USB problems

Hey. My captivate has been working beautifully with these new GB roms until about a week ago when my computer won't even recognize my phone. and all the phone shows that it charging but no notification about USB connection? ive tried different ports and reinstalling drivers all that good stuff and restarting my computer and turning on and off usb debugging and the cable still works with other devices so can anyone help?
Also can you tell me if samsung will replace my phone with a custom ROM on it? im thinking of doing this because i cant flash back to stock without the USB working!

Are you sure the cable is 100% functional? What other devices?
Try plugging it in to another computer as well

I have had that problem on a few gb roms too. Go into USB settings and change them to kies and then plug your phone into the computer using your USB cable. Just leave it plugged in for a few seconds, you don't have to wait for your phone to be detected. After unplugging the cable, restart your computer and phone. Once both are running again, go back into USB setting and change them back to USB storage and then plug your phone back into your computer, making sure you use a USB port directly connected to your motherboard. Works for me everytime.
Edit: If you suspect that your USB cable is not working, see if Odin will detect your phone in download mode. Don't flash anything, just see if it says connected in Odin.

it didnt work if i just go to samsung and give them the phone with the custom rom on it what would they do?

Download kies and see if your computer will detect your phone in kies mode. You could always get an SD card and put all the files on the card then move them to your internal SD. If you have a custom rom installed you can flash stock using cwm. Did you try connecting your phone in download mode to your computer running Odin??? If it doesn't detect it then your USB port is not working or your USB cable is broken. If it is working flash stock and start again. It could be a bad flash.

i have had the same problem a couple days ago, plugged in another captivate into my computer it recognized it. then plugged in my phone and everything was working fine again.
try plugging in anothe android phone running froyo or whatever version you have

Can you get your phone into download mode?

Sounds like it could be, try plugging it into the back of the computer and see if that helps.

The USB drivers for download mode are in the bootloaders and has nothing to do with the USB drivers for the rom. Even if you had a bad flash and the USB portion of the rom was corrupt, your computer would still be able to detect your phone in download mode. See if you can plug your phone into a different computer either at a friends house or at work to see if they can detect your phone with your cable. If not, you will need a new cable.

So what if that didn't work and nothing was wrong with the cable? Would it be my USB port on the phone because the cable wiggles when I put it in.

[Q] How to unroot my samsung infuse? phone to pc connect failed!

I rooted my samsung infuse with superoneclick and now I want to unroot but the problem is my computer won't recognize my device. I've installed the driver from samsung, hard reset, and even tried connecting to other pcs but no luck. What am I missing??? Help please!

did you try a different usb cable?

yea, i tried that but still nothing

1. Try connecting to a different port
2. Try connecting to a different system
3. Ensure the cable being used is a data cable, and not a power cable

root does not break your phone, i rooted alot if times and nothing happen

Thanks, but I've tried everything suggested so far, and all it does is charge. I tried it on xp, vista, and w7. I also tried 4 different data cables from the at&t store.

Which route did you go about installing drivers? You can do a direct install or full on kies. Kies works for me.. well the stupid program doesn't but the drivers do.. Stupid Samsung.. lol. And run all programs in administrator mode.. produces better results for smart users.

But windows automatically installs the drivers right? (if not found)

No...
It installs drivers if the device already has the same included...
Fit is not plug-and-play, which means you need to install drivers manually...or install kies...
Whichever you prefer...

Dont go for KIES .... !! It's a crap ..

You don't have to use it if you don't want. Installing Kies means you're installing USB drivers, you don't have to start kies everytime when you connect ur phone through usb. I've installed kies but never used it. I use it HIGHLY OCCASIONALLY.

Yup kies is waste of mem (if u ask me ) for drivers go to sammobile website registr n check our phn specific drivers its just around 25mb file dats easy if u dnt want kies

I found it easier to install drivers kies then uninstall kies

thanks in advance.

Install kies then...

Even after installing kies it is still charging. Device is not connected to kies.
hey i am using the usb cable of galaxy ace. is it the problem? but i think these cables can be used on both the devices.

I use the same cable on 2 different blackberry's, my nokia 5310 and c3, samsung monte, and acer liquid metal...
So I don't think that's the problem...
Have you tried using a different computer?

yes i have triedon different computers also.. but its not working there too.

Hi.
I had the problem too. I did this to connect my phone:
1. Go in DownloadMode. Now, the computer must install drivers, like odin.
2. If the installation finished, hold down the Powerbutton for 10 seconds. It'll restart, if nothing happens try to start with holding the powerbutton again.
3. Then, if the phone is started, your computer finds the phone!
I'm not responsible for any damages!!!!

Help?

I tried to root my 4g sidekick with superoneclick, it said something I clicked root and it said http://imgur.com/qJHQY I clicked okay, all it did was freeze up and then now when i plug my phone into my computer it doesn't even recognize that its being plugged in. I can't transfer files or anything. I've tried factory restore but that does nothing either. Yes I have the drivers installed, My pc doesn't recognize anythings being plugged into it and neither does the phone. I've tested all my usb ports with other devices and they work just fine.

There was nothing that said Samsung Android but i uninstalled anything that said Android but still nothing, as I said my computers not even realizing i have anything plugged into it. But it recognizes other devices just fine

The phone is still booting? What USB mode do you have it in? It's under Applications in settings, and I believe you need it set to Kies to root it.

I've tried all the USB modes. The computer and phone itself isn't recognizing that it has a usb plugged into it. But yet it will take a charge. This all happened after trying to root the phone. I've never had an issue before.

Yes I had it in USB Debug mode. And Yes 50 bucks lol why interested?

If you don't hear the USB connection sound, there is nothing you can do on the PC side that will fix it. The phone is not acting like a USB device at all. Try plugging it in to the PC while the phone is in recovery mode or download mode.

Why yes i am lol

actually there is way withour connecting to PC.. flashing a zip file from your stock samsung recovery but the file can be bugged/corrupt.etc its not safe so DONT TRY IT.
You said your phone is not detected by your PC and you tried everything why dont you try it with your friends computer/laptop if it still doesnt work then your phone's USB port have some problem.(Hardware Problem)

پاسخ : [Q] problem usb connection
I try with my two laptop. With my car music player, with my office computers but don,t work.
Today try to clean connectors . Then when connect it , the "not recognized..." massage apears. Reinstaling drivers (I have 4 different driver) & reinstaling kies don't change it.
In the past when connect, nothing respond from pc.
In the other try, cut the usb cable from middle, remove cover of each wire , connect red & black wire(they are for charging) and then connect red wires to green wire that becomes from mobile side. So kies logo apears on mobile! When try from other side(green wire from pc) , pc says "not recognized...". But when connect the green wires to eachother , nothing happend.
You sayd install from stock recovery. Try several zip file before. But "failed to verify the whole-file signature" was result.
Is there any zip file that can use from stock recovery. I know instaling stock roms don't need root.

Installing stock ROM for 2.3.6 doesn't need root access but it requires ODIN.. but you cannot connect to PC.. your USB port of your phone is not working well.. did you try at samsung service centre ??

پاسخ : [Q] problem usb connection
Service center is my last option.

R u able to connect it with mass storage mode..? If S then its a driver problem. If thats the case i'll give u the link of another(not kies) driver.. Install n Try it.. Jst reply
:thumbup:

when you connect your phone to pc, the pc show usb device not reconized, mean most properly, your PC usb driver mass up. try uninstall all USB driver by manually in windows devices manager and reinstall the driver.
