all but given up on my wifes g2x. can't find a rom/bb that works and even if i did the usb charges but won't connect to my computer.
so i have another one being overnighted to me. i removed the superuser app but its still rooted and has cwm mod.
do they check this crap when it gets back to where ever? is there any way to unroot/removed cwm without usb?
They do check it. And far as I know there is no way to do it with out usb. Does it not charge or just won't connect to PC?

You CAN unroot it without a usb with the z4root app. Find the apk file and install it, then click unroot.
Edit: are you sure you its the phones problem and not the USB? It sounds like you may not have the USB drivers installed for you computer

Has to retract what I was trying to imply because it wouldn't display right. Basically what I was saying was reinstall the drivers. Maybe even uninstall the old one first. And make sure you are using a data cable. Some USB cables are simply just for charging and won't transfer data which you PC won't recognize it

fukk me! i grabbed the wrong phone and unrooted mine

edit: her phone is all sorts of dorked up. wouldn't even download the z4 using the QR. and when i finally get it up and running it FC's
guess i'll just take my chances and hope they don't try and get in the bootloader to see cwm
edit 2: ok i got it unrooted from here, yet cwm remains. any way to remove that?

Try different drivers. Like the link I posted. Sometimes you may have to lead your computer to the drivers. When the pop up says unknown device click on it. You will need to know where the drivers are saved. Guide it to the drivers
Or you can insist you have done everything and in which case why create a thread
i installed the drivers,now do i need to restart my computer, thx again
Then take it into an AT&T store and see if they can make an USB connection. If not, then you can get the phone replaced with one that does work.

Kies used to recognize my phone till it was on JF6 stock. Even after 2.1 update 1 JF7, it stopped connecting.
Haven't had this issue until now. I'm running the new CM7 ROM. Now USb worked fine last night. No issues. However, im at work this morning (yes drivers are installed) and I can get a charge but when I turn on USB storage with the phone it shows it good to go but computer isn't seeing it. So cant access SD card.
Any help?
The drivers don't work with CM yet. You actually need to uninstall them to get your computer to recognize your phone.

Thanks. Owe ya one...
so... i was on cm7 with twrp and i wanted to install the new aokp team acid released with fixes. I thought i read the op correctly and could use twrp to install aokp. i was getting an error but i already wiped system and did a factory reset. anywho i had no os and all my backups on my sd card got deleted a few days prior than today. so i busted out heimdall and everything was going great but the usb cord i was using was some poop and it ""disconnected" during installation. so i rebooted the phone and it gave me the connect to kies message with the 2 computers and i tried i again leaving the phone in one spot. again it came "disconnected" (what a bs usb cord it is). so i went to try a third time and now heimdall cant see my device. but i know its not the cord as poopy as it is it will detect my wifes phone which is a sgs4g too. is there anyway to get heimdall to see what my phone is again?

Either that or you may have a broken charging port also. That could be a broken charging port on your phone. Not always is a usb cable fault. But like Imx said, just calm down and youll see the light at the end. After all, youre using an unbrickable Galaxy 4g. Which worst case scenario is the most simple to apply unbrickable mod.

Actually a blackberry cable is preferred. The samsung cable is not the best quality. I use it but Im also scared Im going to have issues. I use to have a blackberry cable around here somewhere and there wasnt a phone I couldnt get recognized on my pc with it.
thanks for the advice guys i will try a different cord and reply with my findings. i dont think it is my charging port. that should be fine never had a problem charging it. i never applied the unbrickable mod do you think this would help me?
All i get in the unknown device error when i plug the phone in right now. samsung drivers still dont help it. like i said when i hook my wifes phone which is a galaxy s 4g too to my computer it will recognize hers just not mine.

When you google one click stock for our device and download it the Java app requires you to install Java on your PC one this is done the program will automatically ask if you won't to install the drivers click yes then you will need to go to list at the top left corner select recent devices then Samsung will pop up install them then you click flash and it does all the work

