No PC Connection - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

G920F
BL: COI9
Rom: XtreStoLite Deo Mod 2.4 (Android 5.1.1)
Kernel: Unikernel v9
My S6 works flawless.
Except for the fact that I cannot get a functional PC Connection. I tried everything I know: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Linux and even a mac. Windows states everytime that the device doesn't work properly and cannot be identified. It is listed as unknown device.
Yes I have installed drivers many many times.
I don't want to do a factory reset. Because if I delete everything and after that there is still no connection, I am pretty f*cked up.
I tested with several usb ports and cables.
I installed other kernels.
I even changed the daughterboard.
It can charge when it's connected to a PC but nothing more. I had it under warranty send in for a repair but Samsung Germany said to me that "every change of the original software leads to loss of the warranty. "
I think my S6 itself doesn't have a USB driver. So it doesn't know how to commute with a PC.
So I got two questions. Is my S6 bricked? Does someone know my problem or even a solution?
And second is there a way to flash bootloader, modem, twrp without a PC?

I had the same problem, but it was due to Windows 10. After I downgraded to win 8.1 it worked flawlessly. Did you try with a different USB cable?

The only thing left is to back up your data then do a factory reset.

But if I do a factory reset, how can I install something? If everything including data is deleted?

Hi Phillip
Only the data is deleted. Remember, the phone comes from the "factory" with software installed.

hardware id missing from driver

i just rooted and whatnot, everything went without a hitch.......i reboot my phone and my PC states that my hardware ID is missing, yet if i lost my IMEI i shouldn't be receiving service correct? anyone know what's going on?
i've tried alternate ports and tried uninstalling drivers completely and reinstalling them, none of it's worked

hmmm, this is odd.......if, while the same error is displaying, i go into where i can change the usb pc settings and swap it from standard MTP over to PTP, it'll find my phone as a camera, then if i switch back to MTP, it'll let me browse thru my phone with no issues......wonder if others are having that issue lol

im pretty sure it had nothing to do with rooting....
im guessing you have a windows pc?
samsung put out a driver update for the computer that caused the error.
only way i found to fix the problem is to do a system restore back a few days before the update.
my update was automatic, im going to see if i can stop that update from happening for now..
ic you can call samsung and make them aware like i did...
what is the actual name of the missing driver? is it the samsung _i535 that is missing? is so, it happened to me, and i just have to manually install it by browsing to the android sdk folder under extra and selected the google usb driver.
What is the proper way of fixing this issue. Mine just started throwing this out too. If I reboot my computer I can usually get it to read my phone, but this is a pain.
Wonder no more, same issue here. Missing Hardware ID after rooting, Bell SGH-I747M Used the root/stock image on XDA.

Same thing happens to me.
Switch to a different USB port. Then keep disconnecting from your PC and switching ports if it still does it. Eventually it will install the drivers and work.
Not a fix at all, but what I do to get it to work.

anyone ever figure out a solution to this "hardware id is missing" issue?
Un-installing and re-installing the drivers works most of the time. I dunno why it didn't for the OP.

Crash when charging

Hi,
I have my Nexus 5 since early february, rooted it, running stock KK no problem.
I flashed the Android L preview a few days after its release to test it a few weeks.
As I wasn't sastified with this preview and the lack of many my little rooted convenience, a few days I went back to KK 4.4.4 and flashed the ElementalX kernel.
Since then when I plug it into anything (computer or just charger) it generally stays just fine until the screen shuts off -during this time I can use normally- or report a system error saying the UI has crashed. I can't use it anymore and I have to unplug it and reboot it.
After rebooting it loses the wallpaper I had setup, as far as I can see it's the only setting it loses.
As I hadn't had this problem with L, I went back to it. And same problem.
Do you know anything about that ? I searched this forum and the only thing that seemed to be near was this thread, but it doesn't exactly corrolate.
Thank you.
You tried a full fresh factory image of 4.4.4, correct?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Correct, I took the file from google server not anything else.
I don't know if this would matter (I honestly don't think i would), but have you tried different USB ports, and ultimately, a different computer?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
I did try every USB hub my motherboard has.
No, I didn't try another computer but I tried on Windows and on Ubuntu.
How did u flash the FI?
Try Method 2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
BTW do not restore any Android L stuff
I originally typed all commands, but then I used the Nexus Root Toolkit, yes I was being lazy... And maybe I shouldn't have been, but this software seemed legit good. And then I tried what's described in method one.
I'll try method 2 tonight (it's 8am here).
I didn't "restore" android L" stuff, I wanted to see this preview, after having seen it I went back to KK, as I had problems I hadn't had with the preview I thought I'd just come back to that.

Its strange that this happens on stock with no modifications at all. Have you tried playing around with the USB settings located in both the storage menu and in developer settings?

Well, I successfully reflashed 4.4.4, I have not encountered that annoying bug since.
But, I have one driver related issue, windows insists on installing only the ADB drivers when I plug my N5 in MTP mode (USB debbuging deactivated).
And even after it doesn't detect it when I try to send instructions (works fine though in bootloader mode)...
And the os doesn't see the N5 neither as a MTP devices nor a USB storage device. But I can it in the peripherals list.
i can't find the right key words if this problem has happened before (which I'm sure it has)

Just out of curiosity, does your Nexus display the right amount of storage for your internal SD card (in the settings menu)?

