[Q] USB Device not recognised

Hey,
Updated my phone with the Nordic firmware when it came out and all was well.
today I tried to connect my phone to the laptop with the usb and the title error keeps coming up. I can't do anything pc related with the phone now. The phone LED comes on when plugged in but the menu doesn't show up on the phone.
I havn't changed anything vital... or at all. I factory reset the phone but that hasn't changed anything.
Any help on how to fix this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Computer dies when I connect the phone

Hi.
I wanted to update my x10 mini pro to the latest firmware. It didnt work throught the updater, it said I had the latest but I didnt (i had Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.A.0.504). So I followed this rendeiro2005 "[FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies" I downloaded the nordic version, but nothing happend, tried to update it but still said there where no updates. So then I downloaded the UK version, then It found the new update, it worked halfway through the update and then the computer died.
Now either nothing happens, I mean it doesnt find the phone via usb, or the computer dies. I tried to uninstall/reinstall PC companion with revo uninstaller, didnt work. Then I tried to start the computer in safe mode and that didnt work either. And I have tried all three different ports. I tried to turn of the phone and connect it and then the computer snap shutdown. (the usb worked fine all day today before I tried to upgrade).
Thanks
Now I¨ve tried to uninstall flashtool and the drivers installer that comes whith it, also uninstalled PC companion. And used the guide "how-to-remove-old-unused-device-drivers-in-windows-7" to deleted some drivers that I suspected have something to do with the phone. At least the computer doesnt die now. But still it doesnt find the phone when I plug it in. I tried the "silent mode trick", but didnt work either.
I dont think theres something wrong with the phone. I did a backup with titanium before but I cant get to it now since the phone isnt rooted anymore after the FW update.
Do you have the Debugging mode enabled? if you have it, try disabling.
Ya tried that to. No success. Even formatted my computer. Nothing. Then I wanted to charge the phone, ordanary rechargeching, that didnt work either. So it must be something with the phone. Have no clue how to get around it. Tried hard reseting it also. Nothing. I guess is something with the new firmware upgrade. Is there any way to go back without using usb?
Is there a way to update/downgrade it wireless?
If the usb is broken, can I send it to SE and have it repaired? (The phone is secondhand without reciept)
You can send it to the SE care centre to get it repaired but you will have to pay because it is out of warranty.
regarding your pc, does usb work other than your phone? im wondering how a connection like that to the phone makes the pc go dead!
There maybe something with the pc or the phone. check with the hardware wires are connected properly and try some other usb device (pendrive etc) and check if the usb works well. then you dont need to doubt about the pc next time.
if pc works then you have to check with your phone and see if that doesnt work.
Other than that i dont know if it will be software (windows xp,7, or other s/w) matter but something on hardware. doubting the phone. so please check it out.
Thanks and good luck on your search!
Do you know how much it can cost to get it fixed?
Ive tried to reinstall windows, didnt work. Tried linux, didnt work. Ive tried other usb devices and they work. After reinstalling the phone doesnt kill the computer anymore atleast. So I guess its the phone. I wont charge when its of either.
Everything worked fine halfway through the update with pc-companion. After that the phone lost connection and never got it back since. What do you think, any chances?

HELP - Odin and kies won't detect my phone !

Here's the thing guys: a week ago i was at a bar whith some friends and one of them spilled a glass of beer on my phone.I queckly removed the beer from it,removed the battery,sim card and sd card and left it for 1 hour to dry.After that i put the battery back and turn it on.The soft just wen't crazy so i decided to go in CWM and flash the soft back and everything was working fine.During the night i left the battery and the sim out of the phone.In the morning after i used an hair-dryer to be sure that there was no liqued in it, i decided to charge my phone.All wen't well untill i unpluged it and got the a message saing : battery still charging.I pluged it back and left the phone there for 4 hours.Again the same problem.I restarted the phone and wiped battery status,still no efect.After this i decided to flash the stock firmware.I put the phone in downloade mode and connected to my laptop.First odin added the device,the removed it then added it again.After that i put the 3 files and hit flash,but the an error appeared: odin removed it again and windows 7 gaved my this message: usb not recognized.i tried every metode on the internet.No effect.Now odin and kies wont see it.
I've installed the drivers again and again.I am abble to enter downloade mode,but as i said odin wont see it.When i turn on the phone,i get this message: firmware upgrade encounted an issue.please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
I know that this is a soft brick problem,not a hard brick problem,because previosuly i had hard brick and repaired it with JTAG at a local service.
Before this problem appeared,i was using Rootbox Rom.
Please help me.I'm begging you.!
p.s: should i try to reinstall my windows ? and sorry for any grammar mistakes.
You need to clean up your device, usb por at least. 99% alcohol should do the trick.
Formatting win7 or clean samsung drivers & kies uninstall should do it too.
This is trial & error, you can always use that guy who spilled the beer's laptop

Your USB-Port is wrong. you should clean this up and also the whole phone as posted before. All this problems are caused by the USB-Port...
Disassemble it and clean it with q-tips and isopropyl alcohol,

Consult him and make him pay for a galaxy s4 ;p.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Allready tried that.Same problem.
Ummmmmm...sneaky little device, is it charging at least?
If not, usb is completly busted.
Anyways, if it does charge doesn't actually mean your pc will see it, are you using s2's genuine cable? Does your pc sees ANY DEVICE CONNECTED at all? An a unknown device at least?

