[Q] is there a fix for this???

ive tried multiple times to fix this but it doesnt work. Last time i posted a thread here i said my phone was broken and i was not able to fix it because of the usb connection problem i had, so i talked to the company and they sent me a replacement but i still have the same usb connection problem, whenever i want to plug in the usb cable to my pc, the phone recognizes the connection but my pc doesn't. i talked to the company about this and they said ' Unfortunately, we don't have any information regarding this issue.", i do not know how to fix this. I've tried uninstalling the usb drivers and re installing them but nothing seems to work.
some of you suggested to try to take out the battery for 30secs open odin plug the usb in the phone hold vol up and down then slap the battery in while still holding keep holding it and if a com sign comes up in odin flash it even if screens blank, but it didn't work. i tried heimdell but it doesnt recognize my phone. if i cant use that, it means i cant root my phone and change the annoying tmobile boot animation. so pleaaaassee can you find a fix for this????, ohh by the way it didn't work when i put it in the download mode.

please
does anybody know how to fix it??? pleeeeeeeeeease

I'm assuming that you downloaded the 64 bit drivers? Try downloading the 32 bit ones. I read somewhere that it worked for some people.

or try installing kies and then plugging in the phone. go to install --> drivers in kies and let it install. then unplug the phone, restart the computer and try again

imusing the32 bit drivers

it didnt work, im going to have to buy another cablee to see if thats the problem,thanks for being so helpful jager555

Also, don't forget to try to hook up the phone to another computer.

ive tried this in 3 different computers

Are you trying to odin or just transfer files to sd?

If it's not the computer or the cable it's the phone. You've narrowed it down. Send it in for warranty?
The phone should work as mass storage with no drivers whatsoever. Pretty much any modern OS out right now will be able to recognize the phone with the drivers it come with and let you access the SD card of the phone, so yes, looks like the phone's the problem.

hmmmmm
i believe its the cable. Im going to try to get a new one and see if it works, cuz the phone i got right now its a replacement that they sent me from the company, so its new and i dont think its the phones problem.And yes im trying to odin.

Can you take format the sd card from ths phone (make sure to back up all the important stuff.) Then take off the phone. Use the computer to put a different rom on the root. Flash the rom using cwm. Let the phone sit to build the cache. While it is building, uninstall the current drivers. Reboot. Then reinstall using the drivers from the bible. Put the phone in download mode and plug the usb into a different port. Lol, but try this after you get the new usb cable.

[Fixed] HELP: phone will not go into download, recovery, or boot up :\

I'm going to be honest. I flashed the wrong .zip file on my Infuse (just swapped SD cards over from my SGSi9000)...
... and well, it did not end well. I cannot boot up, go into recovery or download. ADB does not recognize the device, and I cannot use the Ultimate Unbrick.
I need help recovering it. :\
Thanks. I'm stupid.

Did you: Remove battery, replace battery, then while holding 'Both' volume buttons plug in the USB cable that is attached to you computer?
Did your computer recognize your phone before? If not install samsung usb drivers. If so, try a different usb cable.

Been there done that. But when it happened to me I had an image of a phone being connected to the pc instead of the samsung splash screen. But other than that there was no recovery download or boot. So I just did ultimate unbrick and it somehow saved me...

Ok! Changed USB cables to the one I'm guessing came with the phone (lol; I need to separate my SGS stuff). Both made by Samsung so I didn't think it would make a difference....
So I'm in download mode; however, the device is not recognized by Odin for Ultimate Unbrick.
Looked up that the best way to completely get all the drivers is to install Kies?
AH!!! Rejoice! My phone has been resurrected.
Thanks for the responses

[Q] No USB detection on Samsung Infuse

HI all,
So yes I have already tried to google, and look through other posts but cant find anything that is my particular situation, heres what happened, Infuse was running on ZEUS 6.1 perfectly, I decided to install ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB3[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned, I followed all the instructions, installed ROM, disabled VooDoo lagfix and then the stock kernal, after that the phone just didnt come back to life, the result is currently on the SAMSUNG logo, I can go into recovery just download mode but my USB is not detected either, when I install the drivers it doesnt do anything, tried KIES and other drivers from SAMSUNG, also removed USB ports, restarted, and tried other pc's and laptops and same USB error, even tried on linux, no luck, can anyone please help, I love this phone and the ROM, I have no idea why I attempted to do this but need help.
Thanks all[/FONT]

This happened to me lately but I was on stock froyo. Seems like my usb cable was for charging only. When I bought one that said it was for charging and data, the Infuse was recognized instantly. I am a noob here, but hope this is all of your problem.

