Please help! My USB port stopped working, no charge, pc access.

I have a mytouch 3g 36b and I installed the latest CM6 and everything was working fine, until my usb stopped charging, no usb connection to any pc. Everything else seems to be ok. I tried reflashing CM6 and even CM5, I went back the 1.6 hoping that would do it, but it doesnt work.
Am I screwed? What can I do? Please help someone.

Sounds like a hardware issue with your phones USB port. Try getting it fixed/replaced under warranty if you have one.

I got it to work, i unrooted and went back to 1.5 and the USB ports started to work again. This is not my phone so I am not going to bother messing with it any more, I will just let it update OTA and be done with it.
I had no problems with my phone.

Weird.

Sorry to bring this back up from the dead, but I appear to have a similar issue. Although i know it is not your phone would it be possible in some way to obtain the misc.img from that phone or if you have a working magic?
I hear that some desires have some success in re-flashing a corrupted misc partition to fix a similar usb brick issue and I was wondering if I could do the same.
All you would need to do is type this in terminal
su
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
and grab it off the sdcard

Once you have sdk installed, if you're having trouble connecting your phone to your computer, get "adb wireless" from the market and you can connect that way leaving no need for the usb cable. All you need is your phones wi-fi turned on and a know how of adb.

You have to have a router too. A way that both the computer and phone can connect.

Yeah... Thanks

As most people would say, wrong place. This is a question that belongs in the general section.
Did you install the samsung driver onto your computer?

Sorry about that.

Yes. Tried my wifes. Tried one from my BB. Tried de-bugging mode. Tried rebooting while connected. Lol

Did you try a different USB port?
Also I would suggest updating to EB01 since DL30 isn't supported by devs and is a less stable Froyo build. Uninstall the Samsung drivers, reboot, reinstall and try it again.

Mine quit working today....i disabled usb debug then did a battery pull. Rebooted..enabled usb all is well...

I've had this issue and have tracked it down to my BT dongle. Every time I use it on my win 7 64bit box I have to uninstall the Samsung drivers, then reinstall without the phone or the BT dongle plugged in.

Thanks for all the input. It finally started working. I installed another rom and kernel. But now I can't get odin to recognize the phone in download mode. Weird stuff....

I just ran into this myslef, and I believe the Fascinate has a bit of a multiple personality disorder. When I went through the Windows registry, I found entries listing the phone as a phone, as removable storage, as a SD card reader and as a CD drive. Nothing worked - no matter what I did, Windows wouldn't recognize it as anything.
To solve it, I had to uninstall the Samsung drivers and then search through the registry, removing anything that said Samsung. A bunch of keys gave me permission errors, but after finally removing them all, I connected the phone and it was immediately recognized as an Android Device. I reloaded the Samsung drivers and everything is back to normal.
A major PITA, but I'm just glad there was a solution.
If you want to try to do the same, uninstall the Samsung drivers, open regedit and search for Samsung. Delete any key that says Samsung (assuming you don't have any other Samsung peripherals). Hopefully you won't run into the permissions problems, but if you do, let me know and I'll walk you through how to get past them.

ChrisDDD, thank you. I will try that asap. That is some great information. I will report back my findings after I'm finished.

Well finally got around do working on this. And YES it worked. At least on my XP machine. Got some permission problems on my win 7 machine.
Chris, thanks for that bit of info. Only thing I had to do different than most was to reboot my phone in download from the menu that is installed with my kernel. I couldn't get it to work by pulling the batt and hooking up to pc. Funny stuff trying to get this stuff to work.

Can't Mount nexus s. Usb device not Recognized

My nexus S won't show up on my computer. I've tried re installing and uninstalling the drivers for it. It shows up as an "Unknown device" and tells me that i should try to replace the device. I'm running W7 prof. and 2.3.4 stock on my nexus with root. I've tried several fixes and none have worked. Please if anyone has had the same problem help me out.

Sounds like the cable. Try a new one, something thick like they have at radio shack.

Been having the same problem for months. Don't think it's the cable since everything worked fine before i manually installed 2.3.4. Tried many of the same fixes as you, also with no luck.

Which USB drivers did you use? Try the PDAnet drivers, they seem to work for everyone.

I've tried this and it installed but it didn't work.

Are you trying to have your Nexus S recognized as a USB storage device or a Nexus S device? Have you tried connecting to a different USB port on your computer?

