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.

I am trying to flash my Infuse in Odin however...
I have Samsung Mobile Drivers installed. When I have Odin up and ready and plug in the Infuse in download mode, windows says USB device not recognized.
also, when the phone is booted up, it will not charge, and windows will not recognize it either.
When booting into ClockworkMod Recovery it says:
E:Missing bitmap indeterminate2
same thing through indeterminate6
I have tried on different computers, with a few different micro USB cables
What the heck is wrong with this phone?
That happens to me a few days ago too. Windows used to recognize my phone, then without doing any change, windows wouldn't recognize at all, even after reinstalling Kies, trying different usb cable or USB port. What I did to solve the problem is that I turned on Kies first, then plug in the phone, windows would say it could not recognize the USB decide, then in Kies, I clicked on troubleshoot (or something like that), then Kies will reinstall the driver and then u can go back here and thank me. Lol. Hope it helped u

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.
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:

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

I don't know if this is a problem with my USB cable, or my phone, or maybe even my Powermac G5. Lately, the USB transfer hasn't been working on any ICS rom on my Mac. It works fine on the PC, but on the Mac I have to use USB storage in Clockwork Recovery.
Today, for the first time, I tried it even in CWM and the Mac told me it was opening it with limited use, and that I should back it up as soon as I can and reformat/repartition/basically fix it. I've never had that happen before.

Seems to say that changing the USB port might help.
Hello,
I'm having a problem with my Unlocked Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) When i plug the USB to transfer data from my PC, it only detects it as charging, and yes, i know i should change to MTP in the notification center, but i don't get that option, I've enabled it manually in the developers option, also enabled USB Debugging Nothing. Then I've rebooted to TWRP , still nothing. Tried connecting via ADB Doesn't detect it.(I'm sure that cable works , tried it with my Galaxy S5 mini , it works), So i went to Download Mode, Fastboot commands doesn't work , but weirdly it detects in Odin. Good, not great. I've decided to revert back to stock, flsahed the latest firmware. booted still nothing just says Cable Charging as if it is connected to a wall plug.
I don't know what do now .
Any help?

My S6 does a continues connected/disconnected loop on my laptop but on a desktop PC it runs great. Other phones also run great on the laptop so it's possible that you too have an isolated case.
A dumb suggestion, did you try clearing the cache? Try downloading Samsung Smart Switch on your PC and run the built in device driver reinstall function.

I personally think that it's a computer problem rather than a phone problem. If you flashed stock ROM only and didn't touch anything special it MUST work because we would have seen people complaining by now. I'm still holding onto the idea to check the phone with another PC. IDK, maybe you somehow blocked the phone on the laptop? (Download mode and "OS mode" are different things so that would clarify why the laptop detects the phone in ODIN mode)
