This bizarre bug just started happening yesterday.
Whenever I try to connect my phone via usb, and move or interact with a file in any way, the window freezes completely. And any attempt to reconnect the phone fails.
I'm running stock android kit Kat 4.2 and my phone was never rooted.
I tried switching cables, I tried switching computers, I did a factory reset, and I'm still experiencing this problem.
This just started happening yesterday, I spent all day looking for answers, tried usb debugging, could not find anything similar, and nothing works...
If anyone knows anything about this I would really appreciate help, I'm at a complete loss here.
I think I figured it out.
The problem was a corrupt file.
Thanks anyway I guess...

Hello people, I have a rather peculiar issue with my SII
I have had this issue for some time now and really doesnt bother me that much, its just annoying. And its just now that I have bothered writing a post about it.
If Ive run out of battery, I plug my phone into the charger, turn it on while its charging, I get no service, not prompted to input PIN and get the Uknown IMEI\baseband version. But if I let it charge a couple of minutes, unplug the charger and turn it on, everything works fine. Whats going on here?
I think this problem occured after installing one of bmarko's MIUI roms. I have since full wiped and restored stock rom. Upgraded two new official samsung roms as they have been released, currently running XWKI8 unrooted completely stock and the issue still persist.
I have searched around and there are similar cases out there but not really any clear solutions. Theres even a post over at cyanogenmods forum site, but no replies.
As said earlier its not really a big issue for me, not expecting a immediate solution but I would really like to understand the problem if someone has the information since I dont have the technical competence to understand it myself. I obviously havent corrupted or lost anything in my efs folder since its working without the charger, or? Could there be remains of a bug from another rom still in the system causing this?
Any replies would be appreciated, thanks.
Same Problem
Hey FlipTrick,
I got exactly the same problem. Dont remember how it happened exactly, but do remember I didn't do anything exotic. Can't display my IMEI, unknown baseband version and no prompt for my PIN.
I Tried several things:
- Reflashed the advised codeworx kernel using odin.
- ReInstalled CM 7.1 and tried nightly version.
- Reflashed different RADIO ROMS from XDA (goo.gl/TjoaM)
Nothing worked. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Or know what I could try next?
Greetings,
Xianduras
I had this problem once when I used a jig to reset the flash counter. Given the modem (and the IMEI) wasn't showing up in the phone details, I reflashed the modem which fixed it.
Occasionally after a reboot my modem/IMEI details take around 20-30 seconds to appear, but they've never not turned up/left me without service apart from that one occasion.
problem gone?!
Problem seems to be gone, noticed it after flashing Hydrog3n rom. Cant say if thats the solution though, havent tested it for awhile and i've flashed alot of roms
Hi all,
Just had my new S3 for a few days and loving it so far apart from 1 thing.
I updated the firmware the other day via Kies but now the MTP driver fails to install.
I've uninstalled Kies, drivers, downloaded it again and reinstalled but nothing. Cable is fine and its only happened since the update 2 days ago.
Any ideas as i cant connect the damn thing to my PC now to take pics off, put music on
Cheers
Anyone?

have you tried some other pc ??
I've had the same problems, and seem to have narrowed it down. I originally had work email on my phone and it caused my phone to not connect to the PC due to security policies. I removed the email and it started working again. However at some point it stopped working again. I had rooted my phone and so I thought maybe that had something to do with it. After trying everything, I found a thread that mentioned factory reset may help. I tried this and sure enough it came back. Until the next day. It stopped working again. I did a factory reset once more, and it started working again. This time I skipped google login (restore). I installed an app at a time and reset the phone. All working still, After a while I got the confidence to restore everything and so far, all working.
My best guess, is the google backups was backing up and restoring something that was causing the MTP driver to fail. It's definitely something on the phone that causes this problem (in my case at least). Since I went through a clean backup / restore cycle now, it doesn't seem to be happening.
Hope this helps!
try on another usb port,off/on usb debugging again,reboot phone ,troubleshoot connection error on kies ,then connect to try , make sure to use original data cable

This workded for me!!!!! I had tried everything for 2 days but only this worked and I didnt loose root...
Hi guys
I'm having this very strange problem for days and I just can't fix it:
The USB computer connection itself is totally gone, from the status bar. (see screenshots).
Here is how it happens
I'v been using JB 4.1.2 + Bionic Root + Boot Menu Manager ever since they were available. During this period, I'v flashed/backed up/restored the system like hundred times. This problem never happened.
A few days ago, I tried to restore the (laggy) system, but when it's booted, root was gone. Tried several times, same result.
So I started RSD Lite and re-installed a clean copy of JB, and then tried to grant root with Bionic method just like before, everything went fine, but root was actually not available.
And then I found out that the USB computer connection itself is totally gone from the status bar. (it could be gone already before I tried to root the phone, can't clearly remember it)
I tried other computers, same thing. The device can be detected through ADB but the USB computer connection never shows up.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem? Can someone suggest anything that I can do to fix it? Thanks very much.
OK, I just tried the Chinese one-click root master, and it worked.
Not sure why the Bionic method doesn't work anymore, but anyway, now everything's back...root, bmm, usb options.
This thread can be marked as solved or deleted. Thanks.
Hi everyone, I have a problem with the bluetooth of my acer liquid e1 (chipset mtk6577), with android 4.1.1.. Since a few days ago I can’t anymore use it. Explaining better: when I try to switch on Bluetooth, the toggle immediately comes back to off. The strange thing is that I didn’t install anything new since the last time bluetooth worked. I’ve already tried to delete the application data of the bluetooth app. I also tried to replace MtkBt.apk file in the /system/app folder with some apk found over internet. I used root explorer to do it. Is there anything else I can try? Consider that this problem started without any relevant change in the configuration of the phone.
Thanks a lot
No one of you can help me?

I tried restarting in safe mode, and then happened a very strange thing: restarting normally after the restart in safe mode, bluetooth worked. But then, after another restart, it didn't work again. Restarting again in safe mode isn't useful. I can't anymore activate it using the safe mode. Any solution?
Sup guys, so i just had a really strange problem that popped out randomly, i was watching a youtube video and i had to help a person quickly and when i came back just a minute later i saw my phone showing encryption unsuccessfull when i pressed the power button to turn my screen on. Well it said to factory reset my phone, i don't store any important data on my phone anyways so i just went for it, and it restarted went to my TWRP recovery and tried factory reseting it, to no success. It basically failed to access /data/ and other directories and i can't see any files in them through recovery. And so i can't even factory reset it, i can't install a ROM cause the partition is corrupt i assume. How can i "unbrick" this? I was running the good old Temaseks CM 12.1 ROM, has been working fine for a looong time. My PC recognizes the phone but i can't access any data, it just shows that it's connected, odin doesn't recognize it.
Can somebody help me please ? I use my phone alot and it's really important.
