Hey all!
I am having a real problem connecting my S2 to the PC. I have tired it on many different PC's and macs and they all have the same problem.
Here's the problem,
When i connect my S2 via usb mass storage it simple just charges and won't been seen by the PC. I downloaded Kies and this also has the same problem, although i can use the wifi option i cannot update the phone this way!
I have tried it in debug mode and this did not work, and the people at samsung over the phone cant seem to work out the problem either.
I bought the phone over Ebay a couple of days ago so it is second hand, and on version 2.0.3.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it!
go to your phone, type *#7284#
switch UART and USB both to PDA mode
click the qualcomm USB settings button below
select MTP + ADB if you want Media mode and ADB, or PTP + ADB if you want Photo mode + ADB
click OK
take out your USB from your phone and plug it back in
then it should work
When I plug my handset to ANY computer (with, without kies or drivers, it doesn't matter) the phone charges, but, nothing appears on the computer (no unknown device or recognizing the two drives of the phone, but not mounting them (as it did before)) on the phone.
The "USB" icon doesn't prompt and if I go to settings/wireless and network/ USB utilities, when I touch the USB mass storage button, it prompts me to connect cable, which is already connected.
-USB debug isn't activated (I've tried both)
When my phone is powered off and I start to charge it, the charging screen doesn't prompts, It just start booting.
I've tried different USB Cables.
The Phone is Official Stock Never Rooted (I discovered this trying to root it today)
Am I SOL if I want to root it without a working USB Data port?
Any ideas?
i would say make sure there's no dust/ buildup in the port. I had connection issues once to find a pocket lint cramed in there. next do all the other stuff. uninstall/reinstall drivers, diff usb port, diff pc, reboot. My symptoms were similar to yours but i was able to reboot into recovery/bootloader and use adb/fastboot no prob, so not sure. and I was already rooted/twrp recovery. might be worth it to try fastboot in bootloader just to be sure and get a recovery on it asap. If that works you should be able to recover stock or flash whatever, then test usb again in diff pc with fresh kies install. good luck.
Sounds like bad/improper USB cables to me, not all USB cables support data and charging, make sure you're using an official Samsung USB cable.
If you have a friend with a Samsung smart phone ask to try their cable.
Hi everyone, I bought an LG G3 Korean version (F400S) unlocked recently. It is a good phone but I am experiencing three annoying issues (out of the box) with the phone and they are:
1. NO sound at all from the back loudspeaker. The volume is set to maximum, there is no sound from music, video, notifications, touch sound effects, or even ringtone! Surprisingly, when I connect my earphones, there is sound in my earphone, when I remove the earphone, absolutely NO SOUND from the loudspeaker. The sound from ear speaker (the one used to make call) works. I have tested the ringtone in the Hidden Menu, when the ringtone is being played, there is no sound at all.
2. The LG G3 charges well when connected with the charger and when connected with my laptop as well. However, whenever I connect the LG G3 to my laptop, it only charges, it is NOT RECOGNIZED by my laptop. I have the LG Mobile driver installed (downloaded from the LG website (Korea website)), the LG PC Suite installed, the LG Mobile Phone Support Tool installed. Whatever I do, changes the USB cable/ USB port, try in different windows version (Windows 7, 8.1 and 10), USB debugging on and off, reinstall driver, reinstall driver from the option in LG PC Suite, restart the PC several times, NOTHING happens. It is not recognized at all in my laptop. ALSO I cannot see any thing related to LG driver in the Device Manager.
3. USB OTG does not work. I have tried with a working OTG cable to connect a pendrive in my LG G3, it is not recognized, even in the File Explorer of the phone. The cable and pendrive is however detected in my other android device.
The Android version of my LG G3 is Android 4.4.2 (I have received only one update for improving Google experience (about 10 MB).
The Kernel version is 3.4.0
The build number is KVT49L.F400S11a
Software version is F400S11a
Please help me, I have googled for the problems, searched in Youtube as well but no solutions. The phone was bought online, it is original but I have no warranty and even if i need to repair, I will have to send it back to China, which will be money and time consuming. Please help me.

Thanks for the reply, I tried your suggestion, but it did not work. Again, when I tried to connect the LG G3 to the PC so as to flash with the KDZ, it says on the taskbar: 'The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it'. In the Device Manager, I get USB Device Not Recognized (Error Code 43), Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) Error Code 43. I googled this issue as well no success, I reinstalled the LG Drivers, rebooted my PC, again NO LG DRIVERS in the Device Manager, and whenever I connect the LG G3 I get the same message I mentioned above. Hence, I cannot upgrade to the v20F version as I cannot connect the device to my PC.
UPDATE: I cannot put the device in download mode for flashing. I hold the volume up button while connecting the cable to the USB 2.0 port. The LG logo appears on the phone and it just charges. Also, I have tried to remove everything related to the drivers and reinstall, now I do not have the Error Code 43, BUT still the phone is not recognized.