guys, ive been messing around now for about 5 hrs trying to get this thing going and no luck. i know there has to be a way. this is a list of things that ive tried and any other suggestions would be very helpful.
*tried a different usb cord
*used usbdeview to delete anything android/samsung related
*tried another laptopkn
*tried another sgs4g (which one click will say connected but then if i try my phone it wont)
*deleted all known drivers samsung/android related
im going to the store now to see if i can get a brand new usb cord and see if that helps. other than that fellas im clueless as to why i wouldnt be able to get one click to see my device. its almost as if the device doesnt know what it is. but sometimes by chance when i plug it in to my computer it will try to install and if i have one click open it will say connected and the drivers are being detected and then when the drivers fail it becomes disconnected.
Anyone have anything else i can try???
Install Heimdall.
Plug in phone, while it's on download screen.
Launch zadig.exe from the Heimdall\Drivers folder.
Options->List all devices.
Choose the Samsung one... I'm away from my computer so I can't give you the exact name, but I think it's Samsung Composite Device.
Change the driver to libusb0.
Install/replace driver.
Restart computer.
Log into computer.
Restart phone.
Flash successfully.
I remember seeing somewhere that once on mtd the phone responds to the Google drivers. You can install those from the android sdk. Don't know if that would help, but worth a shot if you don't have those drivers installed.

I just bought a used infuse today, and it works perfectly besides that it wont sync up to the computer. If connected to the computer it will charge fine, and the computer shows an unknown USB device has been connected. I downloaded Kies mini to 2 different computers try to get it to work but it does not.. I have tried 3 different cables, all of which charge but do not sync. Both computers used are running windows 7 ultimate, 1 cord is an OEM htc, one is the oem samsung, and the other is an ebay one. I have gone into USB and tried debugging and kies. Nothing works!! Help!

Ok I am installing SuperOneClick now.
Ok so I installed one click, then went to forcefully install drivers and the phone then went into USB mode and windows said it was installing drivers, while the phone said it was connected. After about 10 minutes of it doing this I figured something was up so I restarted both of them...Now I get what it is shown in the picture.
Ok now I have it to the point on the phone where when I plug in the cord I can choose kies, media player, and mass storage. But no matter what I pick on the computer does not respond, still just shows that its an unknown device.

Well now it is set to where if its plugged into the computer it will charge immediatly and at all times. However IF I can get it to go into USB mode with the computer(Not really sure why it does, but sometimes the computer recognizes it and I can use mas storage but never Kies). Anyway if it goes into USB mass storage mode and i unplug the cable and plug it into an AC plug quickly the phone will think its still mass storaging with a computer but is actually only charging off of the ac socket....
Seems to be pure software to me as it will get a full charge off of AC when tricked into thinking its in USB mode.

Same happens to my boss and the Tech Support say that is a hardware malfunction on the USB, he go to the store and they replace is infuse.
Happened to me the other day..
Don't really know what fixed mine.. I am on AOKP ics and loaded a gb rom onto the SD card through my laptop and reflashed it.. ended up getting stuck in red cwm.. I was able to select "reboot in download" and when it rebooted, my laptop instantly started installing new drivers, then I reverted to stock with gtg unbrick and reflashed my current rom and all was well.. not sure if that will help at all.. probably won't, but it might be something to look into..
If it reads sometimes and and sometimes it doesn't, I am inclined to believe the USB port is failing..

Well I've tried everything to get Odin and Heimdall to see my phone and NOTHING will work. I used the .apk to get root access and put the modded bootloader on the phone to flash it. That all worked fine but I flashed a new rom with an incompatible bootloader so now I can not read anything on it and it will only bootloop the samsung logo.
I've tried every driver I can find and multiple USB cords. My Galaxy Mega will connect to Odin without any issues at all (So I assume it's not the USB cord or USB slots on the PC), however NOTHING will allow this darn Infuse to show up.
I am using Windows 8 on a Lenovo PC (if that matters). Does anyone have any suggestions that might be able to get me to be detected by Odin so I can take it back to stock and start fresh? Really getting annoyed with this phone's unwillingness to cooperate with my PC.
Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions.
So, I guess nobody has any suggestions on what I can do?

I've already tried that. It would not show up on that computer either. A buddy is gonna bring over a laptop in the next few days so I can try it on that one, but since it has already failed to be recognized on two PC's, I imagine it will also fail on the third.

If you are able to get your phone into DL mode, it sounds like it is still salvageable.
The idea is to get a device recognition with a PC.
If you have already remove and re-install the original samsung drivers, tried different PCs, different USB ports and different USB data cords - then it could the the usb port on the device that is not working correctly.
You can try gently forcing the port in different directions etc..or just take the risk and replace the port yourself or sending to a repair shop.
USB replacement runs about $35 to $50. Mobiletechvideo's currently charges $35

your problem is simple : uninstall all the drivers and Kies. Then reboot and reinstall Kies. now you can connect your phone with odin. It's because in some way, you got your drivers corrupted or changed and they are not able to be used with odin. It happens to me so many times that i cannot count them
So good luck with this issue but im pretty sure you will get rid of this problem with this procedure
Have a nice day !
