Connecting via USB or Kies not working - Galaxy S I9000 General

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

"Unknown Device" after uninstalling Kies >.<

i hate Kies!!!!!!!!! it just died on me >.<
now when i plug the phone to the PC it shows up as "Unknown Device"
if i connect to another computer, then it works fine.
the thing was working fine until i tried uninstalling Kies to install a newer version of Kies
Kies is the worst piece of crap. It is incredible Samsung can not get such a simple thing right!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
This is insane!!!!!!!
it suddenly started working properly now, without doing anything on the computer
now it properly identify itself as Android device instead of an "Unknown Device"
Kies and it's crazy ness
i did not even reboot the computer
Screenshot of Kies working when it feels like it...

i found the solution for the problem ...if you are using any of launchers from market launcher pro or awd launcher u need to switch back to stock launcher and restart the phone after u reboot the phone with stock launcher simply connect ur phone to computer after that ur pc should have no problem finding ur galaxy s ,np
Why does it say: This device's version cannot be updated?
it's not necessary to reboot the phone
just run TwLauncher and it works right away, as long as the USB in the phone is not set to Debug mode.
The problem i was having was with Kies and USB port in the PC

It doesn't appear to be anything to do with the phone itself.
I just plugged my phone in and got the "USB Device Not Recognised" error message.
I unplugged the phone and restarted it, but my computer is still flashing up the "USB Device Not Recognised" error every few seconds - without the phone connected!
I think the USB drivers are seriously flawed. I'm sick of reinstalling them just so I can connect my phone, which has become my standard way of resolving the issue.
Either that, or I've had to completely uninstall and reinstall Kies, a number of times, which usually works for the first few times I plug the phone in before failing again.
Pain in the ass.
I'm sick of this - and I'm kicking myself - as I suspected Samsung just didn't know how to provide software, based on lots of stories that seem to float around online about them.
I wish I'd stuck with HTC now.
fyi, I'm running Windows7 64bit, which seems to be a common platform to have problems with.
i only use Kies to check for Official ROMs downloads
i don't use Kies for anything else
all my syncing, calendars and contacts are handled online on Google

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_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.

[Q]PC cannot identify Nexus 7, no driver? Charging when USB is connected

I recently bought a Nexus 7 (2012 - WiFi Version) on eB*y, the Device is Rooted, ROM is CyanogenMod-NIGHTLY-Grouper.
When i tryed to connect the Nexus 7 with my Laptop and PC it started to charge (but verry, verry slow) and i Windows says that the USB device cannot be identified (also i cannot install drivers for it becaus it cannot be identified) Fail-Code is: 43. I tryed it on Win7 Desktop PC and on a Win10 Laptop but no chance.
Also i tryed to install a Factory ROM via Recovery Mode (from SD Card) it says: Installation aborted.
I really dont know what to do now? I think it is the USB Flex Cable, what do you guys think?
Sorry for my bad English.
Hope someone can help me here.
On your Nexus 7, search for a setting called USB connections and ensure MTP is checked.
On your windows PC, Control Panel > Device Manager, go to your broken Nexus device, right click and update the driver for it... Select you want to install the driver yourself. Then it will ask you to browse to the driver, but underneath that you will have another selection along the lines, "select from common driver list". From there, look under portable devices and select either MTP Storage or MTP USB Storage. I had the same problem and only MTP USB Storage works for me.
For ADB and Fastboot stuff... Search these forums.
Hope that helps.

Don't forget to try other USB cables.
Just use the Nexus Root Toolkit and follow the easy wizard to completely setup the N7 on your PC:
