Defected sgs2 wont connect to pc, install custom rom ota?

Hey
i've been trying to find a custom rom that i can install onto my completely stock sgs2 lte without connecting to pc and flashing with odim. My phone is apparently defected and cannot connect to pc, trying to install custom rom might fix the issue. the phone is completely stock, not even rooted.
can someone direct a link to that rom?
thanksks!

the only way as far as I know is to hook it up to PC. Mine did the same thing. Wouldn't register on a PC. I tried various cables until I found one that would work. That's the best advice I can give you.

Try different USB Ports and different cables or another computer.

If your rom version support the zerg rush rooting method you can do it, install cwm and flash a rom from there.
I never had to flash anything using odin, tried using odin only once and even then I dont think it recognized my phone due to bad kies drivers(which I have fixed by now).

you do have the correct drivers installed right? More info in your first post would be an advantage to those trying to help

Also like the last guy I just thought about it could be your kies installed **** drivers, happened to me the first time, couldn't connect the phone to the pc but it worked great on the mac try completely uninstalling kies and the usb drivers and installing them from scratch.

Download wifi file transfer peo and start loading up the phone without ever connecting it. I've never had to connect the phone to the pc ever since I stated using that app.
Everything is mobile Odin or CWM now right off the sd card and wifi for data.

Get dolphin browser hd from the market. U can download anything u want just like on a pc.

i've tried that but never tested on mac because i dunno anyone that has a mac nearby lol.
i have contacted samsung, they said its defected so send it in for repairs, since i dont have warranty they'd charge me up the ass. Its funny because they asked me why do i need to plug to pc, i simply said music, photo... shoulda been like TO MOD YOUR ****.
more or less, i have last resort to sell it on kijiji and buy another same model off kijiji, hoping its not defected. the sgs2 is a sweet phone, real talk lol

Hi, I want some help with this same issue. I'm not sure what forum etiquette is here, whether you guys prefer a bump of an old thread or that I just start a new one??
Anyway my phone is wigging out so I wanted to wipe and flash but I can't figure out how to do this since no PC/cord combo will recognize my phone, though it still charges. I wanted to use ROM Manager to flash OTA, but I can't since I can't figure out how to get cwm installed ota. I've been digging around the forum and googling for a couple days now to no avail.
Version - 2.3.5
Baseband - I727UCKJ2
Kernel - 2.6.35.11
It was rooted but I never flashed any roms. It randomly shuts itself off and upon a battery pull will get stuck in Odin dl mode? If i do a batt pull after that it will go straight back to Odin dl mode or it get's stuck in a vibration loop. Sometimes if I plug it in it will start up with a dead battery though?
Any ideas?
Should I just make a new thread on this??

clean the usb port on the phone, then the usb shall connect, i had the same prob its fixed now

Install Odin and see if it "sees" the phone in d/l mode.

I feel for you - I had same problem, which I was never able to solve - if it's any consolation, the ICS update has fixed it, which I installed with desktop odin.

Yeah but my problem is that i came to a little town in colombia for vacations (there is so hot girls in this contry) :good
And in this place the electric service is very bad and i had fear that when i am updating my phone the electricity fails and the computer turn off and my phone get bricked

MIUI v4 ROM borked by USB...

So I had usb working on GB, leak 1 ICS, and then I flashed the MIUI ROM when mass storage wasnt working. I decided to go ahead n flash CM10 afterwords n since MIUI my usb mass storage is borked, I can only charge whenever plugged into a computer. Ive tried different ROMs n they all are the same (CM10, StockEd, NUMA) and none have it working for me. I wanna FXZ back n start over, but can cuz my AP Fastboot wont install the Edison S drivers.... I need help n am going crazy. The computer detects the phone in Fastboot, tries to install the drivers, but everytime fails I have tried going through the RSDLite n it cant detect my phone, I have the SDK setup too, so its not missing that :/ Im out of ideas on how to fix my usb other then if someone could upload a flashable zip of the ICS kernel we use, see if maybe the kernels just borked, otherwise can someone help??

As in? I dont know, Ill tell you everything Ive flashed, maybe you can figure it out lol. I got the phone, flashed leak 1, then MIUI, then CM10, then StockEd, then NUMA, now back on CM10. I have flashed the bootstrap (obviously lol). When it comes to the RSDLite n stuff, I tried the most recent 5.7 and for FXZ whatever the most recent is. My boot menu version is 0A.72. My fastboot says from top to bottom...
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.72
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Thats all it says. When I connect the cable it tries to install the drivers on windows side , but then fails.
If you need any other info, just let me know of what n possibly where. I know most android stuff, its when it comes to moto specific things like FXZ n stuff I suck at, this is my first locked device n first moto

Okay so basically go and double check you have the most current drivers. Then if you want to flash stock ics here is the link where I posted where to get it and rsd 6 as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1967529
And try to run the recovery factory format. Then run the fastboot after. I should not matter but I always did it before I used fastboot.

