Hi there...
A quick question about the USB...
Is is at all possible to have a USB-port that can still charge the phone, but at the same time is "dead" when you try to connect the phone to the computer ??
I have also asked about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179171
The story is that the Phone (SonyEricsson X10i) can be charged fine, but when i connect it to the computer, my computer say that the hardware is not recognized, nomatter if it is in flash-mode, mounted from recovery or in the normal way.
And the phone don´t even show anything about USB connection in the status bar eigther.
I have tried 5 different computers now, and 2 different usb cables.
I have also a X10 mini and a Desire HD that works fine on all the computers and both cables.
I have tried to remove software, remove drivers, clean computers, reboot, check the memory-card in the phone, install software and drivers and all other things i can think off...
It is two windows 7 and three windows XP computers btw.
So is it at all possible that the phone can still be charged, but data-connection fail ?
As i see it, there must be some kind of data-exchange or else the computers would not even say "hardware not recognized"...?!?
I'm not quite sure I understood your question correctly, but let's see if this helps:
I used to have phone that didn't have drivers for Windows I used at the time (I think it was Windows 7). That meant that Windows wouldn't recognize it (when plugged via USB cable) and will not therefore provide power to that USB port (hence the phone will not charge).
I was able to get around the problem by going to the device manager, locating the relevant "unknown device" and force installing some random drivers for it -- I don't even remember what it was that I picked -- something that Windows would allow me to do. Of course the port wouldn't work as a data connection like this, but since Windows now 'knew' the device, it powered the USB port and I was able to charge my phone from it.
My problem is that I actually can charge the phone ok...
But I am not able to make a data connection between the computer and the phone at all...
My question is then, if the usb connector in my phone can somehow be broken even though I am still able to charge the phone...?

I'm fairly sure that yes, the contacts or the controller can be broken so that you can still charge but be unable to establish data connection.
Yes I know some will say install drivers or slide down the notifications.
But the problem is when I plug in, there isn't any notification for you to switch to disk drive mode.
Everything was working fine last week. There was no problems detecting my phone on my home and any PC at work. I have drivers install in my computer and can do adb commands
But now, when I plug in, it only shows the charging light.
I have done the following
On and off the USB debug option
Reboot phone
Try a 4 micro USB cable
Tried different USB slots on the computers
Use usbdeview and delete all HTC drivers and resinstall also not working
Remove my micro SD card and reinsert.
All doesn't work.
Strangely, one thing does. When I plug in the PC and I need to reboot, with my phone still plug in my PC. The notification will appear and I can do all things normally. But once I unplug and plug in again, same problem. Only can be solved with next reboot with phone plug in before hand. If windows is already loaded, it cannot be detected.
I though it was the rom. But I went to boot loader and same thing. It shows fastboot AC. If I do the reboot windows method, it will show fastboot USB .. will show fastboot AC if I replug in
I am starting to think my USB port on my phone is faulty.. any ideas?
Try plugging it and wait for a long time. Since I formated my computer it takes like 10-15min for my phone to show up after I plugged it. No idea what's causing it though.
Done that , charged it for 1hr plus, same
Best thing is try different cable, there is some issue with htc cable your pc sometime dont recognize phone, Other thing you can do it is keep ur phone connected to pc then boot your phone to Hboot or bootloader or fast boot, your pc will recognize your phone with generic driver.

hmm tried 4 cables.. same results..
Using the same cable, tried my mum's desireHD.. no problems detecting the USB each time..
Bootloader mode, it shows Fastboot AC
instead of Fastboot USB.. unless reboot my windows..
Oh i tired another micro SD card, same results.. :/
why mess with cables... AirDroid.
connect your phone to the pc via wifi.
direct link to the market: goo.gl/9YG73
but if you must connect via cable for something... have you checked the most obvious place? (sounds like you probably have but just in case...)
settings > connect to pc > default connection type

it cant even be detected, no notifications mate..
Flashed ROM......
Mine is doing the same thing. It didn't start until I flashed the new ROM. When in Windows, I just un-plug it, and re-plug it. Then it shows up immediately. But it always seems to show in flashboot.