Are you thinking of the bug making some 32Go models appear as 16Go ? As I have the 16Go models, I don't think it could affect me :/
Nope, it's right amount of storage displayed, 12,55Go free, 1Go of apps, 1Go of audio files etc

This problem is killing me -- "Not registered on network" -- I've tried everything

This problem is killing me -- "Not registered on network" -- I've tried everything
I have the SM-G920F model S6.
Custom rom initially was XtreStoLite 1.4a with the latest bootloader and modem installed via Odin.
It was working fine for a month or so... Then suddenly I received network connectivity issues (doesn't connect to 3G/4G and I can't make or receive any calls or texts). I thought the sim was damaged, I bought a new one with a new number, still not working.
I upgraded the rom from 1.4a to 1.5 via TWRP (doing a factory reset too).
Still nothing.
I've tried turning phone off and on, clearing the cache for the "phone" app too.
Also checked the IMEI number, it's fine, no mismatch and it's not banned/been blocked either. Tried the whole selecting a specific network/finding network automatically thing too, no dice T_T
Nothing is working.
Anyone help? It's crazy that my phone isn't working despite all these actions I'm taking!

ttry with stock firmware, when you have no register on the network are 2 posibilite 1 you phone is reported or 2 is a modem problem and maybe you can fixed with the stock firm.

Maybe you really should try stock ... Or if you managed to root without triping Knox you could unroot and go completely stock and if it works test it for some time and if stock dose not work ... Then at least your phone is stock ( taking in account that Knox is not triped ) go to service and see if they could help you in any way ...
Also if you have warranty at all ...

Galaxy S6 G920F - Can't transfer files from my Macbook to my phone via USB

So this problem is a real pain in the ass for me the last couple of days.
I have an early 2015 MacBook Air (running 10.13.3 El Capitan) and my phone is the Galaxy S6 running Xtrestolite 2.4 ROM with Hacker kernel.
Whenever I connect my phone to the laptop over USB it says "Could not connect to device. Try reconnecting or restarting your device".
Both of those options don't work. On my phone I have the developer options enabled and the USB Debugging section checked.
I have tried multiple USB cables (not even the official Samsung cable doesn't work).
On the notification bar under "USB computer connection" it is marked as a Media device (MTP), but when I change it to Camera (PTP) it automatically opens the "Photos" app on the MacBook.
I have tried Samsung Kies (yea I know it doesn't support the new Galaxy phones but I thought it would still be worth a shot) and Samsung Smart Switch (it detected a device, but got stuck on the connecting to phone for lik 10 mins and then I got an error).
Here are a few things listed under About device on my phone:
Model: SM-G925K
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G920FXXS3COK5
Kernel Version: 3.10.94-Hacker-S6-Universal-V11
Build Number: XtreStoLite Deo Mod v2.4-XXU3COI9
Did you try this? https://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Yes I did.
I said that on the beginning (forgot to mention that the error message was from AFT)
Has this problem existed since the first day or recently? Cause i own a MBP 2014 and i am going to buy a s6 soon.
I own an iMac late 2013 and there is no problem with el capitan
Try resetting your phone

Nah it was all good before. Even after I rooted it was working. I think that I messed up something when switching between kernels, first I was at the stock kernel (Unikernel) for this ROM then Vindicator and lastly Hacker kernel. Right after switching from Unikernel to Vindicator the connection via AFT would often break and then I had to reboot the device, but after I installed Hacker its not working .
Dont know if I messed something up, I did a full wipe (factory + dalvik), installed the ROM first and then right after the kernel.
Could this maybe be the cause?

By resetting you mean completely wiping it and re-installing the rom + kernel?

Yea I guess I can make a backup via TWRP and then reinstall everything and see if it fixes anything, if not, I can revert everything.
I have a question (I know its dumb), so I should do a full wipe into installing the ROM into installing the kernel right?

Nope still doesnt work.
I did a full wipe + factory reset (even managed to soft brick the device lol), re-installed the ROM + Aroma add-ons + Kernel but still isnt working.
I am becoming really desperate.
I will try to go back to the stock ROM, root it, delete useless apps via Titanium backup and hopefully I can use it like that as I am 100% that it works on the stock firmware.
Try download Shortcut master lite from playstore, run secret code explorer in it, then code 0808, and set AP and MTP+ADB, that helped me, when I had similar issues.

Oneplus one acting weird

My opo fell in water so its screen was not working. My father gave it to a mobile repair shop who repaired it for 4k. When he checked the phone everything seemed alright.He was able to call me etc etc. Then he couriered me the phone. When I got It... It had cos13 latest version. I checked everything except calling. Then I rooted my phone. Flashed oreo. I inserted my sim. It was able to detect that it was an idea sim and import contacts from it but it showed no service. I thought it was the rom. I flashed Tugapower N49. Same problem. So I thought restoring it to stock might solve the problem. Used oneplus one recovery tool to restore it to 4.4 . Still the same problem. It can detect the sim but can not catch any signal. I check my Imei number. Its still there. But I was not able to run the ping test. Then I thought of using this phone for checking roms only and use my Lumia(I hate Lumia) for calling. Rooted it again. Flashed oreo. Flashed its gapps. It show installation complete but its stuck there...... Waited for half an hour. Forced restart. oreo opened but It was nt factory reset although I had wiped it and it shut down after some time. after that my phone reached the android screen only and cant proceed further. I thought maybe force closing my phone during gapps installation did this. Tried to install tuga power.. error executing update binary. Had one more nougat rom. Installed it. Again it didn't show that starting google screen which u see when ever u open a new phone. Basically It was again not factory reset, Wiped everything except system. still this happened. Returned back to stock using recovery tool. Now I tried to install multirom so that I can install the oreo rom. after rooting multirom wasn't able to download anything. Downloaded it manualy. Flashed multirom twrp using fastboot. opened recovery . Not working. phone rebooting. Flashed the previous recovery which I was using before multirom one, That one is working properly!!! What is wrong with my phone???!!!!!

It must be something with the hardware then.You've to disassemble your device and check if network antenna's broken.Follow the tutorial on YouTube.
