I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 running Liquid Smooth ROM. Everything was working excellent and a friend of mine had a mini usb to female usb adapter that I was using to check out some flashdrives.... Long story short I ran across one that I had set up as a bootable usb with Window NT Registry Editor on it. Phone said preparing SD card and..... THE END!! Phone went black and hasn't turned on yet!! I created a JIG based on what I've seen across the web with 300k ohm resistor on the 4 and 5 pin of a mini usb. Absolutely nothing has come of this. Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist if JIG didnt activate it then probably something has gone wrong on your device may be from hardware side .. check if battery is good
Good Luck!

So this issue started a few days ago. Any time I plugged my phone in it would constantly connect and disconnect from the pc. I've tried multiple usb cables, ports, and the 3 PCs I have with the same result on each. Now when I plug it in, it is no longer being recognized by the PC, Odin, ADB, etc... It will charge but that is it.
I have a warranty replacement coming to me however I need to be able to get this one back to stock... Any suggestions?
Before anyone asks, NO it has never been wet, dropped, damaged in any way, set on fire, caught in a land slide, earthquake, what have you.. The phone itself functions perfectly fine. All drivers are up to date, none of my PCs configurations have changed. I have one I use specifically for app development and not even that one will see the phone.
I had the same problem. I used a different cable and it all worked better....now with that said it happened again so I flashed my phone back to stock and all was well.
Then went to flashing ROMS.

Really check out the micro usb cable. A bad cable will just about always allow a device to charge, but data transfer is another story. If you really have tried a few micro USB cables, then it the problem relies elsewhere. Try restarting both phone and PC, and if neither works, sounds like you have a busted port on the Skyrocket.
Thank you both for your responses. I am a PC technician so I followed my usual troubleshooting steps to figure this out. I narrowed it down to either all of my cables are bad (not a chance) or the phone is just f**ked (likely). Ah well ill have to try to use another way to force the stock firmware and recovery on here. Lol

I use my old Nokia OEM USB cable. Connects with the right number of pins on the USB connection end. I'd check your USB cables for # of pins . Skyrocket uses 5 I believe. Also that there is sufficient power to your USB ports. Aka avoid front USB ports which could only be 4 pin....

When you plug the usb cable in, do you see the usb icon at the top left of your screen? I have to pull that window down to tell it to connect to pc, then confirm it again before mine connects. Mine doesn't auto connect on its own.
I see you've been a member for a few years so if its not connecting, that really sucks man. Hope you get it figured out.

Not running the AOKP ROM are you? The R3 build had an issue with this, and all AOKP will disable USB to PC if you enable 'fast charge' under ROM Control...
Good luck :S
According to what I've been reading you can try using the *#7284# code and setting the USB portion from PDA to MODEM and then back to PDA and it would kickstart the connection. No dice for me though. Ive been through 7 different USB cables already.. I am not about to go and buy one just to keep playing with it my other phones connect just fine using the same cables. No, I am running the latest Sky ICS
Hi Everyone!
So i've being looking for a diagram or something that might be as helpful for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100.
Would be great to use one cable for charging otg and sound

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155065
i've seen some for tab 7 with similar info
pinout info is generally the same for all the tabs.

well, i've done it without the audio(have not tried it yet) i'm trying to find a breakout board somewhere in europe and try it again.
I've used the thread called make your own cables. just search for it here o the forum.
one thing i want to add is that for whatever reason the flash drive would not remount with the setup that i had if you reboot the tablet while flash drive is plugged in and on some other occasions as well.
once ill find the board ill try it again and with audio (u need the board cos the standard sync cable does not have all the pins in it (( )
atm i simply charge normally and use SD card extender cable and SD card for storage
Cheerio

Hi,
I have searched and searched and not found an answer, please help!
My son's SGT2 7.0 does not connect to any computer when plugging in via USB. The computer doesn't even acknowledge that a device has been attached. I have installed the samsung drivers, tried Kies, enabled developer options and checked the USB debug box, but all to no avail.
The device is not rooted.
Also, it has the dreaded "red cross" when charging the battery. Is there a way to get rid of this short of sending it back to Samsung?
Anyone any solution for these issues? Would be most grateful.
Thanks
I had this same problem a few weeks back. I bought a new USB cord and the problem stopped. Somewhere the cord went bad, it wouldn't even charge unless the tab was powered off.

Well the new cable sorted out the usb connection problem, and indeed the red X issue too. Samsung brand and less than £3. Happy days
Hi guys i purchased a hdmi to mhl adapter cable for my S4 i9505 (i have attached image, intented for S4) which is rooted running on stock rom 4.2.2 JB.
It is not working with my s4, i have noticed that the mhl port does not insert fully into my s4, and goes in about 3/4, is this normal?
I have tried restarting phone and tv, connected to power source correctly etc. Are there any other considerations?
On a side note, i tried this cable on my Note 10.1 2014 tablet and it inserts fully in, i get the "hdmi connected" message and it works flawlessly. However its not working on my S4.
If anyone has any suggestions or solutions, please let me know. Thanks.

Maybe needs power adapter connected to the phone. I know the Genuine Hdtv Hdmi adapter works with the S4 without requiring power connected. Also Its Mhl 2.0, not sure what ur cable is ? 2.0 or 1.0?
It is connected to power source, the issue is its not inserting fully into my s4. I tried it on a mates S3lte today and it worked and went in fully and worked.
What could be the issue? Any suggestions?
P.s. im not sure if its mhl 1.0 or 2.0 but the cable was advertised to work with s4.

When I got my Genuine Samsung MHL adapter, I couldn't get it to work at first either. Same problem, the connector looked much longer than regular micro-USB, and I found it strange that it stuck out so much. In the end, I figured that there was a reason that the MHL connector is longer, and I pushed it in slightly harder, and it finally snapped in properly, and my S4 told me that the adapter was detected. It does take more effort than a regular micro-usb cable to connect properly, so try using just slightly more pressure than normal, until it pops in all the way, or at least until the device is detected. If veins are popping out of your forehead, then you're pushing way too hard, and something else is wrong.

I tried to put alot of pressure but it did not go in. Werid thing is, i tried the mhl adapter cable with another friends S4 and even on that, it didnt go in and gave the same issue.
Now im wondering if Samsung possibily made some early batches of the S4 that take the 5pin connector? And that being the reason why it does not insert properly into two handsets i have tried on. Any ideas or suggestions people? Thanks

So, my brother bought a new multi purpose cable for his android and asked me to connect his phone to our TV. I was a bit skeptical as to how the phone will recognise the type of output to it needs to produce in order for it to replicate the screen onto the tv
After failing at first, i tried to search in settings, however all it showed under display settings was some wireless options, which is of course not what i am looking for. My brother uses Galaxy s3 mini and sister uses Galaxy s4, connected both devices and nothing happened. i use htc m7, but my phone is only good for charging, it doesnt transfer data (probably a hardware issue, i transfer files wirelessly, so never went about repairing it)
I am attaching a picture of the cable for your reference. Any guidance in the right direction is much appreciated
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I don't think it's going to be possible to connect your device to the tv. Although not for your device, I did find some threads that discuss this:
