Hi all
I just bought an i9020 today and when I plugged in the USB the phone is charging but the window for mounting storage did not pop up. It acted as if i simply plugged in a wall charger. I'm sure it's not the cable or the computer's hardware problem because I have three computers and three cables and I've tried different combinations and it still did not work. The old nexus one that I had, however, successfully recognized the USB cable and was able to mount and get into debugging mode etc.
Any ideas? If the phone is charging then it would reject the possibility of a damaged USB port correct?
I can't even fiddle with the drivers at this point because the phone doesn't even show up in device manager. i have tried unplugging the battery as another thread suggested but the results are still the same.
And also another problem is that when I power off the phone will freeze when it's about to shut down. This happens when the cable is plugged and once I unplug the phone will shut down. The same thing happens in bootloader.
P.S Even in bootloader fastboot was unable to recognize the device.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
Any ideas?
If it is a hardware issue I'll just send it back for a new one
This happened to me recently out of the blue. I flash a lot of ROMs so I thought maybe something on my device got messed up. I never did find a definitive answer as to why it happened, though. I also couldn't mount USB through CWM recovery.
But what fixed it was, I shut down the device, pulled the battery, waited 10 seconds, put battery back in, booted up, and I had USB connectivity again. I haven't lost connectivity since.
Since the battery pull didn't work for you, I would try and exchange the device for a new one.

Take a pocket knife or something else thin and place it under the tab in your USB port in your phone and press it up just a little then try plugging in it

Is this a hardware issue then? This worked for me but I'm not sure if it's a permanent solution. Should I still go get a new one?
if it's a hardware failure which component should be changed

i've never torn my nexus apart
but I imagine that it could be swapped out. you'd probably need to know your way around a board with a solder gun lol. I would try to google that or atleast the tear down of the nexus to see what your in for and if its changeable.

Hello. yes this is my first post, however I have searched on the forums and on google, but have not found an answer.
I have a completely stock skyrocket (i727 on ATT) that I have been charging on a non-Samsung cable. The battery died (as it has many times recently) except this time I wasn't able to turn it on. it is unresponsive to any button combo I try for any period of time.
However, it is recognized in Device Manager on my 64-bit Windows 7. I downloaded the qhsusb_dload drivers from this site and installed them, however that hasn't had any effect to my knowledge. When I hold the power button while it is plugged into my computer, my computer makes the "device connected" noise. So I know the phone is operational, it just won't turn on, nor will any sort of "charging" graphic come up when it is charging.
I saw that this is a common problem, however it seemed that everyone who hard bricked their skyrocket was trying to flash other ROMs... whereas I have a stock skyrocket. So I'm not sure why the battery dying affected it thusly.
Please help! I apologize if there is an answer already somewhere else; I wasn't able to find it.
EDIT: I saw this service:
[youtube] DOT com/watch ? v= AkJQAbwZjRk
is offered, and it seemingly will unbrick it without wiping any data... so I'm not sure if I want to do that, when I can have it repaired for free by Samsung. (the only catch is they will wipe EVERYTHING-- like an idiot, I've NEVER backed it up.)
Want to know the easiest way to make sure all questions are asked in General? Have a separate Q&A forum.
Are you sure your battery's fully charged? If so, are you sure your screen's not dead? If you haven't modded it at all, it might not be worth your time to fix it. Warranty it out.

:facepalm:
If a mod could move this that would be fantastic.... >.<
Yes, because it won't actually register in Kies, and the buttons don't light up, nor does the phone make the turning on noise or vibrate.
First off, are you sure it's not just a dead battery? Second, have you tried putting it into download mode to see what happens?
Honestly, I'd just warranty it out if you can't get the screen to come up in download mode. It's probably hardware.

I'm not exactly clear on what download mode is... However I tried it with another battery, and since my computer reacts to my hitting the power button when they're connected, I don't think that's the issue.
I think that that is what I'll end up having to do... I just really hate to lose all my data.... :'(

Hey there,
I have read these forums for a while but this is my first reply.
I am having the exact same problem as the original poster. I was browsing the internet at night while plugged in and the phone started becoming sluggish. It soon turned off and the battery charging screen turned on and showed I had ~50% battery, i pushed the power button and got the rogers splashscreen but then it would go back to the battery charging screen again. I did that cycle a few times before forgetting about it and going to bed. The next morning my phone was not responsive to the power button and the screen has been black ever since.
I have tried taking out the battery, removing the case and unplugging/replugging the light blue cable that runs along the side of the case and I borrowed a friend's battery who also has the same phone and carrier as me and it still would not work.
My phone is stock everything, i usually charge with a non-samsung power adapter/cord. I am with Rogers using the Galaxy S2 LTE phone and unfortunately out of warranty by 1 month. When plugged into the computer, Windows makes a sound as if something is connected and holding down the power button makes that sound happen about 1-2 times per second. Device manager shows an unknown USB device and unknown communications device. Kies however does not show a device connected when plugged into the computer.
I believe the OP sent theirs back to get fixed by AT&T however in my case it would involve extending my contract with Rogers by 1 year in addition to an unknow repair fee which is something I would not like to do if possible. I also unfortunately did not back up my files/photos and would prefer not to have them deleted but would be okay with having them wiped if necessary.
Any advice on the best course of action when the phone is not under warranty would be great.
You can try jtag, but you might have a different problem than it can fix. Check out mobiletechvideos.

Smittie was referring to the second poster.
Have either of you tried using the cable that shipped with your phones? Plug those puppies in to the phone, and the WALL SOCKET, give em about 12 hours and I'm close to willing to betcha that you will have a live device once again. Some times plugging into the computer shows charging, but does not provide enough voltage to actually charge but maintain the battery level.
It just sounds to me more like the devices are being under powered at the moment. Even though your computers may "see" the devices, they may even show they are charged or charging, resetting the battery stats could show more detail. I would however at this time also recommend to not use the ADB, or ever EVER rely on Kies.

This is somewhat of an emergency. Recently, the HOX I've been working with began shutting off randomly and now it won't charge or turn on. There is no LED light even indicating that it is charging. Currently, it's running ViperXL and has S-Off. I'm hoping that there is a (simple) solution to this problem. Honestly, for lack of better words I'm pooping bricks right now over this issue.
Your battery may have discharged all the way. You can try plugging it in to a wall charger overnight to see if this might correct the problem.

I suppose anything is better than nothing. But as for the random shutdowns? I don't have an HTC charger so I feel as though the chargers I have may have bricked it or messed up the power receptacle. I have more than 1 charger and none of them work so far. I'll try the overnight charge and see if it works.
Non-standard chargers have bricked some people. This phone has some sort of power management bug that causes the phone to become unresponsive when certain things get corrupted. Plug your phone into a PC and see what comes up in Device Manager. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, I'm afraid you're bricked.

And that will show in Windows as well? I don't have access to a computer with all of the HTC drivers installed at the moment and probably won't until tomorrow afternoon. That and I don't even have a USB cord handy -_-

What he said. Also recommend to try charging overnight on a wall charger (not USB connected to a computer) and see if that helps.
Non HTC chargers typically won't be an issue. Although, if not using the OEM charger, there is always a small possibility that it may supplying voltage/current that doesn't quite meet the proper specs and can damage the device. Even more so, if you are using a cheap off-brand charger.

As for Device Manager, the phone doesn't get recognized so it's a no to QHUSB. Windows won't even pick up the phone. It attempts to install drivers for "Unidentified Device" and fails as it is. (A quick note, it successfully installs as "HID-compliant device" but requires a reboot)

And as for the charger, the main one used was a Samsung charger (old school, one piece). So if anything, I think it may have not been supplied enough voltage.
Also as a general note, sometimes when it's plugged in (to the wall) the bottom LEDs will flash for about 20 seconds and stop all of the sudden.

