phone won't connect to pc? - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

hello, I have a samsung galaxy blaze and a while ago i tried to root my phone but i was ignorant and tried to install a root for the wrong OS, and if it wasn't for your guys' help i probably would have had to gotten a new phone, so thank you again! Anyways today i tried to connect my phone to my PC and it used to work (like when i broke it before i did it throught the PC) but now it just charges it and NOTHING comes up. i re-installed the drivers twice and nothing. The reason I want to do that is i keep getting a low memory notice and I can't open my gallery. I deleted all my music off of it and most of the junk apps and I still can't open my gallery. I have a 16GB external SD card and I want to put all my pictures and music and apps on that but when I move my apps to the SD card it just fills up the USB storage. So my questions are how can i connect my phone to my PC again? it only charges it........How can I clean up my phone and put ALL my music on my SD card? I want to root it. right now everything is stock and its Android 4.4 and I'm thinking I want to root it so I can delete the bloatware and make it run faster. Thank you!
Edit: I have tried everything in the threads i found and nothing is working for connecting it my PC

Okay, I might have a solution .. but first, you say everything is "stock" then you turn around and say it's Android 4.4, I'm assuming you mean ICS?.

Are you able to enter download mode still?

Just push the part in the USB on the phone so that the smaller part becomes bigger. Wouldn't recommend this as my USB port broke after weeks of doing this. I replaced it and it works good.

[Q] Busted Phone Suggestions

So yesterday my phone fell from about OptiPlex height right onto the USB port with a cable plugged in. The plugged torqued a bit, and the result is that it won't connect to any computer, though it seems to charge fine.
I want to see if T-Mo will replace it, but I figure I should get Valhalla off it first. My questions are 2:
1) Is there a way to get it back to stock, including recovery, without USB?
2) Does T-Mo really check that I haven't rooted and ROM'ed the phone?
Does anybody have any experience like this to share?

Obtain a micro SD to SD converter
Place the micro SD into the converter, plug it into your computer
Open the SD and place the ROM zip onto the SD
Put the SD back into your phone
Boot to recovery, flash ROM from zip
Here is a stock zip i found for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062847
Also I know this isn't going to help too much, but I once "bricked" an optimus (I now know it wasn't bricked, but I was dumb n00b and deleted the launcher XD) and returned it within the 14day window... they never even asked a question...

Thanks for the link, I'll definitely grab that ROM.
However, how can I Odin it without a working USB? I can deal with any CWM ROMs, but I'd be returning the device without stock recovery and rooted. I am probably being overly paranoid, but I could get by using the phone without USB, just flashing whatever GB or, dare I say, ICS ROMs that our benevolent devs make available.
See my dilemma?
Wait, so is the problem your USB cable or the actual USB plug on your phone?
If it's the former, you could get any Micro USB cable. I found that my SGS4G can charge with the BlackBerry cables.

No, it's the latter. Sorry, in trying to brief I wasn't clear.
Ordinarily to return a phone I assume I would need to track down a stock image, Odin it, and then SuperOneClick unroot, if necessary. I would imagine both of those steps would require a working data connection via USB. Mine only charges, it now doesn't connect on three computers that used to mount it with no problem.
I can pull the MicrosSD or transfer via WiFi and load anything through CWM (ICBINB, Valhalla, KI*, KJ*...) and have been. But if I want to turn it over to T-Mo for a replacement, I imagine it has to look like I haven't rooted and ROMed it with every GB release that has seen the light of day the past 2 months. Even if I CWM a stock KB5 or KD1, I'll still have a warranty-violating Recovery and it will be rooted.

OK, I'll hold off on that then.
For what it's worth, T-Mobile pointed out that I had "weird" software on my phone, and said they couldn't help. I tried to say yes, but if I revert to stock what could you do? They didn't go for it.

Damn, that really sucks. You really shouldn't admit to rooting and flashing custom ROMs, since that already voids your warranty. Reverting back to stock doesn't legally unvoid your warranty, I believe.
Sorry, but I think you just might be SoL in this case.
If you have insurance, a crazy idea could be to purposely hard brick your device and say that your phone completely screwed up after you dropped it. You should probably get more suggestions about this idea first though.
Another less crazy idea would be for you to open up your phone and see if you can set it back in place properly.

