Hey
i've been trying to find a custom rom that i can install onto my completely stock sgs2 lte without connecting to pc and flashing with odim. My phone is apparently defected and cannot connect to pc, trying to install custom rom might fix the issue. the phone is completely stock, not even rooted.
can someone direct a link to that rom?
thanksks!
the only way as far as I know is to hook it up to PC. Mine did the same thing. Wouldn't register on a PC. I tried various cables until I found one that would work. That's the best advice I can give you.

Try different USB Ports and different cables or another computer.

If your rom version support the zerg rush rooting method you can do it, install cwm and flash a rom from there.
I never had to flash anything using odin, tried using odin only once and even then I dont think it recognized my phone due to bad kies drivers(which I have fixed by now).
you do have the correct drivers installed right? More info in your first post would be an advantage to those trying to help

Also like the last guy I just thought about it could be your kies installed **** drivers, happened to me the first time, couldn't connect the phone to the pc but it worked great on the mac try completely uninstalling kies and the usb drivers and installing them from scratch.

Download wifi file transfer peo and start loading up the phone without ever connecting it. I've never had to connect the phone to the pc ever since I stated using that app.
Everything is mobile Odin or CWM now right off the sd card and wifi for data.

i've tried that but never tested on mac because i dunno anyone that has a mac nearby lol.
i have contacted samsung, they said its defected so send it in for repairs, since i dont have warranty they'd charge me up the ass. Its funny because they asked me why do i need to plug to pc, i simply said music, photo... shoulda been like TO MOD YOUR ****.
more or less, i have last resort to sell it on kijiji and buy another same model off kijiji, hoping its not defected. the sgs2 is a sweet phone, real talk lol

Hi, I want some help with this same issue. I'm not sure what forum etiquette is here, whether you guys prefer a bump of an old thread or that I just start a new one??
Anyway my phone is wigging out so I wanted to wipe and flash but I can't figure out how to do this since no PC/cord combo will recognize my phone, though it still charges. I wanted to use ROM Manager to flash OTA, but I can't since I can't figure out how to get cwm installed ota. I've been digging around the forum and googling for a couple days now to no avail.
Version - 2.3.5
Baseband - I727UCKJ2
Kernel - 2.6.35.11
It was rooted but I never flashed any roms. It randomly shuts itself off and upon a battery pull will get stuck in Odin dl mode? If i do a batt pull after that it will go straight back to Odin dl mode or it get's stuck in a vibration loop. Sometimes if I plug it in it will start up with a dead battery though?
Any ideas?
Should I just make a new thread on this??
clean the usb port on the phone, then the usb shall connect, i had the same prob its fixed now
Install Odin and see if it "sees" the phone in d/l mode.

I generally don't root my phones but I needed to increase the size of my SD cache so I rooted it.
I have read the threads on what to do if you have rooted and installed a new rom but I only did a portion of this process.
To root the phone, I followed the guide on this forum and completed the following:
Enabled USB Debugging and Unknown Sources (Phone)
Double-clicked "RootDebugfs" on PC with phone connected to computer using OEM USB cable. It ran to completion.
Installed - ez_unlock.apk and rom_manager.apk
At this point SuperUser was supposed to install but it didn't. I downloaded and installed Superuser, updated the Superuser binaries, and I was rooted. I confirmed this with Root Checker.
I never unlocked the phone with Ez-Unlocker
I never used Rom-Manager either.
I did install SD Speed Increase and increased the SD cache size from 128kb to 1024 kb.
Now there is a Verizon update that I should probably get. In the near future I will need to update to Jelly Bean.
What do I need to do to install these Verizon updates?
If you're rooted, stock recovery and not unlocked you can take any OTA but it will break root. But as far as I've seen you can root again.
If you're unlocked with custom recovery you need to flash back to full locked stock and stock recovery to accept OTA.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
As long as u have stock recovery then just take the ota and re root. If u don't have stock recovery the gym flash it with ez recovery app. That's how I updated my phone this morning
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
You could also just wait until someone creates a flashable zip and flash through CWM or TWRP.
Thank you for the replies.
I did not change anything regarding recovery. I only did whats indicated in my initial post.
If I do the OTA update will I just root again using the same process I did initially?
If so, is that just "double-click "RootDebugfs" on PC with phone connected to computer using OEM USB cable and run it to completion."?
I appreciate the support provided and appreciate all responses.

Just be aware that it's not unheard of for the root exploit to get blocked in the new OTA. It doesn't sound like that has happened here, but just FYI. That's part of why the common mantra is to just wait for someone to post a rooted version of the stock rom... or go with a custom rom (shout out to CleanRom here).

Hi I was just posting to see if anyone can help me with this problem that im having. Im trying to root my infuse but when i check usb debugging its checks next to it, but when i connect my usb the usb debugging notification is not showing i tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing is working someone plz help me.
Are you on froyo or GB ?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Have you tried connecting your phone to the computer and running adb? If you just type adb devices, if your phone is connected it should show up.
Also, don't enable debugging when the sun cable is connected to your phone. Not saying you did, just thought it worth mentioning.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Oh yes sorry I'm currently on gb 2.3.6 infuse 4g AT&T
And no i havent im not sure what Adb is ha.
To root your phone from GB you need to install the Samsung provided drivers for the Infuse on your PC. You then need a Heimdall or Odin kernel package with cwm which you flash to your phone after booting it in download mode. You then flash a rooted ROM or root package from cwm recovery mode, after copying the package to your internal sd card. You can then flash whatever kernel you want.
The specific details behind this general process can be found in threads linked in the infuse super everything thread... See link in my sig below. Read up and do your research before attempting. Make a full backup of your phone too.

