USB Problem! Help!

I have a Samsung Fascinate and my phone won't connect to my computer! A few days ago, I was on rooted stock and I noticed it wouldn't connect to my PC. I did a data wipe and installed MIUI and noticed the problem was still going on. I thought it was no big deal but now it is VERY annoying! I've tried it on my Windows 7 computers and one XP computer and none of them work! They all say that it can't be recognized. I have accidental insurance on it and the person at BestBuy mobile said I can root it without voiding it. I don't know if installing a ROM (MIUI) voids it or not. I'm trying to do an Odin restore and when I put it in download mode, Windows still says that it can't recognize it. I want it on stock before calling them about it. I'm thinking this is a hardware issue. Anyway to get it off of MIUI and back to stock without a PC?! :'(
have you tried going to settings/development and un checking USB Debugging? worked for me after update.
Yes, make sure USB Debugging is not selected, as this will prevent your device from entering storage mode and be picked up by your Computer.
Also, make sure that you're using the original USB data cable that came with your phone. Other cables might allow charging, but won't work for data.
or...
if still doesnt work, try a factory reset (sorry)
I am using the original cable. And USB Debugging is unchecked. It also won't detect my phone in download mode...? Could it maybe be the USB?

Did you download the ADB usb drivers? Also, be very careful downloading the Samsung Drivers and updating Win 7. They broke two of my computers.

[Q] How to unroot my samsung infuse? phone to pc connect failed!

I rooted my samsung infuse with superoneclick and now I want to unroot but the problem is my computer won't recognize my device. I've installed the driver from samsung, hard reset, and even tried connecting to other pcs but no luck. What am I missing??? Help please!
did you try a different usb cable?
yea, i tried that but still nothing
1. Try connecting to a different port
2. Try connecting to a different system
3. Ensure the cable being used is a data cable, and not a power cable
root does not break your phone, i rooted alot if times and nothing happen

Thanks, but I've tried everything suggested so far, and all it does is charge. I tried it on xp, vista, and w7. I also tried 4 different data cables from the at&t store.

Which route did you go about installing drivers? You can do a direct install or full on kies. Kies works for me.. well the stupid program doesn't but the drivers do.. Stupid Samsung.. lol. And run all programs in administrator mode.. produces better results for smart users.

[Q] nexus s 4g rooting help/problem

I have read post on how to root and I can root. But my problem is my nexus will not connect to my computer. I get a unknown device error. Pdanet didn't work and I've tried 2 computers and multiple USB cords. Debug was enabled. I've reset my phone and formatted it and the sdcard. So is there any way of me rooting my device with a apk or without use of a computer? Thanks for your time.
here is a good guide to root http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/
here is easy way to set up sdk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474895
thats the problem. my computers will not recognize my nexus at all. ive tried 3 computers and 3 usb cables. no avail. so im curious to know how i can root my 2.3.7 nexus with a apk such as z4root. i cant get my computer to recognize my phone at all. and my phone doesnt even have the popup to connect via usb.
I hear ur concern but even if there was a apk to root, then ud still be in the same position.... which is no way to connect to any computer.
I had the same issue when I bought my 4G in November. I'll get home soon and give the link I used to get the Samsung drivers so ur computer will recognize ur phone.
For now try this:

Vs Nexus S 4G
I've tried the sdk and pdanet. Didn't work. My phone doesn't even realize its connected to the computer. The Android that pops up usually,doesn't appear in my phone. It just charges. So if there is any app/apk to root my phone please let me know
okay, I found what i used:

good luck
I just attempted this. My phone doesn't even have the status bar notification saying it's connected via USB. And the computer said "device not recognized" I've read that it is a software problem. Is it a phone hardware/software, computer, or the drivers for my computer?
After u did it, did u try the root program?
Or when did it say not recognized....
I remember not being able to hook up via USB but after I did the above I went straight to root program and it worked so I'm not sure what to tell u
But if ur stock, call ur provider or store and just say u want to hook up to computer for music and pics. They can't deny u that.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
No I didn't try the rooting program. I ran the Samsung drivers and then plugged my phone up and my computer still said USB not recognized. And I am all stock. No root, locked bootloader and everything. I called sprint the other day and they couldn't help me cause I'm not on a contract with them. I just got the sprint ns4g. But ill give them a call again.
Thanks
If u have drivers installed, uninstall them. Reboot ur pc and then reinstall ur drivers manually, then give it a shot

Computer won't recognize friends ns4g but does mine?

I wanted to root my friends ns4g but my of won't recognize it. He had a galaxy s 2 as well and it was the same issue.
I installed pdanet, Samsung drivers, different USB cords, nothing!
When I plug it in nothing happens, then about 5 mins later, USB not recognized. I manually tried to put the .inf file through the windows 7 wizard and still nothing.
Like I said my ns4g works perfectly fine, when I plug his in nothing works at all. I don't understand this at all. I have a 64bit system and made sure everything was for that. Can anyone help me out?

Can you mount usb in either recovery (if applicable) and android? Have you tried with usb debugging enabled? Also, does it show you no android device is connected in device manager?

in device manager it only shows unknown usb device with "!" symbol. Yes for debugging, and cant boot into recovery, there is no recovery as its not rooted.
help someone please! lol
There was something i read about the fast charge widget messing up the ability of the nexus to properly connect to the computer and a fix. Part of its design is to block USB file transfer when connected to a computer. There were several phones that couldn't connect after loading the widget.
Before i go and waste a bunch of time researching and digging for this. I would like to know if your friend has installed the fastcharge widget on his phone.

lol, no his phone isnt rooted to get the fast charge patch even.
Its soo strange. I plug my phone all good, I plug his NS4G, no detection. It's strange.
Same thing happened when i was trying to root his tmobile gs2. No driver worked.
did you install tbe drivers by booting into bootloader while pluged in?
Sent from my LS670 using XDA
yeah, didnt work. Factory Reset the phone too.
Try a different USB port on PC and pull the battery for a min.

Try drivers from Samsung support page. It took me a bit. But usually the pdanet drivers work. You could try another pc that does not have the drivers for the nexus.
