Rooted ICS phone won't connect to computer - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Unfortunately I cracked my screen today and can't access any of my phone's memory. I can't even see anything on the screen.
I should've started this thread earlier when I first encountered the problem but a little too late for that.
Well my issue is that I have a rooted and I believe it was a custom ICS rom that was based off the AT&T version when it just came out a little while ago. I can't connect to Kies and never could even with USB settings on the phone activated, and deactiaved.
It's kinda crappy that it can't even be recognized to even get my pictures without being forced to connect through Kies. Is there any other way to get it to connect?
I'll eventually get a screen replacement and do it myself since it costs about the same thru the stupid insurance and at least I'll get to keep all my data if I do it myself.
Damn, makes me miss my stupid iPhone sometimes...

So this is a no go I'm assuming since there's no response?

OK so what u would need to do is make sure USB debugging is enabled, and if u can't see ur screen or access anything I'm afraid ur out of luck, that option needs to be enabled in order for the PC to connect, if it was enabled then make sure u have all the necessary drivers installed in ur PC, if both of those are good then idk, ur only other option is a replacement screen

Well bit the bullet and just bought a screen replacement. Luckily I was able to get it unlocked and got all the stuff off. Mainly most important was the pictures that I couldn't get back any other way.

Well to prevent this issue from ever occurring again, it would be wise of you to back up pictures using Google+ Photos.

Contacts from phone, touchscreen dead.

So my gf has had her evo screen die. I used my upgrade to get her a EVO 3d, but she stupidly didn't back up her contacts. She saved them all to the phone instead Google or exchange. I know sprint can typically get contacts out of there, but will they need the touchscreen to work to do so? The store is 45 minutes away so don't want to waste effort if it won't work....

I would think they could do it, but I suggest instead of taking the chance that they can't, try using ADB to do it. Set the phone to USB Debugging on and then do what the guy suggests in the link below:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-rescue-squad/30987-acquire-contacts-via-adb.html
Oh, just thought about this... Make SURE you TELL them that there are contacts on the phone, cause they will just assume that because it's android that you use google to back them up... so be sure you tell them to at least try to do it...

I would do it over ADB, but I cant enable ADB without the touchscreen. I can get into fastboot, but thats it. The phone in on 4.24 and so I cant even try to use a RUU to get it back to stock and see if its a software vs. hardware issue. Its really annoying.
If it's a repair location, have them slap a screen on it real quick to get the contacts.
Well still can't get it to work. Erg. Guess time for a repair store.

[Q] Problem Connecting Phone to PC (Please move to Q/A, Sorry)

I've been looking for the past few hours and now I'm starting to get nervous --- i've read tons of threads with people having something like my problem and I've done everything suggested and still no luck, starting to freak out a bit haha. Hooked my phone up this morning, everything was as normal. Plug it in, USB option comes up, worked perfectly. The only thing I did with my phone was go on a long car ride and charged it using an adapter to a house charger. Im assuming that somehow that screwed it up since it was being converted. This sounds strange to me but its my only idea. I can't connect, the second I plug in my phone it starts to charge (and for some reason the light doesn't come on when it usually does).
Things I've tried =
-Reset phone/computer
-Reflashed latest Calks
-Tried 4 different cables (along with all computers USB ports)
-Reinstalled Samsung drivers
-Reflashed stock
-System restore of computer
--------
Other than completely wiping my phone of everything I don't know what else to try. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time.
Try booting on recovery and enable USB mount, if you still don't have access to the phone then very likely your USB port is damaged. This will discard any issues with the ROM
Another thing you could try is to get the phone to another computer, the computer should recognize it even without drivers if you enable USB storage mode or at the very least make the unknown device show up on the device manager. If it shows up then you know for sure your computer is the problem, if not, well then it is your phone.

I even went so far as to format my netbook and start fresh, still didn't work --- just got it set back up...
My girlfriend just got home with her computer and it's not recognizing it at all. When I go into settings>Wireless> USB Utilities, it doesn't even recognize that my cable is connected (even though its charging)
I didn't know there was anything like Force USB Mount in recovery so I'm going to do that right after I type this post
This is really frustrating :O haha so I guess if your suggestion doesn't work, whats the easiest way to un-root return to stock so I can stop by the Sprint store tomorrow? I talked to a rep that roots his phones and he said as long as it says Gingerbread 2.3.6 they'll take it back (I guess they don't look at the custom counter)
Any other suggestions? (Thanks fen)
Thanks for the idea but the force mount through CWM didn't work ... Gave me a little hope by popping up on my pc for two seconds but then disappeared. Yeah so looks like my next option is to return to stock and get me a new one?

