usb still not working - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

had anyone having problems connecting their phones to their pcs ever find a fix?
my phone still won't get recognized by my laptop. not to sure why. it hasn't been able to recognize it since i flashed to gb. my wife has the same phone stock and the laptop sees hers fine.
things I've tried:
reinstall drivers
restarts
kies
different rom
different laptop
different cables
download mode
factory resets
debug mode and ask on connection
deleting the usbs from device manager
like i say my wifes phone can get recognized by my laptop. i think the bootloaders for gb has something to do with this problem but that's just me thinking.
i get an unknown device error in device manager. also when i was installing the drivers and
hooked up the phone it seemed to fail on CSc and adb our something can't really remember

In what way are you trying to get your device recognized? Mass storage or download mode?

See if your computer will read just the sd card.

Heimdall runs on different drivers than kies or Odin. Uninstall kies and Odin then install heimdall and the drivers.

Your computer sees your device it just doesn't know what it is. I thinks this is because Odin jacked up your device drivers. many people have this issue and can resolve it by reinstalling the drivers combined with a different version of Odin. Did I mention Odin is unstable? Lol.

use the kj6 with beta 2d kernel one click. The kernel is still beta but it's stable and has voodoo cwm.
If you have trouble installing drivers try using your other stock device for driver installation.

I had the same problem after installing CM7. Reinstalling the google usb driver(android_winusb.inf) fixed the problem.

Okay the Google USB driver worked.(I appreciate that thank you) but Just says unknown device. connected. It ddoesn't seem to be popping up in Odin. :/ this is frustrating. Tomorrow ill try different comp.

If it says unknown device then it didn't work. Have you tried installing kies drivers yet? If not, try this: http://www.filesonic.com/file/1536466454

Yes I installed kies, kies mini. Didn't do anything .the drivers are on the computer. It does connect to my computer at work though. But it is inconvenient especially if something goes wwrong with a flash and I'm at home.

Question about reverting back to stock

Hey everyone I'm currently rooted and running cm7 and everything runs amazingly....only issue now is that my USB port only charges my phone and doesn't sync data.
So my question is...what are my options? Is it possible to download the stock program on my SD card and maybe use mobile Odin or anything?
Any ideas will help....I want to re-flash more roms but feel I should have clean flashes by going back to stock.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not saying the port isn't bad...but this is a common problem in the forum...like I said I still have this problem with my laptop...so when I use Odin I have to use the wife's laptop. Exhaust all possibilities before giving up

Flash stock rim without computer?

Is there any way to flash stock rom without the use if Odin? Computer won't recognize phone and I have to send iT back for warranty after trying everything I can think of.

Can you get to d/l mode or recovery mode?

It's not clear what state your phone is in but if you can boot and have root mobile odin should work.

You can try to flash the below official ICS Stock roms via CWM, then try to reconnect with PC to flash via ODIN for complete stock.

Do you have the necessary drivers installed on the pc? Try installing Kies on the pc. It will install the proper drivers for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes i have installed keis i even downloaded the drivers straight from the Samsung website too. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer(any computer) it says usb not recognized/malfunction. I have read many threads about how to fix this but none have worked for me. Im thinking about returning this phone because its still under warranty but its rooted.

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

Hmm...pick a free one. can't hurt. BTW it doesn't have anything to do with your virus checker does it?
Disable your virus protection. You sure you have your phone in download mode? Can your phone reach download mode?

USB debugging & download mode not working

I have an infuse on uclb3 and I decided to flash aokp. I downloaded the rooted heimdall package and my phone wont show up in download mode.
So I decided to root on PC but USB debugging wont show up at all. Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
So you are in ulcb3 stock without root or cwm right?
You made sure your phone was entering download mode when trying to use heimdall?
Edit: in settings > applications> development there should be an option to toggle usb debugging on or off
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
I know both of those but the adb icon in the top doesn't show up and download mode doesn't show up in Odin or heimdall
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Sorry I'm not quite understanding you :/
An adb icon where exactly?
For odin or heimdall to detect your phone you must first place it in download mode by:
-Remove battery and put it back.
-While holding vol up and down, connect your device to the Pc
If it still does not recognize your device then it could be the drivers

I got drivers installed and I can connect and transfer files just debug/download modes don't work or something

There SHOULD be an adb icon in status bar when USB debugging is enabled there's none on mine
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Okay, so you say you are trying to root your device.. using superoneclick?
You made sure you have usb debugging on? Does the program return any error?
Please I need you to be as detailed as possible to be able to tell what is happening and to be able to give you better assistance.
Edit: agreed, if it is on it should appear right next to the "usb connected" when your phone is connected to a Pc. You double checked it is switched On in settings?
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
I'm not using super one click just adb for temp root usb connected woeks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
May I ask why you want temp root instead of fully rooting it?
To obtain temp root through adb is a bit complicated and it requires using a series of commands to push our phones exploit and run it from within.

Well that should be because of Usb Debugging not being turned on..
Follow the instructions here and let me know if you succeed. If it does not, tell me what the program returns or if becomes stucked at some point.

Strange.. Well that leaves us with odin or heimdall..
If after entering download mode neither of them still recognize it, then the problem could be the usb cable or the usb port
