Cannot get my computer to recognize my phone when plugged in via USB(phone issue)

First off let me say hello to everyone! I have never posted here but do A LOT of lurking . Big ups to all the devs here. You have helped make my Fascinate 100 times better than it was out of the box. I post over at fascinate forums and posted this issue I have been having. If anyone can help out with this I would appreciate the hell out of it.
Running
Community Rom v 1.2 w/ stock kernel(WHICH IS AWESOME BY THE WAY! Best Rom I have ever used hands down!).
EnV Theme(which is equally awesome!)
Can not get my computer to recognize my phone via USB(phone issue)
So here is what happens.
My USB mount was working fine until last night. Now every time I connect my phone to my computer I get a message in the bottom right corner telling me windows does not recognize the USB device.
When I click the message I get this
USB Device Not Recognized
USB Root Hub
Unused
Unknown Device
When i click the unknown device I get this
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
This is not a computer issue...it is a phone issue. I have tried plugging my phone into 3 different computers, installed the drivers, and get the same issue every time. If it is an internal error there is nothing I can do because I can't Odin back to stock and take my phone in to Verizon.
Things I have tried
Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers multiple times, different drivers(generic and the ones from the samsung page), fixing the drivers, different USB ports, different USB cables, different rom, different kernel, re downloading drivers(both).
I cannot figure this out. If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.
:edit: My phone WILL charge when plugged into the USB.

p.s. Once my Pizza gets here I am going to attempt putting the phone into Download mode. I completely forgot to check if Odin would recognize it in DLM. If it does I am reverting back I am going to revert back to stock and have a rooting/flashing party by myself tonight(I have beers).

I'm sure your already aware to make sure your in usb debugging mode. mentioned it just incase.

Yes my phone is in debug and set to mass storage. I want to try a hard reset but don't want to be such with a stock fascinate if it doesn't work.

I had similar problem, and my Odin wouldn't work either.
Turned out to be some dirt in the usb port, cleaned it out with a scrap of paper with isopropyl alcohol. After a couple of cleanings, the PC recognized the device for the first time in 2 weeks. I am not the only one who has had physical problems with the usb port, search on it. The Fascinate seems to be fragile in this respect.
Of course, if your Odin detected the phone then its something else...
Good luck.

I had this exact problem and it was the USB cable for me
I didnt think of it initially cuz it would charge my phone fine
I went through every step over and over and even reformatted my entire PC
Then i grabbed by coworker's ATT captivate charger and everything worked fine...
so my suggestion is to find someone with a samsung OEM charger and see if that's your problem

I also think it has something to do with the USB port. I had the exact same issue and it ended up being dirt in the port on the phone

I had the same thing, would charge but computer wouldnt see it. Cleaned port with a little rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm.

My new phone will be here tomorrow. I ended up flashing ED01 with CWR and now have a fully stock fascinate ready to be sent back.
I haven't read this thread for awhile but I wish I would have tried the cleaning method before having to get a replacement phone in. Oh well...should be a fun re rooting a brand spankin new stock phone tomorrow

Well now I know what it was. I just got my new phone in. All was well.
Rooted to EF, Odin'd the EC01 radio, and flashed OTB 1.3 and was just setting everything up. I rebooted after flashing everything.
Then came the fast media scan hack. Guess what...my phone will no longer connect via USB after flashing that.
Does anyone know how to remove this? I can no longer Odin anything and I am pissed off right now.
p.s. not pissed off at anyone in particular...it's my problem for flashing not the devs...but seriously this sucks.

Re flashed the Rom, went into terminal emulator and restored the default media scanner, rebooted phone, rebooted computer, USB works fine.
Right after I flashed the fast media scanner I had the same problems I was having before...now everything is working just fine. Not trying to bust on adrenalyn or anything. Just reporting my experience with the fast media scan hack.

