So I've looked high and low and i cannot find a fix to my problem. My infuse is not recognized by computers. Its not a driver issues tried it on like 4 PC's/Mac's with the correct drivers installed. When i put it into mass storage mode nothing happens. Phone charges with no issue. I can't flash it back to stock due to it not being recognized.

Try different USB cables in different ports.

After I installed Froyo on my Captivate, USB is not working. When I connect it to my Win7/64 and Vista/32, I get the "USB device not recognized" on the computers, regardless if I am in USB debugging or not. I reinstalled the Kies s/w in the hopes that the drivers would then recognize the Captivate, but that doesn't work. So obviously USB tethering and Mass Storage are not working. Has anyone else had this problem and how can it be fixed? Thx in advance!
Have you tried mounting the phone in debugging mode? This has always worked for making the drives accessible.

Yep, I stated above that I tried with debugging on and off, and it didn't matter. Usually the phone would mount differently with it on or off, but now it's just not recognized. Very strange...
have you tried using a different usb port? i was having the same problem and got it to work when using a different usb slot
I'm having the same problem. It also often decides not to recognize when I've plugged it in to charge. Used 2 different usb cables, 3 different usb ports on my tower, usb ports on 2 different laptops, and plugged in using the stock usb cable/charger combo. I'd like to flash a new rom, but obviously that's not an option for me right now. It double sucks, cuz I just did a factory reset. I also tried the above suggestions to no avail
EDIT: When I unplug the phone while charging (once I finally get it to recognize that it's hooked up and should be charging), it still shows the battery icon as being charged
same problem. sort of getting mad. i have tried lots of stuff. un install re install drivers a couple times now. both pre select and post select usb modes on the phone well any way lots of stuff. all the usb plugs, tryed putting the plug in the pooter first then the phone on all ports. phone with sim in/out all ports and memory card in/out all ports i reall want to try darky's rom. as sweet as xxxbunker.com is with flash on the phone, i would trade it back for 2.1 so i can use my headphone jack for speaker phone again. please some one help
#edit: my wifes phone still works fine on mounting with the vista pooter. she still has 2.1#
I have been searching for about a week now and still can't figure this problem out. I bought this phone used about a month ago and I haven't tried to connect it to my pc until just recently. I am wanting to root and unlock my phone but I can't connect to pc using usb cord although it will charge it.
I am on GB 2.3.6 vuvkj6, stock.
I have tried 4 different usb cords, 4 different pc/laptops and all usb ports. I have also installed and uninstalled several usb drivers with no luck.
My phone can only get into download mode using a jig. Even in download mode, I can't connect to pc. I have tried using Heimdall, Odin, and kies but it just does not connect.
If I can use a jig to get it into dl mode, does that mean the phones usb port is fine?
I just want to be able to connect with pc. Is it possible to flash using my sdcard? I am thinking maybe the phone is missing something to pick up the usb signal or something.
I am lost, any help would be appreciated.
Maybe, I think it's a phone issue.
Do you still have a warranty?
I bought this phone used, so no warranty. If the jig works, does that mean the usb port is ok?
Does the phone charge when plugged in? Have you tried to go ahead and flash even though it says not recognized?
ligitalipeople
Yes the phone does charge when plugged in. I can't flash using Heimdall or Odin. Any other way of flashing?
I have also put the phone into debug mode with no luck.
Have you done a factory reset?
Yes, I have done a factory reset.
FINALLY! I got it to work.
Can you post back here and tell us what you did to get it working in case someone else has the issue?
Thanks and glad you got it going!
I am not sure what made it work for me. But what I did was "clear memory" on ram. I don't remember how I got onto that screen but I clicked on ram and clear memory.
I then pushed the usb into the pc a few times really fast until pc showed somethnig other than "usb device not recognized". Pc then started to show device connected.
if you are using windows i have found that sometimes the usb ports u used for the phone get stuck to the driver that was there in the first place. So what I do to fix this is go into device manager from the control panel and then uninstall the drivers for the specific port that I am trying to use. While keeping my phone unplugged from the computer I then reinstall the samsung drivers, restart my computer and then try to plug my phone in. 90% of the time that has been what works for me.
Ok, I figured out the problem. It has nothing to do with the drivers or clearing ram memory. My problem is the actual micro usb connection. If is a little loose from side to side and when I push it to one side, it connects no problem.
That is the exact same thing that happened to my wife's phone... luckily it was still under warranty...

