Hi guys, i use a Samsung gt19300 aka s3, of recent I've been trying to access my phone through my system but I'm always getting the USB not recognised feedback, I've tried several other USB cords, but I'm still getting the same response. I'm scared it's a hardware problem, even if it is, is there still hope?

maybe if u can hook sd card to comp.
I think I read somewhere in the DIncI forum about running ADB through WiFi and doing console commands.
Not sure how it worked out tho.
When I got my first DIncII, The cable was a mother to pull out so I went to VZW corp store and they gave me a new cable.
Have you tried different cables/PCs?
Have you tried ##3424# send? You need a sense based ROM to use that, but it should get you into DIAG mode to use ADB with minimal OS interference.
The port its connected with a ribbon cable so try with back off holding the port in different positions.
Applying slight force in different directions and holding it there.
Maybe poster putty would help to lock it to that position long enough to achieve the ADB.
Good luck.
im experiencing the same issue, i cannot get my computer to recognize the phone after trying multiple cables. wireless abd seems to require root access to get it working and i have already restored to unrooted 2.2. how thorough does verizon check phones they receive back? will they notice an unlocked bootloader?
Not sure if Verizon will have the phone long enough to care - do they check returned phones or just forward them to HTC for the standard refurbishing process?
The USB/charging port just went in our 6-month old Incredible 2, and it's only now that I've found threads at Verizon's website of many others complaining about this model having a chronic issue with this portion of its hardware. So, I guess we'll have to expect more refurbished replacements until the two-year contract is due. Disappointing, especially in light of how well it operates when the port is working as expected.