This is the thread you're referring to right? The only thing that stops me up is hex editing the IMEI into the null p4 backup. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that I need Eclipse for that. As well, a Linux system. Do you think that there may be a chance for this to work? I'd much rather not have to send the phone out for repair. Possibly unlimited.io would have an idea about this? I'm trying to not spend money if possible but if the need be I will fork over some greenbacks to repair this phone. Thanks.
You'll know by step 3 if it will work. Just make a Linux usb stick. Any hex editor will work fine. There's a guide to making an Ubuntu usb stick in q&a if you need help.

i just got at&t sgs2 skyrocket phone 4 days ago online, from someone i dont know,... for 3 days it worked, camera works, wifi works, i downloaded like 5 games already from google play.
then after 3 days, i restarted it, then it didnt turn ON, there was nothing. i didnt root or installed any kind of 3rd party software.
before my phone was screwed. i tried to update it via Kies, kies was always saying "the phone is not supported"
- i tried to remove battery and plug in back, no change, not working.
- i connected the charging cable, still, there is nothing in the screen, NOT EVEN CHARGING ICON.
- there is no vibration or light at all.
so do you guys think that the guy, from i bought the phone, installed a custom software in it?
and if you pls post a solution, that would be helpful.
i cant find usb jig in stores here, do i have to buy it online only? no other option?
3 day curse?
Haha I guess Ursula ( the witch) put a 3 day curse on you phone, that if you don't educate yourself by the dawn of the third day ... your phone will forever become a crippled rabbit. So a USB Jig is helpful and it puts your phone into the download mode, but have you already tried putting your phone into the download mode? (pull the battery, put it back in without turning the phone on yet, WHILE holding the 2 up+down volume keys plug the usb cable into the computer and keep holding those 2 buttons)
Have the proper Drivers installed, have Odin and stock ROM ready to go.
If you after you reading this you feel like WTF is this guy talking about, it means you need to go read Vincom's thread and see what other did.
Search and educate yourself knowing that if you do something to your phone by trial/error, there is always that one error that sets you so far back you wish you took the time to make sense out of things.
After you do your research ask questions like" this is my problem, this is what I based on my research think I should do, what do you guys think?"
Cheers,
Wtf? But you're on the right track.
OP, look for vincom's stickies in the development forum. Read them carefully.

Oh boy! I've had one of those. If you can't get it into download mode (volup+down and then plug in the usb), then you might try a jig from ebay for like $2 or so. That puts it in download mode as well.
Other than that it might be an emmc failure ( the memory chip/internal SD or equivalent to your computer's hard drive/ssd), which again the guys that perform a JTAG repair will be able to diagnose that and offer you some repair options.
Check your messages I'm gonna send you a link ... this guy Josh from MobileTechVideos help me get mine fixed.
Good Luck,
if your battery is charged, it is charged right, and you get no signs of life when depressing power button even w/the cable plugged in(even try keeping the power button depressed for more than 10 sec's) then its either hardbricked or hardware failure, you need to get it professionally fixed.
even with no battery installed but w/the cable plugged in you should get a vibration every few seconds
yep, no vibration at all even with cable plugged in.
now im 99% sure its hard bricked
but my question remains:
it was working fine for 3 days, i installed some games from google play, then i sleep, then i woke up, it wont turn ON, how come?
i didnt installed any custom software in it.
Yes my wife's i777 galaxy s ii did the exact same thing. Gone all of a sudden without any prior notice.
Turned out it was an emmc failure, but rule out all the other odds first.

