Connecting via USB or Kies not working

Hello.. i downloaded and installed Darky's rom on my Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 it maybe isn't associated with Darky's rom because it worked after applying it.. but as of few days back i'm unable to get mass storage connection, nor Kies recognizes my Galaxy..
when i click mass storage on Galaxy, and click 'Connect USB storage' i can hear sound it's recognized on my pc, but two drives do not appear on my Windows 7 and i'm unable to do anything!
i tried mount unmount external sd card, i tried debugging usb mode, nothing helped. i downloaded, installed and uninstalled latest Kies, nothing works. Please help!

anyone? ......

Remove Kies and all Samsung driver s reinstall .
Backup data and factory reset .
Remove deadly rom .
jje

I've had problems in the past with crap aftermarket data cables. I never have a problem connecting with the stock issue one. But even then, if you hit the install driver button in the tools section, complete the install and unplug and replug the cable, this can also help connecting with the aftermarket ones.
And I know this may sound dumb, but did you uncheck the USB debugging and put it on the home screen? Just a thought.

usb cable works. i tried factory reset and reinstalling kies.. it appears all drivers are ok as shown in screenshot:

}
however, i'm still unable to remove my rom, and still cant access mass storage mode. it's not working with kies either ..
HELP!

come one guys

I have the same problem, nothing on google that helps

try using the stock launcher, not the one from darky's
since kies won't be able to connect if there are some other processes running in the background
let me know if it works
edit:
im running Darky's 10.1 and i just connected on kies using the stock launcher as i suggested
just force stop "launcher" and start using TWLauncher, afterwards you will be able to use Kies
Cheers!

thanks for the reply,
In the end it worked, I just had to disable / enable the phone from the devise management...
like this
"
Start Kies, put phone's USB settings in Kies mode. Connect your phone to the PC. Wait until MTP App show "Connected". Go to your PC's Device manager, find Portable Devices and select Disable on GT-I9000. Do not wait for the disabling process to be completed, just disconnect the USB cable. Now connect the USB cable again, wait the MTP App on the phone to show you the message "Connected" and choose Enable on GT-I9000 in Device Manager. After a few seconds your phone should be ready in Kies
"
PS: found the answer on this forum...

Problem with MTP-USB Driver

Kies won't install the MTP-USB Driver on my computer. There's always a warning "driver software wasn't installed". It works neighter on W7 nor on XP.

When I connect my phone with USB-Debugging enabled I get a message from Kies: "Reconnect your device in the Samsung Kies-(PC Studio)-mode again. The current connecting mode is not supported by Kies."

I'm sure you have already tried this....but have you plugged the usb cable into a different slot? preferably one at the back of the Pc. My phone wont sync with Kies if I have it connected to the front slots.

Still doesn't work.

Open kies.
Instal drivers from the menu.
Wait until it says complete. A couple of times it did not bring up the instal dialogue box. Keep trying until it says drivers installed.
It will then work. I had this problem on both xp and win 7. This sorted it.

It installs the drivers. The problem is, once I uncheck the USB debug mode and reconnect the phone it installs the drivers again and fails.

Plug your phone into the PC, turn off USB debugging & select USB tethering. See if it installs the driver that way. Also do this while your PC is connected to the internet, when/if it fails leave it plugged in the PC and check windows update to see if you need to download an update for the drivers.

Still doesn't work. I did a Windows Update.
Gerät entfernt means device removed and Fehlgeschlagen means failed.

Guys its simple.....i was also facing this problem. just unchecked USB debugging mode....and try to connect again. Its Done.

Another useless thread...

PC don't recognize Galaxy device - please help

Hello,
I own a Galaxy s4 i9505G android 4.3 stock, normal, no changes and nothing special.
My problem is that whenever I try to connect it to a computer (running Win 7) via USB cable - it won't get recognized and nothing will happen...
It will however charge the device - so the problem is not in the cable or something...
I looked up soo many guides on how to fix this problem, most of them told me to try and reinstalling the samsung drivers manually - no success I even tried uninstalling existing drivers (as suggested somewhere...) - still, nothing happens... - tried to connect it to a different pc- same problem...
Any1 has any ideas? - I'm really desperate and its REALLY annoying that I can't do ANYTHING that has to do with connecting my phone to my computer...
Please help, Thanks in advanced.
EDIT - FIXED
check my other post down below to see what worked for me! GL!

have you figured out what is the problem?
happened to me today and still searching for answer.
i try different cable, different computer, connect it and nothing happen, my s4 9500 only charging.
but screen mirroring to tv using mhl still working.
im afraid if the micro usb socket inside the phone is damaged.
if that is the problem im screwed because my bootloader isnt official anymore and i wonder if i still can claim for warranty.