I ended up just screaming and holding the USB cable at an obscure angle to restore the connection
As for the wireless ADB and over tcp and whatnot, so far what i've found has only been theoretical, nobody has posted anything about it working in reality, and this stuff is far beyond my knowledge
So I got a bricked Nitro HD from a friend. It was showing the dreaded QHUSB_DLOAD device, meaning it would not go into download mode either. I thought about getting a medusa box and doing the jtag restore myself, but I didn't want to invest so much money. I was trolling ebay for phones with broken screens/cases so I could replace my motherboard, but then I saw that MobileTechVideos would unbrick my device for $50 (plus one way shipping to Bryan, TX).
This was cheaper than buying a for-parts one off ebay, so I decided to do it. But it came back to me in a sorry state:
First, I plugged it into my computer USB port via a cheap type-A-to-micro adapter that worked for my LG vortex. As it started charging I saw they put cyanogenmod 9 on it. But it was freezing every other second. Also the camera didn't work, the wifi was broken, and it would only intermittently detect anything on my computer (lots of that USB detection sound followed by the USB unplug sound). I didn't yet have a SIM card, so I couldn't test the mobile connectivity.
I figured out that it was freezing every other second only when plugged into my computer. It would go from charging to discharging every time it froze. When I plugged it into a normal AC/DC converter it charged with no freezing.
Then I saw that it was a very old nightly build of CM9, so the first thing I did was download a "stable" CM10.zip for the p930. I installed it with CWM from the sdcard. This got the wifi and camera working, but everything else was the same as before.
I took the phone apart and I could see where the soldering had to be done on the circuit board--right next to the USB port. I figured one of the delicate USB signal traces got too much heat.
I got a SIM, which didn't work at all for connecting to a mobile network. The IMEI showed 0, and the baseband was for a different model. I tried to update the baseband and firmware, but that didn't do anything.
Then to my surprise the USB worked when I put it in download mode. I decided to try starting over at the unbricking guide. I put the Korean V10F KDZ on there, which fixed the mobile network connection - I could make calls. But now the WIFI didn't work among other small annoying interface issues with the Korean ROM. Also the USB now did absolutely nothing except charge the battery. No matter the mode, there was no USB communication - not even the flaky intermittent detections I saw before.
So now I'm stuck with no root, no CWM, no custom ROMs. Unless I'm mistaken, every avenue to root the device from V10F involves ADB over USB. But the USB is definitely broken for everything but download mode. Perhaps because the USB traces are good enough for lower USB synchronization speeds, or maybe the USB host for download mode uses different undamaged wire traces?
I think the best I can do now is stock ROMs with no root. I have to say I expected more from the unbricking service.
It occurred to me that it was my friend who put the retarded version of CM9 on the phone, and MobileTechVideos simply restored the booting functionality.
Problem now is that the mobile connectivity WAS working until the carrier banned the phone for having a 0 IMEI. So now I have to find out if that can be repaired without JTAG or ADB.
Hey, I got another USB cable and it works! It was just the adapter that was a piece of crap.
I restored the IMEI with QPST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802024
Now I can root and install custom roms!
I am on the same computer, and have had everything properly working in the past. anyway, i gave my girlfriend my evolte, and i picked up my epic again. im having data problems and probably gotta reprovision the phone via the bootable sd rom. I didnt have trouble mounting my sd card via usb cable in the past, but now it doesnt do anything but charge. i tried jumping in recovery and mounting it through cwm but no go. any suggestions? i do have the usb driver and had this whole fiasco with getting the thing to mount in the past but ironed it out, and now it seems its at it again.
ok. it was the cable. the same cable in the same port that i never removed stopped working. god is this phone picky. it doesnt even like what it used to like
That's Samsung for you. I am now on my second Samsung device and they are so different in the functions, it is ridiculous. Before the android devices, I actually come from Palm (webOS). So much better. Unable to brick. Easy to tweak. Easy to customize. They just couldn't stay up on the development side (new phones), plus they sold out to HP. Bummer...
Hello,
So last year I took the plunge and got myself one of these extremely overrated fancy touch screen phones. Ever since day one, I've been having issues with the phone not communicating with the USB, yet my A516 had no problems, aren't newer phones supposed to be better?
It's not driver related or computer related. My brother has the same phone and his communicates with the PC all the time with no issues, his is the T-999
Last year, I used his cable and it worked after a few tries with my phone, and was able to quickly root it, but after that it shat the bed again.
I tried again last week and it worked both on my laptop and my PC, but now it has the same problem, very frustrating.
I've tried a few USB cables and a few computers as well, all end up with the same problem. I used KIES, the Snapdragon Toolkit and the drivers off of Samsung's website. I even installed Linux on my PC hoping that it would solve it, but nope, nada.
Jiggling the USB cable on the phone does not do anything either
Anyone have an ideas what it could be?
As of now, I am running a Rooted S3 I747 with AOKP 4.2.2 Build 3.6.2013
Thanks.
EDIT:
When using the S3 Toolkit, there is a serial number, but it shows it as offline.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers.
I have installed kids and then smart switch.
My old note 4 that was defective shows up in Windows but the replacement shows as 'unknown device'
I tried safe mode to un install drivers and different USB ports.
Is my device defective? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Maybe try going to developer options and checking if usb debugging is turned off. Try turning it on. Try a different usb port. Try to switch between different usb modes in the notification area when connected. Last but not least factory reset your phone in recovery mode and try connecting it after.
I am experiencing the same problem but I have another problem as well. My phone is an unrooted Galaxy Note 4 running 5.0.1 w/ VRU2BOG5 build. I have tried just about all the USB ports on my computer and get the same result, "unknown device". I have uninstall and reinstalled kies and the associated drivers and still get the same result. I have factory reset the phone and still the same. I was even able to do a firmware upgrade and initialization via kies and still the same problem.
The other problem I am faced with is I can not seem to get any OTG cable to work on my device. Could this be hand in hand?
I am not sure if you (the OP) have noticed but when you installed kies, have you gotten an error for your ethernet controller under other devices in your device manager?
I really like the phone but if I can't 1) root it or 2) transfer data via the usb port (especially through the OTG cable), the phone is useless to me. Any help would be very appreciated.
The USB port may be defective. I replaced mine on my note 2 myself for cheap. But if the phone is still under warranty let them deal with it. You guys tried different cables/computers?

I am not entirely sure it's a bad port but could be. On my note, everything besides a flash drive via OTG cable works. Oh and the computer but it will connect to my laptop. I dunno I'm about to sell the phone.

I need all the luck I can get My computer has had issues before but it has since been fixed. I can hook any other device to it with no issues. As far as phones go, I'm not entirely sure which one I want. Guess it doesn't matter much since not many can be rooted.