Odd... so the phone popped on windows and then disconnected immediately? That would indicate that physically the port is fine but logically something is going on... (unless you moved the cable).
Well if that is the case then you could either try to diagnose the issue yourself OR try to get the phone replaced somehow.
Another idea... have your tried download mode?
Im on the same boat delete the drivers from your computer the actual usb drivers not the samsung ones that worked for me the update them again. I have a dv7 hp. It works at times but somethimes it says error connect to a high speed usb

I had this same issue (if I'm reading and understanding you correctly) for the last week and was at my wits end. No matter what I did or changed, I could not get my PC to recognize my phone all of a sudden. The USB connected notification just quit appearing. I installed and uninstalled drivers, installed and uninstalled different Keis versions, tried different cables, different computers..... Finally just as I was about to wipe and Odin the phone, I remembered I had changed the AP/CP setting in ##8878# when I did the PRL change and just maybe I forgot to change it back.......sure enough, that was it. I switched it back, connected phone to PC and bam!...all fixed.

Sorry I was in a hurry when I typed that --- let me clarify.
Honestly I did so much tinkering last night that I don't remember exactly how i got it to do it. But after playing with the mounts in CWM, I eventually started up my phone and the USB logo came up in the Notif bar --- (MTP Inititaed - or whatever that is) but after clicking the icon nothing happened and eventually just went away

Just by playing around with those numbers you gave me I found it to be ##8778# bringing up the USB -AP/CP/ALL menu --- which one is it supposed to be set as?
EDIT*** It was on AP... tried the other two options, resetting phone in between both of them and still no luck --- have an appt to go to the sprint store tomorrow ---
Because I can't get the phone to connect... I don't suppose there is a way to flash unroot is there --- I've already flashed modem kernal and stock rom --- went into ES and deleted Superuser... the only way you can tell that my phone has been messed with is that CWM still pops up when you do the Volume+poweron... any suggestions?
Thanks again for the suggestions everyone I really appreciate them

I am having the same issue. However, my phone is stock. Do you know what was the culprit?
Get insurance on it wait a few weeks, say you lost it and pay the $100 for the replacement. Keep the lost one for parts. Or sell it on ebay for parts. This is if you can't fully get back to stock.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I never did get a confirmation kn exactly what the problem was. As stated above i just deleted super user and flashed a stock everything and just prayed they wouldn't check for cwm which they didn't.
Im assuming my charging port burnt out. I used multiple different cables, including LG HTC stock Samsung and some Verizon one. But i think what finally did it was using the Verizon one in the car with a really old adapter. I don't understand why this would cause a problem but i really believe it did. That Verizon cable even acts weird with this new phone like it says charging but led light randomly turns on and off.
Im confused as to what happens to that old phone if you ever lose it. I lost a phone along time ago when I was drunk, but instead of claiming insurance i was eligible for upgrade. What possibly could have ended up happening with that old phone? Somebody found a paper weight? Or was somebody able to flash it and use it?
I guess the condensed version of my question is what happens to a found phone after device has been reported lost?

SGS3 broken LCD, Remotely controlling from desktop?? [Help]

I have a new Sammy GS3 from Tmo US. My brother had the upgrade, but my original phone broke, so he let me have his contract upgrade, and I picked up the GS3. Long story short, I got a small crack in the screen when I dropped it, but the LCD is shot underneath. We ordered the insurance, but it is under my brother's LINE, not under the PHONE itsself. So I need him to be able to access data for a couple days, but we cant do anything to the phone whatsoever.
I guess my question is, ideally is there an emulator that I can use on the desktop over USB cable? or (more realistically I suppose) even just anyway possible to control it remotely, without using the lcd? make a download here, attempt a call there?
Thanks in advance!!!
You could adb push an app to the phone, but dont know how youd set it up.
Heres what i would do. Download the full stock firmware and flash it using Odin. Put your bros sim into the phone and call him a few times. The phone will have all default out of box settings which includes data on. You may have to wait a few days periodically putting sim in and calling the phone.
Still dont know for sure if thisll satisfy insurance requirements, but worth a shot.
.to get download mode for odin, make sure phone is off, then hold Volume down, home, and power for a few secs. You may feel a quick vibrate but cant remember for sure. Release all buttons. Now press volume up once. You should be in download mode and should be able to see on your pc. Flash the fw and go from there.
Just thought of something, do you know if wifi was active before it broke? If it was off and you didnt disable data then just putting the sim in shuld be good enough. If wifi was on, and youre sure data was not disabled you have 2 options. Go somewhere that the phone cant access a wifi network and itll default to data connection. Or try sending mms picture messages to the phone. It should deliver over data even with wifi enabled...i think.
Good luck!

Wifi calling takes care of data, so an mms wouldn't be over network. The rest of it sounds good though.
Edit: you could just change your wifi password.

I also got to thinking and the micro-hdmi cord should still mirror it upon startup right? so I might be able to get the display up that way, and I 'believe' the digitizer is functioning so if plan A doesn't work I might invest in one of those haha...

Did I brick it for real????

I took my phone into the sprint store this evening because the usb port was starting to act up. The tech resoldered the connections and the phone started charging the way it was supposed to again. I had flashed FC09 modem, MTD stock deodexed and Marcusants nyan kernel that shows FC09 as the baseband. I did this of course so the tech could run his diagnostics and it wouldn't look out of the ordinary. The tech I worked with already knows I root and even remembered me from my last USB port replacement but that's another interesting story in of itself.
Anyway, when I got home I set about setting it back to my previous set-up. At this point my battery meter showed 70% before I restated into CWM. I started the restore proccess from CWM and put the phone in my pocket without even thinking since I had some work to do. I pulled the phone out about an hour later when I remembered it only to find a black screen. The phone had died somewhere in that hour or so. I thought it was no big deal and I would just charge it and all would be good. I connected it to the charger and got no lights of any sort and no reaction. I tried 4 different chargers all of which work perfectly with other phones in the house to no avail.
I then tried to hook it up to my computer and got no response when attempting to reach download mode with the only 2 data cables I have; one is a radioshak and the other is the stock sammy cable. I took the battery and SD out and let it sit for about an hour. I hooked the phone back up to the cable with no battery and attempted download mode with no response. I'm at a loss as for what to do now.
I can't get to download mode and I can't take it back to the sprint store because the guy I'm sure will just blame me for rooting my phone and messing with it.
Now what??????? Could I have actually bicked it with a CWM restore that maybe died in the middle? Or could he have ****ed up my USB port for data and now im screwed on Odin.
Edit: I forgot to add the tech did what he said was a full diagnostic on it before I left and he said it passed with flying colors.
There are a large amount of threads on restore a brick in the QA forum. Try using search terms like: "hard brick" to locate them. There are good posts in them that may be of assistance. I can't recall much of the info from memory, hence my search suggestion.
Next time you go to do anything in recovery, don't have anything planned for that 3-15mins. That phone should have been burning up your pocket with the restore and screen on the entire time. I'm not sure how you didn't notice it, lol.
Maybe the battery is dead and the port stopped working again, try a charged battery

As far as I'm concerned this HAD to have been the problem. As you can see in OP I did most of the things listed in the brick threads along with the stickies.
I talked to someone on IRC about the possibility of making a download jig but my soldering person (my old man) wasn't available in time.
Sooooo. I took it back to the sprint store and simply did another TEP claim and had absolutely no troubles. In fact the guy apologized to me and said he's still getting better at his soldering skills. Not the first time I have had a USB port charge but give no data access after being soldered by them.
The batterry is fine and is sitting in the refurb epic I just got back today.
Now I have a new problem. I'm trying to root the new epic and am having trouble getting it recognized in Win 7 Pro X64. I d/l the latest drivers from thier website and have tried multiple different ways of install/uninstall including specifically giving it Admin priveleges. I have also tried unistalling drivers and installing keis using same method with same nogo.
After fiddling with SamSucks software I uninstalled all of it and d/l Heimdall.
I followed the directions in the readme.txt to install drivers and all it could find was unknown USB device which it couldn't install drivers for.
All install and uninstalls were done with restarts and ccleaner in between to make sure of complete deletion.
Could I have gotten another bad data port phone that only charges?
The only way that works every time for me is to turn on USB debugging, uminstall all drivers from the computer and then allow Windows update to search for drivers....can take like 30 minutes sometimes to get all that are needed but it always works for me.

Now It seems like I'm not getting any data connection at all between the phone and computer. I'm on my third USB cord and I can't even get the phone to ask about mounting the SD card to transfer data to the computer. This just seems odd from a straight from Sprint refurb.
Edit: To make things even weirder I just hooked up my wife's Samsung feature phone and it gets recognized almost instantly.

By doing this I'm assuming you mean go into the device manager, selecting update driver, then Search automatically for updated driver software. Is this what you mean? I had tried this without USB debugging before your suggestion and got no dice. I just tried it with USB debugging and still no dice. Though it didn't take very long to fail so I could be doing something wrong.

No. Choose uninstall driver. Then if it fails try a different port. If it is a desktop computer then only use the ports in the rear.

This is exactly what I have been doing. I have tried all 6 ports on the back with nothing plugged in and all 3 ports on my netbook. The odd part to me is no matter what port on what computer I plug into, the phone does not seem to recognize it is plugged into a usb port.