Technically I didn't admit anything. She said "let me take it in back and try it on our computer". 5 minutes later she was showing me the About phone screen and calling me out for it. I'll try a different T-Mo store, and hope she didn't note my account.
Then my troubles got worse, but now are better.
I ended up hosing the whole thing. I couldn't get back to recovery - only download. Then I tried Odin, while jiggling the USB, and was able to get it to connect and accept KD1, but it failed halfway through. I kept monkeying with the USB and saw a little flash and then it powered off completely. Battery pull got it back to the failed firmware - try Kies prompt, but Odin could see it. Pushed KD1 again while not even breathing on the phone and it finished.
I now have a phone that looks stock. It definitely has a bad USB. I know a shop that replaced my Blackberry Curve's USB for about $70. That will be my next step if T-Mo marked my account with a scarlet letter.
Let's see how long I can stand stock
PS at least my WiFi works better than GB
PPS A different store arranged for a replacement for a $20 processing fee. It arrives Thursday.

Pc doesn't recognize infuse

Haven't seen this problem discussed yet.
My daughters stock infuse won't connect to pc, desktop or laptop.
Took it to service center and they did a factory reflash (not the same as factory reset). Still won't connect. Service center couldn't verify because they have, in their words, "dumb monitors". So, using the same cable, they connected with the, what, factory rom? But can't connect to either internal or external sd card. Tried leaving the card out, tried a different sd card. Unless someone has a solution I'll have to take the laptop in so they can see for themselves.

If they are able to flash or reflash, sounds like the hardware is intact. Sounded like you have used different computers already. Maybe your data cable is bad. Try a different micro USB data cable.
Make sure menu.settings.application. USB. Ask on connection.
Done all of that multiple times. My infuse had no problem connecting. Is there an update zip I can put on her sd card? Maybe a dumb question lol.

You might just have to do a warranty exchange.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
You need a USB connection. If you had it in dl mode, you can use Adam outler uckj4. You can put files on it with micro USB card or kies air.
It'll go in download mode. The phone senses it's connected. I can put it in mass storage mode and it says connected, but pc has no response. I'm thinking warranty exchange, also. Gotta get her off the seriously slow Froyo and onto Zeus with the pink and purple theme.

If you can get into dl mode, you can flash the 1click and defuse kernel for recovery.
defuse will not boot but will give you red recovery.
make sure you already have the rom you want on the phone by downloading or microsd or kies air on the phone..not the microsd
I'll give it a try

It will give you a thanks deny but stupid tapatalk doesn't always show up that you have thanked them until you reload the page. It has a lot of quirks, including a bunch of fc's but thankfully they aren't too often. Otherwise, I wouldn't be too happy. I like it much more than the XDA app, and the XDA wouldn't let me favorite threads and then open them on my a500 rendering it pointless. It would fc 99% of the time.
Good luck getting it to connect with mass storage mode. And in the rare case that you haven't tried this yet, try the Windows fix almost all. Shut down. Wait 10 seconds or a little more. Reboot. I used to call this the Windows fix ALL, until yesterday I realized that would be a complete restore of the whole operating system..

I'm not sure if you can root your phone from your phone.
But remember, using DL mode, and the 1click heimdall, you don't need root. Just flash away.
I'll do that next, thanks

Even in download mode the phone is not recognized. I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to go any further, unless there's an "update.zip" that will solve all my problems. lol

I don't think update.zip will work. The factory 3e recovery requires a signed official update.zip to flash.
In order to flash any other update.zip, you need a modded 3e recovery.
In order to do that, you need root or have a usb connection.
Neither of which is possible at this point.
Sounds like the phone needs to go back...
I'll let a you know the outcome, thanks, all.

[Q] Does flashing from custom ICS to stock GB wipe all internal memory?

