After installing the JB OTA update today, I cannot connect to my pc via usb. The phone charges when plugged in, but the "usb connected" message doesnt pop up, and it does not appear in my computer.
I am using all stock, the same computer/cables that I used and worked before the JB update. I have changed no settings on the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Maybe need to update drivers?
Uninstall all sammy stuff first. Kies, drivers, etc.
Download latest drivers, ver 1.5.9.0

Thanks, but that did not help.
The computer doesn't even seem to recognize that something is being plugged in; no notifications, no usb connected sound, nothing. It's as if its just using the computer as a charger.
Fixed.
After reinstalling the drivers, I had to power down the phone, and then power it back up. Choosing the reboot option did not help, I needed to specifically power down.
Thanks!
it still does not work for me it is driving me nuts it worked yesterday pre update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF HELP
Hmm. When you reinstalled your drivers did you uninstall all previous software?

First, check to see if usb debugging is still turned on. Mine turned off after the update. Secondly, it's always recommended to do a factory restore after any update. Try both of those and let me know how it works.
USB debugging is on but im not going to do a factory reset do you how long it took me to get my phone perfectly how i want it

It's a shot in the dark, but i had issues on my PC when trying to connect my Vibrant to the front USB ports. I had to connect it in the back, to get it to work. Also, Did you run windows update yesterday? maybe it installed an update that is conflicting with your device. Check out device manager to make sure there are no conflicted drivers in there. If that doesn't work, try connecting to another computer. Is Kies air working?
Its a win xp and kies never connects
My wife has a T-Mobile GSII. I successfully rooted it via ODIN to CWM-SuperSU-v0.87. My wife wanted me to put it back to stock so I unrooted it to T989UVLE1. It was killing the battery (and some other weird things began happening) so I want to re-root it but now the USB port is not working so I can't ODIN it back to the rooted MOD.
When I plug in the USB cable connected to my PC it charges but it doesn't connect for data. My computer doesn't see it, and it doesn't show the USB icon in my notifications on the phone either. When I try to boot to recovery, it goes into download mode (even if it's not connected to a USB cable). ODIN doesn't see that it's connected so I can't change the ROM.
Now, I also have the SGH-T989 and used this same process successfully. When I connect it to the same PC with the same cable I can do anything I want, ODIN works, I can get to recovery mode when it's not plugged into a USB. It's as if my wife's phone thinks it's connected to a USB even though it's not and when it is connected it doesn't recognize it. I'm thinking I could send it in for warranty figuring the USB port is dead but the ROM that's on there isn't stock and I'm afraid I'll get into hot water with TMO. For grins, I uninstalled all of my Samsung drivers and reinstalled them, and did the same thing with Kies. My phone connects fine, my wife's doesn't at all.
Anyone have a good idea? I've looked around on here all day and can't find anything that will work for me.
Once you Odin back to stock on your wife's phone you lost the recovery. Use [URL="https://www.dropbox.com/s/jdfj55rcj6p5c7c/odin3%20v1.85.exe]this version of Odin[/URL].
Remove battery
Open Odin (the one I provided)
Put battery back in after about 20 seconds
Hold volume up and volume down
Connect phone to computer via USB
Download mode should pop up on the phone and Odin should recognize your phone
After that just Odin a recover onto her phone and flash supersu to root

Problem with your link...
The ODIN in your post doesn't lauch an ODIN session. Instead I get a dialog box that says, "Odin3.ini" and then seven boxes with an OK button. Now I'm really baffled.

Sorry about that man. That was my faul, the dialogue means you need the ini file for Odin. I've reuploaded everything in a zip file here. Just unzip to your desktop and follow the same steps I provided earlier.
*note* the zip file includes the two Odin files you need...just open Odin.exe. A recovery tar file and a superuser zip file...the superuser zip I provided outdated so just use your root zip file.

Didn't Work
Okay, so that returned the same result as before. Your method also didn't make my computer (or ODIN) think it was connected to anything, so I'm unable to get the root onto the phone.
What can I try next?