Same problem - seemed to start a week ago when I updated Music app. Tried 3 different PC's and 3 different cables with no luck. Then tried turning off whilst lead still plugged in and it immediately rebooted so I unplugged, put it in recovery mode then plugged in lead and rebooted and it seemed to kick it into life... since then works ok once I'd rebooted PC's. Weird as hell and initial thought USB phone connector was broken but seems fine now. Good luck!

try the samsungdriver , you can find it on nexusshacks.com together with a tutorial on how to install it . worked for me.

Same problem here , just tried switching the cable from my old htc shift and it worked . The one that came with the nexus is having problems , seems to be one more issue for the books for this phone , from the reception , battery use ....

My stock cable didn't support development and my phone keeps disconnecting.
So i tried a different cable, which is from my Nokia N85. It worked fine.

1. try other computer , determinate it is cable, USB port, windows driver or phone problem
2. try delete old device displays in your computer and reinstall, try use "windows update" to find correct driver , by the way , i didn't have to install new driver after i update from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 , so i guess that's same driver
...
and , other silly idea , try to plug it into other new USB port of your computer...
i'm not sure , but sometimes i plug some device out and plug it into other port , windows just reinstall the same driver and disiplay #2 for the same device...

Help rooting my device(I have tried everyting)

Hi this is my first thread but I have been reading this site for some time. Here is my problem.
I have an stock EC05 rom epic 4G recently adquired and I have tried to root it for some time but every method I tried proves to be unsuccesful(I have tried nopc method and oneclickroot) both
Of them finished unsuccesful my biggest problem with the oneclick method is that my computer(and any) can't detect my device as an pendrive, just as an modem so I'm enable to acces anything from my phone when is connected by usb(have tried usb debbuging mode on and off but nothing) I have the drivers installed I'm my pc but they don't seem to connect whit my phone(have reinstalled them but not working, the same as before) so I don't have a clue of what's wrong or missing if someone could help whit anything I would thank it a lot.
If you need to know something else I'm. Cheking contantly the thread to refresh it the quicker I can.

Did you try using bonsai master unlocker?

Have u tried all the USB ports? Also if u are using the stock Samsung USB cable. Try a different one.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Yup I have tried every usb port and a BB cable but nothing. Its the same whit the stock cable and no I never have read about the bonsai method I will try it.

Did you download the samsung drivers to your PC?
Sorry, I see you did that.
Keep trying different cables, it took me 3 to find the right one.

Did you let th drivers install the fist time you plugged it in?
Sent from my SPH-D700

Well in fact I think is not the cable because my computer is able to detect it but not as an usb mass storage when I plug it to my pc 3 drivers are loaded the cdma modem samsung usb modem and the theter one but no one is the android usb driver that I have seen in some videos and whit another android phones ohh and I have been trying to find the bonsai methhod but it seems that the thread have been deleted.

i had a very similar problem when rooting mine. do you have access to another os to try it on? when i was doing mine i had to do it on mac os . i was using the oneclick method but it took awhile as the newer models of the epic seem to hate windows 7......dunno why tho...lemme know how it goes and if its still not working i can send the exact programs i used.

well i have tried bonsai masterkey but no the same as the others I'm getting frustrated by this situation

You could also try rebooting your phone, computer, or both.

a great place for beginners to start at is theunlockr.com, if your not firmilliar with your phone and how the root process works they are great about holding your hand through the process and have some pretty good starting points for what roms to use so on and so forth...

Some of your wording is a little confusing, are you saying that you can't even get usb mass storage to work? (Meaning,are you able to transfer anything to your phone?)
If that's the case, then that honestly sounds like a faulty usb port on your phone and you might have to get it serviced.

and for the asking if i used debug mode yeah i tried in every form to connect it to the computer but the same. if some one could conduct me to a way to use odin i would be very greathful

Stuff you need and Odin instructions are in first post of link below. I would also read through thread if you run into any problems. If Odin shows "com 4,5 or 6" really any number it means it should be recognizing phone. That will show in left upper box on Odin program when u put phone in download mode and connect to PC.

Sir, if you can't transfer files to your phone, you need to go to a sprint store. It'll be free if you pay for TEP.
These are the exact same symptoms of my friend's phone. Can't mount SD to a computer, same drivers that end up installing, no one click or unlocker will work; but odin recognizes (and works). I'm having him come in to my store next week.

well it would be the best thing to do but I´m not able to do that because I´m not in the USA so it´s quite umprobable that I can do that i will try to use odin and see what happens thanks for your attention I appreciated