and if that isn't working try it with HTC sync. which gives you the drivers of the device.
I got the same problem... any idea...
please help me..
Is there where USB cannot be recognized issue? If this is, I have a simple solution which took me forever to figure out.
I know this method sounds ridiculous, but give it a try. Unplug your charger connected to your computer/laptop and plug it in to a different outlet. Replug the USB with your phone connected, give it a sec, and it should work.
what operating system is your PC running? I was gonna say perhaps it might be a faulty USB port...
i have the same problem
What I do is go to devices and printers and then android phone then properties then hardware and disable the reenable the drivers. As soon as you reenable the drivers it should show up in disk mode. Hope this helps. This is the only phone I've had this problem with.
I upgraded to Sky-ICS RC7.4 Speed yesterday and today. Obviously the USB mass storage was working earlier because I got the .zip file for the upgrade on the phone. Well, just a little while ago I tried to connect so I could pull those zip files off just to save some room and it won't connect.
I can charge the phone, the laptop(Windows 7) and the phone both make sound/vibrate when connected. BUT, with I go to "Connect storage to PC" it tells me to unplug the cable, which it hasn't before but I did it anyway. I unplug the cable press the connect button again it states to connect the cable, I do. Press the button to connect and I get the same result. I've tried enable USB debugging and try again and it states to disable, blah blah blah.
It's great that I can charge the phone via USB all day long but really sucky that I can't access any of my files via my laptop.
Anyone had this issue or know of any fixes that may alleviate this issue? I sure would appreciate your help.
FYI, USB drivers are installed on the laptop and reapplied after the the issue of not being able to connect USB mass storage...
update: I am able to see the two mounts in computer management on my Windows 7 machine but not able to access them through My Computer.
I was reading from other threads about a possible Windows issue, how I find it unlikely, but I did a system restore from an earlier date and that made no difference. It's still a matter of the phone connecting completely to the pc.
Also tried different ports and usb cables, no avail.
I could really use some input so that if need be I can access the files on the phone to either flash back to stock or at least modify the files I have on there now to let me be able to attach my mass storage. I'm liking the the rom it's just a few little things like this that are making me completely love it.
i have the same issue if i plug in to the front usb ports. no problems with the back and its only been since i updated to seans latest speed stripped ICS rom
I was having the same issues. I turned the phone off, took the battery out, and then restarted it. It worked.

Correct; you need to reboot your phone because you probably connected / disconnected too fast and the phone is bugged out now.
I'm on 7.4 speed stripped and its working fine for me. Did you try installing the Samsung USB drivers exe in the dev forum?
Wont connect even on tablet
This is My also Case on my tablet. i cant connect to usb mass storage please help me what to do. icant remove the battery of my tablet and i only open it after 5 hrs so how?

I have a note 2 I currently use- when I plug the usb in - in windows 7 I get the option to view files etc....
I just bought a used sprint galaxy s5 from my ol ladys sister who had it hooked up at one of those corner wireless shops.
I want to root it but read to make sure your pc recognizes it first- which it does not.
Ive downloaded the latest usb drivers for the phone.
Ive enabled debugging mode.
Ive used the original supplied cord and also tried my note 2 cord.
When I plug it in it recognizes it and detects drivers but the phone does not show up under my computer and I dont get the window popup asking if I want to view files etc.
Getting really frustrated.
Any ideas?

When I plug the s5 into my pc and pull down the notification bar ...it doesnt even show usb connected.
I cant find any usb options other than usb debugging.
I just went through all this same crap with a galaxy mega a buddy had.
I just dont get why there is no "usb connected as" notification and why this is so complicated to connect to pc when my note connects fine
Bad cable? Maybe Bad Drivers? Where did you download them from? Windows is going to try to recognize it as a media device. Ill give you a couple tips
Just because the "popup window" doesnt popup, you probably just have auto play set to recognize it a certain way.
Just copy and paste this into your explorer window:
%windir%\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.AutoPlay
and then reset it for your phone.
Also.
1. Make sure the cable is actually connecting, like charging the phone, consistantly, not on and off. If it is, then you know thats good, if not, switch the usb drive you have the cable plugged into. USB Ports actually on the motherboard are the ones Ive always had luck with never disconnecting.
2. If you want to root your phone, and you want the adb drivers, Windows wont find those for you.
Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded the drivers straight from the windows usb driver dowload page for my phone from samsung.
Ive uninstalled reboot,installed rebooted.
Ive set usb debugging off/on.
Tried dialling *#0808# which ive read is the code to enable usb but it doest work it just calls the #.
Tried all my moyherboard usb ports
Tried different cable
The original cable charges fine.
This sg5 NEVER has a usb icon when connected to usb... i find that odd.
A samsung mega a buddy had which was also previously hooked up at the same wireless shop that this s5 was..... also has the same exact issue.... no usb icon and not recognised as media by windows and no way to change usb settings.
Its like that wireless shop disabled usb on there phones for some reason.
I had the phone 2 weeks and cant do anything with it untill I can root it.
My note 2 works fine , i get usb icon in notification area,i can switch to media device from there.
On the sg5 theres no usb icon even though it connects fine to the pc as installer

