Not syncing with Computer anymore. HELP!

Ok, my phone was getting low on battery and started going haywire. I charged and reflashed the rom but now my phone wont sync with my comp after trying numerous things. It was the truly epic rebirth rom.
Any idea what might have happened? I tred different usb cables, rebooting drivers but nothing. The phone still charges but no syncing. Is there a internal driver in the phone that syncs the phone that might have been corrupted?
BTW I posted this to impalers747 Q/A thread but we seemed to be stumped to. Thanks for tryin yogi and impaler747 but I figure more people might see this if I make a thread and someone might of had a similar issue.

Odin back to DK28 and reflash the ROM. There might be another way, but that is what I would do.

When you put your phone in download mode, Odin doesn't see it? (Not trying to sound sarcastic, just making sure I get where you are at)

I haven't done this, but you should be able to use CW to flash your phone back to the stock ROM and then go from there. Here is a link for an older thread that discussed it and has links to the stock ROM. I am hoping you can get into CW, and if you can you should be able to flash from your sd card

You still should be able to. I think this would fix your problem. And you can always use CW to get back to a rooted DK28 instead of using one click root. Or, if you haven't already tried, you could wipe and try a different ROM. The sync could just be a DK28 issue and a different ROM might have what makes it work.

Hopefully you nandroid your device?

I had a problem with connecting my device to my laptop. My laptop would never see my phone but odin was still able to see it with some playing around. This happened to me on di18. In order for me to get back to dk28 I had to odin the extended tar so I had root and everything.
Before trying to odin I cleaned out the micro usb port on the phone with a q-tip tabed in rubing achole. I even switched to my girls blackberry charger. I no longer have issues even when using my samsung cable but I try to use either my evo or her blackberry cable. Before doing any of this I suggest uninstalling and re-installing the proper drivers.

Ill try and clean it out but even odin wont read it but the damn thing still charges. I even went to sprint to check it out on there comp but im guessing they didnt have the drivers installed as most of them didnt have too much knowledge on rooting and flashing.
i tried reinstalling drivers about 5 times lol

quick question 4 u guys before i take the plunge on stocking back the epic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864348
based on post 9 I would just
1: flash the dk18 modem?
2: then flash the stock rom?
3. remove cwm?
does that make sense?
I mean I would want to keep cwm till the end just incase something goes haywire and I can restore

all aborted? hmm it says that it can not install due to the ext4 script

What ext4 script? Stock di18 and stock dk28 don't have ext4. So if you are on plain jane dk28, then you aren't on ext4. And if you are going to di18, you aren't converting to ext4.

I had ext4 script otherwise i wouldnt been able to install those new roms before the update. Im not sure what to do from here now since I'm back to stock backup and rom manager doesnt work for ****

usb issues

So I've tried connecting my phone to several computers and they all end up saying that the device is not recognized. Because of this, I can't even odin my phone to stock or anything else. So I can't exactly call sprint or samsung about it. It was working fine up until just now. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Did you download the Samsung driver ?
Simply AOSP 3.1.1

Yes, sounds like your data cable is going bad. Grab another one. Palm Pre or Blackberry has heavy duty cables. Heard there was a good one for $2 on Amazon. Get fresh drivers from Samsung's site or from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
Hope this helps.

Yea I've gotten the right drivers. Right now, I'm in the process of doing root and flashing roms without a computer... using rom manager. Maybe a new rom will fix it. I'm going to order a new data cable and hope that will work.

I've tried 4 different cables on multiple computers. Mine says USB not recognized as well. How do you root and flash roms with rom manager???

Hey man, same thing was happening to me, I ended up bricking my epic with the stock cord, but I grabbed my brothers evo cord, and worked first try, dump the stock cable definitely.

I used this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062395
Also, instead of using cwm 2.x, you can go the development forum and get the new cwm and flash that instead, just make the necessary adjustments (i.e. when flashing using ROM manager, tap 3.x instead of 2.x etc. etc.)
I am now running gingerbread on here. And I am going to try a new cable that I ordered later this week.

I think i bricked my epic.

I was angry at my current rom which was on MTD so i decided just to you the old samsung "phone flash utility" (Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe) that was uploaded on their site like a year ago to go back to stock. well i think since the phone was MTD it didnt work and now its stock at the connect cable screen, is there anything i can do?

I am running CleanGB MTD. The first time I tried to install it I had a bad download & needed to redo it from scratch. I used the Samsung EB13 Windows Installer utility to restore my phone back to stock & had no problems at all. It was up & running on MTD just had a few errors that I did not have time to fix that morning & I ran it for a few days after restoring with the utility, rooting, & restoring my backup. But now I'm enjoying the MTD goodness.....
Can you get back into download mode?
If so I would get a different USB cable & try running the installer again.

from what ive been reading on the threads, i believe you can just odin back, and back sure you have reboot and re-partition checked marked.

I found out what the problem was. I should have known this because this happened to me once before. I was using my front USB ports. Front ports on most pc's are only 1.0 and you need to use the back 2.0 ones to work. Most people think its cable issues but its usually just USB port. This samsung utility is a complete gem! screw odin. thanks for the response!!!

thanks guys. Yeah ive been using that sammy file since ec05 came out. this is the 3rd brick maybe 4th it got me out of. it works for EVERYTHING. better than odin.

