I originally posted a threat up on reddit, but I couldn't find a fix for it.
I got a Note 2 do Android development on. I for the life of me cannot get the damn phone to connect to any PC I connect it to via USB; the phone charges, just does not connect. The USB icon does not appear on the device when connected either. I tried 3 different Windows machines, with the same warning I get that the device isn't recognized, but reads it as an 'Unrecognized Device'. I have also tried OS X, does not read it as well.
Here is some of the things I've tried from reading around XDA and other forums that haven't worked for me.
Solutions i've tried with no fix:
Various USB 2.0 cables (I do not have the original cable)
USB 2.0/3.0 and other ports repeatedly.
Enabling USB Debugging
Installing Kies, and Samsung driver from their site
Resetting battery
Booting into recovery mode with device connected
Dial codes for some reason do not work on my phone. I tried entering them with the stock dialer to bring the USB settings, but they don't work. I got around it by installing an app to get the USB mode to MTP, still does not work.
Rooting right now is not option, since Odin requires to be mounted to a machine in order to root. So I'm pretty much stuck. Still can't get this phone to sync on anything.

Samsung Galaxy Gio [Bell] Canada. (locked)
Device: GT-S5660M
Android Version: 2.3.4
Kernel version: [email protected]#1
Baseband: S5660MUGKG3
The device simply wont connect or show up on any PC.
Tried installing KIES (lattest - Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_4). Nothing shows up
Tried putting the phone in downloading mode and then in KIES selected emergency firmware update mode and still no device.
Tried using lattest Samsung USB Drivers (1.3.450.0)
Tried putting the phone in downloading mode and connecting it to ODIN which it does not show up in the COM PORT area.
Tried dialing : *#7284# to change the SERVICE MODE to either USB, UART
Including Toggling DBG MSG
Tried different USB ports.
All doing this with USB DEBUGGING ON and tried with it OFF.
There is no USB Setting in About Phone or in Wireless and Networks settings from the settings menu.
There are many other people with this issue I found but all possible solutions that I have been able to find are listed and attempted but to no avail.
Ive read that others are having no problem connecting to their PC seeing as theres modding / custom rom forums all over. So people are able to connect which leads me to think that this is a carrier specific issue.
THIS IS ONLY MY SPECULATION . NOT 100% SURE
I thought I could start this thread on here to get some more solid advice and help.
I managed to unlock my phone. Not that this matters but I still can't connect it to a pc.
Is there a way to flash my phone with the need of a pc?
Would clockworkmod recovery work?
Would there maybe be an .apk that can be used to install the usb pop up screen or to mount the phone and allow it to be shown on the pc?
Does anyone have any ideas..?
turns out it was actually the usb cable.
I was using a micro usb that came with an LG Eve android phone.
I borrowed my friends HTC Desire micro usb cable and to my surprise it worked!
I hope this helps someone else and stumbles on this thread.
Firstly I apologise if this has been covered anywhere - I read a load of posts and did a load of searches but came up empty handed about this specific issue.
I bought a Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830 Baseband:S5830NEKA3 OS:2.2.1) as a dev device and it's been working fine up until today, and at some point it decided it doesn't want to be able to connect to my computers. I've tried three different computers, two different operating systems, and ever tried installing Kies (urk) with no luck.
The phone can charge over USB, saying that it's charging over AC, but that's all that happens.
I can't boot in to recovery mode as holding the power+middle button+vol up just gives me a ramdump message.
Can anyone help me out?

When phone is turned off. Press and hold home+power/lock button untill it reaches recovery menu.
Check - that works. Thanks.
I'm now unsure as to how to proceed - neither adb devices nor fastboot devices are reporting anything back.
Connect device to pc. Open device manager (windows). Remove all drivers related to the ace and Samsung.
Remove the device and reboot the pc. Then connect the device. Windows update will detect the device and install the necessary drivers. If it doesn't automatically do that then open up device manager and install them manually by right clicking on the device and selecting update drivers from internet.
From the Galaxies to your Ace...!!
Thanks for your reply.
In windows there's no sign of any Samsung or Galaxy Ace drivers. Plugging it in to my Kubuntu machine gives me identical lsusb results as when not plugged in.
Have done a data wipe, checked that USB debugging is on and tried different cables
think it's screwed.
Think I could stick a ROM on the SD card and flash it? Would that work?

