Help! "device descriptor request failed" - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated!
So my 925T won't connect on USB to any computer. I've tried a number of laptops ranging from windows 7-10. All come back with the same error in the device manager. The error will say the same thing no matter what state the phone is in. The device is currently FRP Locked(My phone, but I accidentally turned off Dev options and restarted it) download mode won't work because of the same error. Can't get into recovery. =[
Last week in a hail Mary, I tore into the phone and replaced the USB board. So I know that's not it....
Any clue what could be going on here? Or atleast a way to get past the FRP lock without Odin or recovery?
Thank you all in advance.

Uh oh, upgrading rom = usb device not recognized!

I was upgrading, actually replacing rom, got error 260, phone locked up, now after reboot usb device not recognized. Had recently flashed it no problems, just had a few lockups, so thought I'd reflash it. Tried it in laptop and desktop winxp, and desktop with vista. Any idea if I bricked it? Any solution?
Phone works and charges, just cannot get the phone to be see properly by computer. Thanks

Check and make sure that "Enable advanced network functionality" is checked
in the "USB to PC" option in settings.
Thanks for reply. This was helpful. It was checked. I unchecked then rechecked it several times, did a repair reinstall on activesync; Now, it works! Don't know why it works, but thanks for insight, I'm sure it helped.
Still can't flash rom, no matter what and on different computers I get the error 260. Help, anyone. Thanks

Help!! USB connection not recognized...

I connected my SG2 via USB cable to my PC and started seeing this error
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
I have tried everything from changing cables/PCs/enabling/disabling USB debugging to *#7284#, and none of them work ...
Is the device bricked, is there any hope of revival..please help i got this phone myself paying $400
Does your phone turn on and work and a connection to PC the only problem? If so your not bricked...you prolly need to install the drivers in order for your PC to recognize it so install kies on your PC

Yes phone turns on, charges through the port...just that it is not recognized by the PC....what could be wrong?
As I said previously you probably need to add the drivers on your PC install kies on your PC

Make sure you use one of your rear usb ports also. I had an issue with drivers installing in a front usb port.
Phew it turns out to be the samsung driver..I believe kies update must have corrupted and stopped the pc from recognizing the phone....

The definition of "bricked" is having a really expensive
... brick. It means your phone doesn't turn on no matter what you do to it (short of a JIG and that's not guaranteed) the "USB device not recognized thing" is a problem w many windows devices my vista computer does it all the time and I just switch ports.

Having same/similar issue
Hey, was there every a solution found for this?
I'm having basically the same problem...using the cable that came with my phone, and have installed Kies (fresh). I have tried toggling multiple settings. I tried uninstalling kies and reinstalling. I tried using pdanet for the driver. I have tried a few different roms, as well: Darkside 2.4, 2.5.1, and gingersnap 1.21. All have had the same result.
When I plug the phone in, it beeps (charging) but no notification for usb settings (disk drive, sync, etc). On my computer, it pops up "USB Device Not Recognized" and says the device has malfunctioned, etc, same as OP.
In Device Manager, it shows under USB as "Unknown Device".
I have tried this with two Windows 7 laptops, and a Windows Server 2008 R2 desktop. Also tried with a different cable. This cable was able to transfer data from an external hard drive today, so I doubt anything is wrong with it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Well I had the same problem with a new sgs2 i got witb the warranty. I even made a post about it. Tried everything and nothing fixed it. Had to do another warranty exchange

Did you try the drivers separate first or Mtp mode
Sent from my revolutionized Samsung infuse
I tried without the drivers, and went to wireless and network > USB utilities. The only option in there, however, is "Connect storage to PC". If I try that, then plug it in, the phone acts like I hit the back/undo button. It doesn't show that anything is connected, nor does it give any other options. At this point on the computer, I get the "USB device not recognized" error.
This happened before installing Kies/Drivers, and still happens after installing drivers and kies.
try another usb cable
i had the exact same error, and it ended up being a good USB cable that went south
I will try a different cable when I get home - Have a month old cable for a mytouch 4g that I know works.
Okay, I tried it with the other cable, on a desktop in the rear port. same thing...Phone start to charge, and I get the error that the device malfunctioned, yada yada.
Any other ideas? Should I try to connect in Download mode?
Alrighty, so in the end, I ended up completely unroting, using terminal emulator to remove superuser.apk, busybox, and su and putting right back to read only. Then in CWM, flashed a stock 2.3.5 ROM (Zedomax). However, I now have the 2.3.5 ROM and the 2.3.6 KL1 Kernel...
I'm planning to return to Tmobile/Samsung - will the kernel and rom versions not matching be a huge red flag??
Any help is appreciated. I have tried to flash the 2.3.5 kernel, but I always get an error that it's not signed/verified.
Ideas?
I was hoping to grab the 2.3.6 OTA update, but it says there is no firmware update. Is there an update file I can put on the SD card and update using the stock recovery?
UPDATE:
I called T-Mobile Customer Service today, and went through the "troubleshooting" with them again. They ended up sending me a new one, overnight. They didn't ask anything about doing anything custom with it like rooting or other modifications.
I'm not sure if it made a difference, but I'm within 90 days, and also have the "best" insurance/warranty coverage through T-Mobile, and whoever their insurance provider is that I signed up for when I bought the phone.
Final charge is for $5, which I was told is some kind of fee from Samsung, but will appear on my bill.
Anyway, not too bad. Can't wait to get rid of touchwiz again when I get the new phone!

FYI, I just went through the same thing. Decided to finally root my phone after owning it for 2 weeks.
Phone nor the phone would recognize USB data, but would charge. Tried another cable and no luck.
Rebooted the phone. Works like a charm now.

[Q] USB Connection problem

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

Bricked? Wave I (8500)

Seems like my sister got her Wave bricked. Actually, she didnt do anything with it. Its just that the handset is stuck in a boot-loop. So my plan was to reflash FW. I can enter download mode. But when i connect it to a computer, it only gives the error message that the usb device has malfunctioned. I already tried my desktop and my laptop. Anything else I might want to try? Kinda lost here

Try to install Kies for the drivers.
Download any firmware you want and flash it.
Best Regards
Well, i have Kies already installed together with newest USB drivers. Still, it says that the USB device is not recognized because it has malfunctioned or so ...

Can't get the phone to recognize data connection through USB port

Sadly i had to come to the painful conclusion that my problem relies at this point on the data detection of the phone itself.
I have read tons of tutorials pointing to adb or fastboot upgrades and different stuff and methods to update. I'm stuck in 2.20.40.139 and cannot find an update within the OS. I will enumerate now the things i see in order to clarify this situation.
_USB debugging on or off makes no difference.
_MTP or the other mode returns nothing. No detection on device manger in windows.
_Phone always charges when plugged to USB ports.
_Tried 4 cables and 3 pc's all of them tested with other phones and tablets.
_On fastboot mode nothing happens and device is nowhere to be found.
_ADB is the same. adb devices shows nothing for this.
_Recovery returns an error as if it tries to update something that isn't there MOFD_SUPDATE.zip
_after that error i get into recovery pressing power+vol up for a few seconds.
_did a factory reset on the phone and wipes in recovery.
_copied file in root of the phone. Detected the update. failed when trying to apply.
_bootloader in fastboot shows unknown. serial is 0123456789ABCDEF or something like that (serial was ok before i used the bootloader unlocker from ASUS website)
i can't think anything else for this right now... it's really driving me crazy since android works without an issue. Phone is not rooted or even has been tried to root.
If someone knows or can think anything regarding this please help me out. There's nothing i like more to share thoughts and ideas to have this updated.
Thanks in advance,