You can try reinstalling the drivers. If you don't have them you can download it here. Just run the exe file. Also if you have Samsung kies on your computer that could be causing the interference so remove it

I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers as well as Kies. Remember, I have another phone of the same model that is easily recognized by my computer AND ODIN. I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with my wife's USB port. That's why I want to restore it to stock, so I can get a warranty replacement.

After re-reading your OP I see you can't even get into recovery. I don't think there is anything you can do but take it to T-Mobile and hope for the best. Or send it to Samsung...
Have you tried using a PC which you have not used for flashing your own?
I realize its unlikely to make a difference, but trying to flash your wifes using a "virgin" PC is at least worth a shot...
Chris
Another thing you could try is disconnect the phone from the PC (leave it powered up and everything), load up device manager in windows then plug the phone in and watch for device manager to flicker or do anything. I'm thinking maybe your phones are the same (T989's) but possibly a different revision that requires a different driver. Device manager will tell you if the phone was able to start or not. One thing that SOMETIMES works with windows computers (although it sounds silly) is to use a different USB port. I always use the one on the back of my computer as it is directly connected to the motherboard and thus offers a shorter path for the data to travel. I have had issues using front USB ports with devices before (my MP3 player will time out during large data transfers if I use the front USB port sometimes).
Also, is "debug mode" turned on on your phone? It is under development tools. If it is off, try turning it on. And with it on, do you get any results from running "adb devices" (presuming you have the android SDK installed or a copy of adb floating around on your computer from some other tools)?
And lastly, does the phone charge when the USB cable is plugged in? It is unlikely that 2 of the pins on the USB connection are bad without them all being bad.
Good Ideas!
Well, I've tried a couple of those ideas. The Device Manager idea revealed nothing. Nothing changes in the Device Manager when I plug in the phone. The phone DOES charge, so like you said, it's likely a software issue not hardware since two of the pins seem to work fine. BTW- the phone acknowledges it has been plugged in, too, by beeping. The computer does not.
I had tried using different computer USB ports because I have found the same to be true as you: the ports on the back go directly to the motherboard but the ones on the front are actually going through a hub, though it's inside the case, the computer sees it as a hub.
I don't have ADB Devices. I don't have any experience with that program...can you advise me? Next up, trying on a virgin computer...
Thanks for the ideas. I've got to get this worked out or my wife's going to DIE. Currently, the home button doesn't take her home, it takes her to this weird Clock App based lock screen/screen saver. Anyone have an idea how to correct that problem itself?
UPDATE: I tried to install and run ADB Devices and it didn't result in recognition by my computer.
Sending in For Warranty
It appears that this is my problem.
I took it to TMO and they approved a warranty replacement for a faulty USB port. Just in case anyone wondered.
Hello all,
I have flashed ROMs via recovery and Odin plenty of times. I would say I generally know what I am doing and I flash ROMs on the regular. This is my second Samsung device and have been rooting/flashing for almost two years, so not a noob.
I was stuck in a bootloop on my Note and it wouldn't even let me boot into recovery, so I decided to Odin and back to stock and try again... I got the one-click, phone recognized, yellow COM box popped up, hit start, walked away for 10-15 minutes. Come back and there has barely been any progress at all... I could barely see the green progress bar. I figured something is wrong because I've done this before and it only takes a minute at most. What I did next is what I think messed me up...I pulled my phone and closed the Odin dialogue box and tried to redo it. Problem is, nothing I could do would get me the Yellow COM box. The phone goes into download mode but Odin doesn't seem to want to recognize it. I've tried EVERYTHING. When I boot the phone normally, I get the Samsung error screen saying there was an issue with a firmware upgrade and I should try Kies. I download Kies and attempt to upgrade firmware that way, but I get to the last step where it says "Upgrade Firmware" or something like that on the button but the button remains greyed out and I can't click it... I have tried everything. I downloaded the toolkit and installed drivers but each time I do that, the driver install freezes my PC at the end of the install. Same thing happens if I try to get the drivers from the Samsung site directly, the computer freezes. I have rebooted a million times and tried every USB port there is. I have had the computer try to "set up" the deivce while it's in download mode a few times but usually hangs at the end (probably bc drivers not properly installing). Once or twice it setup fine, but still Odin won't recognize. I think the driver thing is moot because it was recognizing the device before this mess just fine and it recognizes and accesses my wife's S2 just fine.
I am at my wit's end. Did I destroy my phone???? Is there nothing I can do to salvage it?
I just aged about five years in the last 2 hours. Please someone help!!!
Longshot, but try installing the toolkit on a different system and try again. I've had drivers from different systems mixed up and it worked fine when installed on a fresh system. Probably not your problem, but worth a try before trying to warranty your phone. Good Luck.
Also try a different usb cable.