Cannot Get Computer To Recognize Phone
I tried installing the Anonymous ROM and got bricked. A friend of my was able to get it back to factory settings. Now, no computer will recognize my phone.
I have tried several computers, 3 windows 7 computers and 1 iMac. None of them recognize the phone.
I have tried two different cables and every USB port on all of the computers. Nothing seems to be working.
All I wanted to do was get the Sprint crapware off my phone and now I can't even get back to where I was.
Also, when I try to do the ROM manager I am getting a file signature error.

You can try Software Data Cable app, This app allows you to connect to your computer via the same wifi connection. You might give it a shot.

I had this problem once. I think i went into my usb settings and click ask on connect or something like that. Worked for me at the time.

I was in the same boat. Was rocking UKB ComRom 2.0 when all of a sudden I could no longer connect my phone via USB to my PC. I was running Windows Vista and had never had a problem before. I tried multiple PC's and multiple cords. I was worried that I would have to get a replacement.
I cleaned the USB port on the phone with no luck. Installed and deleted and reinstalled the drivers 3 times with no luck. Made sure USB settings on the phone were correct. Toggled the USB settings a few times just in case- no luck. Did a Dalvik and Cache wipe with no luck. The only thing that worked for me was the do a factory reset/Wipe and then redo my phone from there. It left UKB ComRom 2.0 on the phone and I just had to add back in my data. Just an FYI.

ive had this issue since ukb 2.0 i moved to cm7 mtd did a full data wipe and still have this issue >,> wonder if i have to manually change it or somthing

Just had this happen again today on my phone. Fixed it back on the 29th after doing a factory reset and then reinstalled my apps/ etc......This time all I had to do was a Davlik, Cache wipe and it seemed to fix the problem. Never had this happen before ComRom 2.0, but not it is happening more frequently it seems. Any ideas?

[Q] Screen not working?

Ok, this is a fun one...
I was up late last night (too late to be doing anything on my nook apparently) and I opened CWM to see if there was an update for it. I noticed it could check for updates to my ROM, so I found the new nightly (160) with it. I decided to install it to see if that would be an easier way then manually downloading and flashing. It cam up with options to wipe cache and such, and I did not realize until too late that the Data and Cache options were one in the same.
So I set it to do a backup, then wipe the data/cache, and dalvik cache. When it booted back up I had lost everything...obviously. So I rebooted into recovery, and restored my backup. Once finished, the screen went blank and did not come back on.
Now I get nothing, no response from the screen. Today I DID plug it into the usb on my work computer and it tried to install drivers so I think it may be on...
Anyone have any ideas?

Anybody?
I'm hopin it is on and that the battery will die...but I am not sure that will solve anything.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Go here and start again: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/
Make sure you use the latest version of CWR (3.2.0.1)

The problem is actually that I get no response from my screen. It does not turn on, flash like it's going to work, DO anything. That's what has me so worried

It is fully charged and you get nothing with a bootable SD card installed? Have you tried this while still plugged in to the a/c current?

I do not know about being fully charged...but I HAVE tried it plugged into USB on my computer. Still nothing.

Ok, I got it on! Not sure if this was it but now it complained about low battery. I had previously plugged it in for a whole night and got nothin. I think I will use your previous link to just wipe it all and start from scratch.

Edit: I am back up and running, thanks for your advice!

USB Connection Not Working

So I start with some history:
SGS i9000
Currently using 10.2.2 (just flashed) JVQ
Android 2.3.4
When I got Darky 10.2 everything seemed smooth. Problems started to occur little by little. Battery drain, always 98-95% when taking off from the charger. Strange tilts, app / screen just freezes and after a while automatic reboot. Strange slowdowns, sometimes friends can't call me...
I think it's all because of custom kernel and rom.
Now I can't connect my Samsung to my Mac. It charges but no connection. I tried different cable, flashing 10.2 to 10.2.2. Wiping everything on the phone. Nothing. Phone is in Mass Storage state, also tried USB Debugging.
It's kinda hard to reflash this thing to previous systems because how do I flash with Odin without usb connection.
Any ideas?

