This is a new problem for me.
After successfully sorting out all the troubles of connecting SGS to KIES, and been using it happily for almost a month, now I'm facing another trouble which is quite big this time.
Windows Vista (32-bit) and Windows 7 (64-bit) are now can't recognize the phone when connected through the USB. Got a message says the USB Device/Hardware Is Not Recognized.
I'm using the SGS original cable. The cable was working perfectly and now suddenly it doesn't work in data mode but still able to recharge the phone battery.
Am I having a cable problem? Or worst, the USB connector (on the phone) problem? I tried to clean the USB connector on the phone but still can't connect the phone to my computers.
Does anybody here having the same problem as well?
I just gave up with my PC, same problem
In then end I set up a VMware XP machine to sync
Else I use my laptop
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
I sometimes have a problem with KIES detecting my phone. What I sometimes have to do is connect the phone with KIES loaded, go to device manager, show hidden devices then uninstall the phone (sometimes has error on device, sometimes not) then disconnect then reconnect phone.
Such a faff but using KIES to check for firmware update lol
This may not help ya but worth a thought, Im on Win7 64
I did not have any problem connecting the phone to KIES, I was able to upgrade the firmware from JF4 to JG4, and been a happy SGS owner for a month now.
But yesterday I suddenly can't connect the phone to any computers. My laptop (Win Vista 32-bit) said that a USB device connected is not recognized. I reinstall Kies in my laptop and same thing happen. Then I switch to my PC (Win7 64-bit), USB device not recognized also appear. Reinstall Kies, still no luck.
What I just realized is that there is NO USB Indicator in the SGS notification bar!
Does that mean that the USB connector on the phone going bad?
I still able to recharge the battery but the USB icon dont show up.
I am now seriously considering the quality of Samsung Galaxy S! Way too much problems for average owner, and even for savvy owners this is just over the top!
What should I do now?
Find another computer or install VMWear and see once and for all if its your phone at fault. Also worst case do a factory reset. If no go then you might have a hardware problem. You could always try Mass Storage mode and see if you can mount the phone as external drive. Its not really the phones fault but I would say its KIES, its just a piece of ****. I have never been able to connect to it using 3 computers and I would say I know what i'm doing since I work in i.t. Also did you replace your Launcher recently? As KIES needs TouchWhiz as default launcher to work
I just tried to connect SGS to another laptop (Win XP 32-bit SP3, no KIES though). Same thing, the USB device is not recognized baloon show up and no USB indicator in the SGS status bar.
I'm going to Samsung Service Center, after calling them, they suggest me to bring the phone to the nearest Samsung Center. They said that this is not the first time and also said that the problem might be the connector or the cable.
have you read this ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8107646&postcount=50
Seems kies has a bug where it can't work with files with 16chrs or more.. Told ya KIES is a piece of ****
Yes, But did you try the Mass storage mode
Settings/About/USB
I always just use Mass Storage mode to xfer files. KIES is crap.
As I said previously, my SGS has no problem at all connecting to Kies. USB Mass storage is working perfectly as well.
The problem I'm having now is the hardware (the cable or the interface) I guess, since I still can recharge the phone using the charger or the USB cable.
ps. I'm using Kies from Australia, the 1.5.1.10083.
Have you looked at the pins on the phone? are they screwed? Can you somehow find or burrow another Mini-Usb cable to test ? I have heaps as some of my external hdd's use mini-usb but you might have to buy a new cable.
Try this.. I wrote this a while back.. It may help. I know you suspect it's hardware, but it might be worth trying anyway.

Thanks for the help guys!
It's purely hardware problem. Yesterday I brought it to local Samsung Service Center, and because they said this is not the first timer, the technician quickly open the device and gosh... dust and some fungus were collected near the microUSB port! I admit I never close the USB port, just left it open after use, my bad!
After some cleaning and testing, the microUSB is working again.
Now I'm a happy SGS user again!
but that doesn't explain how it works on one Windows (Win7) but not on another Windows (WinXP)

The SGS wasn't recognized in ALL Windows versions, since it was a hardware problem.
Now SGS is recognized in ALL Windows versions.
download "usbdeview" and delete the usb drivers for the specific device.

