Test on another PC, and if that doesn't work - replace USB board - look for Keithross39's guide in General (search for 'replacing USB charger board'), has all the info you need to get this done yourself quickly/easily/cheaply (~US$10).

thanks for the reply sir... that's the only thing left out for me to do... to try my device to another desktop or loptop.. since i only have one desktop at home....
sir how can i tell whether my phone is a genuine one? can fake samsung devices be recognize by kies? on usb or wifi kies?
Verify that your phone is closed all applications (hold "home" key -
management activities - close applications) and move to the main screen.
Open the Samsung Kies program first and then connect the usb cable.
If the fault persists, uninstall the driver (Samsung Mobile Usb) from "Device Manager" on PC
and restart your computer.
Once you restart your PC, and open the Samsung Kies, plug the phone in order to re-install the
driver.
If still no go even restart the phone and try again
Try also another usb port and finally try another pc / laptop

Compare your phone to pics (Google search) of genuine devices, also Google & you'll find pics of fakes that you can also compare against (we've seen a few fakes on here over the past couple of yrs but not many, search for threads about this). Get an app like Android Hardware Info/similar (there are a number of similar apps on GP) which will give you the hardware details (CPU/GPU/etc) of your device & compare that to I9100 specs.
What makes you think it's fake ?
Cpu-z is a good app (free on google play) for see Android's details about hardware/software.
I've never heard of fake s2. It sounds so strange
Quiet, that you are neither the first nor the last to have problems with USB connectivity to PC. They are quite common problems.

coz there's a a lot of fake samsung products here in the Philippines... and by now it's really hard to identify which is original or fake.
those people who created those clone phones is getting better day by day. way cheaper but looks exactly the same.. i think they made
the hardware powered too, i've seen an s5 a clone one and it's rated by antutu with 30145 or something )
Don't forget to test different USB ports in your laptop or PC. Last resort could also be (if you're under windows, obviously) deleting the USB root controllers within the Control Panel > System > Device Admin and then reboot. In my experience, I don't need to reinstall Samsung's drivers and usualy recover the USB cable connection.

Looks like a drivers problem to me, if you didnt already, try to reinstall latest version of Kies (but dont forget to kill the kies process before using Odin if you plan to use it)

I tryed to reinstall Kies and drivers but with no succes.
I have this problem too and i resolve it by turn the plane mode on, don't know why but now all is ok ..
Try this.
1. Go to settings --> wireless and network --> usb --> usb mass storage
2. connect the usb cable
3. turn the usb mass storage (the android icon changes to orange now)
Go to my computer and you will now see phone and sd card storage as seperate....you should be able to copy fine now.

Hello!
I know this topic is old but I had the same problem with my Galaxy Note this morning and the solution was to disable USB Debugging.
Just to at least mark this topic as solved.

I had this problem with my Galaxy Note 4. I was using the original USB cable which was supplied with the phone. The error was showing up at random stages of the file transfer process - sometimes near completion, sometimes after a second or so; which indicates to me that it may be a hardware problem. So, I then tried using a different USB cable (cheapie from eBay), and it works fine! No brainer fix :silly::silly:
Same issue here - bad cable again in my case. Got a decent quality one and it works fine.
This worked on my Note 4 - Simple Settings -> Developer opions -> Check USB Debugging
Hello,
I just got my i9100 (and surprisingly not a G neither P..!) and i have few questions. It's running on ICS LPW firmware. First I'd like to know how i make sure this is a phone from my country and not another.
Next i'd like to know how to know how to be in UMS mode (mass storage transfer) when i connect the device to the computer, without having to go in settings, plus, usb, mass storage...
I've had a Galaxy Note before and when pluging USB, i just scroll down notifications, select usb and then just switch to UMS... Here selecting USB in the notification bring me to choose either MTP or some photo mode...
Last thing : Is there a way to make the i9100 able to power on some 2'5 external hard drive (i have Western Digital Passport) just like the Galaxy i9300 (SIII) can do? I just tried and nothing happened... Maybe with some other kernel..?
Thanks.

