I just received a replacement S2 from AT&T, my old S2's USB port went out. I am wanting to root through Odin and get CM9 back on but I can not get my phone to connect to my PC. I have tried on my main PC Windows 7 64 bit and my laptop Windows XP. The phone is running 2.3.6 KK6. When I connect it I see MTP Initialization followed by MTP Connected on my phone, but nothing on my computer. When connecting in Mass storage mode by either enabling usb debugging or through settings -> wirelss -> USB Utilities the phone will just beep when connecting. I've tried the following to fix:
- Installed Kies, Reinstalled Kies
- Installed just the Samsung USB driver
- *#7284# on my phone and made sure PDA was selected under USB. Even switched to Modem then back to PDA.
- Tried removing my MicroSD card
- Multiple reboots
- Tried 2 different cables
- Tried different USB ports
Any other ideas on how to fix?
Try this dude.

First thing I would try is to completely uninstall the usb drivers in Windows, and then reinstall the usb drivers from this thread.
Well...I fixed my issue and want to headbutt a kitten as well. Turned out that I wasn't using a MicroUSB cable that was able to do Data as well as charge. Guess all MicroUSB cables are not created equally. I had 3 that I tried and they would just charge the device. I talked to Samsung and they asked if I was using my "Official" Samsung cable. I thought I was, turns out I wasn't. I went to Walmart and got a cable certified for Data and all is good in the world. Connected to my PC instantly.
So if you are having issues, check to make sure you are using your Samsung cable or one that is certified for data.
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
Well, the day before it occurred to me that I'd like to install a custom ROM, therefore I went on to plug my phone into my PC and for my surprise, the phone didn't pop that MTP warning and the PC did not recognize it.
So I went around and changed USB ports, cables and PCs, same thing.
Decided to try Mass Storage mode, when I press the START button and put in the cable it goes back into the main start screen.
So I went on and tried that *#7284# trick people used since apparently 4.0.3 bugged some crap stuff in the phone, no success either.
Strangely enough I can connect the "pendrive dongle" and it will map pendrives.
Well, I don't have my phone rooted or with SU so that means CWM from app store won't be able to install the recovery module, and I can't install... you get the picture.
Nor ODIN nor HEIMDALL will recognize my phone in recovery mode, wich suggests that the data lanes on my phone went somewhat dead.
Finally, any cable I plug in the phone says it's charging my device, wich leads me to belive that the usb port is dead.
Anyone had this issue?
Anyone can confirm me I'll have to take it to Sammy's assistance?
Sure looks like the USB is dead/dying.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
So I got one more question, can I root and/or install CWM so I do not stay dependent of the USB to update it or I do need to plug in the USB to install CWM through ODIN?
Several problems
It can be several reasons
1.the usb is dead buy new
2. try factory resetting the device
3. install kies on pc it will install all the drivers that you need
4.your usb port(of the phone) is dead
I had the same problem pc was saying "USB cannot be recognized" I TRIED EVERYTHING from factory resetting, changing pc usb ports, changing usb, changing kernel, roms, trying on other pc, reinstalling kies and drivers but nothing. The problem was in the usb port on the phone where you connect the charger on the phone. That part is weak and so you have to change it. Take to customer service with your warranty and they will fix it without charging anything just tell them your problem and say that you read that most of the galaxy s2 users have this problem and that you didn't touch the hardware of the phone

Warranty has already expired.
Kies was installed on the PC, ODIN gives no info @ COM port.
I wanted to connect it just to root and install CWM so I can swap ROMs as much as I want.
Thing is, the customer service wants 1 week to assess the issue and probably 100USD to fix it.
So for some god-knows-why reason my phone decided to conect to MTP while charging, I quickly restarted it into revocery mode and flashed CF_Root w/ CWM5.5.
Successful!
Bloody USB thingy!
Now I can start messing around with the phone.
Anyone has a n00blet guide on ROMs?
I was thinking about moving to CM 10.1, one of those nightlies running 4.2.2.
This is the one I used >> CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXX_LPE-v5.5-CWM5
Can anyone suggest actions?
For future you should change your USB-Port. Here we get one for about 15 € (about 20 $) in ebay. It's very simple to change and then you have a full working phone again. Just watch the Videos on Youtube and everyone can do this. Hope I could help!
Hi guys,
Its a bit confusing but I'll try to keep it as short as possible. It seems basically that I can charge fine in recovery and download but not in the ROM. Syncing doesn't work at all except download..
I have an i9100m. Ran NeatROM and RootBOX and dabbled with a few roms.
Now I'm not sure if it was the roms or wear and tear but I had ASSUMED until today that my USB port was messed. It would not even charge from a PC nevertheless mount as a mass storage on my PC. It can charge fine from an AC adapter.
Anyway, today I randomly decided to put my phone into download mode and what do you know, the phone detects, and I even see it in ODIN, so I guess my USB port is not messed afterall. Perhaps something with the ROMs and kernels that messed it up?
I think this was around the same time when my Triangle went away.... (I never removed it). In download mode now, it says:
Custom binary Download: NO
Current Binary: SAMSUNG Official
I'm rooted and not stock at all so I wonder if that's the cause?
I was thinking of downloading a stock TAR of my carrier and flashing through ODIN. Do you guys think this is sufficient to "Reset" it back to how it was all the way before? And then I'll root and go back to one of my trusted roms (and not mess around)
Thanks
Do you use the original USB cable to connect your phone? That could be an issue.
Anyways, I don't think that something is messed up software-side if you tried several ROMs.
Worst case is that the USB port of your phone is damaged =/

