Galaxy s2 lte usb not connecting

The title pretty much says it all, I am running rooted rogers stock, and recently my phone has stopped connecting through usb. I have tried on multiple computers and on each one, thr phone just charges when connected, i dont get a notification saying that usb is connected, nothing. I am not using the cable that came with my phone as i have lost it, but the cable im' using worked fine in the past (its a kindle usb btw). I am wondering if theres any way to fix this, or am I SOL?

Try to install the latest Samsung USB Drivers.
Also you can try plugging it to another computer/laptop, if it doesn't work either then there is a chance that the cord has gone bad. I know my computer doesn't recognize my phone when its on my USB extender but when I use the stock USB cord it detects it fine.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Went to the AT&T repair facility and got it swapped out. You can find out where the closest one is from a retail store. Since Galaxy is so new, you probably shouldn't even need your receipt. If you are rooted, I hope you have a stock NANDROID backup of unrooted stock. I was afraid they would deny so I unrooted. Since I didn't have a NANDROID, and didn't want to flash ODIN and trip the counter, I ended up having to make a CWM flashable zip of stock, including stock recovery, using WIFI to transfer the file, and flash. I heard many tech don't care and will swap out for you either way. Hope you get it swapped w/o hassle!

All you need to do is flash the counter reset and Odin the sammobile tar

Could also be an issue with the cable. Had similar issues before switching to a new one.

Rogers tar is in the unbrick/unroot thread. Rogers is waaay more lenient than AT&T, and I don't most know what rooting even is

Read my first post, my problem is that my phone wont connect to my computer through usb so i couldn't flash that tar even if i wanted to

I have the same problem and upon format in cwm it says dev/block unable to.format

There's a similar thread on this in the General section.

In short, IMO it's likely a cold solder issue. Have a long conversation with someone (45 min-hour) with the phone in your hand (so it heats up internally) then connect to a computer. If it comes up, you know it's a hardware issue. This was the case with mine.

[Q] Factory reset SGT2 3113 - with no USB access?

being the clumsy oaf I am, I trashed my 3113 (galaxy tab 2 7") usb cable, I sat on it while it was charging, and (the 30 pin connector end) literally broke in 1/2, severing the pins. I took a look at the connector in the tablet, and it looks unharmed using a magniyfing glass and a spy light.
I have no idea if the tablet's connector is buggered or not until I receive the new cable and try. Unfortunately I don't know anyone else that has this tab to borrow one. I've left it powered off at 95% remaining battery since last night, and don't plan to turn it on until i figure this out.
Here's my problem
If the new cable doesnt work either, it's safe to assume I buggered the tab as well. Thankfully it's still under warranty. BUT, its been rooted, has CWM on it, and has AOKP ROM, a variety has been loaded as well so the counter needs to be reset. I'm 99.99% sure I have the correct factory rom for it.
If the connector is buggered, and I have no USB access how can I reset this tab back to factory, and reset the counter without having a working USB connection?
Can I reset the counter as it is now using Triangle? Then flash the factory rom using CWM in recovery mode?
How can I tell if my rom can be used with CWM to flash, or if it specifically requires Odin to flash?
My cable should be here in about 1 week, is it possible even though powered off at 95% for one week, the battery could deplete?
I have no idea why they use silly cables like this, micro usb would have been fine, i have a drawer full of them. Hopefully this can be fixed up and someone can point me in the right direction. thank you

. I almost guarantee u that the battery life will not deplete all the way. So at least you don't have to worry about that. Also you should be able to flash the stock rom back onto your tablet without a pc or computer. Then from there use triangle away to delete the flash counter. Hope the new cable works!

Update
Thanks for the info about the battery, that will my ease my mood while I wait for the cable however I'm not understanding your answer to my questions;
"Also you should be able to flash the stock rom back onto your tablet without a pc or computer. Then from there use triangle away to delete the flash counter"
Can I flash the factory ROM with CWM as I did with AOKOP? What program if not CWM do I flash it with (using the tablet)?
It is my understanding triangle can only be run as root, it is also my understanding that when a factory rom is flashed back, the device becomes unrooted? Please correct me if my understanding of this is wrong!
so if I follow your instruction, somehow I flash the stock rom back using the tablet only, I assume a reboot will be needed to run triangle, but if the device is now unrooted after factory flash, how will triangle run??
Maybe I'm not understanding correctly? Again any help is much appreciated, thanks for your answers
*UPDTE* the mailman showed up as i was writing this! today by surprise I received a totally different adapter cable (ordered this a month ago totally unrelated), this one allows me to use a normal usb memory stick and memory card on my 3113. It worked with all cards i tried, but now I am 92 % battery., This tells me the connector on the tablet has at least some working pins!!! and is not totally damaged, so I have more hope now. But I still would like to know how to do this without a working usb connection

First off i dont know why i hate this so much but, dont say thanks click the button. Lol
Anyways if you do flash a stock rom you will loose root access, but rooting from a stock rom is a breeze. Any chance u have a custom recovery already installed? If you do download the stock rom from the internet.
Stock rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162736
Then flash it to your tablet. If you do not have a custom recovery, then u might be able to use mobile odin. Its an app on the play store. Im not very familiar with that app. One other thing i might think would work is to download an app from the play store called rom manager. Its free. From rom manager i believe u can install clockwork mod recovery. And from clockwork mod recovery then flash a stock rom. (I would recommend this method but if your familiar with mobile odin then use whatever your more comfortable with.
Hope i could help.