Wow, I didn't know this exe thing existed. Odin has NOT been working on my home PC for tje past few weeks(months?) and that has kept me from trying anything that would require Odin to recover from, i.e. mtd.
Glad I read here in the Q&A pretty regularly. Most of the time I'm seeing if there's anyone I can help, but times like this I end up learning new things.

I am at work so I cannot post the file I have, but I put the file name in & searched in Google & several download options popped up.
Google Search: Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe
Check it out & let me know if you need me to post a copy of the file, I saw several already on services like multiupload in the search.

So my friend gave me his phone to see if I could fix it. It loops in CWM and won't get out of it and I can't connect with odin to it. (My phone connects just fine.) This is the only other thing I can think of. Anyone else got other ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------
Well tried it and phone still not discovered by the PC. I am at a loss at what to do. I know my friend tried to install some type of rom to it and didn't make a backup. It boots in to CWM non-stop and I can flash zips but it never leaves that loop even after the flashes. I can boot into Download mode but the phone won't be recognized. Tried both Odin and this. The phone is getting charged through the cable though which confuses me even more. Any help?!

Anyone have any ideas?! I am at a loss at what to do!

Use a different cable with odin... it may be charging it but its not getting a data connection... also put into download mode and plug in usb... then "jiggle" the cord until it recognizes it...

Uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Then also try Odin with the battery and phone plugged in. Make sure you use a better cable than stock.

odin fail sytem.img.ext4

I had a beautifully running dlk3 at&t SGH-I747. had problems with battery so I flashed odin to stock DLK3. then I took the OTA from at&t and let it complete. at the end I told cwm not to let it lose root or lock boot loaders, I answered 2 questions about preserving root and secured or some thing like that. rebooted and I have the jb4.1.2 . all good.
you know I gotta see if I am missing out on any thing by using cwm to preserve root ect.
so I start over clean DLK3 take the OTA form At&t . this time I have cwm not interfear. ok great i'm jb 4.1.2 again works good.
I used CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747 and now I get fail at system. as you can tell i'm still learning and learning my lessons, but if some one could direct me to what step I should try i'd appreciate it.
edit:
after I tries keis to fix it it failed and after a battery pull and retrying odin to DLK3 stock. open oden , plug phone in com does not light up but it lists the top 0 failed threads. so I un plug and plug in and retry DLK3 and end up taking screen shots
I have lost my recovery all together I only have download mode

Start with the basics...try a different micro usb/usb cable. Then if that doesn't work, try a different usb port on the pc. Don't use a hub. Make sure the phone's micro usb port is clean of debris, as well check the ends of the cable and usb port to make sure they are clean.
The cable is usually the cause of the failure in urs and other similar instances. :thumbup:

thankx for your reply I broke out the original usb cable and tried different portsand stilo the same.
I here searching the forums now looking for a clue as what to do to get my stock recovery back.

Just for giggles, try using Odin v3.07. Several people say the version your using is ok, but I've always used 3.07 on the s3 with no problems.

that's the version I'm using. I found a pit file reset it and got a recovery flashed. it allows flashing from external storage, but when I try to do that it sends me to the internal storage where I cannot put a file yet.
I'm thinking about sending it to get jtag repaired but then I wouldn't have gotten to fix it my self.
as I know see I flashed cf auto root on locked boot loaders ( the method of checking for locked boot loaders I used was dumb) and I got bit.
can any one tell me of how they handled this?
thankx

Bootloaders on this device, I747/m, are not locked, afaik. And the screen shot you posted was from Odin 1.81.
---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------
Try flashing lg1 stock, not rooted. It will o wipe your internal sd, but may get you fixed up. Lg1 is the only full wipe stock package we have.

oh crap i now know what happened. th file that had odin 1.81 in it. i knew better but it was in the pre packaged auto root for the at&t sgh-I747.
after you pointing out i didn't use the rite one for the auto root (even tho i uves 3.07 sgs3 odin rite after i didn't notice that i used 1.81.
thats why i posted the errors in full scren shot just ncase i did some thing stupid hopping some one would point it out.
so i can get in to download and if i work at it i can now get into a buggy but usable stock recovery.
i was using stock not rooted DLK3 from the same place as the Lg1. i tried but still only barley alive.... but i believe i can fix it. no proof yet tho.
i already bought a brand new sgh-I747 off of swappa and it will be here about the 9th. so now i have time to fix it. it'll be a project / testing phone.
now that i know that the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963790&highlight=autoroot where i downloaded http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ sgh-I747 file using odin 1.81 packed in with it, and followed all the instructions.
i am using odin 3.07 galaxy 3 odin.
can any one help me on what i could do with my testing phone to fix it if i can adb in?
and suggestions will be considered.
i don't post much. i'm a reader but i had to speak out as i'm running out of options.
i read this forum more than the news. i'm always a little behind the development thats going on and i follow as a student.