I eventualy figuared out that my usb was broken, so i send it to a friend who works at samsung service.the repair cost 30 dollars.He told me that i was lucky,because at first he tought that the motherboard was damaged,but it wasn't.Now i have my phone and i recenty installed neatrom lite v4.4 and i have some problems:
1.When i lock the phone,my lockscreen won't appear ? how can i fix that ? i tried from setting,but nothing.
2.Should i install Siyah/Dorimanx or just stay whith the stock kernel ? i don't want my phone to have overheating problems,stability problems etc.I'm not a fan of OC,i just want the phone to move faster and that it won't get stuck,freeze,laggy.
3.How can i install those addons ? i'm interested in the aosp lockscreen with shortcuts and weather info,keyboard aosp,to have the circle battery note gallery and some camera options.thats all
4.How can i add more icons in the notification center ?
5.When i hold the powerbutton,the phone shuts done.Why is that ? I don't have the 4 options that were with the stock version(airplaine mode,data enabler,silent profile and power off).How can i have these back ?
Once again guys,thank you very much for your help.

[Q] Battery problem and connect to pc problem

Hello,
I have a very big problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300.
The problem started when my battery ran down very very fast. I can use my phone for no longer than maybe 6 hours, and that is in stand by. If I want to charge my phone till it's completely full it might take two days on the charger as well, even when my phone is off. I tried to reset my phone to factory defaults, but that didn't fix the problem. I even bought a new battery, hoping that would solve the problem, but even no luck with that. The phone also becomes hot in the bottom. Now I wanted to bring it back to the store for warrenty but there lies the next problem, my phone is rooted.
I know it is possible to unroot the phone, and it's nog too hard to do. But every time I connect my phone with USB to my computer, my computer doesn't recognize it. I get the next error message "USB device not recognized". I tried different cables, I tried on an other computer, but still I get the same error. I also tried the S3 of a friend on my computer and with his phone I do get a connection. So I know there is nothing wrong with the drivers on my computer or something like that. There must be something wrong with my phone.
Now the problems won't stop here because there is even a third problem. Like I said before I have rooted my phone, but I can't use SuperUser. When I start SuperUser it says "The SU Binary needs to be updated. Continue?". Then when I press continue I get the message "Installation failed !". I can't use CWM as well. I wanted to use Triangle Away before bringing it back for warrenty, but I can't use it because I can't use SuperUser.
If some one would have an idea to unroot my phone without using USB so I can bring it in for warrenty. Or find a way to get my USB port running again, I think that would fix my problems.
I spend a few hours trying to fix these problems, but now I've come to a point I don't know what to do anymore, I hope anyone of you is willing to help me. I'll be for ever gratefull.

Hi.
If i was you, i would try to install a official version, using Odin.
Also, my advice is not to use the original charger, Even chinese have better one´s...
Did you install Kies and drivers on your PC? Check that too.
Consider install leaked 4.2.2 version of Rom, since it uses Odin to do it.
I hope i gave at least some clues....

Thanks for your reply,
I forgot to mention that I have the official ROM installed, I only rooted it. But even if I would want to install a new ROM, my computer doesn't recognize my phone throug USB. So I can't install a ROM using Odin unless my USB port is running again.
I tried several chargers already, I don't think the problem lies in the charger because the battery drains very fast when it's of the charger.
I did install Kies and drivers, I even uninstalled them and reinstalled them again a couple of times. I even tried it on different computers. And the Galaxy S3 of a friend of mine does make a connection. So I don't think the problem lies there.

Hummm....
Did you try hard reset? Definitely without USB recognition, you can`t go to next stage....
In setup did you check optinos like USB debugging?
At this moment im out of options....maybe a poweruser can help you better:highfive:

What exactly do you mean with hard reset? If you mean powering on with home button and volume up button pushed, and then select "wipe data/factory reset". Then yes, I tried that.
In setup I did check USB debugging. The thing is, when I power on with home button and volume down button, I enter download mode. But even in download mode my computer does not recognize my phone. I'm not sure, but I think the computer should.
I'm really stuck here :crying:

[Q] MT6589 GTI9500 bricked

Hi guys, I believe I have hard bricked my phone.
I was trying to solve the IMEI lost by installing these bins files (www movilesdualsim dot com/threads/ayuda-con-i9500-s4-with-mtk6589-quad-core-5-0-screen-1920-1080.47124/) using SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119, so I was doing so and when SPFlash has finished the phone doesn't boot up anymore. I have tried to flash recovery.img with SP Flash but it doesn't even detect the phone anymore.
When I connect the phone to the PC by USB cable I can heard the connected device sound going on and off and looking the windows device manager I can see a "Alcatel Single RNDIS Interface" device connected but like I said it goes on and off every 5 seconds or so. If I put the battery on the phone it doesn't make any different.
I would appreciate so much if anyone could help me out. I don't usually bother people asking for help but I can't really find how to fix this issue and I don't know if it is even possible to fix it.
Thank in advance