Ok thank you I did install a rooted rom with odin. Very much appreciated just two more question when installing a custom rom where do I put the rom file? And when I installed rom manager then I clicked a download rom it asked me to download something first I clicked install and then it asked me to verify my device it only had 3 options. Samsung nexus I think and some other ones I know my phone was not that model the only one that was close to mine was i900 I think or i9000 and mines an i977 I have a Samsung infuse for AT&T 2.3.6 gb should there be any problems or what do you suggest?
Custom ROM should be copied to your internal sdcard, then installed from cwm recovery. Make sure to backup your apps prior to this.. Titanium backup pro is a good choice. Do the necessary wipes before flashing. Read the OP (first post) of the rom for instructions.
Stay away from rom manager.

Ok thanks for all the help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (SGH-I727 / AT&T) that I cannot get to connect to a PC after weeks of trying. I have tried to read through hundreds of threads regarding this issue and it seems others have had similar issues but nothing quite like this.
When I connect my phone to a PC, it does charge but Windows XP or Windows 7 will not recognize the phone. Anytime it is connected an error pops up stating "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."
So to clarify, I have tried the following suggestions from others to troubleshoot and try to narrow down the issue:
1.) I have tried 4 separate USB cables, including the original OEM Samsung brand data cable that came with the phone.
2.) I have tried 3 separate PC's (2 with Windows 7, 1 with Windows XP).
3.) I have installed Samsung Kies on all 3 PCs, uninstalled and reinstalled the program as well as the Samsung Drivers on multiple occasions.
4.) I have done a factory/data reset on the phone twice to see if this was an issue caused by other apps I've downloaded in the past.
5.) I have tried to use USB Debugging/Developer option and then connect the phone to no avail.
6.) I have tried USB Mass Storage option before connecting the phone.
7.) I have tried to connect the phone to a PC in Samsung's default recovery mode and still showed it was not a recognizable device.
8.) I have tried a friend's galaxy S3 on all cables and PC's mentioned above and Kies immediately recognizes her phone.
9.) I have attempted to clean the physical microusb port with a small brush to make sure the contacts were clean and not being blocked by something.
10.)I have done a battery pull and about 20+ phone resets for all above mentioned attempts.
Based on all of these attempts without any success, it seems to me that this being a PHONE hardware issue is highly probable. I've ruled out just about every other scenario and I'm wondering at this point if my phone's Micro USB port is fried somehow.
Has anyone heard of this or is this a reasonable possibility?
I have tried just about everything I can so far, if anyone has any other suggestions or has any information that may confirm my suspicion, please let me know.
This all came about in the past week due to Jelly Bean being finally released by AT&T / Samsung for the Skyrocket and unfortunately, this update only seems to be available via Kies and a direct data cable to a PC. I have tried to go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check for Updates (while connected to Wifi with a full battery) and the phone has told me 3 times over the past 3 days that my current Ice Cream Sandwich v4.0.4 Android is the most current software up to date. I'm guessing they're not planning on releasing Jelly Bean to the Skyrocket via OTA air updates....so now I'm stuck.

Well after getting into the details on the post, it looks like this is created for a phone that already has a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP installed. Since I do not have a USB port to use on this phone as of right now, is there any way to install a custom recovery on my phone without using USB?
I did download the stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean firmware directly on the phone's default directory already and it's sitting there in a zip format. If I'm not able to root and/or install a custom recovery without using a USB cable, would it be possible to install the stock firmware using the default samsung recovery mode?

It wouldn't work. Nothing will install in Android System Recovery <3e>. Everything I tried still came back with Signature Verification Failed.
I also tried lifting the "tongue" inside the usb port on the phone several times previously and that didn't work either. I must assume at this point the usb daughterboard or something inside is messed up.
Since stock recovery can't install any type of files and I can't connect the phone to a PC in any way and my phone is 100% stock without root or any custom recovery, I can only imagine I'm stuck in this situation. I have yet to see any solutions for getting root or installing CWM without having a USB connection that works. Unless I can do either of those things, it looks like I'm SOL for updating from ICS to JB.
If they had only made Jelly Bean an Over the Air update, none of this would be a problem really.

So .... lesson learned here is that you CANNOT root a phone or install any custom recoveries such as CWM or TWRP without having a working USB connection. As a result, you CANNOT install any updates, stock firmwares and especially custom roms without the above.
Only option at this point is to order the replacement part for the USB port on the phone or to purchase a new phone (if it's outside of the warranty period).

No you need USB to root that's it technically. If you have root you can install a recovery IMG without a computer using a terminal emulator and dd commands.

Phone: TMobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze T769
Hello, I'm new to the process of rooting phones. This is my dilemma... The USB port on my old phone would not work, so I had to receive a new phone (same model). The problem is my app data cannot be transferred over using the same SD card, memory card, and battery. My only option is to root my old phone, but I have had no success... I downloaded Framaroot 1.9.0, as well as some earlier versions, but when I tried to install SuperSU, I would get the message "Error #5, try another exploit if available." Gandalf is the only exploit option that I have. Am I doomed to not being able to root my phone, or is there something I can do?
Hey,
have you tried to flash a rooted kernel with odin? Just enter "S Blaze T769 root" in Google.

Hi, thanks for the info. I downloaded Odin, but I got a message saying "application not available" when trying to open it on my phone.
You have to use odin through the computer to flash cwm and to get root as far as I know for this phone..but as you stated the USB port on the phone doesn't work so trying use Odin won't do any good at this point..
Sorry I couldn't be of more help

It's also very risky as you don't have a means of recovering through usb.

I wouldn't root because Samsung looks at if the device has been rooted in the past and you can't restore stock with Odin so... I don't think you could root get your data and then restore the defective blaze back to stock with a working USB
