Hey. My captivate has been working beautifully with these new GB roms until about a week ago when my computer won't even recognize my phone. and all the phone shows that it charging but no notification about USB connection? ive tried different ports and reinstalling drivers all that good stuff and restarting my computer and turning on and off usb debugging and the cable still works with other devices so can anyone help?
Also can you tell me if samsung will replace my phone with a custom ROM on it? im thinking of doing this because i cant flash back to stock without the USB working!
Are you sure the cable is 100% functional? What other devices?
Try plugging it in to another computer as well

I have had that problem on a few gb roms too. Go into USB settings and change them to kies and then plug your phone into the computer using your USB cable. Just leave it plugged in for a few seconds, you don't have to wait for your phone to be detected. After unplugging the cable, restart your computer and phone. Once both are running again, go back into USB setting and change them back to USB storage and then plug your phone back into your computer, making sure you use a USB port directly connected to your motherboard. Works for me everytime.
Edit: If you suspect that your USB cable is not working, see if Odin will detect your phone in download mode. Don't flash anything, just see if it says connected in Odin.

it didnt work if i just go to samsung and give them the phone with the custom rom on it what would they do?
Download kies and see if your computer will detect your phone in kies mode. You could always get an SD card and put all the files on the card then move them to your internal SD. If you have a custom rom installed you can flash stock using cwm. Did you try connecting your phone in download mode to your computer running Odin??? If it doesn't detect it then your USB port is not working or your USB cable is broken. If it is working flash stock and start again. It could be a bad flash.
i have had the same problem a couple days ago, plugged in another captivate into my computer it recognized it. then plugged in my phone and everything was working fine again.
try plugging in anothe android phone running froyo or whatever version you have
Can you get your phone into download mode?

Sounds like it could be, try plugging it into the back of the computer and see if that helps.

The USB drivers for download mode are in the bootloaders and has nothing to do with the USB drivers for the rom. Even if you had a bad flash and the USB portion of the rom was corrupt, your computer would still be able to detect your phone in download mode. See if you can plug your phone into a different computer either at a friends house or at work to see if they can detect your phone with your cable. If not, you will need a new cable.

So what if that didn't work and nothing was wrong with the cable? Would it be my USB port on the phone because the cable wiggles when I put it in.

Hi all,
My Droid charge decided to do something weird today; it no longer will USB mount! This problem is particularly bad because, while I can put the phone in download mode, my computer will not recognize the USB and ODIN (1.2 & 1.8) cannot wipe the phone.
Any suggestions? I really need my phone back, but I'm not sure what to do.
Tried reinstalling the USB Samsung Drivers, using the original data cable, and two different computers (Win7). SD card will mount in an external drive (aka without the phone), and the phone will charge via USB. I have the most recent form of CWM on it, and the EP4P debloated and rooted rom.
Thanks,
frak

That happened to me a while back. Mine had the added bonus of going into desk dock mode and staying there. It was a hardware issue with the USB port. It would charge, but nothing else. Mine did become intermittent though, and cycling the cable in and out seemed to help it some, but ultimately, I had to send it in for replacement

What cable are you using? I accidentally grabbed my charging-only cable the other day and didn't realized it only had the wires for positive and negative. No data pins.
Is it the cable that came with your Droid?
Another thread similar. Check it out and try some.

Had that yesterday. A different port worked fine for me. Maybe a couple of power cycles will do the trick.

Can you point me to the drivers you installed? Thanks in advance.
I am having same problem and going nuts. I have Galaxy S2. I CAN connect to windows and Kies when phone is booted up but can not connect while in download mode. On Andoid System Recovery <3e>, I tried to do factory reset and wipe cache but no vain. Still getting usb not recognized.
so, my phone is bricked, I bought a jig since I couldn't access download mode. The jig works perfectly, but no matter what cord, USB port or computer or operating system I still can't get the phone recognized. I always get "USB device not recognized, it may have malfunctioned...etc." I thought it was the drivers and etc, but my friends Galaxy S works in download mode and gets recognized...I thought it might be the USB port, but the jig works everytime and the charger turns the phone on when plugged in.
So I'm out of options, the unbrickable mod is just not in my skill set, what else can I possibly do?
I know you said it was coming up as USB device not recognized...buy did you run Odin and see if it was there?
Yes, neither hemidall or odin detect it.