If you tried a total of 9 different ports then it sounds like a hardware issue on the Epic again.
I took the phone back to the sprint store thus evening and the tech had all the same problems I did. He tried several cords and ports to no avail. He ordered me another epic.
Its hard to believe they let these things out of the factory in such poor shape.
Here's to hoping I get a good one this time. *fingers crossed. I'm already so tired of stock rom, I miss my CM7.

OMG I think I'm going to go nuts. I brought my fourth epic home last night and proceeded to odin CWM. Everything went perfect, or so I thought, as it said it passed. Now the damn thing is completely unresponsive and none of the tricks to get it into d/l mode work. How is this even possible. They did a battery of tests on it before I left the store and it passed. I didn't think Odin had the capability to mess up the phone this much. Any ideas on wth is going on are welcome at this point.

I'd have to agree with phonehunter59 on this one. It sounds like something is going wrong on the computer's end of things or maybe Odin.
It could also be the version of odin you are on, maybe it's too old

Will I'm not sure what exactly went wrong but I did get into download mode finally. I used the old voodoo "magic button" coupled with pressing the power button. I was then able to enter download mode and flash. I think the problem this time was bad settings in Odin. I only unchecked restart and not everything else. As soon as I unchecked everything I was able to successfully flash CWM.
As for my computer, it's a QX6850 sitting on a 680i. About 6 or 7 years old or so, but it still gets the job done pretty good. OS is 64 bit windows 7. I used the version of Odin found in Kenny's rooting sticky in general.

[Q] Wifi stuck flicking on and off and hanging in no mands land

I have a Sasktell Note 2 and have major problems with the WiFi
When turning it on it will flick on and off then get stuck off, when i mean flick on and of it never fully turns on the on light comes on for maybe a split second then back of and just hands with it not being on or off and not usable.
I have flashed a multitude of roms and put stock rom back on but this problem will not go away and is random, sometimes removing the battery will help and it will work for a few hours or days then crap out again.
Tried and searched even did the copy the old etc/wifi setting over the orginal did not work.
getting close to the point of stamping on it and getting a Iphone:crying:
Thanks for any help
reboot your router...
Factory reset the device and set up WiFi again..
Sounds like a dirty device...
Router reset also as mentioned above...g
Thanks for advice not sure what you mean on router not using a router, im just trying to turn on the wifi on my phone and its not that it wont connect to anything it just wont turn on.
I have done factory resest 1,0000000000000 times and just flashed another 2 roms same problem.
If you are using wifi at your house etc..
Power down the router for your internet connection and reboot it..
This could also be a hardware issue...
It sounds like you have exhausted the other repair options with fresh installs and trouble shooting....g
Thanks no its nothing to do with a router its a phone issue.
Not connecting to router or anything for that matter just turning on wifi on the phone.
Pos is ready be thrown through a wall no one seems to know the reason
Also as wifi button is not working it also means hotspot is not working
Where can I get the original note 2 rom for sasktel every one I find is bell or ata one last ditch at fixing it

No worries...
Unroot and reset is easy enough...g
Well downloaded the rom installed it and still no joy
Maybe the phone is just #@%$#@$.
Going to try re-partition see if that makes a difference.

Well tried a few more things and think i screwed it,
It now comes up with baseband unknown and the phone memory has dropped to 0 if i connect to the usb cable I can see the phone on the PC but has odd numbers when it comes to free memory and cannot create anything as says zero memory.
If i go to the phone there is no longer any signal and the memory is at 0 also.
I just re checked odin i think I clicked Nand erase all by mistake ooops
If you did erase the nand....the phone is effectively dead..
Unless you have a full backup to restore your EFS and IMEI #....then it's bye bye note2..
Oops is right....
Ya killed it....g
Edit:
Do you have a backup ??
That part about being careful was no joke....g
No back up so no phone.................
Could I not DL a nadro from online and flash it?
If that's not a option bye Note 2 I would like to say it had been a fun ride but you where a piece of crap and destroyed my trust in Android your brother SGS1 had a hand in destroying it also )
you cant download someone elses nandroid and use it..
sounds like operator error has runied another phone;
dont blame it on Android
I would agree operator ruined it im not blaming it very odd of you to read that from the sentence.
I stated my first android sgs1 no good nothing to do with anything other than the phone, inline mic and usb sound did not work GPS did not work Samsung stated no work around live with it. Note 2 over 6 months of no Wifi or hotspot makes phone useless for me as it is a required feature as country living no internet unless the phone works. Tried fixing and talking about it no joy so had already decided the phone was going in the trash, hence why im not that fussed that it bricked.
Very sorry about the phone...
It's a fine device...but is not a solve all...
No device is....g

Try this maybe you can still revive it it was done on S3 so you will just use cf auto root from original dev section and use custom rom for Note ll