Different cable didn't work.
I'll try a different system but I'm not holding out hope.
Will warranty work if in Odin mode the phone says that I have a custom ROM and custom recovery installed???
Am I out of luck here? I always thought that if it boots up, it's not completely bricked. Shouldn't a PC see it if I get the drivers installed???
If no computer sees it and the Download/Odin screen shows Root and custom ROM/Recovery so no warranty replacement, what are my options?

You say it finds your wife's phone just fine and she has the same model? Have you tried installing the drivers manually through the driver update in device manager?
As to other options, if you're paying for the additional insurance Sprint offers, and are willing to pay the $200 deductable (as opposed to the $500 replacement cost) you could always turn it on and drop it in a bucket of water. They won't be able to pull root/rom info from the unit at that point. Otherwise I think it's a matter of luck as to what kind of techs work in the store you go to. I've heard stories about those who were sticklers and those who didn't care (the latter tend to those who root their own phones). All you can do is ask, hypothetically of course.
Wish I could be more help. Good luck.
Please help!!! Does anyone have any other advice?

Appreciate your help. Wife's phone is a different model, but also Samsung.
I do not have the Sprint insurance unfortunately. I will probably try to go through the Samsung warranty, but not holding my breath....

If you can get the drivers to extract (I know it crashes when you try to install) you could still try the manual update method for your phone's drivers. (can't count how many times I've had to do that for peripherals and my win7 laptop that isn't certified for win7)
Did you try completely uninstalling the drivers before you tried to reinstall them?

I would download the tool kit and reinstall the drivers from their. I had the exact same problem months ago. took hours of trying to flash different stuff to get it to work. make sure that you try to unplug then replug in the cord and I think you must use a cord that is made for your phone. Mine wont work unless I use the one supplied with it which is weird but I read somewhere that the prongs are longer or something.open the oneclick oden then plug the phone in and let it sit for a min or 2

I'm going to try tonight on a different computer.
So you think I should do the following:
1. install drivers
2. open odin one-click
3. put phone in download mode
4. plug phone in
5. even though yellow COM thing should pop up right away let it sit for a while
6. flash one-click back to stock
I'll give it a shot after work.

I have actually had this happen before. I couldnt get anything to work even the one click. So what I did was use the toolkit to flash a custom recovery with the stock kernel. Then when it rebooted I held the volume up home, and power buttons. Go into recovery and nandriod back to my previous rom and it worked. But my pc did recognize my device.

I didn't know you could flash a recovery to the phone without booting to Android. The toolkit says boot to android as pre-req for installing recovery. If I could get to recovery I could fix this. I'll give it all a shot again tonight.

Hello everyone...
I was updating the phone recently, and went to reboot it (cyanogen mod ROM btw) and now I have no idea what it did but it is now stuck on the Samsung logo, and their is no recovery I can use on it. Only DL mode works.
I tried to use Odin to relfash but the problem is on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers, they install the drivers, but they still fail to recognize the phone when I plug it in!
I have tried different USB ports, a full driver uninstall, multiple USB cords and the computer refuses to recognize the phone saying "USB Device not recognized"
Again, the drivers install fine, and I did a reboot after each install and uninstall. No luck.
I didnt even install drivers on my W8 netbook and I was able to flash back TWRP using Odin and Download mode yesterday when my attempt at flashing TWRP 2.6.0.4 originally failed.
Fire up download mode, then open up Odin (you should see a COM port open), load up what you need to install, then flash.
What are you trying to flash using ODIN? A bootloader or a ROM?
"BootLooping GhostBrick"
Holy crap! you too? I'm experiencing the same thing too bro. its my girlfriend's phone tho. she's borrowing my Nexus 4 while I work on fixing her SGS2...I seem to have contracted a serious case of the BootLooping GhostBrick, just like you did, right after updating. I went through the same steps troubleshooting as you did, and ...its a guess, but I'm starting to figure the solution will probably include: 1. using ADB to push sum files to the phone, or otherwise somehow reflashing stock firmware from the PC.
2. Re-Root the dam thing and flash a kernel with a recovery (like CWM or TWRP) using rom manager...and 3. Considering installing a ROM of my choice Like PACMAN, or Cyanogenmod.....hmm...Yum
anyway, the search for the vaccine to this dreadful affliction begins. Please post if you find something, I will too.

