Hi,
I have an AT&T i927. The usb doesn't work, but I can charge it.
Is it possible to update it with custom rom or official rom without usb functionality? I would like to update to Ics when available.
thankx to all.

Can you clarify "The usb doesn't work"? Have you turned on USB Debugging?

download Samsung Mobile drivers......
The problem isn't driver or debug mode.
I think I broke the usb plug because I pull the cable with phone attached. So I'd like to know if there is a way to update wiithout usb connection.
Thank you.

On my previous phone, I recall using marketplace to install Rom Manager (either OTA or Wifi), then using ROM Manager to install CWM (Again OTA or Wifi). I'm pretty sure I had root already, though I do not recall for certain. I do know I was pleased and surprised to get a custom recovery that worked (Had to watch the bootloader versions, USB was very handy for that. Updating a bootloader could kill recovery, so USB would then be critical to putting the old bootloader back on the phone until a newer CWM became available)!
Once I had Clockwork Mod (CWM) installed as my recovery, most of my flashing was done without USB.
Here's a thread for the Glide and CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458153
Apply Update (or other .zip file) from SD is the key function you need. Catastrophic recovery of a bootloader may not be possible w/o USB though.

I currently rooted using the latest version of the Sons of Android ROM. Last night I made a back-up of it and flashed the Synergy ROM to test it for a friend. When I restored my back-up, I could no longer connect to the computer. I tried to reinstall the drivers through Kies and also direct from Samsung. The phone charges when connect to the USB port, but does not connect. I have tried two computer so I think it is the phone.
I search the forums and didnt find anything that help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

I can not find any fast charge setting. I am starting to worry that I might have damaged the phone. I hope I just need to re-flash a driver or something.
Thank you!
make sure you're using the factory cable for the device.
try another USB port, preferably a port directly connected to the computers motherboard.
delete the current USB drivers for your phone on the computer. reboot it. in task manager, stop any kies background processes. reinstall drivers. reboot and see if that takes.

Did you make a nandroid of the previous rom ? Flash back to that . Flashing any rom made for the NA version of the Galaxy s3 will NOT brick your phone. NO physical damage will happen in any way.
Yes check the cord to make sure its not that....samsung phones are picky....even with the same cord.
Fast charge is usually in the kernel settings menu. It will be something you would had to enable, I've never seen it come enabled on a rom. What kernel are you on ? I don't think you see that setting on TW based rom's anyway ( I assume you are on SoA right now?)
Have you tried to do a complete wipe and flash another rom ?

I have a nandroid of my stock (after rooted) ROM, but it is on my computer now, not on the phone so I cant access it. I also had a nandroid of Sons of Android that was connecting just fine before I flashed Synergy ROM. I restored the Sons of Android ROM (nandroid) that was still on my external SD card and that didnt fix it.
I just did a complete wipe (Cache, Davlik Cache, System, Factory Reset, and Internal Memory), then installed the Wicked ROM with the stock kernel. It still doesnt work.
I tried two different cord on two different computers with no luck.
Thank you!

USB Debugging is currently enabled, but I have tried it both ways.
I also am noticing my data connection is really, really slow, much slower than normal. I looked under the Synergy ROM and there was some talk of needing to reflash modem and bluetooth when reverting to a stock kernel. Could this be the problem?
Thanks!
You could try mobile Odin and flash the rooted stock that way... Its a shot
You have to use a .tar file though

Last night I flashed the KT747 kernel because it has updated USB drivers, but it still didnt work.
I still have to believe that something went wrong when flashing the other night because that is when it stop work, but I am starting to think it is a hardware issue. It is very wierd!

When is use the *#7284#, I get the UART section that is on PDA and I cant change it.
Under the USB section I have button that says "Qualcomm USB Settings" with a whole punch of options:

MTP + ADB
PTP

RNIS + DM + MODEM
RMNET + DM + MODEM

You should have two options, MODEM and PDA. Mine is set to MODEM.
Still no luck! Very Frustrating!
I used Mobile Odin to flash back completely to stock, and the usb still would not connect. I do not know what else to do. I will have to remove the SD Card and use a card reader for now. I can flash back to stock when if I want to take it in and get it fixed or replaced.