Hi all experts.
I have one inquiry about my Samsung galaxy S II lte (SGH-1727) Issue.
at the beginning I read too much here but I couldn't find any answer for my phone problem.
the problem happened yesterday, when I was using my phone as usual then suddenly restarted, this issue happen many times before and its ok for me, it tried to restart but suddenly stopped( black screen), I removed the battery then I tried to restart it again, I felt the vibrating start, then stopped, without any respond at all till now, I tried many times to remove the battery and restart it but without any respond, I connected it by using the usb cable, but nothing, ( no vibration, no battery charging) the only thing is my computer can`t recognize the hardware.
I tried to do hard reset or anything, but without any respond.
Kindly, I want to know weather if this phone is totally spoiled or there is something I can do for it to make it usable again, I have a good knowledge about WM5,6,6.1,6.5. but a little bit about android.
thanks

I have been read the button problems for sure, but I think it is not related to the button, there is no respond at all, even not charging, usually if I use the charger, it should start charging, correct me if I`m wrong.
the battery was full and working fine, I tried to clean the connectors too, nothing changed.

could be a bad cable, bad battery, bad phone port, or hw failure.
id keep trying to revive it by either changing cable/charger and/or battery and keeping it plugged in for a long time, if all else fails then it probably a bad mobo or memory, happened to my sons s2 where his was getting hot while recharging and his phone died, no response of any kind, under warranty i think they replaced his mobo

if battery is removed and phone is plugged in it should vibrate, mine does, seems as if yours does not have any life so mobo would be my first guess.
and yes battery could just up and die, but would give some symptoms b4 hand

Trullty Dead?
so i have spent lots of time looking for this issue with my Hercules. i had beeb trying some roms and i think i bricked it, bad,
so odin can see it (gets a yellow) but;
i can not power on the device, get it into recovery OR download mode,
my pc cant get to the information on the phone (i have tried with SD in/ out SIM in /out)
the pc makes the noise when i cycle thru power, but the screen shows nothing,
i have installed Kies but it dosent see the device,
there hasnt been a good post that comfirms that my phone is now a paper weight,
but there has to be a way other than spending $40 to have it repaired (not including shipping)
USB JIG looks interesting but i cant see how that will help in this case...
to be honest this is my first time at ROMing around with a Galaxy,
previously i had an Gooapple 3G and was able to ROM around quite abit no issues with a bad brick like this i was able to save it before
but if anyone has any ideas or can confirm its a hardbrick let me know i only have a few hours between jobs to fix it and cant at night gf takes laptop to night shifts.
thanks for your time reading over if you have questions about anything please ask, i payed for the phone outright to put on Rogers so there is no warrenty anymore and Rogers wont cover repair.

If Odin sees it there's hope. Keep trying to get into download mode. This should be helpful, read it all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

Oh thanks, I just noticed your comment because I thought there is no chance to get my phone alive again, I think I should try this, I have one question regarding the usb jig, is there a specific JIG for every samsung galaxy model? or it is all the same for the micro USB Samsung galaxy phones? and in this case, what is the indication that will make the device run again, is there a special software to install? or after plug this JIG I can be in the bootloader? and is there any possibility to get some of my data or contacts again? thanks for your respond regarding my phone issue.
Jigs don't with on this device. Don't waste your time.
You need to try to odin the stock firmware.

This is incorrect. Jigs do in fact work. However most of the time you will be able to enter download mode without one.
I have had my skyrocket completely unresponsive to any input/button combinations. I tried my homemade jig and was able to recover via Odin. Without the jig my skyrocket would not have been repaired.

hi toyes
just a question regarding your experience regarding this issue, do you mean it was totally unresponsive? not even yellow sign? not even vibrate by connecting the USB cable? and regarding USB JIG, is it the same with 301k resistance? or there is some modifications?
thanks a lot.

Read starting at post 6435 for the next page or so...
Basically I had zero response from the phone. Was playing around with the jig and buttons, put the phone down with the jig in it. Looked back 5 mins later and it was in download mode.
I do think there is something different with my device though. Ever since I got it back from JTAG it has never wanted to reboot. Selecting reboot just shuts the phone down. Every once in awhile it reboots from recovery ok, but that is about 1 in every 10 attempts. When it doesn't reboot I need to long-press the power for about 30s - 1m to get it to fire back up. I am thinking it is some type of hardware issue but not too concerned because at this point it is still 'working'.