You might try another PC with a fresh USB driver install. I'd suggest a Windows running one.

Restart phone and comp.

@zomirp: i'm not an idiot
I've done everything one could imagine. Tried PC instead of my Mac. Different USB cable. I've reflashed, wiped all data + dalvik cache. I've tried to switch USB from PhoneUtil to Modem and back to PDA but no help.

Boot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup from known working config. You have a backup right...?
Failing that, can't you download 10.2 again on your phone, restart in recovery and install using CWM?

@dolphindos sorry to hear that your phone is misbehaving.
I had something similar, but instead of immediatly blaming the software, I decided to take a look at the hardware.
what are the odds that software changes hardware....
I think your usb connector crapped out just like mine did recently. I went to the repair center got it fixed and all's fine now.
My thoughts have a look at the hardware

Yes that is a possibility. Well I guess I need to find a way to get stock firmware flashed since I can't take the phone with Darky's to manufacturer.

[Q] green defy fixed sbf flashed no gapps or phone service

Hi All,
Please HELP.
I was a complete noob to rooting until I started this but spurred on by successfully rooting and overclocking / undervolting my defy I thought I would try to install Gingerbread so I can use the stupid stupid sky+ app which no longer supports 2.2.2.
Its all gone horribly wrong and I still dont know why as I checked and rechecked the prep but S..t happens so they say.
I have pretty much given up on this and will buy a new phone tomorrow if I cant sort today but would like to ask everyone that has more knowledge than myself on this subject (which doesn't narrow the field much!) if they have any ideas.
Well where do I start, I bricked my defy.
Apart from when I flash shadows rom (see below) I have only black screen, white led on usb connection, no recovery boot. phone is visible to rsd lite but nothing else. This happened after I lost sd card availability after reset / wipe trying to install a fixed gingerbread rom using RSD lite.
I could not flash back to froyo and every other recovery sbf i tried wouldn't work until I found an old sbf from shadow which actually booted up! YESS!! but then Nooo!. phone screen looks very nice - not sure what version it is but assume ICS (its got spareparts folder which I`ve not seen before) - and works as alarm clock and web browser but no phone function at all - no signal, no call or end call buttons - just not there! this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143) is the link where I found shadows version, couldn't wipe in between each step so just flashed 3 files in turn using rsd lite and it seemed to work - phone booted up after 3rd sbf was flashed. The rom is set up for developers and has some developing tools included acr, api demo,dev tools, hstcmd & redlinecap
Main problems:-
The rom is a tmobile version and I`m on vodaphone so maybe this is why there's no phone service but I wasn't prompted for an unlock code so assume its not locked.
The 2nd boot recovery no longer works even after reroot and reinstall (see below). I can surf the web very well via wifi - much quicker than before but downloads dont seem to work but only tried shortfuse.org and that site is apparently down atm and anything that requires google wont work as Gapps got deleted. I cant install GAPPS without boot menu.
recovery from main boot menu is unavailable and zip from sd just reboots.
I also cant connect my phone to my pc via usb and have the sd card available at the same time, as soon as the USB is connected the sd card is not available to the phone, I can see it on the pc and can read / write / delete from the pc - (usb debugging is disabled). when I access the sd card via file manager on phone (with usb disconnected) I can install some programmes that I have transferred from my pc; 2ndinit installed and said 2nd init installed ok again (after re-rooting) but still no blue led on reboot.
I've since tried everything I can think of or search for - After loosing the sd card availability I copied card contents to pc and reformatted sd card on pc. copied back the files immediately before flash attempt to sd as well as the rooted froyo backup I had and nothing changes. I have a titanium backup on the card but have so far been unable to install titanium again to try and restore it. no play acces as no gapps and when I try to access via pc and send it to phone it says installed but its not on the phone. every other file on the sd card results in error parsing file or file type not supported.
BTW when I say originally that I lost sd card availability I have now realised that it was the problem with having the usb installed at the same time which caused it and if I had unplugged it may have worked but still dont understand where this problem came from but I did have usb debugging turned on at the time.
I have scoured these holy pages for 2 whole days and tried several fixes which have probably really messed up everything even more but nothing has changed with the usability (or not) of the phone. A lot of the old links found were dead or taken over by a fake install of filemanager that my antivirus caught was a trojan. Due to this I may have missed an avenue or 2 but think I`ve tried everything I can.
At this stage I do not know exactly what I`ve tried as the list is endless but it includes reflashing the green lense kernel, attempting to reflash the original rom and any other recovery, fixed or stock roms I have found which don't specifically say only for defy+ and the only rom that allows the phone to boot is shadows above and that has no functionality.
I would love to install the latest cm10 build but cant get into the 2ndinit menue so unless someone knows away to flash it using RSD lite I`m stuck.
I do not even know if the cm10 would work as I`ve probably messed up the kernel and the original rom so the 2nd init may not get a look in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. You'll find me under the stairs mumbling to myself and probably dribbling a bit - my wife thinks I`ve gone mad and is not talking to me until I get another phone or fix this one but I hate admitting defeat on technical problems.:crying:
PS I dont mind if I fix the issues with shadows rom, go back to any stable build or get cm10 working I just need the phone.
Thanks in advance, Tim

