usb issues

So I've tried connecting my phone to several computers and they all end up saying that the device is not recognized. Because of this, I can't even odin my phone to stock or anything else. So I can't exactly call sprint or samsung about it. It was working fine up until just now. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Did you download the Samsung driver ?
Simply AOSP 3.1.1

Yes, sounds like your data cable is going bad. Grab another one. Palm Pre or Blackberry has heavy duty cables. Heard there was a good one for $2 on Amazon. Get fresh drivers from Samsung's site or from here:

Hope this helps.

Yea I've gotten the right drivers. Right now, I'm in the process of doing root and flashing roms without a computer... using rom manager. Maybe a new rom will fix it. I'm going to order a new data cable and hope that will work.

I've tried 4 different cables on multiple computers. Mine says USB not recognized as well. How do you root and flash roms with rom manager???

Hey man, same thing was happening to me, I ended up bricking my epic with the stock cord, but I grabbed my brothers evo cord, and worked first try, dump the stock cable definitely.

I used this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062395
Also, instead of using cwm 2.x, you can go the development forum and get the new cwm and flash that instead, just make the necessary adjustments (i.e. when flashing using ROM manager, tap 3.x instead of 2.x etc. etc.)
I am now running gingerbread on here. And I am going to try a new cable that I ordered later this week.

[Q] SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device: Failed!!

My Samsung Galaxy S2X was working fine after the ICS update, but since two days I,m unable to connect the phone to my laptop. It tries to install the software automatically and after a while it give out an error saying that Samsung Mobile MTP Device failed. Earlier, the phone directly gave the option in the notification bar to connect as an USB storage but now it shows up Connected as a Media device.
I've tried every option available, from deleting files with 16 characters to re-installing Kies and the USB drivers. I tried connecting the phone to different computers but the problem still persists.
Another issue after the update was that the Bluetooth transfer rate is very slow with ~30kbps transfer rate which earlier in GB was 3Mbps+.
I'm wondering if its got something to do with the new ICS update or am I the only one with this issue? The device is on stock ICS and is not rooted.
Thanks for any HELP...
EDIT:
Solved the problem by doing a factory reset.

Update -*> Uninstalled everything, re installed still didnt work, updated Kies, still didnt work
I tryed the debug USB mode still didnt work
i Tryed differents usb cables
Tryed Differents usb connections
Still doesnt work !!
I dont know if theres any issues with the fact that I have a non-legit Windows 7 tho...
If anyone else got any ideas please share

Uninstalled the divers, deleted registry entries and re installed the drivers.Hate to say that it still won't work.

Which system? Windows or android? and what do you mean by "restoring"? Factory settings?
I have been having the same problem for 2 months now. I don't know what's wrong. I have tried EVERYTHING! Nothing works!
I even installed the drivers while the phone is turned off, turned on with debug mode and when battery is taken off while connected: the OMAP4430 drivers: and still it didn't work, lol. I don't know what the hell is wrong with that f***er, lol? It won't give in!
I removed all Kies with all drivers many times, like 6 or 7 times, connected the phone to pc while it's off then turned the pc on, changed cable, usb port, tried different computers, tried this *#7284# thing, etc... The only thing i didn't try is black magic and voodoo! Or maybe i should try hypnosis? Or electric DC shock?
Anyway, if you have found a solution, please let me know

Wow...2 months is quite some time. Please do a factory reset on your Android by going to settings-> backup and reset-> factory data reset.
Your phone should reset back to factory settings and you're good to go.

[Q] Options For Connecting To PC Are Missing

Device and Software: HTC Inspire 4g, JellyTime r29(previously Android Revolution HD 6.3.1)
Problem:
Cannot choose how to connect to PC(no usb options appear on the phone), the phone starts charging as soon as I plug it in.
Possible Cause:
I connected my phone to a USB port on a car stereo and my phone and the stereo kept flipping back and forth between screens. I disconnected the phone immediately, but the USB connected icon was still in my notification bar. I restarted the phone and everything seemed fine until I tried to plug my phone in 3 days ago.
Things I've Tried Already:
-Restarting the phone
-Pulling the battery
-Trying different USB Ports
-Trying different cables
-Trying different PCs
-Trying USB Debugging both on and off
-Trying fastboot on and off
-Trying an "auto-mount" app(Multi-Mount SD)
-Trying "USB Mass Storage" App for Jelly Bean
-Setting Disk Drive mode as default and turning the "Ask Me" option on and off
-Reflashing the ROM (followed these directions for flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731)
-Flashing the USB fix found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24198708&postcount=90
-Flashing a new ROM
-Searching for a solution(derp).

I was thinking about it, but this one has been working fine for months so It seems unlikely to me that that's the cause, especially when i haven't come across anyone running the same ROM with the same problem.
I'll still think about it, I dunno what ROM I'd switch to though. I liked CyanogenMod 7 but that one wouldn't run videos correctly for some reason :\

Yup. I just tried using USB Mass Storage app for JB, and that doesn't work either, although apparently the app does know that the USB is plugged in.

Most likely a port problem on your device. Go to a repair shop and see how much they charge

Try going to a fully stock state (S-ON, stock no root) and see if it helps. If not, definitely a port problem.

I found this one(the bottom one), but it says I have to be connected to a PC to get it to work. Also, I'm from America.

First flash a different rom see if the same issue happens in that rom. You can also boot into recovery and try mounting the sd card before flashing a ruu. You may also want to reinstall the drivers for your phone (the drivers on your pc).

