[Q] USB not recognized

Hi all,
My Droid charge decided to do something weird today; it no longer will USB mount! This problem is particularly bad because, while I can put the phone in download mode, my computer will not recognize the USB and ODIN (1.2 & 1.8) cannot wipe the phone.
Any suggestions? I really need my phone back, but I'm not sure what to do.
Tried reinstalling the USB Samsung Drivers, using the original data cable, and two different computers (Win7). SD card will mount in an external drive (aka without the phone), and the phone will charge via USB. I have the most recent form of CWM on it, and the EP4P debloated and rooted rom.
Thanks,
frak

That happened to me a while back. Mine had the added bonus of going into desk dock mode and staying there. It was a hardware issue with the USB port. It would charge, but nothing else. Mine did become intermittent though, and cycling the cable in and out seemed to help it some, but ultimately, I had to send it in for replacement

What cable are you using? I accidentally grabbed my charging-only cable the other day and didn't realized it only had the wires for positive and negative. No data pins.
Is it the cable that came with your Droid?

Another thread similar. Check it out and try some.

Had that yesterday. A different port worked fine for me. Maybe a couple of power cycles will do the trick.

[Q] Flashing via Odin problems

Trying to flash via Odin on my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 YP-G1, only problem is the device isn't recognized by Odin in download mode, only when the device is booted and on home screen does Odin com port pick up the device. I've tried everything except starting Odin on the home screen. USB Debugging is enabled, device is rooted,re-installed device drivers, tried multiple USB ports on my computer, etc... Nothing I've tried will allow Odin to see my device in download mode. I'm out of ideas, anyone have a suggestion?

Try a different version of Odin?

Each USB port on your computer will show as a different COM port. Go into Device Manager when the phone is connected and see which COM port the phone is on. Set Odin to use that port.

Root on froyo without connecting usb?

So I have a Galaxy S 4G that I can not get to be recognized by my computer via USB. It charges fine but always get "USB device not recognized". It's on stock froyo and I have tried several cables and computers as well as versions of drivers so I assume it's a faulty usb port on the phone.
I looked at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
And it seems that it was possible to flash cwm from recovery and then flash a custom kernel that gave root access? But links have been removed and thread closed and replaced by one that requires gingerbread. Does anyone know of any way to root on froyo without usb cable? or have the files that were removed from the thread above?

Any suggestions at all?

Fix your USB port.

try heimdall?

Visit your local library and use a computer there to root. Having fun isn't hard when you got a library card.

Most free-to-the-public computers are so locked down that I doubt he'll be able to get drivers installed.

The ones in smaller towns usually aren't, or their security is easily bypassed with ctrl-alt-delete or similar combinations

thanks for the responses but it seems that I need to clarify that it looks like it's the usb port on the phone that is defective and not the computer. My Galaxy s3 and tab 7.7 connects just fine with odin using same computers and drivers that I can't get to recognize this phone.
And yes I did try heimdall but since the computer does not see the phone heimdall won't either
Nothing else I can do to get root? I would not mind about being stuck on froyo I just need root to install vodoo sound.

^ How do you charge your phone if your USB port is busted?
If it is charging well, then I suspect there is a conflict in drivers.

If the power and ground pins are active, it will charge, but if the data +/- pins arent' connected, you can charge but not transmit data. My USB cord did that to me, will charge, but won't show "usb mode" to connect for usb storage. Thought it was the rom, flashed 4 times, realized the cord must have a break in the VCC+/- wires.

[Q] Phone won't connect to Odin

I had to install the 4.3 firmware on my S3 since it got soft-bricked, but it seems that even though I installed the Samsung USB Drivers and installed Odin, my phone won't connect to Odin. I tried using different charging wires and different USB ports, and that doesn't work either. Even my friend's phone, which was an S3 as well, managed to connect to Odin with the same charging wires. Is it something to do with my phone? I need help with this.

My S3 updated to 4.3 (locked bootloader) and I can't make it connect via USB, it won't connect. I've tried everything, every link I can find, reghacks, drivers (countless installs/etc). I know what I'm doing, I've been using computers longer than a lot of posters here have been alive.
The thing is the device isn't telling the PC what type of Hardware it is, let alone the PC having drivers. I actually think my phone is toast - I'm glad it still charges and you can (if you're not rooted) root via Towelroot without a PC.
Good luck.

Gear 2 not showing in Odin

Hi
My Gear 2 does not connect to Windows or Odin. I installed an Android OS on the watch, it didn't work smoothly and I decided to revert back to the original OS.
1.) I have downloaded the latest Samsung USB Composite drivers;
2.) I have tried various cables and ports;
3.) Tried the same on other pc's.
With the one cable and only one specific USB port, I get like a 5 second connection in Odin, but as soon as I select the AP file, the connection is lost. Any help will be appreciated.

I'm trying to do the same. I guess it's too old to be recognized by anything now. Lol