Massive problem, HD2 gurus please help me here:
HTC HD2 & WMDC & Win7 x64 = Not working.
I've downloaded WMDC x64 bit from Microsoft's official site, installed the app, plugged my phone in the USB port..... and nothing happens. Win7 x64 does not pick up the phone via any of my USB port (I've tried like 4 different USB ports already).
Here is the weird part, Windows doesn't even pick up the HD2 as an USB device. I doubled checked via Task manager, and nothing has been detected. I have scanned for new hardware via the device manager countless of times.
Nothing shows up, not in device manager, nor control panel. Having WMDC installed doesn't help either, the app simply doesn't recognise HD2 via USB cable. Even with WMDC uninstalled, Windows just can't detect my HD2, but when I plug my Nokia N97 in the same USB port, Win7 picks it up as a mass storage device straight away.
Basically the phone will only charge the battery from the USB port, and nothing else. Win7 x64 doesn't even flinch when I plug the phone in, nothing pops up, WMDC says no device is found. I've tried just about everything, googled a bit and it seems like I'm not the only one that's suffering from this problem.
Here is a list of all the possible solutions that I've tried :
Ran WMDC as system administrator

Had the same issue last night when I first tried to sync my HD2. Same issues, ended up being I needed to update the Bios on my motherboard. Ironically it worked after I plugged it in and failed the driver install. Then went to Device Manager and ran update driver for the picked up devices. Works like a champ now. Hope this helps in some way.

Somehow I doubt that I will need to update my motherboard's BIOS, as my PC picks up the Nokia N97 perfectly fine. Having said that, I'm busy dling my mobo's latest BIOS right now.
Will let you know how it works out.
Edit : Nope, just as I thought. Didn't rectify the problem, thanks for your advise though.
Okay, the BIOS update scared me for a second there. I didn't revert back to the default setting after the BIOS update, which made all the USB ports malfunction on my PC. I couldn't use the keyboard nor the mouse, but I solved that problem by clearing the CMOS with a jumper.
Anyway, that's not the problem... The PC still wouldn't reconise the HD2. What I have noticed is as soon as I plug my HD2 in the USB port, HD2 automatically runs the activesync.exe
Having said that, the PC still can't identify the HD2 as an USB device. Absolutely zero response from Windows 7 x64. I've been trying to rectify this problem for over 6 hours already. I have googled dozens of pages, tried just about every single solution (bar the formatting option, which I will leave it as the absolutel final resort).
Please, can someone help me.
Gentlemen, have any of you tried a usb hub?
For the heck of it, have you tried it on a different PC? Have you tried a different cable? I am not sure what cable the N97 uses. I apologize I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, just wanted to find out if it's the handset's micro USB connection problem.