To connect in UMS mode,
Go to Settings > Wireless & Network > USB utilities and click the button > then (and ONLY then) plug in USB cable

I have second hand LG-LS970 running 4.1.2 and am looking to root it. Before I do I wanted to use a USB program like LGFlashTool to copy the stock roms off and give me a way to back out if I soft brick it. I cannot seem to get the drivers to show up in device manager. What am I doing wrong?

yes, and I hoped that it was going to show as a device under ports in device manager?! Is it just a standard TypeB USB cable?

Sorry for the delay I was out of town the last couple of days. It should indeed be just a standard Type B USB cable, are you using the cable that came with your phone? Also make sure it's a Type B USB cable that is capable of both Power and Data transfer. Some cables are just capable of power transfer and not data transfer since they don't have the d+ and d- wires inside them.

I have another one, not the original one and it works as data transfer and power to PC for other 'droid phones. Should it show up as a device in device manager?

It should show up in device manager if that is cable that you are using. Does the device show up in Windows Explorer as an attached storage device? Also make sure in settings on your phone you have USB Debugging enabled, I have had issues in the past with drivers being installed and devices not showing up. What happens is once USB Debugging is enabled the device will pop up in Windows Explorer and say it's installing the drivers. Just let it install the drivers it thinks it needs and it should work. Let me know if this helps ! If your still having problems still happy to help :good:.
Hi everyone,
I often transfer files between my Samsung S7 Edge and my Windows PC through USB cable. However, after (making the mistake of) letting it upgrade to Oreo (v8.0), this is no longer possible: connecting the phone via USB to my laptop only shows charging information in the swipe-down top menu, and I no longer get the prompt asking whether I want to allow access to the phone's contents. Consequently, the phone's internal&SD memory no longer shows up under Windows Explorer.
I've been searching for a fix/workaround for hours (thanks Google for this quality time!). Some of the things I've tried that didn't work:
- enable/disable USB debugging mode under developer options
- change "USB configuration" (under Developer Options) to "MTP" and to all other options there
- use a different USB cable and USB port on the laptop
- search for apps on the Play Store that can help with this (didn't find any that actually do the job)
Connecting Android phones to Windows laptops to access their internal memory through USB cable has (bemusingly!) been a problem with this ****ty OS as long as I can remember, so it doesn't surprise me that users are having to spend even more time now to get it to work again.
Any suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks - I tried that, but I still don't see the phone's memory as a USB drive, nor any permission prompt on the phone once I connect it.

Try to reinstall drivers ,uninstall all previously installed use USBDEVIEW tool .
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
Before I do that, I should note that, when I tried on a different Win 10 PC, I get the USB drive back no problem, so the problem is Windows/PC-related, it seems?!
Turns out that, when using another USB cable, the phone is once again seen as a USB drive. I didn't think the cable could make a difference! Hope it helps others
Hello, I'm facing this problem from many years in my phone, i can't plug in my mate 10 to any pc, it always says usb not recognized,
all drivers installed correcly with hisuite , my cable usb is new,
i changed today the USB charging port of the phone at Huawei care service, and i reset factory the phone , still same problem.
I'm still having the same stock rom on the device,
is the "usb not recognized" problem can be a software problem in the phone? thank you for your experience.

I'll try to help you but I'm not an expert, and yet I've had EVERY problem you seem to be speaking about.
a. I have had broken USB ports
b. I have had broken USB cables
c. I have had the USB drivers not install on Windows
etc.
Given I've had some of the same problems, I feel for you, so my first advice is to simply give up on USB for everything that you can.
Specifically, if you can turn on USB debugging and Wireless debugging in the Developer options, you can operate the phone over Wi-Fi using the Windows monitor, keyboard and mouse as shown in my screenshots below.
You don't need anything installed on Android to use these FOSS solutions on Windows to operate the entire phone over Wi-Fi as of Android 12 (which eliminated the need for an initial USB connection to establish the Wi-Fi connection).
In summary, I have had similar problems with USB where I've given up on USB and switched to operating Android over Wi-Fi and even mounting the entire Android file system as a Windows drive letter over Wi-Fi using free software.
a. adb
b. scrcpy
c. vysor
d. webdav
Use Windows Event Viewer to check for error messages on the PC.
If the problem is the PC it will likely show up there and give you more troubleshooting clues.