My phone is out of warranty. At least now I know the problem. It was extremely frustrating trying to figure it out.
I've searched the forum, read a couple threads I found, but didn't help. I have a samsung infuse, it will not connect for mass storage, heimdall doesn't see the phone either. The phone shows it's charging when it's connected to my computer, although there have been a few times it didn't show charging, but did actually charge.
I have tried different USB ports, different USB cables, 2 different pc's, and a MAC. I've deleted all samsung software and drivers, reinstalled everything, deleted everything again, installed just the drivers. All with the same results.
I can't get the phone to go into download mode either.
I'm currently running Scott's CM10 8/16 with inverted gapps
Any ideas?
I have a similar problem except rom. Wont connect to kies, mass storage, or anything phone charges and is recognized. Tried multiple ports cords always the same thing and a window pops up on windows saying error connecting.
This is since i got my replacement.
Phone came with 2.3.6 gingerbread.
Not rooted hence cant connect to computer.

Try gently moving the usb cable end where it plugs into the phone.
I did all that
Sounds like a bad usb port. Look to see if there's any dirt in either of the connectors.
So I flashed my infuse from Froyo to GB to ICS and then to JB...but ironically the same day that i flashed to JB, my download mode stopped working.
Ever since I flashed to JB (CM10 and slimbean so far) My computer says "USB device is not recognized or has malfunctioned" and I cannot put the phone into download mode via 2 buttons and usb cable. When I plug the phone in it just turns on and starts charging and the computer wants nothing to do with it.
I know the USB port works because it charges without a problem. I have also tried 2 other windows 7 PCs, and my macbook. Can't get it into DL mode or to mass storage.
Any ideas?

Just cause it charges doesn't mean it works...that just means the power part works...power and data transfer are two desperate things...I've had cords in the past that after a while stopped working as data cables and became strictly charge only cables...
So, have you tried a different data cord? Its likely the data transfer cables got damaged due to normal wear and tear (these cords arent made to last...)

Yeah my friend just used it with his note so i know the cord works :\

Try a different cable, just do it. Denial is not good. I had same problem then got a different , different cable and it worked. As i tried three cables. I do believe one did work to get mass storage but it didn't work to flash my xperia x10, that's what bugged me.don't really remember as i have bricked these phones so may times experimentation ya know, it is hard for me to remember .
as i was flashing my infuse at the same time i used the data cable that does work with the infuse and my other cable wasn't working it wouldn't recognize and ahhh went through my head so after infuse got done i switched cables and vola it worked.
If not then reinstall drivers reboot pc and get a data cable that is really a data cable .

Or my computer won't recognize my phone... not sure which.
Anyway, when I plug the phone into my computer it still charges, but I don't get the option to use it as a mass storage device, so I can't transfer files between phone and computer.
I got a new usb cord about two months ago and it worked up until now, so I don't think it's the cord.
I've tried taking out the SIM card and battery, restarting phone/computer, installing KIES, toggling USB debugging... not sure what else to try.
Anyone else ever have this problem?
Go into device manager on the pc with the phone plug in. There will be a usb port with an exclamation mark on it. Manually update the driver to android adb interface.

Ok I just tried that... I don't see any exclamation marks anywhere.
I tried reinstalling the drivers from Samsung's website and that didn't work either.

Your pc isn't recognizing that your device is connected at all. It's not a driver issue. It's either the usb cord or the usb port on your phone that's not working
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Hmm alright... I'll buy another cord and see if that works... thanks.
@jd1639 nailed it, imo. You've either got a bad cord or a bad port. I'd try a different USB port first, and if that doesn't solve it, you know you've got a bad cord.
This seems to be a funny issue cause now all of a sudden it's working... not sure what happened. It could have been installing the driver and then restarting my computer, or playing around with USB debugging again.
I've read other places of guys trying different cords, etc and nothing working, and then they just take their battery out and back in and then it's working again. So ya no idea.