Yes, I have tried it on two different laptops, both have Win7 x86 installed.
I didn't install WMDC, instead I just plugged the HD2 in the USB port, hoping that Windows will automatically download WMDC and install everything on it's own. But alas, no luck with that either. Laptop could not detect the phone via USB cable, nor Bluetooth.
EDIT : OMG, I think I found the solution. Thanks, N1M1TZ. You actually did help me by suggesting the switch of USB cables. Since the Nokia N97 works flawlessly on my PC via USB, and the fact that both the HD2 and N97 uses the microUSB format, I was able to get the HD2 hooked up to the laptop. So it seems like T-Mobile's HD2 USB cable is the culprit. Well, it's in the bin now, I'm gonna use N97's USB cable for both of my phones in the future.
I'm glad you got it working. I had the same issue with my usb cable. Went out and purchased a replacement cable and found this ReTrak USB to micro USB cable. I have used their cables for most of my stuff from patch cord to adapters instead of my cables getting tangled or tied up together. Here's their website for more info http://www.emergeretail.com/Default.aspx
Hi!
Ive got a big problem cause my Galaxy S just stopped being recognized by any PC. I dont know whats wrong, it just treats USB cable like it was a charger, PC doesnt detect anything neither does the phone. Its very strange since everything worked perfect for the last couple of weeks. I tried to connect it to a notebook i used to flash the phone a week ago and it has been turned off ever since so it cant be any driver related issue. Im afraid my micro-USB port is damaged but i have a custom firmware in it and since i cant reflash it the warranty isnt vaild ehh...
Any ideas?
THX
silly question...
Do you mount the phone via the status bar after you plug it in?
Thats the point - PC doesnt detect the phone AT ALL theres not even a sound that an USB device has been plugged in. The same thing in the phone it just starts charing it doesnt seem to know that its connnected to PC.
sounds like your PC mobo got the USB port fried.
try turning off the PC, unplug the power cord, wait for the energy to drain out, then turning it back on
my Windows 7 x64 some time does that, but it's not a hardware error
on yours it could either be a hardware dead, or the Windows gone Bezerk as usual
I tried different USB devices - other phones, pendrives and a printer and everything works fine except for the Galaxy S. The Samsungs USB cable also works fine with other phones..
I wrote to Samsung and they said to send them the device because its most probably damaged :\ Will they check the firmware version?
btw. as I said in the first post the phone doesnt work on my notebook as well
I wouldnt care so much about this because I can send files using ftp but I cant change the firmware without an USB port working (or am I wrong?)
I sometimes also have this problem. For me rebooting the phone and if it then doesn't work again using another USB port at my PC solves the problem.
Yesterday when the problem occurred for the first time I removed SIM and microSD cards and PC detected a device but it was recognized as 'unknown malfunctioning USB device' but no luck ever since.
Just to let you know my Samsung just fixed itself 0_o Might have something to do with the Windows reinstallation on my PC but it suddely works on my notebook as well. Im really confused now...
Since upgrading the Galaxy S to 2.2.1 which I absolutely love - must faster than anything previous, sleek, really well done, I've just noticed for the first time that my USB doesn't seem to work.
The computer sometimes sees it but just says the device is malfunctioning, the phone sometimes sees the PC and gives a menu for "ask on connection", but Windows just does not know what this device is at all.
Suspect I may have to reinstall the drivers fully in Windows, remove it completely and try again, if it actually showed up as an unknown device in Device Manager.
I do need to try another PC and cable just in case, but this is what Im having at the moment in Windows:
USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.

You can find a link to the usb drivers in my signature.
I think its a little more problematic.

I've done a quick search on this. Hopefully this is as simple as doing a factory reset and format the internal sd.
If not, then Im off to a samsung service centre I think.
Any further thoughts?

Factory reset the phone, but the USB port still is not working. Charges fine, but don't connect over USB to the PC.
Can it be in debugging mode. Try to switch between mass storage and kies.
Probably you have checked that already..

the same problem from me i tried all but the usb is not working at all. I flashed kernel , i flashed rom but nothing .
Now i am looking to install untouched rom in order to give it to service but when i am trying to flash from recovery i get an error . Any suggestions?
This may sound dumb, but it could be the USB port acting up (loose connection). Try wriggling the cable around or use a different port.

Right, I've tried all available USB ports, two different computers, two different OS's. The phone just does not register a USB data connection. It only recognises AC charging according to the logs.
I think I have a broken USB port on the phone as if I jam the connector in at an angle on the phone, it sometimes registers the data connection but its far too unreliable.
Development mode don't work, Kies, Mass Storage etc... anything. Nothing works.
Factory reset doesn't make it work.
I can't even flash a new ROM as the phone is not detected in download mode.
I've got the phone booked in at a Samsung Service Centre now. I've seen a few webpages referencing corrosion. I tell you what though, this phone has been protected way way more than my old N97. I've had so many phones and not one has suffered from "corrosion". So let them just try and say it's my fault. Im ready for em.

Try cleaning your phone usb port. A guy named omersak had the same problem, and he had solved it. Search for the thread started by him, and how he has solved it.
I hope you can solve it without going to the service centre. And good luck.

Definitely trying that first - thank you to all the people that have been doing the investigation.
It sounds to me like Samsung have got a bad batch of USB connectors that should be replaced under a factory recall.
I don't use mine in a shower, or sauna, or anything like that, I don't even use it in the rain.
The closest it gets to any humidity is being in my shirt pocket from time to time.
Im going to get some meths or something like that and some thin paper and see what I can do with that. Im just off to Homebase!
there are similar problems on the galaxy 3 series where usb suddenly stops working. the following solutions seem to work there:
1. dial *#7284# to open "PhoneUtil"
2. in USB section, switch to modem, and then switch back to PDA
if that doesn't work: reboot into recovery and select "wipe cache partition"
*hth*
I've tried both of those before I start splashing the methylated spirit around. Still no joy.
Wipe Cache don't work, as well as wipe data/format sd/restore factory defaults etc.
I think I've got a 100% hardware fault.
@OP,
I am terribly sorry about your case. Looks like you need to make that trip to the service centre.
At least you have tried out every possible means known.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Also tried the meths. No good. :-(
The USB just started working yesterday. Still a bit intermittent, but when it gets a connection, it maintains a connection.
I've just ordered some isopropyl and a gold plated USB connector to be on the safe side
Hi everyone,
To sdjean: maybe you could read the post I sent a few minutes ago:

It might explain why your usb data connection does not always work ...

