My sprint galaxy nexus is stuck on the phone to pc conection problem screen. I've tried all manner of button pushing to get to the Odin screen to no avail. Odin opens a com port to the phone but trying to flash anything causes Odin to stop working. ADB does not recognize the device. When I attach the phone the computer sees "Samsung USB Driver" in devices so it seems some communication is happening. I've tried all my different cables and usb ports including those that have worked before. Removing drivers via device manager and reinstalling different drivers did not work. Any ideas or links to appropriate threads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Quick update - after a helpful email from one of the JTAG services from ebay (nice guy by the way) I got the phone flashed then up and running.
I manually updated the "Samsung USB Device" with new drivers, used a different tar with a Md5 and Odin 3.04. I have a feeling the manual driver install did the trick but I'm not going back through that again to find out.

OK, did a search in this forum for "Found New Hardware SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device" as well as "connect to Kies USB XP" and other variations of these. I believe I have tried all suggestions that I have found, but advice would be appreciated
Firstly, I have a Dell mini 10 running xp that my E4GT connects to fine through Kies. My E4GT is running StarburstROM 1.9.5 with LoStKernel 1.0.0.8+EXP
My old HP pavilion, running the same version of XP however just says over and over "Found New Hardware SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device" and the new hardware sound plays about every 5 seconds.
After a fresh install of the most recent version of Kies, I tried
Different USB ports
Different cables
Making sure no files have extensions longer than 15 characters. (or was it 16...?)
Recovering the drivers through Kies
Downloading and reinstalling/reapplying the USB drivers found in various links here on XDA
Uninstalling and reinstalling Kies
Going to Device Manager, right clicking on the yellow triangle of the samsung mtp device and directing the computer to install drivers from there
Still I get an endless loop of Found new hardware. Unplugging results in "a problem occurred during hardware installation...etc" Any thoughts I haven't tried yet?
Make sure usb debugging is not checked in settings/development/applications.
what? i thought usb debugging had to be checked?
and either way it shouldn't matter if the phone is in download mode, correct? maybe i am wrong. i would assume that since he got it to work on a different computer it is not a setting on the phone and a problem with the computer reading the device's drivers.
Yeah, USB debugging is off. Tried it with it on just for giggles, but no joy. I may just have to accept that it won't connect to that compy. Can't get it to connect to Kies or even connect just for file transfer. Had same trouble with my OG epic. Maybe something about the original driver install from back then....
I'll try manually removing all drivers associated with the device and see if a reinstall from scratch (again) will work. I'll also check the .net version again, but I think I already did that. Thanks all!
So I have done something to my epic, I don't know if it would count as bricked soft bricked or whatever but when I turn it on it bootloops on samsung logo but I can still enter download mode, So I figured I would flash a stock rom with odin and start over.
I went to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
downloaded necessary drivers
installed and tried to connect to odin
I've tried every combination of powering the phone with the computer, then putting in download mode
I've tried powering on with battery booting into download mode opening odin selecting pit and tar and then pluging it in and nothing.
when the pc does recognize the phone it says device not recognized or device malfunctioned.
I saw a post somewhere with someone saying I needed to "advanced install" the drivers. So whatever that means I tried to uninstall the device from device manager while plugged in in download mode and updating the driver to the 64bit samsung usb driver and it says "unknown device already has best driver installed"
the computer I'm using is an HP DM1-4010us not that I think it would matter.
If anyone has anymore suggestions, or can suggest a method or pattern of step by step what I need to do
maybe install the drivers in a different compatibility mode?
what about odin compatibility?
System UAC is turned off and firewall is off too just in case it may be blocking odin from communicating with comm ports so I know that can't be the issue.
Thanks for listening to my overly detailed and confused ramblings and thanks in advance for any advice or help offered.

Try a different USB port and cable the stock cable sucks azz try a blackberry cable.
Have you tried a different usb port?
I have always used the cable that came with my epic, are you using it?
I'd at least open odin, put your phone into download mode and then connect it to the PC and see if with the stock cable it is recognized. That will tell you perhaps the cable you're using isn't connecting right for odin's use.
do you have any other cell phone drivers on your PC? I've seen where they conflict. Remove all cells phone drivers, reboot, install the epic drivers for win7 64bit
EDIT: damn i type slow. someone got itn there already

Heimdall fails to install drivers or detect the device, does this with AND without the samsung 64bit drivers installed.
Try downloading kies air to get drivers.