update
Hi All,
Just a quick update on this thread as I`ve had a bit more of a play and think I`m getting somewhere possibly.
I have now eliminated the problem of not being able to see the sd card files in file manager when the usb is connected.
How? - i haven't got a clue, i just unsuccessfully tried flashing a few more roms and when I reinstalled shadows rom i could view files whilst connected.
Also the 2ndinit now gives me the green led when it installed the 2nd boot but unfortunately I still dont get the blue led on reboot.
Another strange thing is I dont get the round M logo on boot but motorola written in white??
If I could just get to the CW recovery on boot I could install cm10.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tim

fixed by flashing with JDGC_U6_2.13.0
YESS FIXED BY FLASHING JDGC_U6_2.13.0 SBF using RSD lite.
Many thanks to everyone that helped via another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217016&page=2, I thought they were far too many issues with this phone to repair but the latest froyo rom and kernal in the above sbf worked fabulously.
As has been said on several posts flashing this SBF will not allow you to return to the uk stock rom after (to return a phone under warranty etc) but if you're stuck with a brick then this should clean up your phone to original settings to allow the install of cm10 or another rom of your choosing (as long as its build 6 or later)

Need help unbricking Galaxy Express i437p

Hi,
As the tittle suggest, I've managed to brick my phone.
The phone isn't responding at all, and acts as though the battery is pulled out. When I connect it to my PC, it shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD, and there are no drivers.
Note that this is the same PC I used to flash cyanogenmod 10.2, so I have all the required samsung drivers. Also, it's the odin doesn't detect my phone.
The last steps I took before my phone died:
1) installed App2SD
2) partitioned my SD
3) installed and configured linux swap
4) restarted
After that, the phone got angry and just wouldn't respond. I didn't even have time to transfer any of my apps to the SD.
The phone has a custom rom installed (cyanogenmod 10.2). Already took it to a service place, with no luck..
Any ideas?
Thanks

You're in a rough spot here. You only have two possible options:
1) See if someone with your phone can make a debrick img file similar to this idea -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660566
I haven't seen anyone say they have tried something similar on your phone, but the only other option will be...
2) JTAG Service such as this -
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/
If you're getting QHSUSB drivers, you're past the help of conventional unbricking methods using tools like Kies, Odin, or Heimdall.

Thanks, you've given me some hope! I have some data I would really like to restore..
I'll try and post back here if I get some results