I can't tell if you tried this, but when I was flashing with the Captivate and Odin, I always re-installed the drivers. Everytime. I also had better luck running Odin as Administrator. Again, couldn't tell from OP if you did all that, so hope I'm not preaching to the choir

here it is..
I thinknu shuld download kies mini first and install it..it will install all the needed drivers.
then try to go in download mode u can go in it by
1.take out the battery
2.hold the 2 volume keys (not the power key).
3.put battery inside..
4.then while holding the 2 vol keys plug the usb cable in the phone and to the pc..
it will go in download mode then see tht in odin..
i think this would help u please thanx if it wrks..

Have you tried just putting cable in PC then in reg mode hook to phone...let it find and recognize. Then unhook from phone. then put in d/l mode then hook to computer....then open odin.....
EDIT: the cable that comes with the phone is really not such a good cable...i went out and bought a nice thick one..just casue the sammy one works for charging and USB mass storage doesn't mean it will for ODIN...I ran into that with my Captivate and Infuse...I went out and got a nice thick 25$ cable...no issues...also try a diff port...>?
I swear the op never gets read. the phone is bricked, I can't get past the Samsung screen, I have stock 3e recovery, and the only way to get to download mode is the jig. I have tried kies mini and the exe for drivers but none of the multiple computers ive tried recognize the phone, I have tried several different cords as well, I think my only option is Jtag.

No that's not your only option..... If the phone turns on at all ths sts great, diagnosing kies fire the drivers is crucial first off, then use the jig to get into dl then hook up to computer and open heimdall one click back to stock by Ulster, if heimdall still doesn't recognize it, unplug micro USB from phone and plug back in, again the RIGHT drivers for windows or Mac are CRUCIAL! Just went through a huge ordeal with my infuse thinking it was gonna be dead, if you can get to Samsung letters its not bricked, bricked is if it does nothing....read my last post.

Try a new cable. If still nothing I'd say your charge port is bad.

Switch cables always helps. Try the USB ports onn the back of your computer also.
I tried to root my 4g sidekick with superoneclick, it said something I clicked root and it said http://imgur.com/qJHQY I clicked okay, all it did was freeze up and then now when i plug my phone into my computer it doesn't even recognize that its being plugged in. I can't transfer files or anything. I've tried factory restore but that does nothing either. Yes I have the drivers installed, My pc doesn't recognize anythings being plugged into it and neither does the phone. I've tested all my usb ports with other devices and they work just fine.

There was nothing that said Samsung Android but i uninstalled anything that said Android but still nothing, as I said my computers not even realizing i have anything plugged into it. But it recognizes other devices just fine
The phone is still booting? What USB mode do you have it in? It's under Applications in settings, and I believe you need it set to Kies to root it.
I've tried all the USB modes. The computer and phone itself isn't recognizing that it has a usb plugged into it. But yet it will take a charge. This all happened after trying to root the phone. I've never had an issue before.

Yes I had it in USB Debug mode. And Yes 50 bucks lol why interested?
If you don't hear the USB connection sound, there is nothing you can do on the PC side that will fix it. The phone is not acting like a USB device at all. Try plugging it in to the PC while the phone is in recovery mode or download mode.
Why yes i am lol

Try deleting the Samsung drivers on your computer and let Windows find them for you or switch usb ports or check out your Device manager and see if there are any problems in there... Assuming that you are running windows? Hope this helps...:good:
Options
1.try another computer
2. Dont use a usb hub
3.try a different usb port... stay a way from usb 3.0
4. It might be a bad usb cable
5. Uninstall the driver then reinstall them(install if youb dont have it)

Thanks for the advice guys. I tried a different cable, USB and deleting the drivers. It doesn't detect my phone at all after this.
I'm pretty sure it is an issue with my phone. I plugged my wife's s3 in and instant detection. I'm gonna call vzw and have a replacement sent.
Thanks again for the help.

Be sure debugging is off, or the drivers will not automatically download. Switch back on when you start using Odin