Yep, thats what I'm starting to wonder, if its the cable, I am using the microUSB cable that came with the phone from SAMSUNG, never was an issue before, would connect and trasnfer data without a problem, also tried a few blackberry cables no luck, the crazy part is I cant even go to recovery mode, it only goes to download mode, wondering if I can copy some files to the SDcard to boot off with.

If you try everything and it does not work, contact me I know a guy you can send it to for it to be unbricked. When he unbricked mine, he noticed the usb controller somehow glitched and can never be fixed, resulting in a whole new device needed (he tried replacing the usb hub, did no good). Thats what happened to me, make sure to try everything first though.

So after trying a dozen cables, nothing seems to work, I should have known this when the OS was still on ZEUS and I attempted to connect via USB which I received USB not recognized message, I have tried the same SAMSUNG cable for a blackberry and it installs perfectly, so its not the cable, my understanding the USB port on the Infuse is bad, is there a way to boot into recovery of an SDcard so that I can install ZEUS back? I only have "download" mode working, recovery for some reason does not come-up, I am really trying to avoid throwing this phone in the garbage, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Clarification?
You can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see the phone? I don't think you have said anything about trying to do anything to the phone in download mode.

That's exactly it, I can get into download mode just fine, once I connect to pc I get USB device unrecognized, although the drivers are installed, so the crazy thing is I have been on here since the days of Infused downloading and updating ROMS back and forth, never posted anything, even when I had an issue back when, I was able to go into recovery and do what I need to do to bring it back to life, almost felt like an expert given the amazing advice here, never had an issue till now, please help.

I had accidentally set my Infuse in an "almost" empty cup, not realizing that there was still about an inch of lemonade at the bottom. This unfortunatley screwed my USB recognigtion to my computer. It can charge, but is no longer capable of transferring files via USB. There is, however, Kies Air. This has been such a lifesaver!!! You can transfer files to and from your phone, and I have transferred Zeus and Aeon to my SD card through Kies Air. I installed Aeon on my phone no problem and it is working flawlessly You only need to download the Kies Air app to your phone. No special drivers, apps, or software is needed for your computer. If anyone has any questions on how to do this, you can PM me or just post on here.

Doesn't help much when he is only able to go to download mode, or sick at Samsung screen. I was having a similar issue. Odin was not recognizing my device but heimdall 1 click worked like a charm. Give that a shot, let me know how that works out for you.

im having exact same problem...
i got it connected to my friends laptop and i flashed infusion kernel 1.0 through odin.. it failed..
and now i can't even get to download mode.. it only shows pc!computer image/..

I have had this problem a lot too. I believe that the problem is with the cable from Samsung. It's crap. Just by chance I noticed that my friend's Kindle cable had the same usb plug. I tried that and it hasn't disconnected once.

[q] i need help!!

Alright, my phone is currently soft-bricked and i have had a lot of experiences in unbricking the phone. However, this time..i could not unbrick my phone
so what happened was. yesterday night i did nandroid backup of miui rom, and flashed a different rom, i didn't like the new rom so i was gonna do the nandroid restore to go back to miui. after restoring i rebooted the phone and it gets stuck on samsung logo bootloop.
So, as i always do, i went to my computer, got my phone into download mode, and flashed infusion1.0 kernel through odin so that i would get the cwm back. and it failed. so i took the battery out and did the volume down+up+usb combo to get to download mode, but this time it went to {phone (exclamation!) computer} and odin does not recognize the device anymore..
tried reinstalling drivers and everything..still no hope..i have also tried this on a diff computer but it didn't work either. my computer makes the sound thing when the phone is connected to it.. but phone does not show up in odin.
i think my phones hard bricked now.. what do u guy think?

Same thing happened to me...so I grabbed my wife's laptop installed drivers and Odin and it worked...make sure to try different USB cables and try also try different computers..Odin still won't recognize my phone on my laptop. But it works every time with the wifes

For me its great. Lol when i actually used my ipod in my battery case i would use the sammy cable to backup my ipod to the computer.

bricked (here we go)

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?

Calm down you will have to buy or use another USB a Samsung USB is preferred and try a different program I always had trouble using hemidall look up stock one click its a Java app
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

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

Be sure to follow them exactly how they are written. lumin has a guide on how to remove your drivers that is probably what is causing your problems is a wonked out driver.

It kind of sounds to me like your drivers are borked. I would recommend uninstalling all drivers, reboot and then install the drivers included with the heimdall one-click.

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.