did u already try another cable, I had over 5 cables that suddenly stopped working for no reason, only charges but it doesn't connect to the pc..
so try another cable is my suggestion.
UPDATED**** 1-23-2014
The USB issue was due to the port malfunctioning. I ordered a replacement part via Ebay for about 7 bucks and fixed it. Now I have PC access. As far as in updating the firmware...after 12 failed attempts via AT&T I just manually did it via Odin and now it is updated. Thanks for everyone trying to help me out. Hated it was a hardware issue and not just a tech/Soft problem :/
The past week I have noticed my Note 2 charging slower than normal. Sometimes randomly disconnecting and connecting when plugged into the ac adaptor. I figured it could have been the cable or the adaptor itself...so I replaced it. It seemed to work...but then it was acting buggy again. Then...lastnight I noticed when I was wanting to transfer a few file from my laptop to the phone...it would charge the phone but would not allow it to connect to the file system at all. I scoured the net for solutions and tried just about everything I could find...as well as the more simpler options as try a different cable...but nothing worked. I also tried it on 2 other laptops...no luck.
My phone was rooted...but never used a custom rom and so I decided to just unroot and do a clean slate in case there was something that borked. Everything went smooth...but now, after doing the unroot and factory reset...the usb still charges...but no connection at all. I went through all the settings and set them as they should and nada. On top of that while I do have my phone service...I have no data at all. I have called att and they were no help. Samsung passed me off to android customer service and they were no help. So now what can I do?
Problems:
-No mobile data available
-No USB to PC file transfer ability (kies air works...but not usb to pc)
-I also cannot update past 4.1.1. The updater says I can check again in 24 hours....lol
Ok...so I fixed one issue already. Found a solution to the mobile data network issue. It would appear that due to the factory reset...it lost all of the APN info for linking with at&t. I found how to restore it here: http://forums.att.com/t5/Android-Di...-Phone-APN-Settings/td-p/3467513#.Ustjil8e-Co

Try installing Samsung Kies on your computer and updating your drivers.
Or try a different cord it might be a bad cord.

Didn't think about trying that. I just attempted though and no luck either
This is irritating because ever since I unrooted and restored to original fw the usb charge works perfectly fine...no longer cutting in and out like it used too. But just cannot connect to the PC via USB for file transfers. Kies works fine doing that...but USB is no long an option

Yes...no luck
So I did a factory reset again just in case...still the same issues. USB will charge...but no connect. Kies and PC will not see it. Only kies air works. On top of that I have now attempted to update the firmware via at&t through settings and it fails EVERY time. It downloads 100% and after reboot and goes into at&t installation it always fails at 24 or 25%. 5 times in a row...for 5 days is ridiculous. Any more ideas?
At this stage I wish I could re-root it and then flash the original stock rom again to make sure that it didn't bork the first time. But I cant I'm assuming because I need to be able to connect via USB. Am I wrong? Am I wasting my time?

Since USB is charging. Can you check under device manager, what name it is showing for your device? May be you are missing drivers therefore your phone is not recognized by PC.

It doesn't show anything. The only thing that stops the phone charging when I disable or uninstall is what is labeled Renesas electronics USB 3.o root hub and host controller. 2 separate items. BUT...its not plugged into a 3.0 port anyway...even though in the past it has worked fine...for over a year no less. I have uninstalled that item...as well as uninstall the Samsung drivers before...rebooted while phone is NOT plugged in...re-installed the Samsung drivers...then plugged the phone back in and it still doesn't work. Still charges...and the item comes back...but no usb to pc file exploring capabilities. Same for other computers too. Have tried another computer as well...one that my phone has never plugged into. It charges...but no connectivity. The computers just don't even see it for some reason.
Is there a way I can root the phone without USB to pc support? I'm hoping to try and update it once rooted with ODIN.
You don't need root access to flash a stock rom. I was having usb-charging issues, and a return to stock 4.1.1 cured the issue. I replaced the USB board but that didn't fix it. So, stock would be my advice.
You could put the stock package on your SD card using an adaptor and your PC. But I don't know if you have a custom recovery.

My only thing is I have no usb to pc file sharing capabilities unless I use Kies Air. Otherwise I cannot. I have tried now 8 times so far to update the phone and I cannot. It downloads fine...but upon rebooting to install it fails everytime at 24 to 25%. All I want to do is update the phone. It is a simple as that.
Take your SD card out of your phone.
Put it in an adapter.
Put that in a PC with an SD card slot.
Copy the stock ROM to the SD card.
Remove the SD card from the PC and adaptor, then insert it in your phone.
Boot into recovery and flash the ROM.

When you say boot into recovery...are you talking about where I load rom from sd card...adb or something like that? And...can I do this for 4.3? I have 4.1.1 already. I was trying to update to 4.1.2 to see if it will fix the usb issue as well as the updating issue. But if I just had the 4.1.2 and flashed it would that do the same thing as updating?
My headphone jack and USB are screwed (slow charging mode and no USB mount of any kind) and I need to send the phone in for service. Is there a way to return to the stock ROM by another means? OTA perhaps? (How to force it?) Or maybe there is a .zip file of the stock ROM somewhere that can be installed in recovery mode like custom ROMs? All I have found so far are kdz/tot files which are meant to be installed using LG Flash tool.
I can wifi connect LG PC Suite but that is practically worthless for this kind of thing since all of this kind of functionality is unavailable over wifi.
For reference I have a D855 16gb with Chupachups 2.4 installed and the recovery is TWRP.
Cheers.

