Having trouble connecting to PC ( tried 3 differnt USB driver)

Update:
Stock update.zip needed!!
or, does those mod update.zip helps too ?
I've had trouble connecting this SGS4G to my PC.
I got it used, the previous owner fomated the SD card.
Is there any files comes with the stock SD card that affects the connection?
I tried hard and soft reset, still the PC said can't recognize it.
I even hand pick the USB driver in update driver option.
It says "Device cannot start (code 10)" something like that
Any advise will be appreicated!

Look for drivers only maybe different bit than your pc
Try just the sd.card in your.computer

Did you install the drivers found on the "how to root galaxy s4g and deleting fota files" thread in the development forum?

One thing you might try, if you haven't yet is a different (original) usb cable. I had this problem and realized I was using a moto usb cable. Just a thought.

+2 I had this issue before.

Thankyou for all the answers, I've used 3 different drivers, 1 from Kies, 1 from that Noob root guide, and one from somewhere i forgot.
I also used 3 different micro usb cable, HTC, MOTO, and samsung.
I went to Tmobile, plug in one of their sgs4g in my laptop, works perfectly, so not my laptop and not my cable.
Then i tested, my phone is not rooted yet with root checker, when I install superuser, it gave me an error msg saying that su binary file has a problem, It disappear before i write it down. and it said it copied that su binary on my sd card and tell me to reboot into recovery mode and install it.
I dont know how, and i guess that means a hard reset? I used that vol up+down and power buttom.Then I clicked reinstall packages, big discovery!
I found out that "E;/fail to open.mnt/internal_d/update.zip(No such file or direstory)
Man.... somehow that update.zip isn't there!!!
Anyone could point me to a place to download it? or simple upload me or send one to me email [email protected]
Again thank you for all the comments!

Have you installed the driver's from Samsung yet?
Additionally, when you plug the USB cord in, what happens on your phone? Do icon's show up, up top? Nothing happens?
Have you tried to go into Settings>Applications>Development and made sure USB Debugging is on?
Now if you have tried a standard SGS4G from the TMO Store on your laptop and it worked, you might have gotten a bad deal buying that one used. Something might be jacked up on it.
Additionally, if it's unmodified which it sounds like it is,
Just go to Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.
That will put you back to the original state.

No icon show up.
Something is missing from the phone, i did the factory reset both soft and reinstall package in Recovery/ delete all user data, still no help.
When i use root checker, it tells me there is no su binary in system/bin
Superuser created one for me to the SD card, but es file explorer wont copy it into system/bin for me, and in recovery mode, it just say no update.zip exist in internal SD

I'm not sure what would have been deleted off the phone to prevent the USB from working on your computer. Either way, you're kinda out of luck if it won't even connect to the computer.
Only other solution would be to download the stock ROM in the form of update.zip from your phones web browser, save to SD, then reboot into recovery and choose the second option.
The reason why update.zip is missing is because you haven't put it on your SD card. You typically download any zipped ROM, rename it to update.zip and then put it in the root of your SD.
Since you can't connect to the computer you'd have to download from a browser.

Very usefull Info!!
I'm downloading that Stock DEODEXED KC1 now. But it's in Mc5
So, i just zip it right?
Luckily I could still take the sd card out and use a card reader to load stuff on it.
Mainly i want the connection to the pc for rooting.
Moreover, the Root checker says i already have Busybox installed, does it mean, the previous owner might have tried to or did rooted, but unroot it ?

That one doesnt work, so I tried another one which it states its completely stock (T959VUVKC1-REV00-ALL-low-CL933594.tar)
But still both turns out "E: signature verification failed"
any idea?

[Q] SDCard Will not mount on computer

My sdcard shows up that its working on my phone but i cant get into my sdcard from my computer. adb says there is no device..i am trying to push a couple of .zips and apk's to install but it wont allow me to this because my phone doesnt show up. Any solutions?

Did you install the LG drivers?

yes, my lg drivers are installed. i was able to push apps just last week. idk what happend.

When I plug my phone into the computer it actually shows up as two separate removable discs. The SD card is removable E and the phone is removable F. Hope this helps.

Make sure USB debugging is enabled. For whatever reason, on both android phones I've owned, my computer could only pick up sd cards with it enabled.
Second thought, if you're using a custom kernel, sometimes it can break USB. I remember morfic's kernel broke it back when I used Bionix 2

I had this problem a few days ago after I flashed the Trigger 2.3.4 gb rom coming from Ultimate 2.2 froyo rom..When I'd plug in my usb and try to mount the SD cards the phone would say the cards are mounted (even the icons for apps installed on the sd would go generic as if they were mounted) but the drives wouldn't show up on my pc for some reason. I never had that problem before so it drove me nuts until I finally got it resolved but for me it was multiple problems..Like the guy before me said always make sure usb debugging is turned on and this may or may not apply to you but if turning on usb debugging doesn't fix it get the LG update tool and install the drivers from inside there because they are the most current ones..I thought mine were the most current because I even redownloaded the drivers on LG's support site but those aren't the most current ones. Anyway hope this helps someone avoid the nightmare I went through!

