Help me recovering Samsung Galaxy Mini II

Hello.
Short story: my phone was a little wet and i have some issues with it, mostly i want to get a mass storage to get working. (cant root)
Basically at first the phone didn't even want to charge, when i connected it to the PC windows was giving me an error that the device cannot be recognized, and couldn't install the drivers. (i had Kies installed)
I dried it completely, now the phone turns on without any problem, when i connect it to the pc the phone is recognizing connection (i hear sound + the button backlights are firing up for a sec)
Homever, windows is not detecting any USB device at all, and in about phone/info it says the phone is connected to the AC instead of USB.
When i connect it with USB there is no dropdown in notification to choose from charging, storage etc.
There is also manual usb storage mounting under settings/communication/usb settings , when i'm trying to mount here it just says to connect the phone with usb cable (not detecting connection, homever the backlight + sound is here after connecting, and it's charging)
I tried connecting it with usb debugging on/off even tried to fiddle with in service menu (*#7284#) but nothing.
And since i cannot get the usb storage working basically i cannot flash anything or root it.
Also the USB cable is not a Samsung but an HTC one, could this be a problem? (people in different thread said those cables are the same so it shouldnt be a problem, same amperage, same stick etc.)
Even tried to install MountUSB Widget from market, but it doesn't work when im trying to start the app it's force closing, when i make widget on desktop and press it the phone just vibrate for 1 sec and nothing happens.
When i connect phone with Kies AIR and it works, i mean it shows the storage information, also recognize the phone model correctly, how much free space i have on internal and on SD card but i cannot click "show in explorer" it's greyed out.
Any experts out there could help me? :crying:
Just a blind guess, try a USB cable which supports your device. If it doesn't help, I'm afraid it's a hardware problem and you will have to consult some hardware expert.

[Q] options USB - 4.1.1

Hi,
i've received the OTA to 4.1.1, where in the process I've lost root (sigh....), but lost something else as well:
Before the update there were 3 possibilities when connecting via USB - mass storage, media and photots - and now only 2 remain being media and photos.
Problem I have now is that my car won't recognize the USB connection, meaning no charging, no music nothing..... :crying:
Would you know if there's a bypass or a possibility to get this 3rd option back?
(for the music I'm now bypassing with bleutooth, but this doesn't help my battery life......)
Thanks for the help.

Can't connect to pc via MTP mode

I bought a new Xperia z3 and compact and I tried to connect the z3 on my laptop to transfer files but it can't connect via mtp mode for some reason. I can hear the sound connecting and disconnecting but there was no response to the phone and laptop. Not even a notification on the phone. MSC mode is working fine btw. I tried all such as removing sd and sim, restarting both devices but no luck. I know it is the phone itself is the problem because my Z3 compact is working just fine. I was able to connect the compact to the pc wirelessly via LAN but to be able to do that you need to pair the device via mtp mode. Anyone have the same problem? As I check the phone physically, I think it is one of the first phones with factory defects. I can see that the top back part is not fitted to the glass. You can even see it moving closer if you press it towards each. I don't know if the hardware and software are connected, I hope not. I can't give it back to be replaced because there's no visible defects. Just hoping the next update can fix the main issue.
After plugging the device to pc go to device manager and remove xperia z3. Then scan for new hardware. Then it will download the driver for your device automatically and your device would be visible in PC.
I m doing this every time I connect my z3 with laptop.
Anyone else have any permanent and better solution?
A pop up on my pc says Driver installation failed or something like that.. But thanks to you, you remind me having the same problem with my old Xperia Play. The key is the "usb debugging mode" box should be checked. To do that, go to settings =>about=>build number.. Tap it several times until the developer options will come visible at the settings and there you go. You can now connect via mtp mode. Btw, you can hide the developer options again for some oc reasons by going to apps=>all=>settings then clear the data.

[Q] Broken display - no debugging... Help accessing please!

Hi all, can anyone help? I smashed my phone at the weekend and really want to get back in to it if only to turn on contacts sync and see who keeps texting me, but for some reason USB debugging isn't on. Phone is stock.
Plugging in with USB = recognised in device manager as Xperia Z3. I've tried to download Android SDK, and install the USB drivers from the Sony website (says best driver already installed - the ones from the Sony website don't have any kind of installation program so not sure what I'm supposed to do with them!).
I know this isn't easy but can anyone guide me through getting in to it and getting USB debugging on so I can use Android Control? It seems I need to get the phone in to recovery mode so that it automatically enables USB debugging? If I hold down power/volume up a few times or in a weird combination, the LED goes blue and the phone comes up in device manager as 's1boot' and then 's1boot fastboot'. I've tried installing the drivers I've found from DooMLoRD but they don't help me access the phone at all, it still says unable to find the device. adb devices from the adb folder command prompt says no devices (i presume because USB debugging still disabled). I feel like I have made progress but need a bit more progress still to get in, if it is at all possible!
New thread because I can't find anyone with a Sony Xperia Z3 trying this, with the same steps taken/blue LED etc.
USB OTG+ USB mouse
Try to use USB OTG+USB mouse, that did the trick for me
no display whatsoever... so having a mouse isn't going to help me sadly! unless i can get the screen displayed on a computer monitor or something?

Can't get usb debugging working

Phone is rooted and on android 10 and xxxnolimits installed
I connected phone to pc and only charging. Tried 3 different cables, including official one and 3 different USB ports and not showing on pc. I can hear noise it's connected to pc but then another noise to disconnect
Usb debugging is enabled and default usb configuration I can change to file transfer, usb tethering , midi, ptp & no data transfer. I changed it to each of them still not showing
There is no option to choose mtb from drop down notification no notification is there
I rebooted phone and pc and cleared cache. Also i app settings allowed notifications.
I'm at the end of my tether trying to figure out what issue is as was working previously.
Now all its doing is charging
Any suggestions

Do you have the latest fastboot-adb platform tools installed? Just a thought.
Will check
However usb notification drop down not coming up on phone to change settings when I plug phone into port.
Also plugged phone into USB port of car for android auto and not picking it up
If I restore a backup would that be worth trying or does issue seems to be with usb port on phone?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling usb google drivers on your pc ( or your appropriate driver's for your phone).
Install OEM USB drivers | Android Studio | Android Developers
Discover links to the web sites for several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), where you can download the appropriate USB driver for your device.