I have a Samsung GT-I9000B and I cant use it using USB.
I have 2 usb cables, I am able to find my friends phones.
Now I cant change rom cause odin cant find it too.
Alog cat shows:
E/MTPRx ( 4020 ) Battery charging. plugType = 1
E/MTPRx ( 4020 ) Not of USB charging. DOnt launch MTP APP
Any suggestion?
I'm not an Expert but 2 hints from me:
1. If you have'nt tried yet: Install usb-drivers on pc new and then connect your phone and wait until drivers are installed to your phone.
One times this way worked on my i9000.
2. Look for a zipped rom on xda which you can directly download and install from sd-card.
Sorry, I know my English is bad.

I am trying to install the Samsung Intercept (Virgin Mobile) on my Windows 7 netbook. I could never connect the device before to either WinXP or Win7. I recently factory reset my phone and after installing the drivers on WinXP, the phone showed that it was connected. I mounted the SD card to the computer and it never showed the drive. I unmounted and disconnected and since then it never connected. I keep getting that it's not recognized.
On my Win7 computer, I installed the drivers (had to force Windows to find the driver). Now the computer senses that it's connected, but it says "the device cannot be started". So I'm thinking that my P.O.S. phone can't figure out wtf USB mode is. It showed it once and that's it.
I've tried probably 3 or 4 different drivers and now I can't figure out how to just start clean. I don't even think I need to because the computer driver installed fine (It says Samsung USB Android whatever when it's connected). I tried with USB debugging on and off.
I even tried to make a virtual Windows XP to try it on a fresh install, but VM won't take unknown USB devices.
I uninstalled all my drivers, even the USB hub drivers, rebooted after the uninstall. No luck.
Before I reinstalled the hub I tried to force XP to the drivers (different ones not the same driver over and over) and now its saying "the file does not contain any information about this device". WTF?!
I'm so confused with this stupid driver that I can't take it anymore. I'm now considering reformatting my computer, but it's not worth it just to root a phone. I'd rather put up with my phone needing a battery pull at least once a day than to lose all my files.

I had the same issue too.
Have you tried using another USB cable? If you're using the cable that came with the phone it wont work (well sometimes). What you can do is find or buy another Micro USB cable for your intercept. You can buy one off amazon for less than $10. I brought mine from Best buy for $20. It works fantastically.

I was seriously considering another cable because I read in some other threads pretty much what you just told me, but I guess I was one of those "on the twelth time it finally connects" type of situations. I connected it last night and it worked. Just need to update my SDK stuff, make sure I have all my info for SuperOneClick, and cross my fingers lol!
Thank you for your advice. If it stops working I'm gettilng a new cable.
[EDIT] and it stopped working... I knew I should've just rooted when I had it connected, but I wanted to back my stuff up. Looks like I'm getting a new cable lol.

[EDIT] You were totally right! It's the cable. I got a Belkin for $15 at Target. I plugged it in and immediately Windows 7 Pro 32-bit detected the drivers, the handset, and installed it. Now time for rooting
I know it's been a couple of months, but I'm curious if you've had any other problems with connecting?
I was having the same problem and I had a few cables that I tried with no luck. I also tried my wife's Blackberry cable, which is a thicker cable that claims to be a "DATA" cable...no go.
I probably will just go buy the Belkin one you referred to if you've had no other problems.

I actually have had no problems (on my Win7 PC) since the install. As for my XP computer, I just gave up on trying to get it to work. Try completely uninstalling every instance of the Samsung programs (I went through my registry *dangerous*) and all things Android and reboot to a fresh power cycle (like with the phone) so Windows can update all its important files reguarding the driver removal. Then install and THEN plugin.
It literally randomly worked for me. I had the drivers installed properly, but the charging cord gave me "bad driver install". I didn't change a thing and plugged in wth the Belkin and was good to go.
Hope you can get it working! I know the anticipation of phone modding, and I love it! Lol!