Problem with ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4 (USB Not Recognnized)

I wiped and cleared everything (cache, SD Card...) from the settings in order to install the new Ice Cream rom which I got working but then wanted to clean everything up. So obviously after doing the formats, it also wiped the zip (icecream). I can access clock work recovery, but it doesn't recognize my USB at all, same machine and cable is fine. I am trying to do it as a USB Mass Storage device but still it cannot recognize it. Any help would me much appreciated.

I'm not sure if you mean SD storage and not USB but you should have never formatted your SD storage.
In clockworkmod recovery there is an option to mount the SD storage. Make sure its mounted and then try activating the USB storage again. This should give you the ability to add a ROM zip file on the SD storage so you can flash it.

Thanks for the reply. Basically I am in clockwork recovery mode, I mount the SDCARD, then I go and select the option "mount USB storage". Sometimes I find that it finds Android 1.0 and I see the I: come up but then goes away quite quickly. But most of the time it comes up as unrecognized.
Now I have 2 cables, both which charge the phone fine. I have used one on a BlackBerry and remember it does the job of connecting as a data connection fine. Also have tried my XP laptop, same result.
My feeling is that it may possibly be the actual USB port on the phone that is the problem but I am unsure in this. It never failed to connect when the phone was working properly (in an actual OS).

You should update your CWM... 5.0.2.0 is the latest version.
But anyway, you don't need to mount SD card then mount USB storage. Only need to do the latest. Once you do this, unplug and replug the phone, the drive should pop up.

When I go into clock work recovery it says USB device Unrecognized. Problem is I don't have anything on the SD I have the ROM on my computer. Whether I go to the mount USB storage menu or not. Unsure what to do?

I imagine you don't have a working adb setup on your computer to update CWM, right?
Boot into CWM with phone plugged in. Go to mount USB storage. If your "SD" isn't recognized, still on that screen, unplug and replug phone. It should get detected then.

Tried this several times keep getting Unknown Device. I installed the SDK with Google Drivers. Unsure if that is the ADB set up.

Yes that's the adb setup.
You might need to manually install the drivers for your phone, although this shouldn't impact on the SD mounting capabilities. Just to make sure, I would get a working adb setup and use fastboot to update your Clockworkmod Recovery to 5.0.2.0.
You can follow this to know how to use fastboot
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot#Flash_Custom_Recovery.img
If you have trouble getting your phone to be detected and the drivers installed, I suggest you use PDAnet drivers instead (if you're under Windows). Some phones for some reason need .inf driver hacking to get detected.

I will give this a go many thanks.

Just to let you know, I am trying to access USB Storage from clockwork recovery since I don't have any rom on here at all.

This may sound weird but I held the USB in the phone port in an angle, luckily the removable drive came up. I got the the ROM on the SD it has installed and loading. I'll see if its an issue with the USB on the phone later on but as long as it got back up and running (Ice Cream) for now.
Anyway thanks guys much appreciated. I'll be a lot more careful next time before I go around wiping everything especially the SD LOL.

I gathered this much from your posts.
Edit: Glad you got it working. Make sure you get CWM updated whenever you can if you haven't done so, this could lead to problems down the road to flash different zips.

ph totally wiped, wiped system data cache, no nandroid backup, cant go download mode

Hi All -
Not a good day for me at all I installed one of the latest Stock Odexed ROM. Then for some reason I wanted to reinstall it so went to Touch v6.0.1.5 recovery and wiped everything without taking nandroid back up as I was 100% sure that I have all my different ROMs in my external card. Then after wiping the device when I went to my external card to install the ROM I found nothing in there !!! Total phone wiped out !!! Now cant even go to Download Mode to install a ROM using odin. Tried adb reboot download but still No luck. Cant go to download mode. May be my USB cable or PC has issues, wont detect my phone right now every time I want to go to download mode it goes to recovery mode. Hence cant install any ROM. Please help !!!
I also installed the Samsung USB driver but still my PC wont detect my phone.
My device is Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
You help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you can still access recovery just DL another ROM and flash it. I must be missing something here. Is the phone usable?

Most likely it's the OP that's missing something, being in panic.
OP, get an SD card, load any ROM on it, insert it into your phone, boot to recovery, install ROM, profit.

