[Q] USB Not Working =[

This has been happening ever since I flashed my phone a second time. First time was from stock to MIUI (USB worked with MIUI), but when I flashed it to I think GB it just stopped working. Whenever I plug it into my computer, all it does is charge my phone... I tried multiple USB ports, none of them work, all of them just charge my phone... Help?
EDIT:
I just restored my phone, I'm on Firmware 2.3.6; Build#: GINGERBREAD.UCKJ4

Try changing cable?

same thing pretty much, but with a stock rom.
about a week ago my phone would not charge from an outlet very well, it was like i didnt even have it plugged in, it's gotten worse since then...
when i was able to get it to charge from a wall outlet it would go into usb mode, and that was if i was lucky.
now it wont even charge from a wall outlet and i have to charge it from my computer.
i would try to update my phone to the new 2.3 version but my computer wont recognize my phone, i keep getting an error message saying "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it."
i've tried to put it in kies mode and debugging mode and the rest of the modes allowed but still nothing.
i did a factory reset and it still does the same thing(and i lost EVERTHING on my phone but my contacts)
any ideas??

I have the exact same problem. I have tried installing Kiesmini, the samsung usb drivers directly and tried on mac and pc with different cables.
The cables function normally with blackberry's and samsung galaxy ace but the infuse refuses is not recognized by the pc. also the phone does not recognize that it is connected which usually shows a prompt for USB.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am on 2.2.1 stock Froyo and I am unable to root because of not having connectivity to usb through the computer for Superoneclick to recognize. Also, i tried z4root several times to no avail.

[Q] Cannot get pc to recognize skyrocket

So my girlfriends little brother gave me his skyrocket. He asked me to backup his pics, which I did with no problem. I then did a factory reset. After that, my computer does not recognize the phone! I've tried different cables, different computers. My girlfriend has the exact same phone, connects right away.
I even flashed it with a different rom and put ICS on it. No luck! I then proceeded to take it to a phone repair place, thinking it might be the actual usb port. They said they checked out the port, and it look fine. All solder joints were good, no bent pins.
The weird thing is, is that it connects on an average of 1/20 times! It charges perfectly too. The phone doesn't go in and out of charge mode if i wiggle the cable either. I'm kind of confused! Is there a file on the phone that tells the computer what it is when connected? If so, can I manually replace that file? WHAT DO I DO!

When you goto recovery mode can you goto mounts and say mount usb? and does the pc recognize it then?

Kind of. We had trouble with it when flashing it. I personally didn't flash it. I watched my friend do it

You could try installing the drivers again..

You mean on the computer? I did that. No luck. It does connect more often though WITH the drivers.

I had some problems with USB connectivity too. Using the cable that the Skyrocket came with solved my issues.
Have you tried any combination of restarting and reinstalling the drivers?
Swyped from my Nook Tablet, running CM7.

Yes. I've tried multiple cables including the stock cable. Installing drivers, restarting both devices. I have definitely ruled out the cable, the PC ( PC's actually), and the physical USB port.

I had similar issues, messed with phone for a bit and came up with this
System settings>more>USB utilites
Now I got a screen that says USB mass storage with a button that says Connect storage to PC. Tap Button.
A window will pop up asking to Turn off USB debugging (if on) Tap OK
Connect USB cable to storage (plug USB cord into PC).
You should now be at the USB Mass Storage screen, Tap button at bottom (Turn on USB storage)
I found this to be the way to turn on Mass Storage since I flashed ICS, I believe. Hope this helps you, it took me a little while to figure out.

Of course, that's how it's always been except in a slightly different location on ICS

I've tried that also. Didn't work

it basically sounds like the USB port on the phone is dead. Warranty that sucker

I took it to a repair shop. They said the port was perfectly fine!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

Not to mention that it was working perfectly before I did the factory restore
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

how exactly did the repair shop test it?

try plugging it into another usb port on the same computer or try using a different computer. It could be the usb port on the PC itself.

