USB problems

Hey. My captivate has been working beautifully with these new GB roms until about a week ago when my computer won't even recognize my phone. and all the phone shows that it charging but no notification about USB connection? ive tried different ports and reinstalling drivers all that good stuff and restarting my computer and turning on and off usb debugging and the cable still works with other devices so can anyone help?
Also can you tell me if samsung will replace my phone with a custom ROM on it? im thinking of doing this because i cant flash back to stock without the USB working!

Are you sure the cable is 100% functional? What other devices?
Try plugging it in to another computer as well

I have had that problem on a few gb roms too. Go into USB settings and change them to kies and then plug your phone into the computer using your USB cable. Just leave it plugged in for a few seconds, you don't have to wait for your phone to be detected. After unplugging the cable, restart your computer and phone. Once both are running again, go back into USB setting and change them back to USB storage and then plug your phone back into your computer, making sure you use a USB port directly connected to your motherboard. Works for me everytime.
Edit: If you suspect that your USB cable is not working, see if Odin will detect your phone in download mode. Don't flash anything, just see if it says connected in Odin.

it didnt work if i just go to samsung and give them the phone with the custom rom on it what would they do?

Download kies and see if your computer will detect your phone in kies mode. You could always get an SD card and put all the files on the card then move them to your internal SD. If you have a custom rom installed you can flash stock using cwm. Did you try connecting your phone in download mode to your computer running Odin??? If it doesn't detect it then your USB port is not working or your USB cable is broken. If it is working flash stock and start again. It could be a bad flash.

i have had the same problem a couple days ago, plugged in another captivate into my computer it recognized it. then plugged in my phone and everything was working fine again.
try plugging in anothe android phone running froyo or whatever version you have

Can you get your phone into download mode?

Sounds like it could be, try plugging it into the back of the computer and see if that helps.

The USB drivers for download mode are in the bootloaders and has nothing to do with the USB drivers for the rom. Even if you had a bad flash and the USB portion of the rom was corrupt, your computer would still be able to detect your phone in download mode. See if you can plug your phone into a different computer either at a friends house or at work to see if they can detect your phone with your cable. If not, you will need a new cable.

So what if that didn't work and nothing was wrong with the cable? Would it be my USB port on the phone because the cable wiggles when I put it in.

USB Problem! Help!

I have a Samsung Fascinate and my phone won't connect to my computer! A few days ago, I was on rooted stock and I noticed it wouldn't connect to my PC. I did a data wipe and installed MIUI and noticed the problem was still going on. I thought it was no big deal but now it is VERY annoying! I've tried it on my Windows 7 computers and one XP computer and none of them work! They all say that it can't be recognized. I have accidental insurance on it and the person at BestBuy mobile said I can root it without voiding it. I don't know if installing a ROM (MIUI) voids it or not. I'm trying to do an Odin restore and when I put it in download mode, Windows still says that it can't recognize it. I want it on stock before calling them about it. I'm thinking this is a hardware issue. Anyway to get it off of MIUI and back to stock without a PC?! :'(

have you tried going to settings/development and un checking USB Debugging? worked for me after update.

Yes, make sure USB Debugging is not selected, as this will prevent your device from entering storage mode and be picked up by your Computer.

Also, make sure that you're using the original USB data cable that came with your phone. Other cables might allow charging, but won't work for data.

or...
if still doesnt work, try a factory reset (sorry)

I am using the original cable. And USB Debugging is unchecked. It also won't detect my phone in download mode...? Could it maybe be the USB?

Did you download the ADB usb drivers? Also, be very careful downloading the Samsung Drivers and updating Win 7. They broke two of my computers.

[Q] Bootloops when using OTG

Has anybody else connected via a USB OTG cable to a USB drive? I get stuck in bootloops both when running normally and in recovery mode. I thought this might be a better way to backup my storage since connecting via a USB cable to a computer takes a very long time.
Edit: Working now, seems that the S6 does not like the Stickmount app but supports OTG without an extra app.
Thanks

authorize USB - Debugging with broken Screen&Touch

Hi together,
my touchscreen&display are broken. Now i wanted to clone my screen to my laptop by ApowerMirror. The app can install the Phone-Client via ADB. USB-Debugging was enabled on my Mate 7, but my Laptop isnt Authorized.
HiSuite also tells me, that i have to press the authorize-button on the phone.
CWM Recovery is already installed, but i dont want to boot in the recovery, because there is no way back in the ROM until i have no screen and Touch(PhoneLock)
I wanted to try to press the button with a connected mouse, but when i unplug my Notebook the AuthorizePopUp will disappear.
BTW: I also tried to connect the Mate7 with a MHL-Cable with the TV...No funktion. Do your Phones support MHL?

just connect an otg mouse and keyboard... you know, get root by cwm, then use wifi control it instead of adb

Broken digitizer, how to enable usb debugging?

Hi guys,
I dropped my OPO and now digitizer is not working.
I want to connect my phone to computer and use it (turn off alarm clock, read some messages). Unfortunately I don't have otg cable.
My phone is rooted, but usb debugging is off, so my computer doesn't see my OPO.
I tried with my recovery (TWRP 3.1.1-K2), but adb says it's unauthorized device and because of broken digitizer I can't turn on adb sideload in recovery.
Do you know of any way to turn it on?

That is one of the most simply elegant solutions I've seen posted anywhere.