Smart idea !!! I am so dumb, this idea didnt come to my head But currently cant do it because there is no way I can access (read/ write) the Micro SD card so that I can trasfer a ROM there and install it by going to the recovery. Any idea? I dont have the card reader.

Does the phone still boot to OS?

Thanks buddy but the problem is I cant access my Micro USB Card. The phone doesnt boot and gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.

In both TWRP and CWM recoveries you have "Mount USB storage" option.
Connect your phone to PC with USB cable, use that option, and copy the ROM right on your USB storage.
Or grab a card reader for $1 from eBay To have one just in case. Or use any other phone (family/friends) for copying the ROM on the SD card. So many options...

Thats the only option I see Jack_R1, either buy a card reader or use friends one. I tried Mount USB Storage before but nothing happened. And other issue I have been having for last few weeks is - my PC wont detect my phone, it says unrecognized device or something. So I have been using FTP for transferring ROM and other files to my phone.
But I will try with a card either for now. Hope that helps otherwise will need guidance from expert ppl like you all.
Thanks again. Appreciate for your quick responses.

You said in the OP that you tried adb reboot download. So do you have adb installed? If so have you installed the google drivers?? Here's the link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
If you don't have them installed do so. Then type:
Code:
adb devices
You might need to exit SDK manager and reboot your comp before it shows. Also there is a program called usbdeview you can DL to remove any drivers you have installed that might coflict.

Never heard of having recovery but not download.... Sure you don't have a usb cable/connection problem?

He most probably has a problem with USB port - requiring some cleaning (and hopefully nothing more). Likely one of the data (D+/D-) pins isn't connecting.

As you guys suggested - I am cleaning the USB Drivers. usbdview looks a pretty handy tool didnt know about this one. Download ADT and Google USB driver. Will try it out soon.
But now my phone is back to its' life Thanks so much to all of you !!! I dont know how it formatted both the sdcard and external storage !!!Any idea? Can a ROM do this? (well fortunately I backed up all my files from the Micro SD last night)

Jack_R1 - what is the best way to clean the USB port? I will keep you posted if driver clean up and re-installation helps to detect the phone or not.

Toothpick and gently going over all contacts inside the socket.

Prying up on the prong ever so gently(it really don't take much) with a toothpick worked for me. Although now that I think about it, the toothpick may have just helped clean it ^^^

Cm10.1 with wrong gapps

Please help I am new to this stuff and yesterday I got my phone to cm 10.1 but I realized the .zip from the thread was wrong and now i have 4.2.1 running on my phone but 4.3 gapps and because of that my phones keyboard wont work. Also I cant flash new gapps because it doesn't let me install from my external sd and i haven't found a way to connect my phone to my computer.

If you cannot turn developer mode on and use ADB push, then, you should be able to in CWM.
Failing that, does Google Play work?
If so, install (from your PC via Google Play page) WiFi File Transfer Pro, fire up an FTP session and push the needed GApps over.
And if all else fails...
ODIN back to stock.

I really don't get it
Can you explain this in detail?

Sure thing.
ADB is the debug program for Android. You can use it specifically to push files to the device. But it is not turned on on the device by default. You will need to go into developer options under settings and turn USB debugging on (if Developer Options is not there, go into About Phone and tap Build Number 7 or 8 times tom unlock the feature).
For this to work, you will need a linux PC with an ADB binary (if using Debian/Ubuntu, can "apt-get install adb", then run adb as superuser or sudo) or a windows computer with adbsetup installed. The latter will install the program to C:\adb. So open a command prompt and (with the device plugged in and developer options turned on) type:
Code:
c:
cd \adb
adb devices
You should get a listing of your device, raring to go. If so, great! Copy the the appropriate Gapps package to C:\ADB and type:
Code:
adb push gapps-4.2.zip gapps-4.2.zip
...or whatever the filename is called (there twice as it needs the local and remote file name).
So if that works, can reboot into recovery (CWM) via the three finger salute (turn device off fully, wait a few seconds, hold down both volume buttons while pressing the power button), wipe dalvik cache, and flash the right GApps.
Another option is if you can add Google Play apps to your device. Don't imagine, but if it is possible, fire up your computer and log into your Google Play account. Search for "WiFi File Transfer Pro" and install. With a Wifi connection on the device, it should download and install. If it doesn't, try the scorched earth option below. If it does install, open Wifi File Transfer Pro, turn on FTP server, and keep note of the IP address and Port (Will be noted as IPort). Open or install an FTP client like FileZilla on your PC, and open a connection using that IP address and Port. Transfer the Gapps package over to the device, in the root folder. Then like above, reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik, flash gapps.
The last option, the scorched earth method, is to bring everything back to stock, mind you with root and CWM. Pick option D from the above link (previous post). Download and install adbsetup for the drivers. Option D download will come with a program called ODIN, and that link will have detailed instructions (download and extract the files, open ODIN, put the phone into download mode by turning the device off, hold down both volume buttons while inserting the MicroUSB cable, place the extracted files inthe right sections of ODIN, and flash away).
Hope this helps.

