I had my USB working properly till one day when all of a suddenly socket was broken. Don't know how it happend but USB socket was phisically damaged (plate with pins broken and pins hanging in the air without support). After puting the plug in it worked but only charging (I was suprised, that it worked at all). So I took it to nearest cell phone workshop and asked to replace micro USB socket in the phone. When they did it they informed me that it's charging but there is something wrong with data connection because phone is not recognised by any PC. Now it comes to my question. Phone, when connected to PC (several cables and PC's ) is displayed as "NOT RECOGNISED DEVICE" No matter if I connect it with SD card, without card, without battery, in working state or in fastboot. May it be USB brick which might be solved similar to HTC Desire solution ?
Sorry for typhos and grammar, English is not my native language.
I'd think that the physical damage has cut some contacts on the board.
You will have to live without USB connection

Hello suddenly my nexus s stopped connecting with data with the pc it only charges, tried with 3 diffrent computers with diffrent os , no menu popping on nexus and nothing connected on the computer(like i didnt connect anything), i removed the battery left it for some time installed stock rom still nothing.It was acting normally for a second and the other it stopped any help appreciated!
Are you sure you're using the cable that came with the phone? I have an LG Wink featurephone here that uses the same connector at the phone end -- its cable will charge my Nexus S (using the computer, obviously, but also when used with either the LG or Samsung charger) but no USB connection happens when I use it. Only the cable that came with my Nexus S provides a USB connection when I connect to the computer. I guess there are pinout differences between the two cables.
If you're sure you're using the right cable, I would guess that it's gone bad if it doesn't work on any computer. You can buy an (overpriced) replacement from Samsung or maybe a cheaper one on eBay or at a retail store. If the latter, be sure the seller lists it as compatible with the Nexus S.
it happened with the original cable ppfff i dont know...
same problem

Hi
I have the same problem
I have no idea what the problem could be.
We are not alone with this problem: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13553
Now installed stock rom as well but still the same problem.
If i starting the NS in the bootloader mode the phone is not recognized by the computer.
It would be great, if someone knows a solution!

I've been trying to get help with this for weeks. No one is even responding to my posts. I thought it was something OBSURDLY simple, such that people didn't even want to waste their time responding to me.
Seeing same problem, No connetion via USB
Posted problem in General,, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104245
Tried different cords, different computers and operating systems,, did cold start several times on phone (removed battery) still no luck, I am running totally stock
Curious do any of you have the Google Music Beta?? (maybe a over zealous rights thing?)
just tried it with a Win 7 machine that had never seen it before and it said it could not recognize the device,, me thinks that the MS device driver DB is messed up buy some recent Win update??
i sent it to samsung to change my usb slot because after connecting to pc and nothing happen when i went to charge the phone it took 5 hours to get to 30% so iam almost sure that mini usb slot malfunctions

My phone charges just fine. And my USB connectivity was fine until I manually installed 2.3.4.
~I had usb connection problems after upgrade to 2.3.4 a bit different but I managed to get the USB back by formatting the SD card.

I was on 2.3.3 when this happened, i tried to flash 2.3.4 then and again it didnt work but the strange thing is that when i was moving the mini usb the first times up and down it was shown for a moment as a broken usb device.Then this stopped and was not shown at all on the computer and finally the phone charged super slow when connected to electricity
Beginning to believe that it is a physical prob with USB connector on phone. It seems to start/stop charging when wiggling usb on phone but no mounting. Doe anyone know best way to resolve , T-mobile but bought from Best Buy? so to Best Buy? FOR SUPPORT /EXCHANGE? suggestions?
I've seen loose connections before. My suggestion ain't the cheapest but the plug, on the cable end, shouldn't wiggle. I went to a corporate sprint store, the ones that actually have working display phones, and got their usb to micro usb data cable. The thing with that cable is when you plug it in the phone side, it goes into the jack firmly. You can almost feel the little locking tabs click into place. There should be no play or wiggle with that cable as long as there's no damage or abuse with the jack on the phone. IMO, that's a good data cable. It's never given me problems before.
Also, sometimes the cable is only wired for charging. A true data cable will be wired correctly and be able to both charge and transfer data. Usually the cables that come with the phone are crap quality. I don't know if my suggestion will help but it won't hurt to have a good cable for data transfer and flashing. The last thing you want is a flaky connection from a cheap cable when you're flashing roms. Russian roulette with bricking a phone in a worse case situation.
Did you try reboot the computer and the phone? How about a different usb port? How about unplug any other usb device in case it's conflicting for some unknown reason? It sounds like so many people with windows 7 are having problems. Usually always happens with a new os that's released. Xp, for flashing devices and programming different hardware devices, has never given of a problem. I have a small partition with xp on it just for that purpose only.
off to Samsung for repair for me...
After time on phone with them and a factory reset belief is that the usb connector is defective. BTW Best Buy just hands off to Samsung 1-800 #
So Back to a barely functional G-1 for a while, glad I could find it!
So is Samsung or the carriers replacing or fixing units?
My USB data died shortly after 2.3.4 ota update.
Wifi FTP is fine for data transfer but I want USB debug to work...
Shame on google and Samsung, this bug has been around for months.
no shame on anyone...
I went through a factory reset with Samsung on phone that isolated the problem to what is apparently a loose usb connector, nothing to do with software... only hassle is sending it in for repair, as` mentioned problem needs to be dealt with Samsung customer service (not carrier or Best Buy), they were fine on phone...
Hi are there tutorials on repairing this at ease? When I plug in any USB HTC or Black Berry cable , on my phone it keeps showing disconnected then connected. Seems like the port is loose and I need a DIY on repairing this.
+1 i have the same problem, and a guide would be nice, i have search in 3 mounth now :/ and haven`t found a guide yet
same here, since yesterday :S
usb is very loose and even a very small movement unplugs it...
HD2 USB Ports are rubbish: loose/ Detached USB Ports
I've had two HD2s and both of them have ended up with detached USB ports. HTC's Customer Services invited me to return the HD2 and said that the repair would be carried out under warranty. I foolishly fell for their dirty trick and subsequently will have to pay £25 to have the broken phone returned to me or £215 to have it repaired.
hello ,
let start off by saying i liked this phone until i started having problems with it ..
so a few months ago i after the usb port not working as a (media device) with cm10.1 &10.2 for a year delt with it ... i have no mtp or ptp options not even upon plugging it in dose not even acknowledge it just beeps then windows 7 usb device not recognized until i re flashed jb 4.1 and it worked again windows 7 seen it as a media device and i was able to tether until a few days ago and it with no warning it will not let me see it kies dose nothing just says usb device not recognized and dose the same as it did with cm10.1 i have flashed and wiped a few times no change i would like to tether and get my files on and off my wife has the same phone no issues ..??? but what i don't understand how can it work well for a few months then not ..? can the mount points in the phone get corrupt ? seems like its just the phone because my wifes tethers just fine mine wont she is stock jb .. i have a rooted jb .. thats it can the usb port just fail .?
when i plug it in it just goes strait to charging on pc and beeps thats it .. tried different usb cords and computers the same thing
The USB port could be damaged or dirty. What happens if you plug the cable into the phone, apply gentle pressure on it towards the back of the phone (Or the front) and then plug it into the computer? Does it start to work so long as the cable is held? If so I would guess the USB port may have developed some bad solder joints.
yeah tried everything

it just charges but wont recognize anything sorta been like that since i first owned it .. its been spotty but now nothing at all .. thinking about replacing the usb port in the phone seen that egay sells em for 10 bucks .. i do have insurance on it still thinking about doing a replacement
Having a few issues with an s7, charge port has been replaced (twice as I sent one back thinking that was at fault), charges wirelessly ok but not wired, now I need the wired to connect to pc to restore the phone through Odin.
Any clues, starting to wonder if it's the main board at fault, any wireless methods for connecting and using Odin, phone has a tied account and the gmail acount it's tied to is not known hence needing wired connection to use Odin.
Tried many chargers and cables.
Thanks in advance
mmm i am not sure, but my s7 looks like having the same issue.
tryed to use different cables and restore factory settings. did not work.
so the only way is use external sd card
Currently facing the same issue, but i think i messed with my charging port quite a bit. Now, i can only charge my phone using wireless charging, and i can only transfer files using the external SD card. :/
Very Sad,,,,,, I still have not tried sending it in for repair as i fear that it wont be waterproof anymore. Dont want to risk it.

Do you have any idea about how to make root without cable? I have tried all the one click apps
mmm i wonder, may you tried to install supersu or anything like that trough the default recovery mode? and then install twrp with the app?
open the back cover look on the left under the board there is a connector that plugs in from the usb .
it plugs in from bottom up

Yep that plug just near the antenna and home button flex is firmly home.
Then the only thing I can think of , is hardware problem , you need to replace the USB pin.
( Did you try the old needle in the charging pin trick to remove any dirt inside )
Replaced the charge port flexes which include the usb header twice now.
You say you've tried many chargers and cables, but have you tried a new Genuine Samsung USB cable? I've seen many people on XDA having problems with cheap 3rd party cables when Genuine works fine
Hi Guys,
You may have seen me complaining about the op6 here before, but now it has become a paperweight.
It all starts when no computer I use recognizes the OP6 (USB device not recognized) anymore, this happened after I asked for technical assistance to change my usb input from him that was having problems. But so far so good, because I'm not much of a copy data from my cell phone to my computer via USB.
Then came the problem, it presents the CrashDumpMode error that we have seen a lot here in this forum regarding this device. And then, as my computers don't recognize my cell phone anymore, I can't use MSMDownload to make the system recovery and the cell phone back to normal. This is about 2 weeks ago
I opened my cell phone yesterday, to remove the flat from the usb input, and try to clean, clean contact, etc... Soon after I reassembled the entire cell with all the flats as they were before and the cell didn't even give any sign of life.
What do you think might have happened? Did his motherboard take its last breath and die for good?
Hugs
You may have damaged the connector contacts.

Which connector? From the usb port or battery?

Any you removed. They are easily damaged if misaligned. Best to use a very fine pair of tweezers and visual aid if needed. Pull and inspect for damage.
ESD protocols/procedures should be followed as well. The out of circuit subassemblies can be damaged by static electricity.
