This issue popped up for me about a week ago. Am running EP1W with Gummy 2.0, but also had it with Infinity ROM Beta.
My PC isn't recognizing the phone when plugged in via USB. The phone does go into download mode, but I get an error in Windows (version is XP) saying the USB device has malfunctioned. This happens on all ports and I've flashed with this computer before. I tried re-installing Odin 1.82 and the Samsung drivers but had no luck. I suspect this is a hardware issue as the phone doesn't recognize the charger when plugged into the outlet. It does charge, however (see attachment).
Has anyone had this issue? Is this fixable or am I basically screwed when it comes to using Odin to flash?
Try rebooting your computer and restoring it to a different time when it did work.

I've only heard of completely dead Charge USB ports where it won't charge or plug into anything so it doesn't sound like you're hopeless... I'd try using a different cable and different ports on your pc, though it sounds like its phone related if it does connect and charge/go into download mode but doesn't register that its plugged in
I tried my buddy's charger for his Galaxy S to no success (wall charging, phone didn't recognize being plugged in). Unless the Charge has a specific micro USB, I might be screwed here.
mine's doing the same also. it started off as excessive battery drain - went from -10 to -40 to now draining at -100 to -250 on standby.
earlier this week i started getting the same problems you have. after a few tries of reconnecting i was able to get it back to stock to see if the problem persists and it does. so hopefully i'll be able to make it to verizon this weekend to see if they can fix it. so far it seems it's a hardware malfunction as it works intermittently.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
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#
As of tonight my HTC Sensation will no longer connect to my laptop. It's like the phone doesn't realise it's connected to a PC
The phone is s-off and rooted, running leedroid 4.2.1, and the laptop runs windows 7 64 Bit.
When I plug the phone into the laptop, it just sits there and charges as if plugged into the mains. There is no notification about charging only, mass storage or whatever.
I have run the adb devices command and the phone is not found by it. My computer doesn't even realise a device has been plugged in.
I have rebooted the phone several times, re-installed the rom, turned off USB debugging, I've reboot into bootloader and it just says "FASTBOOT" rather than FASTBOOT USB, and tried another cable with nothing working.
Any pointers?
Try different usb port and cable to see if its a faulty cable?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
Aye, have done that.7
Edit: I rebooted my laptop with the phone stilled plugged in, as soon as it started, the phone gave me the notification and stayed in the charge only setting.. Why is it doing this?
Have you flashed your rom just recently? Did USB work normally before flashing? Has it worked with this rom at all? If not try wiping and reflashing.
You might also try uninstalling the win7 drivers and reinstalling again. There is a possibility that they've become corrupted.
Hi thanks for your reply. As I said in my first post I have done all of these things already.
It seems to be working fine now.
I rebooted my laptop with the phone plugged in during boot. The phone gave me the notification and stayed on USB charge until I logged in, once I logged it I changed to USB Mass Storage and everything loaded fine. It's all in order now.
Thanks anyway.
never mind..
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.
This has been happening ever since I flashed my phone a second time. First time was from stock to MIUI (USB worked with MIUI), but when I flashed it to I think GB it just stopped working. Whenever I plug it into my computer, all it does is charge my phone... I tried multiple USB ports, none of them work, all of them just charge my phone... Help?
EDIT:
I just restored my phone, I'm on Firmware 2.3.6; Build#: GINGERBREAD.UCKJ4
Try changing cable?

same thing pretty much, but with a stock rom.
about a week ago my phone would not charge from an outlet very well, it was like i didnt even have it plugged in, it's gotten worse since then...
when i was able to get it to charge from a wall outlet it would go into usb mode, and that was if i was lucky.
now it wont even charge from a wall outlet and i have to charge it from my computer.
i would try to update my phone to the new 2.3 version but my computer wont recognize my phone, i keep getting an error message saying "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it."
i've tried to put it in kies mode and debugging mode and the rest of the modes allowed but still nothing.
i did a factory reset and it still does the same thing(and i lost EVERTHING on my phone but my contacts)
any ideas??

I have the exact same problem. I have tried installing Kiesmini, the samsung usb drivers directly and tried on mac and pc with different cables.
The cables function normally with blackberry's and samsung galaxy ace but the infuse refuses is not recognized by the pc. also the phone does not recognize that it is connected which usually shows a prompt for USB.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am on 2.2.1 stock Froyo and I am unable to root because of not having connectivity to usb through the computer for Superoneclick to recognize. Also, i tried z4root several times to no avail.

When I plug my USB cable into my computer and then into my phone the phone does not recognize the computer and vice versa. It will charge, but that is it. A few weeks ago I tried an AOKP rom which has "fast charge" I set this setting to be on to test it out and then turned it off. Ever since then I have not been able to transfer files with the cable plugged in, so I used AirDroid to wirelessly do it. I remember something in the warning about it, but I thought when you format/wipe and flash a new rom it corrects the issue. I have flashed a completely new rom since then and still nothing. Any help would be nice, thanks.
Try going back to stock through Odin or heimdal

How are you supposed to Odin/heimdall, if it doesn't connect even during download mode?

Lol didn't think of that...when I had my infuse I had the same problem with the stock USB cable...after a while data transfer stopped and it became a charge only cable...I would use my dads cable that worked perfect for data transfer...
So try a different USB cord or try a different USB port...

You can try this too
Hi, I faced this issue few times and tried several options like change cable/port/computer and worked.
One thing Recently i noticed when all of the above failed in my case is :- 1 Development->Uncheck the USB debug mode, 2. Check Mass Storage in USB connection setting. ( you need to unplug usb cable while doing it)
Now try connecting and give few minutes. If you can see the USB mass storage notification you are good to go. Go back and change the Debug mode as Checked.
It worked for me couple of times hope it may work for you too.

Sounds like the dreaded USB port failure. Many Infuse users have gone through this as its a known issue. I returned mine and got a replacement via warranty.

Hey There,
We had the same issue with many units and solved all by doing the following:
-Flashing the unit back to stock
-Performing a factory data reset after flashing(This is a must)
Note: Even though your device will not connect to the computer in PDA mode you should still be able to connect in download mode so it can be flashed with ODIN.(Unless if it's hardware related)