Maybe Im misunderstanding you, but when I have my phone plugged into my pc there is no usb icon, its just connected as a media device and shows its charging. Both screenshots are of my phone while its plugged into my computer
When you plug it into your computer can you access the files on the phone through your windows explorer, like in the first screenshot?
Thanks for replying and the screenshots.
When my phone is plugged into the computer it shows the charging status but no "connected as media device" it doesnt show a connected as anything so nothing to touch for options.
The phone does not show up under windows explorer in my computer.
Ive been using galaxy phones since the original galaxy and never had issues like this.
I just dont get it
I'm similar issues...my phone will just time out in the middle of transfers or won't see the phone at all
Both of your issues sound like driver issues. Heres the link from Samsung for Windows for the S5
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G900PZKASPR
To make this issue stranger....
My neighbor came over to borrow juice for her ecig. I noticed she has an s5.
I ask if i can connect it to my computer and as soon as I plug it in with my s5 cable...bam ...connected as media device , touch for usb options.
And my computer brought up the screen to view files.
So i now know its not my pc,drivers, or cables.
I did however notice when I plugged my s5 in.... in the notification area where it would say touch for usb options.
It says "system update"
But i have no sim or service on the phone so it doesnt update.
Could the system update be needed for the usb to work?
How would i even update system ?its nolonger on sprint. I wouldnt want any more over the air updates anyway as im wanted to root so i can save a straight talk apn and probablly flash a custom rom
Yea... this is nuts.
This sprint s5 i got looks and performs like a brand new phone.
But cannot for the life of me get "connected as ......" to show when a usb is plugged in. When i search settings for "pc connection" , "media" , mtp" , usb" etc.....
Theres nothing I can find to enable how to connect when usb is connected.
I dont even know who or where to ask anymore.
Bought this phone weeks ago and cant do anything with it.
My neighbors s5 connects to my pc no problems. So does my note 2.
I just dont know anymore what else to do
i dont see where not having a sim would matter. does the usb port on your phone seem loose or anything? do you have access to another pc to try connecting to that?
ultimately you can get around most things that require needing a usb connection. theres even a wireless adb.
i doubt this will work either, but have you tried seeing if odin will recognize the phone in download mode? (power off the phone and press the power+home+volume down buttons)
also what version of android is on the phone now? if its still on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 then you might want to look into towelroot, but i think i remember reading thats not working with 5.0
as for rooting, you could try looking for a flashable update.zip , put it on a external sd card, put that in your phone and boot into recovery (power off the phone and press the power+home+volume up buttons) and flash it, then find a custom recovery like clockworkmod or philz touch or something
all in all im 99% sure theres a way to root the phone without having to do anything on a pc, its just a matter of finding a way to do it, and the before choosing a method to tell you to try, i need to know the android version. also im just assuming the model number is SM-G900P, is that right?
Go into your settings and tell me the
Software Version
Model Number
Android Version
and the Baseband Version
once factory reset...usb works fine.
Im now rooted and flashed MOAR
thanks for all who tried to help
Glad you got it figured out
As the title states, my phone is no longer being recognized by my computer when I plug it in. I've tried multiple cables, multiple ports on the computer, both ports on the phone, factory resetting the phone, uninstalling and re-installing drivers on my computer, booting to Ubuntu so I wouldn't need to worry about drivers. Nothing has worked. I'm not even getting the USB prompt on my phone when I plug it in. It DOES charge but I'm not able to transfer files, adb or anything. ASUS wants me to send the phone in but I don't want to go who knows how long without my phone, plus I don't think it's right that I have to pay to ship it when it's their phone that is ****ting the bed. Could anyone PLEASE help me? Thanks.

If your phone won't connect to the computer using the USB cable, then the FIRST thing most people do you've done, which is switch cables and rebooting the phone (factory reset is extreme but you did that also).
The second thing most people do is install the manufacturer's drivers, which you also did.
The third thing you can do though, is connect the phone to the computer WITHOUT the USB cable (i.e., over Wi-Fi) because that will work even if your phone port is broken and even if the USB cables are bad and even if the drivers aren't on the computer.
Below are screenshots of just some of the ways to connect the phone to the computer over Wi-Fi without any cables, and if you want, you can follow one of my tutorials on the subject.
Hope this helps.

Would I still be able to adb using the wifi method? My main issue is trying to remove the old Google Pay app. Which I'm unable to unless it's through adb.
Just an update. I was, in fact, able to run adb commands while connected using wi-fi. Thank you @GalaxyA325G for your input.

Not sure what to tell you about your signal dropping, but
is the video I used to finally use adb via WiFi.
Have you tried clearing the adb authorizations (in developer options) with the phone disconnected and then connecting? Sometimes a change can trigger the phone to stop recognizing the computer as allowed without treating it as a new connection.