Yeah, sorry about that. I skimmed through the post. After submitting the reply I saw that you already tried a different rom. You could give that a shot, installing htc sync. Have you tried the sd card on a different phone, or connected directly to the computer or a different sd card on your phone? Besides this I'm out of ideas.

[Q] Att S3 Wont Connect to Computer

I currently rooted using the latest version of the Sons of Android ROM. Last night I made a back-up of it and flashed the Synergy ROM to test it for a friend. When I restored my back-up, I could no longer connect to the computer. I tried to reinstall the drivers through Kies and also direct from Samsung. The phone charges when connect to the USB port, but does not connect. I have tried two computer so I think it is the phone.
I search the forums and didnt find anything that help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

make sure you're using the factory cable for the device.
try another USB port, preferably a port directly connected to the computers motherboard.
delete the current USB drivers for your phone on the computer. reboot it. in task manager, stop any kies background processes. reinstall drivers. reboot and see if that takes.

Did you make a nandroid of the previous rom ? Flash back to that . Flashing any rom made for the NA version of the Galaxy s3 will NOT brick your phone. NO physical damage will happen in any way.
Yes check the cord to make sure its not that....samsung phones are picky....even with the same cord.
Fast charge is usually in the kernel settings menu. It will be something you would had to enable, I've never seen it come enabled on a rom. What kernel are you on ? I don't think you see that setting on TW based rom's anyway ( I assume you are on SoA right now?)
Have you tried to do a complete wipe and flash another rom ?

I have a nandroid of my stock (after rooted) ROM, but it is on my computer now, not on the phone so I cant access it. I also had a nandroid of Sons of Android that was connecting just fine before I flashed Synergy ROM. I restored the Sons of Android ROM (nandroid) that was still on my external SD card and that didnt fix it.
I just did a complete wipe (Cache, Davlik Cache, System, Factory Reset, and Internal Memory), then installed the Wicked ROM with the stock kernel. It still doesnt work.
I tried two different cord on two different computers with no luck.

I used Mobile Odin to flash back completely to stock, and the usb still would not connect. I do not know what else to do. I will have to remove the SD Card and use a card reader for now. I can flash back to stock when if I want to take it in and get it fixed or replaced.

[Q] Unknown IMEI Number and Baseband

I will provide more details as needed but wanted to try to keep this post brief and to the point.
I have a Tmobile note 2 that shows the IMEI number as unknown and the same for the broadband.
I have no backup prior to this happening.
I have tried flashing stock roms though odin and radios though recovery, hasnt helped.
Now tools like QPST are not working for me. I can get the phone into debugging mode. I can ADB to it. QPST can detect the port that the phone is on, device manager shows the port. But when i try reading or writing to it, it give an error saying phone not detected/available.
I do have an NV backup that i made with qualcoms NV Tools, but that NV tools will not connect to the phone either. It detects the com port but once it tries to connect it says the phone disconnected.
Basically the same deal with NV Writer.
My brother also has a note 2, i made a full back up of his in TW recovery.
I restored it on mine, making sure that the radio and EFS are also checked.
But it didnt help, which i found wierd because everyone mentions how the data is in the EFS partition. I figured i could atleast get it to show my brothers IMEI number and then that be enough for me to use the other tools to over write it to the correct number.
Open to pretty much anything at this point. Will gladly give any more info thats needed too.

I'd try calling the mobile and having them reset your phone on there end tell them your missing your imei had a similar problem on att and Samsung infuse
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Well, restored my brothers note 2 to stock. Installed TW recovery. Made a full backup including radio and EFS.
Copied it to my note2 and restored it. My problem still persists.
Was thinking of maybe trying to use KIES to do a firmware restore. But i cant get my note or his to connect to the software. It says its not supported after trying to connect for like 2 min. My S3 connects with no problems. No idea why his isnt connecting, i can kind of understand with mine being screwed.
I have a good note 2 thats my bros. Need to find away to use it to restore mine... Any ideas?

Have you tried reinstalling the newest drivers for your pc? Get a different usb cord.
If a known good phone will not connect (brother's) I would suspect a communication issue. Once you can get both to connect, Odin yours with the stock rom. Can't hurt unless you do the Odin wrong.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Well tried with 2 dif cables. and as i said my s3 works too.

I would ODIN in to stock using Mr. Robinson prerooted or non rooted firmware. its totally preference if you want rooted or not. but its simple as can be. let me know if you need help. Sounds like your having a problem with kies not recognizing your device? or is your PC not recognizing it either?

I would try uninstalling the drivers and Kies, then reinstalling everything. Or perhaps try with a different computer.
There is more than one thing happening here if a second identical, known good, phone is having problems add well. The PC is part of the issue especially if you've tried 2 different cables.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Odin can solve most of the problems, if it doesn't you will need to contact T-Mobile, can't tell you what to tell them when you call them because you voided your warranty by rooting, good luck

Odin can solve most of the problems, if it doesn't you will need to contact T-Mobile, can't tell you what to tell them when you call them because you voided your warranty by rooting, good luck
The toolkit in the note 2 original android development has all the tools you will need

I don't recommend fraud. Not only did he void his warranty, but caused the problem. The imei doesn't get erased on a stock phone.

Of course not fraud, but sometime T-Mobile still replaces it, base on luck I guess

Oh okay, well by making up a story and portraying it as not his fault that is the definition of fraud. So I guess he could call and trell then the truth and maybe they do something, but that's not what you suggested.
