Computer recognition help!

Have done done searching, but still can't get my phone to connect to my computer. I've tried everything that I've found posted. Doesn't mean I found then all.
I get "usb device not recognized" when I plug on my phone. I'm trying to flash the modem to get my text messaging to work. Windows 7 64bit
DL30 black hole 4.1
Any help would be appreciated.

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 divers have been installed a long time. I used to be able to connect. Then about a month ago it decided to stop. I even tried it on a XP system, same thing.

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.

[Q] Stuck on DK28? Want EB13 real bad...need help

Hey All,
Currently, my epic is running DK28. I think something is physically messed up with the USB connection (this is my guess), since it never is recognized on any computer (tried multiple). Also, the options for USB hard drive or charge only never appear when plugged into computer.
SO, I am wondering if there is anyway to get back to DI18 via an update.zip mechanism. I am able to use SwiftFTP to get files back and forth from the SD slot. But since the USB drive is not recognized by the comp., Odin or the Samsung update tool are not options.
Wondering if there is any other suggestions out there for me,
Thanks
Also, since I'm running DK28, sprint stores will not operate or give me a new phone since its not the "official" version... already tried.

the only way you are going to be able to update is to get usb working (un/reinstall drivers, use a diff cable, use diff usb ports, etc) and either odin or use the eb13 update .exe on your pc
the only other option you have right now is to wait on a cwm flashable system dump but that will not give you the modem or other things that you will probably need...
so i say fix the usb issue...that is really your only option

I've tried multiple different USB cables, reinstalled drivers (on numerous pc's), and used different ports on those pc's. I think i'm probably SOL on this one.

here is a cwm flashable zip to take you back to di18. [Linky]
You will still need to put the stock recovery back after that if you are trying to go totally stock. I know the files for it are around here somewhere, and iirc they may be in the di18 odin tar.

Ok. Thanks,
I will try to flash the zip provided. If it works and i get back to DI18, then would I be able to flash the EB13 update zip floating around? Sorry, I am a little confused.

are you sure you don't have usb debugging on?

I tried the update.zip and I get the E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted message. Oh well, thanks though.
Looks like I'm stuck with this one for a while.

Does USB work in download mode? If so you can use ODIN, if not the ROM is not your problem.

USB does not work in download mode either... get some error messages from windows, USB not recognized and such.

reinstall your samsung drivers if that doesn't work you have a big problem.
edit. Try another computer as well

Your usb port may have gone bad. My first epic usb wouldnt do anything after having it for like 30 days so the sprint store just replaced it.

Ya. I tried that. But since i'm stuck on DK28, they won't look at it. The considered it "rooted" even though it isn't. And wouldn't take a look at it. They just gave it back to me.

What are you selecting to flash the zip? If you are doing it right, there should be no signature verification.
Also, after flashing the zip, you might download the ota, but it won't install until you put the stock recovery back, too.

I do not have clockworkmod. I suppose I should try that before.
I'll try that now, then see what happens
Edit: Sorry, but I'm pretty much a complete idiot. Is it possible to get clockwork working without connection to a pc?

Most likely, the USB cord is the problem. If the computer tells you, the driver was successfully installed, then that's the least of ur problems. I had problems similar to what ur having (USB not recognized, doesn't recognize in Download mode, etc etc.) All I had to do was find a USB cord that worked correctly (the one that came with the phone is not reliable 100%) and all ur problems should be solved!

How unfortnate in may seem, they might have just been all bad cables. I eventualy used the cord from my brother's EVO, so...... just a suggestion, I still may be completely wrong.

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.

i never connect via usb. you download the rom onto the phone, boot into recovery, flash the rom, then reboot. easy.

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...

Problem with updating Android 1.6 to 2.1

Hi All.
I've got a problem with updating my phone. No matter what I do, the computer doesn't see it and the phone doesn't see computer. I've tried different drivers and nothing helped. On the phone there isn't any sign, that it's connected to anything and the computer doesn't show anything too. There isn't even any sound, that indicates that something has been connected to the computer. I've got Windows 7 64bit.
I hope that somebody will know what could be the problem.

Try a different usb port? Damaged USB cable(maybe..)

I've tried on 3 computers. Is it possible that the cable is broken if it charges the battery??
Update:
At last I've got 2.1 on my phone. There was something wrong with the cable or USB port. I had to keep the cable with my hands that it wouldn't disconnect.

USB uses different wires for power and data, so although your phone is charging one of the wires that transfers data could have been damaged so it would charge but not transfer any data.
As for your edit, that was dangerous, if it had disconnected you would have bricked your phone, I would invest in a new cable before I attempt to use a damaged one especially for flashing firmware, stock or custom.

I'll buy a new cable and see if the cable was broken or the USB port. I'm lucky that everything is OK. I'll wait until I'll change something in my phone.
I've got one question. Is there any way to install applications on SD card??

Multiple ways.

I'm thinking about updating to Android 2.3, does it have the possibility to install apps on SD card??

after you uninstall and reinstall the usb drivers, reboot both your PC and your phone then see if your device is read correctly. which root method are you trying to use, btw? if you are using the method by @AdamOutler, he recommends running casual without the drivers or anything installed yet. literally just plug in the S4 and let casual do everything.
