USB Probz - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I've had this phone for about 4 months and it was working perfectly, flashing ROMs left and right. Yesterday I tried connecting my Samsung USB cable into my laptop and tried to hop on that USB storage. What my laptop is telling me when I connect it is strange. It says that it doesn't recognize the USB device. I tried re-installing the drivers, shutting both phone and laptop down and restarting.. nothing seems to work. Please help me, because without being able to connect to the laptop, my phone is going to be boring and unflashable. Thanks!

I've had this happen before with my first sgs2, i'm on my third now. Try it on another PC, with another cable, if that doesn't work I'd just send the unit back for a replacement because the USB port is probably malfunctioning.

Phone does not recognize it is connected to computer through USB

Good day fine sirs and ma'ams.
I would just like to say I love my Tilt 2, and have had it for a few months now with no real problems and this is about my 4th WM phone.
As of about a month ago, I have been unable to connect or sync the device to my PC.
I have WM Device center 6.1 (the latest from the website)
I am running windows 7
I had been able to sync the phone until about a month ago.
I have unchecked the box in the USB to PC for faster data synchronization.
Essentially, when I plug the phone into the computer, it just acts as if it is connected to a charger. Nothing comes up on the phone and nothing comes up on the computer. It just charges. I have even installed and uninstalled WMDC a couple of times.
I really am at my wits end here.
My question is, is there a fix for this apart from sending the phone in? I am able to flash the phone via the microsd card, and even tried going back to the e2 rom that is as close to the ATT rom as I could find.
I did find the stock rom, but it does not come with the image file, just the ruu.exe I believe. I cannot flash roms via the USB cable either, so I am only able to change things like I said, via the microsd card.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
And yes, I have searched, and have found many other people posting in other threads saying they have the same problem, and everyone just says to uncheck that one box, which I have done, so that is NOT the problem.
Also, I would just like to add that when I go into the windows directory and attempt to run activesync (repllog.exe) I get the following message.
(cannot communicate with the pc because of the fllowing remote networking error (Error 608)
I have seen others ask help for this question without an answer on xda-dev also.
Thanks again! If anyone has the solution here I think a lot of people will be very happy!
:-(
turn off your firewall then pug ur device in and see if that works... works for me... perhaps your firewall started blocking it for some reason... other than that good luck
I had similar things happen to me in the past. While the phone is connected, check Windows Update whether there is a new version of Sync Center. This has fixed the problem for me.
i appreciate the suggestions.
However,
I have the firewall disabled and it still does not connect.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the WMDC using the latest software directly from the website. There appears to be no updates for the program once it is installed.
Any other suggestions?
Have you tried multiple USB cables, multiple USB ports, or even multiple computers? I've had USB cables which aren't capable of data transfer, as well as USB ports on the computer go bad. You might also considering a hard reset, to ensure no software on the phone could be causing the problem. If it's truly the USB port on the device that's broken, then you're in bad shape if you want to return it to AT&T for repair. You may be able to flash the AT&T stock ROM, but you won't be able to restore the AT&T stock SPL, which they check when fixing the device, so you may very well have to fork over some money to get it fixed. Best of luck
My phone is doing this also.
Multiple PC's, multiple USB ports, multiple cables. All of which worked perfectly beforehand...
The other thing to try is Internet Sharing - when I go in there and press 'connect', then it says Check USB cable connection, connect USB to any of my PC's/laptops and it doesn't register on the phone.
This phone is really a piece of ****. I could rant on for hours about the stupid problems there are with this handset, I'm sure I'm not alone. Perhaps I expected too much.
Anyway, if anyone has any info on how to make my USB connection work I'd love them forever...!