Reason I'm asking is:
My Galaxy S had CWM and was running custom ICS and I dropped it and now the display is smashed and touch screen doesn't work. I have a new phone so am going to sell it.
I didn't have debugging activated so I rebooted in download mode and flashed it with a stock ROM using Heimdall.
I'm hoping this would have wiped entire internal memory contents including pics, ebay login, vnc sttings etc.
I think there would be nothing left to identify my on it but wanted to get conformation that it was "clean" of anything identifying me before I sell it.
Thanks
I dont know your phone but after a quick google search I see that it has a internal memory with optional SD card slot. So if its like my g2x then no it wont. When you flash a rom it only wipes the data, system, cache partitions. Not the left over partition(s) which house your user data thats been added per downloads and usb / bluetooth transfers and what not. That wont get touched and needs to be sorted. is the screen not viewable at all? like can read anything at all? I have a few tricks but it is contingent on what you can see or not see.....
No the screen is completely dead.
There was no SD card in the phone when I flashed it if that makes any difference.
Thanks

um just depends on the dev.. but if u look in the threads u may be able to get a rom that has that setting set on default... or ask a dev to compile a rom with the setting .. or just say eff it turn it on and drop it in a bucket of water.. lol maybe that wouldn't work since your trying to sell it.. hmmm kinda limited with no debugging and no ts...

I have a captivate, which is the AT&T version of the galaxy s. If you run Odin and put a stock rom on your phone you can completely wipe the phone, internal and all, using the master clear function. I'm sure Heimdall probably has a similar feature but I've only used Odin and know for sure that you can.

Phone not working!!!

I'm not sure if this is the right section or not, sorry if it's not, but my phone is really screwed up. I have the htc one S on T mobile that is running the viper one s rom on cwm 10 and will just go to a black screen after displaying the htc screen. I don't have any nandroid backups or copies of working roms either, so I can't boot from those. I did not have USB debugging checked before my phone became corrupt, so I'm pretty sure that ABD will not work, and whenever I try and plug my phone into the computer and access the flash boot menu, it will say that the USB is corrupt and it will not work. The cause of this is because I was messing with the build.prop, I accidentally deleted it, although I have a backup, there is no way if installing it in my phone's current state. It's getting to the point where I honestly don't care if I lose al of my stuff just as long as my phone will work again. Any knowledge shared on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Recovery and fastboot and that's about it.
Get a micro sdcard or if you have one already, get a micro sdcard reader, open case from back of your phone and take out the microsdcard.
Put it in the card reader. Copy the rom/image... put the card back in... boot in recovery... use the rom from sdcard to flash that rom.

[Q] How can I retrieve data from phone without working USB?

I have a long story. I tried to update my phone via Kies and it resulted in a soft bricked phone because (it turns out) the USB port on my phone is bad and disconnected halfway into the update. I have already received a warranty phone from AT&T and have to ship my old one back in 10 days. Is there ANY way to retrieve my photos and video from the old phone? Please see my other thread for a background of what we've done trying to fix this. Because my USB port is bad, I can't get into download mode reliably, and I can't get connected to the computer (Pluswhich the phone doesn't boot into android because of the 50% completed upgrade)
What can I do here? I have hundreds of photos and videos of my kids that I want to back up and I just don't know what I can do to get them back before I have to send this phone in.
Even if I could replace/repair the USB port on the phone, I'm still not able to boot into android to retrieve my stuff. Please help me figure out what to do.
Move all your stuff to a sdcard then move it to youe computer like that.

Like I said - I can't boot the phone. It's stuck in Download mode because of the botched upgrade. How can I move stuff to the SD card if I can't boot?
How is the phone's internal memory attached? Is it something that could be removed and mounted on my working phone in order to retrieve a backup?
I'd like to avoid soldering a new USB port on for fear of damaging the board and ruining the warranty.

I've got no idea what this is. I'm only familiar with USB flashing and Odin.

They won't be able to without the USB data pinouts working. OP you need to fix the USB port if you want that stuff back. Sorry but it's the only way.

So the question then is can I fix the USB port without voiding the warranty? I suppose if I tried and failed, I could always send the replacement S2 that they sent me back in order to avoid paying warranty fees.

It's the recovery still intact? Can you boot into recovery and use adb?

No data pinouts no ADB.

Does anyone in your area fix S2 phones? Surely someone could replace it pretty easily with the right tools and parts without voiding the warranty.

What kind of phone is it? If you are returning it, and you have the other phone already, why not try soldering? Or at least open it and see if you can find the spot the connection is damaged.
It's a skyrocket from ATT and I do think I'm going to have a look at it tomorrow. I've got the tools to fix it. I'd just need a new jack.
