Hello fellow xda users i have a problem i consider a big deal. My phone will no longer be read by my computer or any other computer. Before you flame me no i didnt install anything not for our phone, im runnin blazer rom 3.5 before that sensation 2.0. i plug the phone in and it wont even show me the usb debuggin icon or that its plugged in to the pc i makes the sound when plugged and unpluged but thats it. Any ideas on why or should i just use my black tie and and get another one?
and you are sure that you have usb debugging checked? maybe do a ##8778# and click on all.
Yes I'm positive and I didn't do anything like flash International gs2. My incredible works fine

Just trying to rule things out. Are you using the same USB cables. I've had some work fine with the chargers but not with the the computer. Weird I know...they would charge from the computer but you couldn't sync to the files at all.

I thought about that, I'm using the charger that came with my phone. I tried one from my Samsung captivate. Last thing I did was unroot so now I'm stock and stuck.

So, I turned my phone off to charge it one night and realized I left my charger in the car. My G2x charger was still in my room. So, I plugged it in. To my surprise, instead of charging my phone, it put my GS2 into download mode.
So, now instead of messing with the buttons trying to get it right, I just turn my phone off, plug it into that charger and then plug it into my computer to use with Odin.
I have no idea why it does this, but hey, I kind of like it.
And, that is my dumb story for the day.

Maybe a pin configuration diff in the charger. That's about the only thing I can think of that may be able to pull it off. Good to know. Thanks
I would not trust using a wierd cable in Odin, good thing it didn't disconnect or anything during the flash or you could of very well bricked the device
just words of caution

that would man it is basically like a jig, forcing DL mode without actually initiating it
which would make it really cool

I use my GS2 cable for Odin. Just use the G2x cable for getting into download mode.

I semi-bricked my device for a few minutes because my Computer froze when I was updating to 2.3.6 and it shut down Odin. Sooo happy I got it fixed

Weird. I wonder why mine doesn't. Do you use it with the phone off?
My g2x charger does the same. There have been threads on it already.
Here's one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314284
This also means that we now can have a jig for bricked phones, right? Figure out what's the pin configuration that forces it into download mode?

My dog bit mine, at the LG sign. It turned it into a jig.
That means no more Odin, and no more USB drag & drop transfer
tried in CWR mode mount
tried mounting normally
tried on several Win 7 machines (comes up as Unknown device)
tried on several Linux machines (it no longer gets detected)
i'm unable to do USB on the Go anymore, it was able to before
the problem started after i pluged in MHL adapter to HDMI
it still works on HDMI if i plug in the MHL
but, i can't find a way to reverse it
i tried even Wiping Data, Wiping DalviK, and Wiping Cache
i even tried flashing a new ROM in CWR
Dude that sux. It still charge tho? And computer?
Have you tried a different computer?
Nevermind im a retard.....

i know a few guys had similar issues here before about losing USB or it not longer being detected
i just wanted to compare notes, and see if they also had this happened after doing something with he MHL adapter or something else.
yeah, it kinda sucks now, i won't be able to depend on Odin to save me any more

the Note is not stable in Tmo, i can't use it as a phone yet, not reliable enough
i also had the same problem on the Note after trying the HDMI on it
however on the Note i can still do USB on the Go
Yesterday my computer was not reading my device either, but after a reboot it was good to go.

that's definitely not it, as i'm in a computer lab, i have access to over a dozen computers & laptops of all sizes to test, and i pointed that out already on the OP message
try with different usb cables, it might solve that problem.
Did you super wipe? Also, try a USB jig to get into download.

i've no problem getting into Download mode
but the computer wont detect it when it's plugged in
as in, it does not turn yellow or green in Odin
on the USB driver it doesn't change to the ADB something something (forgot the full name)

unfortunately, i do not have another USB to microUSB cable at my disposal, nor does any of my co-workers
i have a good collection at home, so... i'm hoping one of them can save me else the USB port really got damaged by the HDMI thingy
Good luck with that...hopefully all u need is a cable

hopefully it's just the cable. Also, if you have spare Nokia CA-101D usb cable, try with that. It might work.

