usb still not working

had anyone having problems connecting their phones to their pcs ever find a fix?
my phone still won't get recognized by my laptop. not to sure why. it hasn't been able to recognize it since i flashed to gb. my wife has the same phone stock and the laptop sees hers fine.
things I've tried:
reinstall drivers
restarts
kies
different rom
different laptop
different cables
download mode
factory resets
debug mode and ask on connection
deleting the usbs from device manager
like i say my wifes phone can get recognized by my laptop. i think the bootloaders for gb has something to do with this problem but that's just me thinking.
i get an unknown device error in device manager. also when i was installing the drivers and
hooked up the phone it seemed to fail on CSc and adb our something can't really remember

In what way are you trying to get your device recognized? Mass storage or download mode?

See if your computer will read just the sd card.

Heimdall runs on different drivers than kies or Odin. Uninstall kies and Odin then install heimdall and the drivers.

Your computer sees your device it just doesn't know what it is. I thinks this is because Odin jacked up your device drivers. many people have this issue and can resolve it by reinstalling the drivers combined with a different version of Odin. Did I mention Odin is unstable? Lol.

use the kj6 with beta 2d kernel one click. The kernel is still beta but it's stable and has voodoo cwm.
If you have trouble installing drivers try using your other stock device for driver installation.

Question about reverting back to stock

Hey everyone I'm currently rooted and running cm7 and everything runs amazingly....only issue now is that my USB port only charges my phone and doesn't sync data.
So my question is...what are my options? Is it possible to download the stock program on my SD card and maybe use mobile Odin or anything?
Any ideas will help....I want to re-flash more roms but feel I should have clean flashes by going back to stock.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not saying the port isn't bad...but this is a common problem in the forum...like I said I still have this problem with my laptop...so when I use Odin I have to use the wife's laptop. Exhaust all possibilities before giving up

Flash stock rim without computer?

Is there any way to flash stock rom without the use if Odin? Computer won't recognize phone and I have to send iT back for warranty after trying everything I can think of.

Can you get to d/l mode or recovery mode?

It's not clear what state your phone is in but if you can boot and have root mobile odin should work.

You can try to flash the below official ICS Stock roms via CWM, then try to reconnect with PC to flash via ODIN for complete stock.

Do you have the necessary drivers installed on the pc? Try installing Kies on the pc. It will install the proper drivers for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Yes i have installed keis i even downloaded the drivers straight from the Samsung website too. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer(any computer) it says usb not recognized/malfunction. I have read many threads about how to fix this but none have worked for me. Im thinking about returning this phone because its still under warranty but its rooted.

Bummer.....You've cleaned the USB connector, tried a different cord, make sure the port on the PC is working, enabled the USB connection on the phone?

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

Hmm...pick a free one. can't hurt. BTW it doesn't have anything to do with your virus checker does it?

Disable your virus protection. You sure you have your phone in download mode? Can your phone reach download mode?

Anyone know how to fix the sdcard security issue?

Ever since I upgraded from cm10 to the jellywiz rom I have been getting "Cannot access external sdcard for security reasons." I paraphrased because I can't remember the exact wording. Anyways anyone know why that is or if there is a workaround for it? I have tried multiple ROMs and even changed the kernel but it didn't work. I wanted to try to go back to ICS then back to another jellybean build but I am not sure how to do that. I hear it has bricked a lot of phones. Has anyone had this same issue and somehow fixed it? I miss my music.

Sounds like you figured it out. Now have you tried formatting the card to see if it can be saved. Obviously after you back everything up, since your computer reads it.

What size is the sd Card

[Q] G2x Bricked

I have read lots of post, but could not find any post related to my issue.
After flashing different ROMs and Kernels my G2x wont boot into any ROM.
I have tried "volume up and down", it wont recognize USB.
Only way I know phone is working is that it turns on and boots only into clockworkmode recovery.
Please let me know if you know any fixes for this issue.

It kinda sounds like u may of flashed the kernel. I flashed a ics kernel by mistake on a cm7 rom and it did what you described. I used a process called nvflash.

How did you do NV flash I am not able to connect to pc? Is it possible to run the zip from clockworkmod?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2

Hey man, could you give us a little more information so we could try to figure out what is causing the issue? First off, did you originally install CWM with NvFlash?
Secondly, what was the latest setup (rom, kernel, gapps, tweak/mods, etc) that you flashed and in what order? Did you accidentally format or delete something you shouldn't have? Do you have the proper drivers installed for the phone to be recognized by your PC? Since you're able to get into CWM, try doing a full wipe and reflashing rom, kernel and gapps. Make sure sure to do a full data factory/reset, wipe both caches, format /system under mounts and storage, and try fixing permissions after flashing.

I believe I had Richie MIUI rom first with Mazout360 gb kernel then then I switched to different kernel. Phone wasn't doing well with any of those kernels so I went into recovery, wiped and flashed different rom. After which my phone didn't boot and was going straight into recovery. I wiped mount data/all of them; mount and unmount /all; used volk nulifier ; used scrub. I did all of that because I was not able to use USB / power volume up and down don't work neither. I don't know what else to do.

Try using a different USB cable and then flash ROM for recovery.