Have a bit of an issue!

So the other day my power button decided to stop working. So I called Verizon and they said that my phone was under warranty and they will send me a new one. The only thing is that I am rooted and when I went to put the phone into Download mode to flash back to stock, Download mode worked for about 3 seconds then the phone turned off. I'm assuming this is because of the power button being jacked up. Sometimes it will work fine and others it will freak out like I'm pushing it again and again, and other times it just doesn't work at all. I have put a stock rooted rom on the phone but I'm wondering if I have any other options. Thanks

Options for what? They aren't going to check your phone, they will just send you a box to send it back in.

If you can;t make download mode work, then your only option is to use mobile ODIN

Thanks, I'll try that tonight

Ha, I am having exact same issue, should have seen this post before I made new thread. Did mobile odin work?
My new phone is coming on Wednesday, 11/27
I just flashed a stock rom too LOL
Still wondering if this should really be a concern...I mean this phone gets back to verizon, like the other hundred that come in, and who is going to look at it, some scrub to make sure it doesnt have water damaged and no physical damage? Idk, just a thought.

I use mobile Odin all the time. It's great

Hmm, so I just used mobile odin and now phone is stuck at galaxy s 3 splash screen...wondering if the random rebooting/power button issues screwed it up. But I do have stock recovery now.

Well, download mode now says Samsung Official Binary and recovery is stock; still wont boot though. Guess this is better than the phone booting into CM when Verizon gets it.

Boot into recovery and factory reset, then it'll boot up just fine.

That was first thing I tried. Bummer. Guess I'll be using my fascinate until new phone comes.
Good luck with your s3, hope you can get yours to boot after using Odin mobile! I don't think Odin caused the problem, I think it was my phone improperly rebooting while Odin trying to work.

Mobile ODIN worked but it didn't want to restart when it was done. When I pulled the battery it booted fine so hopefully all is good.

revert to stock without working usb

My USB port is kaput so I need to send my CWM+CM11 blaze for warranty repair. Can't flash via Odin and the only stock room zip I found on the forums is a dead link. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry dude... At this point, you've voided your warranty by changing the firmware, and the USB is the only I can think of to revert back to stock... You have to remove your custom recovery with an external device, and only can really be done so via USB... Unless you opened up your phone yourself and somehow tapped into a different way...
Are you charging you're battery externally? Have you tried a different version of Android? Believe it or not, I've lost USB functionality (software and hardware uses) because of a particular ROM not working well, or even a need for a simple reinstallation...
Unfortunately, rooting your phone comes with risks, and disclaimers are posted for every thread... Not trying to be a jerk... Just saying...

Actually, based on what I've read on these forums, as long as I can flash a stock zip via CWM, I should be OK. The man don't care if you install a recovery, they just don't want you to root or install another ROM. I did try other ROMs. In fact I'm now running the rooted stock ROM from one of the forum posts. If I can just get an un-rooted stock zip I'd be home free.
I'm charging externally, switching between the OEM battery and a spare I bought.
And yes I knew the risks, but I'm reasonably sure this is not caused by a ROM, more of a hardware failure.

Could someone make me a recovery flashable zip. Soft bricked phone and have no USB.

And I searched all over. And I mean all over and could not find one. So then a stock signed GB for sgh-t959v/sgs4g that is recovery flashable and will pass signature verification, please.

Do one click back to stock install. Search for lumin30 the link is in his signature

It is better to put all info in your post because those using the app cannot see the thread title when reading the post and often open threads without reading the full thread title.
If you do not have a workable USB port on your phone, you will likely have a problem recovering from a soft brick. Give us more detailed information if you would like to see if we can help (i.e. what ROM/kernel you were using before your issues, how you managed to soft brick, etc.).

It's really annoying when you got softbrick hahaha.
but yah, like lumin said, what ROM u use when u soft brick ur phone.
WIPING EVERYTHING THEN FLASH UR ROM
will fix softbrick just backup ur files on ur SD or
WIPE SYSTEM-DATA-CACHE-DALVIK FLASH ROM
will fix also but no need to backup SD files
that method always saves me from softbrick..

Well I have Froyo KD1. And I installed a Bali Kernel made for the Vibrant and not Vibrant Plus using SGS Kernal Flasher. And now I am soft bricked with no USB.

You won't be able to do much without being able to use USB. All the one click methods that will restore your phone to the factory state will need USB access.
Why is it that you can't use your USB port?

Got the phone from my brother. Had the charging port problem and so I took it from him to screw around with. I soldered the USB but I only got it to charge. But it won't sync because I may have soldered a few pins together. But best I could do. So it worked but had no USB.