That's the first thing he tried, it's in the OP

yeah i've tried everything! The repair shop determined that the port was good by examining it under a scope and they also said they tried re-flowing the solder joints. They said they wanted to stay away from replacing the usb port because it was very difficult to replace, not to mention they didn't warranty the job!

Someone has to know the answer to this!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

if its still under warranty replace it, thats all u can do. No one else in this forum besides u can physically touch the phone, so if you've tried all suggestions thats all thats left

i have the same problem but mine is little different, when i power off the phone it keeps on going to download mode, i keep on restarting it and it goes back to download mode, i flash stock rom and it does the same, i flash ics rom and it keeps on doing the same can anyone help?

No download mode :(

So I flashed my infuse from Froyo to GB to ICS and then to JB...but ironically the same day that i flashed to JB, my download mode stopped working.
Ever since I flashed to JB (CM10 and slimbean so far) My computer says "USB device is not recognized or has malfunctioned" and I cannot put the phone into download mode via 2 buttons and usb cable. When I plug the phone in it just turns on and starts charging and the computer wants nothing to do with it.
I know the USB port works because it charges without a problem. I have also tried 2 other windows 7 PCs, and my macbook. Can't get it into DL mode or to mass storage.
Any ideas?

Just cause it charges doesn't mean it works...that just means the power part works...power and data transfer are two desperate things...I've had cords in the past that after a while stopped working as data cables and became strictly charge only cables...
So, have you tried a different data cord? Its likely the data transfer cables got damaged due to normal wear and tear (these cords arent made to last...)

Yeah my friend just used it with his note so i know the cord works :\

Try a different cable, just do it. Denial is not good. I had same problem then got a different , different cable and it worked. As i tried three cables. I do believe one did work to get mass storage but it didn't work to flash my xperia x10, that's what bugged me.don't really remember as i have bricked these phones so may times experimentation ya know, it is hard for me to remember .
as i was flashing my infuse at the same time i used the data cable that does work with the infuse and my other cable wasn't working it wouldn't recognize and ahhh went through my head so after infuse got done i switched cables and vola it worked.
If not then reinstall drivers reboot pc and get a data cable that is really a data cable .

TF101 not detected, not even in APX

Hi, my TF101 died some time ago and the other day i changed the motherboard and it came back to life.
The problem now is that is not detected by any pc when connected via usb, not even in APX mode.
The usb cable works fine, it charges the tablet but nothing else. Tried a couple of cables, pcs, macs, usb debugging on/off, etc.....
Now it is in stock 4.0.3 and i cannot find a way to root it.
Any idea what can i do to root it?
Thanks!

Anyone? Having stock android is very painfull.... Need help!

Have you double checked everything is plugged in correctly on the board you replaced ?
Cna't remember off hand how to root without USB on stock ICS, but check transformerforums.com - there are a guides on rooting ICS, you might find something
I would look at the USB issue though, maybe just taking the thing apart and connecting it all back up will sort it, could just be a loose connection

Yea i thought about that but if the tablet is charging then the connections are ok, as it's the same flex that connects the port to the mb. Right?

Well it's the same one, but different pins, sometimes people find they can charge but not connect to USB, but a replacement cable fixes the problem
Worth checking imo

My 2 year old original cable still charges but does not work for USB connections. Had to get a new cable. New one works perfectly well.

Charging is working but usb mtp doesn't work...!

When I connect my n5 using data cable, it only goes into charging mode & doesn't even detect the cable attached.!
Same thing in TWRP recovery mode.:crying:
can this be resolved by replacing the back panel chip which houses the charging port?

Have you tried connecting it with a different cable?

when ur phone is on try swiping down notification bar and change the usb attach mode to MTP from charging or refer to my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/noob-friendly-instruction-ur-pc-t3345512

Thank you for suggestions guys..
But I think the port may be fried since it heats up like crazy within seconds of plugging to charge though the charging doesn't work.
I am thinking of replacing the port along the flex cable.
Anyone has idea how much it costs Mumbai, India.???
A local shop said 1150/- rupee in my local area...

Yup that's the cost when I asked also! In Pune!