Make sure you downloaded the drivers named "Samsung_Mobile_Drivers_V1.3.8.." if not then that's the problem, if you need it I can email you the the file. Try all the usb cables in your house and all the computers as well, and take out sd card, I've also had this odin problem and I'm also sure it's your drivers since there are like 10 samsung drivers floating around lol.
Edit: nvm I downloaded the drivers from the thread you linked and they are correct.. try different cables, no battery no sd card, and different computers

Hi All, I've got a USB connection problem with my Galaxy Nexus. When I connect it to a computer, it will start charging, but doesn't show that it's connected to a computer and the computer doesn't show that a device is connected. I've tried on a few different Windows machines and don't get any change in the device manager. There is no "unknown device" nor device with an error. I've been searching the Internet and this forum, but still can't find the problem after a couple of days. Here's some details and things I've done:
I did not install the "force fast charge" kernel mod.
I've tried a couple different cables and verified that the cables worked with my wife's Galaxy II.
I've tried several different computers.
I've tried MTP and PTP storage options.
I rebooted everything several times.
I drank heavily.
I tried a factory reset.
I updated Windows Media Player to get the latest MTP software.
I installed drivers packages even though it never gets to the point of installing drivers.
Does anyone have any other ideas before I smash this thing with a hammer?
Does anyone have any ideas? At this point, I'm thinking there is a hardware problem.
Go into Menu -> System Settings -> Developer Options -> Turn on USB Debugging.
Not a guarantee, but something to rule out.
I've got USB Debuging on. Thanks for the reply.
Can anyone help? I'm having the same exact problem. My phone charge but is not detected by my computer. I am having this problem right after flashing AOKP ROM B35. This is very important, one mistake and my phone will be bricked as a computer to phone is so important !! There is nothing detected at all under device manager. Tried it on several laptop to make sure it isn't just my computer.
someone?
Uninstall the drivers you have for the s2. Reboot and install the official drivers for the galaxy nexus. Reboot. Then try.
If that doesn't work... let the phone load a while and just keep trying other ports on the computer. I saw this with my other gnex that it would take a while to realize a USB to be connected. Also make sure the USB is in completely... don't jam it in but make sure you know its All the way in. ( no pun intended) What's funny is my gnex will detect it instantly... but the other one takes a few tries.

Thank you dude. It doesn't work. Prior to installing this rom, my nexus is detected instantly. There is something wrong with the process i root or something. Now i can't do anything as It is not detected by my computer. Someone please help.
Indeed is the rom that is causing the problem. I opened NEXUS toolkit and rebooted my phone into boot image. It will sense it and i can operate from there. I've restored to factory and now my phone is being detected. I hope the thread starter gained something out of it too
Hi guys,
I'm using the I9250M for work, and attempted an update through Kies with usb debugging off. The update failed, and now I'm left with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark.
I've tried holding both volume up/down buttons and power, but cannot get into download mode or any other mode. I've taken out the battery and held the power button down for 30 seconds, then replaced the battery, but still nothing.
It seems that there is no communication between the pc and phone regardless of the drivers being found and installed.
Things I've tried:
Connecting with Kies - Installed drivers through device manager using windows update. Kies is stuck on "Connecting". Only the OMAP4440 driver could not be found so had to install the OMAP4460 driver.
OMAPFlash - this seems to work ok but not sure what to do when it says "Press any key". There is no mode change after flashing (I still have the yellow triangle).
After looking through the stickies and other tutorials I've tried using the Galaxy Nexus toolkit, PDANet, Odin and WugFresh tools, but they all seem to need usb debugging on, which I can't get to.
From past experience (with windows mobile), I've usually been able to unbrick a phone if it is recognized by a windows pc, so even though this is an android phone, I'm hoping that I can do something to get this phone back in working order.
Further info: The two Samsung usb drivers installed on my windows 7 64 bit machine are modem and CDC. I've also tried using a couple of the adb interface drivers in device manager with no luck.
If I can somehow get to the download mode, that would be half the battle won.
Any suggestions.
Cheers!
You need Odin.
Beamed from my Grouper
Thanks for your reply Mach3.2.
As mentioned in my first post, I tried Odin 1.85 and 1.87 already but the phone wasn't recognized. So, I decided to try Odin 1.87 on XP, and hey presto, the phone was recognized.
So that was my problem, I needed to use Odin on Windows XP. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks!!!
I'm currently running CM 9.1.0, so it used to work. The phone charges just fine, and I can transfer files to and from my pc via windows explorer.
In my system tray, the phone shows up as "Android Device". I think it used to show up as "Samsung Galaxy S II", or something similar. Did it change when I installed CM 9.1? I can't pin it down.
Kies and all the drivers I could think of have been updated, including those for the mobo USB. Phone drivers I grabbed right from this site: T-Mobile_t989_GSII_ADB_Drivers.
I've tried different USB ports on my PC as well as different cables. Nada.
Any ideas? I'm at the end of my rope.
Maybe the build.prop changed?

Anything other than stock won't be able to be identified on Kies. Odin try going into download mode maybe your phone will then show up on odin.
Download mode. That was the key. Thank you. That should have been obvious, but I'm not a regular twinker.
