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.

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, my S3 I9300 has brocken USB port, can charge but PC won't detect it and when I put it in Download mode Odin does not see it neither (PC does detect my S2 on sync and Download mode).
It has stock 4.1.2, unrooted, is there any method to install/upgrade to a different ROM via stock recovery? maybe a modded stock ROM to flash from the SDCard? maybe a modded OTA update ROM?
Thanks in advance
Help need to find the thread : Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Stock recovery can not flash custom rom!
What is the problem with usb?
Drivers are installed?
USB debugging turned on?

AFAIK you can't so you might wanna check your drivers to get the download mode working.

Hi, I've double check/install the drivers and cables, the PC Odin detects my S2 I727 and T989 but not this I9300 (tried Debugg ON and OFF), I think the I9300's USB port is broken, it can charge but not sync.
Accepting the possibility that your USB port is damaged, is there any reason you can't use mobile odin?

ROOT is required to use Mobile Odin!

If you can charge but not sync, then it's time to get the good news: get a new USB cable to work with and you'll be fine. I also had this problem and with a new cable, odin was able to recognize my sgs3. Good luck!

Any site to get a working cable? I tested Samsung U6 cable, Motorola cable and some other cables, all detect my S2 (T989, i727) but not this S3.(i9300).
So if it charges it must detect a S3 in download mode? or is possible that it does not detect download mode even if it charges?
have you tried different USB ports on pc, As well as different cables?
Go to service and change charging port module from your phone..

I had the same thing with my i9300 i.e. charging is fine however no sync and I detected it just 1 day after my warranty had expired. Anyway what I did was to clean the USB port to get it working back. Here's what I did, First remove the battery from the phone. Now put a fine awl pin in the USB port to remove all the lint from it. While putting it there make sure there is no/minimal contact of pin with the circuit (which act as USB jack) in the port.
Next i put some acetone on cotton and forced it inside usb port with the pin and make sort of wiping motion of cotton with pin to clean the circuit board. After that I take another piece of cotton and put WD40 on it and do the same thing as above. The Next thing, put the battery back and the USB port is working like a charm
Needless to say, if you do decide to follow my method for cleaning the port do it at your own risk. There is always the risk of damaging the phone further when you do such kind of things.
Thanks to all, the issue was: loosen port, port replaced now I got it rooted using the same PC with same USB cables I used for my S2.
Who invented this weak usb port???
Hello people,
i got a small problem. I just bought a sm-g925F and be very happy with it so far. Well the problem is, that i can't connect to the phone via USB to flash another FW because 6.0 isnt aviable for switzerland (AUT) now. For those who think they maybe got a solution: impossible. I already tried everything in every forum. I tried different cables, different PCs, download mode, usb debugging, different drivers, manual set drivers, exit silent mode, wipe device, apply a new usb port on the device (im not that shure if they really did it).
Win 10 gave me a message, that its unable to get informations about the connected hardware. For me there are two solutions: 1. Hardware device of the device core PCB, 2. the Firmware is broken somehow.
ANYWAY i dont want a solution for that. Im just ask if its possible to flash another firmware for example via Wireless Lan oder an SD Card, connected to the S6 via USB adapter.
I am thankful for every reply
Kind regards
Same problem here, USB was working 100% then I got the 6.0.1 beta and now I can't get USB at all.. Are you on the beta?

Nope, i did a usual update to 5.1.1 when i got my phone.
if the device is still working...dial *#0808# and select MTP+ADB and try if u can flash the new FW you want to flash.
Mtp+adb was already selected
May i change these settings?
Get usb otg cable, and push firmware as adb or put zip rom on usb and browse the connected usb via otg in twrp

Hey guys i just got my S6 back!
I gave it to a samsung partner after some phones with the samsung service. They wasnt able to fix this problem. So i decided to give it away to repair it. It took 6 days(!!) whats amazingly fast and they installed a new main pcb, usb slot and another thing (dont know the part name) and it works fine now!
Thanks for all your help.
Hello guys i'll try to keep my explanation short.
Device Samsung S6 Edge (rooted)
Not detected by ANY PC anymore, HOWEVER it does charge.
I Tried 5 different cables (new, original, old) cables do work so does the main PC
as my other devices are detected.
I have deleted KIES, SMART SWITCH , DRIVERS and reinstalled in the same order.
So, i flashed the S6 back to stock using TWRP (S6 was running Custom Rom XtrestoLite).
Still nothing, so i deleted all my files from the phone and flashed it back to stock again.
Still nothing, so i wiped the complete OS off the S6.
Now i'm here.
Try to change the usb mode it may can help

That's impossible as i've said my S6 has no rom and Computers do not detect the S6.

Tell me the status for now, S6 is running on stock or custom??
enable usb debugging and install usb driver again, also check in another pc/laptop whether they are detecting it or not.
Use Original cable and give a shot This might help you.
Also head over to Samsung's ofifcial Developer website and fetch the Samsung USB Driver pack which is about 15MB.
That generally solves the issue. Atleast for me!
I had the same problem think the usb board is damaged... you should replace it.
It was running a custom rom, but now the phone has no rom. I can only into download mode or TWRP and thats it.
So there are no options available on the phone itself.
I tried kies driver, smart switch driver, seperate driver from samsung website, i've also tried clockwork samsung driver. Nothing works for me.
Maybe it's the micro usb port that is damaged, but i highly doubt that.

Highly improbably that the USB board is damaged. Try different cables and before that, try it on a different PC. Sometimes it does work. My friend's S6 wouldn't read in Download Mode on my PC but it did on his.
Also head over to Run on your PC and type devmgmt.msc and check if there are any drivers missing.
I think the problem is the drivers
Install new drivers or find other samsung ... and try again
i've installed many drivers including the one that is 15,3mb in size.
guys it's not the computer because it does detect my tablet and my s7.
which also means that it's not the cables and believe me i have tried many cables about 8 cables now .
it's not the drivers, i dont know what it could be.
i think i'll order a new micro usb port and try that out eventhough i know that the usb port can't be damaged.
Unless one of you has a better idea, you are welcome to share.
Update: Hi guys, i've replaced the port but the phone is still undetectable by any computer.
Does anyone know what's wrong with this device?
Seriously, is there NO ONE of you guys with any knowledge or what?
I was going to say your usb charge port is damaged enough that it will charge but not transmit data but i re-read your post and realized you can't have a charge port issue if you able were able to flash stock rom. If you have teamviewer, pm me and i'll try to help you.
I have had this issue before in the past. Turned out that the cable was at fault. Swapped it and everything worked as expected, computer found it once again.
If it's not the cables as you claim, then you may have to ship it to samsung and request a replacement device.