Ditto, ditto and ditto! I have the same thing with my intercept, except I started on win7/64, could not get anything going. Then created an XP VM - over my dead body - no go.
Using the same cable, if I plug in my Captivate, everything comes up.
For you guys, when you bought a different cable, what did you buy? micro-to-micro USB? Or something else?
J
I usually use the cables that came with my HTC phones. Also I have better luck if I reboot the phone prior to connecting it to the PC.
Hi,
I'm having a real though time trying to connect my galaxy s1 to a pc. Have tried everything, like kies, direct connection, reseted the device, and no joy.
When I plug the cable it makes that sound as it is connecting but it doesn't show in the PC anywhere, nor even in Device manager.
It can get pwr from the usb cable when is connected; already tried with another cable and same thing.
My final goal is to unlock it.
thanks for any help

Hi there.
By direct connection you mean the USB Mass Storage mode, right?
It might be some weird, random problem with the samsung system drivers. I used to have such problems about two years ago, back in the days of Froyo. Have you tried re-installing them? There was a link to proper drivers file in one ICS installation tutorial, and those drivers can be downloaded here. If you go about trying this method, lemme know if it worked.
Cheers.
PS: Unlike diklooc there suggested, do not never EVER go back to x86 OS. That's the worst advice. Kapisch?
Did you check your usb port in System ?
Sometimes it stuck with another lastest device
Hi,
have tried everything, and finally only in a WinXP32 could be abble to get the error shown on the file atached.
But nothing (warnings) come up in Device Manager
Unninstalled everything (kies) and tried to install only the driver and nothing happens.
Should I try to mount it on a linux?
or is it dead?

Hi there - I don't have the same phone as you, but I did encounter the exact same problem. I've been searching around and it looks like the most common fix was to simply replace the cable. I don't know what kind of cable you have, but my phone (a Samsung Focus i917) uses a mini-usb connector. I found that my Amazon Kindle used the same connector.
When I was using the Samsung cable, I'd get intermittent connects and charge power. The OS would report unknown device. When I switched computer's = same result. I switched to my Kindle cable and the computer instantly recognized the device and installed the drivers. After 12 hours of troubleshooting, factory resetting my phone (blah - lost everything) it turned out to be the cable. I know that this isn't an easy troubleshooting step for most people, because who has an extra cable? I just got lucky that my Kindle uses the same connector. I'm now suspecting (due to the prevalence of this connectivity problem coming from people with Samsung phones - there are a LOT of reported issues) that there is probably a Samsung cable problem in general.
Good luck with your phone.

Tips and unlock advice.

Hi,
I'm having a real though time trying to connect my galaxy s1 to a pc. Have tried everything, like kies, direct connection, reseted the device, and no joy.
When I plug the cable it makes that sound as it is connecting but it doesn't show in the PC anywhere, nor even in Device manager.
It can get pwr from the usb cable when is connected; already tried with another cable and same thing.
My final goal is to unlock it.
thanks for any help

Nasdriver, I currently have a similar problem but mine is related with Samsung Kies as I can't get either my older SGS1 or my newer Samsung Nexus to get recognized by Kies. I also suspected the cable thing and even read it could be a USB port issue but neither of them was my problem (I have 3 cables and 8 ports on 2 computers that result in the same thing). I can connect other devices with the same cables and they work, so I suspect my problem is focused around the Samsung device drivers.
My advice is if you can go in a systematic manner, first focus on the cable (easiest to replace), if you get the same results with a new cable, then focus on the USB physical port, clean it with some Isopropyl alcohol, if the port works for other devices (camera, other phones, etc..) on the same cable but not with the SGS, then try reinstalling the samsung device drivers.
Oh, and if you want to unlock your phone, the EASY way is to download the Galaxy S Unlock application from the Android market (no affiliation) it's free (but the developer does accept donations) and it WORKS. I won't bore you with my 3 week journey trying to unlock my Bell SGS phone here in Canada, had I found this app first I would have done it in less then 2 min saved myself a LOT of frustration.
Good luck
