash stock first & try that before restoring any backup, that would give you an indication of whether its a hardware issue (particularly with a different battery).
Hey, This is my first post so hopefully i didnt pick the wrong section to write in
So here it is.. A while ago my phone started acting crazy.. voice command started up.. turned off, started up again.. MTP started ( like i was plugging in USB cable) on and off and on and off again.. This was after i had rooted my phone for the first time.. but i was on stock rom at that point when all happend..
Now when im trying to charge my phone it takes like 30-60 sec till it starts charging.. same when i unplug the phone, takes 30-60 seconds for the phone to realise that there is no cable connected to the phone..
Can't turn off the phone.. when i turn it off its black for a few seconds then the samsung logo pops up and the phone boots up again.. and some times when i turn off the phone the battery logo appears and it shows that the battery is over heated..
This is what i have tryed:
- Re flashing, alot of diffrent roms
- Factory reset
- Format System, sd card, data
- Flash back to stock rom
Thx / Wrix
I remember seeing this issue in a few threads last year. Check this thread out as it lokos to be the same issues they were having http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174291&page=6
It seems some had to return their device and others were able to get it working again by cleaning out the micro usb port with a toothbrush. Worth trying. If nothing works, maybe you will have to return it. Hopefully not though
Thx alot.. Will take a look at the link you posted and see if there is something i can do to fix this issue.. hopefully i wont have to send it in to repair cuz i have rooted it.. dunno if samsung can see that if i use USB Jig ? hopefully not but will try with toothbrush to see if it works!
Again thx alot for the advices
EDIT: Toothbrush didnt work at all ;(

Just make sure you reset the counter and you should be fin returning it.
Your device should still be under warranty. I'd wipe, flash the stock ROM that you had on it when you bought it and use the jig if you have one. Then see about getting it returned. Good luck!
alright so... i kinda screwed up the usb port on my beloved SGS2 few days back... and well it "kinda" work and "kinda" not.. sometime it detect its connected to computer.. and shows "USB cable connected" then sometime it wont detect no matter how many time i plug it in... so i'm planning to go to the reseller that i bought it from and see if they gona replace me with new one or send it to samsung to see if they gona fix it...
just a side note: if the fixing cost/the new phone cost doesnt go into warranty (water got into usb and broke it), my house insurance will cover the entire phone (confirmed)... so my problem isnt about that luckily
yes so.. i want to know what kind of requirement i need for warranty here i list what i did
1st Flashed stock rom with stock kernel (so yea its stock without root or any kind of custom)
2nd Reseted my custom binary (its been 0 for quite while now anyway...)
3rd Factory reseted (just in case it would magically start to work after this.. and to also ensure to samsung guys that i've tried everything within the warranty limit)
now question is.. did i miss something? i will be returning it thursday
ps. sry if there is incorrect grammar or anything... my english isnt perfect
I'd probably do it this way:-
1) Format cache, data, system, & sd card in CWRecovery.
2) Flash stock firmware
3) Use jig
They won't fix/replace it under warranty given you got water in the USB port (we went thru this last week if you recall). And how did you manage to flash a stock rom if your USB port is borked ? Anywho...
yes i remember mistah XD and it doesnt hurt to try does it? XD for the warranty i mean... and also i flashed it via mobile odin.. first downloaded latest stock rom via checkfrus downloader.. and then dropped it into dropbox from desktop.. downloaded it off from dropbox on android and then flash it via mobile odin done...
Good luck.
muhahahaha ;P got my SGS2 back today.. with 0 cost <3 got to love finnish customer service..
ps. no i didnt lie anything to the reseller.. told him i got it abit wet and it started to act...
i wiped everything including a factory reset then installed liquid rc8 i used correct one for my phone it rebooted but never booted up to the samsung logo doesnt seem to vibrate or anything when i press power wtf?
now when i plug it into pc it shows my external drive then it vanishes then re-appaears and tells me to format it but that doesnt work either
Put in download mode and Odin back to stock.
How full was your battery when you started? May have drained it

If you can get back into recovery mode, try reflashing the rom or flashing another rom. I've had cases where a rom just wouldn't work for me (I too, have the AT&T Note). Never had the patience to try to figure out why. I usually try to flash several times (making sure I do a factory wipe) but if it still didn't work, I would just flash another rom.
If you can't get into recovery mode, then you may need to flash a stock rom via ODIN (in download mode) and then start all over from scratch (root the phone, install CMW or TWRP,flash custom rom, etc.). Please search the forums for a stock rom and all the files / instructions on flashing via ODIN if you aren't already familiar with it.
Since your PC recognizes the phone to some degree (it at least recognizes that the phone was connected and interacts with the sd card), it sounds like you have a soft brick which is fixable via one of the methods above. If your phone was hard bricked, then the PC more than likely wouldn't recognize it at all, it would do absolutely nothing and you would basically have a paper weight. It doesn't sound like you have a hard brick.
If anyone else has more insight, please chime in. I'm definitely no expert here.
it wont even light up to samsung logo or even vibrate also the sd is recognised but it randomly connects and disconnects odin does not see phone

Perhaps your cable is defective. All of my cables eventually get to the point where I have to twist them and hold them a certain way to work. When that happens I know it's time to replace the cable. You may just need to use another cable.
no i tried with 2 differnt cables also battery was at like 99% when this happened also windows keeps finding my sd for a moment and then vanishes could this be stuck power button? if so i dont see how i didnt touch power button when it rebooted

hi guys
so my galaxy s3 has had a faulty conector since ive had it. but yesterday when i went to flash stock rom as i wanted to clean the device etc it stopped half way through odin process and now it doesnt boot obvieously. the thing is now the phone conector seems to be completely broken as it wont connect for more than maybe 10 seconds at the start but now nothing at all but it does still charge. ive bought an original samsung cable brand new and still same result.
any ideas of a way to get my phone working again? it seems odin wiped my recovery in 10 seconds which sucks....
anything anyone can recommend i try?

Can you still get into download mode and does odin recognize it?
If not you will very likely need a jtag or take it into a service center.
Try replacing the usb port first, flashing anything on a phone with a broken port can corrupt the partition -which is what happened to you.

If the phone boots you could use mobile Odin but in your case,repairing the connector is the right way.