Yes I am using the original cable. (all same result but obviously wanted to use the original just in case)
I was thinking the USB port was damaged too because after reading, I guess apparently I accidentally created a usb jig? (triangle went away + stats wiped...)
But that aside, if my USB port is damaged, how come when I'm in download mode, PC and ODIN detect a device is connected and it charges, whereas within the ROM, I get neither ???
Just an update guys,
I used ODIN to flash completely back to stock... and I still cannot charge from PC. Basically computer doesn't see the phone at all. So it has to be a damaged port.. unless theres something else other than the internal SD that I can wipe????? I wanted to wipe everything..
Still really puzzles me though... that ODIN can see it in Download Mode.
One of the mysteries I guess.
Did you try to clean your mini usb port on the mobile? It could help.

So....your phone only charges on DL Mode?????

I have tried to blow some air in there.. any other suggestions?
Well, the computer only recognizes the device in download mode, Windows sees the device, otherwise it doesn't.Just strange that I was able to flash an entire stock image through ODIN but in the ROM can't even get the computer to recognize that ANYTHING is plugged in (or the phone to charge so the phone doesn't see anything either)
And again, whats even more strange is that i had that one cheap extendable USB cable that probably messed everything up (it removed my triangle..so I accidentally somehow created a jig?) is able to CHARGE the phone even in ROM but still the computer can't see it as a device. LOL
This is so messed. I guess my main thing is even if I go ahead to replace the USB port (get it repaired), do you guys still think this problem would occur... =\

I currently have the exact same problem, except for the flaky usb cable removing your triangle. Mine is still there.
I brought my S2 to a repair shop because i was sure it was my USB port, but the guy there told me it connected in download mode just fine so the USB port should be fine.
Here is what I tried so far
- cleaned USB port
- Used diferent cables
- Used different PC's
- Used different kernals
- Used different roms
- Re-formated/cleared/wiped everything I could find.
Did anyone find a solution? Should I still have my USB port replaced?

hardware problem
Hi everyone, I've been having some serious problems with the usb connection of my samsung galaxy fame (GT-S6810L)
1) I intended to root the phone, but the adb console wouldnt recognise the phone
2) I intended to flash a new rom from odin and maybe root later ... but odin didnt recognise it neither
3) Finallly, I gave up and said to myself "**** it, im sticking with this rom, with my tablet i dont need gaming, so i dont need rooting ...". But when I went to load some music into the phone .... oh yes, the computer didnt recognise the mass usb storage system !
I tried with 3 different cables, all usb ports and A LOT of drivers (official and unnoficial) i found out there ... i also tried the generic ones i used to root my chinese tablet thorugh ADB, but no luck. I havent tried Kies because my pc is a piece of s$%& and it could possibly explode
I think the problem would be in the drivers, because i tried plugin in another phone (samsung galaxy Y pro, GT-B5510L) and the pc didnt recognise it as well
The worst of all is that when I plug the phone into my pc, it recognises that im pluging in something, but I cant work on it
This is what I get:
(i cant post the links of the pictures, but the hardware manager shows a new menu that goes "Android Phone" with a submenu that goes "Samsung Android Interface")
I NEED help, please ............. I might throw this piece of crap in any moment
Thanks in advance
PD: i have winXP 32bit

Did you select the option of USB Debugging mode enabled when connecting to ADB??
If you didn't, then try connecting by enabling that.
As you said no other samsung devices are connecting, then you surely install driver softwares.
Here's the link to the Samsung USB Driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
If you have installed Samsung Kies, disable it first and then try to connect it in Odin or ADB!!
Press thanks if I have helped you.
Yes, i turned on USB debbuging (i rooted my tablet through ADB). I turned it back off when i tried to use mass storage, as well as double checked if the usb thetering was oof (it was)
Ive never installed kies because my pc is pretty crappy (not even 1gb ram)
Ill give that driver a try and let you know, thank you !
EDIT -------------
Those were the drivers !! I love you man !
