Do I have a bricked usb card?...HELP!!!!!

Hi all...bare with me here, I posted this earlier, but in the wrong forum section so I am going to start over here.....thanks for your patience....
Hi everyone...I have a problem..I tried to use the Firerat zips to increase my internal storage, and during the flash of the zip file the phone hung and I had to pull the battery out.....since then the usb wont mount.
I am using a Tmobile mytouch slide 3g.
I tried using the sdk and running the fastboot commands etc to get the sd card to mount...no go.
I have tried the fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 command and no go....
Note:..My sd card works fine in a card reader on my computer, I can drag and drop anything to it etc. etc.
Finally i downloaded the stock rom, and i was able to put it on the card, and rename it ESPRIMG.zip and installed it through recovery...My phone was rooted and S-off running ginger, but now back to stock...S-on, and hating the phone now...lol.....
I have been all over the web and I am so confused...everywhere you search there is something different, I just dont know what to do, Windows doesnt recognize the phone when plugged in so I cant load custom rom etc back on....AARGH!!!..I am so frustrated, and have a migraine messing with this damn thing.....lol...
Someone here suggested the MISC is bad and that a binary flash_img would fix it, but honestly, I have no idea what any of that means...all that means to me is confusion, and I have that already.....lol
Can someone please suggest what I may try doing?I am pretty savvy with computers but some of the adb/shell stuff is very confusing to me, I dont like cmd prompts...so maybe a detailed explanation?..
Thank you so much for taking your time to read my problem, I really appreciate it very much.....Dirtylarry
"Kharma...It's a good thing"

ok man im gonna try to understand the problem... you say your usb mount doesnt work but the sdcard works with the adapter, then you went back to stock and un-rooted and the pc doesnt recognize your phone? right?
So it looks to me (just an idea) that the problem is your cable or the port on your pc... just beacuse your sdcard IS working in your phone as well since you used the ESPRIMG.zip(wich was really unnecessary) and you flashed it using the sdcard obviously.
Now you need to find a way to root it again just like you did the first time... dont mess with the drivers since you havent changed them in your pc (i guess) and try this guide....

Now all i can say is ALWAYS DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE MESSING WITH YOUR PHONE. And check the cable/ports... thats the only problem i can think of...

well the fact that I have 3 computers that all used to recoginize the phone just fine is what's weird....none of them do, nor does my usb connection on my car stereo...the computers all say "USb not recognized" etc. etc. and the car stereo says USB N/A .......So i'm just at a loss as to what is going on here....Any ideas????? Thanks much ....Dirtylarry

Try installing PDA Net. It installs USB Drivers and resets the registry. One day it would work, then the next day it didn't work, reinstalling PDA Net worked every time.

Thanks Wave_Sailor, I tried the pda net install but it wont work....Everytime I try it says that it can't handshake to the phone, and then gives me an error code 103, I have tried many many times....also, in the device manager for computer it shows a yellow Exclamation mark everytime I plug the phone in listed at "Other Devices", and says Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM....So I googled, and found another thread saying Install Windows mobile 6 center, so I did, and nothing changed.......ARGH....DIrtylarry

Do part III, but while the phone is unplugged, download and install HTC Sync, and then plug the phone back in.

Ok...I did EXACTLY what you have suggested, and in the driver information box this is what I got after the install....
USB Composite device installed successfully
USB Mass Storage Device Failed
Mytouch slide tmobil installed successful
Still a no go on the Mass storage device......hmmm.....so weird of a problem to have....I would have thought that clearing everything on the phone and going back to stock would have done the trick......any more ideas?...Thanks so much for your help.....Dirty

Have you checked in device manager on your computer to see if the mass storage device has a yellow triangle? I just went through the same thing but in reverse. My pc would see the sd card while in my phone but not through the reader. I still haven't gotten it straightened out either, just learned to live with it.

Make sure you don't have any drivers disabled. Ran into that problem with a different phone. I had one driver disabled so it wouldn't install some of the other drivers.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk

Ok...just checked,...no drivers disabled in device manager...has to be something wrong with phone...its a/most like the driver is missing from within the phone or something...isn't there some way to get this back to where I could root it and install a custom rom again without the USB to phone connectivity and use my card reader to get some sort of files back onto phone that way?

ok....well I re-did the whole flash process over, and I am now rooted again once more.....I dont know how or why or what...but I am now going strong again.....lol thanks for the help everyone,

"USB Device not recognized" - Tried everything I could think of / find

I've recently run into a problem with my phone being recognized by my computer... basically it just doesn't work anymore. This happened after upgrading from Midnight ROM 5.3 to ACS Frozen 1.2. At this point, when I plug my phone into the computer, it only charges and does not enter into usb connected mode. On the computer I get a pop-up message saying that the USB Device is not recognized. After searching through these forums and others, I have tried uninstalling / reinstalling drivers, installing PDANet, switching USB ports, and Switching USB cables... All multiple times. The best I've gotten out of the process is immediately after certain tries, I am able to get the usb mode activated, but only once. When I try to boot the phone into download mode because I'm trying to upgrade to EF02, it is no longer recognized, and then when I do a regular boot, it is still no longer recognized.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

I've also toggled USB debugging multiple times...

Which OS is your PC running?

Try downloading the android sdk and updating all its files and repo's? I had to do that for my w7 x64 pc to see my epic
Posted by some phone named the Epic.

Your drivers crapped out or your cable is flaky. Try a different cable. Also turn on USB debugging and go into Device Manager in system in control panel. Go to the unknown USB device (may say Samsung Android) and hit update driver and let it search Windows update for drivers, will take a long time for all the drivers. Then reboot and should work.

Are you using the cable that came with your phone? Mine stopped working and I had to buy a new cord off amazon.