Ok one of my main problems is that I can't use keyboard...which means no internet because I can't type any passwords
And the other big thing is that none of my computers connect toy phone even with USB debugging on from setting and even in recovery
I was wondering if I get a connection with no password will I be update from the phone because there is an option to do so.

Because Google Play is part of Gapps, there is no guarantee that will work either to update. If you can find an unsecured network (or temporarily turn off WPA on your router), you can test this, but at this point, I would be doing the scorched earth method. You would only be going back to Gingerbread, and however you play your cards (whether you disable lagfix or flash ICS as an intermediary), you would only be one or two flashes away from a functional Jellybean.

Ok my phone doesnt connect with usb ive tried several different times.
I did the adb method everything was fine except i didnt get the device list ,it was empty.
So if it cant connect how will i connect it to my computer to use odin?
Ps. I did download the drivers

True enough. Lets try this (as I just thought about it via some other weird, more convoluted way). CM 10.1 comes with a file manager right? Download the 4.2 Gapps onto your mcroSD card, insert it into your device. Fire up the file manager. Copy the Gapps file from the external SD card to the internal card, root folder (where the offending Gapps lies). Reboot into ClockworkMod and wipe Dalvik and install the appropriate zip.
If this does not work, my more convoluted way wouldn't either (search and download "wifi file transfer pro apk" to SD, open with file manager, install, follow the rest of above option 2), and would be out of options except getting your hardware fixed (as it sounds like your device not connecting via USB is a hardware issue).

Ive tried with micro sd before and it hasnt worked
The thing is that All of this stopped working after the update and the thing that i disliked the most was that when i was getting the update it said jb 4.2 gapps but proved wrong

You tried mounting the microSD with the proper Gapps, and copying it with CM's File Manager (to the internal disk to be picked up by CWM later)? Just being clear, and making sure you are not talking about trying to install a zip directly from the MicroSD with CWM (as mentioned, and ruled out before). Because these are two completely different things. Is the MicroSD readable at all on your device? Is it formatted properly (FAT32, or even Ext2/3/4, but not NTFS)?

Can you explain the formatting stuff?

Sure. Insert the microSD into your computer, and open up Windows Explorer. There will be a new drive that appears. Right click on that removable drive, and select Properties. Confirm the File System. If it is FAT32, you are okay. If it is NTFS, or exFAT, you will need to format (as the Infuse will not recognize these formats). Press Cancel.
Before beginning, make a backup of the MicroSD card, as we are going to wipe and start from scratch. Then, right click on the removable drive again (and only this drive, or you will cause damage to your computer) and select Format. Change the file system to FAT32. If this is not an option, find and download a disk utility that will (I'm not familiar with them, but google "removable storage format fat32 download" for one). Press start, and wait a few minutes. When done, you can reload your files on the drive (restore your backup), and try inserting it in your Infuse again.
Hope this helps.

Probably not, IIRC external SD did not work in CWM for the Infuse. But re-read post #10, what I'm suggesting is getting CWM to read the proper Gapps from the internal card, but placing it there with CyanogenMod's file manager.
CM 10.1 comes with a file manager right? Download the 4.2 Gapps onto your mcroSD card, insert it into your device. Fire up the file manager. Copy the Gapps file from the external SD card to the internal card, root folder (where the offending Gapps lies). Reboot into ClockworkMod and wipe Dalvik and install the appropriate zip.

Sorry, I misread your previous post. Thanks for the clarification. What are the details on the microSD card? Make, model, speed, capacity? If it is a 64+ GB card, it would spell problems as the Infuse was never rated for a capacity that large.

It's a sandisk 16 gb
Sd card
Fat32

No reason why the microSD won't work in the Infuse.
If you have a Bluetooth keyboard you can borrow - or try buying (not sure if it will connect) - but if you can get your hands on one, you could use that (never had to use one so I don't know how they connect) to download the right GApps package to your phone (via the built-in browser).
I'm curious as well, if the speech-to-text works. You could use google now search to find the gapps package ("okay google, xda developers") and browse to the right page. Of course you will need a unsecured network to attempt.
Other than that, unfortunately I'm out of ideas.