Like I've said I can't get RSDLite or FXZ to work. I went to RSDLites code.google.com or whatever n they had links for every RSD n both 32bit n 64bit drivers, I figured that'd have the most recent there. I'll try straight from motos site n see if it works

yes you don't necessarily have too but it is good practice to wipe everything before you flash a file using fastboot even though fastboot removes everything naturally.And basically you flash the stock 4.0.4 fastboot file .zip using RSDlite with the phone on fastboot mode. You cant flash any other rom like numa or anything else just the OTA updates which restore it back to stock.

So I RSDLite'd to GB, all is good, but usb still doesnt work
Could the MIUI ROMs bug actually have 100% borked the port?

Well that's gay! Idk if this is your problem but I had a SD card that was messed up and for some reason all my phones storage was going to it. When I plugged it into the computer it would only show my sdcard. And would not allow me to use the data on it. If you have a sdcard then it can't hurt to switch it. I am not saying that is the problem but it is a possibility.

Well I have no idea then:/ my only suggestion is to see if you can send them the phone for repair or for a replacement even though you did not buy the phone from att or motorola. There might be a way to solve this problem but I have no idea how. Maybe one of the devs on here can help? Like the one that ported MIUI to the atrix? And did you make sure that its not the cable and not the phone selected on charge only through the settings? Little things that no one thinks of sometimes that make a huge impact on the phone. Because if some how you can flash a fastboot file but not store data then maybe the drivers for the phone are messed up? Have you tried to store data on it from another friends computer?

Yes I have tried 3 diff computers to no avail. The cable is fine it worked before the MIUI ROM. I posted a reply to the devs MIUI thread and private msged hom n he wont reply, its been like a week :/ Like I was telling a friend of mine....maybe the bootloader got borked cuz its the only thing I know of that doesnt get touched when flashing roms or fxz'n. I mean is there a way to flash a fresh ICS ready bootloader or kernel? Hell I cant even do tjat cuz I finally fxz'd n it still doesnt work n now I have no root n cant do **** til I root. Any idea of a way to root or temp root on the phone. If i cpuld at least temp root I can perm root myself after n just deal with no usb mounting, Im stuck on OEM ICS n hate it lol, I wanna get back on CM10(preferably with usb mounting, but just wanna be back on a jellybean ROM now lol)

Im on a customized rom now. Do you think its best to allow my phone to take the upgrade....go back and re root real quick. and then reflash the old baseband.
Or just flash the new build and reflash the old baseband.
I heard it best to allow your phone to take the OTA from verizon, which if I do I will obviously loose root...

It depends on what you want. The rom does not change the baseband. If you want to stay on the old baseband just flash a new rom. No need to reroot and go through all that unless you just want to.

Help plz! Not getting 4g anymore

Tried getting help. I recently tried a fresh install of cm13. When it booted up it searched for a network. Went to network settings and let it look for a network. Found sprint and said it was trying to connect or register. Now I'm only getting schity 3g data sometime. No 4g. Almost seems like its not using the sim card. Tried booting up without it and it was still working?
Edit: using the g900p for sprint

If you're that desperate go back to a stock rom. Your sprint network will work. Then when you have time play with other roms.

i have tried to go back to stock through recovery and doesnt work. im on ok4. do i need to odin that?

Use Odin to go back to complete stock. That should fix this issue. If you should then wish to do so take the OTA to MM. After you do that make a backup in TWRP that way if you screw up you can restore a full backup in minutes. I have trouble getting everything to work on the other custom roms as well. That's why you keep a good copy of a backup to restore in twrp just in case. Anway, get odin and flash the stock 0K4 tar through that, it will fix you.

Okay so you tried to Odin flash that OK4 tar? That should have worked. Do you have the 4g lte sim card? I bought my s5 used and it wouldn't connect to lte until I got my sim in the mail. Otherwise I have no clue. Did you follow those instructions exactly and make sure you wiped your phone completely before taking the tar file?

Hmm. Beyond trying to download the tar again I have no ideas. If it's pretty new maybe take it in?

Its not new anymore. Had it for like a year and a half. They won't touch my phone with custom stuff though....

What did you do to resolve this??

was it connecting to LTE before? if not then you might be best served getting a new sim from sprint, but if it was working before then id get a fresh tar.md5 and flash it in Odin. Here is the place ive been getting my tarballs from as of late. The server seems to be pretty fast and i can attest to the tar.md5s working quite well.
