It's pissed me off for months.

damn,i at least wanted to remove the bloatware,i cant even do that

Where did you get the drivers?
What cord are you using, oem, or cheap one bought some where?
Have you tried different ports?

To get my pc to recognize my captivate I had to use my rear usb not my front ones.

And what is your USB settings set to? If you don't know, go to:
Settings->Applications->USB settings

I tried all of the ports and have tried usb debugging and mass storage and kies

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.

[Q] SuperOneClick broke my USB?

Well a few days I rooted with SOC worked for a couple days now USB doesn't work at all. It charges just fine but computer does not recognize an external device, nor does my SGS4G. This has been happening with multiple computers and multiple cables, which are the 2 solutions I have found. And yes, I did try restarting my phone, toggling debugging mode, toggling SD card mount, etc.
Thank you for any help I can get.

i am having the exact same issue...i will be watching this thread...sorry i can not help

Interesting problem. I've not used SOC so I may be useless here, but have you tried unrooting with SOC to see if it solves the problem?

If its not recognizing your external SD card have you tried reformatting it?

I can't unroot, because it connects to the phone via USB

I could, but it's not recognizing a connection. When I try to tether it says "USB not recognized". I think it's more low-level than the SD card.

Have you tried downloading the drivers again?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

I don't think it's a driver issue, neither my Windows 7 box, nor my CR-48 (Chrome OS) see it as a device. If I had bad drivers it would say "unrecognized device", right? It's just allowing electricity, not data to go over the cable.

Have you tried a factory data reset? Heck, maybe just shut it off, remove the battery, put it back together, and hope for the best?

ok....here is what i did....power down,remove sim card and sd card...power up,plug into computer...it recognizes the phone....so it has to be the sd card i would assume...at least it worked on mine....try it,and let us know please?

I can but it says it does not affect firmware. As far as power cycling it like that? yes

Yeah, my bad. I saw that in the OP and forgot. What ROM are you running on it? Would it be worth your time to flash a different ROM to see if it makes a difference?
Could be a hardware issue & possibly unrelated to SOC. I'm not a hardware guy, though, so I'm not sure what tools you need/can create to test the USB port.

I am running Firmware 2.2.1, kernel 2.6.32.9, Build number FROYO.VUVKD1.
I can't even send it in for warranty because it's rooted.

I can only assume CWM isn't installed, eh? If not, then I had to admit I'm at a loss. I don't know hardware so I'm not sure what you would use or how you would use it to test the USB port.

Well, sorry my way didn't help...i tried for you buddy...

I probably can't give you a great explanation, but CWM is the ClockWork recovery Mod. It's a mo-better recovery mode for the phone.

Thanks to golmar88 for putting that together.

if you were to use superone click always use rage against the cage...
also if you have issues with your phone stick it in download mode and plug it into the pc if it was a rom issue your pc would pick it up as download mode is done by the bootloaders not the rom... if it sill not working eather a you have a faluty cable can happen b you do have messed up drivers c you have a debunk usb port... if you still have root access.. you can still instal a new rom just goto krylons cwm final thread use search kinda hard to miss its called KRYLONS CWM FINAL download the files stick them on your sd card ... eather downoad to yuour device directly or use a usb card reader..
oh and for odin to work right 99 percent of the time yuo gotta plug the usb cable into the PORT YOU INSTALLED THE DRIVERS ON

Well, I was able to get USB recognized ONCE, on my laptop that I use for the charging. So, it gets plugged in every day and got recognized once. Unable to reproduce.

I have the same issue, have you tried going settings>wireless and network > Usb utilities click connect storage to PC and then connect the usb cable?
mine says mtp connected but windows still doesn't recognize it

Im having the same.problem to...once i used super one click my computer won't recognize my phone...i have the same builds as you...and even tried to change my drivers...nothing worked...im stuck too...

USB port broken, unable to flash boot.bin

My phone died and requires me to flash boot.img in order to bring it back to Android. To my surprise, I couldn't get it to go, and after some testing it seems my USB port is having an issue where it won't connect data, but will charge. Both of my computers with seperate USB cords are stating that the USB device has malfunctioned. Does anyone know of a good solution? I know there are the pogo pins on the back, but I don't know if there is anything that connects to them or if they transfer data. Is my only option at this point looking for someone to do a USB port repair for me? Any ideas would be very welcomed. Thanks!

Not sure exactly what your problem is? Boot.bin? What exactly is that?

Where is it now if not Android? There are only certain instances that the computer will recognize it. Try a different computer as well (fresh install of HTC drivers).

You are trying to go into fastboot, right, and not just regular bootloader.

Tablet not detected when connected via usb at all

I connect my tablet to my two laptops, one is win 8.1 and the other osx, neither shows any sign of knowing the tablet is connected at all.
it does not prompt me to instal any drivers, i dont see it in device manager though i could be missing it. definitely doesnt show up in file explorer as a drive. have tried switching from mtp to ptp and back again. I have no dea. The same cable when connected to the charger works fine, but no sign of life on a computer.
I'm trying to root it and get CM10 on there but this is stopping me in my tracks.
edit: i also just tried an older windows xp computer, no luck their either.

Bad cable?
Turn in USB debugging in developer options?

Tried both that I own. And it charges fine. Also tried connection the keyboard dock and then the cable to that. Out of ideas.
USB debugging has been enabled and disabled multiple times. Multiple reboots. I'm going to try rolling back the firmware from .10 to .8

You don't need to root it to install a custom ROM, you need to unlock the bootloader.

Well its successfully unlocked. But I'm like 99% sure I need root for goo manager to install twrp. Or USB to work to install twrp via fastboot.... No?

I wouldn't start installing custom anything without working fastboot and adb access.
- Make sure the contacts of the connector and cable are clean.
- Do the equivalent of "lsusb" under OSX to check if the tablet is detected.
- Try different USB ports.

Have tried five ports accross three computers on three operating systems. Two usb cables, and the use of the dock should have bypassed any dirty connections. I can try Ubuntu live boot tomorrow if it comes to that.

Sent it off to get fixed, they verified they had the same problem, waited weeks for a replacement part, they replaced it and sent it back. And its doing the samn damn thing. So done with this tablet.

No, and I would think a factory reset which I've done multiple times would have undone that even if I had on accident some way.

How do you connect the tablet to the PC? Always through the dock USB?
Do you have the same problem when connecting the tablet directly? Undock it, use the original cable to connect to different USB ports.

You can find Samsung USB drivers here.
http://www.teamandroid.com/download-android-usb-drivers/
Alternatively, the drivers should automatically be installed when you install Smart Switch desktop app which you can get from Samsung's website.
Once the drivers are installed you should be and to plug in the phone and all should be OK.
I'd have thought that installing Kies would have fixed your issue so the above may not work but my fingers are crossed for you