Is it a manufacturer warranty service or carrier insurance?
I had the same issue with my LGG2 it was a hardware issue so they did not care that my phone was rooted and running a custom ROM
they fixed my usb port without any questions
.
It's the LG warranty in Turkey. I have no idea whether they care or not. They might use it to get out of doing anything. Perhaps I should remove TWRP (it should be possible?) and bork the OS so they have to put STOCK on it first.
This is practically a cry for help after i searched for hours.

Never been OTA updated to lollipop OE1? That one doesn't allow downgrading to older versions.
Device not recognized with USB in what mode and operation? Security protocols for KitKat and Lollipop are restricted. Device should be recognized in custom recovery or download mode. Did you try Odin? Power down, download mode and flash the NK2 stock tar. If you're still having problems ##786#. Still having issues, try the NIE stock tar. Make sure you power down before flashing stock tars. Link to KitKat tars mentioned above; follow OP, post 1 for instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56853341
For root, you need CF Auto Root for Note 4. You can also try TWRP Manager for custom recovery. It's in Google Play. But you don't have to root to flash in Odin. Samsung KIES is alternate method for restoring factory firmware or updates but some are confused by the serial number request; not recognized. Haven't tried it myself.

Tx for the reply.
Device is not recognized in neither mode (normal, download or recovery).
I tried ##786# but i dont know my msl and i cant find a wy to get it (im outside the US so the phone is not activated). I tried some "msl reader find my msl" programs but they cant get it. Any1 has some apk that may work in my case?
As for the flashing as I stated all I need is a way to flash stock but i cant get the PC to recognize the phone so im stuck.
EDIT 1 As far as I know never been updated (bought the phone in ebay)
I don't know if there's anything that can be done but get a refund. Sounds like you bought a brick. Was it always a brick?
Did you try another USB port? Try the rear port. If not, try a hard reset: wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset and try to reboot. Long shot would be a hard reset and OB7 update.zip; unless it's completely stock, the update will be rejected. But I'm thinking that can no longer just be placed on external sdcard. That may have to placed on the file system as if the phone downloaded it, itself.
It's safer to hard reset. If not rebooting to normal operation, time to pursue a refund.

So I was thinking about the situation you're in. I recalled the phone can be unlocked to use internationally on 3G only. Is it unlocked? It would also
need to set your carrier APN/Access points to get data.
If you own the phone, Sprint will give you the MSL number. Sprint can help unlock it and there's also this method but I don't know much about about it. There's also the hard reset method that can be done within settings.
Here's a method that was requested with a pledged bounty. But try Sprint first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250
My initial impression was phone is bricked but not sure if a locked phone's WiFi is bound to regional USA that would cause WiFi connection issues? It's still possible the USB issue is not using a USB 2.0 port or a bad cable. It may not be bricked. Try reinstalling driver and/or another PC.

Well I tried everything u mentioned , full factory restore, wipe everything.

I didn't think the root is possible without Odin for either the custom recovery or root.
eBay return practice would be to notify seller of issue. If no response, contact eBay.

Wouldnt the entire phone be soft-bricked (not just the network part) if you did the factory reset and wiped your phone but cant get the cable to recognize your phone on your pc ???
Or is that your current situation?
Well everything but network works. I can install apk's from sdcard, open apps etc. Next thing is the screen just got black and is not giving signs of life (didn't do anything it was charging) so it's going in a repair shop. Thanks everyone for the efforts. Case may be considered closed.

I've been using cm13 for the a5dwg on my phone for a while now and it's been working perfect, however I had an older version of TWRP, it was 2.8.0.4 ( I think) and I wanted to update it to 3.02 (or whatever the latest is). And when I went to update it, me being a silly goose, I accidentally flashed it to the boot partition and thought I bricked my device. I decided to wipe all storage partitions and reflash my rom and then use adb to update twrp. That seemed to work, and everything on my phone now works as it once did, EXCEPT it no longer reads any USB I plug into it. Before updating twrp and wiping, my phone would get a notification when plugging a usb in and I could then explore the files, however my phone no longer responds to usbs what so ever. Even in recovery it shows an option that says USB OTG but whenever I click on it, it does nothing. This is a really big annoyance because I used this option to easily flash nightlies and other files. Did wiping one of my partitions somehow break the usb otg? or was it updating the recovery that did so? Is there anyway I can fix this?
Sorry for the long and probably somewhat hard to understand post, but I've searched everywhere and cannot find anything about my problem. Any advice/input is greatly appreciated.
Have you developer option enabled and within it USB debugging?

I've never been able to get that to work on my A5chl. Stock or otherwise.
