Computer won't recognize phone! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I know this may be a beaten topic, but I think my case is special.
I lost my usb cable so I borrowed my brothers.
He has an HTC Desire Z, and he can do adb and all that stuff just fine with his HTC USB cable.
I tried to install the USB drivers for my phone onto my laptop, but when I used the cable, my computer won't even recognize that hardware is plugged in. There is no "device not recognized" or stuff like that. It doesn't even register there is a device attached. I tried adb devices and it doesn't list it.
I was installing PDAnet and it got to the part where it waited for me to plug in the phone, which I did, into practically every single USB port, but the computer won't register that a device has been plugged in.
Yes, I have debugging on. Yes, I can charge my galaxy nexus with that cable.
What gives? Do I actually have to use a Samsung specific USB cable?

I have an HTC cable from my Evo 4G, that worked on that device, my G2, and my Galaxy Nexus for charging, ADB, Fastboot, everything.

Sounds like a driver issue, download the latest galaxy nexus drivers from the Samsung website
I think it was this from a while ago..

The link above doesn't work. Does anyone have a link for a canadian/us website? I went here:
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/d...9250M&srchword=Galaxy Nexus™ | GT-I9250TSMBMC
But i couldn't find where the link driver was anywhere.
EDIT: Downloaded and installed Samsung Kies, but when I plugged in my phone, it still didn't pop up a thing saying a device has been found T.T

bump?

Your USB plug, or the micro end on the phone..very sensitive right there I hate it, and try switching ports on the compt'r. I am on my 4th USB chord from sprint?
Flash away!lol
Also with device connected go into control panel, device manager, find samsung Android under other or in USB ports. Click it and click update drivers...may take 20 minutes or so to get all the drivers from Windows Update.

Did you get the drivers from Samsung or some place else?
Uninstall your drivers and download this

Link is broken.
My drivers failed to install but I am still able to flash it and access my memory card with the usb cable. I tried the samsung drivers directly from there site, also tried others from links in the forum all to no luck. Just let the computer do its thing when you first plug it in, reboot and then try to do what you want.

since you install the drivers into multiple computers and tested them all... it might be your phone.
First can you give more detail on what happens when you plug your phone in? Does your computer make any sounds or searches anything?
ALSO Try installing kies.
if that doesn't work either... looks like you need a warranty exchange
Try using an oem Samsung usb to micro usb cable. I had this problem with my Samsung Galaxy Epic a while back. Everytime I used a generic cable lying around my computer would not recognize my phone. When I used a Samsung cable it worked. Your computer should automatically identify your phone using the right cable. If not re-install them and don't forget to restart your computer before attempting to connect to your computer again. Good luck.
I've had this problem too.
Initially I had kies installed and had to launch the program to access the two 'mounted' removable drives.
I assume the drives mount, but you can't access the drives?
If that's the case, look on the phone and pull down the status bar and check to see if it sees the USB connection. Select that, and allow it to connect as USB storage.
thanks guys for all the quick response.
The problem seem to fix itself. After removing and attaching the USB cable a number of times, the PC suddenly recognized the phone.
I don't know what fixed it.
Now, I can proceed to root my phone!

you probably didn't give it enough time for the pc to actually install the needed components.. it takes a good 5-10 mins for everything to finish installing
I'm faced with the same problem. Only different is, as soon as it shows connect to usb from the notification bar if goes away. I tried the usb tool in wireless but still wont work. I tried the samsung cable as well
know it sounds dumb, but have you rebooted lately? mine wouldnt recognize the sd card when plugged into comp....rebooted....all is well

Did you use the same port? Also make sure you are not using a hub or extension cable.
DL Drivers from Samsung/Delete USB Hubs in Dev Mgr
I actually had the same problem. It took me a while, and I'm not sure I totaly understand why, but this is what I think I did:
I had an EVO 4G and it had been rooted on the same PC, so just plugging the phone in using that cable, the PC (Win 7) kept seeing an Android phone (Generic). I uninstalled via Device Manager all USB Root Hub (Found this in another post), and rebooted.
When I plugged the phone back in, again it came up as generic Android. I deleted that, scanned for HW changes, and installed drivers from Samsung web site.
Still couldn't get Odin to see my phone, so I switched cables to the OEM that came with my phone, placed the phone into DL mode (PWR + VOL DOWN) then plugged it in. My PC now saw this as a Samsung Android Device under the USB section in Device Manager. Odin then recogonized my phone and the rest was all down hill.
One trick I also figured out was to run Odin as Admin. Even though my profile was an admin, it's a stupid UAC thing. Hope this helps.
stuff to try
Different usb port
reboot PC after installing drivers
Make sure phone is not plugged in when you installed the drivers
Different usb cable
run odin in admin mode
refresh windows devices when phone is plugged in
good luck!
you might try heimdall, as it comes with a usb driver that you can force install (has worked for me perfectly when odin is overly picky)