Could be a faulty device...my phone connects to every computer, every time. take the phone to your provider and show them whats happening.
Also, i've had issues with the standard mini USB ( http://www.meditronik.com.pl/doc/mini/usb-kabel-mini=foto=canon.jpg ) not properly connecting/loosing connection.
Try a HTC usb it might work better: http://bestcellbuy.com/bargainsea/Pictures/HTC/OEM_Home_Charger_USB_Cable/OEM_HTC_Data_Cable_07.jpg
I've tried the HTC USB lead that shipped with my phone to no avail.
I think the device is faulty (surprise surprise). It charges from USB perfectly fine, every time.
I'll post back once I find out what Telstra say... it's obviously still under warranty but that isn't really the issue - It is just such a major PITA having to switch to a loan phone and deleting confidential business data etc from my phone before sending away for repair etc etc...
Thanks for the help though, it is appreciated.
Well, I've got my USB going again. Not sure exactly what I've done, but basically I pulled the battery out for a few minutes and replaced it, turned on and off the 'high speed' checkbox in USB Connection Settings, and it has come good.
****box phone.
Somehow mine started working again last night too. Same cable, same port and everything.
Really odd, but I'm not complaining at the moment!
It seems this problem is spreading, as i'm being terrorized by this stupid bug... This afternoon I've tried to get internet on my laptop (by connecting my phone to it), but it was just charging my phone, so I thought the cable was broken. Next I tried it at home on my desktop computer, with another cable, and it did the same (several reboots have passed).
I don't know if someone already tried it, but when you enter the bootloader, it says "Serial". Normally when you connect the USB-cable it changes to "USB" (at least with my kaiser, universal and wizard). on my phone it didn't...... can anyone check this for me??
to enter bootloader: hold volume-down-button and pres soft-reset-button.
thanks in advance!

thanks for your help.
I've flashed my device with the newest official from HTC, and it still doesn't connect with the usb-data (i used the "flash-from-SD" -method).
The strange thing was that it happened suddenly... i never use a headset with cable, so its almost impossible the connector is broken. Any ideas people??
btw, the device isn't SPL flashed, so i can't use other roms beside the official roms...
Same thing happened to me. No USB sync, no USB connection at all; it only charges. Thankfully I had a chance to flash to a custom ROM before this happened.
The only way I can sync my data is to use a bluetooth USB in my PC. Works quite well with my contacts, calendar, & email, but I have yet to try to transfer any large files.
The bluetooth USB I went with was ASUS USB-BT21 USB 2.0 Mini Bluetooth Dongle. It is VERY low profile, too, but I would have liked for it to come with an end cap like those USB flash drives, otherwise I have yet to find any complaints about it. The price was great and so much cheaper than spending an additional $70-$100 to get my USB port on my device fixed.
Here's my saga: No Syncing, No USB Connection
Best of luck!

this happened to me before...when you connect your devivce to your laptop/comp, are you guys not getting the little pop up that says activesync & disc drive...??? if so jus make sure at least one of those are checked...sometimes both of the circles will be blank, thus the comp will simply charge it...
unplug the device for approx 10 sec then plug it in again, and the box should pop up again...
also...if you are tethered to your comp using the tp2's internet, your comp will not recognize your tp2's storage...

I did not know one could flash to new ROM by use of the SD card?
Mine is de-HSPL, so now I can not select another ROM anymore. (Got the 6.1 default one again)

I've never used the SD-Card method myself, but now will have to due to my USB port no longer working.
I've been syncing by using Bluetooth USB and just tried transferring files via Bluetooth and it worked like a charm! Smaller files were instantaneous and large files took longer (of course), but also worked fine.
I just tried copying over a RHODIMG.nbh file and that bugger worked (188MB)... Excellent!!!
I did buy a USB card reader to transfer files, just to be on the safe side, but I must say that this little Bluetooth USB that I picked up is working awesome.