Re-installing Odin and drivers still didn't get Odin to recognize the device in download mode. Windows 7 isn't assigning it any COM port, and nothing can be flashed unless Odin sees the com port the device is on. I used Goo Manager to flash TWRP 2.6.0.3 over my previous 2.6.0.0 version and now I'm stuck on samsung logo, can't reboot to recovery and PC won't recognize device in download mode. Anyone know a solution?

Welcome to ur first soft brick, and as I said in ur other post u need to disable or removes Samsung kies before trying to use Odin as long as any part of kies is running even in background Odin won't see the device, also make sure u use factory/data approved USB wires, also try diff ports, sometimes Odin won't see com3 but will see com5, be patient and follow this and ull be fine, also twrp2.6.0.3 has been known to cause sftbricks, DL 2.6.0.4 from techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules its the newest and 4.3 compatible

It's not a matter of trying different com ports, I can't get the PC or Odin to recognize the phone in download mode despite uninstalling kies, installing the latest drivers twice, 3 different OEM cables, multiple usb ports, nothing. when I plug it in, Windows doesn't make any sound like with other usb devices, nor does it try and search for drivers. Are there any other options short of JTAG repair?

I was going to reply earlier, but I got side tracked and this guy is literally having the exact same problem as me. I tried multiple OEM cables, and ports and Windows recognized it but it still won't let me USE it. Odin (after re-install) still shows no connections or ports.
Also, yeah this phone isn't mine either, my Dads. He is using my old S3 for now and is quite mad with me hahaha.
So yeah, I have to re-cap...
-Updated through Goomanager.... (the culprit I am guessing)
-Rebooted
-Got stuck on the Galaxy S 2 screen
-Plugged in with 4 USB cables to three different USB ports
-Uninstalled and reinstalled Odin numerous times, each with a reboot between.
-Odin fails to recognize it
-Windows KNOWS IT IS THERE, and makes a sound when plugged in, however it says "USB Device not recognized"
Any more ideas?
Thanks for the help to guys it is very much appreciated. I will donate to the person that can help me out of this

Kies is no where in sight. I will try yet another PC as well as searching for Hercules specific drivers (any link?) When I get home. Thank you in the mean time

Omg....
I am experiencing the same problem. Did anyone find the solution?
Probably a faulty USB port. My computer shows that message all the time, only one of them works correctly. If not, you just need to install the correct USB Drivers, because even if you don't have them it should recognize your phone as a Samsung phone but will say that the drivers did not install correctly.
i am currently on the 23/11 builld of the cm 10.1everything works fine but when i connect the phone to odin or adb it dosent recognise the phone.odin works fine with my galaxy tab 2 on the same computer .i flash a lot and run into problems alot so i need odin to work correctly.could this be a problem with cm
the usb drivers are installed through kies.the pc is a wn 8 system .usb. debugging is on and the download mode is also fine .the pc also recognises my phone and shows it as usualjust odin not working
i need help super urgently otherwise i will be stuck. on cm10.1
are you sure your device has been detected and the driver installed completely?
you can re-install your samsung usb driver, and kill Kies application before connecting your device
@dharisd2, surely you tried restarting the phone, didn't you? Just in case...

Yes, as far as i know ODIN will detect your device only when your device enter Download Mode (Vol Down+Home+Power), and will show which COM port has been detected
