For the past few days i have been racking my brain trying to figure out what went wrong.
For some reason I can no longer connect my phone to my computer to transfer/move files. it acts as if the drivers will not take. when i check the device manager it reads SAMSUNG_Android with the yellow !
I have reinstalled lastest drivers from Samsung site, removed all drivers and tried from Kies software/ rebooted pc and phone countless times. tired my laptop where it use to always work and same results. One this i did notice was at some point i got an error on my internal sd card and that i should format it. I backed up all files via ftp formated the internal sd and tried again.. all with the same results. I have also tried 3 different cables.
PCs both windows 7 one 32bit the other 64.
Phone e4gt rooted FI27, everything else stock
All and Any Help greatly Appreciated.
Here it comes!!
I'm hoping that I'm wrong BUT, that is exactly how my EMMC brick started. Let us know if your phone just shuts down and the only thing you will get is a blue light. There us nothing you can do then but take it back to Sprint for a free replacement. I couldn't figure my USB issues out for maybe a week and then it just died when i plugged it in to transfer photos I'd just taken 30 seconds before it died. Lets hope I'm wrong but I'm writing this with my new phone ate the exact same symptoms with my previous Sammy. Try to get your internal memory backed up now! Boot your CWM and mount your external USB. I wished I'd have.
Try a brand new cable and see if that helps. This phone seems to be especially intolerant of if connections.

Not sure what you mean by boot my CWM. External memrory is ok I can just pull that out. the internal I backed up with FTP was a pain but i did it. I hope you are wrong about the phone dying out on me I am sure they will give me a referb if that is the case.

I still say try a brand new cable. When I first had this issue I tried 3 or 4 old ones before buying a new one.
Today my brothers nexus s wouldn't charge except with one particular cable. I think that the cable and port are still within individual tolerances but together there is just too much play in the connection.

took your advice and tried a brand new cable. I am stil having the same issue. anything else i can try? I tried with both usb debugging on and off still same issue
Damn, I was sure that'd work. I guess if you were able to back it up it's time for a replacement.

Ok I have a STOCK HTC EVO 4G that has never been rooted or anything. For some reason it WON'T mount as disk drive but will charge and everything else normally! I'm on the LATEST sprint OTA too. Can anyone offer any advice or help. I have also tried HARD RESET, FACTORY RESET, & BATTERY PULL. There is also no port damage, I have never dropped phone in water or anything else either. People please help, I also have insurance with sprint

Have you tried turning usb debugging on?
Edit: While I was in line at Sprint to get a replacement, I saw a guy that took his in for the same problem. They couldn't figure it out so they ordered a replacement. If you can't get anything to work then you can try taking it in.
Also install HTC Sync if you haven't already, and if you aren't using the stock cable try a different one. USB cords longer than a certain length (2 feet maybe) will only charge your device.
If you haven't tried a different port, try that as well.

You keep the phone in charge only to root, so you can still root it.
Since it isn't rooted and you won't have to bother with unrooting, why not take it to Sprint and have them look at it? They can either tell you what is wrong and fix it or give you a replacement.

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.

.. i had same problem: tried many cords, comp, reinstalled drivers, etc.
Finally i odined the phone as if it was bricked and all was well.
To make long story longer.... initially my comp would ID my phone great, (I rooted, mass storage the card,etc). but i took the phone to Sprint for other problems. I dont know what they did but my comp did not recognize my phone when i got it back, no matter what i did.
Odined the phone and poof! everything was back to normal.

I need some serious help. I just got this phone and was getting ready to root it and here is what happened. I opened up odin, unchecked f. reset time, put victory_8G_100528.pit in pit according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SPH-D700-ODIN, then added stockdeoEC05.tar.md5 in PDA. Hit start and the screen said something about partition, the phone shut off and nothing since. I can't even get a charge. The phone has no life at all.
Please help
Try leaving your battery out for 30 min and see if you can get into download mode with usb plugged only. Also, check this thread. Its a guide for bringing a semi bricked epic back to life.

The factory usb cable is great for charging but nothing else. You need a good cable for data transfer. I always use my old Blackberry usb cables they are awesome, BB depend on a lot of data sync with the computer their cables are great.

Did you reboot your computer after installing the drivers?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
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

Hi, I am having a slight problem and am at a loss.
First of all, my phone is stock. I bought my OTG cable a few months ago and it worked just fine. I was using it to play games with my PS3 remote. However, with less time on my hands, I put the games aside and with it, I was no longer using my OTG cable.
Whenever I plug in the OTG cable, nothing happens and I don't get a notification that a USB device is connected. I have confirmed that it is not the OTG cable as I have tried it on 3 other phones, all of which responded to the cable connecting.
I am not sure when this problem started happening, but I didn't notice until yesterday when I was trying to use my OTG cable. In addition, when I plug in my phone to my laptop, my phone doesn't give me the option to turn on debugging mode. Again, I don't know when this problem actually began. I mention this because I am not sure if it is relevant to my OTG cable problem. Yes, I have checked and debugging mode is enabled.
I am not sure what to do and I have scoured the web trying to find a solution. Maybe I am searching in the wrong places, or maybe I am not just searching correctly, but I figured that my last option was coming here.
I thank you ahead for your time and hope that a solution can be found. I will be more than happy to provide any more details of needed.

Sounds like a bad USB port. You can replace it yourself, or do a warranty exchange. I don't think it's software related but try factory resetting. Or another ROM.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
It sounds similar to what my phone was doing a few days ago. I don't have the OTG, but when I plugged my phone in to the computer, it only went to charge mode and didn't give the USB options, and the computer didn't recognize it at all. I ended up flashing back to stock rooted and it started working again. I flashed CM and then AeonFluxx again and it continued working, so I assume that it was either an app I had installed or something extra I had flashed. Either way, it's working now.
TL;DR Try reflashing before you start tinkering with the hardware, that fixed a similar problem for me.

Alright, thanks guys.
I think I am just going to do a factory reset.
I am able to charge my phone just fine and it connects to the computer just fine as well (Heck, I can do what many others can't....connect to Kies). I have no problems with data transfers either.
So I assume this is a software based problem.
...I may as well root while I am at it....
Haha, I will tinker around a little bit more before I do a factory reset and come back with my results.
Thanks again!
Are you using a kernel with fast charge?
Never mind. You are not rooted so that is not the issue.
Well, it looks like the factory restore didn't solve either issue. So I ended up calling it in and hopefully the replacement phone will work. Gonna have to wait a bit though...GS3's are currently on back order.
Thanks again for the advice though guys! Appreciate it!