i exactly have the same problem.I guess i need to send it back

PC Connection Issues with EVO

Already tried reformatting Windows and installing any and all drivers I could find.
When I connect my EVO to my PC via the USB cable, the connection type window appears, the amber light turns on, and it shows up on my PC for ~2 seconds. Then it disappears. I have been unable to keep it connected.
It works on other PCs I've tried, just not mine for some odd reason. (Any other USB item works fine), and I've tried multiple USB ports.
Any ideas?
I had this exact issue when I was going through a non-powered USB hub. As soon as I plugged it into my computer's direct USB plug no issues. How old is the computer you are trying to plug this into? Is is USB 2.0? I'm on windows 7 64bit if that helps. Hope you get this fixed, it's annoying as hell.
Forgot to mention, this is on Windows 7 x64 as well.
Im using the ports on my mobo, and its a rather new mobo (XFX 780i). Tried every single port =\

[Q] Can't connect to computer as storage device.

I've been trying to connect my phone to my computer and all it does is charge. Nothing shows up on the computer and no notifications show up on my phone. I've re-installed drivers and tried to connect it to different computers and it does the same thing. I've tried different roms and used different cables as well. The only thing I think of is that it got some light water damage about 6 months back but I've connected it to a computer since then so I don't know how that could be it. I've searched for solutions for the last 3 days but nothing has worked. Anybody have any ideas what I could do or could I replace the usb port or something? Thanks.

Unable to install drivers Help

I hope I posted this in the right subsection.
I used to be able to connect my s3 to my computer just fine. Now When I try to connect it, it randomly connects and then disconnects after a few seconds going back and forth like that. My computer doesn't have enough time to install the drivers for it since it disconnects on its own like that.
This is not my computers problem since it wont connect to my other computers. I even tried reinstalling the os on my pc for new set of drivers, but no luck.
Im sure it has something to do with my phone. My phone is rooted, so if any fixes include being rooted, Im good with that.
I tried changing from mtp to ptp connections, removing the battery, trying different usb ports and cables.Tried with usb debugging on and off too.
Im at my wits end here. please help!
Your usb port may be going bad. Check the port for any built up lint or other crap. Also check the pins, make sure they are all there and straight.
I tried another USB cable and it worked

HTC M9 Connecting to Computer Problem

Hey Guys,
First of all, I am a new member here my name is Salem and its an amazing forum.
Anyway, I have a slight problem with my HTC M9 while connecting it into my laptop. First, when I connect it, the mobile starts charging, and it gives me no option as to change it to Media Transfer or anything... even it gives me "Slow Charging" Error, and my laptop is detecting nothing, as if nothing happened, nor its searching for any drivers...
I went to developer menu and used USB Debugging, and selected USB configuration as MTP, and it didn't work...
I installed HTC Sync to get the drivers, and it is the same.
Can you guys help me? because I wanna root the phone and I tried various Auto Root applications without using the PC and they didn't work. Thank you guys
No signal from the laptop probably means you have a faulty USB cable. Most likely a break in one of the data wires.
Try another good quality usb 2.0 cable.

Same issue. Tried multiple cables
I have the same issue. When I try to plug into any PC a slow charging message pops up but the phone won't give me the option to connect to PC. I have turned on USB Debugging and selected MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). Please help!
I am with TPG. Android 6.0 HTS 7.0 Software number 3.35.617.12
I only bought this phone a week ago and it updated when I turned it on.

Most likely a crap or broken cable. Other cables, other sockets, other pc's are all worth a try.
You should leave the usb port in "charging only". When you successfully connect to a pc the phone will prompt you to allow data transfers to that computer.
I know this because mine does it. I'm sick to death of the effing thing promting me to connect to my xbox one when all i want to do is charge the effing thing... My phone is set to charging only.
I suppose rom choice will affect it too. Mine is rooted stock 6.0.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Still have same problem
I still can't connect my M9 to my PC. Still have slow charge message come up and no option to connect to PC. My work around has been transferring files using WiFi. However, now I need to do a presentation using scrcpy and will probably have to get a new phone. I'm tmepted not to buy HTC again. Pretty frustrating and no fix found on the internet...