Pull the battery
Only press the volume up button while connecting the cable to the USB port.
Let me know if that works. It sounds like your pressing the power button first, pressing volume up and then plugging the usb cable in
If it doesnt theres also the adb method as well that i can tell you after

I tried it but I only get a picture of a battery with a USB cable connected and a yellow triangle with an question mark. No download mode, and it is not detected by my PC. Please give me further suggestions. I am continuously searching how to solve these issues.

First update your drivers on your computer. If that won't work try different ports. USB 2.0 or 3.0 can make a huge difference. Your speaker is probably dead. And i don't have any experience with USB OTG so I can't help you with that

Already tried that with the '15-sec ADB' something like that + with Android studio, I have searched on youtube and google how to do it, but nothing happen when I enter the command, it just says that device not found. Whenever I connect a pendrive or my other phones to my PC, I can see in device manager, it refreshes and the driver for that particular device appears. BUT there is NO refresh nor any driver appearing when connecting the LG G3. Today I tried it with my friend's USB cable (he has the LG G3 (D855), it does not detect as well in his PC but his phone is detected in his PC. I really do not know what is the matter :crying:

Thank you for your reply, I have already tried all of these, nothing is working.
Did you figure out how to get your phone recognized by the computer? I am facing the very same issue and I'm feeling hopeless

No, i am still having the same issue. I think with an update it will be okay (but I have not received any update till now! I am stuck with Kitkat 4.4.2). If it is a hardware problem I will have to return it or replace the USB port or motherboard.

Oh, OK thanks. I'm still reading forums in search for a definite solution.
Good luck!
my a2 lite does not connet to my pc, I have installed drivers, put it on usb debug, but my pc does not recognize de phone, I have tried different usb ports and cables with no success, it does charge eventually with some cables, but I don't know if this is hardware problem or there is any setting I am missing, it does not give me any choice of chosing the usb kind of conection
it is a new phone just prepped for everyday use, not hacked or modded in any way
USB OTG is working but only reading, I cannot write in external usb drive with es file explorer, or the includer file aplication, it says unsupported operation
any help?
Set hardware id in the adb_usb.ini file perhaps

thank you, but I cannot acces from adb as there is absolutely no conection from my computer, it only starts charging but as if it were just a charger, there is no usb mode options avalaible y my phone, and the pc does not recognize anything conected
I have tried to connect with another computer with the same results, it only gets power, but no data comunication whatsoever
as nobody gives any clue or info about some hidden setting, I must assume this is another case of bad quality control in xiaomi products, I will check with the seller
Did you specifically set file transfer mode via the notification drawer or left it on charge only?

the phone does not detect either that it is connected to a computer, so the notification to select the mode of connection does not even show
I have tried usb otg and I can read fine but I cannot write at all in a pendrive
I have installed also an sd card as internal memory and have storage errors all the time so I have removed it
I have tried also conection in fastboot mode but the computer still does not recognize anything connected
I have uses several cables, usb ports and even 2 different pc with same results
My only guess is that there were some hidden config setting that is messing with the phone, that's the reason I am asking before going to the seller.
Seems like a broken USB pin then

an usb pin should not affect internal sd memory, and usb does not work like water pipes, one pin data in one pin data out, they need both data pins for reading also, so as it can read from pendrive the problem is somewhere else, not in the connector.
This could be a hardware problem. Have you tried to connect it to another computer?
I have already tried on 3 diferent computers with same results. The only diference so far is that it actually does not read either the content of a pendrive connected through OTG, the first day it read it, now it only detects but reads nothing.
Also when sd is configured as internal memory, instead of reading internal memory, that seems to be the normal result, I can read only the sd card with android file explorers
I have the same problem.
No connection data with pc/mac, it only charges.
I'm italian and like many other italians, I've also the problem with Sim slot 2 with no connect..

