Hey guys! I was hoping I could figure this out myself, but seeing as I haven't I resulted in asking the community for help!
I have been on here countless times resolving plenty of issues with my phone, but I cannot seem to find the right answer to my problem or problems!
So here it goes!
Okay, so, I have a galaxy S5 Active (G870A) and Windows 10. I am trying to unroot it and start fresh again since everything seems to be messing up with the phone i.e not charging when plugged into wall outlet or computer or car, not wanting to connect to computer etc.
I am currently trying to get it to connect to my computer so I can do what I need to do in order to start clean and fresh again, but for some reason I keep getting "USB device not recognized"
I have tried everything the internet as told me to do. Change usb settings in my power plan. Unplug power supply, turn off computer, plug in USB. Reinstalling drivers etc. It has just started doing this for some odd reason and I have no idea what it is and yes I have put in *#0808# to change the USB settings. I've tried updating my phone (nope), I've tried updating my windows (nope), I've reinstalled my chipset (nope)
Right now, any advice will be very helpful Thank you guys!
OH! I can try and send a debug list if that would help you guys???? Not sure! If there is any info you need please let me know!
*Bump* Thank you in advance

Hi Everyone
First of all I'd like to thank everyone who contributes to this wonderful community. It made it very easy for a complete newcomer like me to install the Modaco custom rom on my hero and I've found answers to nearly all my other queries in the forums here.
I now have a problem I can't fix though and was hoping for some advice or help.
When I plug my Hero into my computer via the USB cable Windows has now started saying "USB device not recognised" and the phone does not acknowledge the connection other than charging. The error message says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it".
I've tried all the USB ports and other USB devices and they work fine so I think it must be related to the phone. Tried powering off the PC and phone numerous times but hasn't helped.
I'm confused as it was working fine until recently and I can't think of what I've changed.
Can anyone help or offer any suggestions?
Thanks!
Just realised I've put this in completely the wrong forum. Sorry!
Can it be moved or should I repost in the correct forum?
Cheers
Thread moved
to Q&A
hope this helps
Thanks Liamhere.
Update- tried it on my work PC with same result.
I guess it confirms it's either the wire or the phone?

Try to download the HTC drivers from the HTC support or Android 1.6 SDK and reinstall the USB driver again.
Thanks for your suggestions and anyone else who has been racking their brains for me.
It was, after loads of fiddling with settings and drivers etc aproblem with the USB wire.
My new one arrived in the post and now the phone syncs up fine. Phew!
Old wire is now relegated to "charging only" duties.
hey everyone I am wondering if you are able to help me.. I recently upgraded to modacos custom rom V3. I have been using it for a while now an during that time i have had to wipe my laptop, i lost everything on there.. When I rebooted the laptop an tried to connect my Hero to it I am unable to mount my phone.. It doesnt show up on the notifications screen, i have installed HTC sync an rebooted the phone an still nothing. If any1 is able to help me thatd be great..
Kind Regards, Brett.
please anyone who is able to help me that would be greatly appreciated...
Check if 'HTC driver' is installed as well; you should be able to find it in the "HTC" folder in your start menu if it is. If you can't find it, try reinstalling HTC Sync to make sure the drivers are installed.
hey steven, yeah the driver is installed.. I am going to uninstall HTC sync an re download it , hopefully it works after that. if anyone else has any ideas thatd be great.. thanks guys
Have you tried:
1. Attaching the device to a different PC
2. Using different USB cables
Note that several people on these forums have found that changing cable has worked for them, even though the cable that didn't work seemed to be fine for other devices, so it is definitely worth a try.
Regards,
Dave
hey mate, i just reinstalled htc sync & no luck there.. I have already tried connecting on other computers an no luck there, i will look for another cable next week sometime an hopefully that helps.. thakns for your help.. cheers, brett.
i'm having the same trouble!!!!, it won't mont either on my mac or pc , any help please!!???
well i ended up buying a new usb cable an its mounting fine know.. hope this helps for anyone in the future.. cheers
Glad you got it sorted out with a new cable.
For anyone else having problems with mounting, make sure you're connected to a USB 2.0 port. I had the same problem but everything started to work once plugged in to USB 2.0
Please take the time to read this:I flashed and installed SkyRaider a couple days ago and I noticed when I connected to my PC that my PC started recognizing it as HTC Phone (or something of the like). This apparently really screwed up my drivers on my computer because I installed iKReaM and now I can't even get into disk drive mode...it doesn't ask what connection type I want anymore and my computer just says "USB Device Not Recognized". I tried uninstalling the HTC Driver Installer but that didn't do anything either. This is not good as I ran into the same problem when trying to root my friends Samsung Fascinate and never go the problem fixed. Anyways...my phone worked perfect before and SkyRaider evidently messed it up pretty good...to say I am pissed is an understatement. If you need any more info please let me know.
Please link me to the newest HTC Drivers as well, it would be much appreciated.
If no one can help I will have to do a clean install of windows 7, which is not an enjoyable experience

You will have to buy the pro version to push files. That would be your easy solution.
You can always use recovery to get into usb mode as well.