hmm.. kies didnt work right? So i guess only option IMO would be card reader or CWM
Yep , the phone's USB port is frayed
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
I have searched all the threads I can find and can't find an answer so please forgive me if this is a common problem.
To make a long story short I had to replace my LCD and then the digitizer stopped working. I did a factory reset which solved the problem but then when I tried to install my backup I messed everything up and nothing was working. I could no longer connect any computer to my phone using several different USB cables. All my google services were not working along with my proximity sensor and light sensor.
I was able to get a fenny rooted stock rom to install using Mobile Odin Pro and I seem to have most of everything working again except the USB port.
I was unable to connect to a computer or charge. After trying everything I could find online including factory resets, *#0808# settings, USB debugging mode, I broke down and ordered a new USB port which I installed into my phone and I am having the same problem with the new port installed.
When I plug my phone into the charger it does nothing however if I turn the screen off and wait about 3 to 5 minutes the LCD will light up and indicate that it is charging and then the phone takes a charge. If I use the phone while it is plugged in it will never indicate that it is charging, I have to power the screen off for several minutes. I have tried a second known good battery and I have the same issue. I have tried two separate factory chargers which both work fine on my wife's S4 and neither work properly with my phone.
When I plug it into my computer I do not get the normal message to select MTP or camera. using the settings recommended on *#0808# of USB of AP and USB Settings of MTP + ADB.
If I use *#0808# and select CP under the USB tab and then plug the phone into my computer I hear my computer instantly make the sound it usually makes when you plug a usb device in but nothing else happens. This same computer works fine with my wife's other Galaxy S4 and I have tried this on three separate computers with the same result so I don't think it is a computer or usb cable issue.
Is there a way that I somehow deleted drivers or a file on my phone that controls the USB port? I am unable to attach screenshots on this post for some reason so below is what my about phone screen shows. Is it possible I have the wrong kernel or radio installed that could be causing this issue?

I would really appreciate any help someone can give me. Thank you in advance. If anyone is local to Rhode Island and willing to help me out in person I would be willing to pay you for your time, I just want to get this to work as I use my phone for work and need to be able to transfer files to my computer.
Last night I changed the SD card and when I did I plugged it into my computer and it started to charge. After about 10 minutes the computer beeped and I was now able to access my files on both my phone and SD card but it was not showing as connected using Kies.
It worked off and on today but now when I plug it in device manager shows qualcomm CDMA technologies MSN with a yellow explanation point saying driver not installed. When I plug my wife's s4 into this computer it works fine. Is it possible my s4 is somehow showing up to my computer as a galaxy note? That is the phone that I find in Google when I search that qualcomm driver.
After updating the firmware. I am unable to connect to wifi. The wifi will not even turn off. I cannot connect to my PC either. I have tried with other PCs as well and with different cables. All show same message "USB device not recognized. One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message." I have updated drivers, disabled drivers, tried different ports, restarted device, restarted PC and still no luck. My device, GT-N8010 is running android 4.4.2 and not rooted. So now i cannot flash another rom or root my device to try and fix the problems. Any suggestions?
I'm not sure if it was the recent windows update(1803) or if my phone is ****ed.
I've tried every USB port, the original cable that came with my phone, the cable that came with my HTC 10, and 2 other cables I had lying around. I also tried factory resetting my phone. None of this worked.
I've tried a few combinations of uninstalling and reinstalling the USB drivers.
I don't have another computer I can use to test with.
Same problem here, can t connect my phone to pc anymore. It worked when i both the phone for 1 week or so and now... nothing. The sound when you connect the cable to the laptop is gone and also the allow and / deny notification you get on your phone.
In downloading mode odin sees the phone and the laptop is makeing the sound.
Whenever you connected your device to the computer, was the USB computer connection on Media Device (MTP)? If it's not on MTP then the computer may not recognize the phone at all.
I have same problem with my S9+ .. I try to install some update to Windows 10 (MTP Drivers) and nothing...
In dawnload mode, also ...don't recognize
This may or may not help, is Bixby updated and configured? I never used Bixby, I turned it off and used Nova Launcher and could not connect to the PC no matter what I tried so..... I turned off Nova Launcher, re allowed Bixby, went through the many configuration nonsense and the phone now connects to the PC. When I plug in the cable the phone shows up as another disk drive and if I click on it, I get internal memory and SD Card and can read or write to either. I've no idea why but apparently Bixby is needed to connect the phone to the PC?
I re activated Nova Launcher and it still works so give it a try.
NOTE: Bixby must be allowed to update first.
Hope this helps at least one of you?