It is good to know I am not the only one.
F**k, this phone starts to look like a piece of garbage I dont connect to USB, I dont use SD not 2nd sim, so I did not experience these issues, but, f**k again..
Have you tried rebooting? Press the power button for 15secs. to power it off. Use another cable, use another PC, make sure the cable is plugged in properly... bla bla bla. Oh, have you tried placing the phone into a dry rice bowl? Haha (sorry, I had to). I'm sure you've tried it all.
So, I have not much to say. Only that I had a similar problem with a Moto G after I flashed a LineageOS ROM. It worked fine before, but with the new ROM, the USB didn't work at all (it could only read OTG). It was stuck in the "charging" mode. No notification nor option to turn it to file transfer. The PC didn't recognise it at all, either.
Solution? Initially, I turned on USB debuging option and the PC saw the phone (on windows device manager, it was there, but not on MyPc). It was some advance. I can't remember if adb detected it.
Final solution? Luckily my phone was rooted and had a custom recovery, so I could easily flash the same ROM from the TWRP recovery and everything works fine now.
You might try using Xiaomi's flash tool to try to flash the orginal ROM again IF the phone is recognised by the tool (try if it can see the phone) http://en.miui.com/download-354.html
And I suggest contacting Xiaomi for a warranty claim if needed, 'cause it looks like a harware problem (a pin the the microUSB port issue). But be ready to answer the questions posted above several times haha.
Good luck!

I have done all your sugestions previously, even reseting phone with a new gmail account so no config setting from other phone could interfere, I have also tried fastboot, but although phones goes to fast boot mode the pc does not recognize connection either
it is not an usb pin issue, tried 6 cables, 4 computers, 10 or more usb 2 an 3 ports, I am negotianting in aliexpress a refund, we'll see
If I go into recovery mode with power vol+ a broken android appears.

I don't know if you already did this, but try using a PC with Linux (you can use Ubuntu without installing it on the PC, then install the fastboot package).
Hi,
I had no problem with fastboot and adb with Mac!
Phone recognized by the machine and do transfer boot.img for magisk...
Now I Win!
I can see the internal memory with Android File Transfer (Trasferimento File Android in italian!) - this is the link https://www.android.com/filetransfer/.
My version of Build is V.9.6.8.0.
Solution:
- Connect the phone to pc/mac;
- Go to: Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration -> select first "Charge" and then "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol)
- The system recognize the phone!
[for italian, like me, andare su Impostazioni -> Opzioni Sviluppatore -> Seleziona Configurazione USB -> scegliere "Ricarica" e poi "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol) ]

Where are you from? Where did did you purchase the phone (the actual store, is it in China)? Depending on where are you from and what country did you buy the phone from, by law, you'll get manufacturer warranty. So, any "official" distributor in your country will have to provide a warranty solution for you. If Ali Express is unable to provide you with a solution, look into that.
Let us know how it work out for you

Hi all.
I have a wonderful LG G7 (model G710EMW from Brazil carrier Claro).
Recently I've tried to connect it to my new car audio system that supports Android Auto and it didn't work as expected. Long story short, I've discovered that USB does not work on my phone.
Charging works alright, but anything that requires an USB connection simply does not work.
When I connect my phone to my PC, the phone starts charging, never shows the "USB connection" notification icon and the PC does not recognize anything. The phone also does not allow me to choose the kind of USB connection that is to be used (you know, MTP and the other options). When connected to PC through USB cable it displays exactly the same behaviour as if it was connected to a regular charger.
I have tried different cables, being two LG original USB-C to USB-A cables, an USB-C to USB-A from Xiaomi and a generic brand USB-C to USB-A charging and data cable. All of them show the same behaviour.
I did soft reset my phone, thinking maybe some app I downloaded could be interfering, but it also did not change anything. Also hard-reset, but no change either.
I've already tried replacing the circuit board with the USB plug but that also didn't change anything.
The only time USB works is in EDL mode, which shows expected behaviour. PC recognizes the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)" port and with QFIL I can navigate through partitions and stuff seems to work.
I would try installing a different ROM, but as I would need to cross-flash to unlock bootloader (default ROM does not enter fastboot) I am stuck on the USB issue now.
Has anyone seen something like this? Any suggestions to what I could try?

I did try on another two different computers, all on Windows 10, and none of them recognized the phone except when the phone was in EDL mode.
I haven't tried installing drivers for the phone, before when it worked I never had to manually install anything for the PC to recognize my phone.
I'll give that a go, thanks!

Just to let you know, I could not find the USB driver for regular usage of the phone connected to the PC. What I found was drivers to use the phone with ADB and drivers for EDL mode.
I got to test the phone on a Linux Manjaro installation and there the computer also did not recognize any new device with "lsusb" command, whereas using a working LG G7 ThinQ the output of "lsusb" was:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1004:61f9 LG Electronics, Inc. Optimus (Various Models) MTP Mode
Note: the working phone had the USB connectivity option set to "Charge only" (or something like that, my phone is in Portuguese).