Hopefully, that's what it is. I had the same problem with my Transformer. It would charge, but comps wouldn't recognize it through USB. It was solved by purchasing a new cable.
While not exactly the same, since the Transformer has a proprietary port, it seems to be a problem with integrated charging/data cables being used today. The internal wires that carry the data fail, but the power wires remain functional.

are you using the official mhl adapter or something cheaper from ebay?

I had the exact same thing happen. Mine was also the USB cable. Go to ebay and order a few. I paid 10 bucks for 3 OEM samsung cables

Update
It was indeed the HTC USB cable that decided to quit on me
the faithful servant has been with me since like forever... oh well, at least it still can retire as a charging only cable. (gonna sort out the pins to get it to be detected as AC cable instead of USB csble)
tried the original one from Samsung and another one from BlackBerry and they both work fine, even the cheap generic ones from China

I had the same problem with my HTC cable and I called HTC and they replaced it with another one without asking me to return the old one..I was still under manufacturer warranty.. I called Samsung the other day and asked if my cable died on me will they replace it.. They said yes, but I will have to send in the old one first so they can check it before sending me another one.. See how different company do things..crazy.

So I have been looking through all of the Q & As and ive noticed many issues with phones getting stuck in certain steps while rooting, updating or other times when we are required to plug our phones into the USB Ports.
Well I had the same issue a few nights ago, literally spent all night.trying to solve it and getting help from various users here.
one solution presented to me was to use a different USB cord in my case I was using a blackberry branded USB cord which I had bought off of Ebay, I switched to an OEM Tmobile My Touch 4G Slide cable and voila! Issues solved!
I had issues rooting and updating my S2 & also an Infuse 4G
So apparently not all micro USB cables are made the same.
Sorry if this was posted in the wrong section...
Mods excuse me if it was.
In closing with any and all issues while connected to your computer try using a different USB cable preferably OEM

Its true. Some USB cables are much better than others. Especially OEM ones.
I've had the same issue before. Thanks for sharing!

The mytouch 4g cable might present issues as well.,I have one and any time I use it
My battery% gets froze at 100% until I reset it couple times or couple hours later it'll drop from 100 to 70%.

I think that's the problem with the charger outlet part. I think. Not exactly sure, but from what i read... That's usually the problem

I believe that too, since ive had no issues at all with mytouch cable.
Like I said I think the only issue is the fact that some cables are not USB 2.0 so as long as you are certain that your cable is USB 2.0 youll be good

I had a really weird issue with some USB cables. Some times it wouldn't show mass storage but it would charge through the computer BUT if I slowly put the mini USB wire into the phone at an angle the mass storage would pop up. I was literally tweaking when I soft bricked my phone and the computer wouldn't recognize it in download mode. Kept trying to reinstall the drivers come to find out it was the cable the whole time.

Can you elaborate more on how it's not working? (Doesn't charge, doesn't hook up to PC, etc?) Sounds silly but the answer to this might change what you get back from others as far as advice.
Does not hookup to PC charges fine.

Then your usb cable is working. Do you have the proper drivers installed on your pc? Is it the usb port on the pc? Do the basic trouble shooting.
Its USB port and i'm sure something its wrong with it

My phone thinks it's charging all the time and will randomly connect to USB storage when it's not hooked to a PC. I was on cm9. J flashed el26 with clockwork, restored nandroid , and flashed a pulled stock kernel with stock recovery. Then used z4root apk to remove root. Took it back to Sprint and they ordered me a replacement white phone (mine was black, purchased on launch day.)

Hey guys sorry for the noob question but I'm pretty worried here cus last time this happened to me everything went straight to crap.
I plug my phone in to my laptop and turn on mass storage so I can copy files from my computer to my phone but it keeps saying that my phone malfunctioned and that windows does not recognize it.
Is there something I can do to solve this?
Thanks guys.

Try different cords, a different usb port on your computer and make sure drivers are installed
Also wrong forum this should be in q&a
Drivers are installed unless they were changed in the past few months. I only have the cable it came with and trying different ports gave me the same message.

Samsung cables usually aren't the best try buying an HTC or blackberry cable.
Drivers get corrupted very easily. Delete and let them reinstall with a good cable.
