I got a refurbished Infuse with my mom's upgrade earlier this month and I immediately rooted it and installed CM7. Now my USB port has failed and no computer will recognize it through any cable including the one that came with it, on any port on any of the computers. It will not go into download mode, putting the battery in makes it boot instantly ruling out the jig. I have NO way of flashing with USB WHATSOEVER and I can't return it with root and CWM and whatnot because I am pants ****tingly terrified that they will charge me retail for it.

What set of Drivers did you install to recognize your Infuse?
On a side note.... Is ****tingly a word?
When the usb port was working the drivers installed automatically. Now that it's not being recognized by any computer, I've tried: Official Samsung Infuse drivers, Samsung Galaxy S drivers and Kies.
It is now, according to me.

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.

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

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..

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.

So I have a Galaxy S 4G that I can not get to be recognized by my computer via USB. It charges fine but always get "USB device not recognized". It's on stock froyo and I have tried several cables and computers as well as versions of drivers so I assume it's a faulty usb port on the phone.
I looked at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
And it seems that it was possible to flash cwm from recovery and then flash a custom kernel that gave root access? But links have been removed and thread closed and replaced by one that requires gingerbread. Does anyone know of any way to root on froyo without usb cable? or have the files that were removed from the thread above?
Any suggestions at all?
Fix your USB port.
try heimdall?
Visit your local library and use a computer there to root. Having fun isn't hard when you got a library card.

Most free-to-the-public computers are so locked down that I doubt he'll be able to get drivers installed.

The ones in smaller towns usually aren't, or their security is easily bypassed with ctrl-alt-delete or similar combinations
thanks for the responses but it seems that I need to clarify that it looks like it's the usb port on the phone that is defective and not the computer. My Galaxy s3 and tab 7.7 connects just fine with odin using same computers and drivers that I can't get to recognize this phone.
And yes I did try heimdall but since the computer does not see the phone heimdall won't either
Nothing else I can do to get root? I would not mind about being stuck on froyo I just need root to install vodoo sound.
^ How do you charge your phone if your USB port is busted?
If it is charging well, then I suspect there is a conflict in drivers.

If the power and ground pins are active, it will charge, but if the data +/- pins arent' connected, you can charge but not transmit data. My USB cord did that to me, will charge, but won't show "usb mode" to connect for usb storage. Thought it was the rom, flashed 4 times, realized the cord must have a break in the VCC+/- wires.
I had to install the 4.3 firmware on my S3 since it got soft-bricked, but it seems that even though I installed the Samsung USB Drivers and installed Odin, my phone won't connect to Odin. I tried using different charging wires and different USB ports, and that doesn't work either. Even my friend's phone, which was an S3 as well, managed to connect to Odin with the same charging wires. Is it something to do with my phone? I need help with this.
My S3 updated to 4.3 (locked bootloader) and I can't make it connect via USB, it won't connect. I've tried everything, every link I can find, reghacks, drivers (countless installs/etc). I know what I'm doing, I've been using computers longer than a lot of posters here have been alive.
The thing is the device isn't telling the PC what type of Hardware it is, let alone the PC having drivers. I actually think my phone is toast - I'm glad it still charges and you can (if you're not rooted) root via Towelroot without a PC.
Good luck.