I can't get into recovery anymore using usb mode, computer doesn't recognize the device so no way to use it...and I would use the Wifi app instead of using a usb cable? I see what you mean by easy but I don't wanna avoid the problem...I have a brand new $1600 Alienware so I would like to have it fixed lol...if need be I may just have to do a clean install
I know this isn't your actual problem but just for the record, AirDroid lets you control your phone and push files to it with a web browser and wifi for free.
(I tried linking it but I guess I haven't made enough posts to include links yet, easy to find by searching the Market tho)
You might check under Settings/ Connect to PC to make sure the Ask Me option is turned on.

When you plug your phone into your computer does the phone start to charge?
If so restart the computer and plug the phone into a different usb port. Check device manager and see if you have it listed in your usb devices, or you have an ! over a usb. Most of the time this ends up being an issue with the computer it is being hooked to, not the phone. The computer isn't launching the driver correctly to show the phone that it is connected to a computer, and not just a wall outlet.
Even when I've had this issue, which is random I have still been able to use recovery usb to manage it. Make sure when your in recovery you mount the sdcard before enabling the usb.
Hi All...
Not sure if this is ROM related, ie a bug, but I seem to have trouble connecting as MTP. I know I connected before changing to the Jelly Thunder ROM as MTP without issue. I connect my phone to the usb port and its set already to PTP and then I try to switch it to MTP and it automatically unselects itself and selects PTP again.
Things Ive tried to resolve:
I read something about having USB debugging on may affect it so I tried turning that off, but no luck.
I tried reinstalling the Samsung Drivers from their site and no change.
I also tried the Kies drivers resinstall and that didn't help.
I have tried to mess with the registry the the "upperfilters" solution found on many SG3 pages with the same problem and that didn't help (plus I don't have a "upperfilters" key, but one solution had me adding it and then removing it in some sequence of having the phone connected to computer and removed).
I tried adding my device ID to the wpdmtp.inf file as one SG3 thread suggests and that didn't help.
I am fresh out of ideas to try. One suggestion from another member in the Jelly Thunder thread, where I first posted this question, suggested trying the hidden menus mod, which I have yet to try. I feel like I shouldn't have to go to that measure to get this to work. There was also some talk on another SG3 thread about doing a factory wipe on the phone to fix it. WHAT?... that seems like a hell of an answer.... loose everything and have to start over with settings and the like.
Any help greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance...
Hello Everyone,

Not unless you are already rooted. Does the PC not recognize that you have plugged it in at all or does it just not load the drivers correctly? Best way to tell is to open your Device Manager and plug in the phone. the DM should reload and show something, whether an error or not. If it does not blink out and reload when you plug / unplug the phone, then it's either a hardware issue with the phone's USB port, a bad cable, or bad USB port on PC. And it is possible for a phone to charge correctly, but have issues connecting to a computer if the data pins are messed up. If it IS the phone's port, the repair isn't that bad and could be handle with some patience and simple tools as this one does not involve soldering. You'd need this:

You won't find a better guide than that, that guy is amazing at teardowns.

Dude really thankful,
As you say, the PC dosn't recognize that the phone is plugged at all, I try all the usb port on my laptop, different cable, and even different laptop and the same problem keep comming up.
I tried also to reboot in odin mode to see if my laptop detecet anything, but nada, nothing in the DM.
Also, like you expect, it can charge but no data connection, and whene it turned off and I plug it it automaticly turned on by itself.
I pretty convinced that it usb port is screwed.
So, to install a rom my phone have to be rooted!! no way to root it from the recovery mode?!
Thanks again

You can try to clean your USB port of the phone with some compressed air, in case some pocket lint got in there too. Doesn't take much to mess these things up, unfortunately. But yea, I doubt there is a way to root it in the stock recovery as most Samsung phones don't have this option. It'd take less time to just fix it probably then figuring out how to jump through all the other hoops to find a way around it.