Windows won't recognize t989

Hello all!
First: I promise I searched the forums and google as hard as I could!
I'm running AOKP JB with CWM, although the problem was present on stock ICS from T-Mobile.
Symptoms: Computer and phone will refuse to acknowledge any connection (nothing shows up in Device Manager), except the phone will still charge. If I do the "remove the battery with USB plugged in" trick, the first time I do it, it will recognize an unknown device, but kies and adb won't recognize it. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it'll go back to not acknowledging any connection.
I previously programmed it (when I was still running stock ROM) via ADB via WiFi, but I need to be able to use ADB via USB. Besides, I can't seem to get ADB over WiFi anymore.
When I plug it into a different computer (Win7), it will, however, recognize my phone.
Earlier this year, before I ever tried programming via WiFi, it connected to my Win8 machine with no problem. I don't think it's a problem with the wifi setup though because the ROM was reinstalled and of course I've restarted ADB in USB mode in the months since...
What I've tried:
Reinstalling Kies
Reinstalling Samsung USB drivers
[^]Restarting the ADB server
Updating ADB
Trying different USB cables
Trying different USB ports
Toggling USB debugging
Toggling MTP mode
The UART thing from the dialer
Restarting the phone and the computer (of course)
Checking to see if my computer's USB drivers need to be updated
The android terminal command "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb"
Pulling and replacing the battery while connected via USB
Crying in a corner
If anyone can help me, it'd be greatly appreciated! I'm all out of ideas and Google is no longer helpful =/
try to uninstall the drivers that are present anything samsung related to your drivers ... then connect the phone and let the process do its thing if you have the samsung drivers saved on your PC and the drivers still aint working update the drivers and then manually click where the drivers are to install them and hopefully it will work and when you tried MTP is it the only option it gives you no storage or anything ??... and is usb debugging on when you are trying all this ??

I tried on my work computer that didn't have any samsung drivers and when the "unknown device" dialog popped up it didn't do anything or install anything, nor did it show up in Device Manager. Unplugging and replugging it back in did not reproduce the dialog box. Togged USB Debugging and still no dialog box saying it recognized it.
The thing with the samsung drivers is that they're self installing so even if it popped up in Device Manager, I wouldn't be able to manually update the drivers =/
I tried MTP both with and without USB Debugging, although it also gives the option for PTP.
At this point do you think I should unroot and go back to stock? It's not been recognized on three computers now! =[
Are you using the stock cable? My computer wouldn't recognize mine without it.

Both the stock cable and a generic cable.
Similar problem
Similar problem as the OP. And hi guys, it's nice to be on these forums.
My device, when I plug it in using the stock cable, doesn't even charge. It doesn't show up in device manager, nor does it give me a notification, or say it's unsupported and bear that yellow icon. I have tried using different USB ports, I have tried the toggling USB debugging, I have tried restarting phone, computer, and taking out battery. I have tried that PDA/MODEM dialer trick. I am using 4.1.2 Jellybean, not rooted. (that WAS my goal,, until I hit this roadblock) I have not connected it to the computer in the past, it's relatively new. I'm thinking the cable is bust.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It charges fine through a wall outlet plug, be it generic or stock.
so guys ive come to a conclusion i think its something in the samsung usb cables try getting yourself a blackberry usb cable , TRUST ME !!! ever since i got my phoness etc... tablet and yadi yadi samsung usb cables have always seemed to give me problems i think its because they are multi data/charging cables and when using the blackberry usb cable i have never ever once encountered a problem with any of my phones sd/storage problems do yourself a favor and pick up one of those cables and you will be golden !! if not then i guess im the only lucky one :LOL here you go http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Travel-Adapter-Micro-Cable/dp/B004VMVSYK/ref=pd_sim_cps_2 5 bucks!
Edit also one more test boot into recovery and click in the advanced menu and see if mount usb works for you in recovery mode ??
FIX (try using a generic cable)
I actually solved it on my own! After borrowing a generic cable from a friend it booted up! The Samsung cable was just not doing its thing.
yeah im telling you those cables they provide are JUNK!!! i only use my samsung to charge because they do that well but data they are str8 CRAP!! glad you got it up and going
OP
Hope OP will have the same luck as me...pray to the Android gods...

Galaxy s20+ stucked in "usb device not recognized"

Last time after the phone got updated (july) it cant recognized any usb cable and it pop up the message UDB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED. it doesnt charge anymore with cable, only way it is via wireless. Even after the september update it hasnt recovered. Practically it cant go in rrcovery mode or download mode. I tried different cables but nothing. The phone "think" it is connected via usb cable. I tried even factory reset but nothing changed.
Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks
What you can do is deleting drivers on your windows PC.
Then download the newest drivers from this site.
Install the new drivers on your windows PC and see if this worked. Good luck.