Win 7 x64 is the OS...
I've found a temporary workaround by pulling the battery, plugging the device into the usb, starting it into download mode, and then replacing the battery, but thats not really practical for storage purposes, only for the one time install of EF02. I have used 4 different cables and reinstalled the drivers multiple times. I am going to try reinstalling the sdk and see if that helps, as well as searching drivers using Win 7 Device Manager.

Installed the tmobile samsung galaxy SII USB drivers , I am using windows vista and it does not recognize the phone. I tried another vista computer it still can not recognize it. I tried an XP computer, it still can not recognize the phone.
How do I fix this?
Tried using the USB utilities under settings --> wireless and network
Still no luck
any suggestions will be appreciated

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

Can I root from SDCard?

I bought a used stock EVO. When I plug the USB to my computer the charge light turns on but I don't get any sign that it recognizes the phone. So I can't mount for rooting. Is there a way to root from the sdcard? The phone sees the card fine. I have searched Google for a while and couldn't find anything.

have you tried a different cable? Also it is not possible to root from sdcard it requires usb connectivity from the phone to pc

Tried 2 different cables.

sounds to me like drivers are missing.

The phone doesn't give any indication that something other than a charger is connected. No screen asking how I want to connect, and no USB icons on the task bar. So I think it is a device issue not a computer issue. I have tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers.

hey,
Try a different usb port as well as rebooting your computer, make sure you have the htc drivers needed for rooting downloaded maybe? If that doesnt work maybe factory reset the phone and try again! I wish you the best of luck!

Help!! USB connection not recognized...

I connected my SG2 via USB cable to my PC and started seeing this error
"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 have tried everything from changing cables/PCs/enabling/disabling USB debugging to *#7284#, and none of them work ...
Is the device bricked, is there any hope of revival..please help i got this phone myself paying $400

Does your phone turn on and work and a connection to PC the only problem? If so your not bricked...you prolly need to install the drivers in order for your PC to recognize it so install kies on your PC

Yes phone turns on, charges through the port...just that it is not recognized by the PC....what could be wrong?

As I said previously you probably need to add the drivers on your PC install kies on your PC

Make sure you use one of your rear usb ports also. I had an issue with drivers installing in a front usb port.

Phew it turns out to be the samsung driver..I believe kies update must have corrupted and stopped the pc from recognizing the phone....

The definition of "bricked" is having a really expensive
... brick. It means your phone doesn't turn on no matter what you do to it (short of a JIG and that's not guaranteed) the "USB device not recognized thing" is a problem w many windows devices my vista computer does it all the time and I just switch ports.

Having same/similar issue
Hey, was there every a solution found for this?
I'm having basically the same problem...using the cable that came with my phone, and have installed Kies (fresh). I have tried toggling multiple settings. I tried uninstalling kies and reinstalling. I tried using pdanet for the driver. I have tried a few different roms, as well: Darkside 2.4, 2.5.1, and gingersnap 1.21. All have had the same result.
When I plug the phone in, it beeps (charging) but no notification for usb settings (disk drive, sync, etc). On my computer, it pops up "USB Device Not Recognized" and says the device has malfunctioned, etc, same as OP.
In Device Manager, it shows under USB as "Unknown Device".
I have tried this with two Windows 7 laptops, and a Windows Server 2008 R2 desktop. Also tried with a different cable. This cable was able to transfer data from an external hard drive today, so I doubt anything is wrong with it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you try the drivers separate first or Mtp mode
Sent from my revolutionized Samsung infuse

I tried without the drivers, and went to wireless and network > USB utilities. The only option in there, however, is "Connect storage to PC". If I try that, then plug it in, the phone acts like I hit the back/undo button. It doesn't show that anything is connected, nor does it give any other options. At this point on the computer, I get the "USB device not recognized" error.
This happened before installing Kies/Drivers, and still happens after installing drivers and kies.

try another usb cable
i had the exact same error, and it ended up being a good USB cable that went south

I will try a different cable when I get home - Have a month old cable for a mytouch 4g that I know works.

Okay, I tried it with the other cable, on a desktop in the rear port. same thing...Phone start to charge, and I get the error that the device malfunctioned, yada yada.
Any other ideas? Should I try to connect in Download mode?

Alrighty, so in the end, I ended up completely unroting, using terminal emulator to remove superuser.apk, busybox, and su and putting right back to read only. Then in CWM, flashed a stock 2.3.5 ROM (Zedomax). However, I now have the 2.3.5 ROM and the 2.3.6 KL1 Kernel...
I'm planning to return to Tmobile/Samsung - will the kernel and rom versions not matching be a huge red flag??
Any help is appreciated. I have tried to flash the 2.3.5 kernel, but I always get an error that it's not signed/verified.
Ideas?
I was hoping to grab the 2.3.6 OTA update, but it says there is no firmware update. Is there an update file I can put on the SD card and update using the stock recovery?
UPDATE:
I called T-Mobile Customer Service today, and went through the "troubleshooting" with them again. They ended up sending me a new one, overnight. They didn't ask anything about doing anything custom with it like rooting or other modifications.
I'm not sure if it made a difference, but I'm within 90 days, and also have the "best" insurance/warranty coverage through T-Mobile, and whoever their insurance provider is that I signed up for when I bought the phone.
Final charge is for $5, which I was told is some kind of fee from Samsung, but will appear on my bill.
Anyway, not too bad. Can't wait to get rid of touchwiz again when I get the new phone!

FYI, I just went through the same thing. Decided to finally root my phone after owning it for 2 weeks.
Phone nor the phone would recognize USB data, but would charge. Tried another cable and no luck.
Rebooted the phone. Works like a charm now.