Stuck in boot loop with no USB option

I just inherited a t-mobile phone that was rooted. I installed the latest version of TWRP and tried to re-root it but now it's in a boot loop and on top of that I can't connect the phone to a computer b/c I get the "USB Device Not Recognized" message. I've re-installed the drivers and I've tried the toothpick trick. Nothing is working. What are my options?

First, I believe this is the correct section - the phone I am working with is a T-Mobile Galaxy S II... Second, I can't Odin because I don't have a working usb connection. I've tried several different ROMS from this fine section and I get the same result... Boot Loop

If you flashed TWRP 2.6.3, that's your problem.
Flash 2.6.1

This is the wrong section because it has nothing to do with ROM development.
With that being said if you can still boot into twrp you still have hope. Try loading a different ROM into an SD card using a converter and slide back in the phone to properly wipe first then re flash.
I don't understand why you can't get a proper USB connection going but above suggestion may solve it.

Just to confirm a few things: where do you not have the working USB connection? in download mode? If so, I'd try reinstalling the drivers.
Also, I see in your sig that you state your phones are:
Asus Nexus 7
Sprint Galaxy Note 2
Neither of which is a SGH-T989. Are you sure you are flashing the correct ROM/Kernel for your device?
also you said it came rooted but you re-rooted it. What process did you use to re-root it?
One last thing: you say you got it second hand, are you sure it is a T-Mobile galaxy S 2? May want to check under the battery for a "T989" or "i9100". The i9100 is NOT a T-Mobile galaxy S 2. It should be SGH-T989 if they didn't give you incorect info about the phone.
You could also try a different USB cable or hub. I've had USB extension cables give me grief and the front ports on my PC don't like my phone.

It is a genuine SGH-T989 I checked under the battery.

Let it sit on the TeamWin screen for a minute or so... I find it sometimes takes a little bit.
If it doesn't ever get past there, try hooking it up to a PC and see if you can get ADB to load (presuming you have ADB installed and ADB drivers installed). If you can, try to do an "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" and a "adb logcat > logcat.txt" and zip those up and toss them on here.
If you CAN'T get into adb, I would try hooking the phone up to Kies and see if it will do anything for you.
Or you could try following this guide as you have the T-Mobile SGH-T989 (not the Telus SGH-T989D):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359
BUT make sure to grab the correct stock image file for whatever version your android currently is (ie if you are on Android 2.3.6, then make sure to get the T-mobile KL1 2.3.6 stock image).
Also, what ROM did you flash? was it a 4.3 ROM? If so, did you update your radio before you flashed the ROM? I think 4.1+ needs the updated radio to function properly.
I know you said you can't connect through ODIN, but I'm hoping it is because of some odd driver or odd ODIN version. That thread has the stuff to make it all work I believe.
I'm really hoping you can get ADB to work. If you can pull a logcat of your bootup process, it will be much easier to figure out what went wrong.

I'm really hoping you can get ADB to work. If you can pull a logcat of your bootup process, it will be much easier to figure out what went wrong.

You guys are great!!! I really appreciate all the help. No matter what I do, ADB, Kies, different cables, different computers, nothing gets past the "USB Device Not Recognized" pop up. I let it sit for 15 minutes, twice. Still no love... I loaded TWRP_2.6.1.0_Hercules and then reboot and that's when it got stuck. Prior to that I had loaded TMobileT989UVMC6RootedDeodexed Rom. I forget where I got it. I'm pretty sure it was a 4.1.2 based rom.

weird... I am not sure why it is being so fussy with your phone.
Hopefully somebody has a better suggestion than I do, but my next thought is to try ebay-ing the phone in hopes that somebody gives you a few bucks for it. It sounds to me like the internal memory module is dying and the USB port is shot.
Is your water damage sticker pink/red or missing? It should be under the battery.
I hate thinking that the phone is just dead, but without being able to connect it to the PC in either recovery or download mode and not being able to boot into a ROM or recovery, I think the next step is to scrap it and hope somebody can send you a few bucks... or if you have experience soldering, maybe try replacing the USB connector?
I could be wrong mind you... The only time I had issues like that it was due to a badly flashed recovery and I needed to use ODIN to get back up and running. As a thought, do you have a Windows XP 32-bit computer you could try plugging the phone into? And while the phone is plugged in, can you check device manager for all devices? maybe try installing the drivers manually? I suggest windows XP 32bit because that is what I use the majority of the time with my phone. I've also used Windows 7 64-bit and it worked.

Thanks again for your time and suggestions... I've always been very impressed with the xda community. I actually got this phone, used, from Swappa. And I am in the process of returning it for a refund. But the seller is being difficult and is trying to stick me with the phone. I was just trying to salvage it on my own, just in case... Thanks again.

that sucks. I've heard good things about Swappa, but living in Canada I can't use it. My opinion it sounds like you got a dud and based on how hard the guy is fighting to not give you a refund, I wouldn't be surprised if he knew it was doa and just fluked out and get it running before he sold it. Or maybe it got water damaged and he knew it would fail soon so he sold it before it completely quit.
I hope you get it all sorted out.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
