When plugging in USB to Phone, it only charges. - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Why is this? I installed all the drivers too. (My end goal is to root this, and if the USB port is broken, is there a way to root via an APK?)

Does your phone prompt to connect mass storage?

ROM? If your USB port was "broken" you wouldn't be able to charge. No way to root without USB. Possible data pin corruption. Seek further direction from the google.

Well, I hope it isn't something wrong with the USB port, I'm running Froyo (which I think is stock? I don't know, the phone was handed down to me.)

No, no it does not, it only charges. And I even changed it so that it has to prompt me to connect to mass storage. I also have to say that the usb cable is working, and I've tried 3 other computers.

Some cables only charge. Try a different one.

What cables are you buying? They all charge and transmit if they're micro usb. It could be a bad cable from the data pinout side or it could be a bad connection on the data pinouts from the phone side. Here's the photos

Either way you will never be able to buy a micro USB cord that doesn't have five strands.

It isn't the cable, I tried using the same cable to connect up to my Optimus T, and the device showed up in windows and on the phone as an option to connect as mass storage.

Well. Maybe the same thing happened to yours as mine. The usb connector broke off from the motherboard. But there's 7 contacts on the other side; +5V and GND have two each so it's possible to have broken just the tx or rx lines thereby leaving it incapable of talking but still able to charge.
I have exorcised the demons! This house is clear.
But seriously try wiggling it or bending it. If it works and/or finishes breaking it off you'll know for sure.

Dang, I really don't want to open my phone and check if it's broken. Hm. Is there another way to root the phone via an APK, or flashing an update.zip or something like that?

Not really. Better if you fix it. Sorry dude.

Even if there is (and I don't think so) that wouldn't be a good idea. If anything at all goes wrong or you aren't happy with what you would have done, there would be no way to go back to stock without the data port working (since the back to stock methods we have use Heimdall or Odin and require a computer). I just don't think it would be safe.

When I took mine apart it looked fine it's only when I actually looked under a microscope that I could see the cracks. Ok the microscope may have been overkill but definitely find a magnifying glass or some reading glasses.

ALL JIG VALUES here!

I've found the datasheet for the FSA9280 online today. So, now I can post about it.
http://www.mediafire.com/?d4e21efhuktctcb
This datasheet is valid for all GalaxyS and GalaxySII devices.
Ok... So, first off.. A JIG is the line on the FSA chip which leads to the processor. The JIG line is usually high. Any resistor which makes that line go LOW is a JIG resistor.
These are the JIG values. They are used on the usb port between pins 4(X or ID) and pin 5(ground).

Ok, so obviously the most interesting is the the factory mode boot on UART. Good stuff.
Didn't get much, but would be very happy if this helps in the development of devices/JIGs that would help in unbricking the dead devices. And this what is intended of all this, as I get it.
There's 32 bits. This is all resistor values.. All 5 bits are taken. 32 choices.
I graphed it out.

I just realized I missed both short and opened values... They set bits. Everything is taken. There cannot be any more. I updated the picture as well
thats really helpfull. thank you verry much!
I see there is an audio remote thing. Would it be possible to make an app in visual basic and use my sound card and a aux cable in the phone 3.5mm jack and send that into my phone?
Edit: there is also alot of commands on there with diffrent Ohms what do those commands do?
Great finding Adam!
I would like to prepare a rescue set for the SGS-2, from a JIG and a microSD. If I read your table correctly, the 301kOhm USB JIG forces the device to boot in "Factory mode 1".
Is there a description somewhere, what these modes mean? (my goal is to convince the device to look for the bootloader on the microSD)
Great resource!
Yes,
301k across pins 4 and 5 (If I recall correctly, 4 typically has no wire on in in a usb cable. It is not the shield wire.) if you carve enough insulation off a mini USB plug.
Take the battery out, wait a bit, put it in, and plug in the plug.
You have just accomplished the 3 button boot!
I was looking at a thread earlier today on the I9000 I believe:
"Fun with Resistors"

(Waiting for my Captivate to arrive)
I know, this is the background for the "resurrection" Jig-s sold on ebay.
Does anyone knows, what "factory mode 1" means for booting? Is it possible, to prepare a microSD to load the bootloader from there, in case the bootloader(s) on the phone are corrupt?

can you solve my problem with my ME600? it seems to be hard brick with no respond after press the power button.but i can feel vibrake when touch that three light sensor buttons.
great find !
seems to me, the datasheet does not talk much about the fact, that the jig also powers up the whole device. The Galaxy schematics are more lucid in that respect.

I think you may have fried your USB port. It's been known to happen with external devices. You're lucky you didn't end up with a completely bricked device.
I'd look into getting it replaced, swapping batteries, or wireless charging, but I'm pretty sure it's hardware related.

Your post sounded like nothing worked at all.
If charging works it still is likely broken. Data transfer and charging use different wires within the usb cable. I can't tell you for sure in this case, but to me it still sounds like it's hardware related.

Ok I retract my statement, I plugged my phone into his computer and it worked fine. And I plugged the flash drive into his phone and it also worked fine. But when I plug my phone into my computer (windows 8) it fails. Works on his windows 7 computer though. So can't be data connection. Were both also running cm 11 m3 4.4.2 build.

You can but the micro SD card is a much smaller attachment and come in capacities that are cheaper and higher than the flash drives.
Only thing I noticed when I used mine on the Nexus 6, if you left it in, it was a constant battery drain.
I originally got it to store 70GB of music on it. Every time I plugged the drive in, it would have to "scan for media" or something similar. The more storage/media, the longer it took. And when it was plugged in, you cant charge your phone (and wireless charging did not work either).

Good question. Id have to check if any allow simultaneous data + charge, use a usb a extension cable.
Besides my intention is having portable access to mass storage mainly for offline data access.. It works as a charging cable as well albeit a short one. Can be used to xfer from another device/ pc..

Free Level Speaker - Charging your device

Hey all,
Did anyone else receive their free Level wireless speaker yet? Mine came today
And you know what? It's alright! I'll definitely use it whilst firing up the BBQ or doing the washing up.
But, how the hell do you charge another device from it? Using the supplied micro to micro USB cable and the USB micro to USB type C adaptor does nothing. Even using the micro to micro into another device still doesn't work.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but there's nothing in the manual about it.
Cheers

I got mine yesterday too, and while it's a bit quiet, the fact you can take it to the pool or the shower, is a big plus. If they were £30 I might buy another to connect two haha.
I am not sure though that it's meant to charge other devices, I think those cables might be to charge the speaker?

If that's the only time it's happening the adapter is likely defective if it's clean.
Try clearing system cache and temporarily toggle off Developer options.
The only time I've ever had that happen on my N10+ was when a random raindrop fell straight into the C port Some quality drying time fixed it.

Make sure you have PC connectivity... otherwise you won't be happy. Try a OTG flashstick if you got one laying around... that's a start in the right direction.
Make sure the PC has the right drivers. Generally if SmartSwitch is loaded on the PC it will install the correct drivers... but never depend on SmartSwitch to backup critical data!!! It can fail you miserably and unpredictably.
Without an SD card regular, redundant critical data backups become even more mandatory.
While Androids rarely crash it can and will happen, often with little or no warning.
