[Q] No USB? - Samsung Infuse 4G

My Infuse does not show the notification for USB in the notification drawer when I plug it into any computer with any cable. When I have it in CWM it also does not connect when I force it to mount USB storage.
I've got a phone upgrade coming up the Sunday after this one. Note 2 time? Or wait for the SGS4? orrrrrrrrrr something else?

no usb

I had the same thing happen to me. Currently on Scotts jb cm10. Tried to remount in recovery as you with no luck as well. Finally put my phone in download mode with a dongle, pulled battery, rebooted, and then was ok again...never happened before, new build coming out in a few minutes, hopefully will not see it again.

Question..
Does it charge when you plug it in?

It does so very... sketchily? I don't know a word for it. The chargers have to be in the right position or it doesn't work.

That's the thing. I can't get into download mode because my phone thinks I'm plugging the AC charger in and I don't have a jig..
Edit: Did download mode from the power button menu and it didn't change anything.

Try different cables, as I'm sure that you're aware, not all cables are created equal.
Try wiggling the end that plugs into your phone ever so gently.

Sounds like the USB port is bad.. that's a well known problem with this device unfortunately..

I had the same problem, cwm red wouldn't connect, had to go to blue.

Given that you're having charging issues as well, this does seem like a hardware issue. If another cable doesn't do the trick, then as has already been said, it's probably the port.
As for your upgrade question, I personally would wait for the S4 unless your current phone totally borks out beforehand.

[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.

Infuse 4g USB problem

When I plug my USB cable into my computer and then into my phone the phone does not recognize the computer and vice versa. It will charge, but that is it. A few weeks ago I tried an AOKP rom which has "fast charge" I set this setting to be on to test it out and then turned it off. Ever since then I have not been able to transfer files with the cable plugged in, so I used AirDroid to wirelessly do it. I remember something in the warning about it, but I thought when you format/wipe and flash a new rom it corrects the issue. I have flashed a completely new rom since then and still nothing. Any help would be nice, thanks.
Try going back to stock through Odin or heimdal

How are you supposed to Odin/heimdall, if it doesn't connect even during download mode?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Lol didn't think of that...when I had my infuse I had the same problem with the stock USB cable...after a while data transfer stopped and it became a charge only cable...I would use my dads cable that worked perfect for data transfer...
So try a different USB cord or try a different USB port...

You can try this too
Hi, I faced this issue few times and tried several options like change cable/port/computer and worked.
One thing Recently i noticed when all of the above failed in my case is :- 1 Development->Uncheck the USB debug mode, 2. Check Mass Storage in USB connection setting. ( you need to unplug usb cable while doing it)
Now try connecting and give few minutes. If you can see the USB mass storage notification you are good to go. Go back and change the Debug mode as Checked.
It worked for me couple of times hope it may work for you too.

Sounds like the dreaded USB port failure. Many Infuse users have gone through this as its a known issue. I returned mine and got a replacement via warranty.

Hey There,
We had the same issue with many units and solved all by doing the following:
-Flashing the unit back to stock
-Performing a factory data reset after flashing(This is a must)
Note: Even though your device will not connect to the computer in PDA mode you should still be able to connect in download mode so it can be flashed with ODIN.(Unless if it's hardware related)

Problem rooting the tablet

I've been having some trouble with my TF101. It started with the charger that simply stopped charging. Tried putting on the freezer and a bunch of other stuff but nothing helped. I've then tried to use a tool - Ai Charger - that changes the voltage of the PC's USB port so I could charge it just like the charger.
But the PC couldn't recognize the tablet as a USB device, probably because of no USB mass storage. So I decided to go back to stock to see if it helped. It didn't. And now I'm stuck with the TF101 using stock ICS and I desperately want to go back to Megatron 1.1.6, but I have no root, and no way to USB it into my computer to root it.
Any suggestions on how do I get root back?

I'm pretty sure the AI device thing does not trick the TF101 into charging. If you turn on USB debugging does it detect anything?

Absolutely nothing. It does charge the device at an unbelievably slow pace when it is turned off. Like, two entire days for a full recharge.
I just tried this one-click rooting and I got no success: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155

Have you try to use another cable?
I was there once, pulling all my white hair, everything solved after using new cable. Now I can go back and forth from various ICS and JB.

Yeah, I'm guessing this is really the issue. There was one time since the beginning of this post that my PC recognized the tablet and started installing the drivers for it. Guess I'm gonna order a new cable and test it. Thanks for the help, guys.
And to get root I recommend this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193
It can root almost all TF101, in a very simple way

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...)

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 .

[Q] Can't Connect to PC with USB

I have just come back from a 2 week journey and my phone no longer is recognized by my pc.
I've uninstalled the USB drivers and reinstalled.
I've tried on multiple USB ports
I've tried multiple cables
I've tried multiple PC's
And of course I've rebooted everything multiple times.
I am on CleanRom 6.0R2
During the trip the the car charger cable got a yank while attached to the phone and ruined the connector on the charger. I replaced the charger with no issues. The phone will charge fine with usb cable attached to my PC. Is there any chance the usb connector on the phone got damaged? Anything else to try?
Thanks for your help.

It is possible it is damaged. Only other thing I know is to hook to USB then boot into download mode while it is connected. Had to do on Win 8 couple of times. It will try to refresh drivers from phone side.

I know it is a silly question, but I never used Odin to root to begin with, so I've never been in download mode. I know to use Volume Down + Home + Power button to get into download mode. But what will happen after this without Odin on the PC?

Nothing. But it may try to load drivers to pc. I have got my usb ports to work doing that on Win 8. Phone has drivers also but that is how you force it to push to PC. Make sure usb debugging is on also before going to download mode. Worth a shot.