Did you try to uninstall/install the usb driver?

just now what i did
1. go to storage > unmount sd card
2. turn off phone, pull out external sd card
3. turn on phone, unlock screen, connect to pc
4. now my pc recognise my s4 and installing driver (weird my driver is already installed, i never uninstall it)
5. turn off phone, put back external sd.
6. now problem solved.
(you can try unmount, then mount again, connect to pc see if that works without pulling out sd card and shutting off your phone)
thank god its not the micro usb port.
now i can sleep peacefully.

Finally found a solution for me!
HEY EVERY1! I know it's kind of bumping this thread but I wanted to share with you what worked for me!
If you are having the same problem: when you plug the phone to your PC it charges but nothing happens - check to see if you have the MTP even showing up! - thats what happend to me - it wasn't a driver problem - it was that the mtp service just didn't start when I connected it to the pc.
the solution to this (what worked for me)is:
1. Open up the dialer
2. type in: *#0808#
3. a screen will pop up with a list:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. now for me, the MTP option wasn't enabled for some reason (nothing was enabled except the USB part)
5. just tap on the MTP option and press OK and it should appear when you connect the phone to the computer and install the drivers automatically if you don't have them already
~DISCLAIMER!~
I'm NO expert - I barely have knowledge about the android OS - I simply learned a little bit and have a brain to read and connect the dots - I just want to share what I found out through digging up knowledge around...
This worked for me on a google edition galaxy s4 - stock android 4.3 - no changes to ANYTHING whatsoever...
This is just my second post here - I really like this forum and I'm starting to learn a lot
Hope it helped! Good luck everyone!

Right click - uninstall, reboot, reinstall drivers.

Same problem here!
My G2 is recently updated to 4.4.2.
I have tried on several computers, different ports and no help.
On the first connection to a PC not connected before windows reports "USB device not recognized" problem.
After that every time I connect the phone to the same computer the phone itself only recognizes that it is using USB charging mode, it does not recognize the computer connection (known by the USB icon on android system tray) even with "Ask upon connection option checked".
Even when I manualy change the Android mode in Settings --> PC Connection from MTP to PTP or even LG software, nothing happens.
Definitely there seems to be a problem with the phone, but I don't believe it's a software but a firmware problem.
Please help if anyone knows what to do.

How to fix my GT-S5360

About 5 months ago, I installed the Hyperion ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457022) on my phone, and I had no problems wit it. Yesterday, I decided to install the Lenox Evolution V2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462914), and I must have installed it incorrectly, because now my phone appears to have no ROM. It won't let me access recovery mode, only download mode, and Odin won't recognize the device. Is there any way for me to fix my phone?

Download USB driviers from internet and try to change the cable or port.
if not working send it to a repair center

There is no reason that odin won't recognise your device unless you have not installed the proper drivers. Search Web for Samsung adb drivers and install them.

Did it recognize the device in the past? Odin shouldn't be depended on Kernel/Rom, as long as you have the correct drivers.
Here is a good albeit slightly outdated guide (just use the up to date versions).

Normally, when I want to access the files on my phone, I take out the memory card and use a card reader to access my files.So, I don't know if this has always been the case or not.

Okay, good to know ^^.
Did you shut down all KEIS processes before starting Odin?
Which version of Odin are you using?
I've problems when using a version > 3.09, so maybe "downgrade" and use an older version.
Another possible problem: defective cable. I've heard that Odin may be a bit picky even if the cables connects fine under windows.

I too have the same problem ..... I ve tried everythng ...bt it is not at all recognized ... Bt earlier.. I ve twice flashed using odin...

Might be a problem with your pc try on a different one once.
And make sure you are not using a hub or an usb extender.

Uninstall/reinstall drivers/KIES.
Use Windows XP/7
If you have the possibility: Try the process in a VM.

U can connect usb in deffrent port
And u can Get latest version of keis on the pc /u might need to remove any usb drviers like said before
If win 8/8.1
Run installation on prems of Admins
And compatiblty of win 7
If win 7 just run as admin

Try to use odin v1.85 connect phone to pc w/o the battery, then insert the battery while holding the volume down and home key

Thank you for all your help @mohamedrashad @Souroking @KaffeeKiffer @myaservip @epipok
I managed to get my phone working again! :victory:
I uninstalled Kies and drivers, re-installed Kies and drivers, and connect in different USB ports until it worked. I think the problem was to do with the drivers not being correctly installed (maybe the installation process was terminated before completion?)
Thank you again for everything! :smile:
