Apparently, when I plug my phone in computer to put some files, pictures to phone, my computer doesn't recognize the phone's mass storage and neither do Kies
The message from the computer is : USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
I thought there was something wrong with rom i installed, and tried unroot the phone, restored it to orignial rom. However, the problem is still there.

I would suggest buying a new cable and trying that. Seems a lot of users are encountering this lately. The wires that carry data fail, but the wires that carry power still function. It doesn't have to be a Samsung branded cable, but one specifically for charging/data for the SGH-T989. It happened to me both on this phone, and my Transformer. Both times it was solved by using a new cable.
Your local electronics store should carry what you need. Good luck!

I tried it. No help :/. I think it is the phone's usb port that makes this problem. Probably I'll send it to samsung company to have it fixed.
Before u diagnose the phone as the issue i would check and try plugging it to another pc besides the one that doesnt detect it because i have the same issue with my main pc. When i plug it it opens up as an unreadable drive, it wount open or anything, but when i plug it to my laptop it works perfect.
kind of wierd but it works. i also tried installing kies and didnt help at all. now it it still doesnt work than yea probably the phone.

voila monsieur !!!! i dont know which was the silverbullet but i aint complainin.
However, it was still nice to know that Samsung is a no questions asked manufacturer.

Would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to fix this. It was always a problem my or any computer i used would never find my phone when i connected it via USB. I always got something saying usb port malfunction and when i go to my computer phone never shows but phone does charge through the usb so it is connected. Any help here would be appreciated.
P.S ive tried about 5 different usb cords and atleast 5 different computers even ones on campus
Take it to the store...
Get a new cable...a heavy dudty one like a Blackberry or Palm. It takes nothing to charge through the cable but a lot to pass data.

Yes I did. Still have the same issue. Last time it worked was when I used Odin and the phone never rebooted. That's what started this thread.
I'm trying to see what happens when I try this on my desktop... Will update soon...
Drivers not working
Even when I tried my desktop (XP, laptop Win 7) I got the same results... Device not recognized...
Even when I click on there was a problem with the device message and go to update driver, it tells me there is no driver installed or needed for this device. I'm hopeful this can be fixed but I can't get the device to be seen and it's stuck in downloading mode. I have searched all the forums and haven't seen this issue yet. Does anyone know how to fix this when it only turns on without the battery in while plugging in the USB and holding 1 & power? I had issues with the device being seen before this happened but man I'm lost as what to try. I even tried the one on the samsung site... of course uninstalling the previous ones and resetting the computer before my attempts.

So, I think I am screwed.
I am going to preface this by saying that I am very familiar with Android phones and am certainly not a noob. However, i am stumped here.
A few hours ago I tried updating my girlfriends phone to the latest version of MIUI 4. Well, it turns out that I was the poor guinea pig who found out for everyone that the uploaded file did indeed have an MD5 mismatch.
Anyhow, this borked my recovery (supposedly because a new kernel/cwm version was baked in to this flash).
Ok, I thought, I'll just put the phone in "Download Mode" and Odin back to stock and start over.
WRONG
The phone is NOT RECOGNIZED ON ANY COMPUTER. Not two different laptops running Windows 7 64-bit. Not a desktop running Windows 7 32-bit and not a Linux Box.
This isn't the typical "unrecognized device" error. I literally mean that it is NOT SEEN by any of these machines. There is no Windows "ding" or "noise" when it is plugged in. Nothing shows up in device manager as an unrecognized device. Nothing happens when I plug it in to my Linux machine.
I have tried FOUR different cable. The original Epic cable. My Epic Touch cable (which used to work great). A cable from a Nook Simple Touch and a cable from an HTC phone.
I am 99% certain that this is a hardware error and her phone is now ruined. She does not have TEP (she cancelled it for some reason -_-).
Has anyone ever heard of this? It can't be a driver issue because it would at least be seen by one of my devices correct? Or there would at least be a Windows "sound" when it is plugged in? The phone charges when connected, but nothing more whatsoever. I had issues in the past because of driver issues or bad cables. But, the fact of the matter is that the other day (when the phone was working fine) we plugged it into a computer and it would not recognize the phone at all (as I explained earlier). Even when storage was mounted, not a single thing was detected even though it used to work.
Sorry for the long winded and redundant post... It's quite late and i've been trying to fix this without freaking the woman out for the past 3+ hours. Driving me insane!
Anyone have any ideas? Or, any options I can take for if it truly is a lost cause?
Thanks everyone
uninstall all other phone drivers. Reboot. Install the drivers here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
Windows is very very picky with drivers. If that doesn't work none of the cables you have used is a blackberry. I would say go out and buy a good blackberry cable or at least a good thick cable. Try another USB port as well. You can even try a fresh install of windows. If all fails then the USB is borked. Or it is dirty... see if you can't clean it out if you can see any lint or other gunk.

This might seem really crazy but i had the exact same problem about a year ago. It wasn't the cable, computer or the drives.
check the little connector piece in the phone where cable meets the phone. Its a small copper piece that can be notorious for bending up or down. I could charge my phone like you but couldn't figure out why the hell it wasnt syncing so try that and i could guess that's the issue. since its your gf's then Im sure she has some tweezers that an bend it back up but be very careful.

Also, the connector is physically bent. I'm going to try and bend it again today. The sides visibly form an ever so slight "u" shape.
I took the phone apart as well last night to get a better look. That piece does not appear to be interchangeable whatsoever. The entire input is like, awkwardly soldered to the system board...

Do you think a JTAG would work? I truly think that this is a problem with the actual USB connector (we had problems with it before it got "stuck", EX: It wouldn't mount USB storage on any machines... Not detected at all when plugged in, aside from being charged). It isn't actually bricked... If my recovery would not have been wiped out by flashing the ROM with a bad MD5 OR, if I could get it to work on a PC/Linux machine I could easily Odin/Heimdall. I'm not exactly sure what a JTAG is, but I am 99% sure that I could fix this if it weren't for some crazy ass hardware issue. I'll try calling around.
Thanks man.
Its a direct communication with the board, is what I've grasped from hearing and reading about it. With this and a program it should rewrite things and allow you to flash things. Although now that I think about it your not hard bricked if you can get into Odin. And jtag usually puts it into download mode. Although I'm sure you can flash the stock firmware via jtag. Like I said Google things

Well, it's worth trying make sure to cover all your bases again to get Odin to work. It shouldn't be that difficult to get it to work. I have no problem, even with stock cables. Worst case scenario, you're bone stock, so you may be able to get Sprint to take care of the issue for you.

without the usb connecting is their any way for odin to connect I've used every possible driver for the phone and others from devices similar is their other drivers then just the usb driver i use to have a lg optimas s and i needed like 3 drivers to ever get that thing connected
Try uninstalling all device drivers you don't need for other devices and the epic. Reboot, do a reinstall, and reboot again. Try connecting again, and give it some time. If drivers aren't installing still after a few minutes, unplug and plug in again. Give it a min or two to finish installing the drivers. Open Odin and try one more time. If it lists a com port in yellow, you've done it. Otherwise I'm unsure why it's not connecting. Also, try the different cables if drivers aren't installing. And use different USB Ports on your computer if issues persist.

What OS are you attempting to use. Vista and 7 were picky for me the try to use the phone initially as a mass storage device. Is it trying to connect and failing to associate the drivers or just nothing at all? Sometimes a battery pull and mashing buttons for 20 seconds then plugging in with odin open, with no battery helps.
My main computer is windows xp pro service pack 3 ive installed the particalur drivers it charges through usb but that is all. still havnt figured it out my other computer is windows 7 ultimate and it doesnt recognize it there either ive also tried loading it through a hub with no go but ill try some of the things you guys said again and make shure to follow them to the key
You should only need the Samsung drivers to get it to connect. I always use a USB port on the back of the tower instead of a front port. Sometimes they can be flaky. Good luck.

Yepper. But that is a good point too, I cannot get my epic or epic touch to connect without plugging into a USB port integrated into the motherboard. Even then I sometimes have to plug and unplug a couple quick times. Mine are still picky too.
I had to go to samsung website and download the drivers for the epic from there. Also try different usb ports. A good thick blackberry cable has never failed me.

Hello Everyone, I'm using Galaxy Nexus GSM Version and I was using Purity Rom for a while, yesterday everything was working fine but today there occurred a problem.
1. I Can't connect my phone to my PC via usb.
It just charges it and Windows (windows xp) says it can't recognize the device. Then the screen starts flickering when i connect it.
I tried many different ports and wires, nothing happened.
2. While using my charger, it charges my phone only when its switched off, doesn't charge when the phone is booted up.
This whole problem occurred twice many many weeks ago and got solved automatically, this time its not helping.
So I wanted to ask you experts what to do? This time it's taking too long, i flashed AK Kernel too, flashed PA (these things were luckily there in my sd card)
I can't use net too due some network failure here, please help me.
Thanks a lot in Advance.

It just charges it and Windows (windows xp) says it can't recognize the device. Then the screen starts flickering when i connect it.
I tried many different ports and wires, nothing happened.
2. While using my charger, it charges my phone only when its switched off, doesn't charge when the phone is booted up.
This whole problem occurred twice many many weeks ago and got solved automatically, this time its not helping.
So I wanted to ask you experts what to do? This time it's taking too long, i flashed AK Kernel too, flashed PA (these things were luckily there in my sd card)
I can't use net too due some network failure here, please help me.
Thanks a lot in Advance.

you have a problem in mini usb port of your nexus, try to clean it and see if pins are in their places

Thanks mate, but I'm a bit worried, my phone isn't in warranty and I scare that something bad has happened?
but i will try this, actually I've reinstalled the drivers and all such stuffs, still no progress, so its just a dust issue right?

it might be dust or not.
if not, Look inside the USB port and you will see a "tab" there. Lever this up gently (after removing the battery) towards the centre of the port.
P.S. read this thread

WHOA!
I did that and it worked! I gently scrated the pins of the battery and the corners of the usb pins. Currently its showing connection icons but can't access the files via PC, but still, its charging from every port plus my charger is working!
Glad to hear that :thumbup:
